27. Wounded

"I'll call and see." I called him but he didn't pick up. May be he is on his way back. I settled on the bed with head on the headrest only to fall asleep unknowingly.

The wind might be too harsh which resulted the window door to bang loudly and breaking of my sleep.

I wonder what time it is. A glance was enough for my sleep to flow away. Seriously it's already 10?

"Manik abhi tak aaye nahi?" I got worried seeing there is no trance of Manik. He never gets this late. I decided to see out if he is coming. I locked the door and moved out to see around but no trance of him. Sighing I waited there pacing around for may be more than 20-25 minutes.

I heard someone's steps only to see my own husband limping and wounded. Shit! Is he fine. Tears started forming in my eyes seeing his arm badly hurt.

I ran towards him and held him and repeatedly asked him.

"What happened? Aapko itni chhot kaise aayi? Aap kya kar rahe the aata vakt? Dhyan nahi rakh sakte the? Aap bol kyun nahi rahe ho?"

"Tum chup rahogi tab bol paunga na. Atleast ghar ke andar chalo, yahan drama nahi create karna mujhe." He said making me glare at him. Helping him I opened the door and entered inside the house.

I immediately made him sit on the chair and ran to get first aid. When I came back I saw him in vest the shirt was discarded on the floor.

"Kaise hua yeh? Slow gari nahi chala sakte the kya aap? What if something big incident would have happened? Aap ko khud ki fikar nahi hai kya?" I asked seeing his wounded arm and applying the ointment.

"Meri maa, theek hu main. Sirf scratched aaye hai yrr. Kyun baat ka batangad bana rahi ho?" Seriously? I looked up at him in serious look where as he was trying to smile slightly.

He cupped my face and said "Theek hun main. It's just that turn pe ek kutta aa gaya tha so I lost the control. Aur ganga jamuna bahana band karo. Mara nahi hun main."

I glared at him and threw the cotton ball after applying the medicine. Without saying anything I went into the kitchen.

"Seriously? Ek toh ghar late aaye woh bhi with wounds. He doesn't understand that there is no one here who would take care of him or mr other than us. Main hi pagal thi jo inka intezar kar rahi thi. Is he even bothered agar kal ko kuch ho gaya toh mera kya hoga?" Stupid! Stupid! This tears are stupid that they are crying for someone who doesn't care that his wife is worried.

I made the food hot by this time only to feel his presence in the kitchen. I didn't turn, why should I? Huh!

"Nandini baba, kuch nahi hua hai. Theek ho jaunga 4-5 dino mein. Kyun itna tension le rahi ho?"

I simply glared at him and these stupid tears are betraying me by flowing infront of him. He probably got worried as his eyes spoke alot.

"Hey! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you baba. I'll be fine. Relax." He wrapped his arms around me only for to cry all the more. I myself don't know why I'm crying so much.

Nandini's parents house
After few days

"Navya tune sab kuch rakh liya hai na?" The mother asked her bhulakkad daughter.

"Haan maa, kitni baar puchoge. Aur vaise bhi main kuch hi dino ke liye jaa rahi hun aur na ki ek mahina bhar ke liye." Her mother sighed at Navya's words.
