Riya's POV:
I thought everything is going to be over, but what if the end is the beginning of some misery? What if  life turns into something meaningless? What if you want to give up everything including your soul? What if you feel so empty and stabbed by everyone behind your back for money? What if you feel lifeless inside though you are alive?

Who knew Rafidha would be a hypocrite except Allah? My job, my plans everything became a flop! I was insulted in front of everyone by Mr. Raj and his daughter and was dragged by my hair towards the gate and I was thrown out. Safa said she overheard the conversation between Rafidha and Mr. Raj. She has told that I'm here to take revenge on his Mr. Perfect Son-in-law. They cooked up a story which ruined my entire life. I was glad to know that Aqil was met with an accident and he is paralyzed right at the moment.
Since he is the to-be son-in-law of Mr. Raj, the MD of this reputed company and it was said that Rohini, the daughter of Mr. Raj too was with him during the accident.
This accident became SO FAMOUS! It was brought up in the media saying "some competitors of Mr. Raj who hated him for his the popularity should have done this and stuff!"
There were a lot of enquiries!
CIDs are still investigating on this incident!

Hilarious! Isn't it?

No one's dead in this incident, but still they react as if one whole nation's being slaughtered?
(Even that''ll be left out, unless it's some rich and popular nation.. you know what I mean!)

How come my mind lack confidence?
Being backstabbed, while you are in a traumatic moment is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone.

While staring outside the window, feeling the chilling environment through sight by being inside the room and covering myself with a blanket warmer, with a cup of  hot coffee in hand is something anyone would enjoy, I myself did, but it's just I couldn't remember when!
With so much in mind, and somewhere in wires of confusions I realized that I have lost myself!
My happiness is in the past! That once cheery girl is no more..!
It's just a 'once upon a time tale' !
I was once a charming girl, but now with dark circles around my eyes, pale skin, and feeling groggy.. Dad would cry.. if he's with me and sees me in this state.
No! If he he's with me, I wouldn't be in this state. Infact, he won't let a throne prick me! I was his princess!!
The two drops of tears which left my eyes, fell on my skin and shook me to reality.
I felt a warm hand on my shoulder.
Moma!

I really didn't wanna give her more trauma by being the way I am. I didn't say anything that happened to me at office. But still our eyes won't lie, especially our face would be an evidentiary to our Moms!
I closed my eyes for a second or two to forget what I was thinking.
With a deep breathe, I looked inside her eyes and gave a genuinely fake smile!
She looked hurt and angry! Angry towards me. I have never seen her like that before.

She sat in a chair in front of me, and looked as if she is not willing to look at me.
She was my confident! But now....
I felt my heart twisting!

"Moma! Is anything wrong?" I enquired.

Aqil's POV

The realization of being in coma for 3 months makes my heart rage in fury. It's like I had a deep sleep for three months, and world with a smirk be like,
"Hey honey! You had enough sleep! Now wake up and look at the changes.., the world is keeping with it to welcome you! Your ever-loving Rohini, Raj and your two friends, Amal and Ajmal are around you! Alas! Your parents are not with you! Specially brother"

Yes! My parents are not with me. My dad's kinda my type! He is fine with whatever decision I take. Infact, he is encouraging. My mom, being super-religious just like my never-exists-in-my-life brother threw me outta the house.
Living rich and luxurious is my dream. Of course our family is a well-to-do family. Since dad wants an upgrade in his business, I used Rohini as a triumph card. Things were going smoothly until this accident happens... and until I see those pair of eyes I bumped into, few months ago!
Whatever!

Coming to reality, laying on the hospital bed, I starred at my two friends for explanations. They were throwing a look of sympathy on me which doesn't suit them. I raised my eyebrows to convey my anger, since I couldn't shout at them like usual as my to-be father-in-law was there in the room.

I felt a hand being tangled with my hand, oops! I completely forgot about Rohini. I can feel her clinging on me.
I looked at her with pretentious love-look. She caressed my head and placed a kiss on my forehead. I clenched my fist to control my anger towards her.
God! Give me the patience to bear with her!

"So guys, let's give the newly married some privacy!" Said Mr. Raj and left along with my two friends who had their head hung down without any further looks.

This explains that something is terribly WRONG!
That means I'm MARRIED without me even knowing!!!
When did this happen?
My plans... NOW MY LIFE'S A TOTAL MESS now!!

*****

"I'm sorry honey!" Said Rohini to Aqil, who laid thunderstruck after the shocking words of his father-in-law.
Slowly he turned his head towards Rohini, questioning an explanation.
"Yes honey! We are married. Remember, I showed you a video of a cancer patient being married to her lover in the hospital bed, and right after the marriage the girl's dead! I said that I'm wishing for a marriage like that. See.. God made it happen... thank god! You are not dead! (Laughs) Joke!!" And she hugs him.
Aqil didn't respond.
"Honey! Look at this.." and Rohini starts showing a video of hers and Aqil's wedding. She's being dressed like a bride and had worn Aqil a suit! With decorative flowers all around the room and few guests around, they change rings.(Aqil's hand's being taken by Rohini and made to put the ring)!" It was compiled to a beautiful video with a melodious music!
Aqil has gone all black after watching the video.

"I'm So happy that you are cured! Now we can plan a honeymoon! I can move into your house...." Rohini was continuing her future plans while Aqil's all dumb and deaf as if he entered the coma again.
