Kavya's POV

While we were taking stairs, I was thinking to tell him the truth today.

He will get hurt like me if he knows the truth from someone else.

We reached our floor and I opened the door and we went inside.

First thing I did was to switch on the fan and keep it on high speed as Kabir was sweating so much in the elevator.

'I will bring you a glass of water. Sit comfortably,' I said and he sat on sofa and I gave him a glass of water.

'Suraj has arrived ten minutes ago but I got the message now,' he told me.

'I will bring my mobile and purse and then let's go,' I said and went in my bedroom.

I bought my mobile and purse from the bedroom and came outside to see Kabir was standing with a glass of water in his hands.

'You gave me water but you forgot to have it. Take these,' he said and handed me the glass making me smile.

'Thank you,' I said and drank the whole glass of water and that time I realized I was thirsty.

I was in such a hurry to go and teach Raj that I totally forgot about it until Kabir handed me the glass of water.

'Let's go,' he said as I kept the glass on the table.

'You know, I am hiding something from you, right?' I started and his expression showed that he was surprised by the topic which I started suddenly.

'Yes, I know.'

'Today I want to tell you before you get to know by someone else and it will hurt you, like I got hurt.'

'As you wish, Kavya,' he said and we walked out of my house and I locked the door.

'Your legs will start paining, Kavya,' he said making me smile.

He cares for me so much.

'What can I do?' I sighed.

'Stay in my house till the elevator gets repaired,' he said and I started laughing.

'You are funny, Kabir.' I was still laughing.

'I am serious, Kavya,' he said and I stopped climbing down to look at him and he was really serious.

Why does he care so much for me?

I am not used to this.

And, it has been years since someone cared for me this much.

And, yes, Sohum cared for me but not this much.

Kabir is careful of my every step.

'Where are you lost, Kavya?' he asked breaking me out of my thoughts.

'Nothing. I was thinking how to reject your offer politely,' I said and he chuckled.

'I know you will reject me,' he said and I scrunched my noise in confusion.

'I mean, my offer,' he corrected himself and without saying anything, we climbed downstairs.

And, till I walked towards the ground floor my legs were really tired.

'Let's wait here for few seconds and then leave,' he said and I smiled and we stood there and I removed my sandals and tried to massage my feet but was not getting balance so he held my hand and I massaged my feet.

'Let's go,' I said and wore my sandals and we walked out of the building and Suraj Bhaiya was there leaning against the car.

He greeted us and opened the door for us.

'We have our own hands, we can do it by ourselves,' I said to Suraj Bhaiya as we sat inside the car and Kabir chuckled.

'It's my duty, madam,' he said as he sat inside the car.

'Don't call me madam,' I said, again.

'I have to call you madam,' he said as he started driving towards his house.

'Have you called Raj and told him we will be late?' I asked kabir and he nodded in a 'no.'

'He must be worried Kabir. You should have called him,' I said.

'Next time I will keep it in mind.'

After that we were silent throughout the whole ride.

Suraj Bhaiya stopped the car in front of his house, came out and opened the door for both of us.

'We can do it. We have hands,' I told him again but he didn't say anything and I heard a small laughter and turned around to look at Kabir and glared angrily at him but he gestured me to go out first and he followed me.

He rang the doorbell and and Aunty opened the door and was surprised to see us but didn't say anything.

'I thought madam will not come today,' we heard Raj's voice to see him sitting on the sofa and eating chips.

'I am sorry for being late, Raj,' I said but before he could say anything Kabir told him to go to his room and I followed Raj.

I gave him all the notes which were taught today and made him understood the History lesson which was going on in class.

Aunty came with a plate of sandwich and kept it in front of me and I looked at her.

'It's an order. You have to eat it,' Aunty said and left the room.

Maybe she understood my unsaid words.

'You will not have it?' I asked Raj.

'I am full,' he said and I went back to teaching him.

After an hour I told him to write short answers and Aunty came with a tray and kept it in front of me.

'Kabir has asked you to massage your feet with hot oil,' she said and left.

God!

I don't know what to say.

How can he care for me so much?

'Will you massage your feet or should I massage?' I heard his voice and turned around to look at him.

He came and stood in front of me.

'You have still not finished your sandwich?' he asked.

'Only one is left.'

'Finish the plate. I will massage your feet,' he said and took the chair and sat in front of me.

'No. You can't touch my leg. It's not right.'

'You wiped my sweat with your dupatta. Is it right?' he asked.

'That's different but touching feet is different,' I said.

'How is it different?'

'It's too... I don't know but don't touch my feet, please.'

'Madam, bhai gives good massage. He always massage my feet if it is paining,' Raj said.

'See,' he said and took my feet and kept it on his thigh.

'I promise, I will not touch anything other than your feet,' he said but that thought didn't even crossed my mind.

My brain was filled with only one question.

How can he care for me so much?

'Your legs are not paining?' I asked.

'I went to the room and massaged both my feet by myself.'

'Then let me do it myself,' I said and tried to remove my leg.

'You finish your sandwich, I will do it. Think of it as returning the favor of making your dupatta dirty and making you cry,' he said and I was too dumbstruck to say anything.

But, one thing I realized that he was really good in doing massage.

'You made Aunty cry?' Raj asked and I smiled and caressed his head.

'Yes Raj and I am really sorry for that,' he told him but Raj didn't say anything and went back to studying.

'Oh, I forgot to tell you, I have asked Suraj to contact a technician and repaired the elevator of your building. Now when you go back, you don't have to take the stairs anymore,' he said while massaging my legs.

'I don't know what to say.'

'Don't say anything. Just stay relaxed and finish your sandwich,' he said and was still massaging my legs.

I finished my sandwich and closed my eyes because it felt like all my pain had flew away as he was massaging me.

'One day I will return the favor by massaging your feet,' I said.

'Okay. I will not deny. I want to feel it as nobody has ever done that to me,' he said.

'Not even your mom?' I asked and for few seconds he was looking at me and then he nodded in a 'no.'

'After my mom, you are the second person to massage my legs,' I said and he looked at me and gave me a heartwarming smile.

With Sohum, after climbing the stairs he always used to tell me to take rest but he never massaged my feet.

'Are you feeling relaxed?' his voice broke my thoughts.

'Yes. One day I will make you feel the relaxation you are making me feel now,' I said as he took my another feet and started massaging it.

Raj finished all the answers and I checked it all and asked him to completed to complete the 'give reasons' of the statements in geography chapter which I taught him the previous day.

Once again, I closed my eyes and relaxed.

After almost twenty minutes, I thanked him and asked him to leave and he left but before that he gave me a towel to wipe my leg as he was scared of me loosing my balance and falling down.

He thinks about my safety and security so much.

After an hour of teaching Raj I decided to leave but before that I wanted to tell Kabir about my truth.

I went in the hall to see Aunty.

'Kabir is in his room?' I asked.

'No. He went to buy medicines for me as soon as he realized I have little fever. I told him I was fine but he didn't listen,' she told me.

He cares so much for everybody.

Yes, he is an angry person but cares so much for the people close to him.

'Oh yes, Suraj is waiting outside for you,' Aunty said.

'Bye Aunty. Take care,' I said and left the house.

I want to tell you the truth as soon as I can Kabir, so that there will be no secrets between us as I don't want to ruin our friendship by keeping secrets.

I hope you liked the chapter.

What do you think of Kabir?

What do you think of Kavya?

What do you think of Sohum and Kavya's relationship?

After looking at Kabir only one thought come to my mind, How can a person loves another person to such a extent, to not even see that person a little bit hurt,

But, love like this can hurt a lot too.
