#40 MISS U

Third person's POV

Dave was transferred to their own hospital in Chennai. Dave's dad used to treat him and his mom would visit him often. Angel stayed with him throughout taking care of him.

Dave's mom behaved as though Angel was invisible to her eyes. His dad never once attempted to have an eye contact with her. She observed Dave and his dad discussing something privately. But she waited Dave to tell by himself.

On one morning, Dave roused up hearing footsteps nearing him. But he was still pretending to be asleep. He sensed a soft hands clasping his hand. He guessed it to be Angel and he grabbed her wrist and tried to pull her.

She was struggling to escape from his grip. His lips stretched to a smile, his eyelids still unopened, he tightened the grip. He heard her shouting.

" Please.. Leave.. Me.. "

Dave grinning, " No my dear Angel.. Do you think I'll leave you? "

"Please.. "

She was pleading to him. Suddenly something striked him.

Oh no!! This voice is not hers..

Dave wide opened his eyes and visioned himself grabbing the hand of the nurse. He quickly released his hold and scanned the room. He saw Angel standing in a corner clutching her stomach and laughing hilariously.

He averted his gaze to the nurse who was standing cluelessly with bulged out eyes.

"I'm sorry.. I mean.. I misunderstood.. Really sorry.. "

The nurse looked at him and Angel and smiled at him knowingly.

" I came here to remove the bandage. Let me do it and leave you both alone. "

The nurse quickly finished her job and exited the room. Angel clocked in near Dave and ruffled his hair.

" You're so cute Dr. Davison. "

She giggled and attempted to move. She felt her dress being pulled.

"Hey Dave.. Leave my dress. "

She pulled her dress but the grip was so strong.

"Dave.. Don't be naughty.. Leave me. "

Since he didn't leave the hold, Angel turned to face Dave.

"I said leave... "

Dave was chuckling resting his head on his hands. Her gaze followed from his face to her dress which was tugged in a sharp corner of the cot.

"Ouch!! "

Angel face palmed thinking about her silliness. When they were laughing about the funny things that happened, Dave's mom entered the room.

Her face clearly showed that she hated Angel being with her son. After spending few minutes with Dave, she left. Dave noticed the change in Angel's face. Her eyes became dull and woebegone.

"What's up with my Angel? Don't be like this.. I couldn't see your worried face. "

"Dave.. Shall i ask you something? "

"Anything Angel... "

Angel sat next to him and locked his hand within hers.

" I'm scared Dave. I'm afraid of losing you. "

A bead of tear rolled through her cheek and fell on his hand. He rubbed his finger over her cheek and wiped the tears.

" Angel.. Angel.. I'll not be away from you.. Even a second.. Why are you scared unnecessarily? "
