Virat
Why she had to ruin my life all the time I thought as I thrust my foot on the accelerator. Rima told me to slow down and I looked at her but her bruises made my foot thrust harder. The car was on top speed and it ended in a crash
Rima
The car did not bang straight, virat tried to steer out but the car lost control and banged on the wall horizontally,shattering the glass on virat's side. I cursed my luck, cause I got into trouble everytime. I did sprain my ankle and got a bit more cuts but I wasn't as hurt as he was. Not only physically but mentally too.
"keep your anger limited to the matches" I said to him in an irritated tone but instantly regreted it.I helped him out of the car and he leaned on it once we were out. Virat's right hand side shoulder was bleeding dampening his jacket's sleeve. He clung to his wound to stop the bleeding.I dragged him into the house.
Virat
I got a deep cut from the shattered glass. I held my my arm tight to stop the bleeding and she dragged me inside. I plopped down on the sofa still clinging to the wound while she switched the television for me and went to her room.
she came out with a first aid in her hand and disappeared back somewhere.did she leave me to mend my wounds myself?.she came back showing her wet hands to me and said"I ought to wash them to prevent infection".
I carefully took my jacket off. my black tee was almost stuck to the wound.she carefully rolled the sleeve upwards making sure not to hurt me more. she ran her fingers across my wound to check if any glass pieces were there and she found none. I could see worry clearly on her face and to console her I said that hurts were not new to me as it happened frequently in the matches.on hearing this she snapped her head up and almost yelled at me worriedly.
"In matches you can't help it, but today you could have avoided it, but no your anger was greater, you thrust your foot on the accelerator and bang, happy now"
"Rima look actua...."
"shut up, just shut up, look at your cut, how deep it is, thank god the matches are over"
I kept quite this time, I knew she was stubborn and there was no point in arguing with her, but I liked her worried shouts. Before I knew the wound was cleaned and nursed and a bandage was carefully wrapped around. I asked for a coffee but she denied.
"why can't I have a coffee"
"Cause virat it would keep you awake all night and you need rest"
"stop being my mom"I said lying on the sofa and switching through the channels when she came and switched off the television.
"I have to behave like that if you behave like kid, knowing not how to contol your anger" she said cross armed and glaring at me
She again disappeared into her room and came out with two pillows. One she adjusted under my wounded arm and second she gave it to me in case I needed more support. Before drifting completley off to sleep I saw her switching the lights off and wishing me a good night.
I woke up to the vibration of my alarm on the phone, which vibrated the table. Next I could feel Rima's fingers running through my hair. I realized my head was on her lap and she rested her head back on the sofa with her eyes closed. I don't know why but I wanted to freeze time there. Her caressing touch made my forget my worries I forgot all about the last night's incident and kept staring at her. My alarm buzzed off again...
I tried to get up, but she instantly applied pressure on my shoulders and said" no getting up before 10" she said with her eyes still closed
" and why so"
she Instantly opened her eyes, crossed her brows and glared at me
" have you lost all your senses virat, you are badly hurt and you can still think about getting up and doing some nonsense again."
" Is practising nonsense??"
She stood up and gently placed my head on the pillow and left for the kitchen saying
"yes it is especially when you are hurt, badly hurt"
Yes I was badly hurt, I could barely move my right hand due to the pain. I saw her limping a little, maybe she had hurt herself yesterday
Gayathri
Yesterday's stress was still on me, I was tired after dancing for so long. I got a job over here, that too in Rima's department. The difference will be that she will go forward with sports and I will manage politics.
I woke up and went to make some coffee for myself and Raina but he was nowhere to be seen. I held the coffee in my hand and went to the sofa, when I stopped, my face went pale, my hands went cold, My heartbeat became fast, and my cup dropped.
I turned and ran as fast as I could and I banged on something , rather someone.Raina. I saw him and hugged him tight. shivering with fright. He gently patted my back and stroked my hair and whispered" what happened"
I pointed at the sofa with a shaking finger still hugging him tight.
"Gayathri there is nothing here" He said the hundreth time
"No, it must be there"
"who"
I saw it again entering the kitchen now and screamed on top of my voice"in the kitchen", he rushed inside and came out laughing, laughing like a mad.
"what is so funny Raina"
"I can't believe you, you are scared of an innocent little COCKROACH??
"Innocent huh?"
"oh Gayathri, you are so cute" He said giving me another warm hug. Everytime he hugged me I felt as I was on the seventh heaven. I did fear the cockroach but thanked it mentally.
