I HATE YOU BUT...🩺

13

Dr. Rudra called Arjun,

"Arjun" when RP called Arjun turned to look at him.

He was in the hope that his dad might have some news about Arohi's well-being that she is fully well and ready to work.

How he hoped that his false hope come true while turning to his dad but all his hope shattered looking at Rudra and the despair in his eyes.

"Is she alright? Am I getting her back anytime soon or have I ......." Arjun's thoughts were racing in negative direction.

Those thoughts never took the form of words and came out of his mouth so that Dr. Rudra can hear them. Those thoughts showed true concern of Arjun about his newly wedded bride.

Instead he quickly composed himself and asked Dr. Rudra

"What is it Dad?"

"I have no answer to this my son." Dr. Rudra answered as if almost about to crash. Those words were too thick to come out.

He truly had no idea why Arohi's body behaved like this. Her mind was firm that could be sensed by her normal heart beats yet her body was giving jerk of rejection.

That reluctant move of her body was too complicated for even the best Dr. present to identify what has happened to his own daughter in law.

The daughter in law who is his first daughter, when Arohi was unconscious he refused to take Arjun inside while checking her but he guess he too was also too weak to handle the lifeless body of his daughter. He certainly has no answers to the questions that he could see in his son's eyes hoping that the Dr. inside his dad will answer him.

"Do I put in myself into the case Dad?" Arjun tried to be as calm as possible while asking his dad's permission.

Rudra was confused he was not sure if Arjun can handle this. He never has handled it well... he never has...

Arjun was in the same thoughts as his dad he too knew that Arohi's ill health is not at all acceptable by his mind and to add to the misery even not by his heart.

I hated her but when I saw her lifeless that day.........

*Arjun's Point of View (at age 14)*

The moment I shouted looking at her lifeless body for help my entire family gathered in her room minus PA who was in the hospital. Mom was shaken looking at her pale body.bDad quickly checked her pulses and Rashi brought drinking water.

"Her pulse is o.k. I cannot get what is with her body that is immovable. We need to move her to the hospital quick" I heard dad say.

The pulse is o.k. that was a push for my mom to react till then she was a statue just like Arohi.

"Yes Rudra quick I'll inform Ashu." And mom picked her cell phone.

"Try to be normal Kumud please." I could see plead in dad's eyes and mom exactly understood what he meant.

We all rushed to the hospital.

All...

After the primary treatment dad came and said she is normal, completely normal yet unconscious. We will wait for her to get up.

And I was waiting impatiently. Now I didn't even remember why I was angry with her. What I saw was unexpected.

I could do anything to bring my Rohi back.

And with no one's notice I entered the special room she was in. I sat there devastated trying to put together the pieces of my heart. My heart was beating faster than ever I know, since when I never gave a thought until I heard my each and every heartbeat that was echoing in my ears in that silent room. Silent as graveyard, I have seen how a graveyard is I could tell believe me.
