Sanyukta opened her eyes with great difficulty .It felt like some one kept weights on her lids.Her pupils were slowly adjusting to the surroundings and that was when she saw HIM.

A greek god of my age(17) was perched on the top of the side table.He was wearing kaki shorts and a crisp white shirt.He had a lean built and deep brown eyes set under two perfect brows. I tried to make something escape my  mouth but  felt dryness.

"WHOAH you are up.Hi I am Randhir."He jumped off his seat and came towards me.

I finally found my tongue and asked " where am I."

"Oh in a hospital, you had a heart attack remember. I know you are gonna ask about your mom so she is fine. Infact she was with you for the past few  days.She left an hour ago for an important recording."

"Oh thanks.I am Sanyukta"

"I know,who doesn't, you are a star.I am your biiig fan."

"How come you are here.?"

"I don't think your condition is good enough to hear my story,so for the time being just know that I know you and will help you if you need anything like ,water?"

He asked me with his already  perfect eyebrows in the shape of an arch.

"Yeah."

That was when my mother along with an old man who looked like a doc came in.

"Oh sweetheart you are up."My mom ran towards me and hugged me tight.

"Ah Mrs.Agarwal careful she is very delicate."

"OK I got a bit carried away.Were you feeling lonely sweety momma is so sorry.There was an urgent recording."

Well I was used to this.It was not like my mom never had time for the family or any thing.She loved me but couldn't help the fact that she was hell busy in her career.I respected her and always aimed to be like her.My dad left us unable to cope up with her schedule and because of his big fat ego,but I never blamed her for this.If a talent like her's was wasted in our kitchen then god wouldn't have forgiven her.

"I understand mom.Besides I wasn't alone I had a boy here with me."

"A boy, who dear."

"Oh mom he is right behind you by the fruit table.His name is.."

He was showing me some signs to keep quiet but I couldn't get the reason.My mother and the oldie was staring at everything with puzzled looks

"Mrs Agarwal I think the surgery left an impact on her brain.Don't worry it is temporary."

My mother nodded at him knowingly.What the hell is this some kind of a joke.

"Oh hello if you have something to talk about me talk to me.Stop making comments on me as though I am your research speciman. Mom trust me there is a boy standing there right behind you and I am not bloody hallucinating.See this glass he poured water in it to give me before you guys came."

"Sanyukta what is wrong with you.You might be having a  concussion but you don't hold any right to talk to the doc this way."

"What is wrong with me mom ,seriously.When I wake up after a stupid heart attack you were out for a godforsaken recording.Now instead of accepting the fact that that a 6 foot tall boy is standing behind you, you and your stupid doc is writing a treatment chart for my mental illness."I yelled at her unable to contain the frustration FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE.

I felt the surroundings dim when I realised that mom was right.I was not this way, what happened but I  found a lot of  bottled up aggression in me.I was scared.Unable to cope up with the new heart which I didn't even know was inside me I passed out.
