Shivaay twisted the steering to go back Oberoi mansion. Annika constantly looked outside with a blank face. She gulped the lump in her throat. Her vision became a blur when water brimmed in her eyes. She gave a blink to let them fall. Few thoughts have made her emotional. Shivaay's smile faded when he took a glace of her. He expected anger, irritation on her face. But that was something he couldn't find rather she was wiping her tears.

S: why are you crying?
He asked being concerned

A: will you solve my problem?
She turns her head towards him. But didn't look at him

S: first tell me the things. Then we can think about the solution
He said as a matter of fact

A: if I don't want to?
She asks calmly. Maybe her tears made her calm

S: why? You will feel good if you could say to someone. Moreover, it's my responsibility to stand by you when you face some problems

Annika scoffed looking at his face
A: responsibility
She muttered while shifting her gaze again to outside

Shivaay sighed not wanting to argue with her. She broke the silence after a good amount of time 'can you drop me at home, please '
Her polite tone surprised him

S: if I don't want to?

A: just kill me
She shouted making shivaay startled

S: don't get the hyper girl. I was just playing with you. I will drop you
He said shrugging shoulders
He shook his head in disbelief when saw her calmed down

When they were about to reach trivedi mansion they saw a truck coming towards them at high speed. The truck was about to hit them before they could grasp the things. Shivaay twisted the steering with a jolt while Annika shouting his name in fear. The car directly hit on a tree causing it to break due to the high force. Annika felt shivaay's clutch on her right hand before losing consciousness. Shivaay's blurry vision saw the truck again heading towards them before he closes his eyes.

**************

The next day at 1 am

Annika opens her eyes blinking them several times. She feels immense pain in her head. She tries to raise her right hand to press her head. But she was unable to even move it as it was plastered. Her right hand's bone has broken and a deep cut on her head. She hissed in pain opening her eyes properly

H: Annika, are you ok?

She heard her father's voice. It felt difficult to move her head. But she did it slowly only to see her father's worried face.
'Shivaay?'
Her tongue whispered without her wish

'I am here'
She heard his voice and turned her head right side to see him grinning at her lying on another bed next to hers. His head is bandaged as hers and few more blood clotted scratches on his hands. She could feel the pain. but this man looks so cool still. She rolled her eyes before looking back at her father

H: does it pain so much?

She nodded while humming.

A: how did you know?
Came her faint voice

H: shivaay's father called me when they got to know from hospital. They are outside right now as doctor doesn't allow more people inside

A: hmm. A truck was intentionally heading towards us

H: shivaay told me. Even that truck was about to hit you again. But thanks to God, you are safe as people around saw that and caught that driver at time.
