Tere Liye .....

chapter 19

Pankhuri pov .....

I woke up the next morning and opened my eyes groggily.

Ma'am aapse milne aaya the koi Sir kal raat ko ....he is in the next room ....The nurse informed me .

It must be Vidyut only .....I hurriedly got up and ran to the adjacent room .
He was sleeping peacefully.

What about Sanjana....is she okay ...she must be that's why he came to check on me .....
I thanked God and walked near him .

Vidyut....I shook him a bit ....he opened his eyes and sat up instantly...

Pankhuri.....how are you ....I came to meet you only...he said .
Mei thik hu .... Sanjana ka kuch pata chala....she is fine right....I asked him .

Yeahhhh ....mei ussi ke liye toh aaya tha ...we have to plan a surprise for her ..... Everyone has gone mad in the family....they think that she is no more .....He said and I gasped.

But she is fine...I know....she is doing this to prank me .....I had an argument with her a day before.....that's why she is doing it ....He said and my heart thudded loudly as I looked at him .

I couldn't understand what was happening around.....but he is not okay and so am I .......

I held his hand and he looked at me .
Chaliye Ghar chalte hai .....I said slowly dreading the reality.

I hope whatever he is saying is the truth.....
He nodded and stood up .
The whole way he was talking about the surprise and I was chanting God's name .

We reached the mansion and there was absolute silence.....
We entered the hall to find A couple of uncles and Aunty's age , Dr. Smitha and her Husband......and a few other people whom I don't know.

Now I can feel that nothing is right....my throat dried up and I gulped looking at Vidyut.

The elderly woman was crying and her husband was consoling her .
Sanjana's parents .....are they mad too ....why are they crying....He said .

As We stepped in everyone noticed us .
Sanjana's mother cried loudly seeing him and he went to her .

Mumma ...kuch nahi hua hai usse why is nobody believing me ....
Please stop crying everyone....I am fed up of explaining the same thing again and again ....he shouted and Daksh , Dr. Smitha's husband held him by his shoulder.

Vidyut..... accept that she is no more ...... Sanjana has left us ...He said ,and I stumbled a bit but then held the table.

The reality sinked in and my eyes teared up .
I cried seeing him who was arguing with everyone.

My heart ached for him ......he didn't deserve this ....my little human didn't this as well ..

I sat on the floor and cried for both of them . I can feel the pain of loosing a loved one .....and that made me feel his pain too and I cried hard.

Ranii came to abd tried to help me up but it felt like my knees has given up.
I didn't feel the strength in me to get up .

The day I lost my mother flashed in front of me evoking a pain in my chest .
Why it happened to him ......to the baby ...to Sanjana.......

They were a happy family.....why you have to do this to them . My little baby has become motherless even before coming into the world and the mere thought made the pain unbearable.

Pankhuri.......you are crying too .....he said and everyone turned to me .
What have I asked you .......but you too are behaving the same.....don't trust them ......He said sitting before me .

I sobbed harder seeing his face. It felt like my heart will burst out any second......
Vidyuttt........I cried and shook his head wiping my tears.

You are my friend... You have to be on my side .....he said holding my hand and my cries intensified listening to him ..

I wish this all was not true....
Daksh and Dr. Smitha came to us .. they were crying too .

Daksh made him stand up and took him away while Dr .Smitha and Rani helped me to my room .

I puked my guts out and told Dr. Smitha that I was not feeling well ....
She gave me medicine and asked me to have something but at this moment nothing will go down my throat.

I took the medicine and layed on the bed.
The tears were non stop.
I felt asleep again .

Vidyut pov.......

It was evening.....I have locked my self in my room .
I don't want to talk to anyone at this moment.

I am trying Sanjana's phone but it's switched off .
I tried calling that bastard Vicky but he is not answering his call too.

I need to hear Sanjana's voice once or I will go mad.

I Heard ambulance voice and came out in the balcony.
There were lot of people gathered in our lawn area .

I heard someone knock on my door and hurriedly unlocked it .
What's going on downstairs....I asked Daksh and he was crying.

He cried hard hugging me and I tried to push him away .
Vidyut.... Sanjana aa gai hai ....he said but I didn't feel good about it .

He broke the hug and took me downstairs.
The moment my eyes fell on the body lying in the middle of hall on a big Ice block ....my heart stopped beating.

Everything around me disappeared and I felt numb.
My feet too me near her ....my eyes never leaving her calm face .

I thumped beside her and just kept on staring at her face .
I felt nothing........I touched her face and her body was frozen.

Sanjana.....I called her but she didn't responded.
I took her hand in mine and kissed her palm softly.

Everyone was crying in the background but I Just focused on her .
The cries died down as the night grew darker but I didn't leave her side for a minute.

I was thinking about the time I first saw her ..... how she proposed to me......our marriage...our date nights...... everything......

As the sun rose again ..... people started shuffling here and there .
Vidyut ......Daksh shook me and I looked at him for a brief moment.

It's time for the last rituals he said to me but I didn't say anything.
He made me stand up and mom covered her with a red saree and filled her hair line while crying profusely.

We reached the cremation ground shortly and it was finally the time to bid her bye....

When the priest handed over the burning stick to me ....I looked at my wife lying on the pyre and my hands shook .

My Dad came to me and I looked at him gulping and shook my head in No.
He cried but took me near her and I lit the pyre ......and watched my world burn in front of my eyes.

I felt lifeless....I didn't cried because tears failed to come out of my eyes.
As the flames engulfed her ...... everything around me darkened and my body hit the ground......

Sanjanaaa.......A small whimper left my mouth before I gave up .
