Talk

Pin's POV:
I looked at the person who was now worried for me just after hearing me call him. "Err... Son, I just need help getting back to bed. I am not able to walk properly." I replied. I can see him getting relaxed and the next second he scooped me up in his arms making me get stunned.

"Son!! What are you doing?" I asked in panic. "Helping you get to bed. With that leg of yours I don't think you will be be able to walk properly. And I don't want you hurting yourself." He replied.

I sighed and let him carry me back to bed. I was a bit embarassed now but there was no other way since I was still not feeling well. He gently placed me on bed and moved to cover me with duvet. "Do you need anything?" He questioned.

"No.... I-I am fine...." I replied while looking down at my hands. Was I totally wrong in understanding him??

He didn't say anything further and turned around, walking in the direction of the door. I have never ever seen him being this silent and unknowingly, it started to kill me from inside. Was I the reason for him going this quiet?? The Son I knew never left any opportunity to flirt with me and now, he is being distant. I can still see the same concern and care for me in his eyes but he stopped showing his emotions openly.

"Son....." I called out. I was feeling guilty for having being rude to him all the time. He stopped and turned around to look at me. "Yes?? Do you need anything?" He asked.

I was left short of words. What should I say?? But I atleast need to say something. "Son, c-can I speak to you?" I asked in low voice.

I can see his face fell while he looked at me. Was he that sad to even have a talk with me?? "Pin, you need to rest. I don't want doctor to scold you." He replied. Was he avoiding speaking to me??

He didn't wait for my answer and began to walk towards the door. "Son, I am sorry....." I finally let out. He froze in his track. I closed my eyes while trying to compose myself. My heart was beating messily and my thoughts were haywire.

Was it too late to apologise?? Have I pushed him that far that he don't want to talk to me?? Have I been that rude to him that he started to be silent?? Where was that lively Son that always liked to greet me, trouble me, tease me, flirt with me??

I didn't dare to open my eyes. I wouldn't be able to take that hurt in his eyes. I wouldn't be able to tolerate to see his cold self. I don't want to witness the cold side.

I was scared to open my eyes and look at him. I know I have ruined everything now. He had been always considerate of me, always made efforts to talk to me, always liked being with me but now, he was running away from me. And it was hurting like shit.

I waited to hear the sound of door being closed but then, I felt a light touch on my hands as they were being pulled away. I didn't dare open my eyes. "Pin, can you please open your eyes and look at me?" Son's voice sounded so close. I immediately opened my eyes to see him sitting in front of me with a soft expression on his face.

Tears began to roll down my cheeks as I looked at him. He slowly began to wipe off the tears that were rolling down my cheeks. "Why are you crying?" He asked. "B-because, I hurt you." I replied while sniffing.

"If you have hurt me, shouldn't I be the one crying?" He asked while still continuing to wipe my tears. "I-I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you... I-I...." I wasn't even able to speak and kept crying.

"Sssshhhh... Calm down... It's alright..." He said while gently cupping my cheeks and making me look at him. "Pin, I love you and that will never change. I know you need time and I am ready to wait. But please don't do anything like this ever again. And you didn't hurt me. I know there will be some reason for the way you behaved and you can tell me about it when you are ready. I won't force you." He said.
