A Little Too Caring

--

"

I don't understand- if you can't walk, why do you even try to?!"

"What do you mean?" Annika shouted. She had barely just tripped over her Chameli, and Shivaay was upon her like a hound. Shouldn't try to walk? Was he dumb or what!.

"I mean what I said," He said, bending down on one knee to take a look at her foot. "Now tell me, where is it hurting?"

"It's not," Annika replied, taken aback by his concern. Ignoring her, Shivaay took out a tube of pain-relief cream from his suit pocket and started applying it on her ankle. Annika gasped and tried to move away, only to back into the wall.

"I keep this on me all the time because you keep on hurting yourself every other minute," Shivaay said nonchalantly while applying the medicine with care. Once done, he stood up. 

"Take it slow, will you?" He asked her softly. "My wedding is still a while away, there's no hurry."

The mention of his wedding brought Annika back from the La-la land she had entered into, and she nodded hurriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," She assured him, before walking away quickly.

Shivaay sighed as he watched her walk away. Keeping the cream securely in his pocket lest she need it again soon, he too walked away.
