Unexpected Future!

Chapter 28

*Swathi Pov*

"Naku... Nakul Singh!" Maha stuttered, but I held her hand before following the man that was already walking in another way.

"He will take us." I said, holding her hand tightly and she nodded, but I can see the tears rolling down on her cheeks.

I tried to control my shaking, but in turn just increased the pressure of my hold which she hadn't even observed.

"He is in the operating theatre. They are saying the effect was too much to his left side of the body. He even stopped breathing before bringing him here." A man already there said when we reached near him.

Maha and I sat down hearing the words he just uttered. I covered my face feeling my whole body shaking while Maha gave into the sobs.

"Is it how you convey the details?" I heard a harsh voice and froze realizing whom it belongs to.

"James?" I whispered uncovering my face to see him glaring at the person who conveyed what happened.

"James!" I repeated and jumped up from the chair before moving near to him.

"You are fine! Thank god!" I whispered, reaching him and glanced at his right hand plastered.

"Mister! We asked you to not move from your bed." A nurse said, reaching us but he just ignored her.

"Mister!" she repeated and he glanced at her with an irritated expression.

"That is my friend fighting for his life and I have to sit on a bed because of this simple fracture?" he asked her in cold tone and she stepped back.

"She is doing her duty." I whispered and nodded at the nurse to which she left.

"Thank god? Your sister crying like that is a reason to thank him?" James asked glancing at me.

I immediately glanced at her to see she didn't even glanced this side and I felt shame for a second but confused too. How was she so sure it was Nakul?

"I didn't mean it like that. I was... was scared it was you." I replied, turning my attention to him.

He looks like someone standing very far from me and I am unable to reach him. Like something strong separation is on the way to reach him.

"But as it is Nakul, you are feeling fine now." He taunted and I immediately held his good hand.

"James!" I said, frowning at him.

"Are you happy that he is there suffering?" he continued and I closed my eyes before moving him near Maha.

"Sit down!" I whispered and he sat looking away while his body is shaking while I placed my hands on his shoulders.

"Is it paining?" I asked, staring at his hand.

"Leave me alone!" he replied gritting his teeth and I closed my eyes before glancing at Maha.

"Maha! He will be fine." I said, kneeling before her, but she shook her head, not looking away from the operating theatre.

"I should have listened to you. I should have called them back." She whispered and I stiffened holding her hands.

"Do you think he..." I trailed off, but she shook her head in negative making me close my eyes.

"Who?" James asked making me open my eyes and I turned to see him staring at both of us alternatively.

"Not important, James." I replied and he glanced at Maha.
