❤Tipsy Premika❤ [Vriti FF] [Completed]

Buying a week of life

The hospital lights looked dimmer that night, or maybe it was always so depressing in there. The building seemed to be clad in white, ones you automatically feel unsettled around.
The only thing attractive about the place currently was its shiny tiles or maybe the rumors about how Mr. Dev, one of the biggest business tycoons in India was abusive to his step daughter. And, the fact that while Mishka was fighting for her life, reporters were swarmed around the hospital, confirmed just how desperate people are around gossips surrounding high profiles.

In amidst of this all, sat Akash, along side vihaang and nupur, who were all equally terrified with the ways the event turned out.

If you knew mishka well, its almost impossible to think, she had in her, to think that she is better off dead.
But, if you knew mishka really well, you would just thank god that she is alive, for she was a broken soul trying to defend herself for so long, it was only a matter of time, before she resorted to something this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Akash's POV

Its feels like any moment now, my heart will burst, with anger and with resent.

Its been 2 hours, since mish has been in OR and no one has any answers to when will she be okay.
Nupur has been telling me stories of how things have been these past few years, and how she was forcefully cut off and I can't help bit hate myself more and more every passing minute. We left her when she needed us the most. I didnt even try hard enough.

She was vihaang's sister! How did I not see the patterns before.

"Akash, thank you for your help, I think its getting late for you now", Mrs. Devika gives me a faint smile.

"I am fine here", I reply
I cant leave her all alone, again.

"Don't worry, we are here to help her now", she insists.

"Like you were here, the past 3 years?"

"Akash! Please dont force me to be disrespectful to you!"

"I am sorry...but I will leave as soon as I see her open her eyes, and ensure she is fine..please"

"Devika, let him, there are too many reporters here anyways and as soon as they see him leave, they might try to bother him with questions", Mr. Dev responds.

"Leave as soon as you can", Mrs. Devika replies codly to me and leaves

I get a call from gauri, and at that moment I decide to cut her call. I can't take so many things at once.

But phone, starts beeping with messages, and ofcourse its them.

Gauri - akashh i am worried!
Gauri - babe! Mom wants to fix a date for our engagement!
Gauri - call me back!
Gauri - udita told you still are at vihaang's place?
Gauri - you alright?? Hello?

Udita - A, where are you?
Udita - call me when you see this!
Udita - gauri and I are stressing, everything okay?

Rohit - bro? All okay?
Rohit - driving to vihaang's place in 15 mins if you dont respond

I switch off my phone, in frustration. All these feeling that I had bottled up, trying to hate mishka and blame her for all our misery when in fact its her who suffered.

● 4 hours later ●

Udita's POV

As we enter vihaang's place, the house seems eerily quite. Its almost past midnight, and it seems like a really bad idea to wake everyone up because akash is unreachable.

Rohit and I decide to check with guards before that, but no one seems to know about akash. Which worries us so much! Where is he?

"Can we track his gps or something?", rohit asks

"I am not sure, lets try to figure it oit", I respond, dying with tiredness and fear
Where is this guy!

Just then, I get a message from akash-

Akash - This will sound weird and so unlike me but I cant disclose all the information. I just need a week. Need to sort somethings out. Head back home.
I will explain everything soon.

Akash, is anything but secretive, and this scares me so much more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Akash's POV

"You can see her now", Mr. Dev walks towards me

"But only 10 mins, and then you leave", Mr. Dev continues.

At that moment, even a minute with her felt too good to be true. I lost her not once but almost twice, this time forever. As I walk towards the room, my heart seems to beat faster, there is sweat all over my forhead and my pace is getting uneven.
I slowly open the door, as I see her lookong towards me. She does not smile, just looks at me blankly.

"Hi mish", I speak in a low pace.

"Hi", she replies, just as coldly as I remember.

"Don't push me again, I missed you mish"

"I am fine..."

"You fucking cut yourself mish...seriously?"

"Why do you care akash?!..go sleep with gauri, and whatever. You all were okay without me! Don't pretend that you weren't.."

"That's so wrong...I can't ---", I stutter to respond.

"Its fine, you can leave now. I dont need any explanations"

"Come to delhi with me"

"I am fine ---", mishka tries to respknd but I cut her off.

"Or lets goto pune, or mumbai or outside this country. I dont fucking care! But just come with me! Mishka, I know this is so fucked up, you are engaged and I am dating someone, but I...I love you okay?....I was so scared today. I thought I lost you!"

"Akash....you are dating gauri...2 yrs now..."

"Yes. I broke up with gauri 5 times these 2 years. But, she had a way of memding things back. Also, I wanted an escape. I was so lost and traumatised that you just disappeared", I try to stop those tears, but next thing I know is I am crying, literally sobbing next to  her.

"I can't come anywhere with you, I need to goto NYU day after tomorrow"

"Just one week mishka! One. And, after that of you want, I will never show my face again"

"But, my mother....."

"There is media and reporters here, we could take advantage of that. I dont care"

"Akash but...."

"Dude please."

"Fine...I guess I can buy a week of my life", mishka smiles.

I dont know what undertook me then, but mishka does things to me. I hold her hand, as slowly move closer, to her. Her eues are fluttering, and my heart is racing dangerously fast. I lean towards her, and this time she does not stop me, she slowly closes her eyes, her perfect nose, her lips is so close to mine, and the thing I know is my lips are intangled with hers. I kiss her.
