Lawbook & Stethoscope

Chapter 9

Rithika's pov:
"Call Rita now" Rahul said knowing clearly that it will freak me out.

After few minutes, she entered inside with her smiling face.

"Hello, Rithika" she greeted me while I smiled at her awkwardly.

"Okay let's start. Few leg movements and I will try to make you atleast stand" she said immediately wanting me to throw up in her face.

Rahul asked her to continue and that's when I felt my own salty tears sliding through my cheeks without my knowledge. They removed my iv knowing very well that I would mess up with that.

She slowly held my left leg and lifted it. I immediately sat up in the bed screaming and my right hand is tightly pressing some clothes which I don't aware of.

I looked up at Rahul with my blurred eyes and I saw the same painful look on his eyes but I hate him for making me go through all this pain. I will make him pay for all this things.

Rahul's pov:
I can't control myself from stopping Rita. Her screamings made my heart beat faster. My anger will burst up when someone test my patience level but I regret it now.

"Rita, go slow on her. She is already in pain with all her medicines" Rishi said making me thank him in my mind. She sighed.

"Guys, this is for her best. I'm not trying to hurt her but help her. She won't be able to walk in few days if I slow down and mainly it's her hip bone causing her pain so don't stop me another time both of you" she warned us.

She is my friend but that doesn't mean I will leave her freely if she hurt any patient. I made my heart as stone and continued to hold Rithika. Rishi held her from other side.

I bet she is going to faint in few minutes if she continue to scream like this. Her throat will definitely hurt.

We made her stand slowly inspite of all her protest but her grip on us tightened heavily. Her cheeks are filled with tear marks and she looked hopeless to even argue with us with anything.

"It's enough for now. Evening, we will make her stand on her own" Rita said smiling. I want to run away with her from all this shit. She left.

"So sorry Rithika, everything will be fine in few days. Don't worry" Rishi assured her while we made her lay on the bed. She didn't tell anything other than staring at the ceiling.

Soon, we both left the room. Rishi went to Shreya to explain her everything. I went to my cabin and relaxed myself.

In the afternoon, I went towards her room and saw Shreya waiting outside.

"Why are you here?" I asked her confused.

"Two cops are inside enquiring her" she said slowly. I nodded and sat beside her.

"Why are you hard on her? You know she needs the best care now" she asked me quietly fiddling with her fingers. I looked at her.

"I know that but she is adamant. She needs to know that she have someone who will scold her if she don't obey us. She don't hear our words if I'm not rude so adjust with me and don't intrude in this" I said looking at her deeply. She smiled and nodded.

"I don't know how to thank you. It's just we are lucky to get you. I didn't support her when she asked me for moving here, the unknown place but I agreed for her sake. We don't even know a single person here to help us but she somehow made everything arranged. She don't trust people easily and you know that already in your case. With all this scary thoughts, I moved here but luckily we both got you and Rishi as gifts" she whispered proudly. I patted her shoulder.

After few minutes, two men came out from the room and Shreya went inside. I went towards them for some clarification.

"Is everything solved in her case?" I asked them.

"Did you checked her head correctly? I think she has some problem in her head" he said. What the nonsense he is telling?!

"What happened?" I asked trying to control my anger.

"She said someone planned this accident to kill her. We already got that lorry driver and checked his vehicle too. He lost his break control and hitted her but she is not accepting that. She maybe a lawyer but we can't do anything. Just explain her" he said and left me confusingly.

I went inside looking at her.
