Love You Foreverrrrrr………Part 12
RECAP: Srishti sends Geeta with Raj's dinner and there, Geeta over hears Raj and Seher's confrontation. Seher is too disturbed after the whole argument.
Seher reaches home and there she finds her mom shopping for Jewellery.
"What is all this mumma?" Asked Seher.
"Preparations my dear! Come, we were waiting for you. Where have you been?" Asked Mrs. Singhania.
"Mumma, I'm tired, I just want to take some rest." Saying this she steps towards her room.
"Seher!!!" Shouted her mother. "What is the matter with you? It doesn't seem you're going to get married in a few months. Look at you; you don't look like Seher SINGHANIA. How much time do you need to shed this small townie image?"
Seher was surprised at her words, "Oh! I'm so sorry Mrs. Singhania! I guess I'm a threat to your status, right?"
"This is no way to talk to your mother Seher!" Her father commanded as he entered.
"And the way she termed me as a SMALL TOWNIE??? I guess that was the best possible way to talk to your daughter right papa?"
"What's wrong with you Seher? You need to change yourself a bit that's it!!! Why are you making a big issue of it?" Said her father.
"But what's wrong in being myself? My clothes and make-up stand nowhere in defining my character! Then why do I have to change myself?"
"Your wardrobe has been already restructured. I'm sure you'd like it. Now I want you to look like Ms. Singhania. No more arguments." Her mother walked off saying that.
Seher felt as if her life is not hers. As if it is slipping out of her hands. First she had an argument with Raj and now marriage with Yash. She was just living a life monitored by some undesirable elements. But she couldn't do anything……………………
It's 12 'o' clock at night and there is no sign of sleep in Raj's eyes. Geeta had left sometime before. He is just looking at the clock kept there and contrasting time. The time when he was with Seher, and the time which he spent accusing Seher!!! There was so much difference. But the fact that this difference could be felt by him proves that his love is still overpowering than his hatred.
It's a new day, a new morning and Pratham is in the staff-room reading some notes for the upcoming lecture when an assistant comes there, "Mr. Sinha!"
"Hmmmmmm……"
"Mr. Bhasin has called you immediately."
"I'm coming." He reports at Mr. Bhasin's office. "May I come in sir?"
"Come in Mr. Sinha. I need to talk to you."
"Yes!"
"Actually we need some recruitments in our staff and one of the requirements in for a physiatrist, I mean a good psychology teacher."
"So?"
"I've heard that you wife is a physiatrist! I'd be our pleasure to have her here. I was wondering if you could convince her!!"
"Let me make it clear sir! Me and my wife keep our professional lives apart. Here's her card. You may contact her yourself and if she agrees, I've no problem. But I can't convince her on the ground that we husband and wife will get a chance to work together. I hope you understand!"
"Of course I do! Thanks for her card."
"Now if your talk is over, may I leave for my lecture?"
"Sure"
He comes out and on the way meets Prashant Sir.
"Good Morning Mr. Sinha!" Prashant Sir wished him.
"Morning sir! You're going somewhere?"
"I'm going to see Srishti's son and Raj. They are admitted so……"
"I know!"
"Why don't you come along?"
"I've my lecture."
"So you will not go to see them?"
"I will, maybe in the evening."
"Ok! But I'm free right now so I'm………………"
"Its ok sir, have a nice day."
"You too"
Saying this, Pratham headed off to his class and Prashant Sir went out.
"Good Morning students!"
"Morning sir!"
"So today we'll begin with Fluid Mechanics…………" And he continued with his lecture.
It was recess after Pratham's lecture and all the students were at the canteen!!!!!!
"So what will you have Neha?" Asked Sunaina.
"Nothing. Just a coke!" Neha replied.
"And Sid! What about you?"
Sid was lost somewhere and didn't answer.
"Siiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddddd" Shouted Sunaina.
"Yes! Me??" Sid was shaken.
"Who else is Sid out here? What will you have?"
"French Fries"
"Ok! One burger, French-fries and a coke." She placed the order. "So, tell me, where were you lost?"
"I was just wondering why Raj Sir is not here for the past few days." Asked Siddharth.
"I know! He has met with an accident. That too while helping Srishti mam." Answered Neha.
"What????????" Both Sid and Sunaina were shocked.
