A/N: Hey guys and girls, how have you been? So yeah it took a couple of days for me to write this. I was a bit stuck at some point but if I published this that means I got through it.

1950 words it is! *Kinda long*

Comments are more appreciated than votes here, so feel free to tumble in the comment section.

Plus, our girl Anah, got a pretty darn mouth. You go girl! Enjoy! ( A lil twist at the end)

Anah's POV

The moment I stepped into my room, exhaustion from the day somehow seeped in all together. Quickly discarding my sandals near the door I liked the feel of cold marble under my feet.

Going straight for the balcony while dropping my bag on the couch, I stared at the moon. It was a full moon night and the night seemed to be floating in moonlight not the other way around.

Soft night breeze was taking the heat away from my body while leaving behind a cool, calming sensation. My mind kept replaying Shourya's words again and again.

The emotion behind his words left me dumbfounded. It felt like...almost as if..as if..he loves me? I gulped and brushed away my hair from my face in restlessness.

How can he? No Anah, it's too soon to fall in love. It's been almost a month and it's happening too fast. He's invading my heart, my brain with the speed of a tornado leaving nothing behind except havoc.

"What do you feel for him Anah? Are you in love wih him? Was your concern and fear out of mere attraction or was it something more?"

I sighed hard. Never in my life I was this confused about my feelings for somebody. It's frustrating to can't even figure out your own bloody feelings.

Deciding on to contemplate tomorrow, I went to change. As soon I covered myself with my comforter, a peaceful sigh left my mouth. "I wish you were here Shourya" was the last thing I mumbled before I fell into deep slumber.

A knock on my door made me squint my eyes as sun was up and it seemed intentionally shone a bit too much on this side of the house. "Coming"

My steps wavered a bit as I walked still in half-sleep. As I opened the door I saw khala stood there holding a tray of food in her hand. I gave it a look and then looked at her face, scratched my head, turned around and ran to the bed pulling my comforter up to my eyes.

I heard khala muttering something on the lines of "Yah Allah help this girl!".
"Anah get up beta, see I made your favourite breakfast. Today mother and daughter would eat together. It's been long since we ate like this. Anah get up right now!"

Ignoring her completely I covered my ears with a throw pillow and snuggled more into the cushions. " Hmm! Wait is it Shourya, who's calling?"

I suddenly got up with a jerk and checked my phone. There was no call or whatsoever. Realising that I have been fallen into her trap I raised my head slowly. With a crooked eyebrow she ruffled my hair and chuckled.

"Oh Anah! Only Shourya can put you on your toes. Now get up and brush your teeth we'll catch up".

I rolled my eyes as she treated me like a kid. "Khala I know I got to brush my teeth before eating." I got up and went straight into the bathroom. After doing my business as soon as I entered the bathroom, soft aroma of fleshly cooked aloo- sandwich filled the air.

It's quite basic but my favourite.

I licked my lips and sat on the bed with khala. She served me half sandwich with no ketchup, I hate ketchup, Along with some freshly brewed coffee.

I savoured the delicacy as we chatted. We talked about everything and anything, like how the living room chandelier needed deep cleaning and how the café in my hospital is horrible.

"Anah? I have been meaning to ask you something from a while". I stuffed my mouth with a big bite of sandwich and gestured her to continue. "I know you asked for time and space but have you made your decision about Shourya, afterall you are in so much love with him".

An array of cough erupted from my throat on her last words. Khala rushed and patted my back to help me swallow. "Slowly Anah! It's all yours."

After I calmed down, I looked at her and said. "Why do you think I..I love him?". She stared at me for quite some time and said "What you mean? It's soo obvious. The way you care for him, the way you smile when he smile, the way you were literally pleading yesterday to bhai jaan for letting you stay and so much more."

"Plus-" she stopped, I looked at her " I know he proposed" A blush crept my cheeks as my eyes diverted to the beautiful diamond ring on my finger. "How do you-" she cut me off.  "Yesterday, Sandhya told me because she thought I must have already knew".

Guilt surfaced in my body. "I am sorry Khala, we wanted to meet and tell. Yesterday night we planned a dinner so that we could clear things between families and papa would trust him better but he got into an accident."

I held her hands in mine and kissed her knuckles. "Sorry khala" She gave me a small smile and lovingly brushed my hair. I held the food tray and kept it aside. Adjusting my head on her lap, I cuddled.

She brushed my hair and we talked for quite some time. I didn't realised when I fell asleep again as when I woke up, instead of khala's lap there was a pillow underneath my head. My eyes fell on the clock and holy moly it was a quarter past eleven.

