I lifted my head and inched closer to his face as my heartbeat quickened. "Do you know what I have thought all these four days? Why should you hear those last words? Why should I say I didn't love you? You could have stayed for more time and argued with me and pulled me into your arms. I am so stupid to utter such harsh words. But Kartik, I did not mean any of those words. You are the most loved person in this Empire. Everyone is missing your presence. From the lowest ranked guards to the top ranked Gautam everyone is going crazy without you. We need you Kartik."

I bent down slowly to his face and placed a small peck close to his lips. "I love you, Kartik. The princess has finally found a prince in the Boss."

I felt his fingers move in my hand and I instantly looked at his face with a smile.

Just kidding! He did not move. It was my fingers and I moved it for a feel. But it would be so nice if it was real.

"Dude, you have to wake up now. It's my first kiss, I mean technically first kiss for someone sleeping. If you would exclude my ducks as they are animals." I snuggled close to him and found my solace in his presence.

I didn't want to close my eyes and lose this moment, the memory of Kartik being so close to me without any disturbance. Ah! This is what heaven feels like, isn't it?

"I will wait for you, Kartik. There is no hurry. You and I are not going anywhere. We have a long life ahead of us, I have to hear your heartbeat matching mine." I can stare at him forever.

Knock knock

There it goes. Romantic moment destroyers entering in my life as I just got into a relationship.

I stood up setting my dress properly and asked him to get inside the room. He came inside with a troop of doctors who monitored Kartik's pulse points.

"When will Kartik wake up, Doctor?" I questioned with curiosity.

"We can't say anything about it. As of now it's a luck that he is alive after getting 12 stabs in his body." The doctor said with a serious expression.

"Are you even a doctor? Can't you tell when a patient wakes up? I need a date and time along with minutes and seconds. Right now." I ordered.

"And who are you? Are you a doctor?" The doctor questioned me.

"I am more than that, I am a fashion ology surgeon. I have successfully performed internal organs surgeries on many people. My Kartik was walking well until you all entered his life. Heck, did you even check his internal organs? You people just check his pulse points and eat all the money without bringing any improvement in his health. Four days? It is taking four days for you and still you are unable to speak anything. He did not eat any proper meal all these days and his mitochondria would be affected by now, dammit! His skin is still bluish on the wounds and he needs chlorophyll to balance the stomata of his organs."

My warnings were incomplete as Gautam kept his palm over my mouth preventing me to speak further.

The team of doctors looked at me with their mouths open. "I am lost at the first word you said, Guru. I have to revise from my primary school books to get normal after your vocabulary."

They began walking out in a trance as Gautam stopped them and only one of them stopped and turned behind. "I doubt if I am even a doctor, AUB. I hope we can meet soon but that please don't call me when this Guru is present. I beg you."

He ran away leaving us in the room.

Gautam removed his hand from my face and I anticipated scolding’s from him but to my surprise he was laughing holding his stomach.

"You are something else. You made the highest ranked doctors run away with your knowledge. This is the first time I am laughing in these five years." He hardly spoke these words between his laugh.

"What happened five years ago?" I asked a wrong question and his laugh stopped.

He went back to his serious mode. "Your time is up. Now go to your room."

Gautam shut Kartik's door and we walked silently through the floor. But I am an over thinker so it's impossible for my mind to stay calm as questions ran in my head. Unable to control myself I finally questioned Gautam.

"Why was Kartik unable to defend himself when those attackers stabbed him? Everyone knows he never missed a single bullet and he is a sharp shooter."

"Exactly. Kartik is a sharp shooter but not trained in using combat knives. Menon Empire armory has all kinds of guns but never a knife." He said seriously and another set of questions raised in my head.
