"Sometimes a loved one's presence is what matters and feels like everything"

~

"karann"preeta groaned angrily staring at him throwing the chocolate bar which she was eating.

He ignored her completely and changed the channel.She was laying on the sofa watching a movie after coming back from hospital.He had just come 15 mins before from his work and now took the Remote from her.

It's been 5 days since they had returned from Delhi.Everything was getting normal between them and all the credits went to karan.He was nice to her and made the normal conversation with her without creating any awkward silence or situation between them.

And moreover the quarrels  between them were increasing at the end of their every conversation but still preeta was the one who annoys him more and again she is the one who gets compromises more.But she was happy with whatever going on just in these some days.

Beacuse he was the one who had Changed and accepted the change in his life.And she was really greatfull that.She had dreamt for this karan and she was happy to see him like that back again,with her.

They did breakfast and dinner together and he had strictly said her take their own car while going to the hospital.He cannot take any risks after that incident which made changes in him for sure.

"Karan mujhe remote do ya fir channel change Karo mein bata rahi hu"she again shouted standing up.

"Agar na karu toh,I am tired already so don't disturbed me now.It's an important match"he said making himself comfortable on the sofa.

"Then go and rest..mera bhi favourite movie hai"she said standing in front of him with hands on her waist glaring at him.

"Oh god!kitni baar dekhogi"he said making faces.

"Oye! Don't you dare to say anything about DDLJ..I can watch it 1000 times..tab bhi bore nahi hoga mujhe"she said remembering the movie in a dreamy mood.

Karan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with 'great' face.

"Great!utna bhi kuch khaas nahi hai..I can just watch once whichever the film may be"he said gazing at the screen.

"Haan!kyu ki tum ek heartless ho"she muttered angrily.

"Kya kaha?"karan asked widening his eyes.

Preeta looked away and ignored him.

"Kuch bhi nahi now will you change or not?"she asked him pointing a finger.

"Noo"he said pushing her finger slightly with his.

Preeta narrowed her eyes staring her finger then him.Whereas karan eyes switched from hers to tv screen.

"Karannnn"she screamed at him.

"I am here!kyu chilla rahi ho"he said closing his ears annoyingly.

Meanwhile her eyes went on the remote which was laying on his lap as he was closing his ears with his both hands.She immediately picked it up and ran away from him.

Whereas his eyes widened in shock and he immediately stood up to reach her.

She changed the channel to a movie and took out her tongue teasing him.He was about to take the Remote from her hands that she moved behind creating the distance between them.

"Karan no! Abb tum bhi dekh rahe the it's my turn please"she said raising her eyebrows moving here and there.

"Tum mujhe do..ya fir channel change Karo"he repeated her words earning a galre from her.

"You are repeating my words copy cat"she said running inside his room.

"Toh"he smirked at her and ran behind her.

She stood at the center of the room beside his bed showing the Remote in her hand.

"Toh..just see"she lifted her eyebrows mocking at him.

He was about to catch her that she moved Little back and reached his bed.Climbing on the bed she reached to the other side and jumped down.

"Preeta" he yelled at her annoyingly seeing her actions and came to the other side of the bed to hold her but she was faster than him and immediately ran towards the door.

Finally coming outside within a mere sec she closed the door with a thud and Locked it from outside.

"Preetaa open the door"she heard him from inside and barging of the door.

She started laughing holding the door and her stomach. Wereas karan hit the door glaring her from inside.

"This is not done!open the door"he again called her being irritated listening to her laugh.

"Tum..tum"she said between her laugh trying to say something.

"Abb hasna band nahi kiya na toh..I won't leave you once I come outside"he shouted from inside angrily.

She kept palm on her mouth to stop laughing but again laughed listening to him.

"Wo..woh tab hoga jab tum bahar aaoge aur mein tumhe bahar ane hi nahi dungi"she giggled at his statement.

"Preeta don't test my pacience..open the door"he Warned her barging the door again.

