UNSPOKEN LOVE

CHAPTER 47

Arnav gingerly made his way in her room. today, in just few hours he felt several emotions. His heart was not only in pain hearing her condition but it was scared. Scared of something happening to her, scared of losing her, scared of being alone again. as he moved in her room his heart missed several beats seeing her lying down so weak, so fragile. she had an oxygen mask over her mouth and several tubes were connected to her body. A nurse was standing close to her checking something. Her sudden voice broke the trance of his thought and he realized from how long he had been looking at her.

Nurse- "Are you her husband?" she asked him and he nodded.

Nurse- "Okay...she is sleeping right now. she is very weak because of the surgery and she even has temperature. I'll be monitoring her every hour and in between something happens than you can call me." she told him.

Arnav- "When she'll wake up?" he asked in a low feeble voice, scared that he might wake her up.

Nurse- "the more she sleeps is better, but she'll be up in hour or two." She informed him and left.

Taking small strides in her direction he sat on the small metal chair kept next to her bed. he looked at her once again.

Why she has this effect on him?

Why she makes him feel things, he doesn't want to feel...?

Why he can't her enough...?

Why can't he give her the happiness she deserves...?

He was hesitant to touch her but eventually he touched her palm slightly and instantly looked at her to look her reaction but she was peacefully asleep. He gently massaged her back of the hand where her IVs were connected with the pad of his thumb. He couldn't see her like this. if tonight something would have happened to her, he wouldn't have been able to live with it. not even once her thought came in his mind. He was blaming her, accusing her for something she hadn't even done. he couldn't bring himself to a point where he could think she would have been the one admitted to the hospital. he bought her hand up and kissed it lightly. If she would have been up she would have took her hand away immediately and that though was enough to hold her hand tighter.

Time flickered away quickly and he heard her groan which made him sit up straight.

Arnav- "Khuhsi...Khushi..." he called for her but her eyes scrunched up tight in pain. He touched her forehead to soothe her pain but he felt her temperature. He rang the bell to call the nurse and she came almost immediately. He gave her the way but didn't left her hand.

Nurse- "I'll call the doctor." She said and immediately the doctor came in.

Doctor- "Khuhsi can you hear us?" Doctor asked and she slightly nodded.

She was feeling suffocated and the oxygen mask she was wearing was making her feel weird. She reached for her mask but Arnav immediately stopped her.

Arnav- "You need it Khushi...don't remove it." he said and her eyes flickered open on hearing his voice. her eyes searched for him and they looked at each other for a while.

Doctor- "Are you still feeling the pain in your chest?" he asked her and she nodded.

Doctor- "We did a small surgery but don't worry you'll be fine. This situation was completely avoidable, you should have cared about your health."

Arnav- "She is having a fever." He informed the doctor.

Doctor- "We are giving her the medicine for it...she'll be fine" he said but suddenly she started coughing and Arnav leaned forward to help her. the pain shot up in her chest and a lone drop of tear rolled from the corner of her eyes. his heart churned to pieces seeing her in pain but the worst part was he was the reason of this pain.

Khushi- "W-Water." She managed to speak and Arnav looked at the doctor.

Doctor- "We cant give you anything for almost 12 hours. After that we'll only give you liquids." He told her.

Arnav- "But she needs it...her throat is dry." he spoke for her.

Doctor- " She'll feel like that but we cant do anything. She had recently undergone the surgery and it's not possible for us to permit her anything for few hours atleast." He said and Arnav huffed loudly at the helplessness.

Doctor- "We'll give her some sedatives...let her sleep. She is weak."

On the instruction Nurse injected some medicine in her vein and her face scrunched again. he rubbed her spot for her, trying to ease her pain and she looked at him.

Doctor- "She'll sleep now but if anything happens you may call us anytime." He told Arnav and left.

Khuhsi was still looking at him and their hands joined. He sat back on the chair and held her hand in both of his hand.

Arnav- "Why didn't you tell me once?" he asked in a low voice.

Arnav- "Nothing...nothing is bigger than your health Khushi..." he told her. "Do you even realize how scared we all were?" he asked and she looked away from him.

Arnav- "I know what I did was wrong...not just wrong...it was the worse one could do to someone...but is this the way? Punish me...but not yourself." He said not believing his own ears.

Arnav- "Khushi look at me when I am talking to you." He said with fake sternness just wanting to know her reaction. She gingerly turned to look at him and a tear rolled down from the edge of her eyes which he wiped immediately.

Arnav- "Sorry is not enough for what I did to you. I continued my relationship with Lavanya after our marriage but somewhere I felt bad but I was in a situation where neither I could tell you anything nor I could hide it." he said looking at their hands which were joined together.

Her eyes were getting heavy because of the effect of the medicines but he needed t let things out.

ARnav- "Why are you doing this to me Khushi?" he asked her and she looked at him with confusion she was trying hard to stay awake and listen but she couldn't hold herself longer.

ARnav- "Why are you making me so confused?" he asked her but she was struggling to stay awake.

Arnav- "Why can't I understand myself Khushi?" he said but she closed her eyes. he bought her hand closer to him and kissed the back of her hand again but he kept his lips closer to her hand and shut his eyes. the least e know a single dop o tear fell on her hand and he opened his eyes to realize he was crying.

Crying for a girl he was forced to marry...?

For a girl he hates...?

He gently placed her hand on the bed and checked her temperature once again. the medicines seemd to have worked a little as her temperature was dropping down. he could have sat on h more comfortable couch than a metal stool but he wanted to be closer to her. so he sat their watching her closely o the whole night. if blinking an eyes wasn't involuntary action , he would have done that too. He stayed awake the entire night just to watch her closely.

To be continued...

Precap -Arnav- Khushi...can we be friends again?" he asked and he looked at the uncertainly.

Arnav- "Can we just try?" he asked and she nodded feebly but that was enough to give him the hope.
