The operation theatre bulb glowing since past 4 hours, not a word from anyone’s mouth, the silence was not comforting in fact very tensed, sweat trickling down the forehead, uneven breath, rapid heartbeat, the sound of silent sobs were only heard, every passing minute felt difficult, this was not the situation of one, this was the situation of all most every person standing outside the operation theatre.
Ahaan entered the area just now, looking at their pale faces, it showed the situation wasn’t better, he silently went and sat on the provided seats. Suddenly some commotion made them look over.
“Kaha hai ashu?” asks rather shouts Mr. Sachdev, a hysterically crying anisha makes her way into her father’s arms
“I am sorry papa, I am really sorry papa, I couldn’t protect my sister, I failed papa, I didn’t keep my word to you I am sorry” says hiding in his chest
“Anu, control yourself beta, ashu ko hua kya hai? Bata anu” her mother requests her
Before she says anything, Mr. Sachdev releases himself from anisha’s hold and holds his collar all of a sudden who was sitting lifelessly in the corner.
“Pyaar kiya tha na meri beti se kaha chali gayi thi tumhara pyaar? Usse protect bhi nahi kar paaye ho? Firse usse hospital mai dekhna pad raha hai tumhare wajah, I thought to give you a chance but you proved me wrong, after all tum sab cricketers aise hi ho, pyaar karo, ghoomo, jab zaroorat ho musibat mai hai tho chodke chale jao, yehi haina tumhara policy, agar usse kuch hua na chodunga nahi tumhe” he shouts in rage
“Sir this is an hospital please maintain your ethics” a nurse says and passes
“Papa please, karthik ki koi galti nahi hai, in fact gun karthik ko hi pointed thi, par ashu khud beech mai aagayi, it all happened in a fraction of seconds” anu cried remembering everything
“Anil, calm down ye time nahi hai ye sab baate ka, ashu is a fighter she will come back don’t worry” consoles her husband
~•💓•~
“Ahaan, tum ghar jao, tumhe jaana bhi haina, jao just go and do your last minute packing” ishqi says
“Are you mad, tum sabko iss haal mai chod ke? Ashu jab tak thik nahi ho jaati tab tak kahi nahi jaa raha hun” gulping down his emotions
“I know ahaan, trust me its more painful for me to see her like this, but fate keeps on playing with her, with us, aur jo bhi ho tumhe jaana hoga, you told right country comes first” sits beside him
“I know, but I don’t want to ishqi, I love my job, I fucking love my job, but this part of my job I hate it, I give pain to all the important women of life due to this” closes his fist tighter
“You never gave pain, you always gave pride, and I know you will be giving it further” rubs his hands
“How do you manage to be strong at this moment ishqi? Ashu is much closer to you” his eyes were wet by now
“Shayad uske saath rehte rehte mai bhi strong ban gayi, and she will be fine, I know” replies him
“Yaa she will be” with a sad smile on his face
“Ahaan tumhe ghar jaana hai”
“Court se ghar chala jaunga” replies in a nonchalant tone
“Court jaane ki zaroorat nahi hai” says controlling her anger
“Kya matlab?”his shock was evident on his face
“Case postponed hai, vaibhav missing hai, ashu hospitalized hai so no point in the hearing” declares
“Oh” suddenly his face changed colors
“Are you okay ahaan? You don’t seem alright?”
“I am not good, but I will be better” forces a smile
“What’s wrong ahaan? You came hours later of ashu being admitted? Everything good?”
“Kaam tha ishqi, leave that” replies without looking at her
“Kaam? Tum apne cricket tour mai apna availability cancel karne ke liye tayyar the kuch minute pehle and tumhe kaam hai karke bologe tho mai maan jaungi? What’s wrong ahaan?”
“Leave that ishqi, you trust me right?” there was silence at the other end, she wanted to scream out yes but didn’t
“Oh right, we might not be at that phase right? You still don’t trust me?” it unknowingly turned out to be harsh
“It’s not like what you think ahaan, I tru..., he cuts her in between
“When you don’t mean it don’t say it”
“Ahaan I don’t want this, especially now, I am trying to be strong please don’t do this” holds his hand
His eyes soften, he moves close to her and wraps his arms around her pulling her closer, sniffing her scent at that moment everything goes blank, her scent, the presence nothing felt more comforting to him, he felt his shirt going wet.
The strong demure she held broke, the fact that ashu has been shot in front of her had brought back her memories, how strong she might look outside but inside deaths scared her, and when ashu was shot with 3 bullets, she was straight unconscious, 4 hours still no positive sign even the mere thought of anything happening to ashlesha was eating her up, she didn’t even waste a second when doctors had asked for her blood, she went ahead to donated her blood instead of anisha.
Seeing the family condition she maintained a strong armor, but his arms were always her strength and even her weekness, she didn’t shed a tear till now but now tears were falling uncontrollably he didn’t stop her tears but rubbed her back in a comforting manner, at a moment he felt stupid asking her that at this moment.
