Don't Leave Me #3 *WattpadIndiaAwards*

Chapter 12

*Palak Pov*

I slowly opened my eyes only to close them immediately feeling a sense of discomfort in my head. Why is my head paining so much? Why is my stomach churning? Wait! Why is this bed so small suddenly?

I tried to turn around to sleep on my back instead of on my side, but felt something pressing into my back, not letting me move at all.

"You are finally awake?" hearing those words, I turned my head in a splash, but groaned feeling dizzy with that movement.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, frowning even though I kept my eyes closed feeling pain in them. Why is it feeling too much of an effort to even open them?

Why am I even asking these many questions without any pause in the first place? Ugh! I hugged myself hoping this discomfort just goes away along with getting answers to all my questions.

"You don't remember?" this time his question finally paused all kinds of questions and made me think about yesterday.

Right! Yesterday I tried to drink but in the end got drunk completely. They both took me home, right? Wait! He was there when we reached and then took me inside the house.

And then... oh no! No way! No... no... what have I done? I groaned, remembering everything I uttered in this drunken state.

"How are you feeling?" I opened my eyes in shock this time when I felt him placing his arm around me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, glancing at his hand.

"I am inquiring about your health." He replied in a calm tone.

"I am asking about this." I mumbled tapping his hand.

"What about this? We both spend the night like this only and I just turned around to check the time at the time you woke up." He explained which is making me wish to think this more like a dream rather than a reality.

"I don't know why we did that, but you can let me go now." I cleared my throat and used my best tone, hoping he will not catch on to the nervousness I am feeling right now.

However, he continued to hold me and I tried to move away from him, but if move another inch then I will fall down for sure. Can't he understand that I was just drunk yesterday and he shouldn't take it in a serious sense?

"I already decided to not leave you. So, just sleep comfortably." He mumbled, pulling me back into his arms.

"I don't know what you are talking about." I stated in a straight tone and he just chuckled at that.

Seriously? Is he not getting the picture here or what? Maybe he is purposefully not letting me have an escape from this situation.

"I like you too, Palak. It is not a fun act from my side." His words paused my actions to remove his hand from my waist.

"No need to hide what you are feeling too. I am not going to leave you, Palak." He added when I didn't say anything even after hearing his words.

"I am scared." I finally whispered this time holding his hand with mine in a tight grip which made him hold me even tighter.

We stayed like that in silence for a few seconds before I realize that I actually have to leave for the hospital too. It's a good thing that I am still wearing my watch which helped me to check the time immediately the moment I remembered about the hospital.

"I am late!" I whispered, staring at my watch in shock and shifted to get up, but his hold is stronger than I expected it to be.

"You are in condition to go and do your work. Just take the day off or at least a half day." He mumbled and I felt phone passing to my hands after he said those words.
