Shattered Part 2
I woke up with tubes in my arms. White walls surrounded me and two chairs were occupied by Chotte and Khushiji. I looked down at myself and I saw I was dressed in a hospital robe. What had happened? I billions thoughts were running through my mind at once.
"Di! You're awake. Are you ok? Do you need the doctor?" Chotte frantically said.
"No, I'm fine. But.. what...what happened? All I remember is.." I sad trying to recall the events that had happened. Then it hit me. The pain was back. The betrayal returned. I saw Khushiji and Chottey look at each other. Khushiji opened her mouth to say something but before she could, I stopped her.
"Did he leave?" I asked looking away.I could never face the guilt and pain in their eyes. I had forgiven them for what they had done, but I could understand why they hadn't told me. A part of me however would never forget that they couldn't tell their own Di about what had happened.
"Yes, he left. And I can make sure he never comes back. Hell I can make sure he doesn't come 10 ft within Delhi," Chotte said in a stern manner.
"Good. His face only brings painful reminders of what has happened. Where is everyone else?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"They;re waiting outside. The doctor said only 2 people in your room at a time," Chotte said. I could still see Khushiji hid her eyes. She was ashamed, guilty. That horrible man tricked her into thinking it was her fault. I would have to fix that. But I knew, one step at a time.
"Could you please bring Priyanka in? I think the doctor wouldn't mind my own baby being here," I said. The only happiness left in my life was my own family. Especially Priyanka. She is the miracle to my life. Without her at this time, I would never survive.
"Sure Di. Anything for you," I heard a small voice say. This time is was Khushiji who talked. She got out of her chair and opened the door walking out of the room not making eye contact. I looked up at Chotte's eyes. I could read all his emotions clearly. Anger. Guilt. Love. Hate. Kindness. Worried
"You're ok? Are you sure?" he said in a small voice. Tears were prickling up in his eyes.
"Yes Chotte. Don't worry too much about me. And hey, what will people say if my baby bhai beats my record of crying? Hey na?" I said smiling lightly. That brought a smile to his face.
" That'll never happen. But I think Khushi is close to that record," he said laughing lightly.
"Let her beat the record. No more tears for me," I said
"Are you mad? Please don't be Di. We never met to hurt you by not telling you. We just couldn't bear to see you sad. And we were going to tell you earlier but, that monster had fate on his side. Every opportunity we got to tell you, fate snatched it away. Please forgive me," he croaked out trying to explain.
"Aree baba. Did I say I was mad? I understand. You know I can never be mad at my chotte and my bhabhi. Chotte you're so lucky to have someone like Khushiji. Never let her go. I hope to find someone who will have that much care and love for me like bhabhi has for you. I hope I find someone like that who will stay with me in the time I have left on this world," I said quietly.
"Di, I know you'll find someone perfect for you. Someone who love you more than I do," he said burying his face in my lap.
"I love you," I said
"Di, I love you more than you can imagine," he said. Khushiji entered with Priyanka.
"So sorry it took so long. She just didn't want to leave her Nani," she said smiling lightly.
" You already replace me, hey na?" I said giggling. I brought her to my lap where Chotte previously rested his head. I couldn't help but smiling seeing the picture before me. Chotte had his arm around Khushiji. Her head was buried in the crook of his neck. I could hear him whisper
"Everything will be ok baby. Don't you worry." He kissed her forehead.
"Mama, where is Papa?" Priyanka suddenly asked snapping me out of my reverie. My smile slowly faded. No words came out of my mouth as Priyanka stared at me with her innocent eyes. There would be no easy way of explaining this to a 3 year old. That was a fact.
*NOTE*
This takes place 3 years after the 6 months. Arnav knows the truth and everything BUT Anjali still doesn't know about the 6 month marriage contract. Throughout the SS, it will be revealed why they didn't tell her earlier, Anjali finding out about the 6 month marriage and what brought Arnav and Khushi to tell Anjali after all that time!
LIKE AND COMMENT PLEASE :)
