57: Everything will be fine

Start from the beginning
                                    

“Dimpy calm down, mai hoon na, chalo Karthik ke paas chalte hai” I nod at him still not leaving him

I know I need to see him, whatever Anisha told doesn’t matter, he gives peace to me. In a few minutes a wheelchair was arranged for me, I can’t even walk on my own great! Papa drives me to the police station, he’s a cricket player they could at least arrange a better place for me.

My breath hitches seeing him, a worn out t-shirt wounds all over his body, dried blood, the ever cheerful face was void of emotions, I couldn’t wait for a second more I pulled my self closer to that prison

“Karthik…” his eyes were so dull, I am sure he didn’t had sleep last night several wounds covering his face I didn’t even notice when a tear fell off my eye

“Ashi…tum kyu aayi ho..?

“Jo bhi baat karni hai 10 min khatam karo kal vaise bhi court mai present karna hai inn dono ko” just then I notice that bastard was also here, but in a different prison

“Uncle isse leke chaliye yaha se, rest ki zaroorat hai kya kar rahi ho yaha?”

“Chup, hamesha mere baare mai kyun soch rahe ho”

“Ab tum ho hi itni special mere liye” he said showing his dazzling smile, how is this guy even able to smile

“Hey hey taarif kar raha hun tumhara, why are you crying” I forcefully rub my tears

“Come on aaram se nikalo inn aansu ko aur mujhe vo dimple vaali smile dikha dho, please” he looks up at me with those puppy dog eyes, this guy can make me smile in my worst

I give a small smile to him he gestures with his hand to give a bigger smile, I smile big this time  not breaking the eye contact with him, I can clearly see his eyes getting watered he blinks them rapidly to prevent them falling out, I know you better boy, stop that act. I place my hand on his hand which is on the railing of this prison

“You will get back Karthik, I promise tumhare career ko koi problem nahi aayegi”

“Career se yaad aaya, you are not gonna tell anyone about bhai being involved in this promise me on that”

“But karthik..

“No Ashlesha, if a career has to be destroyed it has to be mine, his name shouldn’t be out”

“Tumhare career ko kuch nahi hoga Karthik I promise”

“But agar career ko kuch ho raha hai vo mera hi hona chahiye, mera vaise bhi koi extravagant career nahi tha jo kharab ho jaye, aur bhai ka bohot sahi hai I don’t want a name against it Ashlesha” I nod at him

“Tell this to your sister Ashlesha, it won’t be good to her if she doesn’t keep her little mouth shut this time, I am not gonna spare ab mere saare cricket bats khali hi padenge tho I would really use them”

“Karthik I understand you are in pain but it’s my daughter you are talking about”

“I don’t give a shit about it sir,
I am sorry sir for how I talked to you but I am not sorry about how I talked about her”

“Karthik enough stop, relax” I run my fingers over his, he passes me a small smile

“Agar case kuch opposite hua tho mujhe lifelong jail mai rehna padega kya?”

“No, I will make sure you won’t aur ham case jeetenge”

“Patha nahi Ashi ye law bhi badi ajeeb cheez hai criminal ko pakadne ke liye jail mai daal diye hai, well what am I even talking? Tumhara injuries kaise hai how’s your health now”
