Amore Mio:My Beloved

Chapter4: Blaming

“ Vikram.What are you watching at.carry her..”
exclaimed his mom with tear filled eyes.

Each steps Vikram took towards Vridhi’s motionless body induced the fear and guilt in him many folds.

He did sensed the helplessness in her eyes when he took predator steps towards her in the morning when he literally showed up his dominance over her;but now when he was reaching out to help her,her fragile form was lying there motionless..

Vikram knelt down beside her and touched her head in order to lift it.As soon as his hand came in contact with her bloodied nape he felt a shiver running through his spine,as the fresh streaming warm blood of her drenched his whole palm making his nerves shudder.

He took her fragile injured form in his arms and lifted her.

The hot red warm liquid cascaded down his neck and chest made him loose his breath as the guilt in him began to engulf his senses.

He gently placed her head in the crook of his neck and leaned his head over hers,
fearing her injured head will hang down due to imbalance.His breath going unsteady when he felt her breaths falling.

His crisp white shirt was fully drenched with her precious blood.As he placed her almost lifeless body in the stretcher.Getting inside along with his mother,he sat facing her.

Vikram felt his eyes brimming with unshed tears,which he quickly wiped away before his mom spots.

Soon the emergency team put an oxygen mask to Vridhi,while Vikram gently lifted Vridhi’s head to put the mask as gentle as possible.
He flinched inward when he watched the tiny shred pieces of glass being removed from her neck and head.His knuckles turned pale when he clenched his fists tightly enough to stop the circulation, witnessing her struggling to breath.

He buried his head in his palms in defeat not bothering about the blood stains in his hand.

What surprised him the most was his mother’s silence.He slowly lifted his gaze to meet his mom.She was only looking at Vridhi with a pale face,as if she didn’t wanted to meet his eyes.

“Mumma..,I didn’t do anything purposefully ma...”she showed her palm asking him to stop.Her other hand was busy caressing Vridhi’s hand.

*******

Vikram’s dad did all the necessary formalities to admit Vridhi in the highly reputed hospital,where Vikram’s elder sister Preethi works along with her husband.

Soon Vridhi was taken inside the emergency unit and the glass door closed and a red light turned on which was on top of the door.It induced the fear in Vikram.He silently prayed all the gods to heal her as soon as possible.

He looked back at his family helplessly,as if asking for a solace at least.Much to his dismay everyone of them even forgot the fact that he too exist near them.Seems like they took an oath to not spare him a glance.

He never felt this helpless in his life.An unknown innocent girl was fighting for her life all because of him and he has no idea how to deal with the upcoming consequences.

Soon a middle class couple rushed to the place and to his parents all the while crying.

Vikram recognized them to be Vridhi’s parents.He gulped hard in an attempt to bear all the emotional torture the parents along with his parents about to give him.

“Please don’t cry.Vridhi is like my own daughter.Nothing will happen to her.Be strong.” Said Haritha consoling the broken parents.

Haritha was hardly in her senses just like Vridhi’s mother.It took all her courage to speak up those few words to the couple before her.As she never met a pure yet innocent soul like Vridhi in her life.A naive girl who spread unconditional love to everyone without any expectations.
