Mia's POV

I was alone in the house. It was almost 8pm . Karan wasn't back yet . He always informed previously if he will be late . Maybe he is struck in some last minute meeting, I tried to convince myself but for some unknown reason I couldn't stay still .

It was silent everywhere. I had this gut feeling from the morning that something bad will happen. Being alone in the home didn't help with my hunch .

Oh. Karan . Just come back already.

I had nothing better to do ,so I got my quilt downstairs and wrapped it around me and sat in the couch . There was nothing good in the tv so I kept shuffling through the channels and finally landed on this movie "Letters to Julliete ". It was already 20 mins in the movie but I had watched it previously so I continued watching. The story is really sweet how two lovers were United after 50 long years . In the end it shows that true love wins against all the odds .

I didn't even realize when I dosed off untill my phone started ringing .

I picked it up and it already had 5 missed calls and it was 2 am . 3 calls were from Karan and others were from some unknown number . Karan wasn't back yet . For the first time I was scared . Really really scared . I was sitting straight and even if I wanted , I couldn't move my limbs . It was as if I was in some trance.

My phone went off again and I could finally move as if the trance was broken . I picked it up .

"Hello, is this Karan Raichan's wife?" Someone asked from the other end . His voice was strictly professional.

"Yes, speaking." Despite everything my voice came out straight.

"Ma'am , I have to inform you that your husband has been in a severe accident and now he is admitted in Apollo Hospital. I am Ranjit Berma , the investigating officer of this case. "

He was saying something. But I couldn't hear anything after the part that Karan is in a hospital. I knew something bad will happen. Maybe that's why I didn't want him to go this morning.

I have to go to him.

I tried to call our family driver but he never picked up. He was sleeping most probably. There was no choice left. I had to drive . My hands were shaking, it's been a long time since I drived.

I arrived at the hospital and ran to the reception.

"Where is Mr. Karan Raichand?" The lady behind the desk was giving me pitiful eyes. 

"Who are you to him? We can't give his room number to random people".

"I am his wife . Now please". Tears were running down my face . The lady gave me a small smile and gave me the room number and direction.

Karan was in 3rd floor of the hospital.

I reached his door and 2 guards were standing at the door. Looking at me they stepped aside .
Inside, a doctor was checking on Karan and a nurse was writing down whatever the doc was saying.

Karan was lying still , as if he was in a peaceful sleep. He looked so relaxed .

"Doctor what happened to my husband?"

"I am doctor Ghosh . Ma'am your husband has a broken hand . Otherwise he has some big cuts and bruises and he may suffer from concussion, his head took a bad hit . I recommend 1week bed rest . And he will be good. We will put his arm in a cast . "
Doctor Ghosh went back to checking something once again in the monitor.

"Everything looks fine . Now if you would excuse me . You can stay here if you want and nurse Das is his personal nurse ". And he left .

I sat on the stool that was by his bed . He had a nasty cut in his face . Up close his face looked really tired and battered up. His right hand was in cast . I silently thanked God , that nothing major has happened to him. 

Slowly I touched his head and my fingers started running through his hair in their own accord. I pressed a small kiss on his forehead wishing for his fast recovery. He was given some high doses to keep him out the whole night.

I looked at the nurse , she was sitting by the window reading some book.

"Miss, can you tell me exactly what has happened?" I asked her.

Her eyes met mine ," Some car smashed into his car . Luckily from the other side of where he was sitting. The other car's breaks failed and the driver couldn't lost control. He died on the spot. Your husband and your driver survived. "  She also told me about other details.

I realized something and took my phone out. I had three missed calls from Karan . Before the police missed calls.

All of his calls were between 10:30-10:32 pm . According to the nurse that's when the accident happened. Oh my God, he was calling me even in his critical condition. And I was sleeping. My eyes teared up again.

The nurse excuses us after telling me to ring the red bell that was beside the bed , if anything was needed.

I couldn't take my eyes from him. I cannot even sleep now without him. Without being embraced in his strong arms . I kissed his forehead again, hoping that I will never have to go through this again. I never wanted to see him on this bed again. I took his good hand in mine and gently squeezed it. I took his hand to my lips and kissed every knuckle.

"Be all right love ".

I placed my head beside his and in no time I dosed off.
