Haniya's POV:-

"Ahh!!" I squinted my eyes as I tried to move but couldn't. It was as if there is no strength left in me.

My arm was hurting badly as it was the same arm which got injured when I last got into the accident. My waist was still burning because of the cuts.

"Haniya!" His voice pierced through my ears. As I opened my eyes I saw his watery eyes staring at me.

I found myself in a hospital room wearing a hospital gown. My arm was bandaged as well.

"Shayaan!" A tear rolled down my waterline as his name came out like a soft whisper.

He was sitting there near the hospital bed just like before. He had the same hurtful gaze just like before, but this time it was worse. For a moment I forgot to blink. He made me sit and while he was doing that I felt a tear droplet fell from his eye and dropped on my hand. I looked up at him but he looked away and sat near me on the bed.

"I don't deserve to love you Haniya! I couldn't save you. I'm useless" He hung his head low as he sighed deeply wiping the tear stains from his cheek.

You were my only saviour!

"Shayaan! Look at me" I extended my hand hoping for him to curl his fingers around it.

He looked up at me and held my hand in his and in a mere instant he intertwined our fingers. His lips made contact with my hand as he planted a soft kiss at the back of my hand making my heart do a backflip.

How I never noticed that our hands fit so perfectly as if they are made for eachother.

"You saved me Shayaan. You were the only one who fought with them, who didn't even give a single thought about the wounds you will get. I don't know If you wouldn't have came at that mere instant, what they would have done to me. I was helpless and you came like a super hero" I said giving a small smile as I pressed his hand assuringly.

"But these bruises and your wounds are killing me inside, I love you enough to see you like this!" He touched the bruises over my neck making me shut my eyes. His hand was trembling and eyes showing guilt for something which was not his fault.

He cupped my face and took a sigh as his hands slipped away. My heart was thumping inside my chest and eyes pooled up as also I couldn't see him like this.

I need your warmth around me. I need you to comfort me and tell me that you will make everything perfect again. I just need you Shayaan.

"That guy was saying that you are a flirt so I misbehaved with him at the Annual Party. He just took his revenge!" I looked down.

"Why exactly you misbehaved with him? Who am I? The one who became the reason for your misery and pain? I would have taken his breath away only If Sir Jacob had not stopped me" Shayaan said with a hurtful expression and I could see him clenching his jaw as he huffed out a breath.

Because....

"Remember, you once asked me what kind of a guy I want?" I asked ignoring what he said and he nodded in response still not looking at me.

"Let me tell you that I want a guy like you. A guy who can cry for me, the one who can feel the pain I am feeling, the one who can love me like you do!" I said in my shaky voice and he instantly looked up at me not believing my words.

"But a guy like me doesn't deserve a girl like you bookworm! You deserve much better" He shook his head.

"But I don't want anyone else! I want you Shayaan, I want only you!." I took a sigh and continued.

"I'm trapped, trapped into your love and I don't want to escape" I hicupped as tears fell down.

Hug me please! Let me know that you are here for me just like you were always there. I'm so shattered and hurt right now that I can't set myself! I want you to pick me up.

Shayaan limped closer and wrapped his arms around my neck calming my heart, removing all the pain I was bearing and making me feel safe.

"I love you Shayaan. I love you so much! There is no one who can love me this much" I hugged him back even though pain shoot through my arm but at that moment I just needed his embrace.

"I love you more. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me Haniya. Now as you claimed me yours I promise I won't let anyone come near you, I won't let anyone hurt you" He said with a shaky voice as he pulled me closer to himself in a way that my head was resting against his heart. His heart beat was giving me the proof of his words and the proof of his Love.

He pulled back and kissed my forehead as my eyes flutter shut. I sighed feeling complete, It was the best feeling I had ever experienced. At that moment I felt all my pain fading away.

...

Shayaan's POV:-

"Life is worth living and loving. I love you and thats how I'm gonna spend my life! By always loving you. My bookworm." I said losing myself in her shining eyes. It was the moment I could replay every second. The moment I was craving for.

You completed me! I'll never let you go. I will keep you safe and in my heart forever. I promise to make myself deserving.

"Finally my charm worked on you! I'm born awesome" I flipped my collars with a proud look trying to make her laugh.

"Self obsessed much?" She narrowed her eyes at me as she chuckled.

"The truth is that my hidden cuteness worked on you" she made a kissy face.

