Ranveer came back to the hospital room after a while , Muktha was asleep , he stepped quietly beside the in order to not disturb her , she looked so beautiful in her so sleep , that he couldn't help himself , leaning down he softly pecked her forehead , he stood up , wondering what had him become a softy towards this women , he was never this , and never would be , she was changing him in a short span and he didn't want that , he must keep his distance .
__________________,_,_________________________
As the nurses helped Muktha into the car , Ranveer fisted his hands to keep himself from going to her aid , every painful grunt from her twisted his heart , a heart he never knew he had .
When they were half way through the drive Muktha glanced worried at Ranveer , he had the steering clutched tightly with knuckles turning white and his chiseled jaw clenched it was as if he was angry at something .
" are you alright ? ",her voice broke through his chain of thoughts .
" yes , why do you ask ", he was surprised at her question and was more surprised when he noticed worry in her face .
She shook her head , and turned to the window what was she thinking , she didn't know why but she was concerned for him , may be because he saved her , yes it could only be the reason .
"We are here " . She heard him say , he jogged to her side and opened the door for her and lend his hand to her , she took his hand as tingles coursed through her , ignoring her pain she stepped out , pain shot in her flank , bitting her lip she tried to control her tears of pain .
When Ranveer looked at her face he regretted not helping her , he must have put aside his ego and aided her , how stupid of him .
He bent down and picked her up careful of her injury , she let out a startled gasp , he looked straight ahead and walked inside his mansion .
Muktha's p.o.v,
I was surprised when he picked me up in bridal style , and headed inside his house , no , more like a mansion , palace or whatever you could call a place big as this , I tried not squirm in his hold , his touch ignited sensations inside me I've never felt , he was so close to me , this was the first time he was in such close proximity with me since the hours we've met .
Once inside he placed me softly on a sofa in the living room , his face so close to me his warm breath fanning my face , his arms still around me halted , as our eyes met , he eyes showed emotions that I couldn't read , he was from the man I had met in the morning , right now he looked cold and ruthless his aura radiating power .
I don't know how long we were looking like that , he was the first to break her stare , as his phone rang interrupting our moments , haaa 'gadgets' . He pulled back and fished for his mobile and excused himself from me and walked away . I took the time to look around the place the living was beautiful , it was modern , but what made me curious were the design all of them were dark colors . And they were no family photos hanging only a few paintings , it screamed pain , sorrow , and loneliness , I wanted to take a closer look at them , but then I sat quietly on the sofa as I didn't want to get the pain back .
He returned after a few minutes , " I've informed the staff to help you with stuffs that you'll need like clothes , toiletries and all , and feel free to ask anything you want " he said his voice was soft but he still had that look which says stay away , I wondered why . But I was thankful that he let me stay at his house , at the moment I didn't have anybody that could help me , I depended on him , I trusted him which was surprising since it was only in this morning I came to know of him . May be because he saved me .
" are you listening to me " his voice stopped my wandering thoughts . I could see that he was annoyed , what was with him just this morning he smiling pleasantly at me and right now he was glaring is he bipolar .
" I'm sorry what were you saying " , I asked still confused with his behavior .
" I was asking whether you're hungry " he told me , just then my stupid tummy planned on embarrassing me , yaa it growled , you can't blame me, I had been starved for two weeks and then the disgusting lunch at hospital . Heat flushed my face in embarrassment I'm sure I must be looking red as tomato right now , Ranveer's expression turned from grim to amusement .
" I think I got my answer " he chuckled , I gave him an awkward smile .
" I'll order something for us " he said and walked of again , I'm bored to hell in just a few minutes , I'll have to find out why he was suddenly so cold , may be because I was here , might be that I'm disturbing his privacy , he must have asked me out of pity . I used his kindness , he did more when he saved me , suddenly I felt selfish , it was like I'm using him .
He was back after a few minutes ," I've ordered some soup for if that is ok with you or you can change if you want " he said looking at his phone not even glancing at me , it hurt i don't know why , but it did .
Ranveer's p.o.v,
I didn't dared to look at her , I was afraid if I did my walls might crumble seeing her innocent face , when was about turned away and go back , she called out my name . My name rolling of her made me want to kiss her senseless . I pushed off my thoughts and looked at her .
" yaa, you want something " I asked trying to school my expression . She was bitting her lower lip and fidgeting with her hands looking extremely nervous .
" can you look for some apartment for me , I swear it would be the last help I'll ask you " she said , I frowned at her was she not comfortable here .
" are you not comfortable here" I asked her still thinking why she wanted leave , the thought her leaving pained me , I was pissed of with myself , I don't want to be near her at the same time , I don't want be away from her , why is my thoughts so delusional.
" oh no its not that I'm sorry for bothering you , I should have know I was invading your privacy I'm so sorry , that was not my intention , I realized I had been selfish when I accepted your offer..... " she was babbling .
" Muktha " I called at her , but she continued " ....burden on you..." I stopped her by raising my voice " Muktha will you stop " , she looked perplexed at my behavior . My gaze softened when I looked at her scared face , " I'm sorry " it was unlike me to apologize , I was shocked myself , this women has made me a softy , and didn't like that one bit who are you lying to you love every moment of it . My inner demon shouted at me .
" you.not.a.burden.on.me " I said emphasizing each word . " l like it that I have some company , after a very long time , ..... " my past memories cogged my mind . I would have disclosed my past if had not been careful.
