Hating Her

Chapter-17

Brinda's pov

It's been two days to Adhvik's arrest, and finally, he got a bail. He must have reached his place by now, and i want to talk to him. He must be really upset. I can't go to his place.

I dialed his phone number after almost 2 and half years, and yeah, he still hasn't unblocked me. That makes sense! He had blocked me from each and every platform!

Ugh! What do i do now?
Email!
Yeah, i can send him an email!

'Hey Adhvik! I just realized that you still have blocked me and each of my social media accounts, so i had no other option but to email you as i can't even come to your house.

I know you hate me but can you meet me? Just once. I know you are stressed and avoiding any sort of public appearance, but I'll handle that. We can meet at our park.
Are you up for it?
You can still continue to hate me. Just meet me once, please.
I'll be waiting for your reply.'

I sent the email without any second thoughts!
Shit!
I should have re checked it once!
What kind of idiot are you, Brinda?

This is so cringe! Why the hell did i have to write about how he has blocked me!!
And our park!!

God, why can't we unsend an email?

After around an hour, he replied, " I am tired today. We can meet tomorrow."

He doesn't sound alright! I want to meet him today only! Please be alright!

I dialed his number from a different device but it was switched off. What should i do now?

I quickly googled the phone number of the designing house Nishtha works for. I got their office contact, but due to all these news she wouldn't be going to the office! I still decided to call the number.

"I am Swati from 'Aradhna Couture'. How may i help you?" The girl on the other side said.

"I need to talk to one of your designers as i need dresses for uh... my brother's wedding." I said, making an excuse.

"Uhh ma'am what type....."

"I need to talk to Ms. Nishtha Rathore! I have heard a lot about her." I said, cutting her off.

"Ma'am Ms. Rathore is not available today. You can talk to someone else, or you can wait a few days if you want her to design your outfits." The girl replied.

"Can i get her contact information?" I asked.

"I am sorry, ma'am. We can't share personal details!" The girl said, and i huffed in annoyance.

I am having a really bad feeling. Something is very wrong.

"I'll buy your most expensive dress!" I offered.

"Ma'am i am sorry i can't share Ms. Rathore's personal details with you!" The girl replied.

I need her number at any cost. I have to talk to Adhvik. Can i buy their brand? Then i can get all the information about the employees!

No, Brinda!
They already hate you enough.

"She knows me. Look, i am Brinda Mittal, the M.D. of Mittal Enterprises. You can trust me!" I said.

"And i am Nita Ambani!" She mocked.

"So Mrs. Ambani, why don't you give me her contact number after asking her once or just get her on conference call!" I said, taking a deep breath, trying not to lose my temper.

"I'll take her on conference." She replied. God, she loves other people's drama! If she was my employee, I'd have fired her by now!

"Yeah till the time you realize that she knows me, and after that, let us have our privacy." I said.

"Yeah, whatever!" She said and added Nishtha to the call.

"Swati, i told you i won't be able to work for some time, then why are you calling me?" I heard Nishtha's voice.

"Ms. Rathore...."

"Nishtha, it's me, Brinda! Don't hang up, please! It's urgent." I said.

"I don't want to talk to you!" Nishtha replied curtly.

"Umm.. Mrs. Ambani, i hope you are done here and so I'll call her personally now since i got her number." I said to the girl and disconnected the call.

I called Nishtha again.
Please pick it up!
Answer the damn phone, Nishtha!

After what felt like eternity, she finally decided to answer my call.

"What do you want, Brinda? You have done enough damage to my brother, so please stop now!" Nishtha said in a pleading tone.

"I just want to talk to him just once." I said.

"Why do you think I'll help you." Nishtha said.

"Nishtha, look, i am having this very bad feeling about something. Please, just please let me talk to him just once. Or maybe you talk to him, I'll just listen to his voice and won't speak a word i promise." I tried to convince her.

"I don't know why am i doing this, but I'll do it, but remember, it's me who'll talk to Adhvik, not you." Nishtha warned.

"Yeah." I said, and after some time, i heard her knocking.

"Adhvik"
"Adhvik"
"Adhvik"
"Open the door."
"ADHVIK! Open the damn door right now!" I heard Nishtha's panicked voice from the other side.

Why the hell is he not opening the door? Please be alright. Please be alright. Please be alright. Please be alright. Please be alright. Please be....

"ADHVIK! ADHVIK! Open your eyes! Dammit!"

No. No. No.

"Nishtha! Nishtha wh... what happened?" I asked, panicking badly. My heart is beating wildly.

"I... he.. bri... he... he committed sui... suicide." As those words left Nishtha's mouth, i felt like someone stabbed me right in my heart.

"He... ambu... call the fucking ambulance! Don't panic Nishtha he'll be alright! Is Rudra or Mrs. Rathore there?" I asked, looking for the keys of my car.

"Rudra and Maa are home. They just entered hearing me shouting. Rudra called the ambulance, and maa tied a cloth around his wrist to control bleeding." She said in a single breath, her voice cracking.

"I am on my way to the hospital, and I'll inform Riddhi to prepare for the operation. Just get him to the hospital and don't panic. He... he'll be okay! He has to be okay..." I said, trying to remain calm when i feel like i am dying every passing second.

She murmured a little thank you and disconnected the call, and i also got out of my cabin and told Ms. Anita to handle the media around the hospital area.

After that, i quickly got settled in my car by now after giving Riddhi a brief up about the entire situation.

Why did you do it, Adhu?
Why just why didn't you think of your family?
What about your mother, your siblings?
What about..... me?

I continued driving, wiping my tears, which were continuously flowing down my eyes.

You have to be okay, Adhu, because i don't know what will i do without you?
I don't know how to live without you!

What the hell are you thinking, Brinda!! He'll be okay! Kanhaji is here. He'll help us. Don't worry.

I tried to calm myself into taking deep breaths, but my body was shivering badly.

You should have waited, Adhu! I was looking for the real culprit. Why didn't you wait for me...?
