"Oh.. god.." Krishna was half bend holding his stomach trying to catch his breath after his round of hysterical laughter
"I knew you would say something outrageous but I never thought you would take it to this extend."
"What..? I'm serious Krishna."
"I'm serious too..."He smiles placing both his hands on my shoulder
Aaahhhh..!! That idiot always thinks he's above others
I come back from my little night mare and notice that people near me are looking at me funny. Probably because I was standing there alone staring into space one moment and then stamping my feet and breathing through my mouth the next. It has been almost a week since Dr half-wits so called love proclamation. And if there's any thing worse than hell that's what I experienced in the past week. I get sucked back to that day again without realising.
"Krishna I'm serious!" I say rounding the table to stand in front of him
"I'm serious too..." He places both his hands on my shoulder looking at me with a smile. The smile seemed so genuine and out of place that I stayed transfixed in my place without breaking our eye contact
"I--- one minute..." Whatever he planned to say was cut off as his phone started ringing. I take a step away from him as he drops his hand to take the call
What is wrong with you Jia?! You should had slapped his hands away not stood there like a statue..!! Oh.. god my brain is fused
"Hello? Yes sir... Ya I'll be right there. Yes." He cuts the call and faces a internal rambling me
"I have to rush. They need me at the ICU." He says picking up his coat from the chair that he had placed when he entered
"You eat something before getting back to work. Ok? We both know you can't function if glucose level is low." He goes on while walking towards the door
"And... I'm serious about what I told just now... I hope you think about it more seriously." He says with his hands on the door knob
"Take your time. But I really hope you give me a second chance." He again give me that cursed smile of his before getting out and closing the door behind him
I tug my hair feeling my frustration built up in me
"Hy.. And next time you bluff. Give a bit more thought into it." He pops his head in with a smirk
Aaahhh...!
I let out another audible groan tightening my grip on the rails. In the past few days he had tortured the living day light out of me. Even after repeatedly telling him that it wasn't a bluff and I was really engaged he refused to believe and kept on with his unwanted advance. For the past week I was greeted daily morning with some or the other type of treat on my table. He even went out of his way to help me with my patient chart.
Finally after a long week of dealing with his nonsense I had taken the day off and come to the mall with Eddie but his thoughts just kept intervening in between not letting me relax.
I checked my watch once again. Eddie was gone for a good half-hour now. We both had come to Charagah without any specific plans for a date. So when Eddie suggested going to watch a movie I was more than happy to compile. After all what better way to get your thoughts unclogged than a action thriller movie. But soon after we had bought our tickets and popcorn Eddie had got a phone call from his client who happened to be near by and wanted to meet him urgently.
Eddie had then vanished promising to be back in 20 minutes leaving me to alone with my traitor of a mind who kept taking me back to that day on and on.
"Hy..." I turn around expecting to see a apologetic Eddie behind me only to find a devil with a smirk on
"Sam told me it's your day off. I never expected to see you here." He said digging into my popcorn.
Did I just conjure him..? Am I hallucinating...? Why the hell is he here?!
"Hello..? Jia...? You here?" He waves he's hand in front of my face breaking my trans
"How did you find me?" I ask suspecting that he had followed us since Grayson hills.
"Ohh... I was on the first floor and heard this noise coming from above and when I looked up... You were just standing there chocking the railing to death." He smirked holding back his chuckle
"So I thought you were thinking of me. And decided to say hi so that you wouldn't have to miss me so much on your day off.." He chuckled a few times before raising his hand to pick another hand full of popcorn
"Who said I was thinking about you?" I slap his hand off the popcorn not letting him take it
"Ow... Then what were you thinking about?" He asked with a pout nursing his hand
"That-- that's non of your business..." I say in a slightly higher pitched tone clearing my throat
"Bluff... You should really practice looking in a mirror before lying." He tucks his hands into his pocket with a smirk
"You---" I see red and just want to wipe that smirk of his face with a bat
"Jia!" I turn around towards the source of voice to see a panting Eddie jog towards me
"I'm so sorry I made you wait...." Eddie says taking the popcorn in one hand and linking his finger through mine and giving me a apologetic smile which I return
"Dr Das..?" Eddie looks at the 3rd person that I had forgotten for a moment
"Hy...." Krishna greets through a plastered smile that looked very forced compared to his natural smirk
"Wait. You guys know each other..?" I ask looking at the 2 men
"Ya. We have meet." Eddie replies
"Ohh... Ok." I nod smiling
"And you two?" This time it was Krishna who had asked the question
"Oh.. I forgot to officially introduce. This is Jia, my fiancée." Eddie introduces me to Krishna
"Hi.." Krishna greets me with a more forced smile now
"Then I'll see you guys." Krishna waves a goodbye as he leaves us and makes his way towards the elevator
