'Hey it's Okay.... I think we should see a doctor first....' Aayan says holding Ananya properly in his arms
Ananya pulls away, looking at him and for the first time their eyes met
Aayan felt this strange pull towards her dark brown orbs, he was speechless, he wanted to look away, he was getting uncomfortable but somehow he cannot...
Ananya was staring at his hazel green eyes, it was the first time she noticed that his eye color was different, she didn't want to look away, his eyes were so captivating....
Wow his eyes are attractive... She thought..
They don't know how long they were staring, Deepika intentionally coughed to break their reverie
'Shall we take her to hospital...?' She said smiling slyly at both of them
'Yeah...!' Aayan quickly looks away, clearing his throat and begin walking holding Ananya in his arms..
Ananya didn't look away, it looked like she was in a trance or something...
'I'll follow you guys in my scooter, see you in the hospital... ' Deepika says as Aayan places Ananya on the car's passenger seat carefully...
Aayan was so restless, that he thought, he cannot drive properly with Ananya around..
'Do you know how to drive a four wheeler...?' He asks Deepika
'Yeah... ' Deepika replied
'Take her to the hospital then, I'll get your scooter there, it needs repairing as well...' he says
'But... ' Deeps tried to argue
'Please, I insist...' Aayan sort of pleaded
'Yeah okay, see you... ' Deepika says and Aayan gives her the keys
Ananya was awfully silent during all this...
She appeared to be in a deep thought..
She didn't even notice that the drivers have swapped their vehicles and Deepika is driving her to the hospital instead of Aayan...
The car's engine roared breaking her trance, Deepika looked at the dashboard in awe...
'I love this car !' she exclaimed
'What are you doing here...?' Ananya asks
'Disappointed...?' Deepika smirks
'Shut up...!' Ananya said frowning
'Your Aayan asked me to drive you to the hospital, he will take my scooter to garage and meet us there... ' Deeps said
'Okay... ' Ananya sighed, she cannot thing about anything else, but Aayan's eyes...
She looked out of the car's window, staring at nothing, while Deepika was enjoying her new ride...
'This baby is awesome... Your Aayan has great taste in cars, I must say... ' Deeps said after sometime...
'He is not 'My' Aayan... ' Ananya replied
'Of course he isn't... ' Deepika chuckles
'Hmm... ' Ananya didn't argue further which surprised Deepika
She decided to tease her further...
'You know you guys were staring at each other for more than a minute, completely lost in each other...' Deeps smirked
'Really...?' Ananya replied uninterested, of course she knows she was staring him for longer time, afterall she cannot concentrate on anything else now because of that..
'Yeah...So tell me Ananya how were his eyes...?'
Ananya doesn't reply anything at this..
Deepika got suspicious, but still continued...
'Captivating...? Mesmerising....?'
'Painful... ' Ananya said without looking at her..
'What...!' Deepika stares at her shocked
'Uh.. Nothing... ' Ananya says and rest of the drive is silent...
In the hospital
Deepika and Ananya were sitting in the waiting area, waiting for their turn..
Ananya's phone was ringing continuously, as Arjun was worried on the other side, Deepika takes her phone from her hands...
'Don't worry, I won't tell him anything... ' she assured and walked outside...
Ananya was getting irritated as she is not habitual of waiting for anything, her father would readily get her anything she wanted...
'Why is it taking so much time...?' She says loudly and other patients stare at her..
'Ma'am this is a hospital, please keep your tone low... ' A nurse says politely
'I need to see the doctor now, I am hurt... ' she points at her leg..
Nurse examines her leg and smiles
'It's not an emergency case Ma'am, you can wait for the doctor, you will be seeing him after this gentleman... ' she points at the elderly man on the wheelchair..
'I want to see the doctor right now....!' Ananya huffs
'You have to wait... ' Nurse says
'Do you know who you are talking to ?' Ananya says in her classic arrogant tone
'Sorry...?' Nurse enquires confused
'I am Ananya Tha.... ' She began
'It doesn't matter who she is, she will wait for her turn, you may leave, Thank you... ' Aayan cuts her off and says to the nurse...
