Bewitched

Chapter 8

.
Mohit's POV

" Maya, Dadi maa put some sense into her. This is sheer blackmail. "

" No, she is absolutely right, I will also support your mom and do the same. She might survive as she is quite young as compared to me, but I am literally living on medicines. I won't survive if I stop taking them. But why would I want to live a longer life?? To. see you ruining your life?? No, I don't want to live either. " Daadi ma said.

" What has gotten into everyone?? "

" Go from here, but don't take my warning lightly or you would regret it later on. " Mom said bitterly.

" Maya... Say something to both of them. "

" What shall I say, they both are elder than me. I may not agree with their way to persuade you. But they are right, it is high time, you must settle down now. " She said.

" Has everyone gone mad?? "

" Go and think about it, but you have only one month to get married or you would lose one of us. Most probably it would be me. I don't want to die before I meet your wife or play with your children. I was living my life in the hope to see them soon but I don't want to live if there is no hope of seeing them. There is no motivation left in my life. " My daadi ma said.

" Dadi maa.. please don't talk like that, I love you... "

" You have exactly I month to find a bride for yourself and prove your love towards me or daadi ma now leave... I don't want to see you. You avoided me for too long... One month son... All the best. "

" That is not fair... I don't want to marry at all. "

" The ball is in your court now... That's all I have to say. No more discussion on it. " Mom said and just then the doctor came and asked me to come out when he saw us.

"Mr Paul, your mom is already under stress please stop this discussion. It will increase her anxiety. It would not be good for her health. " He said and I nodded and came out of the hospital.

Now, what was that?? What would I do now?? They all were against me now...

It was raining heavily, I was driving towards my penthouse and was still trying to find out a way to get out of the situation.

All of a sudden someone came running out of nowhere and before I could understand anything my car hit him hard.

I was so shocked, there was no one around as it was about 11 PM. I got out of my car and saw someone lying on the road. He was wearing a sweatshirt with a hoodie and blue denim.

Shit !!! What have I done??

I could not see the face. I went even closer to check if he was alright or not. I could feel the pulse. So at least he was alive.

I shook him lightly but it seemed that he was unconscious. I had to take him to the hospital. I picked him up on my shoulder. he was clutching a bag.

He was too light in weight and too soft. Must be a teenager boy. I placed him in my car and I started my car again and turned my car towards the hospital.

No !!! I can't do it...

I could not take him to the hospital as there might be a case against me. The reporters might make a hill out of a mole. I was already in tension. Could not add more to my miseries.

So I thought of taking him to my home instead of a hospital. I would call my doctor at home.

I turned to go to my penthouse. I parked my car near the lift and called the guard. I took out the young boy and picked him again. I gave the keys to the guard and asked him to open the door of my home.
