"Sh!t!!! Rishuuu!!" I shouted hysterically for Rishab. The person needed help! I run back to the kitchen but collided with Rishab.

"Di!! What happened?? Why are you screaming?" He asked cupping my face and I shook my head..

"Rishu! There! A man ! Blood! He is wounded!" I wasn't making sense but I tried to drag him with me.

"Relax! Relax! Where?" He asked trying to hold me better cuz he was aware of my panic attacks.

"Kitchen back door!" These were the only words came out of my mouth and he run towards the kitchen back door. I followed him limping around. Who was he? Why was he wounded? His groans shook me to the core!

"Sh!t! Hey buddy? Are you ok?" I heard Rishab tapping that man's cheeks who was not groaning now! Was he dead? Oh God No!!!

"He needs help Di! He is wounded badly!" I heard Rishab's shout again.

"What can we do for him?" I stammered shivering badly..

"I am a pre-doctor damn it di! Don't underestimate me!" He roared back at me! "I am going to get him in! You get some warm water and first aid kit!" He spoke again and I came to Kitchen. I tried to find the utensil to warm some water but it felt my nerves jammed!

"Hey buddy! We need to get you in! Cooperate and try to get up!" I heard Rishab talking to the stranger and I held my tears back that person was in so much of pain. "It looks like all my gym training gonna paid of today cuz you are really heavy man!" I heard Rishab again he was taking him in! "Where should I take him Di?" He asked me breathing a little heavy..

"My room! It's more tidy and comfortable!" I spoke still nervous and i heard him dragging the stranger away from the kitchen. I poured the warm water carefully in a plastic bowl and picked it up. You all must be wondering how am I doing all this without eyes then let me tell you I have arranged my Kitchen like an expert and it was easy for me to find anything. I walked to my room. Rishab took the bowl from me and I stood aimlessly in the door.

"God! These are bullet wounds! Thank God it passed touching his arms only!" Rishab was cleaning his wounds..

"He will be ok?" I asked quietly and Rishab sighed..

"He should be! Don't know who he is? It seems someone has tried to kill this handsome!" Rishab gave his statement..

So he was handsome! Hain? What? Shh Nandu! That man was dying and you! Sho sho!

"Hey buddy! Stop moving your arm I can't treat you like this!"Rishab scolded the stranger but seems like he didn't heard him. "Di come and hold him for me please!" Rishab called me and I widened my eyes. But quietly walked closer to them. Rishab made me held that stranger's hand. As soon as I held his manly hand in mine I hold my gasp back! I felt a spark and it sent shiver down my spines! An urge to trace his facial features aroused in my heart but I held it back! How can I be so shameful! Huhh!

"Di! He is unconscious he is not gonna eat you! Stop shivering and hold him tightly!" Rishab whisper-yelled at me and I came out of my fantasy..

"Sorry!" I mumbled and held his hand tightly. After half an hour Rishab had treated all the wounds of the stranger and he changed his clothes too though they were a little short for the stranger but it was ok..

"Is he ok now? When will he gain his conscious back?" I asked lowly as we came out of my room letting the stranger take rest.

"Hopefully in morning! I have given him an injection it will ease his pain!" Rishab said falling on his bed and I sat beside him. I knew he was tired..

"You are tired?" I asked kissing his forehead and heard his chuckle..

"Nopes Mumma!" He said playfully popping the 'p' and I laughed on his mumma word! He used teased me with that. He too laughed with me and held my hand on his chest while I traced his face with my free hand. "I don't have time to get tired! I have to collect money for your operation! I want you to enjoy all your senses! All five of them!" He said in a serious tone this time and I smiled. I had no words to thank him. He laid in my lap and drifted to sleep..

Manik's POV..

What was this pain all in my body! I feeling like puking! Chii! In spite of cold December I was stinking. Wait what? Where am I? I got up with a jerk and looked around. I was lying on the bed or I can say on a flower garden because the blanket and Bedsheets were full with flower patterns. Ok! Lets remind! I was running I saw a cottage then? I saw a girl inside that cottage then I fell asleep!

Ok! Great! Manik! You went unconscious idiot! Not fell asleep!

Then how did I landed here? I got up my wounds were paining and I let out an unintentional hiss..

"Please don't get up!" Suddenly I heard the most melodious voice ever and turned to saw a girl standing with haldi-doodh in her hands..! She was so beautiful! I mean maybe More then beautiful! How on earth someone could me so beautiful?????????

She walked closer to me and stood exactly in front of me.

"Please lie down! You need rest!" She said again and placed the glass on side table fumbling a little while placing it! There was something! I sat down back and she smiled..! She was staring at the floor..! I frowned! Why wasn't she looking at me??

"Where you from? Where is your family? How did you got these wounds?" She was asking non stop questions and this irritated me! One she was not looking at me secondly she was asking non stop questions..!

"Shut up!" I muttered and she stopped..

Ok! That was rude of me!

"Han?" She asked in a shock..

"I said shut up!" Again so rude of you MM!! I saw her forehead frowned...

"So rude!! We helped you and you are asking me to shut up???" She almost yelled and I gave her an irritated look..

"Yes! I know you helped me! But still I am asking you to shut up!" Rude rude rude!

Manik seriously how can you be so rude to such a pretty angel!? Look at her earrings! Twinkling shimmering! She was shimmer...! Ok Manik shut up!

"Haww! What if I don't?" She challenged me! What? She dared to challenge MM!

"Then I know how to shut you up!" I spoke eyeing her lips which were coated with pink gloss! She snapped at me and her eyes! Something was missing! Yes definitely something was missing! Life? But her words broke my chain of thoughts...

"How will you do that?" She spoke softly. I pulled her under me and she gasped! Her eyes were widened!

"Mr..!" She whispered! Her chest was raising and lowering under me..!

"Manik..!" I whispered back..

"Han??"

"My name is Manik..!"

"Manik..!" She repeated in a deep voice..

Gosh my name felt heaven from her lips. I need to kiss her! I need to..! Please can I...?

With that I lowered on her lips but she didn't pushed me away..! Did she also wanted this?

Wow! I was lying on the bed with a complete stranger pinned under me! Her bare legs were tangled with mine covered in some trousers. What the hell was I doing?

"I want to kiss you girl!" I whispered and she gasped! "Push me away or else I will kiss you!" I spoke again her eyes were closed. "Open your eyes and look at me!" My voice had an authority! She opened them and I smiled on her obedience...

"I have opened my eyes! But I can't look at you!"She whispered in a sad tone and I frowned!

"Why?" My tone was harsh I wanted her to look in my eyes..!

"Because am blind! My eyes have no light!" Her words left her lips and I was DEAD!
