Edward's POV

The next morning I reached at Ashima's place and now I'm waiting for her leaning against my car.

God knows what is taking her so long to come down, thinking so I unlocked my phone and was scrolling through the emails when I heard a voice and of course I know who it is.

I looked up only to see Ashima walking towards me while talking to someone over the phone. She's looking a little different today and that's when I noticed that she's not wearing western clothes but a pink and white Indian dress and is looking breathtaking in it.

"Pia I'll talk to you later okay bye" she said before hanging up.

"What" she asked as I was gazing at her continuously.

"Nothing it's just that traditional dress suits you more then western" I replied smiling as her cheeks turned a little rose pink.

"Okay now let's go" I said opening the door for her.

"I'll drive today" she replied.

"And what makes you think I would let you drive" I asked in a bored voice.

"Because you don't know the address" she replied with a shrug.

"So what you need to do is tell me the directions. I have not seen you driving before so I can't trust your driving skills" I said and she got in the car but not before murmuring something's which I couldn't hear.

"You know you didn't had to come with me..." but I cut her off.

"Yeah I know now what you'll say you are not my bodyguard and all that but you have already told me that last night remember" I said shaking my head.

"What's wrong" I asked after a while as she was looking down at her phone with a frown.

"Nothing" she replied but I can tell that there's something disturbing her.

"Just tell it Ashima" I said while halting the car at the side of road.

"It's a message from an unknown number and it says that stay away from Edward" she replied with confession in her eyes.

"Give me your phone" I said as suddenly I remembered about the calls which she got when we were on the yacht. I almost forgot about searching about that unknown number.

"I think you are in love with my phone" she replied while rolling her eyes before handing me her phone.

And I unlocked my phone and scrolled down to that unknown number which I saved to see if it's the same number from which Ashima got this message and my doubt is right it's the same number.

"What happened" Ashima asked as I handed her phone back to her.

"Nothing just don't answer any calls from this number okay" I replied while driving again. Who the hell is texting her and giving her blank calls. I have to find whoever it is soon.

"But why" she asked raising her eyebrows.

"Stop your questions for once, see we reached already" I said stopping the car.

"You have to remove your shoes" she said as we were about to enter the temple.

"Of course I know that" I lied while removing my shoes.

I stood behind Ashima as she closed her eyes joining her hands in front of the statue and I did the same as her but instead of closing my eyes I kept staring at her.

"Come on let's go" she said snapping me out of my trance before walking away.

"You wait here I'll be back" she said.

"But wait where are you going" I asked but she didn't wait to reply. I saw her as she was crossing the road I guess she's going to the store across the road.

My phone ringed, it's Brenda my assistant so I received it.

"No I'm not free till afternoon...yeah cancel the meeting and..." but I stopped speaking when I heard some noise.

I looked towards the road only to see Ashima lying there unconscious her pink dress covered with blood, oh god. I quickly ran towards her and held her in my arms.

"Ashima...Ashima open your eyes" I spoke in a shaky voice while patting her cheek gently as fear crept my heart.

"Don't worry you'll be fine" I whispered while kissing her forehead as my eyes became a little moist and my vision blurry.

"Oh shit" I murmured as I saw her head bleeding, I quickly picked her up in my arms and walked towards the car while hoping to reach the hospital soon.

Soon we reached the hospital and they took her in the emergency room leaving me out with just a hope that she'll be fine. Everything happened so fast that I didn't even look around for the vehicle which hit Ashima.

First she gets blank calls then some stupid messages and now she got into an accident. I don't know why but I'm feeling that these all three things are connected somehow.

But maybe I'm too worried for her that's why I'm just over thinking, maybe it was really just an accident. Whatever it is for now I just wish that she'll be okay.

I want to see her smiling face again not the one which was covering by blood.

I covered my face with my palms sitting on a chair, stupid silly girl can't even cross a road properly, always manages to get herself in danger, so irresponsible and careless for herself.

I snapped out of my trance when I saw the Doctor walking out, did they treated her so fast or just the time passed and I didn't even realize it.

"Is she okay doctor" I asked getting up.

"Yeah just her right leg is fractured a little and she might feel weakness as she lost a lot of blood but nothing much to worry about just take good care of her" he replied before walking away.

Oh god her leg is fractured and he says nothing much to worry about, stupid doctor.

I stared at her unconscious figure as I entered the room after few minutes as they didn't let me meet her before because they needed to shift her from the emergency room to another one.

I sighed in relief and sat beside her on the bed and took her hand in mine.

"You scared me so much Ashima" I whispered while kissing the back of her hand softly.
