"Hey...how are you feeling now?Is Vivian there with you?".Anjali uttered over the phone.The first thing she did after freshening up in the morning was calling Tia in the hospital.

"You are such a darling Anjali..Thanks for saving me.I heard what you did.Trust me! You are a gem of a person.".Tia was grateful.She added "And Yes Vivian is here..He has been awake all night..worried but excited about the baby.He will be staying here for the next few days."

"You are being discharged today?".

"Right...Wait!The doctors are here.Will catch up with you later.Take care Anjali.",she kept the phone down.

Anjali was wondering what to do the whole day.Sure she was not going to the office in those bandages.But she was unable to anything conveniently.The bell rung and she walked to open it.

Aaryan was standing outside when she pulled the door apart.He was wearing a polo shirt and cargo pants.She had never seen him in casuals so was a little startled."Sir you are not going to office today?"She asked instantly.

"Ask me in Anjie..Won't you?"

"Yeah ...Ofcourse."Anjali sputtered ,then moved aside to let him inside.

"Umm..I have got breakfast for you.I suppose you like noodles.Isn't it?",he offered.

"But..Sir its okay.I could have managed."Anjali was genuinely surprised.

"How?I see you havn't even changed your clothes since yesterday.Go and change while I serve."

Anjali looked at him helplessly."What?".He raised his eyebrows.Obviously Anjali couldn't tell him her problem.Even she didn't fancy wearing those blood stained clothes but after failing in the numerous attempts to try to open the zip of the dress,she had given up.Whenever she moved her shoulder it hurt so much,it felt like the wounds would bleed open.It was a handicap she really hated.

"You are okay?",he asked,his voice turning grave.Anjali nodded her head."I will change later",she said."The food's getting cold,Lets have breakfast.I will get you plates.".She smiled trying to gain the control of the situation.

AnJali carried herself to sit at the opposite end of the dining table where he served her with the noodles.

She tried to eat it but her right hand didn't allow that much of movement without aching.Next she attempted to eat with the other hand.Aaryan saw her struggling with the food and how she kept up the fight,he soon understood why she hadn't changed.She couln't move her hands properly and she needed help,though she wouldn't say it ever.It was a prestige issue.She had this infirmity,never could she ask for anything.He didn't used to believe such egoistic girls even existed.But yes..now he had met one.Anjali.He mentally decided to send a maid for her.

"May I help!",Aaryan asked.

"No.thanks."

Aaryan pulled his chair closer to hers and snatched the fork from her.

"C'mon,open your mouth..Aaaa."

"You think that I am a kid?".Anjali rolled her eyes.

"No..You are a PowerPuff girl."

Anjali couldn't help laughing."You are so fascinated with these things right?Spiderman,woman of steel and now a powerpuff girl..wow really like what tittles I am getting.You are such a cartoon maniac".She continued laughing.

"Spiderman,superman...these are not cartoons.They are Superheros".

"I used to see them on cartoon network... So They are all cartoons.",Anjali debated.

"Don't tell me you have seen only the animated versions. ..There are movies,with great actors,action..."

"Yeah..Ofcourse I know there are movies...a series of movies related to each one of them.But..they are no less than cartoons.",Anjali remarked
