CITY HOSPITAL MANALI

Those eyes were flooded with blood. He was seething in anger. His cold and blankly inscrutable countenance was now altered into freakish demonic rage.
He was fuming, took a look at the girl on the bed and stepped towards her as he rested on a chair next to her recapturing the same resting face.

He was continuously looking at her, her frail body, her pale face, her cuts, her dry blue lips, and the traces of tears from the corners of her eyes. Each and every frame in front of him was piercing his heart, he felt a severe pain looking at her.

Hauled his shivering hands towards her face but failed.He was now feeling suffocated in that room as someone has fastened his windpipe and cut the oxygen from him.

Room's atmosphere was almost terrifying with the echoes of thunderstorms and extreme lighting whirling through the walls, coming up from the broken glass of the window.
He moved his eyes, steadily stood up to leave and but his bracelet stucked with something. She has held his bracelet with her index finger but that weak body of her has no more strength left to actually grab his hand and make him sit close to her.

He turned around and his eyes widened with shock to see that her closed eyes intiated some movement.
He was so happy ,so happy that was about to call the doctor but then he looked at his bracelet as he found she was slightly gripping it with her index finger. He again took his seat while helding his hand in his. A smile swept on his lips with a moisture of pleasure welled up in his eyes. His vision blurred with the tears and he closed his eyes. He was crying trying not to make any sound. His tears rolled down from the cheeks and wetting her hand held by him.
As he again got lost in some past memories of his high school.

Nia's house...

It was 10 p.m. in the night.
In a beautiful spacious dark room in the soft beam of blueish light falling on Nia's face who was busy lying on her bed while reading a book. Her phone on the side table vibrated for the second time once while she was in washroom and this time she picked up and spoke
"Hlo? Tujhe Raat ko bhi chain Nahi Hai Kya?"

("Hlo? Don't you have any peace even at night")

Shanaya- "Dude why are you always in your impulsive fight mode! Asha shod..I have something important to tell you"

Nia- "What wrong on earth is happening now?" Asked being a little pissed off tone.

Shanaya- "Niaaaaaa...." In a sweet polite voice.

Nia- "Don't you dare to tell me your again asking me for night out!!" She completed her sentence in a single breath.

Shanaya- "Yaar what's a big deal we won't let anybody know just like we did last month, please Na!!" She pleaded

Nia- "Shanaya grow up!! It's not a time man! It's freaking 10 p.m..." She explained with shocking gaze on her phone.

Nia- "I hope you understand as it's not safe ,Afterall?" With a predictable concern in her tone.

Shanaya- "Nia please don't make a fuss of it now! You are coming that's it and Shivam will be picking you up from your place" She uttered everything in one go and hung up the call.

Nia- "SHIVAM! wait h...hlo....hlooo!" She got furious with the name of Shivam and threw her phone on the bed.

Nia- "ughhhhhhhh! This blodddyyy bitchh I will spare you up!" She whispered to herself.

Nia made up her mind to sneek out of her house as Shanaya forced her to go to her place tonight without telling anybody. God knows what was going on in her mind. Nia tried her best to deny but as always Afterall it was Shanaya who always end up making her agree.

After some minutes she made a makeshift rope out of her dupatta and tied up one of its end with the window and clung herself with her so called rope slowly with the help of wall started coming down from the balcony as she decided to sneek out from the backyard of her house which opens up to the road where as per the plan Shivam would be waiting for her.

Nia successfully came down without hesitating herself to hide that rope still hanging on her window. She headed towards the wall and managed to climb on it, was about to jump but her phone vibrated in her pocket as she took out her phone to answer but got distracted and lost her balance.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
She screamed not enough to be heard by watchman at the front gate. Unexpectedly She fell on the person who was attending his call.

When someone's scream reached to him he turned around but it was too late.

"Aaaoouch...bloddy hell!" He yelled in pain as she fell on his chest. After he got into his senses something all of sudden struck into his mind as he felt a familiar yet pleasant essence of her perfume.His heartbeat hiked at the moment a soft warm breath on his bare chest from his first three unlatched buttons of the shirt.Before he could proceed further.

"Shivam you bastard!!!" Nia landed a punch on his chest without looking at him. And tried to get up from him.

