"Why did you believe me?!"
For the first time, Aryan wanted to be genuine. just as she requested for! But nor did he think it was the right time and also was it not!!
"Cause I understand!" he said simply while also being genuine!
They kept staring into each other's eyes, "Cause you are a doctor?" she asked! But before even he could say anything or she could ask anymore, the door bell rang, making both of them look away from each, towards the door for a brief moment before returning back their gazes! "I will go see!" he said getting up, as he opened, Deep entered in! He brought the prescribed medicines along with the cane she just had asked for! Aryan smiled, and Tara just looked at Deep.
He handed her the cane and soon without thinking much she attempted to stand up only to check her condition but soon both the men stopped her in unison, "Don't!!"
Here they go again, "I am not deaf!!" she scoffed, and stopped trying to stand up!
"But you act like one!" said Deep as he handed the man the medicines and the prescription, with a shook, the woman ignored him.
"What exactly had happened?" she asked then.
Deep sighed and turned on the telivision, the news channel playing, answering every question of hers! Both Aryan and Tara listened curiously along with Deep who also hadn't had much information about what had happened!
Tara felt her blood boil in anger when she got to know that it was a criminal who had planned for it with personal motives, it was luck that everyone were safe, and he got arrested after the threatening call and being tracked down by cops, but what if the bomb blast had took lives away? There were children too!!
Deep and Aryan sighed at once, "I am proud of you!" said Deep making her look at him with a frown!
"You should be proud of someone who helped the one you are proud of!" said Tara!
Deep frowned and as soon as he realised what she meant, he looked at Aryan who gave him a blank expression, but the man still smiled at him as if praising him and Aryan just gave a bow!
"I am thinking of to stay here until..."
"You don't have to!" she cut him off before even he could complete!
"He said he will take care of me!" she added!
Deep's frown deepened, and Aryan stood with a sigh, "I will go get my things!" he said and giving both of them a nod, he left!
"What's happening?"
"He is moving in here!" said Tara!
Deep said nothing and kept staring her in disbelief, he didn't mind, cause he knew the woman never cared of what other's thought about her, but the fact that she was letting him in! She always used to push people away! First it was her accepting for the appointment and then choosing him as her doctor, and now letting him stay in her house! Everything just made him wonder in disbelief! But as he thought, she did right! Else, she wouldn't be changing her vision today! Whether or not did he accepted, there was his influence in this! In the change, which she silently craved from years!
"You did a right thing by choosing him!"
Tara chuckled, "You think I listen to him?" it came out as a statement instead.
Deep shook his head, "Perhaps!"
She took a deep breath, "It will also help him study me more!" Deep nodded in agreement!
They both kept watching telivision, and Tara almost rolled her eyes when the news had included her saving the children! Deep just smiled with a shook, and when Aryan had come back, Deep left as it was beginning to be dark!
"What will you eat?" Tara was suddenly taken aback by his question, who was lost watching news!
"You can cook?"
"Nothing's about can or not! It's just that I have to!!" he said with a shrug!
She nodded, "But I am not hungry!"
"But you are weak!" a brow raised, "And you even have to take medicines!"
She said nothing, she feared to have herself throwing up everything, but he had a point, if she wanted to heal faster, she needs the medicines!
He nodded at her as if understanding, "It will be nothing heavy! Just porridge for you!" she just stared him as he left for the kitchen and started to do what he knew! She kept staring him for minutes and wondered why he suddenly smiled with no reason as he worked, she with a shook, moved the wheel chair to the dining table along with the diary still in her hand! She again found herself staring the last page, she had just written on! Her finger stroking the written word 'changed'.
Aryan almost had to stop himself from laughing when he saw her difficulty in cooking when he had touched the pan and few dishes! This woman, from the beginning she is letting him see weird things, though what he saw were always weird, her case was different! Sometimes he saw her in pain and sometimes her visions, and now the memories of things in her house! And at the same time, he also wondered at himself while cooking! It was the very first time he was spending time with someone, so much that he had now moved in to someone else's house! What was this woman making him do? Now he really feared about the vision, the one he saw her seeing! Though it's not happening yet, it wondered him, he hoped it will remain the same!!
After minutes, he was done, and when he reached the table, placing the bowl near her, he found her lost in that diary. her finger settling on words she wrote! He took a seat beside her, "Tara!" he called out gently!
She looked up at him, almost surprised, for some reason he didn't know!
"Have it!" he said nodding towards the bowl, she said nothing and did what he said, her brows pulled together as she nodded satisfied, "You cook well!!", he smiled! She saw him having fried rice for himself, too bad that he was having all of it for himself, she grabbed a spoon and had a bit of taste, of it before he even could start his meal! Aryan looked up in surprise. She smiled mischievous and he shook his head, seeing this side of her for the first time, "Do you like it?"
She bobbed her head, "You cook well! It feels like.... home!" she admitted honestly! Both went silent for a moment staring each other in pause before she continued to have the porridge looking down! He looked down too, "You can have it if you like!" he said!
"No need!" she said!
He said nothing more about that and questioned her about something else making her look up, "Why were you staring the book?"
She looked at the diary again before looking back at him, "I am happy!"
Happy? He still can barely see her smile, but her eyes....they indeed had that smile, so he guessed she really was!
And again the silence continued until he finished and looked up at her only to find her already emptied bowl and a deep frown on her face!
"What are you thinking about?"
She raised her head, pausing for a moment before she can speak! "Why is it only me who is having such an ability?"
