"SHE'LL BE ALRIGHT, Mr. Luthra. Please wait outside, when she'll gain her consciousness, we'll call you inside."

"No, Lisa! You don't understand, she means so damm much to me."

I slowly opened my eyes and saw two figures were already present in the white four walled room. Karan was hovering over me and the woman - doctor I guess, wrapped her hands around her chest and smiled at me. "How are you feeling, Ms. Arora?"

I smiled weakly at her. "I'm fine, but still sore, though," I replied and sighed. My head hurts like I got hit by a truck and everything happened a few hours ago was blank.

"Yes, you got a deep hurt in the head - but thank goodness, you didn't get amnesia or anything. Your lucky that the person hit you just below the sensitive part of your skull." She said, checking out my results. I hummed in response and she gave me a curt nod, "everything's fine and you'll get discharged by tomorrow. Now, I'll leave you both, alone."

I nodded and then, I realised Karan was also in the room. My gaze averted to Karan and I saw him sighing. He plopped on the stool and I turned to his side. "Karan?"

He turned towards me. "Yeah?"

I smiled at him. "Thank you." He smiled back at me and stroked my hair, lovingly. Nostalgia hit me yet - again. Everything felt so surreal and I remember the university days, where we use to spend the weekends, binge watching netflix, cuddling or lie on his laps. "But, what excatly happned?"

He sighed and for a second, his eyes darkened. "It's nothing, Preeta. Some bastard decides to hit you on your head and thought to kidnap you, but - just like always, your prince charming is here as usual," he smirked at me and I rolled my eyes. I chuckled and he joined me in and then, I noticed his dimples when he laughed. I smiled and we both just sat like that. Staring at each other, with a smile. And it was indeed - a rare moment.

"Just fill the paperwork and you're done. You can take her home, Karan." Lisa, the doctor said to karan and he curtly nodded at her and started to fill in the paperwork. I was still in my hospital robe and I can't stop cringing at the outfit I'm wearing.

After the paperwork, I wore my last night clothes and Karan handed me my handbag. I smiled at him and took out my mobile. The lockscreen was of me and Amyra together, which we clicked in the disneyland, when we went last year. I hope he didn't go through my mobile. Oh my goodness.

"What's the password, pree?" Karan casually asked and I rolled my eyes.

"I never say my password to anyone, Karan. So, please don't expect me to disclose it to a person - like, you." I said and he grunted in response. We both walk to the parking lot and I sat in the passenger's seat and Karan in the driver's seat. He put on his black sunglasses and started to drive.

After thirty minutes of jamming songs, fighting over the radio and grunting - we finally reached the hotel. I got down from the car and started to move towards the entrance. After the check in, me and Karan got into the lift and pressed our floor number.

After bidding him bye, I entered into my room and plopped on the bed. I recalled everything happned in these twenty-four hours. The accident litreally seemed silly to me - I can't comprehend the fact, that I was merely a inch distant from the kidnap. Thanks to Karan.

Just as I was about to get up, I heard a ting from my phone. It was from karan.

hey, pree.
if your feeling better &
okay with me - you can join
dinner with me in the
restaurant.
~ karan.

I smiled and locked the phone. I sighed and ran a hand through my wardrobe. I picked out a yellow summer dress and placed it on the bed. I got into the hot shower and rubbed all over. I don't want the hospital's smell on me - it's disgusting. I shuddered and wrapped a towel around me.

After putting on the dress, I curled my bottom hair and applied mascara and lip balm. I took out my wallet from my handbag and wore my black pumps. Taking my wallet and phone, I closed the door behind and walked towards the restraunt.

When I finally reached the restraunt, it wasn't that stuffed for the fact. I sighed in relief and walked to the Karan's table. "Hey."

He smiled. "Hey."

"Did you order anything?" I asked, pulling out a chair for myself and suiting myself in the chair. He shook his head, while reading the menu card. The waitress came and asked our order.

"I'll take fish and chips, along with white wine, please. Thank you." I said.

"You, sir?" She asked Karan.

"Umm . . . I'll take the mashed potatoes, chicken ratatouille and white wine, please. Thank you." He ordered and waitress left, after writing down our orders.

"So, what else?"

"From past how many years, your password is my birthday date, Preeta?"
