I felt someone trying to wake me up by hitting me gently on my face and I slowly opened my eyes and saw David, he was holding one of my hands and gently massaging with his thumb and ensuring me that, I will be fine. Around him, there are a lot of nurses and one doctor rushing me to the surgery room through the wheel bed. It was very hard to control the physical pain.
"I..." startled.
"No, Riya! please lay down. You will be fine!" David said.
"I can't, It's hurting" I cried.
"Please, mam! Cooperate with us. You are in safe hands!" A nurse said to me while pushing the wheel bed.
They rushed me into a surgery room and everyone are ready to perform this operation. I don't know what's gonna happen to me after that.
They gave me some injections and immediately after 3-4 seconds I felt numb and sleepy, finally, I closed my eyes.
AFTER 1 HR.......
David and his assistant, bodyguards are waiting for the good news. then immediately the surgery room door is opened and the doctor and nurses are coming out while discussing something about the reports.
"Doctor, how is she now?" David asked the Male doctor.
"Umm, she is fine. But..."
"But..?" David sounds confused.
"She will wake up after some time, but how did it happen?"
David sighed and looked down at the floor.
"yeah, I don't know. I was out and I felt something strange happening in the house and when I checked in the house and there she is lying like a dead body."
"Oh, did you inform the police?"
"No"
"For god's sake, why? you could've done that earlier."
"Because I know how to handle things on my own!"
Doctor and nurse stared at each other for two seconds and they shifted their gaze to David again.
"Are you fucking crazy? huh? What you will do, if she died?" a nurse asked David.
"Do you know who I am?, I am David Winston"
The nurse gasped and said, "OMG!, are you?"
"Well, he is!!" Nick interrupted them.
"Sorry, sir! for my behavior, I shouldn't do like this."
"I don't want this discussion right now, I want Riya to be fine!"
"Yes, sir! she will be fine. There is nothing happened to her, she is fine and we did stitches on her stomach." Doctor said.
David got the call and he went away from them.
"Ok! If there is an update, please let us know!" Nick ordered the doctor and nurse.
"Sure, sir! We will" the nurse and doctor nodded and left hurrily.
"How did this happen?" David asked nick.
Nick turned towards him, where he was standing behind nick.
After talking with the gardener and I went home and saw Riya, she was lying on the floor and beside her, Claire and Rishab were standing.
"What happened, Exactly?" David asked to nick, very angrily.
"I went to her and she was bleeding and saw that she was stabbed and I saw that, rishab is holding--"
David groaned and he removed his blazer and loosened his tie.
"And?" David sounded angry.
"Claire was standing beside him"
David felt outraged at his words.
"And what did you do? Encouraging them!??"
"No... "
"You will be here and taking care of her, stay! Until I come here!!!" David commanded nick.
"Woah, Woah, Woah!! David, stop it!! You can't do this thing." nick followed David.
"I have to do and It's necessary! now shut the fuck up and follow me"
"Do you think, they are still there? waiting for you?huh?" nick smirked.
David rolled his eyes and waited for nick's answer.
"I called the police before letting you know the riya's position. They tried to escape but, you know right? there is tight security around the house. They captured them. Now they are in police custody."
Suddenly, one nurse came to David and said "Sir, she woke up. Asking for you!"
David felt surprised and entered the ICU.
"David...." I muttered.
"Riya! Oh my god, are you okay? how do you feel?" David asked me after sitting beside me on the bed.
"I'm fine!" and I looked straightly into David's eyes.
I can clearly say that he was waiting for me, and I saw the pain, love, and care in his eyes.
"I want to go home!" I said and hugged him immediately.
"Hey, hey, shush! shush! Riya! Calm down. I have spoken to the doctor, they said today they will discharge you!"
I smiled lightly.
"Can I..." David asked me while keeping his thumb on my lower lip.
I understood his intentions and I thought to piss him off.
"What?!" I asked angrily.
"Cool! Cool! I thought you like it, no offense!" he pissed.
Then I closed the gap between us by kissing him deeply.
"I love you..." David said while kissing my earlobe.
"Do I know you before?"
"Yes! I know you since you were 10 years old! And I have been waiting for you to come into my life, again!!" David said while looking deeply into my eyes.
I couldn't help, but smiled "how do you know me?"
"Because of your father, when I came to India for the first time, I and my family went to your house and had an amazing dinner, and we stayed a week at your house and explored more places, don't you remember?"
"No" I frowned.
"Hmm.."
"And..?"
"And, what?!"
"What is the connection between you and my dad?"
"Well, both of our fathers are close friends! and don't interrogate me like CBI!"
I laughed at his words.
"Okay! but I don't remember you at all! Is there any picture consisting of us?"
"Yes! I saved it" David pulled out his phone and showed it to me carefully.
I took it and felt amazed looking at the pictures.
"We look so cute! TOGETHER!" I smiled and scrolled to see more pictures.
"Hey, Am I interrupting you, guys?" A familiar sound came from the entrance of the room.
We looked, It was the doctor and nurse.
"Hey, Riya! How do you feel?" the doctor asked me.
"I'm fine, Thank you!" I smiled at both of them.
They nodded.
"Well, there is good news! you are discharging tonight and if you excuse me. I want to talk privately with your husband" the Doctor said while pointing at David.
"Husband?!"
"Yeah, well he is. Wasn't he?"
"UMM...no no. I am not his husband" David said with a chuckle.
I stopped laughing and tried to keep a serious face.
"OKAY! That's awkward!" I smirked.
The room is filled with our laughs...
To be continued!!!....
