PART 4
Rithwik met Vijay the moment he woke up, mamta was not around to console the duo as they shed tears embracing each other but others tried to cheer them up, thou Rithwik looked around for mamta but didn't left vijay's side and was beside him till he went to sleep again
He sat there with his head resting on vijay's hand and his eyes closed 'Ricky Bhai, you should take some rest...you must be tried from all the traveling' shivam suggested as he patted his shouLder making him look up 'I know shivu but dad...' 'we are here for dad bhai, you go and get some rest' reeva told him on which he nodded tiredly 'hum bhe chalta hain ab, we will back tomorrow morning' Mr.Puri said and they all got up to go
Rithwik along with aman and Puri's left the room and made their way downstairs, to the exit
Rithwik shivered at the roaring of clouds, he doesn't like rains anymore, in fact it suffocates him, he wanted to just leave from here asap and hide himself somewhere, a lot had happened in just one day, he had come back to his family and decided to forget her at last and move on for his family but it seems like all his plans had met dead end as he could feel her presence around, she seem to be everywhere around him
As if she never left, but then it wasn't true, because she did, she did leave breaking his heart and trust forever, he sighed, he should hate her, no he has to hate her, but all he could do is feel her and miss her and want her back even after everything that had happened in the past
As they all walked out of the hospital, the clouds roared louder, rohit and ananya chatted about any random thing they could to divert his attention, aman started a conversation to grab his attention but all rithwik could hear was a sob, a heart breaking cry and he stopped dead in his tracks, it's her, of course it's her, he could feel her around, she has to be around, he thought as he looked around him
The moment he stopped, others too stopped and looked at him to find him looking around and then his focus landed on a pitied figure seating on the bench ahead them, her back facing them but they knew that it's her, and just as they all declared that the woman ahead is none other then palak they heard her, rithwik eyes widened as he heard her voice, she was talking to someone on call and without thinking further he started taking steps towards her, lost in his own thoughts
It has to be her, his heart cried out, I can feel it, he told himself and just then God decided to solve his mystery as she stood up and turned, and he froze in his steps, it was indeed her, her eyes widened too the moment she came across him
He could feel tears at the back of his eyes, which threatened to fall any moment, and so God did another favor to him, it started raining heavenly, everyone around them started running towards any shade to protect them from this heavy rain while those two stood still on their place unaware of everything around them all they could see was their love in front of them and all they could feel were the flow of tears from their eyes
Ananya had tears in her eyes as she saw both of them from far, she don't know why but she still believe that palak was never wrong and whatever she did was for Ricky, she loved him way to much to betray him 'guyz I guess we should leave him alone...lets leave' she told others on which Mr.Puri was about to object but she didn't let him 'I will call and inform mamta aunty about it' she added and dialed mamta's no without any delay
Palak and Rithwik stood still, there tears didn't seem to stop but was saved from being shown, as God showed mercy on them by blessing them with the rain...mamta's word played at the back of her head
'you need to know that he never moved on, he is stuck there where you left him...i can't even tell you in words what was his condition that day when you...you and naman...my son was dying, he was dying palak and you were the cause of it'
She was the cause of it, she gave him that unbearable pain, she is his culprit, she ruined everything, a sobbed escaped her lips as she raised her hand, her fingers itched to touch, she wanted to touch, to hold him close and to not let him go and finally her palm came in contact with him, as they finally rested on his cheeks, a little hesitantly but they did
She let go of a breath she was holding in while he sighed, as if it was a dream, as if she would disappear any moment and just because he didn't want her to go he placed his hand on her's, a shiver ran down her spine on his mere touch and few more tears rolled down 'Ri...Rith..wik' she called out but it came out as a whisper among all the noise of the thunderstorm
His eyes widened, it was all real, she was here, in front of him, for real and so was the reality, she had left, she had left him and gone, she had broken his trust, she had ruin him, it's her, the one who killed his soul, the one who ruined his happiness, she was the same disaster he engulfed with all his love but all she did was betray him
The anger over took him and his hold on her hand tightened, she yelped in pain, it had hurt her, but he cared less as he pushed her hand away in result making her fall, a hint of care passed in his eyes as she fell but he didn't let it over power him, she only deserved his anger, and that's how palak was brought back to earth, she nowhere belong to him, she don't even have a chance to stand beside him anymore, mamta was wrong, he hates her
