UNSPOKEN LOVE

CHAPTER 47

Arnav was sitting in his cabin staring at the screen of his laptop mindlessly as all his mind was occupied by just one girl. Khushi!!! Something he thinks why does that one girl matter to him so much? She is nothing to him. Well that was his mind was forcing him to believe but his heart had a different opinion. Why her one smile matters to him? Why her anger and dull mood matters?

Almost entire day has passed thinking what could give her those little smiles. He took his phone which was kept on his table and looked at her name in his phone. How she didn't picked up his phone when he called her for the first time just because she doesn't anwer unknown numbers. A smile appeared on his lips remembering those little -little fights but he failed to realized how deeper his words had hurt her. she still remember every word he uttered which makes him hit himself with something. He let out a frustrated groan and kept his phone aside.

He tried to resume his ork but then an idea popped his mind. He quickly ook his phone again and called Aman. A smile appeared on his lips as he ended the call. Hope this time his effort could work.

Although he wanted to keep his schedule clear but an urgent meeting popped up which consumed more than his 3 hours. Once it ended, he rushed to his cabin where he Aman had already kept the thing his boss had asked for. Wrapped in blue gift wrapping paper lays his effort to sort things out with his wife. He immediately picked it up and left for his home. He was quite late today because of the meeting but he would be home by the dinner. He reached home and a strage silence filled the home. He reached inside and found no one.

Arnav- "HP..." he called out as he was climbing the stairs.

HP-"Ji Bhaiyaji?" Arnav halted in his tracks and turned to look at HP who was standing on the edge of the stair.

"Arnav-"Where is everyone?" he asked.

HP-"Don't you know?" he asked back.

Arnav-"What should I know?" he questioned again.

HP-"Bhaiyaji they all went to hospital...Thank God Akashji was in time and helped Anjali Didi to..."

Arnav-"What happened to di?" he asked furiously descending down the stairs.

HP-"Wo...Woohh...Anjaliji is..." he stuttered looking at the furious boss. ARnav's jaw clenched and he handed Hp whatever he had in his hand and rushed outside. He checked his hone to know why Khushi hadn't called him. her anger can't be bigger than his sister's health. His anger grew as he didn't saw any call from her. there were just 2 from Anjali herself but his phone was on silent so the call might have missed. He checked the time of the call and it was almost 2.30 hours ago.

He was panicking. His sister is his everything. nothing else matters to him if her sister is happy...he even agreed for this loveless marriage just because of his sister's happiness. He sat in his car and drove towards the hospital as soon as possible. All he was praying was his sister to be fine. He will do anything for her happiness. Every passing minute fell like eternity. He just wanted to fly and reach the hospital. he tried calling Khushi but her phone just rang endlessly. All his soft feeling which he developed for her was immediately evaporated and was replaced by anger. He needs to put some sense in her. he can't bargain when it comes to his sister. She didn't even bothered calling him once...to tell him what was happening? He reached the hospital and ran inside the hospital.

Arnav-"Where is...?"

"Thank God BHai you are here?" he heard AKash's voice from behind and reached for him.

Arnav-"Where is DI?" he asked.

Akash-"Bhai we were calling you from so long...Where you have been?" he asked but he was not in mood of complains, he just wanted to see his sister.

"Arnav-"Where is Di?" he repeated but this time his anger was replacing his fury.

Akash-"Come..." he led ARnav towards the emergency room and as he saw his sister sitting on a metal chair outside the room he ran in her direction.

Arnav-"Diii..." He called out and Anjali looked up to see him and she rushed towards him to embrace him. he hugged his siter tight.

Arnav-"Please tell me Di you are fine?" he begged but Anjali sobbed on his chest.

Anjali-"Ch-Chotte...p-pl-please do something...Please..." she cried harder.

Arnav-"Di what happened? Where is it paining..."

"he was interrupted by his sister dob and in between he managed to hear her.

Anjali-" Please Chotte...Khushiji..."

He heard her name and as if reality sunk into him. Where is Khushi? He looked behind his sister but he couldn't find even a glimpse of her.

Anjali- "I-I tried a lot Ch-Chote but s-she can-t...Chotte she..."

It felt as if his body was paralyzed. He broke the hug and look at his Di.

Arnav- "WH-what happened to Khushi?" he aske Anjali but she couldn't answer. Shyam came frokm behind and hugged his wife sideways.

SHaym- "Don't stress yourself Anjali...Khushiji will be fine." He soothed his wife.

Arnav-"What happened to her?" he asked again.

Akash- "Bhai...BHai she had her asthma attack..and...and..."

ARnav-"AND WHAT?" he snapped.

Akash- "And she stopped breathing." He completed and it felt as if the ground underneath his feet was gone.

Anjali came in her room to rest once Khushi and Anjali and Khushi had their evening tea together. Khushi didn't let her do anything except for rest. When Anjali got bored of laying down on the bed alone, they read Anjali's baby books together and they even watched some pregnancy videos online. Khuhsi made sure Anjali sleeps before her left her room. she was feeling quite uneasy herself but she bruhed it away as she knew it was because of the minor old she had catched. He chest was slightly heavy and she had to cough again and again.

