Aarohi Verma

It's been over two weeks since Ishaan got in an accident. And over two weeks since he is still not awake. Will he ever wake up? I shook my head to get off those negative thoughts off my mind. He will wake up, his muffin needs him. But when? I will wait for him no matter how long he takes to wake up. I've been visiting him every day and talk to him about a lot of stuffs maybe that can help him to open his eyes soon. I talk about what happened in college, about my day, the boys missing him and the coach feeling sad because of your absence. 

Rohit, Shashank, Vaishnavi and I all go to meet him at same time after our college. It's great to have them by my side to make me feel less lonely. But still there is the gap in my heart which can only be filled by Ishaan's presence. Just wake up Ishaan, it's been almost three weeks now.

Right now I'm packing my clothes to go back to dorm from Vaishnavi's house. I've been staying here since the past weeks as Vaishnavi don't want to leave me for a second. I was getting a lot of panic attacks recently and I even harmed myself because Ishaan was not there to hold me, to let me harm him. I've been drowning in guilt, and only Ishaan can save me by waking up.

So after a long time when his results were improving and my condition too, we decided to move back to dorm. She had nothing to pack other than books, but I have my clothes and books too. I was busy packing when my phone rang. I found it among the mess and saw it was Shashank who was calling me. Without wasting any time I picked up the call.

"Hello?" I spoke.

"Aarohi come to hospital fast" he spoke from the other side of the phone.

"Why? What happened? Is Ishaan okay? Did something happen to him?" I spoke in a breath because I was too anxious upon hearing him telling me to come to hospital 'fast'.

"Relax Aarohi. He is okay and he woke up. He is searching for you, that's why I said to come fast" he said making my heart relax. Ishaan woke up. He finally woke up and he is searching for me. I can't stop smiling as well as letting my tears fall from my eyes.

Soon I left everything back and headed straight to the hospital with Vaishnavi. I drove the car so fast that the 40 minutes' drive was cut short to 20 minutes. Upon reaching the hospital I left the key to Vaishnavi for parking the car and I ran inside the hospital. I ran straight down the hallway near his room when my footsteps halted.

I was near to his room and I was already breathing heavily. Will he forgive me? Will he forgive me for saying something shitty to him? Will he still love me? Or will he hate me now because I didn't trust him? What will he do when he will see me after this long? Fuck it, what will I do when I will see his ocean blue eyes? Will I be able to forgive myself? I don't know what I will do. I will sure apologise first.

I gather up all the courage to open the door when I see him sitting on the bed, but his entire view is guarded by Rohit and Shashank's back. And uncle is standing beside his bed talking about something, probably lecturing or comforting him.

"Ishaan..." I breathed out his name and a lone tear escaped from my eyes. Recently I've been crying too much and now it became way too normal for me.

The moment I said, Rohit and Shashank drifted apart giving me a perfect view of Ishaan sitting on the bed with a patient gown. And when he looked up, his ocean blue orbs colliding with my amber orbs it felt like I'm back to life. All this time I was just breathing and not living but now I'm alive seeing him alive and looking at me with those mesmerizing eyes of his. I don't know what to do so I just kept on escaping tears from my eyes. I really want to hug, him to touch me and soothe all my pain. But how do I go and hug him in front of his dad, I can't do that.
