Sometimes it's not the past that's holding us back but us who are not letting go it go
~Frozen_within
KHUSHI
"you are still here" i asked , confused why he was still here , oh god don't tell me he is some creep but wait he didn't look like one , he looks like a gentleman , but you can't judge a book by it's cover .
"yeah actually , you were in such a rush and you looked so panicked , and when you asked me to drop you in front of the hospital , i thought your family or friend was umm here so i stopped by incase you needed any help b-but i just realized that you are a doctor here " he replied scratching the back of his neck , right i didn't even introduce myself to him and the way i rushed here anyone will think that way .
To make it less awkward for him i gave him a small smile .
"that's ok by the way i am khushi , khushi agnihotri , i am a pediatric surgeon here " i forwarded my hand , he smiled back and we shook our hands , his hands were so warm , a shiver fear ran down my eyes as i looked into his forest green eyes , i pulled back my hand , my heart was throbbing in my chest like crazy .
"all good ?" He asked a frown marred his handsome face . i nodded and just gave him a faint smile .
"y-yeah , i am good , it was nice meeting you Mr. Khanna , i'll get going now and you should too , it's late already " i said changing the topic , this was all weird , all wrong .
"Ms. agnihotri , let me drop you" His voice was laced with concern but i just shook my head in no .
"it's ok Mr. Khanna , i'll just book a cab " i said as i grabbed my phone to book a cab
"please , i insist" he insisted again so i agreed , a beautiful smile graced his face showing those two perfect dimples that i had missed earlier , ishaan has really taken over his father , when he laughed he too had these perfect set of dimples and the forest green eyes sparkled just like his .
He opened the car door for me and closed it after i settled in the passenger seat . Walking over , he himself slid in the driver seat and then we just drove off , i told him the address and then the whole car ride was silent .
"Ishaan was really happy today , you know it's been really long since i had seen him laughing so freely " he cut the silence , his voice was laced with adoration for that small kid and i was happy that ishaan had someone like him as his father .
"yeah but i kinda upset him" i blurted out remembering that i couldn't grant a single wish of his , he was so sad when i had to leave .
"that's ok , ish loved you , so if you'll give him his favorite ice-cream he will forget that he was even sad earlier" he chuckled as the end of his sentence making me giggle , kids are so adorable , my heart clenched in pain remembering something i had buried deep in my heart .
I was dragged back to reality when i felt a hand waving infront of me , i looked back at him and he was looking at me with a questioning expression .
"you lost again" he asked
"yeah sorry , i have a habit of zoning out every then and now" i said passing him a small smile which he returned .
"i understand your job must be quiet hectic , being a doctor is not easy" he said and i nodded .
"it can be sometimes but i love being around children " a smile graced his face as he nodded .
"Mr. Khanna" i called out for him hesitantly
"yes" he said his eyes never leaving the road .
"well i was thinking , i mean if you don't mind can i meet ishaan tomorrow , it's sunday and i'll be free tomorrow , i wanted to make it up to him , i mean if that's ok with you , i was just feeling so guilty that because of me he was sad , i understand if you can't , you must want to spend time with him an-" my rants stopped when i felt his finger on my lips , my breath hitched in my throat , i realized the car had stopped and he was looking at me intently , my heart was racing , i was nervous but i could take my eyes off him .
"you need to breath in between and of course you can meet him , ish would be ecstatic to meet you , if you want i can pick you tomorrow " he said and finally removed his finger off my lips , i blinked furiously trying to wrap my head around what just happened .
"Ms. Agnihotri" i looked at him and nodded , i waited for him to continue driving but he was looking at me amusingly .
"what" i asked him trying to control my racing heartbeats .
"i didn't know you liked my car more than your house" he said and looked at him confused , what does he meant by that , he looked at me and then he raised his both eyebrows and indicated me to look behind my back , i turned back and oh my god , i have successfully managed to make a fool out of myself twice in front of the same man and in a same day. We we right infront of my house.
"i umm -" he cut me off as he let out a chuckle , my cheeks heated up in sheer embarrassment
"it's alright , it happens , you are exhausted , you should go and take rest , i'll pick you up at 9 tomorrow" he said and then i stepped out of the car .
"Good night Ms. Agnihotri " he said and mumbled a quick thankyou and a good night , he didn't drove off until he saw me going inside my house safely , when i closed door , i heard his car engine letting me know that he must have drove off , it's strange , so strange , he reminds me of him so much that it scares me , it terrifies me to the core , but may be i am just being paranoid , it's been so long and i need to stop thinking about him but i can't even if i want to , he is so deeply engraved into me .
Who is he ????
