Bruised hearts

Chapter 26

Continue :

Karan entered inside the ICU ward.. his heart clenched painfully seeing his love of life in so much pain.. her face was pale.. multiple wires attached to her body..

A tear escaped from his eye.. he sat beside her on the stool.. holding her hands between his palms carefully , he placed a soft kiss inside her hand..

Karan : gussa ho mujhse ? Baat bhi nhii kar rhi ho.. dekh bhi nhii rhi ho.. itna.. itna bura hu kya m ?

He whispered.. Few tears fell from his eyes as he looked at her , while resting his face on their intertwined hands.. caressing her knuckles gently.. he sniffed..

Karan : i..i missed our first karva chauth.. you know maine bhi tumhare liye fast rakha tha.. but i broke my promise.. m jaldi nhii aa sakaa.. i m sorry.. i m sorry babydoll..

He couldn't control anymore.. his tears falling continuously as he cried silently..

Karan : preeta... please wake up na babydoll.. don't do this to you.. tum jaanti ho meri jaan ho tum.. meri duniya.. mera rabb.. mera sab kuch.. i need you with me in my arms.. please..

It hurts.. it hurts so much to see her in this condition.. so vulnerable..

Nurse : excuse me sir , i have to give her injection so can you please go now..

He wiped his tears and nodded his head.. standing up, he leaned towards her and softly kissed her forehead..

Karan : m yahi hu preeta.. tumhare paas.. ab Karan apni preeta se dur kahi nhii jayega.. jaldi se uth ho jao hm? i love you..

He caressed her cheeks with the back of his fingers then stepped aside as the nurse started filling the syringe..

Karan : sister.. please do it gently.. it must be hurting her..

He said with a concerned face as he remembered how she told him that she was scared of injections but now her soft hands were lightly swollen because of them..

He would make sure they were properly taken care of after she woke up..

Nurse smiled and nodded her head in yes.. Karan walked out of the ward but not before looking at her again and again..

Whole day passed but still preeta didn't open her eyes.. karan kept praying for her sitting in the waiting room as they didn't allow anyone in the ICU section.. he didn't eat or drink anything..

Preeta's parents tried to at least make him drink water but he didn't and somehow sent them home.. rishab gave him the ring and all his things which he found in the thief's pocket.. he told him that the thief's body handed to his family and everything was clear now.. he stole the ring which karan buy for preeta as her karva chauth gift..

Now, it was night time.. Karan twice visited the doctor to confirm if she was fine or not and why she was not waking up.. doctor told him that it was normal and because of sedatives but she could wake up at any time..

Karan : nurse is everything okay ?!

He asked her worriedly as she was running inside the ward.. nurse didn't answer him and ran inside.. he immediately ran behind her but the bodyguards stopped him..

Person : sir you can't go inside.. try to understand.. it's not allowed..

Karan : I don't care! I want to see my wife!!

He shouted at him angrily.. pushing him away he ran towards her room.. he quickly opened the door but was shocked to find preeta shouting and crying.. nurses trying to calm her down but she pushed them away and was about to ripped the drip from her hand but-
