"Careful" ,
"do not move Karan"
"Karan, can't you sit straight", 
"do not put pressure on your feet"
Teja kept saying this till they reached the X-ray room, and Karan as an obedient boy , without saying anything, followed her instructions.
They reached the X-ray room and Karan carefully lied down on the bed. The respective doctors came to take the X-ray so Teja was going out of the room, when Karan held her hand and stopped her.
"Umm....you are not staying here"
"You want me to stay here"
"Your wish"
"I will stay" Teja said and this brought a smile on Karan's face. He was nervous, and also fairly scared for the X-ray.
As the doctors started the process it was clear on Karan's face how scared he was . He closed his eyes tight and clenched his fist.
Teja saw this , she smiled as she could not believe this strong looking man could be scared of such a normal test. So to calm him down ,she held his hand.
Karan opened his eyes and saw Teja smiling at him.
"I'm not scared" Karan said while removing his hand from Teja's hold.
"But I am " Teja said innocently. She knew that Karan will never accept that he was scared .
Karan knew why Teja was doing this. Their was no use of hiding it from Teja so he made a nervous face and smiled at her.
Teja blinked her eyes, and rubbed his hand in  response
.
The test was done and Karan was waiting for the reports. Teja went to take the reports when one of her colleague asked 
" you are really good friends right"
Unlike earlier, this time Teja smiled and said "yes we are".
The reports came and Karan was called in Dr Suman's cabin where he was told that the injury will take one month to heal and one month of physiotherapy to come to normal. Karan was relieved that atleast he will be fit to play IPL by then.


"I'm so bored of staying at the same place from the past four days"
"Watch your favourite documentaries, series and movies, talk with your parents read books , there are so many things to do, how can you be bored"
"I'm doing that, I watched three movies, one web series and almost five documentaries till now. And how much should I talk with my parents even they are bored of me."
"Talk with your friends then, aren't they visiting you."
"No , they just call me daily but cannot find time to visit."
"Are you taunting me" 
"Maybe"
"By the way are you free on Sunday, I was thinking of meeting you."
"Now was this a taunt for me , I am free 24/7 now , you can come anytime."
"Fine then, Sunday it is" 


Teja reached Karan's home on Sunday evening. She was welcomed by Karan's mom .
"Hi aunty"
"Hi Teja how are you"
"I'm good, I hope that you are doing well too"
"Yes I am. Karan is upstairs, let me take you to his room."
"Isn't it inconvenient, him staying upstairs with the leg injury."
"It is surely inconvenient for me , he hardly comes down. Though we asked him to take the guest room, but I guess he loves his room way too much."
