Part 4: Chained to you: Safely

Kian’s POV:

This girl is really something… at the moment I saw her, all my problems are vanished in the air… Now all I can think about is why she is sad? What might have happened to her? May be abusive parents! Or may be an ex-boyfriend problem!

This girl has made me do all those things that I have never done or think about anyone, not even for my parents. Of course I were a fool when I asked her about her patient number of the mental hospital, but I were left with no option when she wasn’t talking to me. And when she told me that you can’t judge people from their faces, you can see sadness in her eyes. She tried to cover her sadness by a small smile but that somehow didn’t reach her eyes.

How I wanted to take away that sadness from her eyes! I wonder how her eyes will look when twinkling with happiness. She has very beautiful brown eyes… but sadness covering that beauty.

She is trying to get up for getting down at her destination. And I were tempted to hold her, I don’t know why but all I wanted was to keep her with me all the time. And I know that this is not going to happen anytime soon. Still I can try, with this thought at the moment I tried to hold her hand… with the thud… she collapsed on the floor unconscious.

What the hell has just happened?

I instantly sit beside her, trying to wake her up but no response… I am having so many negative thoughts in my mind. I take her in my arms in bridal style. I told the bus driver to take the bus at the hospital due to emergency. When we reach hospital, there were ward boys with the stretchers. I don’t want any boy to look or touch her. “I will carry her to room, no need for stretcher” I told them. “but… sir…” they said in unisom, “I said no” I said coldly.

This is how I am to the world… cold and ruthless. Except for this sleeping beauty in my hands.

My heart is beating so faster at the moment. I laid her on the bed at that time and a nurse come into the room. “Who is the patient to you?” she asked me while batting her eyelashes at me… trying to flirt with me. “I am her husband” I answered her coldly. Why I did that, I don’t know?

“Full name?” she asked not glad with the information.

“Mrs. Karissa Knight!” I said proudly. And one more thing, I just want a female doctor and all females staff. No male staff… understood?” I told her, without glancing at her, with my authoritative tone.

She flinched at my tone… “yes Mr. Knight” she answered and with that walk out of the room…

I sit on the stool that is placed besides her bed… take her small hand in mine… staring at her sleeping and pale face. With every passing moment… I am getting more worried about her. I hope doctor will come soon or else I will explode with anger.

“Cara, please wake up” I said sadly while caressing her cheek. And then, door opened and doctor came into view… Thank God!!! Doctor is female and not male.

I stood there while doctor checking Karissa’s pulse and eyes etc…

I am sweating due to tension… I hope she is fine and nothing serious. When doctor finished her work… I asked her “how is she doctor? And why is she unconscious?”

“Don’t worry Mr. Knight… your wife is fine, nothing serious… and the reason for her unconsciousness are over stress and empty stomach” she replied with a genuine smile and I sighed in relief.

When she reached at the door… she turned around and said “Mr. Knight, your wife is really beautiful… you are a lucky man” I just smiled at her…

When she completely walk out of the room, I took the seat beside her bed and again take her hand in mine… After a while I drifted off to sleep with the hope that she will wake up soon… my head is besides her on the bed.
