Eyes Part II

Chapter 15

"Willa, why can't I accept her? Why does it feel that something is stopping me from accepting her? Why?" I asked her picture.

"Because of your guilt," a familiar voice said. I recognise this voice. I can never forget this voice. Her voice. Willa's voice. I turned around and she was standing wearing a saree. She was looking so charming.

"Guilt of not knowing about me. You think that you will fail again as a may. But Aanav, you never failed. And the promise you made also stopped you from accepting Ivy. Remember, you promised me that there will be no one in this world whom you would love like me," she asked making me remember the promise. I nodded. She sat beside me.

"Aanav, you have to move on. I'm your past while Ivy is your present. Love her as you loved me. She married you with the hope that you will love her one day. Moon Goddess has chosen her for you. At least respect Moon Goddess choice," she said while playing with my hair.

"Bit Willa I can never forget you," I said.

"Who good you to forget me? You can never forget me even if you try. I'm a part of your life," she said.

"Aanav confess your feelings for her. Don't keep her in the dark. Confess before something happens. Confess and move on," she said and rested her lips on mine. Then she stood up and took backward steps.

"Confess your love and let me be free," she said with teary eyes.

A light started surrounding her. I kept looking at her until I couldn't tolerate the brightness. I closed my eyes and opened them to see the sun rays falling on my face.

It was a dream.

But it felt so real. I went out of the room and everything was quite. I was going towards my room when my phone rang. It was an unknown number.

"Hello, Aanav speaking," I said entering my room.

"Hello sir, this is from Techno Hospital. There was an accident and we found your number from the patient's phone. Can you please come here and see if the patient is related to you or not," a lady said. I hung up the call after telling her that I'll be there in an hour.

It's not Ivy. Maybe somebody stole her phone and dropped it there. Maybe she was passing the crime scene and her phone dropped. I tried to console myself. I reached the hospital and told the receptionist about the call. She told me to go to the Operation Theatre. I reached the OT and saw Aakav there.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I came here with Zara for her appointment and I found Ivy's phone at the reception and I'm here." He took ivy's phone out of his pocket and handed me the phone.

"Stay here. I'm coming," he said and went somewhere probably to Zara.

A nurse came out of the room. I asked her about Ivy. She didn't tell much but only told that the cab in which she was sitting had been hit by a truck.

I sat on the ground clutching her phone close to my chest. I unlocked her phone. Her wallpaper is of me sleeping. I was going through her phone when by mistake I opened the Note app. A note catches my eye. I opened it.

Yesterday, I had my marriage with the guy I love Aanav. I don't know how I started developing feelings for him. Our marriage is different. The type of marriage you would find in books.

I also saw his wedding album, yesterday and I promised myself that on our wedding anniversary he will be happy to be married. To me. So let's start the mission.

Mission :

A loves I.

13 March 2021

I'm so hurt. Aanav pushed me two times. First, because according to him I had worn Willa's dress. I didn't wear it, Zara forced me to wear it. I didn't even know that the dress was Willa's. I let it go. Even I would have done that same thing in his situation. But the second time he pushed me it was too much. First, he came to my room and cupped my cheeks. He started leaning in but pushed me and left and it hits like... I think I cannot make him fall in love with me. I failed in this mission. I think I should leave him. I can't tolerate it anymore.

The last note brought more tears to my eyes. I only thought about my feelings, not her. How selfish I have been!

~√~√~

It's around 11 p.m. and Ivy's health is the same. Doctors are trying their best to make her open her eyes. I saw many doctors going in and out of her room. This is the third time she is in the OT. I just pray that she will be alright.

~√~√~

The next morning I had the hope that she'll be fine. But it broke when the doctor said that she is not responding to any treatment. She had been transferred to another room.

Later in the afternoon, the doctor told me to go to the CT scan room on the ground floor. I ran there as fast as I could. The nurses have taken her there for the scan.

I went to the stretcher behind the green curtain where was kept. Seeing her my heart melted inside me. Never in my worst nightmare could I have seen her this way. Her innocent face had suffered so many injuries.

I saw her hand, coming out from under the bed sheet at my side. I held her hand and started crying. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked back to see Zara standing behind me, looking at her. Aakav approached her from the other side.

"We have to take her for the scan," a nurse said. We all helped in shifting Ivy from the stretcher to the scanner.

I stayed in the room holding her hand. The nurse gave me a jacket to protect me from the rays.

After that, she was taken to the ICU.

I sad before the ICU and realised that today is the second death anniversary of Willa.
