12:04pmMr. POV
I sluggishly woke up to find those pair of eyes boring into mine demanding them from quite some time now to flutter open.How do I know? I could feel them staring earnestly at me.They weren't just any's,I know.
Trying to keep the burning sensation & pulsating pain in the lower right side of my abdomen at bay,I gave a futile attempt to focus on the surrounding.Unable to look anything beyond blurry scribblings of the bright room & those dark eyes,I resolved to shutting them as the best idea."Easy,relaazshdx"
The sweet faint voice jumbled in last..
The sudden feeling of a hand cradling my stiff neck,made me jolt open my eyelids once again,with a fresh shot of pain soaring high on my already baffled mind.While giving another chance to uncloud my sight & thoughts,I felt the head portion of my recliner bed lift up.Thanking the kind owner of my dreamy eyes,I begin to let some information finally seep in my numb brain.The touch is familiar & soft,of course very gentle & encouraging,as expected.The presence of that certain someone is heavenly soothing itself.Next,I moved to concentrate on the face,its calm &serene,but urgh..someone on closer look can find traces of trouble on it ?A watery layer appeared to veil those appealing eyes.
But why ??
The face is movable as well,ahaa..I conducted a 'mentally patting the back' session for the great processing & decided to treat myself later to which my brain just vexed.It had just begun to..wait wait wait WOAHH..its coming dangerously closer,what is happeni-That's it,all my database was corrupted the moment I felt a feathery kiss blessing my hot forehead.An instant relief washed over my existence without permission.The assault isn't over dude,my brain immediately commented to which I could hear my favorite buddy heart shushing furiously,I nodded in it's support.
A second later,I felt those lips touching my palm,caressing the IV dressing on it,the lips I wasn't given a chance to devine but I know.My mind is Colin Clean now,she is here. She had to be dumbo,how many more wives else do u have?
Ignoring the banter of my chatty brain,I decided to soak in her.I cursed my fate to finally caught a glance of her after 2 & a half day in my this terrible state.Already annoyed by the delay,I pushed myself to ask the haunting "how are you" but my paralysed mouth decided against it & I ended up staring back at her now 'a bit relieved' face.
She very slowly kept her elbow on my torso,dropping her chin on palms,raised her eyebrows.I frowned.
She repeated her previous action twice with a smile this time.I took a sec to frown,erase it & frown again making my frown count to twice just like hers.She chuckled shaking her head moving towards the bedside cabinet.
"So it took only a 10 years old kid to tame down The famous Dr.Ruhaan Mehra?"She goaded unabashedly.
Not being able to cope up with my own silence,I mumbled again
"You mean to ask- how are you feeling darling hubby,do you need anything?"and at once scrunched on how funny my voice sounded.
"Here have it,but slowly" she started moving the glass of water towards my lips with a worry.Dismayed at once again appearance of those lines on her beautiful face,I shook my head & whispered,"this is not what I need,come closer".Following my instructions with concern she inched nearer,"What is it Ruha-".Her words muffled against my lips,as I suprised,no scratch that,shocked her with a peck.
"Ruhaaaaan,what is this behavior,you just got up after almost 17hours,& you are already-"
I cut short her speech with my raspy coughs when I saw Niren entering the room with a file in hand.
"Rooh,can you hand that glass to me"I managed to speak in between,to which she huffed & rushed to make me take a sip.
