" Raj", said Kenny weakly.
" Kenny", Kiara said. " Grace".
Grace came running.
" She is awake", said Kiara.
" Thank Jesus", said Grace. " Someone get Dr. Khurana", she hollered.
A wardboy ran.
Ro came in a couple of minutes.
" Grace blood pressure and sugar", he said
Grace had all machines arranged.
" Raj", she said again. " How is he"?
" Alive", said Ro
" Unfortunately ", muttered Myra under her breath.
" Can I see him", she asked. Then she asked suddenly, " Rahul"?
" Kenny both of them are fine", said Ro.
" Stitches, broken bones,scratches, dislocated joints..a norm for our Raj",.
" Can I see him", she asked.
" How do you feel. You scared us all", said Ro. " You were out for last two days. Your sugar dripped drastically", he said.
" A bit of headache", she said.
" Maybe meeting him is not a good idea", he said.
" Please", she said.
Ro sighed. " Fine", he said.
Raj was on his bed. Thirteen stitches on his head, dislocated shoulder, two broken ribs , bruised face, his eye was saved by mm. Plus a hairline fracture in leg he pretty much was broken everywhere. He was reading a financial report.
Ro entered.
" How do you feel", he asked.
Raj shrugged.
" How is she ", he asked.
" Awake and asking for you" , replied Ro.
He got up suddenly.
" Aah", he wailed.
" Relax moron. Avoid jerks if you don't want to spend rest of your life in wheelchair", said Ro angrily.
" Sorry" , said Raj. " Lets go".
He walked slowly . He went to her room. She was out of ICU last night.
" Kenny", he slowly brreathed in her scent sinking his face in her neck. " Sorry", he muttered.
" Girls please give us some time", she pleaded.
Myra stomped her foot and left. Kiara rolled her eyes. Shai said an expletive or two and left.
Grace glared.
"Try not to excite her and get out soon", she said and left.
" Raj", she said weakly.
She felt a warm liquid trickling down her neck. HE WAS CRYING.
She took his face in her hands and wiped his tears.
" I hurt you again", he hicupped.
" Ssshh", she softly kissed his face. " I love you", she said.
" I know I don't deserve you but I cannot breath. I think one day you will leave me", he said.
" Never", she said. " What did you do to him"?
" He is alive", he said.
Kenny breathed a sigh of relief. NOT FOR LONG HE THOUGHT.
" I can hear you think", she whispered.
" He was mauling you, forcing himself on you. Deny that ", he got angry.
" Sorry it happened all of a sudden. I could not stop him. But I feel nothing for him Raj. We both had a sh*tty childhood. Hence we bonded. You should stop breathing fire like a dragon every time you see us together", said Kenny.
" Love is a sea of fire Kenny. And to cross it we must swim submerged in it", said Raj.
" THAT CURSE I WILL PUT MY LIFE AT STAKE TO PREVENT IT", she thought.
" I can hear you too", he whispered.
" Its pretty inconvenient ", she pouted. He laughed then moaned in pain.
" Oh Raj", she kissed him again.
Marry me beautiful he thought. I want it right now.
She giggled.
Yes she thought.
" Kenny I am serious. B*stard can control minds. Even Gautam was not immune", he said.
" My soul, body and heart belongs to you", she kissed his chest. Aditya please calm down she thought as she nuzzled to him like a kitten.
" YOU ARE MINE DHARA", a voice spoke in her head.
She smooched Raj. He deepened the kiss as his hands slipped inside her nightgown. She moaned in his mouth . His hands move south on her belly. He started l*cking her neck.
" Time to leave:, said Myra entering.
Raj was hugging her.
" Have decency to knock", he chided.
" You and decency", she smirked. " Perfect antonymns".
" What is your problem with me", asked Raj.
" Pretty much everything related to you", she said.
" I agree", said Shai entering the room. " You are very easy to hate".
" Go to your bed and take your medicines ", said Grace. " She needs to rest now".
Raj nodded and staryed to leave. Kiara followed him.
" Raj", she said.
" Yes", he said.
" Your path is still thorny but now I can see the light. Waiting for you. Put your learnings to a good use", she said.
" Kiara", he said.
She shook her head.
Raj's eyes shot up.
" You need that sword", she said. " A lock is about to be opened."
Aditi he thought.
He nodded.
" All the best", said Kiara as she left.
Meanwhile
" Rahul was hurt too", said Myra.
" I don't want to see him", said Kenny.
" He choked him", said Myra.
" He forced himself on me. Raj is my boyfriend ", she shrugged. " Rahul is confused. I am hurting him unnecessarily ".
" She is right Myra", said Kiara as she walked in. " I saw in my dream that you got married to Raj", she said holding her sister's hand.
Kenny blushed.
" Rest", said Grace as Kenny took her medicines.
Meanwhile
Raj was on a call.
" Mr. Verma I heard Mr. Mishra hired your firm for the financial analysis", he said.
" Yes his highness".
" I would like Finalytics to audit Bhishma too. I will make others aware of it. I will pay you well",said Raj. " I want you personally ".
" As you wish your highness" , said Mr. Verma.
Ro was looking at Rahul's chart as he stared in the horizon.
" You are fine", he said. " I shall discharge you tomorrow".
" Thank God", said Rakesh.
" How is she", asked Rahul.
Ro sighed.
" She is awake", he said.
" I want to see her", he said.
" Bad idea", said Ro.
" Why? He is there with her. B*stard", said Rahul.
" He is her boyfriend ", said Ro angrily. " He is supposed to be there. They love each other. Back off".
" I love her too", said Rahul.
" You forced that kiss which triggered him. Look kid he is very dangerous. You don't want to be on his bad side", said Ro.
" She did not stop the kiss. We were in love both of us too. She is confused. And I am already on his bad side. I don't care how dangerous he is. I am equally dangerous too", said Rahul.
" You are just delirious ", said Ro.
" About him", said Rahul.
" About love", said Ro. " When she chose him its over for you. Search elsewhere ".
" That is too fickle doctor. If you love a person you fight for them", said Rahul.
" That is stupidity", said Ro.
" Love makes you stupid", said Rahul.It makes you swim across a sea of fire. We both live her. Let us see who wins the right to be her husband. I am not letting go. HE DOES NOT DESERVE HER".
Ro stared at the ĺad.
A sea of fire danced in his eyes.
The road ahead is bumpy Raj he thought..
" Rest", he said to Rahul and left.