No other word was exchanged between them as she finally stood up, she could see many familiar faces behind him among which one was her best friend who knew the entire truth and just then mamta along with few others came out standing just beside him, while mamta had looked at her with some hope others gave her a non approval look, their earlier shock of finding her there was replaced by the anger and hatred they had carried for her in past two years
The people she could see had some other feelings for her then hatred were mamta, setu and ananya but even that wasn't needed, she shouldn't be here, she never belonged between these people, it was her mistake to let her guard down for Rithwik years back, but then she made another grave mistake by doing what she did, by breaking his heart, but all in all it was back to square one but this time she will hold herself strong, now all she should care about is Anaya, and that was how she remembered about her sick daughter,
She dig her hand inside her purse and took out her mobile, 2 more missed calls from Anita aunty, she held her forehead, it was a mistake to stay here, once again she looked up at him and found him still starring at her with some unknown emotions in his eyes but his face was still stiff, filled with so much rage as if he would kill her right now 'I...I am sorry' she said out to no one in particular and ran away from there clutching on to her purse strip a little too tightly
Once inside she ran for her dear life, as if being close to him will be the cause of her death and she kept running until she was inside children's ward 'Palak, Oh God, what had happened to you' anita shrieked, as she shook her a little to get some reply but palak had looked at her with empty eyes, as if everything inside her was dead 'Palak beta, speak up what happened, tell me' anita tried softly holding her hands, palak held on to her tightly as she slipped down and fell on the floor with a thud
'Aunty, I want to go away, please let's go home, I will look after anaya well, I Promise...let's just...just go, please ' Palak pleaded as Anita nodded agreeing to her request 'of course you will look after her well, you are her mother and an amazing doctor, you will look after her...come let's go' Anita gave her support and made her stand up, she then wrapped around her the spare shawl she brought in case it was needed for anaya and then made her hold anaya, palak mother instincts took over her as she held onto her daughter tightly covering her from her shawl so that no harm could reach her
And then she helped palak with getting out, palak stopped by the reception to inform that she will not come tomorrow while anita brought umbrella from her cabin, and that's how they left from there with Anita holding onto the mother daughter duo protectively
Rithwik just slumped on to the floor lifelessly, she was here and for a moment it felt as if she never left but she freaking did, she left and took his life with her, she made him so helpless that he couldn't even smile ever again, she crushed all his happiness under her feet and walked away by turning deaf to all his pleads
Mamta ran to him as he let go of all the strength in him 'Ricky...don't do this to yourself' she cried but his sobs were more heart broken then her tears 'Mom why is she here...I never wanted to see her mom, mom why me mom? Why me? Those wounds which she gave didn't even heal till today and now it feels that they are again fresh...Mom I feel so lost, so helpless..mai Kya karun maa' he cried 'Ricky, get yourself together, my son is not that weak...Get up now' she ordered making her voice strong and pulled him up with all her force and he obliged getting up tiredly
'Come now' she then made him sit on the same bench palak was sitting earlier, she didn't say anything else but pulled her son in a hug running her hand on his back, rithwik hugged her back tightly and hided his face in her embrace as he cried, he finally cried out loud for all the pain he had been through all these years
Minutes passed but he didn't let go of mamta, he just cried and cried until that unusual feeling came back, she was around, he looked up and then broke the hug, his eyes desperately searching for her, mamta starred at him intently as he looked around and there she saw palak walking towards the main road with anaya in her hands and that same lady from evening holding her and walking beside her
Rithwik's eyes too landed on her and a lot of questions passed through his eyes, he had a lot of questions in his mind as he finally regained some of his senses, Palak had a kid in her hand, naman was nowhere with her, he then looked at mamta with questioning eyes 'mom she was in U.S right? she married naman right? Mom did you know she was here? Is there something I have no clue? What's happening Mom?' He asked, regaining all his strength he had looked at mamta with demanding eyes
This mother son duo was always like this, they didn't need any exchange of words to understand what was going on inside their mind, the moment he had looked at mamta after palak walked away he knew something was amiss and when mamta slightly nodded his doubt was confirmed
'I have to tell you something Ricky' mamta said