"Youuuu....Oh hlooo Miss. James Bond!! Get over me right nowww! He yelled out of pain and grabbed her shoulders to jerk her aside.

A current shivered through her spine as she halted her movement .Her eyes were about to be popped out realising that HE IS NOT SHIVAM! She felt a well built athlete body under her.He jerked her side and their eyes met.

"Youuuuuuu!!!"Both shouted in unpredictable shock.They setted thier cloth and stood up.

Nia- "What are you doing here and where the hell is that dick Shivam!" She raised her brows with a confusing gaze on none other than Veer!

Veeransh- "How dare you to punch me!" He yelled at her with a fuming gaze.

Nia- "And how you dare to yell on me!" She pointed her index finger at his face and gave him a death glare .

Veeransh- "Excuse me? As per the rule I questioned first so you better answer me first! Then I will bother whether I need to give any answer or not!" He jerked away her finger with his and pointed on her face.

Nia- "As per the rule You should answer first....hatt!!! Who made this nonsense rule?" She mimicked his line in his voice confronting him.

Veeransh- "M..m..Mera matlab m..mujhe kya pata, Hoga koi mahaan Aadmi!" He stammered, realising what he just said and shrugged as he replied back.

("I...I...mean I don't know he might be a great man!")

She gave him death glare with her angry pout face but as always she herself didn't know that how cute she looks when she make this expression. (No offence to Shivam)

As he noticed her angry face he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Nia- "Listen! If you forgot the way to your mental hospital you can tell me ,I can help you with that..! But there's no mean of laughing out like a headless chick!" Nia mocked him with a same look but in calm tone.

But Veeransh wasn't feeling like going to stop today. Nia got irritated as to shut him up she stepped ahead pressed his cheeks with her one hand. Veeransh went blank out with this sudden move of her on him. He was just looking at her with his puppy face and pout because of the way Nia held his face.

She couldn't stop herself from adoring him but as soon as  realisation pops up in her head got distracted by the vibration of her phone in hand. She abruptly moved away from him and picked up the call.

But Veeransh was lost somewhere, as he had almost forgot breathing for a moment and was still trying to process the scene what just happened to him.

Nia- "You fucking brat! where the hell are you? First of all why did you agree to join and tell me one thing you were supposed to pick me up right?"
She was continuously yelling at him without letting him speak as he took the phone aside from his ear which has no more strenth left to listen her.

Shivam- "Ho Gaya tumhara? Ab main bolu?"He replied calmly.

("Are you done?Now should I speak?")

Nia- "bhonkiee.."she rolled her eyes.
("Barkk!")

Shivam- "Yes I was supposed to come pick you but these parents got involved me in this in not so interesting Bhajan! In our neighbourhood. That's why I called you earlier to inform this that I won't be able to come but you were not picking the call and finally when you answered , Kya phool baras rahe the aapke muh se main to sunke dhanya ho Gaya") He described and sighed.

("But finally when you answered I was blessed to hear those sweet flower like words pouring out from your mouth")

Nia- "Han toh tujhe hamesha Galat time par hi kyun phone Karna yaad ata hai" She replied but this time in pleasant way.

("Then why do you always think of calling me at the wrong time?")

Shivam- "I'm Soo Sorry Nia jii Apko Galat waqt pr phone Karne ke liye lekin Kya aap Bata Sakti Hain Ki Aisa Kya Galat ho Gaya apke Saath?" Shivam asked in his sweet voice which didn't seem to be felt sweet by Nia.

("I am Soo sorry dear Niaa for calling you at the wrong time but can you please tell me about what wrong happened to you then?")

Nia- "Tujhse Matlab???She realised something and hung up the phone then turned around, but Veer was no longer present there.
("None of your business")

Flashback -

Veeransh was driving on his way to home returning from gym but unexpectedly near Nia 's house his phone rang.He looked at screen and her mother was calling him,so he parked his car on side and picked the the call but voice was not properly audible that he urged to get out of his car due to no network in his mobile. She was asking him about why he got so late and he was informing her up about the whole thing but just then a scream echoed through the air and he turned around.

-Flashback ends

Veeransh was behind the wheel, engulfed in troubling thoughts that were evident from the shifting expressions on his face. He drove through the main gate of Raghuvanshi Haveli and parked his car in the designated parking area.