I got up in a jiffy and rushed to the bathroom. It took me half an hour to take a shower and also get dressed. It was a simple mustard colour kurta with black duppatta. Quickly heading downstairs checking for all the essentials in my bag.

"Khala I am leaving for the hospital". I shouted on top of lungs to make sure she heard. Soon I was on the road waiting for a cab. I totally forgot my car was at Shourya's. Yesterday I was supposed to pick it up but between all the chaos literally forgot.

I was about to call for a cab when I saw a taxi entering my alley. "Hey!" I hailed for it as it came my way. Bending a little to see through the window I asked "Wellsoul Hospital?"

He nodded and gestured for me to sit. My shoulder bumped a bit with the door while closing it. I was checking my phone when I felt someone's gaze on me. Slightly looking up my phone I found the taxi driver staring at me from the back view mirror.

"What?" I asked while narrowing my gaze. For a bit he kept quiet and then said "Madam your dress sleeve is ripped" Quickly I moved my hand all over the sleep and found it ripped just above my collar bone.

"Ah!" I quickly covered the spot with the duppatta while embarassment seeped in. "Umm...thankyou" He nodded at me through the mirror and the rest of the ride I was on my toes. I don't know, it felt wierd when he stared.

Stop being paranoid Anah, he saved you from a bigger embarrassment if you entered the hospital without covering it.

Soon we reached, as I was paying him I found him staring at my hand, particularly on my ring that Shourya gave. Quickly retracting my hand after handing him the money, I went inside.

What a creep!

Instead heading for my cabin I went straight to Shourya's room. I needed to see him. As I entered, I saw maa sitting with him along with bhai. His gaze met mine and his face broke into a dazzling smile.

My blood circulation just increased with that smile of his.

I went towards maa, touched her feet and side hugged Anirudh Bhai. I checked his morning charts and asked him a couple of questions. "Did you eat well? Was it hurting anywhere last night? Any swelling or irritation near the wound? Follow the pen will you?"

I moved the pen to and fro in front of eyes as he followed it diligently. "Such a good boy you are" bhai chuckled at my words and maa tried to stop her smile. Soon maa went to use the washroom while I was checking the monitors.

"So?" I asked as I sat down beside him. He merely shrugged. "Somebody seems grumpy, what happened?".
"What is the date today Anah?". My eyes widen, it was 17 September, his Birthday.

"I am so sorry, I didn't mean to. Happiest birthday Shourya". I put my hand forward for him to shake as I gave him an apologetic smile. He grabbed my hand and instead of shaking it, pulled me towards him.

"Got you, by the way, when we'll get married then we'd see if I will be just a boy in your eyes" he whispered.  "You are such a..devil" he gave a sexy smirk. Wait what! Where does that came from?

'Sexy huh?' Shutup innerself.

"Back to earth Anah" he waved his fingers in front of eyes to gain attention. "Yeah sorry I got lost in my thoughts". He ruffled my hair when his eyes caught something. I followed  his gaze which apparently landed on the rip on my shoulder.

The duppatta fell from there and the rip seemed to widen a bit from earlier. "Anah what happened? Wait! Did that bastard Shresth touched you? That son of a-" I covered his mouth before he could complete the curse.

"Shourya! Calm down. He didn't do anything. It happened when I was closing the taxi door. Please relax, your blood pressure is sky rocketing". I brushed his cheeks as I felt him leaning onto my touch.

"Do you have a spare dress?" I nodded. "I always keep a couple of clothes in my cabin. I'll go change right away. I'll be back soon. Don't move too much okay." I got up and was about to leave when turned around and softly pecked his cheeks.

He gave a beautiful grin which melted my poor heart. This mas would be the death of mine. I was walking to my cabin when I saw Shresth standing there.

Speak of the devil and the devil appears. He was talking to one of the nurses. Deciding on ignoring him, I was about to enter my cabin when he called out. "Hey Anah". I took a deep breath and turned around.

"Yes,Shresth?" He gave me a smirk and said, "Now because Shourya is in hospital, so he won't be able to be there for you"

"So?", "So..you know if you might want to go out with me till he gets better. Not like he'd be able to satisfy you in that kind of condition" he chuckled finding his own statement very amusing.

I walked close to him, smirked and said "Guess what? There are multiple positions one can do without moving the other. Plus-" I pointed at my ripped shoulder. "He's got enough strength to satisfy me even in this position that I find difficult to handle, so imagine his stamina when he is all well, so just take your sick mentality and shove it where the sun doesn't shine"

I entered my cabin with a massive grin.

Shourya's gonna be so proud.

I just walked two steps when I heard something shuffling and before I could see, something hit me so hard that all I could see was the world spinning and blackness evading.

"Shourya!"
