Aise Kaise Jaane Doon?

Episode #9

"Karan???" called out a beautiful female voice.

"Come on! Stop it and come out.." she whined.

"Oh Karan, let's not play this game. Karan, please.... come out.... stop hiding... I gave up okay?" the voice pleaded as Karan continued to hide in one of the rooms in his huge house. It was house entirely for him as he stayed away from the Chauhan mansion for his studies.

The girl stood in the middle of the hall, requesting Karan to come out.

"That's enough Karan! You are scaring me... this is the kind of nightmare I see when I shut my eyes.. Something I never told because I'm scared if it would turn true!" she said as her eyes slowly filled up with tears.

"Karan... I see myself standing a place where I can't see you...... where I can't talk to you...... where.. where I can't meet.. where I can't hug you or cry on your shoulders........" she started sobbing. It was Nidhi.

"Karan... I'm sooo scared of that nightmare........ that I'm scared to even shut my eyes to sleep!..." she started crying as she spoke out the biggest fear of her life.

Suddenly she stopped and looked up in shock as she felt something crawl onto her stomach. from her back.

She looked down and found two hands hugging her after which a chin fell onto her shoulder.

"I'm sorry....." Said Karan. There sank her heart she felt better immediately.

She broke the chain that hands formed, spun around and hugged him tightly. Karan embraced her in return, where she felt safe.

"And yeah Madam... I'm not gonna go anywhere. Neither are you gonna go anywhere. So, yeah... never talk about that stupid nightmare ever again, okay?"

Suddenly shifts to the time when Karan receives a call from Nidhi.

"Hello, Nidhi? I ..." he said.

Immediately he felt tensed and fell silent with the reply. He ended the call and rushed out, got into the car and left from his home.

He halted the car in front of a building he never wanted to go at this point of time. Hospital!

He entered the hospital with fear as his heart rate increased. He approached a nurse and she lead him to the emergency block. He wiped his face as he was perspiring profusely.

Another nurse walked up to him with a zip-lock, transparent packet that contained materials he was familiar of and he loved to see them.... but not in this packet.... and not here, in this building.

The packet had Nidhi's ring, bracelet, anklets, a simple chain, earrings and a cell phone. He loved to see her wearing these ornaments. His heart pumped up harder as seconds passed by. Almost as though it would burst out any moment. He looked up slowly as he heard the noise of old annoying wheel of a stretcher that was pull out of the room. "Sorry...." he heard the doctor tell him as she gave him a small pat of sympathy.

"NIDHIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!" Karan yelled as he woke up from his sleep. He had been sweating profusely. He couldn't stop his tears from flowing but like always muted his voice because he never wanted anyone to know that was crying. He always knew that no one would understand the pain he had experienced when he had seen the love of his life lying lifeless on the stretcher, that day. He never wanted anybody to show their sympathy towards his loss. It would just hurt him even more.