Khushi was in her room when she started coughing but her soughs didn't subsidized. Instead it grew worst. she tried to drink ome water buut the water came spluttering out of her mouth and the glass dropped on the ground. A sharp pain in her chest started growing and she missed the rhythm of her breaths. She ws coughing vigorously now. she was frantically searching for her inhaler but her hands were shivering so badly that she couldn't even do anything.

"Khuhsiji..." anjali called her as she entered her room. she heard some noises and came to see what was happening.

"Khushiji...ae you okay?" she asked kneeling down beside her but she couldn't stop coughing.

Anjali tried everything rubbed her back, bought some water trying to make her drink but her every attempt failed. she looked around everywhere for her inhaler but she couldn't find it anywhere but with every passing second Khushi's condition was worsening. She called her Chotte but he didn't answered her call, she called Akash who was already on his way home.

Akash- "As I reached she was trying hard to catch her breath...I tried giving her CPR but she wasn't able to breath. It happened in seconds Bhi, we rushed her to the hospital immediately but on the way she stopped breathing." He told Arnav everything but it felt as if wasn't listening to him. he stood there like a statue.

"Excuse me...are you the husband of the patient you bought?" a nurse asked Akash handing him a form but instantly Arnav got on alert.

"I am her husband." He snapped snatching the paper from Akash.

Nurse- "Oh I am sorry..."

Arnav-"How is she?" he asked ignoring her apology.

Nurse-"Sir you need to fill this form and the doctor wants to see you." she informed.

Arnav-"What is this?" eh sked looking at the paper.

Nurse-"Sir it's a permission form. You by filling this form gives the doctor to the permission form for the operation and it also ay that the hospital is not responsible if anything happens to the patient." She informed showing him the second paper.

Arnav-"What the hell you mean by it?|" he said with his clenched jaw. He couldn't evn imagine what the nurses words imply here.

AKash-"BHai relax..." He interjected holding ARnav by his shoulder.

Nurse- "Sir doctor is waiting for you." she informed and left them Arnav left for the doctor's cabin and sat on the chair.

"Arnav-"What happn ot my wife?" he aked.

Doctor-"Sir, we examined her...she breathings were very-very feeble when she was bought here...she is in a critical condtion and I am surprised how she managed to bear so much of pain?" he said.

Arnav- "Will she be okay?" he aske din a low voice.

Doctor-"we examined her and her chest is almost choked with mucus. She might be feeling the pain from a bit longer. She is alos asthmatic so it's very important for us to do that because if that's not done she wont be able to breath properly." He told him.

Arnav-"will she be okay?" he asked in a feeble voice.

Doctor- "the surgery isn't very complicated but your wife's condition ios not good. she having difficulty in breathing even yhtough we have all the artificial breathing equipment helping her and to top that all up she is having a very high fever."

Arnav sighed as he heard the doctor. She is in this condition because eof him. she wouldn't have have slept out if that wouldn't happened have seen him with Lavanya.

Doctor-"you can fil the form." He said and ARnav nodded scribbling his sign carelessly on the dotted line.

Doctor- "You should also be thankful to the person who gave her CPR...if she wouldn't have got that she wouldn't have made out alive here." Doctor's words just churned his heart. he couldn't be more thankful to Akash in his whole life. But as the image of someone elses lips on her just disturbed him.

But Akash did everything to save her.

He convinced himelf.

Arnav-"Can I see her?" he asked.

Doctor-"Not now."

And after thatat doctor let for the surgery. That was the longest 4 hours of everyone's life especially for ARnav who with every second blamed himself. He just want the doctor out with a good news. He was feeling guilty, not just because he hurt her several time buut because of his unsaid accusations which he threw at her while driving to the hospital. why couldn't he believe her once. Why he has to blame her for everthing? Deep down he knew Khushi wouldn't let anything happened to his Di but without even knowing anything she just thought so ill about her.

As the door of the operation theathre opened after 4 long hours he rushed towards the doctor.

Doctor-"The surgery was successful. Yu wife is okay." He informed.

ARnav-"Can I see her?" he asked hopefully.

Doctor- "You may but one at a time."

Shayam- "Is there anything to worry about?" he asked.

Doctor-"We will monitor her tonight...she has to be under our strict observation for few days. She is very week and we want to see her recovery."

AKash-"Thank you doctor."

Doctor nodded and left.

Akash-"Bhai you go." He told Arnav keeping a hand on his shoulder but somehow he stood rooted to his spot.

Akash- "She is alright now BHai...go and see it yourself." He encouraged.

Arnav-"Than you so much Akash...if you wouldn't have..."

AKash-"BHai lets just not talk about it...she is fine now and that's what we all wanted." He said and Arnav hugged his brother before going in to see his wife.

To be continued.

Precap-

Arnav-"Why are you doing this Khuhsi...?"

She looked at him uncertainly.

Arnav- "Why are you making me so confused?"