RAGHUVANSHI MANSION

He has just stepped in the living area as he heard a voice. His steps stopped right there and to look after the voice he spun around.

Veeransh- "Maa!!" He looked at his mom sitting on the dining table waiting for him to join her for dinner.

Vedika Raghuvanshi (Veer's mom and the second 50 percent share holder of their own "The A R Enterprises") Her elegant attire with some precious piece of Rajputana jewellery And that confident personality of her perfectly complementing the elegance of her smile and her beautiful face.
Pure Rajputana attitude Visible from her overall personality with a touch of authoritative and positive aura of her presence. But Extremely sweet by her nature which truly contradicts her personality. It could be easily predicted by anyone that Veer was exact copy of her from his looks but his attitude and nature was dominated by his father's genes. His father (Amar Raghuvanshi) The CEO of his company and the only Hukumsa of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Where they no longer resides as there company 's head office is located in Mumbai they have been living here since Veer's birth and Vedika ji look after the whole Company in India but due to there another headquarters in foreign countries Amar Raghuvanshi handles their foreign business and that's why he doesn't lives with his family but is this only the reason or something else? Never mind!

Vedika ji- "Veeransh is this your time to come for dinner?" She complained passing an unsatisfied yet firm voice .

Veeransh- "Mom I told you na! Okay Sorry"He moved to her and sat on his knee, his hands on his ears with a pout face.

Vedika ji- "What are you doing! Achha get up know, Maine maaf Kiya...ab aisi shaklein mat bna"
She took him up on his seat and pinched him cheeks as he smiled .
("I have forgiven you...now don't make such faces")

Veeransh- "Maa jaldi Khana lga do bhookh lagi Haiii!" Started hitting on his empty plate with his spoon. And she started serving him.

These were actually just 'Veeransh things' no matter how rudely he behaves with others or how emotionless and cold he pretends to be in front of others but With her mom he was always his little "Veer" and she her lovely so called "Veer Ki Veda" only veer used to call her with this name or we can say that this was their love language, Whatever! Their bond was unbreakable.

Veeransh stood up from the chair gave her mom a gentle kiss on her cheek as she noticed something.She looked at him with a questioning look, when Veer couldn't understand he said
"What??"

Vedika ji pointed her finger at Veeransh's chain. When he followed her eyes his eyes widened and he looked up at her mom.

Veeransh- "M...mom..it's nothing like that actually"She interrupted.

Vedika ji- "kiska Hai ye??" She raised her brows and held his chain in her hands.

Veeransh- "Mom it's not my fault I.."She showed a piece of jewellery to him and passed him a probing gaze.

Veeransh- *Deep Sigh* "Ohh thiss!! Actually it's...it's?? Veeransh thought of finding a perfect excuse but nothing came to his mind but he actually felt a great relief knowing that her mom didn't actually noticed that lipstick mark on his chest as it looked like a mark of nude lipstick more like a lip gloss not that dark which can be noticed by someone that easily.

Veeransh- "Umm..yeh ..yeh to...Surya ka Hai Haan yeh to Surya ka Hai! Who bhi na apni Chizon ka dhyaan bhi Nahi rakh sakta! Huh?" A sense of proud patted his shoulder in his mind realising how clever he is too give such a brilliant answer.

("This..this..is Surya's! He just cannot look over his things! silly guy!")

Vedika ji twisted his left year with her hand and gave him a killing gaze as If she has caught his biggest secret.

"Beta main Teri maa hun! Mujhse chlaaki mat kar!! Yeh kisi ladki ka Hai na? Sach sach Bata Kon Hai woh? Aur kabse Chal rha Hai yeh sab" She unfolded the list of questions in front of him and raised her brows with a mocking smile on her face.

("Baby don't try to play smart with your mom ok! Now tell me truth, Is it belongs to a girl? Who is she? For how long all this is going on?")

Veeransh- "Aooooo! Are Veda it's nothing like that and which girl are you talking about ! Idk ! please leave me" Veeransh lied very sharply but another second her grip on his ear tightened.

Vedika ji- "beta I have heard your whole conversation with your Miss what was that haa...James Bond isn't it?? I think you forgot to disconnect the call ! Now be a good boy and tell me I won't say anything..Promise afterall woh humari hone wali bahu Hai. Tu kahega toh Aaj hi tera Roka karwa dungi uske Saath par Bata to sahi!"She asked with an exiting expressions.

