Chapter 45 - Panic-struck lass!

Little did Rhehan know that this is what is called falling in love. When you start caring for a person selflessly and ask nothing in return. When you just want to see the person happy and even a slighest of harm to that person will make you create havoc in the world.

After another 30 minutes of dead silence, Rose's eyes finally flickered. Rhehan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her face intently. Rose frowned a little and suddenly opened her eyes in horror.

Rhehan assumed that the trauma of bullet hitting her must have scared her a lot.

"Don't worry! You are safe. The bullet just touched you minutely. Nothing serious happened," he assured patting her hand with utmost care.

Rose looked at Rhehan in horror. His soothing words were not calming her down at all. Rhehan was perplexed at her reaction.

"Relax Rose. Trust me, you are fine. You hit your head on the ground and passed out for some time. Thats all," he said with even more gentle tone.

Rose's face frowned further and she screamed loudly in panic. Rhehan was taken aback by her reaction. A girl like her, did not get scared on facing a bullet but now since she is all fine, she is panicking like anything. Finally she opened her mouth to speak.

"How long did I pass out?" she said panic-struck.

"Umm...around 2 hours," he said thinking deeply.

"Oh damn!" she said punching the bed hard with her fist.

"Hey easy girl ! This arm just got hit by a bullet. Can you be a little more concerned about your situation"? he fumed in anger, holding her fist tightly.

Rose then noticed the bandage on her arm and frowned further.

"What could have a bullet done to me?" she said rolling her eyes.

Rhehan looked at her startled. She was nothing like a normel girl. Was she even a girl? She is looking at her wound as if its a small scratch.

"You are right. It did not harm you much. Then what are you worried about?" questioned Rhehan perplexed.

Rose's face grew dark as if her world had just ended. She looked intensely in Rhehan's eyes, which sent shivers down Rhehan's spine. This girl was stirring up Rhehan's emotions and messing with his heart.

"I have just one hour left to prepare for the Loraine fashion week. It is the most popular international platform and I need to reach their right now. My team must be waiting for me. I have the opening show and if anything goes wrong my brand will suffer", she said in a gloomy voice.

"But you have a wonderful team with you. Can't they handle on their just this once?" he asked frustrated.

"No. We have been waiting for this opportunity from past 2 years. I need to be with my team and check on all the arrangements," she pleaded.

"But what about your wound and your head injury?" Rhehan asked perplexed.

" Please, I am fine. I can handle myself. I have suffered worse during my training sessions. But if i don't reach at the fashion week, everything will be finished. We have been preparing for this competition since long," she pleaded.
