She saw a girl at the shore. The water crashing the shore. She smiled at the beauty of sunset sitting there. Admiring the beauty of her love with her love. A boy walked down the way same time. She stood and ran to him. Into his hands with fonding. Lovers they may be. Her eyes shone like stars when she looked at his. That shine turned frown as soon as she looked.
"What happened?", She asked still hugging the boy.
He started feeling uncomfortable in the embrace. He struggled to loosen up and set free of hug.
"Nothing.", He said trying to make a sentence but failing miserably.
The girl understood his situation and walked a little back. Now they are facing one another. Close enough to whisper words. But far enough to touch or hug or kiss.
He stared at her like he wants to ask her something. Something important. He was confused of what is going on.
"Tell me Jeet. What's happening? What are you struggling at?", she asked. Her voice a little hurt but still filled with a lots of love and fondness towards him.
"Nothing...", he sighed again and continued "Don't take me wrong, but why did you hug me?"
She was shocked. He is the one who likes being cosy with her everytime. Whispering sweet nothings, making her blush crimson everytime they were close. Nothing has changed. What happened now.
"You like it when I hug you. You said that na Jeet. And what's wrong in that. You love me and I love you.", she answered his question. She was now completely hurt.
"How do you know my name? When did we love? Who are you?" he asked this time shattering her heart.
"You.. you don't know.. you don't know me??", she stuttered as she stepped a several steps back not understanding what's happening.
"No", he said with no emotion in his voice nor in his eyes.
------------------------------------------------------;---------
Someone started to shake me. "Sia.. Sia..", they called me slowly. I woke up to see a familiar face.
"Sia, I think you need to have a little right sleep. You are so weak. And the doctor said the same.", Ved said.
"No Ved. I can't.", I protested.
"You must Sia. Let's get home. I need some sleep too. Veds and Manyu are also coming with us. Uncle and Aunt are here to see with Jay. Until we are back.", he said.
It's almost 5 in the morning. Still dark but not night. I think I need to agree with what Ved is speaking. I am really weak. But I want to stay.
"May be I'll stay Ved. I slept good already. I'm fine." I said.
"Atleast let's go and freshen up and come back in an hour. We need to go out of this environment. It makes no sense doing nothing here except for stressing ourselves more.", He said.
That is actually truth what he said. Hospital is the last place I would ever prefer to stay. But in a different situation. Now this is where I feel I need to be. But a little change doesn't hurt me anymore. An hour out can be refreshing. Although there is still time for the doctor to come and check Jay again.
"Okay." I said and walked along with them. Veds, Manyu looked so sad and weak with tear stained faces and bulged eyes. I felt sorry for them too.
No one spoke during the little ride home. I stared out of the window. Little dim light starting to crack up in the sky. My thoughts ran a marathon from one scenario to other. Nothing making any sense. And then the dream I had just before Ved woke me up. It felt so real than a dream. Like I could feel the emotion of that girl. What does that mean? How must it feel to be said that someone you love dearly doesn't know you?
After nearly two hours, we are back at the hospital. I had another little nap in those two hours after freshening up. It actually made me feel a little better. Like 5%. But still counts.
Doctor was due in an hour for checking Jay. We brought food to others and asked them to go home if they wanted to. No one actually need that now. Praying for Jay to be safe is everyone's priority.
The doctor came and checked on Jay. I wanted to look at him. I walked up to the glass door but the doctor denied. "No one should enter ICU now.", he said firmly.
After nearly twenty sickening minutes, he came back to us waiting in the corridor. His face devoid of any emotion. Straight but pale.
"How is he? He is alright right?", Jay's father asked the doctor. We all stood up to him to hear what he is going to tell. My hands and legs shaking like something bad is going to happen.
I hold Veds. She stood beside me for support.
"I have a good news and also a bad news to tell you Mr. Dixit." he said calm and clear.
Good news and Bad news. No. I don't want to listen any bad happening with Jay. My body shaking more hardly than before. Panic ran down my spine.
"What's that doctor? You are scaring us. ", my father and mother asked at a time.
"Sorry for that Mr. Raman. But I have to tell you this. The good news is that Jay is out of danger. He is good and recovering. He is responding to the treatment well and that's a good sign considering the situation he was brought in.", the doctor spoke. His tone is positive and assuring.
"Then what's the bad news doctor?", Manyu asked from beside Vedika.
The doctor's expression changed to a sad one instantly. His look so calculative. Like considering how to break the bad news to us without tearing us.
"I'm sorry to tell you this. This is not permanent but he...", He stuttered looking at me and gave me a sad sympathetic look."He has got a little amnesia.", he spoke.
We looked at him with blank expression. Waiting for him to explain that he got it wrong. Or to tell us what he actually meant.
"He lost a part of his memory."he said breaking the door to hell.
