Chapter 12

Happy Reading!!!

"ACCORDING TO THE SCORCE, IT IS BELIEVED THAT TO SAVE HERSELF FROM THE MARITAL R@PE SHIVALIKA SHARAM JUMPED OFF THE TERRACE."

His eyes darted on the TV as the news reporter covered the news showing every angle of Shivalika's suicide mystery. 

The truth he wishes to erase from his exitance. 

Turning his eyes away from the TV, he scanned the room, realizing that he was in the hospital, after being shot by Atharva Kashyap. Or failing to save his girl from him. 

The incident played in front of him like a live incident, arousing the exact grief and agony he lived through day before only.

Shivalika pleading, terrified and tears-stricken face started breaking him over and over again as it flashed in front of his eyes, deepening his grief which was making it hard of him to cope up. 

His helplessness, failure in protecting his love, letting someone else touch his love in front of his own eye. 

Rakshit couldn't help but feel the lethal grief, which was consuming him slowly, drowning him in the deep pit of remorse of failing to save Shivalika who hoped that he will kill the whole world for them, for their unconditional love. 

But he failed.

"I..want..to..die..Shivu....SHIVUU.."  

His voice shattered with pain, as his hand gripped his chest to puff in some oxygen when he left it being sucked out from his lungs. Gripping the side table, he tried to control his emotions, which was the most difficult thing to do right at that moment. 

Getting up from his place he paced around the room, trying to find any solace which could calm his racing heartbeat. But in the depth of search he met with only darkness, despair of any hope of being found. 

Feeling black dots forming in front of his vision, he felt himself losing with each moment. His eyes dropping with drowsiness, heartbeat reducing to its end and he was about to fall over the ground when the light chime of earrings reached near his ears. 

The melodic quality pushed him out of the darkness, to see the light of despair again. 

"Rakshit." 

The soft calling of his name alarmed him to stay awake and not to catch even the slightest glimpse of gloominess. 

"Doctor, please come fast. His heartbeat is dropping." 

The same melodic voice laced with affection ranged around him, creating a sense of comforting peace, unknowingly. Feelings the stinging pain of being injected with something in his skin his eyes got closed under its influence, covering him with soothing care of the chime of Rooh's earrings. 

"Please, stay safe. For your family. We all need you with us Rakshit."

The pleading faded away but still he can feel the affection and worry for him behind those words spoken by someone who worshiped him in her prayers. Pushing away the trail of his light brown hair, touching his forehead lovingly, she feathered the skin with her fingers, capturing the moment in her forever memory. 

"Just let me die. You'll never understand the pain of losing the one you love." 

He breath heavily in his sleep not realizing the weight of his words for her. Maybe those he uttered where when he is asleep but their impact was great. Her expression shows the pain and fear she has been hiding for everyone. 

The fear of losing him forever. 

How much she wished to scream out her pain while hugging someone but it's impossible right now. Her crying over him would only raise questions against her love which is just one sided from her.
