"How-how are you feeling, Sidharth ?" Shehnaaz asked finally looking at Sidharth who was already staring at her beautiful face. He was completely lost in looking at her. Her eyes became red, they were vividly telling him that she had cried a lot for him. Her words brought him on the earth back.

"I am fine." As he replied, she gave him a faint smile.

"You are the reason that I am feeling better, Shehnaaz. You touched my soul with those kisses. You healed my every wound with those kisses. I am feeling better." He wondered, gazing at her. These were the words which he wanted to say to her at that moment but he couldn't. Through his eyes, he was thanking her for making him fine.

She was avoiding eye contact with him because she didn't want to get lost in his eyes. She was afraid of what would happen if he saw love in her eyes. Therefore, she was looking around, playing with her fingers.

Sidharth was noticing her every move, the moment of her eyes and hands. He could vividly see that she was trying to control herself from looking at him. He very well knew about this because he used to do the same thing many times.

"You can go now." The nurse spoke walking into the ICU, catching their attention. They both looked at her. Shehnaaz stood up from the stool and gave a slight nod to her. He felt a sharp pain in his heart. He wanted her to stay with him. He was feeling better in her presence.

Shehnaaz glanced at Sidharth for the last time and gave him faint smile. Sidharth also smiled back faintly in response.

"Take care, Sidharth." She strolled toward the door. His heart was aching watching her going away from him. He wanted to hold her hand and wanted to ask her to don't go. Even she also wanted to stay with him.

But the situation wasn't letting them stay with each other.

After a few hours, Sidharth was shifted to the private wardroom where anybody could meet him. The doctor told them that he would be discharged within a few days. He needed somebody to be with him for twenty-four hours because he couldn't even move for a few days. His one leg and one arm were fractured.

"I think you both should go the home and take some sleep. Mukti and me, we both will stay here tonight."Cabir asked Shivansh and Shehnaaz to go back home. They all were sitting outside of the wardroom and Mukti was inside with Sidharth.

"No, I will stay with Sidharth tonight. Aren't you seeing his condition? He can't even move. How can I go home and sleep comfortably?" Shivansh freaked out making Cabir quiet. Shehnaaz put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down. Shivansh gave helpless looks to her and she blinked her eyes in assurance.

"Cabir, you and Mukti go home tonight. I will stay here with Shivansh." Shehnaaz spoke looking at Cabir.

"Shehnaaz, you should go home. You must be tired. You are here since morning." Shivansh asked Shehnaaz to go home. How could she tell him that she didn't want to go home, she wanted to stay with him and take care of him.

"But," she paused for a moment to think for a reason.

"I want to stay here with you, Shivansh. Please," She requested because she really wanted to stay here with Sidharth.



Shivansh didn't force her, he just nodded his head. "Okay." Shehnaaz sighed.

Shivansh got up and went inside the room after leaving Shehnaaz and Cabir.

"Your husband is so stubborn, Shehnaaz." Cabir spoke looking at Shehnaaz. Shehnaaz just gave him a faint smile.
