Chapter 36.

Arjun's POV:

         Have you ever felt an urge to kill someone with your bare hands? Have you ever cried for someone who means world to you? Without whom you are nothing?! I have no one to call mine apart from her! She is the sweet and great thing that happened to me ever in my life.

            I don't know how I lived all those years without her before her arrival. Now thinking my world without her beside me is leading me nowhere but to think that death will be the only option which I will have then...

              There are days when my own people betrayed me. The people I called mine.As they say you always get hurt by people who are close to you.. that's  true in my case. First Madhu, then Maya...

                 My pain can't be erased nor can anyone understand. Why will they? To the world Iam always a bad guy... A bad person who has hurt Aru. Who didn't cared about her feelings. Who is cruel enough to blame her for the thing she never did.....

                 But anyone has ever thought what Iam going through seeing her breaking down.? No! No one can think. The pain I went through when she badly craved for my embrace. Seeing her crying all night just because I was away from her. Faking a breakup with my most loved person.... A person who wanted me knowing all my imperfections.

             My thoughts got interrupted when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Iam in Aranya's private ward in which she was shifted after two hours of her treatment. It's her brother. He and my sister came just an hour back with my in-laws. My sister is outside. I looked at Neerav and he gave me a small smile. I returned it.

            It's 10:00 P.M now so he suggested we should have some tea. I tried to say no but mom said she will be with Aru when we are out. I agreed reluctantly. When we came outside of the hospital along with my sister we saw a tea stall nearby.

             We three sat there and then at the radio some Bollywood romantic songs are playing. Looks like everyone wants me to remind the things I did to her. I heaved a big sigh and drank my tea fast.

          As we completed I again went to her ward and kept my hand on her's the whole night before slipping to our own world where there will be no one apart from us. No one who can take her away from me... No one who can come close to us....

_____THE TIME SKIPPED  ___ AFTER TWO DAYS________

          Today is the day when the doctor said she will open her eyes. The past two days are anything but peaceful for me.

        I haven't slept nor eaten anything properly from the past two days. The culprits haven't found yet and that's making my anger worse. The filthy bastard used more of his brain to not get caught. It's already evening and Iam losing my hopes of her getting up.

       I was leaving from her ward when I saw the system connected to her is beeping loud enough to grab my attention. She started shaking her head and I rushed to doctor. Aru's parents, my parents and Neerav and Shri went near her ward but I stayed back in the corridor outside of her room.  Doctor  checked her and came out of the room.

            "She is up!" He said as he sat beside me in the bench. "What happened young man? You have waited these two days like a mad man and now you are not going in? She is searching for someone in those many people. I know that someone is you. Go and talk to her.!" He said and tried to get up slowly as he old.

         I watched as the old man walked away. After sometime they all came back and Neerav came patted my back and told that she wants to meet me. Panic arose in me. How can I meet her after all this? I promised her that no one will touch her but I failed.....

       With heavy heart and slow steps I walked inside her room and saw her looking at entrance with her big doe shaped eyes.

          I stood at the entrance as our eyes locked. With locking my eyes with her I slowly took steps towards her. As I went near her I observed her face which is pale and bruised. She looked at me and smiled showing her perfect set of teeth.

          How can anyone be so cruel to even think about taking her life. I sat down slowly on the stool beside her bed. " I wanted you to be the first one to see when I woke up." She said and I looked at her with guilt.

             "Are you ok?" I asked her " I wasn't before 2mins... But now Iam"  she said and  gave me a smile. "Iam sorry.. I should have dropped you... It's all my mistake that you are laying in hospital like this I-" "shhh just clam down Arjun.. it isnt your mistake ok? If not like this then in any other way they would have tried to hurt me. And .... It's a good thing I guess.... Mom said that you never stepped away from me. I am glad that you are here with me." She said as tears brimmed her eyes....

        " How can I leave you? You are my other half, my love and my everything. When you are laying there with blood and all I felt like Iam dying! You are all I have! You are the only one whom I can call as mine ... Promise me you won't leave me ever." I said with determination.

"I promise Arjun. I promise I-" "Sir doctor said that he wants to talk to you something." Cutting us off a nurse came and I looked at Aru. She sighed and motioned me to go. I nodded and left to meet the doctor.
