Fatal attraction

Chapter 22

I wrapped my arms around the diary and hugged it. I wonder what happened to Rohan. He had stopped calling me from that day and since then, I was having weird thoughts. Was he committed with someone else? Did he give up on me? Is he alive? I shuddered at the last question. My heart thumped in my chest and negative thoughts filled up my mind. These thoughts resulted in some old memories flowing across my heart, warming my heart with happiness and love.

"Rohan?", I looked in his eyes as his bore into mine making me blush as always.

"Yes babe?", He smiled cheekily and put his arm around my small waist, bringing me closer to him, his eyes still fixed on me.

"Will you leave me like my parents did?", I gulped a lump dowm my throat and gave him an expecting look, waiting for his answer, his reaction to my question.

His smile vanished from his face as he mused for a while, pondering about how to answer my question and then the smile returned. "I won't leave the one I love the most", He cupped my face in his warm palms and brought my face closer to him, producing the irritating yet beautiful feeling of butterflies dancing in my stomach. My gaze shifted towards his lips which ignited an urge within me to kiss him, to taste them. He asked me through his eyes if I was okay with the kissing thing. I smiled sheepishly, signaling him that I didn't have any problem infact, I badly wanted to kiss him. Our lips met each other like they were longing for this moment. I smiled during the kiss enjoying the euphoria of that moment.

I mentally groaned when he pulled apart for some breath. He wrapped his arms around me as I wrapped mine around his neck  and we kissed again. My lips parted a little to let his tongue enter my mouth as his hands moved up and down on my back. That was my first kiss and damn, it was fantabulous...

"You are insecure, don't know what for..." I snapped back to the reality when my phone rang. I kept the diary aside and reached for my phone kept on the pillow. Unknown number? I quickly pressed the green button and held the gadget close to my ears.

"Hello?"

"Umm.. is it Sanjana speaking?"

"Y-yeah. Who is this?"

"Um.. Rohan's dad this side. I'm sorry for calling you but can you please arrive at the hospital near your house?"

"Why? What happened?", I petrified at the seriousness in his voice and on top of that at the word 'hospital'.

"Umm.. please arrive ASAP! I'll tell you everything there", He disconnected the call. I stared at the phone for minutes, debating on whether to go or not. Why is he calling me? Did something happen to Rohan? Oh God! No, I won't let someone die because of me, not this time even if it's my stupid ex. I grabbed my car keys and sped the car towards the hospital.

When I arrived there, his dad was waiting for me outside with a depressed look on his face which indicated he was crying earlier. He greeted me and explained me about the call. Apparently, Rohan had been drinking a lot and his liver has been damaged a bit. He even had the symtoms of depression.

Though he had been given the sleeping pills, he was moaning and shouting my name even in his sleep. I let out a sigh of relief. I was happy that nothing has happened to him.

I rushed towards his room and sat beside his bed, stroking his hair as he laid on the bed peacefully. He looked like a Greek God and I could see a halo around him.

Maybe, he deserves a second chance. Everybody does. But, how can I trust him? How can I get over the fact that he cheated on me? Where is the proof that he won't do it again? He can do that again and he would be more careful this time. Oh! I badly need Megha right now but she was busy with her official work for which she had gone to USA. She didn't specify about it neither did I ask.

Mom! I need you right now please. Suddenly, a beam of light flashed in the room like before in the park. My mother stood in the room in her magnificent white robes. She smiled at me. My eyes shot wide open and I rushed towards her side. She hugged me tightly as I did the same.

"Do you love him?", She whispered in my ear as her breath tickled it.

"Y-yes"

"Then, maybe he deserves another chance"

"B-But, he didn't even try after that day"

"Shsh.. I know everything. Just have faith in me and him.", She rubbed my back with her soft hands.

"Okay!", I wiped a tear off my face and faced her.

"I miss you!", I smiled weakly at her with a heavy heart.

"I miss you too but remember I'll always be by your side", She smiled and muffled my hair. I used to hate when she did that but now, I longed for this action. I longed for the feeling of her hugs and her love.

"Well then, I have to go now."

"Please stay a li'l while longer", I begged her as I clenched her dress and made my puppy dog face.

"You know I can't stay for long..", She scrunched her nose as tears started flowing down her cheeks.

"Sanjana?", Rohan's dad opened the door and froze when he saw my mom as if he had seen a ghost. Gosh! it was funny. I snickered at his expression.

"Umm...Yeah?", Only I know how hard I tried to express my giggle.

"Sneha?"

"Gosh, sir stop taking different names", My mother giggled along with me.

"You look so.... um.. white" This sentence made me giggle more.

"And you look umm.. old", I laughed loudly as I held my stomach for dear life. Gosh! What's with the awkward atmosphere?

"Okay, you.. two are ..acting like... strangers rather... than friends", I spoke in between my laughs. They both glared at me as if I committed a humongous crime. "What?"

"I have to leave and it felt good to see you, Marshall", My mind was too preoccupied with questions after this sentence that I didn't even notice that my mother was gone.

Marshall???????!!!! Oh fuck!

"Are you..."

"Yes, you are right", He sighed and shook his head. He sat on the chair and held his forehead.

"Oh!", was all that uttered from my mouth. I can't believe it! I've to ask him so many questions.

"Sanjana", I heard a hoarse voice calling my name. I immediately recognised it and smiled. His eyes showed sheer happiness. I rushed towards his side and kissed on his forehead. "Do you forgive me?"

"Not so easily, dumb!", I stuck out my tongue at him. He sighed and glanced sideways, glominess all over his features. I giggled and muffled his hair.

"You know I still love you but that doesn't mean you'll get me that easily", His eyes twinkled at my words and we both grinned. I pecked on his lips and brushed my lips on his cheeks, planting soft and slow kisses on the way. When I heard his dad coughing, I immediately pulled away. My cheeks grew red like an apple and I glanced on the floor shamefully. Man, I totally forgot he was there.

He left the room as Rohan snickered at my embarrased expression. "You look cute when you blush", His compliment made me blush more.

"Oh screw this hospital!", He sat on the bed and groaned. "I hate these stupid needles!"

He cupped my cheek with his right hand, stroking it. His lips met mine once again after so many weeks which felt like an eternity. Those butterflies returned once again in my stomach along with the warm feelings. The kiss explained everything to me. It gave the answers to all my questions and made me forget my insecurities. I finally gave up because I knew he won't hurt me now. I can trust him now.

For the first time of my life, I felt heavenly bliss in my heart....
