Previously....
Again I felt someone running and I saw.... Him.... Siddhanth?
And.
Shruti in his arms?
Shruti!!!?
I stood there shocked and the world lost its colour.

I woke up to a very white surrounding, on a not-so-fluffy bed. My eyes raked around my surroundings to see if someone was here. I was sure, I was in my second home, hospital of course. Well, breaking both of my legs and a few times my hands and getting out of surgery had been my favourite hobby ever since my mom left. My head hurt a little and I tried sitting back. Well, this reminds me of my first day being kidnapped. I had to laugh at the memory when I told laksh that he should've informed me. But even now, I wouldn't regret that. Maybe then, I could've got that diary with me. I had written a lot about myself, me and Sanskar, my mom, and unfortunately, even my dad. I had written that I loved him even after whatever he does. It's not easy to hate someone and when that someone is your own dad, it's rather difficult.
The door clicked bringing me out if my reverie. Ragini stood there, cheeks stained with tears.
"m... May I.. Come in? " she said between hiccups.
"of.. Of course... " I stuttered.
"are... You okay? "
"Sort of.... My head's banging... "
"can you please answer a question for me? "
The pause caught my throat. My voice ditched me. I contemplated before nodding my head slowly.
"have they hit her on her stomach harshly? "
She didn't need to mention the name. I already knew it.
I gulped. Even now things play in front of my eyes. I felt my eyes tearing up. And hers flowed.
I nodded. I remember them beating her up with an iron rod all over her body. Her head, her limbs, her stomach, her back. Everywhere.
My breath hitched at the memory.
"her body was.... heavily bruised.... But now, there's........ There's a chance that she could..... never bare a child. "
At this I lost it. Good now. Just because I wanted to see my mom, I destroyed her life. Maybe, I should have been careful about things and should have told Sanskar about it.
"..i.... I'm sorry..... " was all I could say between my sobs.
"her fate... Well, how are you doing? "
I nodded that I was fine. I couldn't get the words or strength to say something. I bit on my lower lip to avoid the sobs that may escape. By now, I'm sure I'm hardly breathing.
"Swara, there's someone I want you to meet.... " she said.
I bet my eyes grew wider. The fear of the person being Siddhanth, or even worst Sanskar, or laksh, killed me. Can I face them? I didn't know that the person I was told to hit off was Maheshwari. Fear strained my body, as I shook.
"no.... " I said sobbing.
"she's wanting to see you since you were brought home... "
She? Who was this now? It can never be shruti. She wasn't getting up anyway before me. Oh, wait! How long was I out?
"ragini, how... How long was I out? "
"three hours... Swara, please, she's willing to see you badly.... "
I didn't know what to say. I sat quiet.
"I'll take it as yes... " she said smiling slightly. Before I could oppose she was out. My fate.... Could I change something? God! I wish I could.
