The Broken Doctor

27 - Memory loss?

Deepu's POV:

" Vellipo vijay (Get out vijay), just get away from my life. I am accustomed to my lonely life. Don't try to enter into it. I don't want anyone especially not you. I don't want you. Just get out from here & let me live in peace " I said those harsh words and ran away from him.

Tears started rolling down my cheeks. I don't know why. There were mixed emotions within me that I can't describe. There was an unknown heaviness in my heart which I can't bear. With those heavy feelings I moved upstairs towards my room. I was about to enter the room but stopped by a tug at the end of my kurthi.

I turned to see who it was. There he is, Krishna with an innocent smile which made my lips curved upwards. I kneeled down to reach his level.

"Why are you crying Deepu? " He asked. I immediately turned away my face and wiped my tears.

" No, I am not crying. Some dust fell in my eyes " I replied with a shaky voice trying to hold my tears.

"I know you were crying. That Hero said something to you right. I saw you both talking and then you started crying. I won't leave him. He is very bad. I will beat him Dishoom Dishoom on his face " he said making his hands into fists and punching in the air, which made me laugh.

For a 7 year old kid, he is very understanding , caring and intelligent.
He is one of the kids in the orphanage. But he is really close to my heart.
This little kid always reminded me of Kanna. Not only both have same name but both are equally protective of me. This little kid can't see me in tears just like my Kanna. He always cheers me up when I am gloomy and sad just like now.

"No Kanna, Vijay is not bad. He is a very good guy. By the way, who thought this beating and Dishoom Dishoom. Only bad boys do that. Are you a bad boy ? " I asked that little kid.

"No no ,I am not a bad boy. I am very good boy. But you only said na that who make others cry are bad, then that Hero is bad not me. He made you cry, he is very very bad. I won't leave him " said the little kid infront of me with gritted teeth. He is so protective of me.

Even though I was angry at Vijay for what he did that night , I don't want anyone to think that he is a bad guy. I don't know why I am trying to defend him. Except for that one incident there is no other fault in him. He is a perfect gentleman. A part of me is warning me to stay away from Vijay, other part is saying that he is a good guy. I don't know what to follow.

Leave all that , first I need to handle this little demon infront of me. Anger is evident in his face. To divert his mind I started sniffing as if there is some bad smell.

"What happened ?" He asked with confusion.

" Bad smell.... Wait a minute, it's coming from you " I said sniffing him. He look confused. He raised his hands and sniffed his own self. I was trying hard to control my laughter seeing his actions.

" Did you had your bath? " I asked controlling my laughter. He nodded his head in no. " Chee..... Yaak!!! You are smelling like a pig , go and have a bath immediately " I said closing my nose with one hand & fanning with other hand. He instantly ran from there and I bursted into laughter. How cute he is..!!! Only he has the power to change my mood instantly just like now. A minute before I was crying and sad, but now I am laughing seeing his cute antics.

"Deepu... Deepu.." I heard someone shouting my name from downstairs.

I moved towards railing to see who that was. It's Kanna's father, founder of this orphanage and old-age home.

"Mamayya... Em aindhi?(father in law...what happened?) I asked from upstairs. I can see visible tension and worry in his face.

" Come down fast. Vijay Devarakonda fainted " he said. I was shocked. What happened to him suddenly? He was fine while talking to me. I thought he left from here. Leaving aside these thoughts I reached downstairs immediately.
