Chapter-3
"I love you..."
It was half past 11 in the night...doctor had taken his last round of the day and now they could take sleep,instead of reading boring bolly-curry type magezines or watching some nonsense serials on TV, for the sake of time pass,Rajat preferred to sleep.
"Aunty you must be very tired...why don't you go home and freshen up..."Mugdha offered to Ritu.
She thought for a while,looking a grief on her son's face,she thought of going off from his sight as her presence could do nothing except increasing his pain and grief.
"Okay Mugdha...take care of him!"said she and took off all useless stuffs with her.
Mugdha looked the room..it was all messy...things were scattered here and there so she started placing them at proper place..although hospitals'private wards get a regular cleaning yet it was hard to maintain it due to regular visits of fans,relatives and friends.
Occasionally she was watching Rajat,he was trying to sleep yet seem restless,changing sides frequently and murmuring soemthing in between...she was busy in doing her work when suddenly a loud moan of him distracted her...she heaved to him quickly as he was rubbing his head wound very harshly...holding his hand she slowly and gently rubbed it...he was murmering in betweens but his murmers were not audible for her so she bend her head a bit close to his mouth...
"what..."she concentrated each and every word very hard...
There were some uncleared sounds and puffs in between she could here something...yes something that was very clear...
"I...lov...e...you...Mu..g..dhaaa...!!!"
She was startled...for a second she could'nt hold herself...she stood up numb minded and slumped on the bench nearby his bed...her mind has stopped working...
she could hear only his whisperes,moans and his last words,"I love you Mugdha..."
"What was that!!!Is her really!!! how could he...!!!"
She could'nt think..could'nt accept..could'nt react...
"then what was that...when he called her last time and said..."Mugdha..I am sorry...I am in love with Mauli..." What was that...!!!
Her face was full of sweat...she could never forget his last call...he was drunk..for sure he was not in his senses but he dint lost his heart..what he had said was true...true that he loves Mauli...he himself had confessed that to her...
"Mugdha I am sorry...I am in love with Mauli...you know Mugdha we are very much different...our thinking,our principles everything is different...Mugdha I can't spend my whole life with you...I am sorry..."
Mugdha fell down on the floor with reciever in her hand...tears were flowing endlessly yet she composed herself and somehow said..."Its okat Rajat...I respect all your decisions...its okay..."she could say only that much and putting receiver she cried...cried out but not loudly...she hold her mouth with palms so that no one could hear her sobes except silence in her room.
The thought of it twisted her mind yet she again composed herself..."No..not again...she will not trust him again...she can't let him to play with her heart again...No...!!!"
