Our Way Back

22. Flashback 2: The fall

  *****Flashback continues*****

Adnan saw Vishal's classmates leave the college and yet he didn't see Vishal nor did Rushi and Advika had returned yet. He thought Vishal directly went near the car so even he left the canteen with sandwiches for all 3 of them.

Adnan stood near his car waiting for them but 10-15mins passed still there was no sign of the three of them so he called Vishal.

Vishal didn't pick up so he called Rushi, even he didn't pick up and Advika's phone was with him in his bag so there was no meaning to call her.
                        ******
Vishal left the classroom and stopped around the corner of the floor. He was totally unaware what betrayal felt like. He had his best days of his life with her.

Though he was extremely happy with Rushi since school and then he met Advika and through her he met Adnan.

Advika was a "broken-yet-i-pretend-very-well-that-i-am-happy" kind of person. She had a perfect life on the outside but when they got to know her more they knew she was a lost child no matter how mature she behaved.

A

dvika didn't reply to Rushi. She did not know what to say to him. She instead made Rushi leave her arm and headed to find Vishal.

She left the room knowing she was fucked up badly. Her life already had enough cracks and Adnan-Rushi-Vishal were the pillars which held her strong for almost 4-5 years now!

He long trail of thoughts was quickly cut off when she saw Vishal heading down the floor. She increased her pace to catch up with him and called out his name twice but he didn't look back once instead increased his pace but she caught him by his arm and stopped him with a jerk.

"Vishal talk to me please...Vish", she pleaded to him with her voice cracking with every word she uttered.

"Exactly! Talk! Isn't it what we had decided, no matter what it is we would talk it out and tell each other, then why did you go to someone else to talk your heart out? Okay if you would have told me before I wouldn't have stopped you from meeting him and even you know this Advika, but seriously, this isn't what I expected out of you!", here even Vishal's voice cracked up until the last sentence.

He couldn't even imagine her with someone else. Vishal was very possesive about his close ones and he would never forget what he felt that day ever in his life!

"Vishal it was all a mistake, we were forced to meet please trust me", Advika pleaded fighting the tears forming in her eyes.

Vishal jerked off her hand and started going down the stairs. Advika stormed after him, in his hurry to ignore her he was literally running down the stairs not even looking properly at the stairs because his vision was blurred with the tears of pain.

During the lunch breaks students of the junior college used to sit on the stairs to have their food and chit chat with friends.

While Vishal was practically running down the stairs he didn't notice the slightly oily stair.

Advika who was just behind him tried to get hold of him to stop him from running but in the attempt to not let her touch him Vishal slipped his foot over that slight oil and in that moment of hurry he slipped real bad down the stairs.

Advika literally saw him slip down and her felt her heart stop for a second with the sight unfolding in front for her eyes.

"VISHAL!", Advika was loud enough to gather people's attention.

Students who were still in the hall down there looked in the direction of the stairs and hurried to help Vishal. He didn't seem much hurt physically.

Advika too ran down taking care to not slip down as him.
Someone boy who was helping vishal sit asked him whether he was okay but Vishal didn't reply anything.

Advika ran towards him and sat kneeling beside him and held him towards her, "Vishal...are you-", words weren't leaving her throat and before she could say anything further she felt Vishal putting more of his weight on her.

She wrapped her arms around him protectively and was mumbling to him to look her once. She patted his cheek innorder to keep him concious when she saw his vision blurring. Some girl gave him water but he didn't drink rather he couldn't drink.

Rushi had waited for 2 mins in the classroom after she left to calm himself down and then he left the room.

He reached down the building to see Advika almost on the verge of breaking down holding Vishal in her arms. He was confused looking at the scenario so went closer to them.

He heard Advika mumbling, "Vishal please look at me", she tried to find something in her bag, "fuck fuck fuck....mera phone Addu ke paas hai...Vishal stay with me please keep listening to my voice okay."

"Fuck Advika what's wrong with him..."

Boy who helped vishal said looking at Rushi "He slipped off the stairs"

Rushi helped Advika as she wasn't able to take all of his weight.

Adnan came inside the college building to look out for the three of them and found them like this. Rushi asked him to help him take Vishal to the car and he was completely unconscious by now.

Adnan couldn't understand what was happening so he just followed whatever Rushi said. Advika asked Adnan for the car keys and he threw them at her quickly.

"Bring him to the front gate I'll get the car", saying this she practically ran away towards the car.

Advika built up the almost shattered wall of hers knowing she had to keep herself together for Vishal atleast cause in the end it was all her fault.

She quickly got the car to the front gate. Rushi Adnan carefully put Vishal in the back seat and Rushi sat in with Vishal holding his head on his shoulders.

Adnan got into the front seat and Advika quickly drove them to the hospital.
