The car remained quiet until they reached his house. Akash started talking only after parking his car.
"Hey, you okay?" His voice was soft as he caressed her arms.
Madhu quietly nodded her head but did not say anything more.
Akash got down and opened the doors for her. Both entered the house hand in hand. Madhu kept her head down in a daze and blindly followed him around.
Akash sat her down in the living room and asked one of the maids for some ice…
Madhu came back to her senses for a moment and winced when she felt the cold suddenly and at last, looked up at him…
"You will feel better in a while!" Akash said softly and held the ice pack against her cheeks looking into her eyes.
Madhu just stared back for the longest of time once again going into a daze… And she did not really come out of it until she felt herself floating in the air.