"Now who is being self obsessed?" I narrowed my eyes as I poked her tummy.

"Learning from the pro!" She pointed at me and we both laughed.

I can give my life, just to see this smile on your face. A smile brighter than sun.

The door of the hospital room opened and the doctor came for her check up along with Sir Jacob.

"How are you feeling Haniya?" Sir Jacob asked as he looked at her worriedly.

"Much better Sir!" She smiled and looked in my way.

"Ummm! she can go home now. You have to take care of her young man, make sure she don't feel alone because it will increase her depression level. She is mentally desturbed. Make sure to change the bandage on her arm regularly" The doctor who was checking Haniya's pulse instructed me.

"Hope you will get well soon honey!" She patter Haniya's cheek lovingly.

"Thank You!" She smiled at her.

"Nurse help her change her dress and yeah Sir come with me to sign the papers and ya'all are free to go!" She instructed the nurse and left taking Sir Jacob along.

"Come!" The nurse came and helped Haniya to stand up. They started walking towards the attatched bathroom when I moved closer.

"If you need help I'm there. I swear I will keep my eyes shut!" I whispered with a smirk and her eyes went wide.

I hope the nurse didn't hear that.

"Shut up!" She knitted her eyebrows as she glared at me making me hush up instantly.

"Just kidding bookworm!" I raised my hands in air acting defeated and she chuckled. The nurse also let out a laugh on our craziness.

"You never fail to make me smile no matter what the situation is!" She smiled at me making my heart beat rise.

"But I don't have clothes, my shirt was torn" She said to the nurse as she shut her eyes and took a sigh. She shuddered visibly thniking about that horrific incident. I walked upto her and hugged her from behind.

"Don't think about it Haniya!" I sighed snuggling closer to her. My grip hurted her arm as she let out a shriek.

"I'm sorry!" I said as I let go of her.

"I brought your clothes from your room. Just change and we will go home?" I said and she nodded even though there was still a little moisture in her eyes.

They went inside and I sat on the hospital bed waiting for them. My leg would pain after few minutes every now and then but it was bearable. After 5 minutes she came outside and after thanking the nurse we headed outside and took the elevator to reach the ground floor where Sir Jacob was waiting for us. Haniya took the back seat whereas I sat on the passanger seat.

"I think you should stay in Shayaan's apartment. I'm sure he will take care of you." Sir Jacob said while looking at Haniya as he started the car.

"I will be fine in my dorms Sir!" She refused the offer and I mentally groaned.

"You will definietly not be fine there. I can't take any risk. I'm not letting you go and you are coming with me. Thats's final, no excuses!" I said glaring at her and she smiled mouthing an OK.

"Over protectiveness!" Sir Jacob gave a mischievious grin and I looked away feeling shocked, giving a nervous laugh.

"She is my best friend Sir!" I defended myself but he smirked still looking at the road.

"So you think you can hide Mister Shayaan?" He said and my eyes popped out whereas Haniya giggled at my expressions.

He knows? OMG he knows!! She also know that he knows. Evil Alert!

"Well I'm glad that you guys are together!" He smiled looking my way.

"Thank You Sir!" I replied.

Soon we reached the apartment. The night sky was full of stars shining perfectly. We came out of the car and after thanking Sir Jacob we headed inside.

"Take some rest. Please don't stress yourself ok?" I said as I helped her lay on the bed and she nodded in response.

I hurriedly went outside stumbling a little and brought a glass of water. Taking her medicines in my hand I extended my hand and she took them. She was about to hold the glass when I brought it closer to her lips. She took the medicines and gulped the water down her throat as if she has been thirsty since ages.

In just one day you have become so weak and so silent. I want my bookworm back.

I switched off the lights of the guest room and only the bed side lamp was open which was spreading its light on her beautiful face as she laid on her bed lost somewhere. Her breath was still uneven and I saw a tear tracing down her eye.

"Hey! Why are you crying?" I got panicked and whispered as I wiped away the tear.

"Shayaan! People will judge me, they will think that I'm weak, they will feel pity for me" she said in her shaky voice and something cringed inside me. It was my heart.

"Look. Don't care about what people will say. Don't shed these tears Haniya, they are precious. You have to stay strong and hopeful for those who love you!" I said as I cupped her face.

"Hmm!" She gave a small smile and just then I connected my lips to her cheek as I planted a soft kiss there.

