Chapter Six

"I DON'T KNOW OKAY-- I DON'T KNOW!!" Arnav screamed, his eyes were screaming of his agitation and uneasiness.

Anjali's heart broke on witnessing the look on her brother's face, what had they ever done to deserve this, she wondered and wondered in vain.

"It's okay chotte, calm down." Anjali whispered in his ear soothingly.

Arnav sighed, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap at you like that. Its so weird." He said in a small voice.

Anjali held his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Everything is going to be okay."

"From the moment I've woken up in the hospital after my accident I haven't been able to live. I keep looking for someone, expected someone to show up and-- and complete me. I don't know what is happening, or why it is happening but I feel like I have left a part of myself behind, as if not three years but a part of my life and a very important part for that matter is lost." Arnav confessed, pouring all his emotions in front of his sister. 

Anjali bit back a sob, her eyes filled with tears ready to roll down her cheeks.

"I know you must think I'm crazy, maybe I am but.. I don't know how to explain myself." Arnav said.

"You know what's even worse?" Arnav asked rhetorically "I can't even explain what is happening to me to my own self because it doesn't make any sense."

"Of course it makes sense Arnav. Everything does. Your emotions are real and they make perfect sense. I wish I could help you. I wish there was a way to rid you of your pain without causing you the same. I'm so sorry." Anjali said sadly

"You can. You just have to tell me about these three years that have passed. I want to know--to remember." Arnav almost pleaded with Anjali.

"I can't tell you anything chotte. The doctors have strictly warned against stressing you." Anjali said in a small voice.

Arnav closed his eyes, "I can tell, that even you don't want to obey the doctors." 

"Only if we had a choice. Disregarding their words and losing you is not an option for us." Anjali said 

"You're overreacting, you're not going to lose me for something so petty." Arnav said while smiling softly

"Can you say that for sure?" Anjali asked "Can you assure us that telling you everything will not harm you in any way?"

"You were in a coma for forty-eight hours, and the doctors weren't even sure you'll pull through. I don't want to go through anything like that again. I don't think you understand just how much you mean to us. Saans atki hai hum sabki tumhaare andar, samajh rahe ho? Tumhe kucch ho, isse pehle-- (All of our lives is stuck in yours, Before something happens to you--)

Arnav pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry. I won't ask you anything." He mumbled into her hair.

Anjali pulled away. 

"So what did Khushi name her princess?" Arnav asked

"She didn't."

Arnav frowned. "Why?"

"Because she wanted you to be the one to do it." Anjali said nonchalantly, as Arnav stared with his eyes widened slightly.

"But--"

"She's stubborn. She won't budge. She wants you down there." Anjali said with a careless shrug.

Arnav sighed, his lips curling into a smile. "Fine. What should I wear?"