Nurse smiles and leaves
Ananya turns to him to say something, but again becomes speechless seeing his eyes
'You should not use your Father's influence for these petty issues... ' Aayan scolds her
'I... I Don't like to wait....' Ananya says looking away
'Then learn... ' Aayan huffs and Ananya gets angry
'Listen you !' she begins
'You listen to me ! Princess, your father may own half of the city, no one cares ! That old man there needs doctors attention more than you, you just have a sprain or something, but he is on a wheelchair ! Learn to think about others..! I wonder how are you Naina Mom's daughter...' he said disgusted
'Excuse me ! How dare you... ' Ananya yells and Aayan covers her mouth, the receptionist sushes them
'This is a hospital, not your kingdom Princess... ' Aayan whispers
Ananya pushes his hand away, and glares at him
'No one can call me Princess, except my parents ! Especially a person like you, should never address me with that endearment.... ' Ananya whisper yells
'Oohhh believe me, I Don't want to address you with anything... If I can, I will deport you to a deserted island from where you can never return... ' Aayan matches her tone
'Is this a way you talk to an injured person... ' Ananya counters
'You are not injured in a battlefield alright, you just fell of the scooter, because of your stupidity... ' Aayan shot back..
'It was because of you...! I am hurt now, see, all because of you....!' she angrily pokes her index finger on his chest
'Let's see how hurt you are...!' Aayan smirks and moves towards her legs
'Don't you dare... ' Ananya warns
He softly hits her leg and she yelps in pain...
'Don't do that... ' Ananya cries
'Drama....' Aayan rolls his eyes
This time he hits with slight more force and she yells this time..
'Somebody save me from this MAD MAN PLEASE....!!!' she cries and Aayan smirks
The nurse rushes towards them..
'It's your turn Ma'am... ' she says
'How will I stand up, get me a wheelchair... ' Ananya orders her
'You can stand alright, stop that Drama.... ' Aayan huffs
Ananya glares at him, and tries to stand, but couldn't as her left leg hurt badly, she loses her balance and fells on the ground...
'Owww... Mumma... ' she cries
'Shitt... ' Aayan mutters
'Ma'am are you okay... ' Nurse rushes towards her
Aayan helps her to stand and she clutches his shirt tightly, almost sobbing..
'Karan, get a wheelchair here fast...!' Nurse orders the staff
'Are you Mad, why did you stand, I was just teasing you... ' Aayan says holding her by her waist and she wrapped her hands around his torso
'Shut up... ' She sobs and clutches his shirt tightly
Deepika walks towards them..
'I told uncle we'll be... ' she said but stopped mid way, seeing Ananya cry..
'Oh My God !! What happened... ' she asked panicking
'Later... ' Aayan mutters and makes her sit on the wheelchair and take her to the doctor's room immediately..
Thapar's residence
Arjun was walking to and fro in the hall, occasionally glancing at the clock
'Relax Bhai, she will be back soon... ' Adi says
'It's already 10 Sash...! She is never this late... ' Arjun says worriedly
'I am Adi btw, *sash chuckles at this* and Don't worry, you've talked to Deepika right... They'll come in a while... ' Adi says
'I won't relax, unless I see my girl in front of me, safe and sound.. ' Arjun says and starts walking again
'Ved, do you have any idea, where Aayan is... Wooaahhh... What happened old Man... ' Jai walks in the room using his stick, and chuckles seeing Arjun walking like a mad man
'Ananya didn't come back... And you are saying even Aayan isn't at home...? Where are they...?' Arjun gets anxious now
'What..! Is she okay... I mean... Did you talk to her...?' Jai says worriedly
'Relax both of you... They'll be fine.. ' Naina hands them their glasses of milk
'I am not a kid to drink this... ' Arjun argues..
'Don't argue... ' Naina counters and Arjun sighs
'Did they go out together...?' Naina asks
'Ananya Di and Aayan Bhai, together at one place, god bless that place... ' Rudra jokes earning a glare from his father...
'No... ' he quickly says and hides his face behind the magazine
The bell rings and Arjun quickly placing his glass on the table, runs towards the door...
He opens the door and sees a whistling Vansh, playing with his car keys, his messy hair and jacket hung over his shoulder...
Vansh panics seeing his father and the key he was playing with falls from his hands...
