Hi my lovely readers. How are you all?

First of all a very happy Diwali to you all. May god fulfill all your wishes and give you all prosperous life.

Well I am doing fine and hope you all are too.

I don't have much to say today but I am overwhelmed by the response I am getting from you all. Trust me it means a lot to me.

So without taking much of your time let's start with the update.

Akash's POV

When I opened my eyes today, the first thing I wanted to see and know if my angel was fine or not. As soon as my eyes met her's I took a sigh of relief. She was fine, standing in front of me. This is what I always want for her, to always be safe and sound. She means the whole world to me. I can't let anything happen to her at any cost.

The way she feeded me and took care of me, I know she cares for me and I am happy that she showed it to me today.

For the first time in my life, my name was sounding so good to my ears when she took it. That is why I asked her to call me by my name.

The best part of the whole accident, she herself gave me her no. I knew she would give it to me someday herself when she trusts me enough and my happiness has no bounds when I know that she trusts me.

Sid decided to stay with me the whole night. He told that he would skip college for a week but I didn't want to be the reason for his studies to get affected.

Singhania uncle just entered my ward when he came to know that I was conscious now.

He also advised Sid that he can go to college in the morning and while he's attending college, uncle would take care of me.

Sid was apprehensive at first, but then I forced him and he agreed.

I saw my angel's no. on my phone and I suddenly had the urge to call her and listen to her voice but then I decided against it.

A text won't harm right?

I was just contemplating to text her or not when I heard my phone ping.

'How are you' it read. It was from Siya.

My happiness knew no bound. I just wanted to scream at the top of my voice but then decided against it, I was in hospital and I didn't wanted to give anybody an impression that I've gone mad.

'I am fine, you still awake?' I sent.

I saw that she was just typing and typing and suddenly she stopped typing.

My heart dropped. I thought that she don't want to talk to me. As soon as I was about to keep the phone down, I heard my notification tone and when I opened it, my eyes came out of the socket.

'I was worried about you' she sent.

She was worried for me. I was on cloud nine.

I decided to take the next step.

'Why' I asked.

'Coz I really care for you' she sent.

'Why do you care' I asked her.

'Coz you are in this situation because of me' she sent.

Here goes the blame game again.

'Listen if you ever say that or think again, I won't talk to you' I sent.

'Okay, I am sorry. I won't ever say that again' she sent.

'I'll come to see you tomorrow morning' she sent the next message.

My heart skipped a beat. My angel will be coming tomorrow to see me. But what about her college?

I thought I'll discuss with her once she comes tomorrow.

'Okay' I typed and sent it.

'Good night' she sent.

'Good night' I sent.

My day couldn't have been better.

Next Day in hospital

The nurse just brought me breakfast and Sid went to freshen up in the washroom. As my hand had been fractured, I decided to wait for Sid to come back and feed me.

Suddenly my head snapped in the direction of the door when it burst open. I saw Kriti and Siya entering with some fruits in their hands.

"How are you bhaiya" Kriti asked me.

"I am fine Kriti" I said looking at her.

I was waiting for Siya to initiate a conversation with me, but to my disappointment, she didn't ask or say anything.

"You should keep the fruits on the table not on the bed" Sid said to Kriti while coming out from the washroom.

What's with him. Always teasing Kriti liking anything.

"I know, you don't need to tell me" she said, glaring at Sid.

Their bickering can start anytime.

Deciding to stop their banter I interrupted them "if you guys are done fighting, then someone please feed me breakfast, I am hungry."

Kriti immediately said "oh bhaiya I just forgot about it. Sid and me are going to college. Siya will be staying here for today to take care of you."

Siya was about to say something but she closed her mouth. Might be she didn't like the idea of staying with me whole day or she didn't want to skip her classes because of me.

I was on cloud nine hearing that I'll get some alone time with my angel, but then a thought crossed my mind.

If she stays here with me, it means she'll be skipping college. I don't want her to do this just because of me.

"She doesn't need to skip college for me. As it is Singhania uncle is here to take care of me and I am feeling perfectly fine" I said looking at Sid and Kriti.

"No bhaiya, it is fine. Anyways it isn't me who is suggesting this. Siya herself wants to stay here with you, right Siya" she said looking at her.

I was shocked. My Siya wanted to stay here with me, alone to take care of me?

