10. Nothing But The Truth! -II

Siddhant's POV Contd.

I froze.

I stood still. That was a disturbing scene. My senses were not working. I had become a maniac.
I cried and cried. But I was surprised, that I couldn't take a step forward. I can see Abhay  and my father calling me continuosly but I couldn't hear a single word. Except my eyes my whole body became numb.
She couldn't leave me,this soon. This was so mean of her. She promised ,vowed to stay with me for whole seven births. I was lost in several thoughts.

Snap!
A sudden jerk on my hand and I was snapped out of my thoughts,only to shout and run towards Avyakta.
Her body drenched in a pool of blood. I was dumbstruck. It was also a small word to describe my situation.
My breath hitched when she was taken into an ambulance. I walked and sat inside hurriedly.
I held her hand and touched the wounds on her head, on her hands, everywhere. Her head was badly hit. Her oversized kurti intricated with beautiful designs and colours,was now drenched in the colour of blood. Hereyes and mouth that had evidences of the incident took place with her,were shut.
I knew my father was constantly consoling me and Abhay, I didn't know when did he come here. But all I could see my wife, badly hurt in an accident. Our car's window and most of the things were badly hit. Broken, disgustly.

My Avyakta.
Just because of me I had to see her in this condition. This was unbelievable. I saw her. Taking a last glance, she was taken inside ICU away from me. I didn't had care of me.
I was mad. I fell down on my knees on the ground. I wanted her back at any cost. 
But, what about our baby?? Where was it? I ran to get a glimpse of her again but was stopped by my father to take a step further.

Moreover, The rage that was buildling inside me was enough to burn any human. I knew whom I was referring to.
Shekhawat and his men.
They were dead. Dead at any cost.

My family and Avyakta's family reached the hospital. She wasn't getting up. It was around 3 months. The weather outside was changed from the winter to summer,still,no budge from her side.
The time we waited for was not coming. We all wanted her to get up but that shocked me to the core when doctor told us that, Avyakta may get up or may die. No...No... life can't be so mean to me, to Avyakta!
People would come and go, consoling me with their words but nothing worked out. Avyakta's condition remained unknown to our other relatives,thinking that when time will come,will tell.
I was myself about to go in depression if Avyakta had not opened her eyes and reacted that day. But her words, after many months left me completely distorted and gobsmacked. She couldn't recognise me. Her own husband!
The austerity of 3 months went all ruined, for me.
Maybe, if everything would have been fine, she would have laid on bed but happily with a small baby of ours, who didn't have any existence now. That baby of ours was stated dead during the initial days of her admission in hospital after her accident. Only, my family knows the agonizing and heart rending period of my life. The day I heard it, it felt with what face would I go to Avyakta to tell her that our baby was lost. We lost it.
I still remember the day,she told me gaily,about her mother instincts but it got all ruined...just because of me.

After, hearing about, how Avyakta failed to even recognise me, failed to
accept my touch. I sat down cursing this wrecked world and this pitilless,merciless world. Shekhawat's meeting with me,popped in my mind after taking a glance of Avyakta.

"She...Shekhawat!!"

"Shh...
Mr. Siddhant, Quiet!"
He whispered with his disgusting voice, panged in my ear. I couldn't stay like that I,wanted to hold him,get him behind the bars.
