TILL I MET YOU

chapter 51

Khushi is left hanging to her dear life with her hands as she hangs on to the railing with her hands already slipping…arnav runs to khushi’s aid and is able to hold her as she hang on, though he isn’t able to pull her up…sham takes a log of wood and sneaks behind arnav and before khushi can warn him, sham mercilessly hits him with it and arnav is forced to let go of khushi as he falls back and once again khushi is left fighting for her dear life all by herself. Sham runs off almost sure his work is done…

Anjali is walking up towards khushi when she spots sham in a hurry…she hides herself behind a pillar before he can spot her…khushi can feel her hands slipping from the edge and she is slowly starting to lose grip…arnav is able to recover just to catch her in time…even though he doesn’t have enough strength to pull her up, using all his strength he holds on to her once more not willing to let go of her…till anjali comes to their aid and is able to help him pull khushi up, putting her out of that life threatening situation…

Khushi can feel her heart race as her chest tightens…arnav tries to ask her if she is okay but all she can see is his mouth moving but isn’t able to make out what he is saying, right now all she can hear are odd voices that seem to fade away, her vision starts to become blurry and before she knows her world is engulfed in darkness…

A while later…anjali stares at his stubborn brother who is seated adamant as he refused to be tended to, at least not until it was confirmed khushi was okay

ANJALI; chote at least let them have your wound checked, the bleeding might have stopped but that doesn’t mean you are fine, have them check you

Arnav stands from the seat and walks to a corner frustrated at anjali’s constant nagging, why can’t she understand that till he knows for sure that his wife is fine he won’t be settled…yes his head is throbbing erratically but that pan is nothing compared to the pain he is feeling right now…

After what seems like ages to arnav the doctor finally comes out to talk to them…and arnav anjali walk towards him

DOCTOR; May I know how you are related to the patient

ARNAV; am her husband, how is she? Is something wrong with her? Is she

DOCTOR; I will answer all your questions one at time sir, your wife will gain consciousness in an hour more, I can’t tell for sure, but there is nothing to be worried about…based on the series of tests we conducted on her, your wife is pregnant sir

AMAN; arnav…(he calls out and arnav shifts his gaze from khushi who hasn’t woken up yet)

AMAN; what is wrong with khushi??

ARNAV; that shouldn’t be the priority on the top of your list right now, tell me what I need to know aman

AMAN; have I ever told you how much I love you

ARNAV; aman !!!

AMAN; before I say what am about to say at least promise me you won’t get mad at me

ARNAV; will you quit the act

AMAN; the thing is that, actually, supposedly

ARNAV; will you spit it out already aman

AMAN; the police is unable to locate sham’s location

ARNAV; so what you’re trying to tell me is that sham is still roaming around after trying to literally kill my wife

AMAN; yes but

ARNAV; but what??

AMAN; arnav calm down

ARNAV; how can you expect me to be calm, after everything that has happened, I asked the police to do one job and they fail, well if you want something done, do it yourself…here have these documents…(he says as he hands them over to aman)
