Chapter 31
Aashna's POV
I was fallen to the ground, my eyes trying to find sleep. My neck was still hurting, the given blood which kept oozing out of it.
I then realised a tall figure standing right at the door coming towards me in panic. My blurred vision was unable to recognise the person, but when he came closer to me and kept my head on his lap, I realised it was Sanket. I kept trying to keep my eyes open but my body wasn't wanting it. It wanted sleep, a deep sleep.
Before I realised, I felt Sanket holding a cloth on my wound on the neck, trying to stop the blood. He kept saying words to me which I didn't quite decipher.
"Keep your eyes open baby, you can't sleep. Keep your eyes open do-dont shut them.." he kept saying the words to not make me close my eyes, not wanting me to go into a deep sleep.
I realised sounds of people around us calling for the medicals and them rushing over to get them here. But sanket was seated there kneeled trying his best to keep me alive.
"I-i'm ok-okay." I stuttered, words not coming out of my dried weak mouth, wanting him to calm down a bit.
"Yes baby I know that, and you will be okay, we will get the fucking medicals here get you the best treatment. You will be okay, okay? You are okay!" He just tried to be optimistic not only for me, but it seemed like the words were also for himself.
"Ok-okay." I said, words hardly coming out of my mouth. Before I realised, I felt my eyes shutting.
I gave up. I couldn't handle it anymore, the pain, the sleep my body needed. I fluttered my lashes before shutting them and instantly I heard Sanket waking me up. As much as I forced my eyes to open, they were adamant to be shut.
I thought of Sanket, when I first shut my eyes. The less but much valuable time we've spent together. Our first kiss, the way he makes me feel special. Our date. Our first date. All I could remember was our happy memories. But then, I felt a shake to my body, someone was shaking me.
I faintly heard someone, which was Sanket calling out my name and trying his best to make me keep my eyes open. I fluttered them open slowly, as I gave a small smile to Sanket.
"Thank god, thankyou, thankgod honey keep your eyes open for me. You can't leave me like that, I won't let you leave me like that, understand?" He said with worry all over his face. I took a moment to look at his facial features. He had sweat all over his face but also a smile he held up for me after he completed his sentence.
I just nodded my head and groaned as my neck ached, a lot.
"Won't leave you" I whispered as much as I could speak. Thankfully my throat wasn't that ruined or destroyed to not speak despite of the intense attack on my neck. He smiled when I said that and before I realised, the medicals were there. They grabbed my body, lay me on that rack or something and took me somewhere.I was at peace with my eyes shut, I gave a little rest to my body. I felt Sanket's hands entwined with me the whole time and the rest rushing along with the medical people, I guess.
I was in a deep sleep.
Bullet shots.
Me and Sanket were hiding from the enemies who had come over our mansion to attack. Us.
What have I even gotten myself into? I was leading a normal life without these enemies or guns or anyone just me, my family and my simple life. Yes it was boring but atleast it didn't have This.
But on the other hand, if I think about the life with Sanket, it's all worth it. Whether it's guns or swords, if I do have Sanket by my side, it is worth it! Because no matter what the circumstance, if Sanket is by my side, we can face it all happily together. And this, I've realised recently.
Even during the fight, just before the attack happened I mean when we got to know that it was going to happen, sanket was the one telling me to go run away for my life. But I didn't. How could I leave him or anyone for death just like that?
We were about to leave the mansion on its own, but boom, there was a gun shot just through our bullet proof front wall. The duo attackers were now infront of us pointing the guns towards us. That was the time, when I was lost of thoughts, words and anything that I could do to get out of this situation. I just did one thing and that was to stand infront of Sanket to get the shot, so that he is saved. I know we loved each other, we had started to trust each other but this, this was different.
I not only love him but also can give up my life for him. Our relationship or just my feelings had grown so much for him that we were at a stage that we could sacrifice ourselves for each other.
Just then, Sanket grabbed my wrist and made me run. We jumped off the window seal like it was just a little rock on our way and went towards the backside of the mansion.
"Are you crazy? How can you come infront of me like that? What if he would've shot it?" He says as his jaw was clenched with fury eyes.
"I would've got killed." I said shrugging my shoulders.
"Don't you dare say that. I will get killed before you ever." He doesn't complete the sentence. His eyes were filled with concern, anger, bloodshot still clenching his jaws in fury.
"No one will get killed." I said and I wrapped my hands around his upper back in order to hug him. I knew he was concerned for me, but I was too. There was no point in this argument of who will get killed first because I know we both can do anything for each other. And that statement what he just said, was the proof of that.
When I hugged him, I felt him getting relaxed from the slight anger. He put his arms around my back and hugged me back. His chin was upon my face and he kissed my hair.
The moment was just getting peaceful, calm and beautiful before I heard something loud.
One more gunshot.
The guy who shot a bullet at the wall behind us warned us to get away and raise our hands in order to submit to him. We did so as his gun point was still at the both of us.
"It's your turn first, baby." The guys infront of us pointed their guns towards me. Am I dying?
The both of them pulled the trigger. Everything was at slow motion now. They were about to shoot but then Sanket came infront of me.
Before I even realised, he had taken the bullet. The bullet was shot right through him and he fell to the ground, dead.
I gasped and woke up.
It was a dream.
I held my head in my hands to forget the nightmare I just had. I looked around me later to see the doctor and the nurse.
"Where's Sanket?" Those are the first words that left my mouth when I woke up from my deep sleep.
