DESTINY (on hold)

16: I Love You

"I intend to make her my Queen, Kritika"

Everyone present inside the room blushed and gushed over the choice of Uday's words, he made the simplest word Romantic, everyone was convinced, except one person.

KRITIKA

Kritika rolled her eyes at the cheesy line Uday just spit out of his mouth.
"You are itself not a king, how exactly do you plan to make her your Queen, Raja sa!" Said Kritika lased with Sarcasm.

At this everyone started laughing their hearts out, Prince of Jaigarh was roasted rotten.
But Uday lightly laughed at the joke, he knew Kritika was just messing with him, he came here with two missions in his mind first to see his beloved would-be wife and second to ensure the girls are feeling okay and not sad over the accident, he was relived two achieve both.

As the laughing died down in the room, the door of the room opened again, the third time in the day, a silver-coloured trolly containing medical equipment and medicines came rolling in, the trolley was continued by a nurse and the Doctor in charge of Manyata.

The doctor walked in with the mind of seeing yet again a disheartened and sad family just like any other inside the hospital, but he was quite shocked after hearing the series of laughter.

"Doctor uncle, how is she?"
"When will she wake up?"

These two questions were asked by Pragya and Prachi who looked at him with big innocent eyes seeking for a possible positive answer.

"She is doing good her pulse rate and vitals are more stable than the early morning"

This made everyone smile in content.

"But her waking up can't be predicted, she is asleep in Coma, her body is paralyzed, we can't yet say when she will wake up"

Everyone's smile fell in an instant listening to this.

"But I can assure you keep talking to her, be close to her as much as you can, laugh more, there is an 87% possibility that she can hear us," he said with a hope of bringing back the smile he caused to go away, he was almost successful in that when everyone has a half-smile on their face.

"Yeah, I know, I know," said Rishi.

"No you don't, we have to make them fall in love not order them like our men," said Manav while animatedly moving his hands around.

Rishi just rolled his eyes, he was a man of few words, being a computer genius all his life he interacted with three people over and over again, Uday, Manav and his beloved computer, but Kritika came thrusting in his life making him feel something, he felt to dress up for her, he wanted her to look at him, he wanted her to love him, just like he did.

Rishi fell in love with her when he met her in Jaipur, while she was busy snapping photos of herself and her friends, she looked like a goddess to him, dressed in white, but after a while, only he realised she was not an angel but a devil who just hadn't opened her mouth, he clearly remembers her spitting colourful words at him and others and how cool she looked standing up against everyone. 

Manav on the other hand already had few evil plans cooking inside his mind, how he will confess to Kanika and how he will make her fall in love one day, he knows Kanika has a soft spot for him, but love is not something he expects from Kanika to reciprocate with him, he fell for Kanika while she was crying for help from Manyata, she made him want to protect her, love her, cherish her forever.

They both were in their own thoughts and were walking inside the hospital towards Manyata's room to visit her when a small body crashed into Rishi.
It was Kritika who was rushing down to the medical store for pads as her Periods came without a warning.