“I love you ishqi” mumbles slowly
~•💓•~
“She is stable now, but still can’t say anything, need to keep under observation” the doctor
“Kya matlab can’t say anything? This is the best hospital in Delhi you are one of the best surgeon she should be fine right, ye can’t say anything kya hota hai?” Mr. Sachdev growls
“Mr. Sachdev calm down, this a hospital and it has it’s set of rules, and coming to your daughter she had 3 bullets in her body, it’s hard to take them out, and 2 of the bullets hit her rib cage, it broke her bones, 6 hours surgery karne ke liye ham pagal nahi hai, if she responds in 24 hours well and good nahi tho she can slip into coma, I did my best baaki bhagwaan ke upar”
“Aap mujhe jaante nahi hai doctor mai kya kar sakta hun, agar meri beti ko kuch hua na
“Anil stop it, I am sorry doctor, thanks for all you have done, we will hope for the best” the doctor leaves, even karthik leaves in the other direction
“Mai ek minute mai aaya” ahaan leaves behind him
He runs behind to match the pace with his brother, and there he was standing in front of ganesh murthi placed in the centre of the corridor, to be honest he was shocked, if karthik performs any holy activity it was only because of the persistence of his mother but now he was standing in front of god holding his hands, ahaan was the spiritual one of them, but karthik never tried to believe in god he was always the typical gen-z guy with a modern outlook on life, but seeing him in the praying he realized how hard it would be on him, 22 year old guy searching for success and then suddenly having feelings for a girl but being stuck in a complicated relationship with her and now from no where she went forward and rescued him keeping her life in danger.
He sensed the guilt his brother was going through as he was going close to him, tapping on his shoulder, karthik comes out of a daze, and the tears on his face didn’t go unnoticed by his him, before they could talk karthik buries his face in ahaan’s shoulders and silently weeps out
At this moment he felt the quote right,
Hospitals have heard more prayers than temples.
“Kyun bhai? Why did she did this? Mere upar hi bullet lagta na why her? Why is it always her? Kyun hai bhagwaan itne cruel? Happiness tho chodo she deserves peace at least”
“She is a fighter karthik, she will come back don’t worry” cajoles him
“I know she will, but again the same story, I want to fucking kill that vaibhav, bhaag gaya sala, ek baar dikh jaye chodunga nahi”
“Bhaaga nahi hai, karthik”

The VIP section of the hospital was all quite, everyone checking upon ashlesha time to time through the small glass of the ICU door, though she was far away, they could observe her quite well, her face was all pale various machines attached to her body, just an even breath no further movement than that. A shrill noice of ishqi’s phone ringed in the corridor, excusing her self she comes afar, and frowns seeing the caller id, maasi calling in such early morning?
“Maasi, sab thik hai? Itni subah?”
“Hamara chodo vaha pe sab thik hai?”for the first time she didn’t feel the comfort in her voice.
“Aap news dekhe ho?”
“Apno ke baare hi news mai faila hua hai tho kya hi kare? Log bhi dikha lenge, chal kya raha hai ishqi?” the warmth was missing, her tone was quite cold for ishq’s liking
“Maasi aap chinta mat kijiye operation hogaya hai, aur kuch dher mai hosh aajayega tho sab thik ho jayega”
“Tum ashlesha ke baare mai baat kar rahi ho?”
“Aur kiske baare mai baat karungi maasi?” asks with surprise
“Tumhare baare mai?” in a stern tone
“Mai thik hun maasi” confirms her
“Vo tho mujhe dikh raha hai, tv mai”
“Kya baat kar rahe ho?”
“Lagta hai tumne abhi tak news nahi dekhi ho, dekho aur mujhe call karo agar tumhare andhar himmat bachi tho” with that the call ends
Her frown increases hearing her, she reluctantly opens youtube to check what’s happening her hands freeze seeing the article that came up
“Vice captain Ahaan Veer Malhotra dating a common girl, both seen in a intimate position, Click to know more”
Controlling the lump in her throat she opens the video
Vice captain of indian cricket team Ahaan Veer Malhotra has posted an instagram post yesterday saying ‘HER>>>’ but then he disabled the comments, the face of the girl wasn’t visible, but now some of our sources showed a picture of them hugging each other in the hospital.
Reports claim that she is a common girl, apparently a journalist in Headlines today, and she interviewed Ahaan long back, but now looks like the young man fell in the trap and is with her now, stay tuned for more updates
COMMENTS:
Such sluts won’t even last
|
Throwing yourself on a man doesn’t make you a girlfriend
|
Again the same story, these bitch girls won’t change always trapping rich guys for money
|
Why is he even dating her, she isn’t pretty like his ex-girlfriend Maya.
|
Eww so cheap, he comes for a interview and she traps him? These girls just do anything for money.
The same memory of people taunting her comes back onto her head, fat tears falling from her eyes, maasi’s words made sense now, she got to know the reason for cold tone of maasi, it was like her worst nightmare was coming true.
How sad was fate playing with them, one shot with gun, while the other shot with camera, apparently both brought pain, one is going through the physical pain and one with the emotional.
Ahaan was walking along with karthik in the corridor, he was all set to leave he bid a bye everyone present there except her, he was searching all over the corridor, finally he found her but this time he didn’t get relief in fact he was shook seeing her unconscious on the ground