"I'm telling you the truth. I heard Pratham Sir and Prashant Sir talking. Srishti mam's son was admitted in the hospital and Raj sir went to help her. While on his way back to the hospital, he met with an accident." Explained Neha.
"But! Does Raj sir know Srishti mam from before? (Till then their order had arrived) I mean, these days, no one helps a stranger right?" Asked Sunaina.
"I don't think they're past friends. I mean I saw them meeting and they were meeting as if for the first time. Rest I don't know. But still, he helped her in difficult time! That's important!" Added Sid.
"Ya right! He is just too good." Said Neha.
In the staff room, Geeta and Srishti were talking.
"How's Rohan now?" Asked Geeta.
"Fine! He's getting discharged today. I'm so relieved!" Replied Srishti.
"And Raj?"
"Day after tomorrow. By the way, he had his dinner properly last night?"
"No!"
"No?????" Srishti was curious to know.
"Yes! He was lost somewhere."
"Did something happen?"
Geeta shared the whole confrontation with her. At the end, Srishti said, "I think I know who that girl was!"
"Who was she?"
"Ms. Seher Singhania!"
"Whatever, but…" Geeta stopped in between.
"But what???"
"I don't know Srishti if that girl was right or Mr. Malhotra, but when I was with him; I could notice the discomfort and earnest desire to be all alone in his eyes. His pain could be felt deep inside. He loves her so much Srishti; he loves her so much!!!!!!!!"
"I can understand!"
"No you cannot understand. You can never imagine the hatred I saw in his eyes, but still I could sense that it was love………I just wish he gets his true love in his life."
Srishti was constantly looking at her all the time. Geeta had tears in her eyes!
At the hospital, Prashant Sir was sitting with Raj.
"So how are you feeling now?" He asked.
"I'm fine sir. I'll be back in a few days. Why did you bother?"
"There is nothing to bother in this! We all just want to see you all right."
Raj just passed a smile.
"Raj! Where is Rohan admitted?"
Just then Geeta and Srishti entered.
"Srishti! Good that you're here. I was just asking Raj where is Rohan admitted!"
"I'll take you there sir. By the way Raj, how have you been doing?" Asked Srishti.
"I'm fine and doing great. Don't worry. You go with Prashant Sir. Rohan may need you." Replied Raj.
"Why are you so keen on pushing me out? Geeta is also with me tell her also to leave!" Said Srishti jokingly. Prashant Sir laughed, Raj gave a weird expression while Geeta made a straight face.
"I'm just joking. Geeta will have lunch with you and then she'll leave ok!! I'm going. Take Care."
"Rohan is getting discharged today right?" Asked Raj.
"Ya right! And them me and Rohan both will come together to disturb you. Bye!" Srishti laughed and went- off. Prashant Sir too wished Raj a speedy recovery and followed Srishti. Geeta was all this time busy unpacking things. As everyone left, she turned.
"Hi" Said Geeta.
"Hi" Replied Raj.
"Here's the key of your house and here are your clothes. And yes, your Neeta aunty said that she'll soon come to see you."
"Thanks"
"For what? I thought we became friends yesterday!"
"Ok………I give up."
"Don't give up…………Go and change!!!"
Raj took the clothes and as he was about to get off the bed, he felt dizzy.
"Hey Raj! Be careful. Shall I call a helper?" She held him as he was about to fall.
"No! I'll manage." He went off to change.
As he came out, Geeta came running as he wasn't able to walk properly, "Be careful!" She made him lie down.
"So you want to have lunch now or after sometime?"
"Now!!" Said the doctor as he entered. "Because we have to give him the medicines and those cannot be given like that."
"Ok doctor, so you can give him the medication in about an hour till he has his lunch!" Said Geeta.
"Sounds good to me. I'll se you in an hour. Take care Mr. Malhotra." The doctor left and Raj smiled.
Just then someone came in with a big bouquet of flowers.
"Sir! This is for you."
"For me?" Raj was surprised "Who'd send me flowers?"
"Maybe Srishti!" Said Geeta.
Raj made a face and as he opened the card, he was shocked to read the message!!
PRECAP: "Geeta! I need to go…………I need to go now!" Raj was very tensed. "But Raj you aren't fit enough. I can't allow you to risk your life!!!" Replied Geeta. "I don't care! I just want to leave……………I want to go. I can't let Seher do this!! I just can't."
