He gave her an injection and sat on a stool beside her bed.

After some time, he sprinkled some water on her face. He sighed with relief when there was a moment in her eye balls.

"Basket..... Are you fine?" he asked her anxiously as she slowly opened her eyes.

Rajsekhar paced to and fro in the living room checking the watch for every minute.

"Rishika should have been back by 7.30. It is almost 8. Why is she late?' he thought. He dialed her number but didn't get any answer and became more restless.

Rishika's encounter with Santhosh at the shop flashed in his mind and he quickly grabbed the car keys and left for KIMS.
******************************
To Santhosh's utter shock Rishika just opened her eyes and smiled at him peacefully. He helped her half-lay on the bed with the support of the pillows and made her drink the juice.

She smiled at him again and Santhosh noticed her dreamy eyes thinking 'Is she awake?' She then shifted to one side on the bed and dozed off, curling up, leaving a motionless Santhosh.

He covered her properly with a sheet and kept staring at her in disbelief.
Santhosh scratched his trying to take in.

'Rishika is not aware that I destroyed her bike so I got a smile from her. What will I get if she knows about it?' He sensed a slight shiver running down his spine.

'No. Santhosh doesn't get afraid of anyone' trying to convince himself he walked out of the room. 'But why did she get so disturbed? I mean it's just a bike?'

Lost in his thoughts he bumped into Meera who was rushing into the rest room, along with Rahul.

"Santhosh what happened to Rishika? Why did you call us? Is she fine? Did......." Meera shot all the questions in one breath.

"Chill yaar Meera. Take the pain of breathing sometimes." Santhosh cut her in between, trying to calm her down only to get a smack at his shoulder.

"What happened to her?" Rahul asked not paying any attention to his words.

"Nothing to worry. She fainted. I guess due to tiredness. I gave her an injection and she is taking rest now." He said switching to his role of a doctor.

But Meera was not satisfied with his answer. She rushed into the room and watched Rishika fine, in a deep slumber.

She pushed Santhosh onto a chair in the corridor and asked him "Fainted? Santhosh tell the truth. Why did she faint? What happened to her bike?" in a voice that was just above a whisper.

"We noticed her bike at the parking area. What happened? Was she hit by any accident?" Rahul added up to Meera and they both looked at Santhosh expecting some answer.

Santhosh smiled at them nervously. He knew he was caught and his mind was not too steady to cook up something quick.

So he gave in "Actually..............." He told them about their encounter at the gift shop and his plan of asking the kids to destroy her bike.

"On reaching the parking area she cried and fainted. I didn't expect she would be hurt so much and that too for a bike" he said shrugging his shoulders.

"Santhosh, you destroyed it? That bike was presented by her mother. No wonder she was deeply disturbed. I won't be surprised if she wants to stab you to death." Meera yelled at him fuming with anger.

"Comon Meer. Am I supposed to dream that the bike was her present? I just thought it would be a tit-for-tat."

Santhosh tried to convince her and looked at Rahul expecting some support. But after getting a dirty look from him, he tried again
