(4 years back)
Ritisha, kept on ignoring Sitansh's phone calls after that rainy night she being lost had confessed her love and..then left him like that..unanswered....she felt her heart aching for hiding this from him..but she was bound to do so, despite her pleadings, why can't he understand, she... Can't tell him can't risk his life.....
Ritisha was sitting under the tree's shade, weeping. When suddenly a beautiful memory of them flashed across her mind.
Their first encounter
(When they were kids )
A wedding function was going on in Sitansh's house
(Note- both Ritisha's and Sitansh's fathers were also childhood bestfriends)
"Nhi uncle mai fool laungi" Came our little Ritisha's voice
"Theek hai gudiya tum hi le aao khush ab" Said Sitansh's father
Here our little Ritisha was running through the hallway;adorned in her beautiful tiny lehenga with small anklets creating jingling sound and our Ritisha was really looking like a princess, but she was unaware of a pair of eyes gazing her. She picked up that flower's basket and started hailing back
"Han maa aaya"came our little Sitansh's voice whose gaze was fixed on Ritisha but bewildered by his mother's call came in between her path and the whole basket of flowers fell from her hands.
" Hawww ye...ye apko dekh ke chalna chaiye na dekho Sare fool gir gye."said our little Ritisha making an angry but cute pout.
"Sorry wo maine dhyan nhi diya." He said holding his ears.
"Sirf sorry nhi chalegi apko meri help karni hogi fool uthane mein."
Sitansh helped her in keeping back the flowers inside the basket and then took a beautiful white tulip and extended it towards Ritisha saying,
"Ye meri galti sudharne ke liye."
"Accha chlo maine maf kiya." With this she took flower from his hand and ran away giggling meanwhile his face was covered with a wide smile
Flashback ends.
A message popped up on her phone,
"Well you did good by leaving him." She closed her eyes, tears streaming down and threw her phone away, her breathing shallow
Just then she observed a shadow covering her, and there stood Sitansh, she just jumped and hugged him tightly.
"Why can't you tell me, why you are making yourself suffer so much." He replied pulling apart from the hug and held her shoulders firmly, she again closed her eyes in guilt,
"I can't Sitansh I can't.."
"Why..we can solve it together Ritisha, just tell me I promise I will never let anything happen to you."
Her mind recalled the stalker's words,
'Do you want to risk his life?'
And her heart thumped in fear
"Just GO AWAY..please." She at first shouted and then broke down into tears, he was about to hold her but she just showed him her hand gesturing to step back,
"Ritisha 'I love you' please tell me,for us."
His words made her to snap her head in his direction, she will die without him, but controlled her emotions, and averted her gaze
"Please Sitansh..leave me alone." And he went, but he called Priyali to reach there as he can't take any risk
Priyali reached the park but it was too late as Ritisha had already left, she immediately called Sitansh, and they both went to find her.
Here Ritisha's mind was not working, her head was spinning, multiple thoughts were ringing in her mind, when she didn't notice a car approaching her, and...the car's driver immediately pulled the brakes, but it was too late—her head hit the car's front and she fell down being unconscious, another loud screech sound of car was heard,
"RITISHAAAA." came Sitansh's voice he and Priyali got down the car; running in her direction, his mind fearing the worst.
He immediately scooped her in his arms , blood was continuously oozing out from her head, and in no time he reached the hospital.
" Doctor...Mrihal uncle... Ritiii..."he rushed inside his cabin.
He was drinking water and the glass fell from his hands ;shattering into pieces just as his heart after seeing his daughter's condition.
".ye..ye.."he said in a broken voice.
" Uncle please it's urgent I will tell you everything later, he hid his emotions but his heart shattered into pieces by the fear of loosing her.
Her father immediately took her inside OT.. And soon
came out
"Unc..uncle Riti.."
"Beta she needs an urgent surgery"
"Uncle please do whatever is required but please make Riti open her eyes I..I can't see her in this state, I..I can't live without her.
Her father was all broken too as a father's love for his daughter is incomparable and he knew that in this whirlwind of emotions he can't perform surgery so decided to inform Sitansh's father who was a very renowned neurosurgeon.
(Surgery)
Sitansh's father was taking Ritisha for surgery but halted as he saw her father.
"Mrihal" He called.
"Mrihal I will make my gudiya's surgery successful par.."
"Par kya Sujit." He said in a broken tone.
"Mrihal I will put all my efforts in this surgery but...after this surgery there is the chance that she might lose her memory cause in cases like this there are higher chances of it ."
With this her father kissed her forehead and kept his hand over Sujit's shoulder saying,
"Meri bacchi ko bas thik kr do sujit.."
With his words Sujit started the surgery with all his life's experience but it is said that destiny always keeps some other fate entangled with us and what was feared had happened.
______________________________________
After 2 hours of surgery the OT's door opened ,there came Sujit lowering his mask.
Mrihal, Sitansh, Priyali, Ritesh and Vritika stood up with swollen and red eyes fear lingering their faces. Her mother was truly devastated by the incident when Mrihal informed her.
"Suj..Sujit." Mrihal
Sujit kept his hand on his shoulder and said, " She is out of danger now meri gudiya ab thik hai."
Sitansh lost his patience and went inside OT and saw Ritisha lying with bandages all over her head, but didn't gain consciousness yet.
He rushed towards her and sat beside her on his knees.
"Mera bachha." That moment tears betrayed him.
Soon Ritisha started gaining consciousness and tried opening her eyes. She tried to get up but felt a stinging pain in her head.
"Ritii..Aaram se."Sitansh made her lay again.
"Riti.. " Everyone else rushed to her,
Her mother cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead.
"Umm... Ap..ap kon..or mai.. Yahan."
