Beyond His Grey Eyes

CHAPTER SEVENTY : STAY WITH ME

I peeped in to look at him. He opened the door furiously and entered inside. His footsteps sounded deadly.

"What happened to Esha? Where is she?" he asked looking at Zayd. Zayd just tapped on his shoulder and said, "She is inside"

Aadhvik gaze now turned towards my parents. My mom to be precise. My mom was never less than him. She was furious too.

"How did this happen to her Ruhi?" He asked with his gaze still pointed towards my mom.

"Acc - Acci - Accident!" I said stammering.

"I asked How?" He made his point clear.

"She was hit by a car!" I said not looking at him. His eyes was furious with anger.

"Ruhi I said TELL IT TO ME CLEARLY HOW?" he banged the table beside.

"Aadhvik, calm down." His sister tried calming him down.

"I will tell how Aadhvik." My dad stood up.

"Uncle, please what happened?" He sounded calm to my dad apparently.

"I hit Esha." my dad said.

"WHAT? UNCLE YOU?"

Everyone's gaze was directed towards my dad. Dua windend her eyes and stood up. Zayd had no clue and Aadhvik couldn't believe what he heard.

"She was fighting with my mom for something and...and I don't know she came out of nowhere. She didn't see my dad's car coming and eventually... eventually. It was an accident Aadhvik. My dad didn't do anything." I explained.

"Accident? An accident? Seriously Ruhi." His gaze is now on my mom. What is he gonna tell more. Oh no! "After she is back, I am taking her back with me. She is gonna come with me. I am not sending her with anyone, anymore."

"How can I let my daughter with you
She won't come. I cannot leave her with you." My mom spoke back.

"JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT ESHA WAS SAFE WITH ME."

"What can I do if she started walking with her gaze backward? How will Varnav know that she was comimg or how will I know that Varnav car is coming. How is me and Varnav responsible for this?" My mom defended herself.

"You know what Aunty, I was not always around Esha. But I made sure she doesn't do these stupidness. I made her realise. She knows Aadhvik will scold her if she doesn't wear seat belt while driving. She knows Aadhvik will scold if she walks with her gaze backward. She knows that I will scold her if she drives faster. And she started wearing seat belts and started driving slowly without realizing it herself. I made her do that. I did." Aadhvik finished off. Those words just brought tears onto my eyes. The first time when Esha came home I noticed a very big change within her. A change that she herself didn't realise. Oh My Esha!

We all stopped when the door opened. Yes the door inside which they took Esha. A man stepped out. He was the doctor I guess.

"Varun? Zayd? Aadhvik? Ehan? Why are you all here? Do you know her?" The doctor asked.

"She is my wife Mr.Batra." Aadhvik said.

"Ohh! She is doing good. But....I mean she is alive. There is nothing risky." Mr. Batra was definitely hiding something. My parents were too happy. But Aadhvik wasn't!

"Alive? I simply don't want her to be alive with a heart beating. I want her to speak. I want her to run and walk! What do you mean by she is simply Alive?" Aadhvik asked.

"She would be good. She will talk. She will walk." Mr. Batra said.

"When?" Aadhvik's next question popped up.
