You could have saved him!

Chapter 22

They all were waiting for Ruhani to tell them what she meant by what she said but before she could continue the doctor came in to check on Sambhavita. He also informed the psychiatrist was ready for her. After the psych evaluation if everything seems normal then she can go home. After he left,

"I don't think this is the right place to talk about this. Ruhani is very emotional right now. Let's go home. And we will discuss in right mind and controlled environment." Sambhavita said.

"Right. You guys return home. Tomorrow morning at our place we will all meet and Ruhani will tell us what happened then." Mr. Thakur said.

"Mr. Thakur, I'll stay with you and Sambhavita. Kids can go home." Mr. Banarjee said.

"Sure sir." Sambhavita agreed.
  
       After she changed the three adults left them and they discussed how they will return. The drivers need rest so they all decide that they will start their journey in the afternoon and kill time until then seeing the places around the small hill station. They started looking through some travel books that were offered in the hospital room to choose the places they wanna go. Sanjeet was outside talking to his father who said they will stay here until evening too. He came in to see his friends busy talking about places to visit. Anaya was excitedly asking Nikhil if they could visit the lovers point. He smiled at them and looked at Pratichi, she was reading the book about an old printing press. He sat with her,

"That press was one of the earliest press that was set up by the freedom fighters before independence. They used to put secret messages in between news for the revolutionaries and other members of the movement." He said slowly to keep it between them and not disturb others'conversation. She looked at him with amazement. "Taran told me."

"It's very interesting. Looks like a piece of history." Pratichi smiled at him. They looked at each other for some time before Sanjeet cleared his throat,

"Um. We have time in our hand. You and I can go and check that out." He said in a suggestion voice.

"Oh... Well, Neerav and I are already going there. He went out to call for a taxi." Pratichi said.

      Sanjeet's face darken a bit. But he smiled and nodded. But not everyone were that gracious. Kavya shook her head in frustration. While Nikhil seemed down right Angry. But Pratichi didn't saw their expression before going out. Kavya came out after her and stopped her by standing infront of her.

"Isiliye tu itna Ladi thi mujhse when, I started liking him? Taki ye kar sake tu uske sath." Kavya said.

"Kya.. kya kia maine? Kya bol Rahi hai?" Pratichi said confused.

"Aur tu... Ye chaiye tha tujhe tere 'damn good friend' ke liye?" Kavya said to Anaya who just came out with Nikhil. "Isse to hajar Guna achha treat kar leti main usko. At least ese humiliate to nai karti."

       She gave both the girls a disappointing look before going inside. Nikhil looked at his Girlfriend in a look that screamed "was she right?" The second hand embracement Anaya felt was shown on her face. She couldn't say anything to Kavya in her defence. Not she could deny the accusatory eyes of her boyfriend. She looked at her friend who was the cause of all this but before she could say anything Nikhil spoke up.

"Mujhe lagta tha you three are different than usual girls. You are above this juvenile mind games. But nai, tum to badi Khiladi nikli Miss. Vedi. The perfect goody two shoes actually knows how to string a guy along. But Sanjeet ke sath ye karogi ye nai socha tha. Agar tumhare life main koi aur hi tha to itne din se why were you leading him on?" Nikhil threw these words at her face before storming out. But he gave his own girlfriend and ultimatum too. "I will wait for exactly one minute Nayu! Then I'm leaving."
