Something in You Calls Me (Complete)

Chap_8. Reception Party

Arnav's P.O.V.

Even if Esha saw Khushi near her school, there was no way she would have been here till now. Nor I could decide where to search her.

After roaming about around that area for few hours, I again reached there. Arriving at the place of Esha's school, I parked the car and got down from it.

Seeing the roadside bench, I sat on it with a thud. Why was all this happening to me?

Did I do that wrong to people to live a life like this!

I wondered.

I knew at my place everyone was in pain seeing me like this but what could I do!

Was there any way to forget the time with Khushi and move on and then live a happy life!

Was it even possible for me!

The answer was a big NO.

Khushi couldn't see me in pain. A single cut on my hand or a little fever was enough for her to break down in tears.

She loved to jump in the rain like a kid but when I did that for once with her and got sick, she got panicked. Though it was just a little fever, she kept apologizing to me being all teary until I got pissed off and yelled at her.

After that forget letting me do that with her, she herself never got into the rain.

Once I got a small cut on my hand while making something for her in the kitchen and after that entering into the kitchen was prohibited for me.

She cared for me with every little thing to the point that I felt blessed to have her in my life.

Our family was happy like never before until that accident happened. I thought I would plan a surprise for her on our marriage anniversary and took her with me out of the town.

Little did I know that would be our first and last marriage anniversary together.

While our way back home, the fuel of my car got finished. I stopped the car by a small filing station and at some point got out of the car.

I should have stayed there or asked her to accompany me for getting to the bank which was just opposite the road side to withdraw money as the boy of the filling station couldn't accept a card.

I got out of the car. Though she tried to get out while saying she would come with me but I asked her to stay there for which I cursed myself till now.

Withdrawing money when I stood at that side waiting to cross the road only to see a car crashing into my car in the worst way possible getting flames of fire coming out from both of the cars.

I ran towards my car while screaming my lungs out, "Khushi?" but couldn't get to reach there rather found myself getting hit by some other car on the road and thrown somewhere far on the road.

Before losing my sense, I looked up only to see some flames of fire from there. Tears rolled down from my eyes. I tried to reach my hand towards that direction while uttering, "Khushi?" which turned into a mere whisper and then darkness surrounded me...

~~

Remembering the accident, a tear rolled down my cheek like all this again got flashing in front of my eyes.

I didn't know how long I kept sitting there like this until my phone rang off. I didn't bother to take out my phone as I knew it was api for sure.

But when it kept ringing for the third time, I answered the call. Before I could say anything, Api got uttering, "Come home."
