Sohni Kuddi Namkeen Badi

Chapter 17

Boom! And everything was blank. I felt the blood dripping from my forehead down to my lips, but I was unable to act on it. I felt too weak to do anything. My eyelids, which were just on the verge to close, could see my phone ringing at a distance, and I let it be. I didn't even tried to get to it, because I knew, moving even an inch will cause a lot of pain. So I stayed as I was in the middle of the road, bleeding, waiting to see, what will happen next with me.

Within moments, there were people around, scrutinizing my car. I heard alot of omgs, This is The Kian, The Head of Ksales, Omg, it's Kian.. and so on. There were lots of flashes and I felt like am the superhero Krish, people are clicking my photos even in this condition. I laughed at the thought alone. But hell! it was painful.

After they were done with all the videos and photos, some of the generous people out of them, helped me to the nearest hospital. I wanted to tell them that hospital wasn't needed, I am fine and completely in my senses, but I kept shut. I knew it will be a lot of effort to try and speak, and it will be much more painful too. So things were happening and I was letting them be.

After we reached the hospital, I was smiling at the irony of the situation, I Mr. Kian, the owner of a pharmaceutical company, one of India's largest at that, was standing helpless in front of a hospital. Well not actually standing on my own. After the doctors, nurses and other staff members were done admiring the beauty in front of them, news flashed, rumors spread and I was taken in for treatment. Thankfully.

There was nothing serious of course. Just some stitching and dressing and I was done. However I was still very weak to open my eyes or talk. They gave me some pills to rest, and I gladly did. Slowly sipping into unconsciousness. I completely forgot why I was driving so rash and where was I going to.

Later when I woke up, the first sight that I saw was of Pihu. She was weeping yet again, her hand above mine and her head bend low. Besides her, on a chair sat John. He looked lost as well. I looked around, I was lying on an airbed. Some weird looking wires were attached to my body and a white plaster on my forehead.

The constant sound of ECG machine was playing on the background along with Pihu's soft sobs. Sometimes I don't understand what is with girls and crying? I then tried to remember how I ended up here on a hospital bed in blue patient's shirt and pajamas. The car accident came to my mind and then the photos, videos, the hospital came too. But why was I driving the car? The events before the accident didn't came to my mind at all.

Suddenly I felt uncomfortable between those wires, that awful shirt, and that bed. I tried to move but the instant I did that, the idiot ECG machine changed its tone and Pihu and John looked up and started " Ohh Kian! you are finally awake"
" Yes Sherlock " I said. I was in no mood for their sympathy, I wanted to get out of this hospital and then I wanted my normal lifestyle, my usual suit and shirt, my fragrance. Here, I was a mess and I was getting irritated by each passing moment.

John informed the doctors and they came in to check up on me. They asked how I am doing and I politely whispered a fine with a smile. I asked them when I can go home and they informed me that I still need rest, so a day or two maybe. I sighed. This was not going good at all.

After the doctors left, Pihu left with them too to ask about reports and other medical details, John sat besides me and whispered " Sorry buddy, if I wouldn't have called you, this wouldn't have happened " I was confused about which call he was talking about but slowly things in my mind arranged themselves and the memory settled.

How I was angry at her. How I got the call and how I drove and then the accident followed. The emotions played inside my head. Sometimes anger, other times confusion. I was on the way to take care of John but he was here taking care of me and that too completely in his senses. There were so many things that I have missed during my unconscious state. It was time to clear them now.

" why the hell were you drunk in the first place? And how come you reached here? Why do you do such stupid things John? Pihu is so worried about you at least think of her! " I wasn't able to shout but still I tried to sound like am annoyed at him.

" Its only her thoughts that led me there Kian, she loves me way too much. And you know I have a few weeks left. Once I will be gone, she will spoil her life. She's so young and beautiful. I want to see her future happy. But she is so stubborn, she won't leave me. She will suffer with me till the end and after am gone. I don't understand why girls are so emotional. Am going, dieing, she needs to get a healthy and better man in her life who can stay by her side till the end and keep her happy. " he emotionally stated.

She's worried about him and he's about her. Then dear God, why are you making it complicated. Let them live peacefully. At that exact moment the door opened and Pihu entered. John turned around while whiping his tears.

" Kian " she said nervously. The thought that I won't get a discharge even after two days crossed my mind for a second. " speak up Pihu, the suspense is killing me here" I told her while trying to fake a laugh. Was I diagnosed with some life threatening disease?

" Kyra is here too.. I saw her on the corridor outside"
