Silence descended once again after Eshan helped me on the sofa. Well, he technically placed me down on the sofa, almost in a lying position. His dad ordered him to, for he said that I should not be exerting or putting pressure on my leg. Arjun nodded fervently in the synch. I had no other option but to keep my head down and listen to the grown-up men fussing around me.
Eshan adjusted cushions behind my back. Arjun placed a few cushions beneath my leg, propping it up.
"Everything will be ok," Eshan said. He placed his hand on my shoulder, subtly pressing it as if he could sense my unease.
Eshan's father disappeared from my sight once he made sure that I was properly looked after.
