Chapter 11: Chapter 11

**Nancy's POV**

"He's relativeless. What do you mean by that?" I ask?

"I don't have more thing to explain to you but please, do me this favour. Our boss really needs your help right now," he says as he joins both of his hands in front of me.

It's not like I don't want to take care of him. It's because I don't want to underestimate Kevin for him anymore.

But my heart knows it doesn't want to see Zion even in a little pain.

"I... I will," I say.

"Thank you miss. You don't need to stay with him all the time. You just need to be with him during nights and in morning. We are shifting boss at home for better treatment and you have to shift at there for sometime too," he says.

"Sorry! But I don't want to. I am okay with taking care of him but I am not okay with living with him under the same roof," I protest.

"You will not love. You will just take care of him. Please, miss," he pleads and I stand there doing something I shouldn't have done.

"Fine," I say and he smiles.

"I will send you car to office and to pick you up. There will be nothing that will be lacking to you," he says and walks to his ward.

I stand there aloof. I don't even know if the decision I did is right or wrong.

"What did he say?" Mia asks.

"He wants me to take care of him, Zion," I answer.

"Oh! Come on Nancy, not one more time. Don't tell me you are going to take care of that asshole one more time. You know what this is wrong. This is absolutely wrong. That man was never meant to be in your life. He just ruins it like hell and you have to cry at the end. You know what something says that he is responsible for all of this. We know his anger. This is all done by Zion. Don't you think so?" she asks.

"What do you mean by he did it? Do you have any proof?" I ask.

"Nancy don't be blinded by that man one more time. He doesn't love you. Kevin loves you. Just think about that. Don't you think your date with Kevin and this accident and Zion, don't they have connection with each other?" she asks.

"Zion is freaking crazy and he might have done this all just for his fucking jealousy. Don't fall for his trap now," she says.

"I am not," I scream.

"He isn't awoke. He hasn't even been conscious. How can be set trap for me?" I say.

"Whatever you think but that is going to be the truth. You are going to regret this Nancy. Mark my words," she says and walks away from there.

"Mia...Mia...," I want to stop her bit she doesn't stop. She walks away leaving me on tears one more time.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith get out of Kevin's room.

"Mr. Smith, make sure I won't see this girl in front of me next time I walk this hall," she says.

"No... Please, don't say that. Let me see him please," I request.

"Please, just once," I request her like so pathetic soul still she refuses to let me meet her son.

"Nancy, get inside and be with him," Mr.Smith commands. I look at him with the eyes of hope.

"But just once. I don't want you to linger around my son. Leave him alone after you have seen him once," his another sentence hits me hard.

I nod and walk inside his cabin.

He is silent. He is resting like a peaceful child.

I sit beside him and grab his hands on mine.

"I'm sorry Kevin. I am really sorry. This all happened because of me. This all happened because I couldn't take better care of you. Forgive me. After all this was all I could give you for loving me. How selfish of me that I just neglected your love all these time? I am really sorry. I will come to meet you when I have more time. I know you will be waiting for me. And I promise I will come to meet you once everyday whatever it takes," I say and hold his hands by my cheeks and sob.

A day later

~Phone beeps~

After long thoughts whole night, I was asleep late night.

As usual, my day starts with a sounds of phone. But today, the tone is different.

I never get the call at this hour of morning instead of alarm.

"Don't pick that call," I hear Mia's voice, loud and aggressive. It isn't because of call I am fully awake but it's because of her aggression that I am so much curious to know whose call it is.

"Why? Who is it?" I ask.

"Nobody, you need to know," she says and grabs my phone and walks to another direction.

The call repeats again.

"It's ringing again. Whose call is it? Why are you like that?" I scold her and grab the phone?

The phone gets cut off in our small cat fights.

"Mia, what is wrong with you?" I snarl at her.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you Nancy? How can you be alright when Kevin is in that state? How can you stay calm and even sleep at this condition of his?" she says with her unstoppable sobs.

Her tears are so natural and genuine. She seems like a child whose most precious thing is broken right now.

"Mia...," I try to touch her.

"Don't touch me. It clearly seems that you don't love Kevin. This all proves that," she shouts.

"I love him, Mia," I say firmly.

"Yes, so you are trying to be some fucking caretaker for you so called ex boyfriend, aren't you?" she snarls.

"No... You are wrong. I don't have anything to do with him and I love Kevin," I say.

"Lies. All lies," she adds.

I get angry when abe says that.

Who said I don't love Kevin? I do love him. But not the way as she wants me to.

I love Kevin, maybe more than Zion but how much I try I can't feel the same way he feels for me. I can't love him the same way, I love Zion

No... It's not love. It's loved. I loved Zion.

"I don't have any explanation to give it to you," I say and pick up my garments and walk to the bathroom. I shut the bathroom door loudly and look at my own reflection in the mirror.

She doesn't know. She doesn't know how do I feel right now?

What fire and snow are rushing all over my body?

It's easy to say. But it's hard to feel. It's hard to go through everything which looks so easy to everyone.

As I wash my face and wipe my face, I see the caller id.

Zion's Assistant!

When did I even saved this number? As far as I remember, I haven't saved this number.

I pick up the call.

"Miss Williams, it's me. Why didn't you pick up the call? Are you trying to run away from this?" he asks.

I feel quite disappointed with his direct speech.

"First thing, my phone wasn't with me and second thing it was you who requested me to take care of him. It wasn't me who requested. I think you should take care of your rude mouth and it's my wish to do this work. I am not obliged to work for you," I say.

"I am really sorry miss but this is the way I talk. I apologize. I got angry because you didn't pick up the phone," he says.

"It's fine. What's the matter?" I ask?

I want to ask him how he is but I don't want to show him that I care for him.

"Boss has been discharged and he is at home. I hope you will be here at 7 in the evening and leave for office from here," he says.

"What the hell are you spouting? When will I stay on my place then? Are you trying to abuse me?" I shout at him.

"No... Miss. It's not like that. It's just that aw have arranged your stay at here. You will live comfortably here. Everything has been arranged for you," he says.

"I am against this. I am completely against this," I say and cut off the phone.

As I come out of the washroom, I see Mia, packing her things.

"Mia, what are you doing?" I ask as I unpack her stuff.

"Leave my hands. I am going to leave this place. I cannot live with someone selfish like you," she says.

"What? How could you say that? You know me better than anyone else?" I say.

"I thought. I thought I could understand you but no. I couldn't. You are still hard to predict and not easy to understand like the day I first met you. And yes, I think I shouldn't hide this anymore. I loved Kevin. I liked him so much that I cannot take this anymore. I can't tolerate someone he loved to go to someone else and neglect him. I am going to take care of Kevin. You take care of your fucking ex boyfriend," she says and shovels her stuffs.

I get aback when she says that.

She loved Kevin?

And I never knew about it?

How could I be so much self centered?

I was lost in so much work. So much to myself that I don't even get to know that my roommate likes my best friend.

"I...," I want to say something to her but abe stops me.

"I don't need your pity. I will just tuck in into some hotels till I get another apartment," she says.

"No... It's me you have problem with. I will leave this place. This place was first rented by you. I don't to intrude you. I will make sure to take out my things," I say and walk to my room.

Do some packing and walk to the office.

I call Zion's assistant.

"I am ready. I will be staying over as care taker but until he wakes up. After that I will leave him and his place and you won't ask a single question to me," I say.
