Part 3 of Meeting The Psychiatrist

It's been two weeks since first session..

In between this time.. There were three sessions.. And Bucky responded well..

He always tried to remember things..
That's the best thing about him.. That's what Ahana liked most..
He cooperated with them . . As much he could..

Bucky opened up a little more to her.. He started trusting her.. And started talking freely around.. Even when Steve wasn't around in the last session..

Today was the date for fourth session.. But Ahana wasn't feeling well. . She had severe Headache and fever..

And living alone wasn't helping her either..

She picked up her phone.. And called Bucky.. His phone switched off

So she dialed Steve's number

" Hi.. Miss. Mathur.. " Steve picked up the phone..

" Hello Mr Rogers.. Actually I called to inform that I have postponed today's session.. I am pretty sick.. Having a bad headache and fever too.. So.. I am on sick leave " She said with her .. Her voice was heavy due to headache

" Yeah. You sound sick too... How did this happened..? " Steve asked

" I have bad dust allergy .. And I happened to be in dust for a long time.. It started with runny nose was now I am mess.. " Ahana chuckled

" It's okay.. Take care of yourself.. I will inform this Bucky.. " Steve said

" Thank you so much.. " Ahana said and they hung up..

...........................

Steve went to Bucky's room and saw him reading some book..

" What's wrong with your phone?? " Steve asked

" Yeah it's dead.. I have put it on charge.. What happened?? " Bucky asked

" Ahana was calling you... She called of today's session.. " Bucky interrupted in between

" Why?? " He asked .. His voice held disappointment..

" Let me finish.. She is very sick.. Headache and high fever.. So yeah.. " Steve said.. He smirked looking at Bucky's disappointed face..

He knew Bucky started liking the session.. But he quite sure that.. Bucky not only liked the Sessions but also Miss Mathur..
He saw that sparkle.. That old little sparkle in his friend's eyes..

" Maybe you should go and meet her.. You look very disappointed..seems like you're dying to see her " Steve teased

" Ohh come on.. I am just sad to know she is sick.. It's a normal thing.. " Bucky said looking sideways..

" Typical Bucky! " Steve thought..

" Okay .. As you wish.. I was just saying.. " Steve smirked and left the room.. He knew Bucky will definitely go to meet her..

.........................

Ahana was sleeping.. She suddenly woke up with a jolt..
She felt a sudden urge to have some coffee.. She dragged herself out of the bed and went to kitchen to make some coffee..

" Life would have been so better.. If I had someone to make me some coffee when I am sick!! " Ahana thought.. And started laughing at her own stupid thought..

Suddenly.. Picture of Mr. Barnes.. Flashed through her mind.. Like him making coffee for her.. Tucking her in blanket..
Ahana shook her head vigorously..
" Ohh God.. Ahana.. What are thinking.. You're definitely not in your sane mind.. He is your patient.. You can't think like this!! " She scolded herself..

Though she would never accept.. But she knew..She was a little emotionally attached to him.. His story Intrigued her... She soo wanted to take away all his pain..

......................

Bucky quickly dried himself off after taking a shower.. He changed himself into a black quarter sleeve shirt and blue jeans.. He was about the leave when Steve called him..

" Where are you going?? " He asked with a small smile.. He knew the answer..

" Just for a stroll.. " He said casually..

" You sure?? " Steve asked

" Yeah.. I was just bored.. So just going for a stroll .. " Bucky said

" Okay.. Bye.. Hope your stroll through the lanes will be interesting .. " Steve chuckled..

.........................

Ahana was on her couch.. Blanket all over her body.. She was watching some movie on TV.. Suddenly her door bell rang..

She was quite sure that it was the food delivery boy so she didn't bothered about changing her clothes..

She was grey baggy sweatshirt and grey shorts..

Her jaw dropped after opening door.. It was Mr Barnes..
Till now she wasn't really conscious about her appearance.. But the Guest made her very conscious..
Her nose bloated.. Nose red..
Her hair was open.. Messy.. Her clothes well.. Too lose
" Shit... I am not wearing a bra!! Ohh God.. " She mentally cursed herself..

" Hey.. Mr. Barnes.. " She smiled at him

" Hi.. Umm.. Steve told me that you are sick so I just came to see you.. " He said hesitantly.. Wasn't really sure if this decision was good..

" That's soo sweet of you.. Please come.. " Ahana said letting him come inside..

" No no.. I will go now.. I don't to bother you.. " He smiled at her..

" Ohh come on.. Don't be soo formal.. Come inside.. " Ahana smiled at him.. That smile.. That made Bucky's heart flutter..

Even though she was an absolute mess.. Bucky felt like she is the cutest person alive.. That red nose made her cuter.. And unknowingly that made Bucky want to kiss her right there..