"Ohh!then let me test.. movie half an hour baki hai toh mein chali dekhne tum aram karo waise bhi thak gaye honge ,kal subhe khol dungi don't worry"she pressed her lips together to control her laugh and weng to the living room.

"Preetaa, I am hungry jaldi kholo" he shouted from inside hoping alteast now she would open.

"Kuch nahi hoga lunch toh kiya hoga tumne meine bhi kitni baar dinner skip Kiya hai tumhari wajeh se"she replied him laying on the sofa ignoring him purposely.

He huffed listening to her and closed his eyes trying to calm himself.

She once glanced at the door, without getting any reply from him she smiled smugly and adverted her gaze to the TV screen.
.

.

"Ja simran ja, jee le apni zindagi"she mimicked the dialogue and  stood up from the sofa throwing the remote.

It's been more than half an hour she was busy in watching the movie or can say purposely ignored him.Even he didn't called her again after that.

When the movie got completed,she stretched her arms and again looked at his closed door.

"Huh!"muttering she reached his room door and stood there thinking whether to open or not.

But remembering,he was hungry she opened the latch and entered inside to see him sleeping.

"Ohh shayad bore hua hoga bechara"saying she moved towards him and kneeled down in front of his bed looking at him.

Forwarding her hand she ruffled his hair with a smile and then shook him.

"Karan,utho"she said.

"Karann"she again shook his arm in order to wake him up.

"abb bukha toh nahi so sakta..shayad kuch zyada hi kardiya meine"she pressed her lips together while thinking and looked at him making a sad face.

"mein remote dungi..utho"she said pulling his hair slightly which were Falling on his forehead.

He opened his eyes feeling pain and panicked little seeing her close as he was sleeping.Preeta widened her eyes and moved back little raising her eyebrows and gulped her saliva.

"What the hell!tum kya kar Rahi ho yaha"he rubbed his scalp and corrected his hair angrily.

"I was just trying to wake you up..you were hungry right"she asked nervously.

Karan saw her with anger getting up from the bed whereas she stood up following him.

"Toh?why do you care? I was hungry..but now I am not"saying he entered inside the washroom ignoring her.

"Karann!"she pouted sadly and sat on his bed immpaciently.

When he returned after washing his face.she Stood up and approached him.

"Leave my way"he frowned.

"Fine! I am sorry" she apologized showing her upper lip slightly.

He narrowed his eyes glaring at her puppy face and looked away.

"For what?"he asked raising his eyebrows.

"Abb bass sorry kaha toh accept it, like I have accepted your apology. aur dinner ke liye aao"she signed and turned to go.

But He caught her had instantly "and why should I accept..I am not hungry,you can go and watch your favourite movie"he scoffed out looking away from her.

Preeta giggled internally and bit her tongue realising he was angry for that.she  took her hand back and looked at him with 'ohh' face.

"Abb tum cricket dekh sakte ho,my Film is over"she replied.

"Even my match is over"he scoffed.

"I know tumne mobile pe dekha hoga.now come"she held his hand and dragged him.

But he held her hand with his other hand and pulled her.she gasped with his sudden pull and collided with him.

"I wanted to watch it on tv itself..now tell me what will you do for me?"he asked her lifting his  eyebrow.

"Mein..what will I do?"she asked nervously looking at his curious face.

"Yes you?I want my compensation?"he said firmly while holding her tightly.

"What?tum highlights dekhlo..I can do that for you now"she said struggling in his hold.

He left her hand listening to her and moved past her.preeta made what_was_that face and followed him to the kitchen.

"I will take that revenge soon!"he said while picking an Apple.

"Huhh!"she ignored him and forwarded him a plate.

"Maria ne sab dinner prepare Kiya hai..toh don't waste it and have it"preeta stated.

"I am not hungry"he said taking a bite.

"Can't you forgot that! Meine sorry bhi kaha"she asked sadly.

He was about to go but she held his hand and made him look at her.

"Karan please..You want me to have dinner alone?"she asked him and advertised her gaze from him making a wry face.

Karan saw her face and shook his head in dismay.But he too looked away and took his hand back moving past her.

