TERI DEEWAANI

The Mysterious Evidence

The FlashBack Continues....

Prachi :

I followed Kushaal and came down to the hall as well, where Sharma family and Shergil family were sitting casually.

Kushaal, who was anxious and tensed went straight to Pranay uncle and made him stood up from the couch worriedly.

But why? What happened suddenly?

"Dad....we need to go...." Kushaal was freaked out till now.

"Go...? Where?" Pranay uncle was shocked just like all of us.

"Daddd.....Vikram Uncle...!!!" Kushaal said and Pranay uncle stiffened.

"What?? What happened to him, my best friend." Pranay uncle asked again.

"Dad we should leave to Mehra house right now !!" Vaibhav interrupted standing up from the couch.

All three of them left to the parking while Sonali aunty and Daadi-maa followed them.

We all left for Mehras house and reached there after a drive of half an hour.

Kushaal ran to Vikram uncle's room as soon as we stepped inside their house. The hall was all empty and isolated.

We all followed Kushaal upstairs to the room.

Kushaal Opened the door of Vikram uncle's room and froze.

I entered the room and stood beside him, the moment that my eyes witnessed was beyond shocking for me.

Vikram uncle was lying lifeless on his bed and Shruti was sitting on the edge of the bed holding his hand and trying to wake him up crying like a baby.

"Dad....dad, please open your eyes....please dad....see your princess is calling you...you never ignore my callings for you....then what happened to you today...why are you not talking to me..." Shruti was crying bitterly, gently caressing her father's hand.

I put my palm on my mouth to supress my sobs but a trail of tears came out of my eyes, my legs became weak and I had to take the support of the wall behind me to hold myself from falling down.

Kushaal was still frozen on the spot, it was Vaibhav who put his hand over Kushaal's Right shoulder.

He turned around to Vaibhav and hugged his younger brother breaking down in his arms.

Vaibhav's eyes were red-shot as well indicating that he was crying too, meanwhile consoling Kushaal.

Shruti turned around leaving her Dad's hand and ran to the door where everyone was standing shocked.

"Sonali aunty please tell my dad to wake up, I want to hear his voice, I want him to call me princess once again." Shruti shook Sonali aunty who was a crying mess.

"Shruti....beta..." Sonali aunty said between her sobs and hugged her tightly caressing her head while crying.

Pranay uncle who was standing silent till now moved ahead to meet his friend one last time.

"Vikram....you traitor...we promised to spend good years of life together after getting retire from our medical profession, you broke the promise...you left me traitor..!!" Pranay uncle said to his friend who was lying there unresponsive.

" Doctor Sahab, control you emotions, we need to stay strong for our children." Papa came ahead and hugged Pranay uncle, who in return hugged him back and started crying as well.
