Ashwati's viewpoint :
"Pleaseeeee. I haven't gone out in so long." Kamlesh requested me with puppy dog eyes and I couldn't say no to it.
"Fine, but just for half an hour." I agreed.
"Works for me." He giggled, making a small grin appear on my face as well.
It's nearly midnight right now so I don't think we'll have any crowd problems. Its safe to take Kamlesh out for a ride right now.
"Ash, take this. It might help." Kamlesh offered me his hoodie.
"Thank you." I smiled and grabbed it.
I always wonder how caring he is. Everyone needs a person like him in their life.
"Let's go." He vibrantly said and I giggled at that.
"You're so over excited." I chuckled.
"You won't understand how caged I've been feeling recently. Finally I'm getting to go out." Kamlesh responded.
I realised that he's right. It must be so boring to stay home all day.
"Where do you want to go?" I asked Kamlesh after getting seated in the car.
I don't want Kamlesh to get into any trouble further, so I'll be driving us tonight.
"Maybe a food joint?" He suggested.
"Late night munching? Not a bad idea." I smirked at him.
"Of course." He giggled.
I started driving us through the smooth lanes of Mumbai. There's rarely a day when I get to see no traffic here. It feels so good to drive at this hour.
"Hey wait, isn't that Anushree?" Kamlesh asked me while directing his eyes towards a feminine figure.
I looked in that direction and verified that its actually her. Why is she walking on the streets at this hour?
Kamlesh asked me the same question and I told him that I've been wondering the same.
"Ghar hi jaa rahi hogi, drop kardete hain usko." He suggested and I agreed.
I drove front and was about to take the u-turn, when a car took the wrong lane and speedily drove towards Anushree.
The car lights are so blinding that I can't even see anything.
"Anushree!" Kamlesh exclaimed and made me stop the car.
He ran out impatiently and I followed him to see Anushree laying down on floor, after being hit by the car.
"Anushree.. tum theek ho?" Kamlesh asked her but she showed no response.
"Please wake up." He added crying and even shook her body, but she seems to be lifeless.
Kamlesh and I constantly tried to wake her up, but no miracle happened. She's breathing, we need to take her to a hospital as soon as we can.
"I'll drive, tum Anushree ke saath baitho." Kamlesh told me with teary eyes, while carrying her to my car.
He placed her on the back seat, with her head on my lap. Then he went forward and started driving us to the nearest hospital.
Anushree's body is spilling out too much blood, I'm so scared right. We need to save her at any cost.
"Please drive fast Kamlesh, she's losing her breath." I cried heavily.
"Oh no, just a minute. We're almost there." He replied in a teary voice.
Soon we reached the Nanavati hospital and carried Anushree inside. The doctors immediately took her towards the operating room on a stretcher.
They're saying that Anushree is in a critical situation and if she loses any more blood further, she might not make it out alive.
I need to inform Shubman about this. He needs to know all that has happened. After all, she's his wife.
Without giving it a second thought, I called him and he picked it up after a few rings.
"Hey Ash." He greeted me in his regular voice.
"Shubman.." I took his name, breaking down again.
How am I supposed to gather the courage to convey something like this to him? My heart won't allow me to do this.
"What happened Ash? Sab theek haina?" He asked me in a concerned voice.
"Anushree..." I whispered and started crying oceans.
"Kya hua Anushree ko?" He questioned me, sounding scared.
"Accident." I sobbed heavily.
"What?!" Shubman reacted loudly.
"Tum Nanavati hospital aa jaao, please. Anushree ki haalat bohat kharab hai." I cried out.
"I'm coming." He replied in a terrified tone and hung up.
I look behind to see Kamlesh sitting on a bench and crying a lot.
"Sab theek ho jaayega, please ro mat." I tried consoling him, though I'm highly worried on the inside as well.
"Her condition... I'm so scared." He cried even more.
I wrapped my arms around his neck to comfort him and rubbed his back. He held my waist in between his arms and cried his heart out.
I don't even know how to feel right now. Seeing Kamlesh like this is breaking me on the inside and about Anushree, it feels like my world is collapsing.
"Guys, Anushree kaisi hai?" Ishan came running to us, along with Samikhya.
Kamlesh must've informed them about the accident, cause I didn't and just the two of us are aware of it until now. Shubman's too, but I don't think its him.
"Pata nahi." Kamlesh shook his head and started crying all the more.
Samikhya started crying on hearing him, whereas Ishan was trying to console her. He himself is looking really disturbed.
Shubman's viewpoint :
"Shubman, kahan jaa raha hai?" Abhay asked me while I was running out of his building.
"Wait bro!" He added running behind me.
I reached my car and Abhay sat alongside me. I hastily started driving us to the hospital.
I'm so terrified on the insides right now. I don't know why I'm feeling so scared, but my heart can't stop rushing. I'm very anxious right now.
