Ms. Detective (I) {under construction}

56. Regret and the goodbye

"He isn't waking up.... I think he's really traumatized." The doctor says to Shalini while I was standing a bit far.

"Rudra" I gasped watching him lay like that.

"I'm sorry..." Vikram's voice was sad.

Shalini gives him a glare and walks out of the room.

"Shalini listen" Vikram's follows her and I followed them.

"Stay away Vikram" she says while walking faster in the lobby, to avoid him.

"Shalini please!!" He stands in front of her, in the lobby.

"What?"

"I'm sorry.... I didn't know how much this will effect him."

"Shouldn't you have asked me?" She scolds. "He's my patient!! Isn't it a common sense to ask me first?" She was angry.

We three were standing in the lobby of the hospital. People passing by, definitely wondered about the chaos. Although there wasn't enough of people in the lobby to call it crowd so no one really bothered to stop by.

"He was handling everything on his own by now!! He saw his best friend die and other going to jail for betraying him. He even saw his Dad's death!! He saw the death of the villain of his life and he was alright. How can you expect me to think that this situation might occur?" He says shaking her shoulder. He was at the urge of crying.

"That's why you should have been extremely careful!" She cries hanging her head low. "He's in shock. Even his subconsciousness do not know how to react. He might not be able to wake up even!!!" She cries.

"What?" I was stunned. Both of them look at me. "He might not..... What?"

"Trisha please get yourself together. Rudra needs you. He only has you. Talk to him. Try to console him."

How did we end up here? I hated to cry before I met him but today, I want to cry louder with him. I want him to cry. I want us to console each other.

"Don't hate me...." I heard a murmur.

"Rudra!!" He was standing behind me as soon as we turned.

He was wearing the hospital gown. His eyes were baggy and red and serious. His face was expressionless. Although weakly but he was standing with a glare at us.

"Rudra.." I gasped.

"........" He was expressionless.

"Are you okay?" Shalini asks.

"......." He takes his steps back.

"Rudra!!" Vikram speaks.

"......." He again takes his steps back.

"Heyy!!!" I tried to cup his face but he takes further steps back.

"......." He faints the next moment.

"What just happened?" I asked the doctors who attaching him again with the equipments.

"Trisha" Shalini dragged me out of the room.

"What is it Shalini? Why is he behaving like that?"

"Trisha.... To be honest... I think you need to be ready for the worst."

"What the fuck does that supposed to mean?" I was upset.

But she didn't answer so I left, frustrated.

It was evening and I was sitting outside the room thinking about everything that lead us to end up here. And then I saw someone standing in front of me.
