Vidhi was fast asleep. Ashma was lying on her back, staring at the roof. She was in pain. Her knee was throbbing hard. She couldn't sleep. She couldn't even toss and turn on the bed due to pain. She slowly landed her feet on the ground and got up from the bed. She looked at her mother to check that she didn't disturb her sleep.
She tried getting up but her knees refused to support her. She sat down immediately. Slowly she put pressure on her knees and stood up. She flinched, closed her eyes tightly and took in all the pain. Limping, she came out of her room and stealthily closed the door of the room.
The footlight was on. Steadily she moved towards the terrace. She climbed the stairs one at a time and reached the terrace. She halted in her path when she saw Young-Soo already sitting on the swing.
Young-Soo's eyes fell on her and he stopped the swing with his feet. He got up and came running towards her but hesitated to touch her. "Are you okay?" he asked.
