A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 109

Rohit was stunned.

No, no! God!!

He composed his voice enough to speak.

'What?!?'

'I'm sorry, it sounds shocking, but it is a big possibility, and I can't not warn you.'

Rohit blinked back sudden tears.

'Uhm..thankyou doctor. I appreciate it..I'll go now?'

'Yes! Please take care of yourself and continue with that physiotherapy.'

Rohit nodded, not trusting his voice anymore.

He left the hospital, not even looking to see if Sonakshi was around.

It was only after he had reached the confines of his room, that he broke down.

He picked up the bedside lamp and threw it across the room, shattering glass.

'NO!!!!'

He screamed at no one.

Kyun? Oh, God, why?? Just when I thought things were going to be alright..iss bojh ko kaise le kar chalunga?

He rubbed his wet eyes with the heels of his hands.

Sona!!
How can I put her through this? Kya woh yeh bardaasht kar paye gi?

He thought back to the time of her miscarriage.
How she had thought it had been her fault, how he had thought it had been his.
They had both wanted children in the future, if not so soon.
But now, it seemed that was not to be.

Yeh sab jaan ke Sona kaise react karegi? Kya woh yeh sab bhi deserve karti hai? A future, with no children of our own?

Oh God! I am just so confused now. Kis mun se Sona ke paas ja ke bolunga ke wapas aajaye mere paas? Aadhay adhuray Rohit ko accept karegi?

*****

Sonakshi sat in her cabin, having delayed her clinic for an hour.
She had needed time to think.

Ever since she had heard Dr. Malhotra's words, she had been in shock.

Poor Rohit! Us ko kitna bura lag raha hoga na. Mein shock mein hun, to woh bhi to hoga. Hum dono hi future mein bachay chahte thay..
But kisi ki zindagi se barh kar thori..shukar hai ab Rohit better hota ja raha hai.

Ab mujhe lene aayega na, to mil ke dukh baant lenge...hal bhi dhoond lenge..please Rohit, jaldi ajao..I'm waiting.

*******

Over the next few days, Rohit's progress slowed down.

Mohit was surprised, since Rohit had been pushing himself extra in the past few weeks.

'Rohit! Kya hua? You aren't even listening to me. Idhar taang rakho..do it..'

Rohit wasn't concentrating well.
All he could think of was how that earth shattering news could affect Sonakshi.

'Rohit! Mein kuch bol raha hun..idhar dekho. Yeh, put this foot down, now this.'

After a while, Rohit gave up.

'I'm sorry, Mohit! Mujhe nahin lagta mein or kar paunga aaj..tum please..aaj nahin..'

'But, Rohit..'

'I'm sorry..I'm just not in the frame of mind right now..'

'Okay, okay, relax..I'll go..'

Mohit left, leaving Rohit alone.
