Part 9:
Hospital:
"Woh teekh hai... Shock mein hone ke kaaran behosh hogayi hai... Humne medicines diya hai... She will be alright..." Doctor in white coat explained with a soft smile...
"Kya hum usse dekh sakte hai...??" Mr. Anand and Arjun questioned in unison... Mr. Anand looked at Arjun... He is the guy who saved her... Yes, whole team worked hard, but how can he forget the person who founded out main reason behind Sakshi's missing today...
"Ha... Par raat ko sirf ek hi reh sakta hai..." Doctor said and left from there...
They all saw her sleeping deep and safe on hospital bed... After making sure that she is fine, they came out leaving nurse to take care of her...
***************************
"Mein apni beti ko chod kar kahi nahi jaane waali hoon..." Mrs. Anand said stubbornly...
"Nahi... Tum ghar jaake aaram karo, mein yahi rukhta hoon..." Mr. Anand said. She need rest... Everyone here need rest, because mental strain is more draining then physical strain...
"Aap burana maano toh mein kuch kahoon..." Arjun spoke... "Aap dono ghar jaake aaram kijiye... Abb Sakshi safe hai... Mein yahi rahunga..."
"Nahi beta... Agar raat ko usse kuch zaroorat padegi toh..." Mrs. Anand tried to explain...
"Teekhe Aunty... Mein rehti hoon Sakshi ke saath..." Aisha offered...
"Tujhe takleef lene ki kya zaroorat hai beti... Hum rehte hai..." Mr. Anand said...
"Iss mein Taqleef lene ki kya baat hai uncle... Sakshi meri sabb se acchi dost ke saath meri behen jaise bhi hai... Aap phikar matt kijiye... I will be here..." Aisha said... Shree, Chotu, Liza, Sameer and all other convinced them...
***************************
Aisha's stay with Sakshi relaxed everyone except Arjun... He wanted to be with her, keeping her safe... He is still not satisfied with her safety... After whatever happened, he cannot take this chance... Rahul is behind bars, but Arjun's heart is still beating fast...
Everyone got into cars and left from there... On Mr. and Mrs. Rawte insistence, Mr. and Mrs. Anand left with them...
"Arjun chalo..." Sameer walked to car... Arjun stood still... Sameer turned back, "Kya hua Arjun...?? Chalo..." Sameer said...
"Sameer woh... Mein..." Arjun looked down...
"Arjun..." He held him... Arjun hugged him... "Arjun... Arjun kya hua..??"
Arjun parted,"Mujhe bahot darr lag raha tha Sam... Mujhe Sakshi ko aisa dekh kar mera Jaan hi nikal gaya... Woh bhi kitni pagal hai, pehle bata deti toh baat yaha tak nahi pahonchti... Mein usse bahot naaraz hoon... Mein usse kabhi baat nahi karunga..." Arjun said in one breath without any acknowledgement smile playing on Sameer's face... He continued his complain on Sakshi...
Arjun stopped his blabber and looked at him, "tum hass kyun rahe ho...???"
"Tumhara naadani pe... Arjun tumne itne saare cases solve kiya hai... Par apne dil ki case ko solve nahi kar paa raha hai..." He said smiling looking at his confused face, "tumne itne saare case histories pada hai, par kudki history bhul gaya,.??"
"Tu kehna kya chahta hai...??" Arjun questioned...
"Arjun jab Roshni tumhari life mein thi, tumne kabhi aisa behave nahi kiya... Tumne kabhi mujhse yeh complaint nahi kiya ki woh tumse chese chupati hai... In real toh Roshini kabhi tujhe kuch nahi bata thi... Phir bhi you are ok with that, but you expect Sakshi to share with U everything..." Arjun realization hit him hard...
"Tumhara dil kabhi itna bechain nahi hua, jab Roshini bina bataye kudki dhun mein gayab ho jati thi... par Sakshi..." As Sameer said Arjun stood numb...
"Woh meri friend hai..." Arjun said in low voice trying to justify himself...
"Friend's se gussa hote hai naaraz nahi... Naaraz hum usse hote hai jinse hum Mohobbat karte hai..." Before Arjun could find an answer Sameer said..."Jhoot tum mujhse bholega toh chalega, par kud se matt bolna..." He said placing hand on his shoulder... "Aaj ka din tu yahi raho... Mein Shree ke saath chala jaunga..." Sameer left Arjun in thoughts...
*************************
Arjun went to Sakshi's hospital room and saw her peacefully sleeping... Sameer's words are still wandering his heart and mind... Does he..??!! Can he accept this...??!!
