You Belong With Me | Completed

Chapter- 25 Broken Trust

The gang rushed Mitali into the hospital. She was bleeding profusely. After all, she was hit by a car.After admitting her, the gang resigned themselves to a long wait. Sahil and Daksh tried to console Shanu and Ananya, but in vain. Their cheeks were wet and eyes were red due to weeping. 

Taps: She tried to save me.

Everyone looked at her with surprised eyes.

Taps: She pushed me and came in front of that car. She sacrificed her life to save mine's.

Ruhaan: Nothing's going to happen to her. Trust me, she's gonna be fine.

Saying that, he looked at Adi, who was standing still  in a corner. He went up to him and lightly touched his shoulder.

Ruhaan: How are you holding up?

Adi: (In a hardly audible voice) I don't know.

Ruhaan: Hey.....she's gonna be fine, alright? Nothing's going to happen to her.

Adi: How can you be so sure?

Ruhaan: I know. I just know.

Adi shrugged his shoulders.

Ruhaan: Don't worry. We all know she's a fighter.

He went back to where he was sitting earlier. But Adi's mind and heart were not satisfied or consoled by Ruhaan's words. He knew deep down that the darkest hour is just before dawn. He was finding it difficult to breathe.The thought of her going away from him was terrifying. It was true that he had known her for only three weeks.But in those three weeks, he fell head over heels for her. Her smile, her eyes and her sarcasm. He loved everything about her now.

He was just starting to know her better. Was destiny really going to take her away from him?

Tapasya,on the other hand, was feeling guilty. She mistook her decency to be fake affection. She was really a nice person.A great friend.A friend that she knew she didn't deserve.

Actually, Tapasya had befriended Mitali, just for the sake of impressing Ruhaan. So she had put on a show for the last three weeks in front of everyone. She cursed herself for being so oblivious and ignorant.

After a wait of 3 long hours, the doctor came out of the O.T . The gang rushed to ask about Mitali.

Ruhaan: Doctor, is everything alright? Is Mitali fine?

Doctor: Yeah , she's fine. She's out of danger.She has regained consciousness, though she is a little weak. One of you can visit her at a time.

The gang looked at each other. Before anyone could speak, Adi said,

Adi: Guys, can I?

Ruhaan: Yeah, sure.

Adi nodded and went inside. He found Mitali slightly opening her eyes and staring at the ceiling.He went and took a chair and sat next to her bed.

Mitali:(without looking at Adi) Where am I, champ?

Adi: Hospital.

Mitali: Thought so.These green curtains and weird machines don't really say 5-star hotel!

Adi chuckled slightly. 

Mitali: Were you crying?

Adi: How do you know? You aren't even looking at me.

Mitali:(looking at Adi) Your voice gave you away. It's shaky and quivering.

Adi: Wow!

Mitali: What?
