Inseparable hearts (Maaneet Version)

Chapter 05

Geet was back in her senses. She gained consciousness. She felt dizzy. She tried to open her eyes but it was hard. She felt that she was carrying a thousand pounds. They were heavy than anything. She slowly started moving her fingers.

'Doctor!' She heard someone's voice. It was the nurse who was monitoring her. She ran off to call the doctor to report about Geet's condition. Geet heard many noises in the background, but she couldn't figure out at once, where she was.

She opened her eyes after much effort, yet her vision was blurred. She saw a white figure in front of her. She blinked a few times to adjust her eyes for the light.

'Miss. Geetanjali. How are you feeling now?' She heard an anonymous voice. After a few minutes she figured out that she was in a hospital. 'Am I alive?' She thought. She started flash blacking the incidents happened a few hours back. How she took a major decision to end her life because she couldn't bear up anymore.

'Ahh.. my head is paining' She started messaging her forehead.

'You feel better soon' The lady doctor patted her.

'But doctor, how did I...? how did I come here? who..?' Geet was confused.

'Thanks to your friend, you were rushed in to the hospital on time, or else you can't even imagine what would have happened to you.' The doctor replied.

'Friend?' 'Which friend?' 'Who is that?'

'He is waiting outside. Let me call him. He is so worried for you.'

The doctor called Maan inside. Geet was shocked to see him. He rushed inside with tears.

'Geet!' He hugged her tightly. Geet couldn't understand what was happening. How did he come across her? How did he save her? A lot of questions were troubling Geet. At the same time she felt blank. She didn't know how to respond. Tears started running out of her eyes.

Maan cupped her face. 'Geet are you doing alright?' 'You are okay na?' Geet was silent. She looked down with teary eyes.

'Doctor, Geet is doing fine right?' He inquired the doctor.

'Yes, she is out of danger now. Thankfully you brought her to the hospital on time. We could prevent the toxic effects of the drug overdose. It would have been a major threat to Miss. Geetanjali's life if it was late. Anyway she should take care of her self, & about this incident, I need to talk with her & her parents leisurely & take necessary actions in order to make her mentally stable' Doctor replied.

'Please do not fret too much about it. We shall talk about the incident later. First you have to recover. Just take care.' The doctor advised Geet & left the room giving space for Maan & Geet.

'Geet.' Maan caressed her face. Both of them were staring at each other. Maan noticed the pain in Geet's eyes. Maan was in tears too, but he tried to stay strong in front of her.

'Maan.. why? why did you save me?' Finally Geet uttered breaking the silence.

'Shh..' Maan covered her mouth with his palm. He moved his head signalling not to speak.

'Geet! how dare you ask a stupid question like that huh?' Don't you know how precious you are? You deserve to live!'

'But what's left there?' ' I just hate my life. Why didn't you let me go?' Geet spoke in a low tone.

'Geet listen, I don't want to talk about the past. But I am feeling guilty that I am indirectly responsible for your present condition.' Maan replied.
