An AKSHAN Story- His revenge, Her love

Chapter 4

Guddan entered the hospital and the memories of the incident that happened few days ago were flashing infront of her eyes. It was like it's again happening in front of her and she is unable to control it. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to relax herself. She moved further to her cabin and received warm welcome and wishes on her way by the hospital staff.

She opened the door of her cabin only to find someone sitting on the chair present opposite to hers. She couldn't see the person as the chair's back was facing her.

"Good Morning, Dr. Guddan."
She very well recognised the voice and without hesitating she settled herself on her chair.

Guddan: Good morning, Dr. Kabir!

She greeted him warmly.

Kabir: Congratulations for your wedding. It was really the exact replica of your dream wedding.

Guddan: Shuru ho gaye tum.

Kabir: Abhi maine kuchh kaha hi nahi. Waise I know, your husband is so romantic isiliye Dr. Guddan aaj pehli baar hospital ke liye late huyi hai.

Guddan: Stop speaking Rubbish!

Kabir: Tumhe to bas Akshat ki baatein achhi lagti hai. Mai baat karun to rubbish! How was your wedding night?? Kya gift diya usne tumhe?

Guddan: Aur kya hi de sakte hai wo? Ilzaam, beizzati, zillat, nafrat.

Kabir: Koi baat nahi lekin ye batao ki tumne use return gift diya ya nahi.

She looked at him questioning through her eyes.

Kabir: Nahi diya na tumne. I knew it! Isiliye maine hi unke liye gift ka intezaam kar diya hai. (Handing her a file) Antara Di ke reports. Ye lo aur ja kar us Akshat Jindal ke muh par phenk dena. How dare he, to blame you for your own sister's death??

She took the file and opened it with shivering hands. A mere look on the printed papers made the way for tears out from her eyes.

Kabir: I know Guddan ki tum kaisa feel kar rahi ho but Akshat ko sach batana zaroori hai. He has the right to know ki Di ki death ka asli reason kya hai.

Guddan: Mai unhe sach nahi bata sakti.

Kabir: Lekin kyun Guddan?? Tum Akshat ko sach nahi bata kar apni zindagi barbaad kar rahi ho. Aur mai tumhe aise nahi dekh sakta.

Guddan: Mujhe meri zindagi ki koi parwaah nahi hai. I don't care Akshat mere saath kaise behave kare ya wo mere baare me kya soche lekin mai unhe sach nahi bata sakti. And moreover, maine Di se bhi promise kiya tha ki mai Akshat ko kabhi sach nahi bataungi.

Kabir: Hell with the promise!!

He stood up with a jolt banging on the table.

Kabir: Give me a damn reason other than that promise!!

Guddan: Stop it Kabir! There is nothing else other than that promise.

Kabir: Just for a damn promise tum apni life barbaad karogi. Agar Di ko pata hota ki unke is ek promise ke wajah se unki apni behen ki zindagi barbaad ho jayegi to wo kabhi tumse ye promise nahi leti.

Guddan: I don't care about anything. Just nothing!!

Kabir: Lekin mai jaanta hun ki tum aisa kyun kar rahi ho.

She looked into his eyes trying to understand what he is thinking.

Kabir: Just because you love him.

She averted her gaze from him and drank a whole glass of water in a go.

Kabir: Ab nazrein kyun chura rahi ho. Sach kaha na maine. That's the only reason. Right?