" So how are you now?? " He asked as he sat on a chair..

" Better.. I had some medicines.. Still had the headache.. Fever is a bit down.. " She said rubbing her with a tissue..

" Why don't call someone who can stay with you for a day or two.. Till you get better.. " Bucky suggested..

" Well my relatives aren't here... My best friend is a doctor too.. And other than that.. I don't want to bother people too much.. " Ahana smiled sheepishly..

" How do handle so much alone?? " Bucky asked .. He wanted to stay and take care of her.. But he knew that's way too much.. And out of his territory..

" Well.. I am habituated now.. " Ahana smiled..

In the mean time her door bell rang again..
" Hey.. Andrew! " She smiled

" I just came to check on you " He said coming inside..

He saw Bucky sitting on the couch..
" Okay so He is James Buchanan Barnes.. My patient.. And Mr. Barnes he is Andrew.. My neighbour " Ahana said..

" How are you now?? " Andrew asked

" Better.. " She smiled

Andrew smiled and gave a small kiss on her hair..
" Call me if you need anything.. " He said and left after giving her a hug..

Bucky felt a pang in his chest..

Ahana came back and covered herself with a blanket..

" So.. Umm.. Is he your boyfriend??" He asked trying to sound as calm as possible

" No.. No.. He is just a good friend.. He is already in a relationship.. It's like we moved in almost time.. So we know since long.. " Ahana chuckled..

" Oh.. " Bucky was a but relived..

" Well.. As we know you were quite a ladies' man back then.. So tell me.. Something about your love life.. Like girlfriend.. " Ahana asked grinning widely..

" Am I in a session right now?? " Bucky asked.. Ahana giggled softly at his question... Which made his heart skip a beat..

" Well kinda.. Like since you're hear.. We can conduct a light hearted session " Ahana explained him

" Well.. Um.. I was.. I was quite good at flirting.. But I didn't have a girlfriend.. Yeah.. I.. I.. Went for date with a lot of girl.. But .. No I was never in a commuted relationship.. " Bucky slowly said.. He was trying think deep..

" Well.. That's interesting.. Why weren't you in relationship?? " Ahana asked

" Maybe.. I didn't get the right person .. Nobody captured my mind like that.. " Bucky chuckled

" Well seems like Mr Barnes held his stakes quite high " Ahana laughed..

" Maybe.. I don't remember.. And unfortunately half of my life was went in that cage... " Bucky facial muscle tightened

Ahana understood that he was about to enter in that dreadful memory..

" I remember.. That train.. Steve he tried to hold me.. I fell down.. Deep into the ice.. I.. I.. " Bucky held his head with his hands.. She knew she is too weak to today to control him... If he got any convulsions.. She still didn't stop her..

" Zola.. Yes.. That.. My left arm.. They threw it away.. I remember.. I wasn't able to feel my hand.. I.. " Bucky fisted his hand.. Ahana sat beside him.. And kept her hand on his shoulder..

" They placed metal arm.. I choked one doctor... They electrocuted me.. Freezing cold.. They put me in ice.. I don't remember.. I don't.. Can't.. " Bucky growled.. He banged metal arm on chair.. And the handle broke

Bucky's breath was heavy.. He was growling.. His eyes were closed tightly..

" Bucky.. " Ahana whispered softly

Bucky shot his eyes open..his stare was cold and scary..and punched her hard on her face..she fell from the chair.. The side of her lips were bleeding..

She realized that he is having an attack..

Before she could react further he held his wrist tightly with his metal arm.. That hold almost broke her wrist..
Bucky was looking at her with all the anger he had ...

Ignoring the pain she was going through.. She held his flesh arm... Bucky was grunting like a dangerous animal..

" Bucky leave it's hurting me.. It's me Bucky.. Calm down.. Calm down.. You're safe.. No one can harm you.. You're totally safe.. Calm down.. Calm down.. " She whispered looking straight into his dangerously angry eyes... She mugged up all her courage.. She knew she can do this

She cupped his face and whispered even more softly..
" You're Bucky. It was just a convulsion.. It's okay.. It's okay.. " She said circling her thumb on his cheeks..

Bucky's breathing got steady.. He opened his eyes slowly and realised their situation.. They were on the floor
Ahana was sitting dead close to her.. With her one on his cheeks..

He looked at her face.. She looked scared.. Her lips were bleeding..

Bucky immediately pulled himself out of her...

" Did I do.. T.. That?? " He stammered.. His gaze softened again..

Then he looked at her left wrist which had purple bruises.. It looked broken..

" Did I do that too?? " He asked.. He knew the answer.. Before she could answer.. He crawled away from her..

" Stay away.. I don't want to hurt . . Please " His voice choked.. As tears streamed down his eyes...