Without waiting for my reply, Sid and Kriti went away hurriedly leaving Me and Siya alone in the ward.

I could say she was nervous as hell and was avoiding looking into my eyes.

Suddenly the door burst open and Singhania uncle came inside.

"Hi son, how are you feeling this morning" he asked me.

"I am fine uncle" I said, smiling at him.

"Good to hear that son, I already had a word with the doctor and he said that you are fine. You just need to be a little careful and take some precautions. He said you would be fine in 15 days" Uncle said.

"Also, I've informed your parents about it. They were worried a lot about you and wanted to come here today but I stopped them saying that there is nothing much to worry and anyways Sid and I are here to take care of you" he continued.

Well I agree with Singhania uncle. My mom and dad love me a lot and must be hell worried about me. I need to talk to them as well. I thought of doing them a video call today so that they could see that I am fine and would be less worried about me.

"Thank you so much uncle but you really don't have to bother yourself. As is it is yhou already have your patients to handle" I said.

Then he looked at Siya and said "Well Hi Siya, how are you."

"I am fine uncle, what about you." she said.

"I am good and I now know why Akash doesn't want me to take care of him, he has you to take care" he said, smirking at me.

I could see Siya's cheeks turning pink. Oh my god, she is blushing again.

I was just drinking water and I choked on it hearing uncles' words. Siya looked at me and immediately came to my side and started caressing my head and back.

After few minutes, when I became normal, she gave me water again to drink and I was glaring at Singhania uncle.

He was just suppressing his laugh.

"Well if you already have Siya to take care, I think I should head back to my cabin. My patients must be waiting for me" he said to me.

"Of course uncle I'll see you later. bye" I said.

"Bye" he said and went away.

"Are you fine now?" she asked me.

"Yes I am fine, now" I told her.

"I think you should eat your breakfast, you must be hungry" she said and took the bowl of soup in her hands and started feeding me. I am really enjoying this. If Siya feeds me like this, I am ready to even have poison with her hands. Wait, if I have poison, then how will I spend the rest of my life with her? I decided not to have poison, even from Siya's hands.

Coming out of my thoughts, I asked her "Why didn't you go to college. Singhania uncle could've taken care for me. You didn't have to stay here, skipping college."

"I didn't have to, but I wanted to stay with you, to take care of you" she said, not meeting my eyes.

I never thought a simple accident could bring her this close to me.

"So how is your college going. Are you comfortable here, do you feel any problem or is anyone bothering you" I asked her.

"No, I am actually feeling good now, being here, this new life. I've good friends, good education, what more could I ask for. I am glad, I got selected for this college in my counselling otherwise I would've never got to meet amazing people like Kriti, Sid and you" she said looking at me.

I am glad she likes our company. This is what I always wanted for her. She should live her dreams, follow her passion. I'll always support her, no matter what decision she takes. If she allows me, I can fight the whole world for her.

"So what do you want to become after completing college" I asked her, to get to know her more.

"I just want to join an IT company, probably and MNC and lead a normal life" she said, looking at me smiling.

"That is something which you'll be doing for your survival. i want to know what your real passion is" I asked her.

She looked at me as if I hit her weak spot.

"I always wanted to be a writer. I wanted to play with words and shape my imagination into reality" she said, looking at me.

"Oh, then why did you join engineering. You should've joined some other college" I said.

"My parents wanted me to do engineering, so I am here" she said.

I really don't get it. Why do some parents put their wish and burden on their children with their dreams, but then a thought crossed my mind. Might be Siya never told them about it.

"So, did you ever talk to your parents that you wanted to pursue writing" I asked her.

"Yes, I did, but they told me that engineering will give your career a shape and writing has got risks involved when it comes to career. I pondered over it and agreed, as I thought that they were right" she said to me.

Okay then, it is decided, once I marry her, I'll ask her to pursue her dream as a writer. No one will be able to lay a finger on her and I will never let that happen.

"What about you. You'll leave college next year. What do you want to become" she asked me.

"I want to be my own boss" I said.

"Well actually dad wants me to join my family business but I really want to have my own company after few years" I said.

"So what have you decided" she asked me.

"Well I've decided to join a company if I get selected in campus interview and later I'll launch my own company after gaining enough experience from it" I said.

"So what about your Dad's business" she asked me.