Raina has asked me to stay with him,until I get a house of my own. I never thought that this reunion will be the best part of my life.
Virat
She came out of the kitchen with some sandwiches while I got freshened up with much difficulty. My hand was still aching. The sandwiches looked so very delicious. She went to the table and got busy with articles, gosh could the articles leave her alone for atleat a day
"How should I eat" I cried out
"use our left hand" she said still engrossed in the article
"why don't you help me out" I said smiling wickedly
"you asked me not to behave like your mom"
I knew there was no point in fighting with her. I ate the sandwiches with much difficulty.She was continusly scribbling on papers, crushing them in disgust and throwing them everywhere. I continuosly stared at her, amused at evey action of hers, her anger, her irritation, her worries.her smiles were just so perfect. She looked up at me, looked straight into my eyes , crossed her brows and asked
"what?"
"when am I going to get discharged ma'am" I asked jokingly
She got up came towards me and hit my head playfully and said "as soon as your hurts are healed"
She got back to the table and started writting articles again. I lied down on the sofa changing channels on the T.V. Her article got over and she started going through the newspaper. While changing channels my eyes fell on an old football match which suddenly made me remind of the charity football matches coming in next 15 days, and I suddenly sat up, my shoulder hit the sofa, hard enough to bring back the pain. I let out a small inaudible"aah". but she seemed to hear it.
She ran and sat beside me, took shoulders into her palms and rubbed my wound gently.I could see that worried look of hers again.She looked at me and said " do you think it needs to be careful, only during a match to make sure you score without getting out? if so then drive that thought away."
"and have you taken a pledge to care about others only" i asked
"What are you speaking virat"
I cupped her bruised cheek and gently rubbed her bruises with my thumb"look, at these Rima". I saw her cheeks go red, she abruptly stood up and said "I think, I should fulfil your last night's wish of having coffee".and went to the kitchen.
Rima
His gentle touch, his concern, his enchanting eyes, his agression, his childish behaviour and his friendship captivates me like anything. Today also the same thing happened. I really am in grief when I see him hurt.
Raina
Matches turned out to be very well so no worries in chilling at home for a few days.We were getting bored so I turned the music on.I and Gayathri danced a lot. Suddenly a romantic nmber came up, and I held out my hand to Gayathri, she readily took it. I put her hand on my shoulder and placed my hand on her waist. Soon we lost ourselves into the rythm. She kept staring into my eyes and I into hers. We danced together for some 5 minutes when there was a knock at the door.
It was the pizza boy. None of us were in a mood to prepare food for ourselves due to the terrible tiredness, so we decded to order something instead. We plopped down on my sofa completely exhausted, and gobbled up our pizzas watching some random movie. I changed the channel to a horror movie, and hid the remote.
"Raina dear, its daylight, do you think I will get scared at this point of time?" she said sarcastically.I and she looked down simaltaneously, there was only one piece of pizza left, only one... We looked at each other. Before she could understand or react, I playfully took the pizza and ran around the room, she ran close behind me , chasing me all around the house, till we were exhausted and we plopped back on the sofa. I playfully leaned towards her, she got shocked and just froze.
"Raina wha..." before she could say something I thrust the piece into her mouth. laughing wildy while she kept glaring angrily on me.
Virat
"Rima I kow your ankle is hurt, it is infact swollen"I shouted at her the 10th time in last 120 seconds
"Get your eyes checked virat, I am completely alright" she yelled back stubornly at me.
she came back to take the coffee cups. I stood up and followed her. Telling her to stop roaming around with a hurt ankle, but everytime she denied that. While entering the kitchen her foot slipped on the doormat and she let out a shrill cry, I could have easily saved her from falling, but she pushed me aside and fell on the ground.
"why did the hell you do that, do you think I'll believe yo? I can cleary see your ankle swollen"
I held out my hand to help her stand, but she took the support of the wall instead.
"why don't you let me help you huh?"
She looked at me and smiled " Virat, you can help me anytime, but not now. If you would have caught me or if I would have taken your hand, it would have put pressure on your shoulders. And I know my ankle is sprained, but I dont want you to be stressed about anything. And moreover I am not a kid like you I can take care of myself"
"I not a kid okay"
"yeah virat I got the proof yesterday" She said applying some spray, then a bandage on her ankle. What could I do? I just stared at that innocent bruised face.