"Kar.."she stopped seeing him sitting on a chair waiting for her.

She smiled sheepishly went towards him happily.

It was saturday afternoon and preeta was sitting in her cabin leaning her head on the chair.

"Preeta Mam"nurse gained her attention.Preeta opened her eyes and looked at her.

"Yeah,I am sorry"she whispered sitting straight.

"Mam aap half day leave le lijiye..aap already Bohot tired hai,that was complecated surgery"nurse said to her.

"I am happy that It was successful.But aur ek hai mein nahi ja sakti neha"she informed her by drinking a glass of water.

"We cannot pause it because of periods right?the pain is bearable for now"she said pressing her lips together.

"aur woh patient ko operation theatre leke jao and check on him.I am coming in 10 mins"She said going through the file.

"Ok mam"saying the nurse left the cabin closing the door behind.

Preeta kept her hand on her Belly and closed her eyes with a crybaby face.

"please don't pain..I will die if it gets extreme"she murmered sadly and stood up picking her stethoscope and apron.
.

.

She came out of the operation theatre after 3  hours and opened her mask feeling suffocation.

"Mummy!"she mumbled painfully and entered inside her cabin.

Sitting on the chair she kneeled her head down on the table and closed her eyes instantly not able to bear the pain.

It was paining her a lot,she controlled it  as she was engrossed in the surgery and was ignoring that concentrating there.But now it was extreme and paining her like hell.

She again lifted her head as she was not even able to take rest.She drank a glass of water and shut her eyes painfully.

The ringtone took her attention.but she didn't feel like talking to anyone.When her eyes caught the name flashing on the screen she immediately picked it up and felt like crying.

"Karan!"she whispered with tears.

"Preeta!kya hua?tum thik ho?"he panicked and asked hearing her painful tone.

"Nahi!mei."she stopped and wiped her tears sadly.

"Tum kaha ho?abhi hospital mein ho?tell me!"he asked her instantly.

"Haan!tum yaha aao...mein drive karke nahi aa sakti"she said lowly leaning her head on the table.

"I am coming!just in 15 mins..Don't worry"she heard him and kept the phone aside closing her eyes tiredly.
.

.

"Karan"she winced seeing him infront of her as if she got what she wanted.He came for her that was the most important thing for her.

"Kya hua?"he asked approaching her.she stood up and reached him.

"Mujhe ghar leke chalo please..I can't stay here"she said holding his hand controlling her pain.

He sensed her mood and nodded.

"Okay chalo"saying he picked her mobile and kept it in her bag and took her outside.

Reaching the car he opened it immediately and she sat silently and leaned her head gloomily closing her eyes.

Karan saw her and held her hand.Preeta opened her eyes and looked at him with teary eyes.

"Hey what happened?why are you crying?"he asked shockingly.

"I can't bear it,tum Ghar leke chalo please jaldi"she whispered shaking her head in no.

"Periods?"he asked her.

She nodded her head and again leaned on the window.
.

.

Reaching their penthouse,she immediately fell on the couch as he opened the door.

"Preeta"karan reached and kneeled down to face her.

"it's paining a lot..I will die now"She moaned in pain closing he eyes.

"I can understand..kuch nahi hoga come and take a warm bath you will feel better"he informed holding her arm.

His heart ached seeing her crying in pain.But he didn't know what actually has to do for that.He knew about that and some information but now he felt like easing her pain seeing her like this.

"Nahi..I can't.bohot pain ho raha hai"she said moving here and there with hands on her Belly.

"I know.. lekin tum aise rahogi toh Kam nahi hoga na come"he said making her sit.

She cried and nodded in no like a baby.He made her stand and took her inside her room.

"Take a warm bath..you will feel better"he informed her and sent her inside.

She nodded slightly and went inside.

"I will bring your clothes,tum jao"he informed her and went towards her walldrobe.

She walked outside and held the door of the bathroom.Katan stood up seeing her and held her.

"Feeling better?"he asked her.whereas she shook her head and came outside.

