[Ramesh_Rocky]

"Thank you so much, Krish."

"You always welcome, Deepika.."

"How did you know my name?"

"It's written on your face."

She smirked at me.
I smiled back.

"So how was your marriage? Was it love marriage?"

"No, it was an arranged marriage. Actually he's my uncle's son."

"Oh marriage within the family."

"Yes."

"So it was love cum arrange marriage."

"No. Not at all. Actually I didn't like it. But you know, the family pressure..."

"Oh so sad. But not so sad as well. See, how cute is your Vinnee...!"

She smiled.

"Yeah, now I love him."

"Yeah I saw that. A few hours ago. I'm so sorry to tell this, that when I saw you crying so badly, I thought something terrible might have happened.."

She seemed trying to recollect it.

"Yeah actually I was crying from the moment I saw him falling. I was so scared. Shocked.."

"Now you're okay?"

"Yeah!"

By evening, the lady I had brought was able to wake up. I got contact numbers from her and contacted her family. They reached the hospital within an hour. Soon there were a crowd. Her husband, two sons and a daughter, her father and so on.
All of them thanked me. Her name was Alka, and she worked in an advertising agency.
Deepika was watching as the people were hugging me and shaking my hands.

"You're really a good person. You got blessings from eleven persons."

"Twelve."

I looked at her and corrected her.

"Yes. Twelve. No. Twelve and a half."

She smiled gesturing to Vinnee.
Again hers was a beautiful smile. On a beautiful face. Of a beautiful woman.

Once Alka's family was there, I was free to go. But as I had promised to Deepika, I stayed.
The doctor came again to Karthik. He checked the scanning result and was disappointed.
And he said Karthik needs to be admitted. For few days. He was awake by then.
I went out and bought some food for him. Deepika fed him as I stood outside holding Vinnee.
As soon as the sedation ended, Karthik was in pain. He was given pain killer as well as sleeping pills.
It was 8 o'clock by then and came the night staff. They said nobody are allowed inside during the night.
Deepika was shocked.
I was with her and I argued with the staff saying it's his wife and child.
But the staff said she can go to the medical wards and look for some space there, but nobody is allowed to stay with the patients under observation.
We went to the medical wards and soon found out it wasn't safe for a lady. Maybe it was safe but we both were outsiders and we didn't feel safe.

"What will do now?"

Deepika worried.

"We'll have to look for some hotel rooms."

I said.

"Hotel room? No!"

She said quickly. And stopped walking as well.

"What no? We don't have a choice."

"No. I can't."

She shook her head.
I now got her problem.

"Are you worried that I'm going to stay with you?"

She looked at me. Without saying a word, she said it all.

"Oh, come on!"

I couldn't believe it.

"Look, Deepika! I'm not a moron to jump on you at every...."

I stopped talking as I saw someone walking towards us. I waited him to walk past us.

"Look... Deepika, I'm here with you because of my sympathy. Not my lust. By renting a hotel room I meant one room for you and another room for me. Now I'll stay in one hotel and you'll stay in another one. Is that okay?"

She had a very embarrassed look on her face.

"Sorry.."

"Oh please, don't!"

"I'm sorry Krish. I'm so sorry. I've never been like this..."

She almost cried.

"Okay."

I said.

"Trust me first. Else you're just pissing me off."

She nodded and walked behind me. Then I thought about it. Though her response had almost pissed me off, she was correct. If she had agreed instantly to my hotel room suggestion with a smile on her face, what would I have thought about her? She was correct and indeed, had made a strong positive image about herself in my mind.
