Reality Check ✔

Part 20

Arnav comes out of the hug and asks cutely 'Maa tell something, why are you not speaking anything?'

Radhika looked at arnav shocked after hearing his calling and complaining. She's looking at him without a blink. Rajiv taps her shoulder,

Rajiv: Mom, he is speaking to you. He also shocked to react anything, but after seeing the scared face of arnav looking at his mother longingly he decide to break his mother shocked state.

Arnav angrily stares at rajiv 'Why are you calling her mom? She is my Maa' said possessively clinging to her shoulders. Other members literally had heart attack.

Radhika comes out of the shock, hold his hand and take him to bed. She helps him to sit,

Radhika: beta take rest your head is injured, said concernly.

Arnav touches his head and found some bandages.

Arnav: Maa how did i get this wound?

Radhika: You slipped from stairs beta, sleep. We can talk later, saying this she helped him to lay in bed and sit beside him start to caress his forehead.

Arnav: Maa after i sleep, don't leave me alone. Please stay here beside me. I am scared.

Radhika: Ok beta sleep. I am going nowhere. Arnav holds her hands and slept instantly due to tiredness.

Khushi: whispered, what happened to him?

Nani: Aman beta call doctor.

Soon doctor arrives and starts to check him. Raizada's held their breathe looking at both arnav and doctor. Doctor requests them to wait outside. All nods and went outside, but radhika can't come out of arnav's grip. So doctor tells her to stay there itself.

Anjali: Nan i am scared, why he is speaking like this?

Aakash: Why did he called radhika aunty Maa? Did you all notice he looks scared seeing us?

Khushi sat numb and continuously chanting 'devimaiyya' name.

Mami: He is scared of us. What if he forgot us? asked herself but loud enough for others. Others also shocked hearing mami's question. What if he forgot me? this thought running in all their minds.

Ruhi: Dad why uncle called dadi as his maa? She is your maa haaina...asked innocently.

Rajiv: Uncle is unwell na, so he needs dadi's care like you want dadi by your side when you are ill. Go watch TV doll. Ruhi nods and went to mini theatre in arnav's penthouse. Rajiv turns towards raizada's and clear his throat to gain attention.

Rajiv: Is ASR seen my mom before? asked politely. I mean his head is injured may be he lost his memory. If then he must have seen my mom somewhere or else how can he say maa when he sees her for the first time.

Nani: No beta there is no chance, radhika already said na she lost contact with ratna. So chotte has no chance to saw her before.

Lavanya, aman, Nk are silently standing outside arnav's room with a fear of arnav's memory loss. After an hour,

Arnav slowly opens his eyes and sees doctor with fear. Instantly he turned towards his left to see his mother. Slowly crawled towards radhika and says,

Arnav: Maa...tell doctor to go out. I am scared of injection.

Radhika: He is not going to put injection beta, relax. You have to answer what doctor going to ask? Said lovingly like a mother spoke to her child.

Arnav: But maa....

Radhika: You trust me na......

Arnav: nods and agrees, You will be here na...if you not sit beside me then i am not giving answers, said stubbornly. Radhika nods.

Doctor: How are you feeling? Is your head paining?

Arnav: I am fine doctor. My head is slightly paining like an ant bite, said cutely.

Doctor also smiled hearing his childish answer and asks, 'May i know what is your name?'

Arnav: Arnav....

Doctor: Ok, Mr.Arnav what is your full name? Arnav confusedly looks at doctor. I mean see my name is karan khundra, like this what is your full name?

Arnav scratches his head try to remember his name but he cannot remember anything.

Arnav: Don't know, said absentmindedly....and suddenly something clicks in his mind, Who gave your second name khundra ?asked curiously.

Doctor: My father name is khundra, so i am also khundra.

Arnav: Oh.....after thinking he turn towards his mom, 'Maa what is your name?'

Radhika: Radhika khanna, said smilingly.

Arnav: instantly turn towards his right side, doctor so my name is "ARNAV KHANNA".

Meanwhile, doctor and radhika shocked hearing arnav answer they both know he is raizada but he is saying khanna with childlike expression.

Arnav shakes radhika, 'Maa what are you thinking? I said correct na'

Radhika: nothing beta, how can you know you are arnav khanna.

Arnav: doctor said na his father name come to him. i don't have dad na so i add your last name. I am correct na, asked innocently.

Radhika awwed at his sharp mind, even after losses his memory he is smart "You are correct beta"

Arnav hugs her instantly says, 'I know i am intelligent haaina' doctor come out of his musings and asks the second question.

Doctor: How many members are in your family?

Arnav thinks sometimes and says "Me and My maa"

Doctor: How old are you?

Arnav: I am 5 years old, said instantly.

Doctor shakes his head in understanding while radhika looked at arnav shocked hearing his answers.

Doctor: In which school you are studying?

Arnav: How many questions you are going to ask? I am getting bored. And continued threatening in voice, If you promise me to remove the wires attached to me then i will answer your questions or else....... else..........started thinking how to threaten him?

Doctor: I am not the one who attached this wires, so i cannot remove this, he said playfully.

Arnav: Don't lie to me doctor. I know doctors only attach wires and put big big injections, i saw it in TV.

Doctor: Ok....I'll remove only if you promise me to take healthy food.

After making yuck faces he agreed to take healthy food.

Arnav: Doctor why my hands and legs are paining? Radhika instantly checks his hand and legs to see any wound.

Doctor: Your head is injured na so only legs and hands are paining. After some exercise, you will be fine like before without any pain.

Arnav: My head only injured, why my hands and legs are paining? asked curiously like a child and continue asking questions without a break and not giving any chance for doctor to answering. His mind cannot understand why his hands are paining when actually the injured is head.

Doctor can't able to give any explanation to his continuous questions. So he quickly somehow bid bye to arnav and comes out of his room sighs.

Aman: How is he? Why he is scared? Why he is acting weird? Is he remember us? asked in one breathe.

Doctor: Take a breath young man, i am sure you are his friend. Can we go downstairs? If he sees me outside his room then again he may start his questioning session i can't afford it, said wiping his sweat in the forehead.
