Aashiqui 3 -FANFICTION

(10)

*Okayyy I'm soryyyy for taking such a long gap. :p
But here's the update!!!  Soooo Enjooyyyyyy!!!! :))*

                 *********

Aarohi:

"Yes Sir..yes..I'll be there tomorrow. Yes I promise I won't be late. Yes. Ok sir see you tomorrow". 
I let out a long sigh after the call. It was a music director reminding me of tomorrow's recording.
Once more ..I have to go there, sing song where Rahul will not be present to encourage me just by being there. He won't be there to hug me. He won't be there to kiss me. Once more I have to go there , lifeless as I am since he's gone. Once more I'll start crying in the studio and they'll cancel the contract.

"No. You won't do that" a strange voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Rahul!?" I exclaimed in surprise as I saw Him standing right in front of me wearing the same clothes he wore the day he left. "Are you back?" I asked with tears in my eyes.

"I never left you" he smiled. "You know I'm always here with you.  And about the singing and contract, how dare you thought you'll ruin it? You're one of the best idol this industry has. You can never ruin any song alright."

"But last time while recording I started crying and they just aksed me to cancel the recording. Well I understand that was my fault. Who'd want to destroy their song by taking such an absent -minded singer." I said looking at him.
"Are baba! Why won't you listen to me. Don't argue with me okay. I won't let you win. That's it." He said contradicting me.
"But please tell me Rahul you're here for real na? You're not going to go this time na?" I asked moving towards him. 

"I told you I'm always here only. Whenever you need me I'll always be by your side. Just sing your songs and you'll find me standing beside you. Always."

I started wiping my tears "but......" I was just about to say something but he was gone. He wasn't there. "Rahul...Rahul....!!" I searched for him running around the house but he was nowhere to be found. And I was brought back to reality. I was just again imagining him. I just felt his presence around me. I stopped running. I sat on the floor. But strangely I was no more crying. Instead, I found myself smiling stupidly.

This was the power of his love.

Rahul (3 years back):

"Rahul. Please open the door. Please. I love you. You were waiting for this day right? I've become who you wanted me to be. Please just open the door" I woke up instantly, sweat all over my forehead. "Aarohi!" I finally remembered her. I removed the blanket from over me and ran towards the front door.  I finally remembered everything. I kept running but  couldn't continue properly. I fell multiple times. My feet didn't support me as much as my heart did. I fell and got up  over and over again. I kept trying and  bumped into the doctor. He stopped me and asked why was I running.
"Why are you running like this? You should be resting not running and sweating like this!" he said concerned.

"D.....doct..or" I was breathing heavily due to running. "I...i  know everything. I recalled my lost memories" I gasped.

He lookee at me with an amused gazed.

"Ok ok but let's go to the house first. I can't let you go like this. You've not recovered yet. Come on let's go" he suggested me.

"But please doctor. I..i've to meet her. I want to hug her. I want to apologise. I'm already very late. I cant delay anymore. Please let me go" I begged him.

"You can go but first you've to tell me everything. As a doctor I can't let you leave like this. My principles won't allow me to do so. Look at you. You can't even stand properly. He gestured towards my legs as I was tripping not able to stand properly. And he was continuously holding me.

We went back to his home and I told him everything about me. Including why I ended up unconscious in the sea.

"Oh right! I did hear some news about a suicide a few months ago. But I didn't pay much attention to it.  So it was you!"
He exclaimed with a long sigh.

"Yes." I replied with tears in my eyes.

"You know what you did was wrong right? "

I was speechless. I couldn't reply him. I knew he was right so I couldn't argue. I couldn't explain to him what I was going through at that time and why I made that stupid decision of ending my life, to leave my Aarohi alone. I've been such a coward.  How did I think of suicide? Why on earth I didn't think twice before taking such a huge step? I left everything behind like a  chicken. I left my friends and family crying in my absence. I shouldn't have done this.

"Doctor" I finally spoke , "please let me go..I've to return to Mumbai as soon as possible.

"I'm not doing this for my benefit Rahul. Its for your own good only. You're not alright yet. You're yet to recover. You can't even walk properly. What will happen if you fall sick on your way there or what if you faint? Look I've taken a responsibility and I've to fulfill it." He replied with concern in his eyes.

"I understand..but i'm feeling really guilty..i don't know what to do!" I said with a broken voice.

"Do you remember any phone number? I can call there and ask them to come take you" he asked.

I pressured on my brain but didn't come to remember any phone number. He was right. I hadn't recovered yet. I just sat there holding my head as I tried every best possibility to recall any number. But I constantly failed.

"Its ok Rahul. Its alright. Don't be hard on yourself. You'll remember something in some time. Also, both as a doctor and a guardian I suggest you to  try not to think any negative thoughts. You may have taken a wrong step at that time but that was only due to a certain condition. You did what you thought was best to do. Though suicide is never tge best option. Still, the past is past. It can't be recovered. There is nothing you can now do to bring back that time. But look, the universe has given you the second chance to recover all that lost time. Life doesn't give second chances to everyone. Consider yourself lucky and just move forward. Think positively and you'll heal super soon. Recover fast and go back to your loved ones. They must be waiting for you. Go amd hug them. Tell them that you love them. Everything will be alright. I trust you."

I couldn't hold my tears anymore. The man sitting infront of me was no less than any angel. He looked after me when I was half-dead. He brought me back to life. He was almost like a father to me all these time. Being a stranger, he felt like a family member to me. The things he said to me just now gave me a strange strength. I trusted his words. I believed I will recover fully real quick and go back to Mumbai. I couldn't thank him enough for everything he had done for me. I owed him a lot. I really did.
