Ye Roohi Ki Kahani Hai 2 (Yrkkh2)

Hate somebody you love

Roohi opened the door of room she was told to sleep in .
It was the same room that Akshara and Arohi once shared ,from corner of heart Roohi knew that it must be Akshara's idea to make Roohi and Nyra sleep in that room.

She entered the room and saw Nyra already sleeping on the bed actually whole bed there was barely any space Roohi but Roohi adjusted there somehow feeling tired of her emotions.
But her thoughts and Nyra's continuous kicks had decided not to let her sleep .

Roohi sat on the edge of bed only to get kicked from there too and she fell on floor but Roohi didn't stood up but she stared at sleeping Nyra wondering how can a barely 4 feet human need a whole bed to sleep.

Roohi stood up and sat on seat beside bed before she saw a family photo kept on the table and a fresh wave of emotions tore her.

It was a picture from Abhira's marriage with Abhir where whole family both Birla's and Goenka's were standing happily as if nothing and no one was missing .

Neither Roohi they called their Jaan for six years nor Arohi .
How can she even tell her to see through Abhimanyu's perspective when he never bothered to .

Well this wasn't Roohi's concern atleast for now she was just looking at the Goenkas who never even bothered to shower even fake love for Arohi like Birlas.

The next minute Roohi didn't realise that she zoned out holding photo frame in her hand thinking what if she ever gets a chance to visit past what she would do and make her mother's life better than it was now .
Maybe she would never let Arohi think Abhimanyu as her compatible life partner.
maybe she won't even let Arohi fall for Neil knowing he have a short lifeline .
She would knitt a fresh fairytale for her away from this toxicity .

Roohi flinched at a loud sound of thunderstorm . She kept the photoframe on the table in hurry and picked up the alarm clock from there showing she was sitting there from more than a hour now .

Roohi panicked as her doctor had told her that this kind of imaginations are sign of her getting into depression again.

Roohi wasn't ready to fuck up her fucked up mental health. Stress build in her throat as if she would die if won't get water and she ran downstairs and not having enough time she drank water straight from the RO while her eyes shedding water from corner .

As Roohi wiped her mouth with back of her wrist she spotted some instant noodles packet lying on the counter top.

Ignoring the fact that she just overate at the dining table she tore the packet and began making it .

The noodles weren't looking enough spicy so Roohi opened the drawer to add some chilli powder in her noodles .

Some, some more and some more ,,

Feeling lazy to transfer the noodles in a bowl Roohi took the whole pan and taking a bottle of water from fridge she looked around to find a place to eat them,

And she found it under the dinning table .

Roohi sat on floor and pulled the only chair to herself that could make her visible from outside.

Table on top of Roohi and the chairs surrounding her made the darkness of night more dark and Roohi sat there in silence eating the red noodles she just cooked and giving credit of her tears to them .

In the morning there was all hustle and bustle around the house as Roohi was missing while some assumed that Anvay kidnapped her and some thought she willingly ran away .

Well, only Akshara assumed this because others believed that she won't run away without her bag .

Going for their first assumption Kairav and Abhimanyu were about to leave mansion to find Roohi but they stopped as they heard a sound from Dining table as if someone's head bonked on some wooden surface .

Muskan removed some of the chairs from there and realised Roohi was there ,She shouted and called Kairav .

Abhimanyu ran and removed a chair from other side and bend on his knees to spot Roohi.
As he bent Roohi fell in his lap being unconscious .

Abhir and Kairav lifted the whole table and kept it a bit away .

Abhimanyu patted Roohi's cheeks calling her name panicking they sprayed some drops of water on her face until she got her consciousness back.

Roohi was lying on bed of a room surrounded by all family members while a thermometer stuffed in her mouth.

"Roohi, drink this you'll feel better" Muskan said as she forwarded a glass of orange juice to Roohi .

Roohi sat and took it from Muskan and at the same time Abhimanyu asked Roohi to give him the thermometer so he can check she Roohi opened her mouth to take it off and forwarded it to Abhimanyu.

Before Abhimanyu could take it from Roohi Kairav from backside tapped on his shoulder to ask what had happened to Roohi that she fell unconscious.

Everyone's attention shifted to Abhimanyu who told them not to worry as Roohi just fell unconscious after hitting table as she was already weak or didn't sleep or had fever.
With that he turned again to take thermometer from Roohi.

In the mean time when Abhimanyu was telling them Roohi peaked in her thermometer and saw it showing that she had 104° fever.
Roohi knew if they got to know about her fever they won't let her go so she dipped her thermometer in the cold orange juice which Muskan just gave her.

Roohi stroked the thermometer remembering the time once she dipped her thermometer in hot milk to prevent herself to be sent school and now she was faking her fever to prevent herself from staying in the house.

She smiled faintly and gave the thermometer to Abhimanyu.

"Although you don't have fever , still you can't go today" Manish spoke once everyone got relieved thinking Roohi didn't had fever.

"No ,Bnanu please I have to go I have my exams going on and i just came here for your birthday"

"But Roohi..."

"It's Ok Rooh , Roohi you don't need to stay here,
After all studies first ,
But make sure you come early next time"

Roohi felt a flip in her stomach as she heard Abhimanyu saying these lines with a faint smile which couldn't hide sadness in his voice.

For Once Roohi just wanted to stay there just for him , but the previous night flashed infront of her eyes making her shiver and she just nodded in response.

"Ever hated someone you love ,"
Roohi asked Anvay letting her tears flow as she continued

"Bnanu , Bnani, maasi , maama , maami , I can forget everyone i don't even know if these relations mean anything in shade of my hatred for them .
But him the person i consider my father for years , waited for years .

You know a part of me hates him to the core without any if's and but's and other hates him for the fact that he left me .

But still there is a part of me that still believes he didn't had a choice ,
Maybe if he chose me that day I would be living with one more guilt that he sacrificed his happiness for me

Sometimes I just think that what he should have done so i won't hate him nor for things he did in the past or with me "