"Sir aap yaha...??" Aisha questioned...
"Sakshi ko dekhne aaya tha..." Arjun said staring Sakshi...
"Woh teekh hai sir... Abhi utti thi... aap hi ko pooch rahi thi... Mujhe laga tha ki aap chale gaye... Issi liye mein ne wahi kaha... Woh paani peeke Phir se so gayi..." Aisha said... Aisha's phone buzzed, "excuse me sir..." She said and left from there to answer her call...
Arjun stuck his gaze to her for few moments... He turned to
Leave but felt a grip on his hand... He turned with a guess who it was...
"Tum abhi tak soyi nahi...??!!" He enquired...
"Tum abhi tak gaye nahi...??!!" She counter questioned... He didn't answer... "Gusse mein ho..??" He glared at her...
"Gussa na karoon toh kya karoon... Tu mujhe pehle nahi bata sakti thi... Kiss baat ki intezaar kar rahi thi... Tum mujhe pehle bata deti thi toh yeh sabb nahi hota..." He was really angry on her...
That anger curved care is from his heart... His heart rhythm love for her... But it needed his acceptance...
"Mujhe laga ki mein Handel kar lungi..." She said in low voice making an innocent face...
"Dekh liya teri handling ki nateeja..." His scolding was in caring voice...
"Sorry..." She said holding her ears...
Before Arjun could say something Aisha came there, "Sakshi tu utt gayi..??"
"Ha woh neend nahi aarahi thi..." She replied...
"Ek problem ho gayi hai... Mujhe jaldi se ghar jaana hai... Par mein be Aunty aur uncle ko promise kiya ki mein yahi rahungi..." Aisha said with worried expression...
"Tum ghar jao Aisha... I am fine now..." Sakshi said...
"Mein yahi pe rukhta hoon... Don't worry... U can go..." Arjun said...
She thanked them and came out...
************************
"Aapka kaam hogaya sir... Arjun sir abb yahi rahenge..." Aisha said in her phone...
"Teekhe... Hum bahar wait kar rahe hai... Tum jaldi aao..." Sameer said and disconnected call...
************************
Hospital Room:
Arjun sat on the couch pretending to sleep... He is not able to sleep with this new known feeling... Is Phir Mohobbat happening...???
"Arjun so rahe ho..??" Sakshi questioned...
"Nahi... Video game khel raha hoon..." She made a puppy face with his sarcastic answer...
"Naaraz ho...??" She questioned...
"Chup chaap soti ho ya nahi... Mein sulane pe uttar aunga toh sirf nightmares hoga..." He said with a wide eyes...
"So rahi hoon..." She made a wrinkled face and closed her eyes mumbling something which wasn't audible... But she was looking so cute... He smiled at her...
***************************************
Arjun lied back on couch... He could see nothing but Sakshi... His smile whispers his love to her... Does he started loving her...???
"Kya mein Phir Mohobbat Karne laga hoon... Jiss ne meri zindagi mein chuti kushi ko Phir leayi... Jiss ne meri zindagi mein tooti rishton ko Phir se joda... Kya usse mein pyaar Karne laga hoon...??" Arjun thought to himself...
**************************
It is 5 in the morning... He woke up from his sleep... When he turned to her she is not there... She is not there on the bed skewing peacefully... He jumped out of couch and searched around... He ran out and found none in the corridors...
He came back to room and found Sakshi coming out of washroom... He went and hugged her...
"Arjun..." She was surprised with his sudden action... "Arj... Arjun kya hua..??" She stammered...
"Mein utt kar dekha tha tu nahi dikhi... Mein ne sare Jagah dekh liya..." He said breaking hug... He wasn't embarrassed now... But hesitation in her face asked him to maintain a little distance...
"Arjun... Tum tension matt lo... Jab tak tum ho, mujhe kuch nahi hoga... Mujhe tumpe pura bharosa hai..." They shared an eye-lock...
Sakshi walked to her bed and lied back with closed eyes... Her head is paining due to wound... She need some rest...
'Mera dil itna bechain kyun hogaya... Ek dost ke liye ya pyaar ke liye...' He thought to himself when he heard his inner voice, 'abb toh Kudko jhoot matt bolo Arjun, tumhara dil ne Phir Mohobbat Kiya hai... You Love Sakshi Arjun... you love her...'
"I love Her..." He mumbled looking at her... "I love Sakhsi... I Love Ms. Sakshi Anand... Angel of his life..." He realized his love..., that was a happy realization day for him...