("Promise afterall she is my going to be daughter in law. I will get your Roka today itself but you atleast tell me about her")

Veeransh- "Mom what is this bahu and all and I am just 18!!! So please leave my ear! It's hurting...Please naa!"
She left his ear with a dull face and headed towards the kitchen without saying anything.

Veeransh- "Vedaaaa!!" He moved to her and ran upstairs towards his room snatching something from her hand with a sudden jolt.

Vedika ji- "Veer !! Agar parso tak tune Mujhe us se Nahi milvaya toh dekh Lena tu! Mujhse Kabhi baat mat Karna.....awaz hi itni pyaari thi toh khud kitni pyaari hogi!! Haye Meri bahu, kahin main Khushi se mar hi na jaaun!") Vedika ji- shouted at him from behind.With her last words Veeransh suddenly halted and turned around.

Veeransh- "Momm!! Don't you dare to say this again..You are never going to leave me?"Veer's face flushed cold and his voice deepened.

Vedika ji- "Tu Mujhe milvayega na usse?"Her eyes flattered with hope.
("Will introduce her to me?")

Veeransh-"Good night mom"his voice calmed down and he entered in his room.

Vedika ji- "Iska Matlab main apni bahu se Milne wali hun"
A wide smile swept on her lips.

Nia's bedroom...

They had cancelled the plan of night out as Shivam has refused to come and pick her up , so she informed Shanaya and explained her the whole situation.

Her back lifelessly collided on the bed but sleep was too far from her beautiful Almond black eyes.
Room was blinking in blueish white beam light. Switching off and switching on the night lamp she was thinking of something from past 1 hour and 15 minutes.

"Nia..just stop it! What's wrong is happening with me! why am I thinking of him and I don't understand why the hell I stammered in front him. Wait! Why do I care? Or I do? Uggg!!!! I am going to be mad!!!!!!!" She whispered to himself, messing up in his own thoughts.

"Nia don't be dramatic you can't fall for such things and he himself not such type of a boy who would ever think of you!!! He likes Shanaya but I don't think he will be a right choice for her ? Or I just judged him o fast? Waittt! From where did Shanaya come in all of this now ? Uggg!!! I think that stupid mental entity has captured my mind! Idiot!
She pulled her hair so hard with both of her hands and she noticed something .

"Fuckk! Where the hell is my bracelet oh godddd!! How can I..! How can I be such an idiot? I am such a fool. Daadu gifted it to you on your birthday and you just couldn't look after it!"

She cursed herself and started finding it in all over the room but after an hour of hustling search when she couldn't find anything she gave up and fell on bed.

Veeransh's bedroom...

As he stepped into his room, he removed his shirt, tossing it onto the bed before heading out to the stunning balcony that was connected to his room. Leaning against the railing, he gazed out at the enchanting half-moon casting its glow over the city. However, the chilly weather sent a gentle breeze across his face, stirring memories of the night's events in his mind.

He remembered the bracelet in her hand that had somehow gotten tangled in his chain when she fell, and how, in that moment, he had abruptly disengaged from her without even realizing it. He returned to the room and placed the bracelet in the drawer beside his bed.

As water cascaded down from his head to his body, his hand recklessly brushed over the mark on his chest. He turned off the shower and stared at his reflection in the mirror. Countless times he had run his fingers over that mark, yet he hadn’t noticed the unexpected broad smile that now illuminated his face. He examined his frame in the mirror, taking in his bare chest.

His black bottoms had become wet from the shower, but he didn’t seem to care—he hardly even noticed. All he felt was her presence lingering around him, the subtle yet alluring scent of her perfume in the air, her warm breaths, and the gentle press of her lips against his chest. He whispered to himself.

"What is this!!!? what's happening to me ? Am I literally attracted to her or its just my misconception? Ya it's just a misconception.I think it's because for the first time I came so close to a girl! nothing else veer!! Don't be stupid she can never like you, didn't you noticed she was feeling too hectic to be around you! But what about that stammering then? What about the way her heartbeat alarming around you!!! Wait wait wait ? But Why Am I even thinking of her ! Oh god Am going to be maddd!!!!

*sigh*

But she is cute indeed! Fuckk!! Noo..Veer you are behaving like a mad lover now !"
