Fortuitously Yours (Previously known as Accidentally Yours)

6.b. The Unexpected Proposal (Part - 2)

The rest of the evening passed silently, as neither Rohit or Priya was interested in speaking much. After an hour of beach time, they bid adieu to each other and returned to their respective homes. 

When Rohit entered his home, he could see Mohit cooking inside the kitchen. Since he had returned, he did not get much gossip time with his brother. So, Rohit decided to help him out with the dinner preparations. 

"No need, you go take rest" 

Mohit told Rohit as soon as he saw him entering the kitchen. 

Rohit: Come on bhaiya I am not that tired. 

Mohit: That I can already sense… that you are not tired… 

Rohit: What do you mean? 

Mohit: Do you like her? 

Rohit: What!! Are you maa(Rohit stopped in the middle of his sentence, as an idea struck his mind like a firebolt) 

Mohit: What what? Say? 

Rohit: I like her

Mohit: Really?? 

Rohit: I told you I like her… but I like Ashmit too, and you like your best friend Gourav too..

 Mohit: Don't twist your answer. 

Rohit: I am not twisting my answer, you are twisting your thoughts. 

Mohit realized that this argument was not going anywhere, so he decided to change the angle. 

Mohit: So, are you ready to meet your wife tomorrow? 

Rohit: Haan? 

Mohit: You forgot? Tomorrow is Thursday, so you will have to tell papa whom you want to marry. 

Rohit: I don't wanna marry, and papa knows that. 

Mohit was going to say something, when his phone started ringing. 

He stared on his mobile screen, and saw Dr. Awasthi calling. 

Mohit: Hello.. Hi doctor.. Ohh… okay… right, we are coming… 

Rohit was patiently seeing his brother talking to the doctor, and he was observing how Mohit's expression was changing with every word spoken from the other side. His final expression told Rohit that something was terribly wrong. 

As soon as Mohit dropped the call, he dragged Rohit by arm and started running towards the door. 

Rohit: Bhaiya, what happened? 

Mohit: Papa started bleeding again! 

As soon as Rohit heard it, he stopped right there! As if his heart stopped beating… stopped pumping blood to his legs…and his legs stopped responding to his brain's commands. He knew what it meant. Dr. Awasthi had already told them the consequences of any further internal bleeding, but Rohit's heart just could not accept it! He had been away from his papa for two long years, and now, he wanted to live his life with his papa and bhaiya comfortably. 

He would just not accept any other consequence. He would make sure his father gets well… at any cost… 

Rohiiittt!! Roohiittt!! Are you listening? 

Rohit came out of his daze and saw Mohit screaming from inside his car. So, without wasting any time, he got into the passenger seat, as Mohit started accelerating the vehicle towards their destination, Kanishka International Medical Research Institute. 

When they finally reached in the reception area of the hospital, Dr. Awasthi's junior, Dr. Karan Joshi was waiting for them. As soon as he saw the two brothers, he came forward and said "Hey, Good Evening, I was waiting for you guys. Actually, Ma'am has instructed me to take you directly to the Operation Theater, as your father will be operated on within an hour. I want you to sign here in this form"