"What was that?" She gasped with wide eyes.

"Good night kiss!" I winked and she blushed looking hella adorable.

Ahhh my poor heart!

I shut the lamp close and was about to move forward when she held my hand.

"Don't go! Stay with me?" Her melodious voice echoed in the room.

"Ok!" I nodded and went towards the other side of the bed and sat there.

She got up from her lying position and placed her head in my lap. I froze at my place as soon as she held my hand in hers and intertwined our fingers. My eyes welled up suddenly and I took a deep sigh to calm my heart.

This is all I ever wanted.

"I feel safe near you" she murmured.

"I will keep you safe!" I mouthed and started runing my fingers through her silky hair.

She fell asleep.The moon light coming from the window striked her face giving her a heavenly glow. I kept looking at her as I carassed her cheek with my hand, It was as if she was the most beautiful thing my eyes could look at. I wanted the time to stop right there so that I could hold her like this, look at her like this for eternity.

I moved her head from my lap to the pillow and placed the quilt over her body and sat there near her, lost in her fragile soul. I held her hand in mine and kissed it softly as I rested our mingled hands on my heart feeling the happiest person alive.

.

Next Morning...

Haniya's POV :-

The sunlight coming from the window woke me up. I tried to get up but my hand was stuck in Shayaan's hand who was holding it firmly. He was resting his head on the bed rest while he was peacefully asleep, lost in the world where pain doesn't exist.

Selena! You were right. Love is something which words can't explain.

His mouth was open slightly. I closed his mouth with my other hand and after a minute it again got open.

"Idiot! My idiot" I smiled shaking my head. Just then I noticed he was still sitting cross legged facing me in the same way he was last night.

You forgot that your leg is injured too. You suppressed your own pain inside you just to be there for me.

I moved closer and kissed his cheek avoiding to wake him up. It was the first time I was kissing a guy so butterflies were having kung fu in the pit of my tummy.

He stirred a little in his sleep and after a minute opened his eyes and looked at me with a smile.

"Morning beautiful!" He yawned and looked down releasing my hand as he bit his tongue.

"Oops! Sorry! When did you wake up?" He frowned looking at me.

"Few minutes back!" I smiled and looked down.

How do he manage to look this cute with his morning smile and messy hair?

"Go freshen up and I'll bring breakfast for you. Its already 9" He said looking at his wrist watch. I nodded and got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom.

I was about to enter when I heard Shayaan's painful moan. He got up standing straight and as he took another step he fell down on the marble tiles. I rushed to him and by taking his hand in my neck I helped him to sit on the bed.

"Why you don't care about your own pain? I'm feeling so selfish of myself for last night" I said as a tear rolled down my eye.

"Its not because of you! Don't worry bookworm its gonna be perfect. As I didn't move it much in a while thats why it is hurting!" He assured me by pressing my hand and I nodded.

"I will just call my servent to bring breakfast for us" he said and I again headed to the washroom.

My heart was beating fast for some odd reasons. Sliding my fingers under my shirt I touched the cuts on my waist and tears fell down.

They are gonna leave scars too.

I then touched my neck and cried harder on the fact that he touched me and that too so harshly that It left scars on my body. That guy doesn't deserve to be called a human.

My eyes were red as I looked in the mirror. I felt so weak as if my body will collapse any minute.

Only if you were not there for me Shayaan I wouldn't be able to survive a minute longer after what that retarded person did to me. Why do you love me so much?

"Hey? Haniya are you ok?" I heard Shayaan's voice and hurriedly wiped my tears.

If you are there with me then I am.

"I'm fine!" I mouthed and after washing my face I went outside.

I saw a young boy applying some medicines on his wounded leg while the breakfast was placed at the bed side table containing sandwitches and juice.

"He is Justin! He work for me. He is a gardener, a chef and most importantly a great friend." Shayaan introduced him to me and I mouthed a "Hi" to him.

"How are you feeling Ma'am?" He smiled as he asked.

"Much better!" I smiled back and he nodded.

After he was done he went outside and Shayaan and I ate the breakfast.

"Thank you Shayaan for being there for me!" I said as I sat on the bed facing him.

"You have always got my back my bookworm. I will always love you no matter what!" He mouthed and wrapped his arms around me. I hugged him back and snuggled in the crook of his neck not wanting to let him go.
