Chapter 7 THE DIFFICULT CHOICE

"I can understand Monica , but we also don't have any other options but to reach our houses anyhow as the climate is getting worst with each passing moment and so just be brave girl and come with me “, He tells her

"But I .....”, Before she could complete

“You believe me or not ?”, He intervenes in between asking her a question

"Okay, if you are insisting than I'll come but let me tell you that I am really very much scared and I really don't know .....” , And once again before she could complete her sentence

“Just come with me “, Chris intervenes and holds her hand and they both starts walking towards their destination which is their respective houses as they need to reach there earliest

But only after walking few steps suddenly her leg got fractured after coming across uneven place on the road which is not visible due to the water logging on the road

" Oh my god“, She sits on the spot when she feels sudden stretching in one of her leg

“ What happened ?, Are you alright ?”, Chris asks her as she sits down

“I don't think that I can walk anymore because I think I got fracture as one of my leg is paining like hell”, she tells him while sobbing as the pain is unbearable

“Okay just come, first let's go to the doctor as I think that you really have got a fracture”, he tells her while picking her up in his arms

That moment is so unbelievably true for her that for a moment she forgets about her pain and just tries to feel his heartbeats by keeping her ear on his chest while in his arms and his heartbeats are pounding at its verge because of which even he is breathing heavily as well as shivering due to cold

And she unwillingly even closes her eyes which is closed out of tiredness only to once again come across the continuation of the same scenario which continues after that being threw knife on her , but before that knife could harm her suddenly it just falls down on the ground just an inch away from her eyeballs

And this time she hears the voice of a women , " You have to stay very much alert about whatever might happen in your surroundings from now onwards because you really have to care about yourself" , and once again she opens her eyes soon after that

But suddenly when she looks towards Chris' face , she is amazed as well as scared as his face suddenly turns into a skull with fire burning in it, and he said looking towards her,” You have to pay for your sins as you can run but really cannot hide from me”

Because of which she starts shouting breathlessly only for Chris to ask her,”What happened ?”

Which makes her realize that it is just her hallucination, but seemed so real that it is really hard for her to believe that it is just hallucination about which she doesn't tell him, so once again he starts moving ahead while still carrying her in his arms while the rain is falling to its fullest strength

“I think we should stop somewhere because it won't be good for anyone of us to walk in this condition as we don't even have any other options instead of it”, She tells him

"But we are just very close to reach our location which is your house and if you want than I can also stay at your place because I really don't know that I am really going to be okay till I reach my house as I am not in an appropriate condition right now”, He responds

“I think that we should rather wait here for some transportation facilities as it's very important for us to find something which would help us out to reach to our location as the rain is increasing its speed with passing time along with the fact that we are still almost a kilometer away even from my house “, She explains him the current situation

And as suggested by her , Chris makes her sit on the bus stand bench under the shade and starts waiting for the bus to arrive as even though it is raining heavily but still we saw few buses on the road and as taught by them , no sooner they stopped on the bus stand suddenly a bus came there after just few minutes and they entered inside it without wasting a second

And after few minutes the bus is standing outside her building and until then she heals her fracture with the help of her healing powers as she didn't wanted him to come at her house which will only be possible if she will be well and as she gets down suddenly Chris asked her,” If you won't mind can I just come to your location as I really don't think that I'll be really able to reach my location properly as I am feeling quite dizzy because we were wet for more than hour"

But she doesn't permits him to come to her house even though his condition is really not well as his eyes also turns red due to coming in contact with rainwater and she just gets down and takes quicker steps towards her apartment and stops only outside her house as she really didn't know what is happening with and around her today and soon she gets inside her house in baffled condition

But surprisingly soon after she enters in her house the very next moment the system informs her about someone outside her house and as she looks in the monitor , to her surprise it's none other than Chris who is standing while raindrops still pouring down from his clothes

After which she opens the door as she is little angry now as even after her opposition he came behind her and as she is about to speak suddenly he starts as soon as she sees her on the door,"I am sorry to bother you , but you just forgot your locket in the bus and so I am here to just return it"

But before she could speak anything she sees out of the window and the scenery outside scares her even more because the situation outside is getting worst due to heavy rainfall with each passing moment , so unable to understand anything she just thanks him and also tells him to reach home quickly

Because the rainfall is getting more and heavier which is not good for any of them because at the back of her mind she knows what might happen next and so it's better for him as well as her to stay far away from each other even though she is brutally attracted towards him at very first sight

And accordingly he also goes away from her place and she too closes the door only to hear voice of something falling on the stairs as soon as she closes her door, only for her to open it again and see that Chris is flat on the stairs outside as his legs got slipped in the water which is collected on the stairs because of which he gets badly injured

As he is unable to even move and not having any other options she goes for his help and brings him inside her house in order to treat him only to come across the fact that the veins of his legs have build tension in them due to which he is unable to move his feet an inch

Because of which she tells him to take off his pants so that she could treat him properly because her grandma told her the technique because of which anyone can get rid of any kind of temporary fractures in legs which was to massage the subjects thighs slowly and gently with hot oil and then slowly move towards the feet and then finally after massaging the whole leg portions

Try to release tension from the temporary fractured feet by pulling the fingers of feet slowly and gently which actually works out for Chris but due to the immense pain he gets unconscious while still wet but still she couldn't have left him in the same condition as he might have fall sick so after very brief thinking she decides to change his clothes

Hence, no sooner she starts changing his clothes which is really tough job for her because he is too hot to handle as first she takes off his shirt which is tightly wrapped on his body inside which she finds a Greek god type physique which really drives her even more crazy

As now, he is only in his briefs lying wet right in front of her and that too on her bed which is like a dream come true for every girl who looks for a prince charming in her life and getting carried away at the moment she moves towards him in order to kiss him and no sooner she is as close as an inch far away from his lips

She is so close to him that she could actually feel the warmth of his breath which forces her to loose her senses as she is really unable to understand of why is is getting so brutally attracted towards him and while she is still thinking about the same with just distance of fee inches away from his lips , suddenly her phone rings which kind of brings her into reality after which she soon gets away

"Hello , how may I help you ?", She responds while receiving call as she sees number of one of the important client of his company flashing on the screen and hearing nothing from the other side for a while after which she disconnects the call getting no response

And now once again looks towards her bed where Chris is lying only in his brief as apart of his clothes and so she now starts wiping his body with the help of the towel by even removing his brief after which she applies a special kind of natural paste on his body for faster healing and in order to stop anything unintentional to take place between them , she just covers him with blanket

And gets inside the washroom very soon after that and locks herself inside it as it will be very difficult for her to control her emotions if she will be around Chris and decides to spend the rest of night in the bathroom itself and while she is thinking about the same suddenly she comes across the message from office

"Due to heavy rainfall , the office building has met with major accident which led to the loss of the property and hence holiday of uncertain period has been announced by the board members untile the renovation work gets completed and hence the office will remain close till further notice - S&S Law firm"
