Chapter – 11

Third Person's POV

Rishav was following the check out formalities of the hotel when Hiya told him she would wait for him in the car.

Rishav knew the reason why Hiya wanted to enter the car before him. Because she wanted to take the medicine. She thinks no one is aware of her this habit. But Rishav already knows and he has also informed her uncle.

After some minutes Rishav entered the car and as he was expected Hiya was searching her handbag with a panicked expression. As if she has lost her most valuable thing.

Rishav didn’t give any attention to her. Sitting in the car he ordered the driver to start driving. Hearing this Hiya shouted “Noo!”

RISHAV : What do you mean no? Did you forget we have to reach the airport? We have a flight to catch.

Rishav said very innocently, as if, he has no clue why Hiya was saying no.

HIYA : No, I have to go to the hotel room.

Hiya was going to open the door of the car when Rishav stopped her by holding her hand.

RISHAV : Hiya! What are you doing? We have checked out from the hotel. You can not go to the room. Why do you need to go there? Have you left something?

HIYA : Yes…Yes.

RISHAV : What?

Hiya didn’t understand what would she say to Rishav. She didn’t want to let anyone know about this medicine. She thought Rishav already knows about the sleeping pills. She couldn’t let him also know about these anti-anxiety pills. Her doctor had already prohibited her to take these pills. But she has been taking these for years without anyone's notice that she thought. She didn’t have the idea that Rishav already knew about it and he also informed her uncle about it.

But they all didn’t have the idea that the medicines Hiya takes every time whenever she travels or at the time of sleeping, are neither sleeping pills nor anti-anxiety pills. Those are just multivitamin tablets. If they knew they would not worry so much about her health. Even Hiya doesn’t have any idea about it. Maybe if Hiya finds out about it that will be a problem.

When Rishav noticed Hiya didn’t reply to him, she was in thought. He ordered the driver to drive and not to stop the car.

Hiya realized the car has started moving, she hurriedly was going to open the door when again Rishav stopped her and scolded her.

RISHAV : are you mad? Can't you see the car is moving?

HIYA : stop the car! I need to go to the room.

Hiya asked the driver to stop the car. But the driver didn’t as Rishav had instructed.

Hiya pleaded Rishav “ Please, Rishav…please understand. I have to go there. I have left a very important thing. I can’t travel without it.”

RISHAV : What is it? What is so important thing, tell me?

Hiya knew she had no other option than to tell Rishav.

HIYA : My medicines…

RISHAV : we can buy it later…you don't need the sleeping pills now…

HIYA : No no no…it’s not sleeping pills…it’s Anti-anxiety pills.

Hiya said apprehensively. She thought Rishav would shout at her. But surprisingly Rishav didn’t shout at her instead he talked with her very gently.

RISHAV : Hiya, you have to stop taking those medicines. You are becoming addicted to it. Nothing will happen will happen. I am here for you.

But Hiya was not in the condition to hear Rishav's advice. There was one thing roaming on her mind ‘I have not taken the medicine. I will have a panic attack. I will not able to breathe.’

Continuously she was telling Rishav to stop the car she needed to find the medicine. Rishav was a little frightened seeing Hiya's condition. Hiya was saying the same thing like a broken radio tape. She was also rubbing her sweating palms. Rishav thought maybe he has taken a big risk but he was also adamant to help Hiya.

Rishav tried to talk with her. Tried to divert her attention but nothing worked. So finding no option he did what he should not have done. During their stay, he has gotten attracted to her. He started to care for her more. He knew he should not. Their relationship will never work. The contract, her mother, and everyone will be against their relationship if this fake relationship becomes real.

When Hiya didn’t stop her blabbering Rishav first closed the divider between the driver and them, then he closed the distance between them. Hiya’s mind was too occupied to notice these things. Hiya came back in reality when she felt one pair soft, warm lips on hers. Hiya was too shocked to react. Her body froze when she felt Rishav hands were wondering over her body. When they were almost out of breathe Rishav left Hiya's lips and whispered in Hiya's ear “It’s ok…close your eyes and sleep.” He didn’t let go Hiya…throughout the journey he held Hiya in his embrace. Hiya stayed in his embraced like a statue.

Even in the plane, when Hiya didn’t do anything and quietly complete the journey, Rishav was happy about that but he was also ashamed of his did. He was ashamed that without Hiya's permission he kissed her and touched her a little inappropriately. He was more ashamed that he wanted to do it more and he liked the kiss. He was very ashamed of himself.

Same with Hiya, throughout the journey she didn’t have any panic attack or got tensed because her mind was occupied with the kiss and Rishav's touch. She was ashamed and disgusted of herself that she enjoyed the kiss. She liked his touch. Instead of pushing him or slapping him she stayed in his embrace quietly. She was enjoying his warmth. She was very disgusted by herself. She was afraid of her growing feeling towards Rishav. Both Rishav and Hiya we’re afraid of their growing feeling toward each other. They were completely unaware of each other's thoughts and feelings.
