"Shush! All I care about is I have you now", I whispered.
I then removed myself from his embrace and offered him his medicines. Just as I was offering him the glass of water, the whole world started spinning around me, the glass fell from my hand and soon I fell down as well. Unconscious.
Arjun's P.O.V.
I immediately got up from the bed, placing the medicines on the table and pressed the buzzer.
The door opened and the doctors rushed in and immediately looked at the unconscious body in my arms. The nurses helped the doctor to pick Anvi up and place her on my hospital bed. After assessing her body, he injected her and then attached the IV tube. The ward boy then rolled in a hospital bed in the room and shifted Anvi onto that bed.
"What happened to her?"
"It seems as if she hasn't been eating properly and her body isn't getting enough rest which is mandatory since it looks as if she's taking a lot of stress, it also seems as if the shards of glass have pierced her skin, I've stitched it, just rest for now, the both of you, and take these medicines, I'll have the housekeeping clean this mess", the doctor said and then left.
I quickly took my medicines and soon felt my eyelids getting heavy due to the heavy doze of pain killers. I lied down on the bed, turning in her direction as I stared at her and soon fell asleep.

Tanvi's P.O.V.
When I woke up, my head felt heavy. My eyes were a little fuzzy but after blinking several times my vision was clear. It was still dark outside as I glanced at the window. The room felt unfamiliar.
Why was I here? Arjun? And then I looked around and my eyes went on the IV tube in my hand and the bandage on my wrist.
I knew it. I knew Arjun wasn't really awake. It was the medicines. But how did I end up in the hospital? Maybe, it was Sanjay that brought me here. Maybe I had fainted while I attended the meeting. My mind was a little fuzzy.
Arjun really wasn't awake. My heart beat painfully as I thought about it. And here I was thinking that he was awake. I looked around the room and realised that I was sharing the room with a patient. The curtains were drawn around the bed.
I looked at the clock and it read 3:30. Just why did I wake up at this ungodly hour. I felt tears prick in my eyes. My head hurt, my hands hurt, my heart hurt. All this while it was just my mind playing a game with me. I was hallucinating but it felt so real, Arjun hugging me and talking to me. It felt so real.
I let out an groan, irritated at how I let myself be fooled by my mind. I sat up staring blankly at the wall and fished out my phone from the stand near by. Sadly, it turned out to be his phone. I stared blankly at the phone, tears pricking in my eyes.
"I knew it was all my mind playing a game with me", I said out loud as I started crying softly so that I wouldn't wake the other person awake.
"Of course, how would you be awake in just one week, you're not some superhero, it would obviously take time for you to recover", I mumbled as I looked at the phone. I heard the curtains open but I couldn't careless, all I did was stare at the phone.
"What if I am a superhero?", a voice said.
"Shut up", I mumbled as I continued looking at the phone, not really paying attention to the voice. A finger touched my chin and lifted it up.
"What happened baby?", Asked Arjun?
"Look at that, I'm hallucinating again, first it was the cars and now in this hospital room", at this the hallucination started chuckling.
"You're not hallucinating, baby",he said as he cradled my cheek with his left hand.
"Oh", I managed to say.
"You thought it was all just your mind playing games with you?", He asked. I just nodded my head as my eyes turned glossy.
"Oh baby, I didn't know it was so bad", he said as he pulled me into a hug.
"What happened to me? What's this bandage and this IV tube for?"
"You fainted, your hand came in contact with the glass pieces that broke"
"Oh"
"It's not the time for oh", he said as he narrowed his eyes at me.
"What did I do now?"
"You know why you fainted? I'm sure you don't, oh wait I think you might know it because you weren't eating or sleeping now were you?"
"Arjun I-"
"Not eating? Not sleeping? What were you thinking? How could you be so careless?"
"Well I'm sorry, ok? I'm sorry", I yelled," I'm sorry I couldn't sleep without having nightmares, I'm sorry I couldn't eat because you were here in the hospital, I'm sorry if the person I love is here in the hospital, alive but not alive, how can you expect me to act like a normal human being when the person I love is here on the hospital bed, not responding to what I say?", He looked shocked as he stared at me. Speechless.
"That still doesn't give you the right to not eat and sleep!"
"Fine, I'll go in coma for some time and then let's see how you behave!"
"Don't talk about death like that, I can't lose you"
"Why? I'm sure you'll eat and sleep then, now won't you?"
"Don't turn this on me Tanvi"
"Why Arjun? Why shouldn't I? I'm sure you would've done what I did, if not, let me go out and meet with an accident"
"No! You're not going anywhere, and don't talk like that", he pleaded.
"You don't want me to turn the tables around, you don't want me to talk like that, then I think I'll tell you what I was thinking when I wasn't eating or sleeping. Everytime I was forced to eat, I only thought about how you fed me when I wasn't willing to eat, it reminded me of you. Everytime I slept, I missed your arms around me. Why I did what I did? Because a part of me was angry at myself and was punishing myself for not confessing my feelings to you, I heard the recording, a 100 times and it gave me hope, it was just a small amount but it gave me hope.
"Now that I have you with me, I'll tell you, I love you Arjun, I've loved you for a really long time, I've loved you since before I was told to leave London, I hid my feelings for a long time, I was punished once for four years, I was punished once again and the guilt just kept nagging, I don't want the guilt anymore, I love you Arjun, I'm in love with you", I said as tears fell from my eyes and I started crying.
It was a sight to see, the girl who just confessed was crying.
"Anvi", he whispered softly as he lifted my chin and wiped the tears away.
"I'm sorry for being irrational, I would've done the same thing it's just I... You just fainted and I..", he trailed away not knowing what to say.
"Oh and baby"
"Hmm?"
"I love you too", he said and pecked my lips and hugged me closer to his body.
"I know", I sniffled as I hugged him back.
"Baby, what if I would've died?"
"Don't talk like that", I cried out as I started hitting his chest.
"Ow! Ow! Baby it hurts"
"I don't care, this is what you get for talking about death so casually"
"I'm sorry!", He cried out as he held both of my hands in his.
He then adjust us so we were in a sleeping position with my head on his chest.
"I love you", he said as he kissed my forehead.
"I love you too", I mumbled.
"Good night baby"
"What if mom sees us? In a hospital bed?"
"Babe, we're just sleeping you know", he joked.
"I know but still!"
"Well she's just gonna think that we're just a cute couple"
"But-"
"Sleep Tanvi, you need it"
"Good night Arjun", I said as I wrapped one of my arms around his waist.

Even though I'm happy I was able to update because a supposed "cute kid" wanted me to update. I honestly hope you all enjoyed the update.
I'm deeply saddened by the fact that Irrfan khan has passed away. It legit breaks my heart. He was such a good actor.
He once said "What hurts the most is not having a moment to say goodbye" and now we know what it means. 💔
Today I'm not going to post anything else.
He will forever be missed.
Love,
D❤️
