Chapter 21

Chapter 20

People say history repeats itself and probably that was what was happening with him, in his life. He sat on the tool almost paralysed, he wanted to go and try everything , every way that he knew... But he was not able to move. He didn't knew what was happening behind his back. There was commotion , nurses were shouting , were calling him , the door was getting opened and closed. He could hear all this , but what echoed inside his mind was his voice

"Maa... Maa... you have to get up.. maa open your eyes.. look at me.. you cant leave me... Maa..."

And that horrible deadline "Beep" sound. He tightly shut his eyes and tried to get rid of those images , and tried to fight with himself, but as soon as he closed his eyes , the old memories came rushing to him. He was breathing hard and was sweating continuously. He opened his eyes , and knew he needed to divert his mind, coz until did it , until he overpowered it , he would not be able to do anything. He started breathing faster and deeper , clutched the sides of the tool along with his apron , and tried to calm himself down. Clutching the sides he felt the paper ruffle inside his pocket and he remembered Khushi saying

"Mere pocket mein tumhare liye kuch hai..."

He looked at her and she nodded and he slowly slid his hand inside her pocket and brought out the folded paper and out it inside his apron's pocket.

He knew that it was not the right time , but then he needed to divert himself and so he without wasting anymore time , slid his hand inside his pocket , and he pulled the paper out. He looked at the white folded paper and that's when he heard somebody saying

"She is sinking.. we have to do something..."

He without wasting anymore time opened the letter and looked at the full scribbled page.

Arnav I don't know what will be the situation, when you will be reading this, so let me say in advance that , I wanted to say all this to you since long , but after tonight's event, I couldn't control myself anymore.

People say that love' is pure , love is blind, love is fair , love is unfair, love enhances oneself or love spoils oneself, but I have not experienced anything ! My feelings have not been changed nor am I . I am still the same girl who cries after watching any sad ending love story , who cracks silly jokes and tries to make everyone laugh over it even in the toughest situation , who still desire to become one among India's top lawyers, but who is still dying and perhaps would be dead by the time you will be reading this.

But I must say , that , there is something that ensures an immense contentment inside me, that will help me to die peacefully and will also create a desire to live. I am not mad in love, but that I love somebody madly and that somebody is none other than you, Dr. Arnav Singh Raizada.

Its not that I am never sad or negativities don't shoot me because I am in love... Its not that I don't give a damn to this world or to my desire because I am in love... its not that I am not affected by the jeers of this world , but its just that I have a very very special person on this planet , after talking to whom all my pains are sublimated, I become abnormally good and satisfied. My life has been touched to the core, and there is a big difference in me which only I can realize.

In this short span of 1 month , I have lived an experience , an experience of a lifetime, the kiss , the date , the way you fulfilled every silly wish of mine , were complete bliss for me. I desire to live , to live with you , but... there's always this but in between. But fortunately or unfortunately it will perhaps not get fulfilled, so I just wanted to say that I am in love , I' am in love with U' and I will love you forever.

                                                                                    Yours Khushi

P.S - Yes , I have written it Dr. Arnav , but Khushi has said each and every word from her heart and I wanted to do this last favour to her. And you need to save my friend at any cost.

                                                                                                          - Aakash

Tears started rolling down from his eyes , when he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned his face and looked at Payal. Payal composing herself said

"Sir... Khushi needs you... she is a fighter... and she is still fighting.. I don't know why you are sitting her... and I even don't wanna know.. par sir... Arnav' needs to go there and save his Khushi... she needs him.. please get up and go ... You need to save her.. you have to save her..."

Arnav looked at her for few seconds and Khushi's face came infront of his eyes, her smiling , her blushing, her sleeping , and he slowly put the letter into his pocket and stood up and looking back at payal said

"You are right , Arnav needs to be there.. beside his Khushi... He cant loose another loved one..."

And he robbed his eyes and rushed towards the bed.

He looked at the screen and saw that still there were few minutes left , for him to loose her permanently, and he without wasting anymore time , took the liquid , put it inside the syringe and injected it in her hand and started pumping her heart and continued doing it till the heartrate slowly started rising.

Payal stood at the other side of the bed and looked at Arnav , she saw the desperate side of him, she saw how he was not leaving a single second and soon she witnessed the miracle happening , the rate going up and after 10 continuous tough minutes the heartrate returned to normal. That's  when he stopped and started breathing deeply.

Arnav looked at Khushi's face and then at the screen showing the heartrate which was now back to normal and smiled the smile of victory, and closed his eyes and said to himself

"Maa... I saved her..."

He then looked at Payal , and Payal wiped her eyes and smiled a big bright smile opening her mask and said

"Congratulation Sir... operation successful hua... Khatre ka period over hogaya.. and the treatment worked... Now Khushi will be totally fine.."

Arnav nodded and removing his mask said

"Thanks Payal... if you would have not come in the right time.. then I would have..."

"Sir you are most welcome... now lets go out.. and give her family the good nerws..."

He nodded and both of them went out of OT.
