The Unknown Bodyguard

Chapter 10

(Bonus Chapter)

Ranbir's POV

I can't tell if it's killing me or it's making me stronger. It's been six months since that accident. It's all my fault. I didn't take care of my wife. I should saw that car. How stupid I was ! Now, she's paying for my mistakes. She's in a coma. I wish I could give every drop of my life to turn back time. Sunrise aren't the same without her. My life for the past six months was so miserable without her but thank God, my daughter can still bring the light for me even though I felt like there's nothing but darkness that filled my life right now. Tara was surprised by what happened to her mother. She felt lost when her mother was not home but after I consoled her, she tried to understand everything even though she missed the person who are closest to her.

I missed my sweetheart. I don't want to leave her side. I want to stay by her side so that, I see her opening her eyes into mine. I missed her hazel eyes. I missed how she rolled her eyes and laughed dismissively. Her breathing was so calm, it made me realised how much I miss our laughter, our arguments, her laughter, her chiseled words and her honesty. Home isn't home without her, it was just four walls.

Sometimes Mum and Dad rubbed my back when they saw I cried while thinking about her. They convinced me, Anisha consoled me that she will come back, she need rest. I tried my best, not to be weak, stay strong but sometimes I just can't hold my feelings. I want Deepika to wake up. I want her to come back to me. I want to tell her how much I love her. I need her to blink. I need her to blink at the sound of my voice. I need her to flush red when I say I truly love her from every inch of my existence. But don't worry. I will wait for her, patiently. I know how unpredictable coma can be, but I won't give up on her.

Tara had to stay with Anisha for a while. Sometimes when I brought Tara to visit her mother, she quickly ran towards the bed and asked me to put her besides her mother so that she can kissed her mother's cheek and told everything she wanted to tell. And when she eat, she imitates her mother's behaviour so much ! I smiled looking at our daughter behaviour and when Tara replied my smile, her dimples reminds me about my sweetheart a lot.

I held Deepika's hand, hoping that she will wake up. I rest my head besides her hand and look at her until I don't realised that I fell sleep. Suddenly, I felt something moving. Her hands been pulled away from me. Then, I lifted my head and look at her. She's awake. My sweetheart is back.

"Sweetheart, you're awake..." I smiled and lean closer to her but she gripped my hands and stop me.

"Who are you ?" she questioned. Maybe her memories still weak after been in a coma.

"Sweetheart, it's me. Ranbir..." I said.

"Ranbir ? Who's Ranbir ? Where am I ? Why I'm here ? Who am I ?" she asked.

"Sweetheart, I'm your husband..." I said, wobbly. I can't see her like this. She's so confused. What happened to my sweetheart ?

"Husband ?"

"Yes, Deepika..." I said.

"Deepika ?" she asked before she hold her head. She was struggling with pain. I was panic before I quickly called the doctor and nurses.

"Mr. Kapoor, please leave for a while." ordered the doctor before he checked her pulse and everything. Then, the doctor gave tranquilliser and put her to sleep.

I tried to approach the doctor to ask about her when the doctor told me, "Ranbir, your wife experiences amnesia. And I'm sorry... we can't save the baby."

I looked at the doctor, unbelievably.

"Baby ?"

"Yes, Ranbir. She was two months pregnant."

Suddenly I felt like someone just snatched away the precious thing on my life after I heard the explanations from the doctor. We lost our baby and she forget everything. She even forget about me. Why must everything happened to me, God ?

I called everyone and asked them to come to the hospital. When they arrived,

"Papa, is Mama awake ?" asked Tara excitedly as she quickly ran towards me.

"Yes, baby. But right now, doctor said Mama should rest for a while." I explained as I knelt down.

"Wake her up, na...she's sleep too much. I miss Mama..." sulked Tara.

"Tara, come. Let's eat ice cream at downstairs." approached Anisha when she saw I tried to hold my tears. Then, they walked out from the room.

"What did doctor said, son ?" asked Dad.

"She's... she's experiences amnesia." I cried and hugged Dad. I can't tell them about the lost.

"Deepika..." cried Mum as she sat besides her and hugged her. Then, Mum asked, "And the baby ?"

I looked at her.

"Mum, you know about it ?"

"Deepika asked me not to tell you, son. She said she want to surprise you..." sobbed Mum.

"We... we lost it..." I said before hugged Dad again.
