Ruhanika had been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to introduce her twin sister, Ruhi, to Rohit. It was a sunny day at school, and the atmosphere was lively with students chatting and enjoying their breaks. Ruhanika and Rohit had struck up a conversation about their favorite books, a topic they were both passionate about. Ruhanika animatedly described a recent novel she had read, her enthusiasm palpable.
Ruhi, curious to join in on the conversation, approached with a bright smile. She was excited to meet Rohit and share her own thoughts on the books they were discussing. The three of them soon fell into an easy rhythm, laughing and exchanging stories. Ruhi and Rohit discovered they had much in common, and the conversation flowed effortlessly. The trio was engrossed in their discussion, unaware of the minor incidents unfolding around them.
As they continued chatting, Rohit, caught up in the excitement of the conversation, gestured broadly. In the midst of his animated storytelling, he accidentally bumped into a girl carrying her lunch. The lunchbox wobbled and fell, its contents spilling onto the ground. The girl looked stunned and distressed, her eyes welling up with tears. Her friend, seeing the situation, quickly intervened with a calming tone, “It’s okay, it was just a mistake.”
However, Rohit’s reaction was anything but calm. The mention of the word “mistake” seemed to trigger an intense reaction in him. His face turned ashen, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His breathing became rapid and shallow, and he glanced around frantically, as if trying to escape from an invisible trap. Ruhi and Ruhanika immediately noticed his distress and exchanged concerned glances.
Ruhanika, ever the peacemaker, tried to reassure him. She gently approached Rohit, saying, “It’s just a mistake. Don’t worry about it.” Her intention was to diffuse the tension, but instead, Rohit’s agitation seemed to escalate. He looked even more panicked, his hands trembling as he struggled to regain control.
In a sudden and unexpected outburst, Rohit shoved Ruhanika away from him. The force of the push caused Ruhanika to lose her balance. She stumbled backward, her arms flailing as she tried to steady herself. Her foot caught on the edge of a stairway, and she fell, her head striking the hard surface with a sickening thud. The impact was sharp and brutal, and a trickle of blood began to flow from the wound on her head.
Ruhi’s heart pounded in her chest as she watched the horrifying scene unfold. Her mind went into overdrive as she realized the severity of the situation. Without a moment’s hesitation, she sprinted towards the nearest teacher, who was patrolling the area. Grabbing the teacher’s arm with a sense of urgency, Ruhi said, “Please, my sister’s hurt badly! We need help right now!” Her voice was frantic, her eyes wide with fear.
The teacher’s face turned pale as she assessed the situation. Seeing Ruhanika lying on the ground, she immediately took charge, directing Ruhi to help her administer first aid. The teacher carefully applied pressure to the wound to control the bleeding and tried to keep Ruhanika calm. Despite her swift actions, the severity of Ruhanika’s injury meant that more advanced medical care was needed. The teacher contacted an ambulance while also calling Neil and Aarohi to inform them of the emergency.
When Neil and Aarohi arrived at the school, their faces were etched with a mixture of fear and worry. Neil’s eyes were filled with concern as he rushed to Ruhanika’s side, his hands trembling slightly as he helped her into the car. Aarohi’s face was pale, her eyes brimming with tears. She stayed close to Ruhanika, trying to offer her words of reassurance and comfort. The drive to the hospital was fraught with tension, the air thick with unspoken fears. Neil focused intently on the road, his mind racing with thoughts about Ruhanika’s condition. Aarohi, seated beside Ruhi in the back, did her best to comfort her daughter while grappling with her own overwhelming worry
The drive home was filled with tension. Ruhi sat in the back seat, her mind a whirlwind of anger and anxiety. She couldn’t believe Rohit had reacted so violently. Her anger was focused solely on him, not because of the commotion, but because he had hurt her sister. Every time she thought about the incident, her fists clenched, and she struggled to control her frustration. “How could he do this?” she thought bitterly. “How could he hurt Ruhanika like that?”
At home, the family’s concern shifted entirely to Ruhanika’s well-being. Neil and Aarohi worked together to ensure Ruhanika received proper medical care. Ruhanika, despite her physical pain, couldn’t stop thinking about Rohit’s reaction. She replayed the moment in her mind, trying to piece together why his panic had escalated into such a violent outburst. The confusion and hurt left her feeling isolated and disoriented.
Ruhi’s anger remained intense. She had tried to reach out and be friendly, only to have that kindness met with aggression that had caused her sister serious harm. Her frustration with Rohit was palpable, and she found it hard to understand how someone could respond so cruelly to a simple mistake.
As the night fell, the atmosphere at home was charged with a mixture of concern for Ruhanika’s health and frustration over the unjust incident. Ruhi’s anger towards Rohit simmered beneath the surface, while Ruhanika grappled with the painful reality of why Rohit had reacted so violently. Each family member dealt with their emotions in their own way, unsure of what the future held but united in their care and concern for Ruhanika.