"There are many people to take care of it. My cousin can also handle it. After knowing about my intentions that I have no interest in my family business, they've started grooming him to handle it" I said.

"Didn't they get angry on you" she asked me.

"No, of course not. they understood it and respect my decision" I said.

"So what kind of company are you planning to launch" she asked.

"I am think of launching an application, but haven't decided what application to launch" he said.

"What about an application that could save human lives" she suggested.

"I didn't get what you want to to say" I asked her confused.

"Like an application that could immediately inform the victim's friends or family and the nearby hospital and police station" she said.

I never thought about it. Yes she has a good point. I can definitely consider her suggestion while building my own application.

"Thank you so much for the idea. I'll definitely think about it" I said.

After feeding me, she gave me water and went to the couch to take rest. She rested her head on the board and closed her eyes. I could see dark circles under her eyes. She didn't sleep properly yesterday.

She then slept on the couch and had a small smile on her lips that was making her angelic face more beautiful. I had a sudden urge to hold and kiss those rosy lips senseless till she is breathless but I can't do that, not yet.

To divert and control my pervert mind, I decided to video call my parents.

When I was trying to reach for my phone, it slipped from my hand and landed on the floor, making a loud noise.

Siya suddenly woke up from her sleep and came to me worriedly "What happened, are you fine" she asked me, checking for any injury on my body.

"Yes I am fine. I just wanted to video call my parents. they must be very worried about me" I said.

"You should've asked me, I would've brought the phone for you" she said, picking up my phone from floor.

"You were sleeping so peacefully, I didn't want to disturb you" I said.

"I am here to take care of you, you should've told me" she said. She helped me sit on the bed and said "wait, just stay still, let me call your parents" she said and dialed my Mom's no.

As soon as she picked up the call, she showered me with non stop questions "Akash beta, how are you, are you fine, how did you get into an accident."

"I am fine mom. Relax, you don't need to panic. It is just a small fracture and come scratched, I'll be fine in some days."

"I know but I really wanted to come there, even Singhania bhaisaheb asked me not to come there as he said would take care of you" she said.

"Yes mom, don't worry Singhania uncle is also taking care of me and besides I've Sid and other friends to take care of me" I said.

"Okay, let me talk to Sid, pass my phone to him" she said.

"Mom he's in college" I said.

"Then who's with you right now to take care of you" she asked.

"Siya" I said.

"Hmmm...well I don't remember you having a girlfriend. Why didn't you tell me this before, that is why you don't want me to come there. Don't worry beta your old mom will never interrupt your romance" she said all dramatically.

I could see Siya's cheeks turning pink.

"Mom, I am never going to have a girlfriend and you already know about it" I said to her.

"Then what if you like somebody, will you not propose her" she asked me.

"I'll propose her, but not to be my girlfriend, I'll propose her to be my wife" I said looking at Siya.

She was all red by now and looking down.

It's true, when the right time comes, I'll propose her to be my wife and not my girlfriend.

When I was thinking about it, dad came on the video call " So big boy you made a girlfriend I heard" he said.

"Not you dad. You already know about it, if there is someone in my life, I'll definitely tell you first" I said to him.

"Okay then, let me talk to Siya, your 'friend'" mom said, air quoting friend.

I moved my screen to her. She greeted both of them and they had a normal conversation like about my health and my mother, as usual, started talking to her like a long lost friend.

When dad came on the call, her eyes grew wide and she looked at me for a second and then looked back at the screen again. She became nervous while talking to him.

When the call ended, she looked at me as if I've grown 2 heads. What happened now?

"You are The Akash Sharma" she said, looking all horrified.

"Yes so?" I asked her.

"So you are business tycoon and billionare Aman Sharma's son THE Akash Sharma" she said, not believing me.

"Yes, I am the only son of Aman Sharma. Why what happened?" I asked her. "And correction, my father is a billionare not me" I said to her, closing her mouth which was hanging open. It was so funny to see her reaction.

"That's the reason I want to open my own business, I want to build my own identity and don't want to be recignised as his son. I want a day to come in my life when he would be recognized as my father" I said.

"I am sure you will make them proud" she said.

Well I not only wanted my parents to be proud of me, I also wanted Siya to look at me with the same pride.

A day will come Siya, when I'll make you mine and you'll be proud of me.
