Her Racing Heart (Part 1)

22

"I pray this should be our end of sadness... "

Days passed Meera stayed in the hospital, by simply sleeping and eating the food that they are providing. In the evening a psychiatrist will come and advise her to overcome her suicidal thoughts. But she has already decided not to do that mistake again. She is broken inside and tired of everything but still, she has to live in this world that's what written in her head.

A psychiatrist is a man he must be sixty above. He looks so mature, calm and smiles nicely. He always tells her one thing that she is a very strong person compared to her outer appearance. He gives advice like he closely watched her. She even asked him whether he knew about her but he replied that he is one of the best doctors in the town so he'll know how to understand a person well. Everything he says is relatable for her life. Meera silently hears that and smile when he leaves. The same nurse stayed with her for four days, Meera started talking with her nicely to know who admitted her to the hospital but the nurse is so stubborn. She didn't utter a single word about that. Whatever the question she asks no one clearly saying the answer and avoiding her.

Meera still doesn't know how she came here and why they are treating her with this much of care. She is not even paid the bill for this hospital and the room she is staying looks like a VIP room.

She thought whether it is Vikranth who saved her but she doesn't want to accept it. And her heart said he is not, because what he is going to get if he saves me. After all, he's Vikranth right!! He doesn't want me and the words he said were still ringing in her ears.

Vikranth controlled himself to not to see Meera. When he heard that she stabbed herself with a knife, he got really angry with the doctor and the nurse who were with her, he scolded and warned them that nothing should happen hereafter.

He asked the senior psychiatrist to give counseling to her. Vikranth told everything to him because it is very much needed now to treat her. The doctor also suggested him to take counseling because he also looked depressed, but Vikranth refused.

He called Manohar every day and asked about Meera. But he didn't go there to see her. He asked everyone to not to say anything about him.

Though he controlled himself, his heart yearned to see Meera. He wanted to see her for one last time. So he went to the hospital late in the night before the day she's getting discharged from the hospital, it must be around 12.00pm.

He is relieved to see that she's sleeping peacefully. He didn't touch her or went so close to her. He looked at her face and he thought that's enough for his heart. Then he covered the duvet fully on her and smiled.

This is the last time I am seeing you Meera it's my promise. I don't know whether I can control myself if I saw you again but if I find that you're not happy then I will come for you again and do my best level to see the happiness again in your face. I don't know what this fate planned for us Meera....... He thought and reached out his hand to touch her face but he refrained from doing that and walked out with a heavy heart.

(AFTER RECOVERY)

Meera opened her eyes in the middle of her sleep, there's no one in the room but she felt like someone talked with her. She sat up and blankly stared at the darkroom.

Tomorrow she is going to discharge from here and she doesn't know how she is going to live hereafter. She has to search for a job and she has to change her mind as the doctor said, Meera decided and stayed awake all night.

Next day morning, Meera got discharged from the hospital and went to her house. She felt new and fresh. But still, the house reminded about everything. She went to the bank and found there are five lakhs in her mom's account, she took about twenty thousand for her expenses and went back to her house.
