*Jay Pov*“You should always stay with her if I am not in the house.” I said to the maid looking at Jhanvi.“Always?” she asked and I nodded without looking at her.“Do not worry about the pay. I can hire a nurse, but I do not want another person in this house right now.” I replied narrowing my eyes at the eyes of Jhanvi staring blankly.“Should I also just keep on staring at her all the time, Sir?” I suddenly heard the curious question making me frown and I turned to see the maid frowning at me already.“Of course not! She is not going to disappear in thin air.” I replied shaking my head.“I just thought that as you didn’t look away from her as if searching for something.” She mumbled.“If she starts talking or anything immediately call me and… and do not talk to her about anything.” I said and she nodded.“And do not worry about missing the works of other houses. Before leaving the city I will recommend you to as many as I can.” I added remembering her other work.“Thank you, Sir.”

*Jay Pov*“If I don’t let her think, then how can we know anything?” Doctor Anee asked and I opened my eyes to see her sitting before Jhanvi holding her hand.“Don’t let her think the forbidden.” I replied.“Forbidden? What is forbidden?” Jhanvi asked ,staring at the doctor and me.“You should have taken her to the doctor instead of here.” Anne said.“Do not worry because even if she bounce back, she will wake up again, but if I had not brought her here then I wouldn’t be able to know any people who can take care of her. When I find them, then I can go to the place where I was going for.” I pointed out.“So, to release the burden you brought her here?” Anne asked frowning and I shrugged.“And she is also not comfortable living in my house.” I said to which Jhanvi glared at me.“What was I doing in this man’s house?” she asked giving disgust looks and I rolled my eyes feeling used to that while Anne looked shocked.“What is your name?” the questions started and I frowned listening to t

*Jay Pov*“She… she is moving, Sir.” I glanced up from the newspaper to see the face of the maid with shock covering it.“Really? Is she talking?” I asked her.“No! She is like before only but moving her face and hands by her own.” She replied and I frowned.“Okay! You gave her breakfast?” I asked, standing up.“Yes!” she replied and I nodded, walking away to reach her room.Now what is this new thing? I thought sighing and walked inside to see her turning to lay on her side.“So, you are back to normal?” I asked, feeling relief, but she kept quiet, staring at the wall.“You are doing it on purpose or is it something else?” I asked, sitting on the chair beside her.She flicked her eyes to me and just stayed like that while I waited for her to say something. When she didn’t, I cleared my throat feeling awkward.“You there?” I asked, waving my hand feeling weird this time.“Jhanvi?” I called and placed my hand on her cheek, for which she didn’t do anything.“Well, now as my hand is not

*Jay Pov*“It’s nice to see you both here again and she is well.” Madam said, smiling at us when we walked inside with Jhanvi little slowly.“It is because of Lakshmi I think.” I said, smiling and she gave me a shock look.“After that day, she was recovering.” I added not wishing to give away the details when I don’t have any right to.If she wants to tell someone of her ailing then she will. I thought and glanced at Jhanvi to see her looking around.“Can we meet the children?” I asked the madam.“Lakshmi!” Jhanvi added and I hid my smile as I wanted to see whether she will talk or not because of which I asked that question.“Yes! Please come with us.” She said and called for an attender.“Where is she?” Jhanvi asked, looking around to see that she is not there.“She must be here somewhere. You can meet other kids in the meantime.” I replied, looking at the door and turned back to see her already talking to a few kids.I walked out of the playroom to see some other kids and glanced at

*Jhanvi Pov*I just stood there staring at her sleeping form with all the toys she likes surrounding her. Why did I rush into all this? Where was thinking and the past mistakes?Wasn’t once enough with my jumping into everything and returning with nothing? Now, again, I rushed into more complicated things.But… but standing here, I know it is not a complete bad thing. She was… she was too alone and I have seen her looking lost when one day the people came to adopt but didn’t glance at her.Wasn’t I there? Wasn’t I having the same feel of lost when people used to come to the hospital and choose the kids? Didn’t I try to settle myself with just the life I got, feeling great full for it.Isn’t the reason for my rush behind that person craving for such belongingness? Isn’t it the reason for being pushed to the edge of a cliff in the life and thrown over by the betrayal?How can I let someone else get the same fate? I may can’t do it for everyone else but this little girl will not have

*Jay Pov*I think everything is settled with me leaving the house for office not even meeting them both literally as she stayed away. Then at night I would return early so that she can go for work.She doesn’t say anything and I too just greet her but make sure she takes the car to go. However, there is something which she doesn’t know.After that she doesn’t know what actually happens, as Lakshmi immediately wakes up the moment she leaves and walks to the couch where I will be sitting.Each day we will be doing something or the other as she wishes even though she doesn’t say anything but we still spend time before she goes back to sleep.I either stay back in her room or go to my room. I sleep for some time, but make sure to be awake when she returns, but don’t go down to meet her knowing well she will not like it.And like that nearly two weeks passed. I took the leave and sat in the dining area waiting for both of them.“You are still here?” Jhanvi asked in a shocked tone.“Yeah!

*Jhanvi Pov*“Jay!” I called him when he was about to walk out of the door.He immediately turned around with shock covering his face making me realize that it is the first time I am calling him by his name.“What is it?” he asked clearing his throat.“I need to go one hour early today.” I replied and he nodded.“I will come early.” He stated and we both stood there in silence.“Lakshmi must be wondering about me.” I said, gesturing my hand to her room.“I must go too.” He said and at once we both turned around before walking away in our directions.This is so awkward! I thought moving my hand to slap my forehead but stopped myself. It’s been just two days since I cried my heart out about my fears and insecurities and my another stupidity.Who asked me to kiss his cheek? Did he or is there any need? No! But still overwhelmed with everything, I went and did that.Now, I am feeling so awkward to even talk to him. It’s not like I talked to him before but that was because of anger and all

*Jhanvi Pov*I released Harsha and looked up to see Jay and Ali standing near the door staring at us. I brushed my tears away and glanced around for Lakshmi but then remembered her playing in her room.“Jay!” I called him but he just stood there lost in his thoughts.“Jay!” I called loudly, making him jerk out of his thoughts and he glanced at me with a frown.“Aren’t you getting late?” I asked and he just stared at me before nodding.“I will go.” He mumbled and stared at me for a few seconds before turning around to glance at Ali.“Good day!” he greeted and left checking his watch.I know he has an important meeting today with the shareholders and the day for his worried to over regarding his company. So, I hope he will reach soon.“Mom! Come with us.” Harsha said making me glance at him.“Did you have breakfast?” I asked him smiling and he nodded his head.“Come here.” I said, dragging him to the couch and sat down along with him.“Tell me how were you all these days. Are you eating
