Another Chance Of Love

She's fine

Anirudh P.O.V

It has been almost 45 minutes since they brought her into the ICU but there's no any information about how she is from the doctors.Is she fine or not? That was the only question which is on my mind now.AlI my family members are here including my besties Dhanush and Siva. I dont know why everyone in my family is too worried about her.The tension feeling of them can be seen on their faces. This makes me to think more about her. Who is she? How is she related to my family?I dont remember seeing her before in any family functions of mine.If she was related to me, I would have seen her in my wedding. Most importantly, why am I getting the memories of Nithya when this girl is beside me?

All these questions were hovering my mind like an alveolus surrounded by blood cappilaries.I didn‘t even though of asking my parents about her because of this. Few minutes passed and the doctor came out from the ICU. I was hoping for good words from him.

"She's perfectly alright now.Thank god we got to safe her. There was alot of blood loss but we managed to find 'A positive'blood on time".

Wait,what!!Is her blood group A positive?Why is this girl freaking me out? She shares the same blood group with Nithya. Why are there many similarities between them or am I over imagining?

"You'll can go see her now but don't disturb the patient".

I am feeling a bit relived now. Doctor told us that we can go and see her.Everyone except Dhanush and Siva entered the ward to see her but I didn't.I don't know why but I have a mixed feeling now. I feel guilty to see her but at the same time something is urging me to just look at her for ones. After a few minutes, my parents and Ashy came out of the ward.

"Shall we leave now?"asked my father.

"Appa... Can I see her?"

My parents gave me a shocked look. What? I was just asking ifI could see her or not? Did I asked something wrong?

"Ani... What did you asked me?"

"Pa.. Can I see her?"

"Why not da.. Go in Ani boy.. Go see her.." "Thanks ma.."

I thanked my mom and entered into the ward..

Lakshmi P. O. V

"He wanted to see her Ravi. Its surprisingA few hours ago, Ani boy wanted to slap her for pushing the knife away. I thought that he is going to hate her for the rest of his life. But he wanted to see her".

"I feel the same Lakshmi. But whatever it is, we really have to thank her for saving our son's life. I cant imagine what would have happened to Ani if she didn't push that knife away".

"Don't worry Ravi. Everything is going to be fine".

Anirudh P. O. V

I entered the ward and saw her lying down on the bed. She was unconscious. Her hand was covered with bandage and there were blood stain on it..I went near her and touched her hand. I really feel bad for what I have done. Its because of me why she's in this situationJ was about to leave the room but stopped after hearing.

"Why did you do that?"

I turned and looked at her. She was looking straight into my eyes and she repeated her question.

"Why did you do that? Didn't you think about your family before taking that decision?"

She sounded so stern. I didn't utter a word.All I wanted to say was sorry. But I wanted to ask her something before that.

"Why did you safe me?"

She gave me a terrific look that I was about to laugh but I controlled it.

"Are you serious?I risked my life just to safe you and all you could ask me is why I safed you?"

"No I mean...I dont know who you are and how you're related to me.So what was the necessary for you to safe me".

"Mr. Anirudh,I cant be just watching someone dying infront of me"...

I kept quiet for a minute and there was complete silence in the room

"Im sorry. Its because of me why you're here In this situation..Im so sorry..And thank you for saving me.. I was too depressed at that moment that I could not think of anything else except for my Nithya"..

She was just silently looking at me when I was talking.

"Im sorry"..

"You've told it many times". I smiled at her "Sorry can I ask you something?“.

"Go on.."

"How are you related to me?".

"Im not related to you but Im related to your sister. Im Ashy's friend.."

"You're Ashy's friend?But I didn't see you before with Ashy.."

"You wouldn't have seen me before because I just arrived to India. I am her childhood friend and I was living in London after finishing my lst grade in here.." '

"You 'was' living in London?"'. "Yup. I moved in to India last month." '

"Oh.. Okay. And if you don't mind,may I know your name?"'.

"Really? You've been talking to me for the past 10 minutes without knowing my name?"

"The truth is Yes. I was too panic that I forget to ask about you from my family."

An "Oh" escaped from her mouth. "Your name?"

"I'm Anika..."

"Anika. Im so sorry for what had happened today";

"Its ok Anirudh.What had happend is over. Do not think over things which is over. I know it will be difiicult for you to come out from your Wife's death but you have to try. Your family is looking up to you. Dont ever dissapoint them by jumping into bad decisions..They really need you by their side now.

I didnt say that you should forget her but Im just asking you to except that she is no more. Dont you worry. Eventhough she is no more, she will guide

you in your life. She'll always remain as a sweet memory of yours."

Her words were so pure and true. She's rite. Nithya is always with me. She's living in me. But I have to admit something. Anika is so similar to Nithya.
