Destined To Be

Chapter-22"It Is All My Fault!"

After hearing Neil's concerned voice she couldn't control her tears, which she was controlling from long time and started crying in his arms near his chest. Neil was taken back by her sudden actions, but when he heard her sobbing, he got tensed.

"Hina died because of me! Please ask her to come back to me"

What he heard was shocking to core seeing Aarohi yearning for someone was actually shocking and that to saying it aloud and this emotional, but he was confused who was Hina? He thought that she must be her patient and she died due to some medical complications and now Aarohi is blaming herself for her death. Maybe? It didn't look it, it looks very serious!

He made walk her to the bed and made her sit and was about to go to get water, when he felt a tug on his hand, he looked down at his hand and saw Aarohi's shivering hand holding his wrist.

"Hina was my best friend." she said locking her eyes with his, her eyes were full red due to crying and with tears which were continuously running down her cheeks, his eyes were confused by 'was' but decided to ignore it as it might be a mistake of Aarohi as she was not in state of understanding what she has said. Hina had definitely left the world but she was, is and will be her friend. Isn't it?

A teenager Aarohi was really excited as it was her best friend, soul sister, guide and what not, Hina was Aarohi's everything in this big city for her to call her own and her 18th  birthday, 18th birthday is really very special for everyone in this world, isn't it?

But for this girl Hina, she is more excited to give test of mathematics which was day after tomorrow, that's why she is practicing mathematics sums and that's why she has not came out of her room since morning, and it was irritating Aarohi a lot, she had planned Hina's surprise birthday party with Hina's boyfriend Rudra last night only to spend some time with Hina at morning to which he did fight with her to let the couple spend time with each other but at last he lost.

Despite practicing different regions he never hesitated to show his love for Hina, at first Aarohi was not at all liking the closeness which Rudra was showing towards Hina, but after sometime she realised that he was serious about her so she accepted the relationship, and Hina was the most happiest person in the world, as Aarohi was only important person after her foster mother she had in this world her parents had left the moment she was born as a girl child she even doesn't know if she was Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian by biological parents but she practiced Muslim as her foster mother was a Muslim, she was brought up by the warden of the hostel, Zoya and she stayed with her at the hostel in one room which was given to them. Then a girl came to her school, who loved to be alone, this attracted Hina more and she tried to make Aarohi her friend but Aarohi was adamant to do that, but after a month or so Hina was successful in her tries. They both didn't realise when they both started to share their feelings with each other.

Hina aspire to be a commando, and wanted to serve her motherland. She loved solving mathematical sums, which was further turned to be both of them's favorite thing to do together, it wasn't one thing which they did together but most if times they were found solving sums and reading romantic novels at library, Aarohi wanted her own fairytale just like Hina had.

Destiny took a turn on her birthday, Aarohi found Hina unconscious on floor of her room, with few empty medicine bottles laying on besides her. Aarohi's teary eyes roamed around and found a note on the table, she took the note and kept the note in her pocket, teenage Aarohi was scared knowing what all these means

She tried to kill herself.

She called for Zoya, they took her to hospital, for Zoya and Aarohi it was very emotional moment, Zoya was not her biological mother but Hina was her life and only mere reason to live, for Aarohi she was and will be her everything. The doctors took her to OT, after two, three hours which felt like years to both of them, the door of OT opened and doctor came and said "Operation successful!" he said, he wanted to say more but stopped seeing their happiness, his assumption was right they didn't knew anything  about it sighing he left for his cabin. These words were enough to bring the souls of Aarohi and Zoya back to life.

After sometime Hina was shifted to under observation ward. After she was shifted, Aarohi wanted to read the note but decided to ask her only after she is alright. She regained conscious next day early morning, Zoya and Aarohi wanted to talk to her but doctor said he had to check her once.

The doctor came outside the ward and instructed both of them to be careful with her and not to ask her anything about the reason why she took such a drastic step as it could make her depressed, as right now she is very sensitive and try to make her happy. Both of them agreed unwilling to the doctor knowing he was right. Aarohi had noticed both the times he wanted to say something more to them about Hina but was hesitating.

Zoya got emotional seeing her daughter like this and had an emotional talk with her, which Aarohi couldn't hear as she was outside the ward standing near the door and trying to control her tears, she had shown practicality in the situation but it couldn't help to conceal how scared she was to loose her, she couldn't afford to loose her after her seeing her mother taking her last breath in front of her and her sister, then getting the news of her father's death on the same day due to plane crash, was devastating for her.

The door opened and Zoya aapi came outside, looking all happy and why not after all her daughter was all okay, sending Aarohi inside as Hina had called her, Zoya went to the medical store to buy the medicines which doctor had prescribed for Hina. Aarohi went inside and sat on the stool beside the hospital bed, tears flowing from both pair of eyes, Aarohi couldn't control and hugged her, which Hina reciprocated with same eagerness.

"Rudra?" Hina asked and Aarohi look down