Abhay kept asking me some questions but I wasn't in a state to answer him. He then called up the boys and ultimately found out about Anushree meeting with an accident.
"Don't worry bro, she must be fine." Abhay tried consoling me and I just hummed to it.
As soon as I reached the hospital, I rushed to the reception.
"Mr. Gill, we were expecting you. Please come this way." The receptionist showed me the way to the room Anushree is in.
My feet stumbled as I reached the operation theater. Ashwati and Samikhya are crying heavily, whereas Ishan and Kamlesh are trying to console them.
Why are they crying so much? Its frightening me so much. Is Anushree in a very serious condition?
I know I hated her a lot, but I never wanted something like this to happen. I never wished for her to go through anything so traumatizing.
Its all my fault. If I had answered her calls and picked her up, I could've saved her. She's in this condition because of me.
"Anushree theek haina?" Abhay asked them.
"Uski treatment ho rahi hai, bohat critical condition hai." Ishan answered him.
I rushed to the room gate and through the glass door, I could see Anushree being operated upon. I can't really see her, but it looks very serious.
I'm feeling so bad right now. I'm the one to be blamed for driving her in such a condition.
"Ro mat Shub, sab theek ho jaayega." Abhay wiped off the teardrops rolling down my cheeks.
I didn't even realise when I started crying amidst my ocean of thoughts. Its so depressing to see Anushree in this state.
"Ab kyu ro raha hai tu? Naatak karne ki koi zarurat nahi, tu jaa apne ghar." Kamlesh called out at me.
"Kamlesh! Yeh kya bol rahe ho tum?" Ash scolded him.
He ignored her words and then came towards me.
"Tujhe toh khushi ho rahi hogi na Anushree ko aisi haalat mein dekhkar? Par main tujhe warning de raha hu. Agar use kuch bhi hua na, toh main tujhe kabhi maaf nahi karunga." Kamlesh warned me while holding my shirt collar.
"Stop it bro. Tujhe dikhta nahi kya ki woh already pareshaan hai?" Abhay scolded Kamlesh and distanced him from me.
"Anushree ke liye? Are you kidding me?" Kamlesh reacted in disbelief.
"Leave me alone." I mumbled and sank down on a seat.
"Stop with your acting Shubman. Yahan aisa koi nahi jiske saamne tujhe pretend karna pare. We all know tujhe koi emotions nahi hai Anushree ke liye. Agar hoti toh tu use kabhi iss state mein nahi aane deta. Pata nahi kitne tortures sahe hain usne tere, aur ab yeh." Kamlesh spat at me.
"What the hell is wrong with you? He's troubled already." Abhay started arguing with him.
"Chhor de Abhay, woh sahi keh raha hai." I mumbled with a heavy heart.
I've been so rude and mean to Anushree all the time that I don't even deserve grieving for her.
Its absolutely my fault that she's fighting for her life right now. I'm totally responsible for making her so weak, both mentally and now physically as well.
A heavy rush of tear drops started flowing down my cheeks as I was reminded of all the things Anushree told me this morning.
She was totally right. I've been torturing her all along, just because I wanted to run away from my problems by blaming her for it.
I kept judging her for everything but she kept on loving me, no matter how badly I treated her.
She did everything for me and the only thing I gave her in return was hate. She must be going through so much because of me.
Its true, that I never even tried understanding her. She always respected my emotions and tried making me happy by everything she could do. In return, I only kept scolding her for every effort she used to put in for me.
I kept thinking of her as a gold digger and someone who uses my family, failing to understand that she's the sunshine who's loved by all because of her precious nature.
She was intimated by me for so long, yet never uttered a word against me to anyone. Instead, it was me who kept humiliating her in front of everyone and making her feel bad about herself.
I made her so miserable. I kept blaming her for ruining my life, but it was me who was ruining her. I used to think that she doesn't deserve me, but truth is that its me who never deserved her love.
I'm gonna apologise her for everything as soon as she gains consciousness. She's such a sweet and understanding person, I'm sure she'll forgive me and accept the new me.
I'll give her all the love she deserves now and always make her smile. I'll forever treat her like the princess she is.
"Doctor, how's she?" I heard Abhay question the doctor and looked up to see them.
"The operation went well right now, but I can't say much. Most of her organs are damaged and it's going to be really tough for her." He answered in a serious voice.
My heart started feeling even more depressed and anxious on hearing his words.
"Please save her." The others requested the doctor.
"We're trying our best." He responded and then left us alone again.
I'm feeling so restless. I'm not even able to talk to anyone, or say anything.
All I'm waiting for is for Anushree to take my name and then for me to talk to her, to sort out everything between us.
I want to make her happy, to bring a wide smile on her face and the reason behind it being me.
I promise you Anushree, I won't break your heart ever again. We'll start over again and lead a happy life now.