'Mummy....!!!' He panics and Arjun glares at him
'I Mean Papa ! You are awake at this time...? I mean... You didn't.... ' Vansh stammers
'Is a time to return...? And look at your condition...! Where are you coming from...! Some fish market or some forest....!' Arjun scolds him
'Wo.. Papa... We had a party, so... I told Maa about it... ' Vansh replies in haste
Arjun turns to Naina, who questioningly looks at Vansh, Vansh folds his palms and begs her to save him, while Ved chuckles, earning a smack from his brother...
'Yeah... Yeah... He told me about it...you are back early... Was it boring...?' Naina asks Vansh not looking at Arjun
Arjun narrows his eyes at both of them..
'Let my daughter come, I'll deal with you later... ' he threatens Vansh
'Wait !! Annie isn't home...!! Should I go look for her Maa...?' he asks Naina
'No need beta, Your Papa called Deepika, she said they are on the way... ' Naina replied
'She said that, like 45 minutes ago... ' Arjun says
'Hope my princess is okay... ' he sighs
'She will be, relax Dad... ' Vansh says and Arjun nods
'Please someone call Aayan....' Jai says worriedly
'I'll do that... ' Ved says and takes out his phone
'No need Dad, we are here.... ' Aayan calls and all of them turn towards him, and get shocked seeing Ananya in his arms
Arjun panics and runs towards him
'What... What happened, why are you carrying her...? Why this bandage...? How did this happen...? Who did this...! Ananya ! Are you okay beta...?' Arjun says and Aayan tries to calm him down
'What happened Princess...?' Naina panicked
'Yeah, Aayan, where did you find her...!' Jai says standing with Rudra's help
'Who did this...?' Adi asks
'Guys let him come inside... ' Sash says
And they clear his way
Aayan places Ananya on the sofa and Arjun sits beside her, holding her hands
'She had an accident, for which I am partly responsible... ' Aayan says
'What...!' Naina and Jai said
'How...?' Vansh asks controlling his anger
'Stop acting reverent, it doesn't suit you... ' Ananya huffs and Aayan glares at her...
They all look at her confused
'Shut up... I am trying to save.... ' Aayan said
'No need ! I am not a scaredy cat, who fears scolding... If I did wrong, I will face it's consequences.... ' Ananya shot back
'Your Wish... ' Aayan gives up taking his seat...
'What's going on...?' Ved asks
'Bhai, I fell off Deepika's scooty while I was learning how to ride it, because I panicked seeing his car's headlights.... He has nothing to do with that... ' Ananya says
'Is that true Aayan...?' Ved asks
Aayan nods
'Why do you want to learn driving anyway.... ' Arjun says caressing her hair
'What kind of question is that, she can't be dependent on you or her brothers or after few years her husband to go anywhere she wants... ' Naina says
'She will always have my support, no matter what... ' Arjun counters, holding Ananya protectively
'Don't start both of you...!' Sash says and turns to Aayan
'What did the doctor say...?' he asks
'It's just a sprain Chachu, but he advised not to pressure her injured leg at all, or else it will take time to recover.... ' Aayan says
'It means Annie can't walk for some days... ??' Ved asks
'Weeks actually... ' Aayan said
'Why do you do such things princess...? See what happened, how will you walk now... ' Arjun says
'I am okay Paa... See... ' Ananya tried to stand
'Don't stand... ' Aayan and Naina say together and Ananya stops mid way and sits back on the sofa...
'I'll take Annie to her room...' Vansh says and moves forward to pick her up
'Naina please send her dinner to her room, I'll feed her myself... ' Arjun smiles
'Yeeaahh... ' Ananya cheers and they chuckle
Soon everyone departs to their room..
Aayan helps Jai to lie on his bed..
'Are you Okay son.. Did you get hurt...? 'he asks
'I am alright Dad, don't worry about me... ' Aayan says covering him with quilt, trying to make him comfortable
There was prolonged silence...
'Will you ever forgive me son...?' Jai asks
Aayan stops his work and looks at Jai who is teary eyed
'Good night Dad... ' He caresses Jai's forehead and leaves the room, closing the door behind him, he leans against it, tears roll down his eyes
Will I ??
