10. “Dear Heart, Why Him?”

The cooing of pigeons & the blow of wind made Mehula conscious, as she slowly tried to open her eyes but everything was blurry infront of her sight. She blinked for several times to clear her vision. Her body was aching & her head was spinning like she has no energy left to sense or understand anything.

She ran her gaze around only to ended up finding herself in hospital bed, she hates its smell, it makes her sick everytime. Suddenly some vague scenes started hitting her mind, raising the urge to puke right now.

Dark room, sunrays blocked with heavy curtains, the room was filled with weird, Iodoforms smell. A woman lying on bed lifelessly- blood stains- man standing with a creepy smile- suddenly a loud scream.

Mehula closed her eyes tightly & pulled out the drip, trying to make herself stand. As she stood still & tried to walk further to reach the door, but suddenly she heard the creaking sound as the door opened slightly.

She blinked again to clear the blurriness & the dizziness she was feeling- a man's silhouette was standing infront of her. She gulped in fear & the sweat started making her hands wet. Her eyes were filled with the colourless blood. Soon she heard a familiar voice which putted her heart at ease.

“What's wrong with you, Mehu?”, he asked her while coming near which made her flinch a little, seeing her flinching he stood a little far from her.

“Mehu, Its me!”, he again said in calm tone & Mehula looked at him carefully, examining him from head to toe. Then she inhaled a deep breathe before taking few steps closer to him.

He held her hand carefully & asked her what happened in soft tone. Mehula persuaded her lips to speak but didn't. He closed his eyes in frustration before making her sit on the bed.

As she sat without saying anything, he kneeled down & asked her again, “Tell me, did you saw those images again?”.

She nodded slowly.

“Don't worry, everything is going to be alright & don't pressurise your mind to remember those incidents, okay?”, he said while looking at her teary eyes.

She didn't said anything again. He took a deep breath before dialing someones number.

“Come to the hospital.”, with only this he disconnected the call & was still engaged with his phone when Mehula's voice grabbed his attention.

“How I ended up here?”, she asked while fighting with her fingers like she is afraid to know the answer or she is afraid of not knowing the answer. Right now, her mind is screwed up. She doesn't remember what happened before losing conscious. She don't remember anything & this is frightening her.

“You really don't remember anything?”, he asked in confused tone. “Why you think I'm playing dumb? Do you really think I have reason to prove myself mental?”, she asked in frustration, almost yelled at him.

“It is not what I am thinking & you know this too. I trust you, Mehu!”, he said in concern while coming near her.

“Bhai, I don't know whats going on? Everything is not making sense. I'm really screwed up, right now.”, she said while busting into tears.

Ayushman pulled her closer to him as he tried to console her but he was also screwed up. Everything wasn't even making any sense to him. She was okay before now all of sudden why everything is repeating.

“Did you saw anything related to that day?”, he asked her while caressing her head & she nodded negatively after breaking the hug.

“I don't know or maybe yes. I don't want to stay here. This smell is making me sick. Its ruining me, Bhai.”, she said while letting go another sob.
