Nishant's subconscious mind tried its best to keep awake but as the drugging liquid got mixed in his blood, everything went completely black. All his senses were again back to not feeling anything. He slipped into a traumatic and unwanted sleep.
Dhruv looked worriedly at his bunched forehead. As his head twisted to the other side, he knew Nishant was dreaming again. Somehow his subconscious mind had realised something was wrong. A couple of days more and he would be fully awake. And, then a storm would turn everything upside down. Dhruv closed his eyes and tried his best not to worry about the turn of events in the past days.
"Look what that wretched woman has done to my son," Meera Naik said as she came and sat next to Nishant's bed.
"Don't worry, Aunty. Now that I am here, I'll take care of him. I know he doesn't love that woman. Nishant only has me in his mind. I know it," Rushali replied pressing his hand between her palms almost trying to brand him as hers.
Nishant's body jerked with violent spasms the moment his drug-induced mind realised it was not Aparna's hand holding his.
Scared Rushali let his hand go and moved away.
Meera Naik held his hand and tried to soothe the spasms but nothing happened.
Nishant continued to twist from side to side as the images of the past events flashed through his mind. He saw her standing near the window with Prakriti in her lap, waving to him. But the moment he moved towards them, they jumped out and disappeared.
"APARNA!" he shouted with shock and pain.
"Shhhh! It's okay. They are safe. Calm down," Dhruv said placing his hand on Nishant's forehead trying to soothe his agitated state.
Slowly he calmed down and went off to drugged yet disturbed sleep.
****************
Aparna pulled the covers on Prakriti and looked at her sleeping face. Tears slipped out as she remembered everything that had transpired in the past days. Her life had again turned upside down and she was again at fault.
She touched her daughter's small hand and closed her eyes, and apologised for the ordeal she had gone through. And, all because of what? Because she wanted to find happiness again?
Bullshit!
Aparna got up from the bed and hugged herself. Breathing hard, one by one she buried the time spent with Nishant in the deep confines of her heart.
You can dream, but you should never wish all your dreams to get fulfilled.
And, Nishant was one of them.
As the hurtful voices of Rushali and Meera Naik played in her mind again, everything started to burn. Gradually her whole being got engulfed in flames and his name also flared up with her until only ashes remained, and then the ashes also became non-existent.