"Kya khaogi?"he asked her as she sat on her bed wiping her wet hair.

"Mujhe kuch nahi khana hai..i don't feel like eating anything"she said leaning her head back on the bedrest closing her eyes.

"What you had in the afternoon?"karan asked sitting beside her.

"Nothing..I had an orange juice"she said gulping her saliva.

"Tumne kuch khaya nahi hai?toh kaise Kam hoga?"he said glaring at her.

"Tum mujhe danto mat..It's my every month story and I cannot do anything for this"she said lowly looking away from him.

"Lekin abb kuch kha lo!you will feel better atleast.you feel sleepy otherwise it will pain more"he informed her sadly.

Listening to her,he felt sad for her as she mentioned that she feel the same pain every month.How he didn't noticed in these 3 months.He scolded himself thinking how much it may have Pained her and he was not there for her those days.

"I am sorry!I don't know how you may have suffered these months when you were here"he said feeling guilty.

"Yes..but those were at night and that's why you didn't noticed but this time it's day time and I am dying here"she said throwing the pillow aside and fell on that.

Karan saw her and gulped"kuch khane ke liye leke aau?"he asked her.

"Noooo!I don't want to eat anything..it's a paining like hell"she said rolling on the bed painfully.

He was not getting what to do seeing her State and how to console her.But it was surely making him worried and restless seeing her condition.

He brought a glass of milk for her and shook her who was moaning in pain clutching the pillows.

"Preeta"he called her.She didn't respond and was shifting here and there on the bed.

"Preeta drink this"he forwarded sitting beside her.

She slowly got up and looked at him with tears.

"Hey! please don't cry..mein hu na yaha..kuch nahi hoga..It will go"he said cupping her face.

She burst into tears and hugged him crying.He surprisingly surrounded his hands around her pulling her to him and got tensed.

"Kuch nahi hoga..it will be fine"he said rubbing her back comforting her.

She snuggled in his neck and cried more clutching his shirt in her fists due to the pain.

He shivered feeling her hot breath but he has to control for her.He closed his eyes feeling her and snuggled to her making her body warm.

Her pain slightly decreased or it got unnoticed by her due to his warmth and his touch,she didn't know but it felt too better for her and her State.

The pain in her stomach got mixed with the shivers he was giving her.And the pain in her body felt Little decreased cuddling in his arms.

He didn't say anything and let her stay however she wanted.But her nose which was rubbing on his neck alerted him.He fisted his hand which was on her back and snuggled deeper in her shoulder shutting his eyes.

After some when they continued staying in that position cuddling in eachother embrace.Karan opened his eyes feeling her sleeping on his shoulder.

He was about to lift her head that she held him tightly and again snuggled to him.

"Noo"she whispered lowly and surrounded her hands around him hugging him tightly as if her life was depending on him.

A smile appeared on his face seeing her calm.He too held her back and hugged her closing his eyes.

After a good 30 mins she opened her eyes and lifted her head to see him looking at her.

"I am sorry woh"she mumbled correcting her hair.

"Hey!it's fine..how are you feeling now?"he asked concerned.

She nodded slightly in return "better".

"Good..abb kuch kha ke so jao wait I will bring"saying he stood up and went outside.

Meanwhile she smiled seeing him going.

He brought her food and forwarded her a bite sitting in front of her.She opened her mouth and ate from his hands.

Today he made her feel like her mom.She was the one who used to be beside her in this situation and today he was taking care of her like one.She felt loved and the feeling was so overwhelming for her.

"It's totally fine babydoll..I am always there for you"he smiled forwarding the morsel.

When she had done with food she shook her head saying 'enough'.

"Ok! Drink water"he forward her the glass of water and kept the plate aside.

She smiled and nodded slightly.She didn't wanted him to go.She felt better in his embrace and to be close to him specially today.but she didn't knew how to tell him or to make him stay.

Wereas he too was not feeling good to leave her in that situation were she needed someone to be with her.In her pain who could take care of her and he wanted to be that.

"Karan"she called him as he turned to go.
