TaaRey FF: No life without you.
Chapter 13
Chapter 13
To lighten the atmosphere, Sharon said," So let's get started. "
Taani nodded, and started warming up. She knew she would have to be with them till this dance event gets over. No other option. But she wouldn't talk to them much, she swore. They would have to realize what they had done. As for Rey, she didn't know if things could get back to normal. She silently hoped they would.
" Ranbir Kapoor is so damn hot. Man, I just love him ! " Ayesha squealed over the phone. She was in awe of that extra hot man. Ranbir Kapoor.
" He's mine." Taani said in a possessive tone.
" Oh, please. You be happy with Rey, and I'll take Ranbir. " Ayesha retorted back, irritated that her best friend was referring Ranbir Kapoor as hers. She ain't let it happen. Never.
But, unconsciously Ayesha had reminded Taani of her bitter memories. Be Happy With Rey. The words ringed in her mind. For Gods sake, I was trying to be happy but he ruined it all.
Ayesha's eyes suddenly tuned big as realization dawned upon her at what she had just blurted out. Damn, you Ayesha. She thought to herself when she saw a lost Taani.
" I'm sorry. You know what? You can keep Ranbir. But, you have to let me meet him. Okay? " Ayesha tried to make her smile. And, she knew she was successful when she saw a smile on Taani's face.
Taani beamed, " Yes, I'll keep Ranbir. But, you can meet him once in a week."
" Fine ! " Ayesha said.
Taani smiled happily that she had kept her Ranbir away from at least one of his million fans.
Great start, She thought to herself.
On the other hand, The whole gang except Rey were watching her from the back of the rehearsal hall. They were delighted to see a smiling Taani. After all, she was smiling wholeheartedly after a long time. They looked at each other, but they still felt melancholic at the fact that they weren't the reason for her smile.
Swayam was relived for he knew at least Ayesha could make her smile. More than that, what relieved him the most was the fact that they hadn't lost Taani completely. Hope, was all he had. Hope, that one day Taani might forgive them for what they had done. And, he knew it would be difficult. For them and for Taani as well. Trust was broken. It can't be redeemed fast.
Suddenly, Taani turned to see the whole gang watching her.
" Bye, Ayesha. I'll talk to you later." Taani said and she disconnected the call.
" Should we start practicing? " Sharon asked her.
" Yes. " She said in a flat tone. Everyone took their place and started warming up. Taani noticed Rey was missing.
" We were supposed to practice today. But Rey.. Where is he, dammit? " Taani yelled in anger upset over the fact that Rey hadn't turned up for this practice. Much to her frustration, no one knew about his whereabouts.
Suddenly her phone rang. Unknown Number, It flashed.
She picked up with utmost reluctance. And, there she received the biggest shock and heartbreak of her life.
" Ms Taani , Mr Reyaansh Singhania has met with an accident. And-"
Tears dropped from her eyes like a dam had been left open. She couldn't believe that it was real. He has met with an accident. Is he okay? How? When? Where? Dammit, why is he so careless? What if something happens to him? NOOO. Nothing will happen to him. Nothing.
The person on the other hand continued, " And, he has been admitted to City Hospital. I request you to come as soon as possible. Thank you." and He hung up leaving a devastated Taani behind.
The phone from her hand, slipped and crashed onto the ground. Tears rolling down her cheeks, when Swayam noticed her.
" What happened Taani? Are you okay? " He asked with his voice dipped in concern.
But, Taani wasn't paying any attention. She was way to shocked to respond. He shook her again, and she turned her gaze from the floor to him and the gang, who had concern smitten over their faces.
She said, " Rey has met with an accident."
This mere sentence brought tears in everyone's eyes and their face full of concern. No one, for at least 2 minutes, said anything. The shock was too big to be accepted. But, Swayam was the first to respond.
Swayam went ahead and said," Relax Taani. Now, tell me in which hospital is he admitted in? "
" City Hospital " she managed to say between her weeping. Suddenly, she grabbed her car keys and said, "I'm leaving for the hospital. Come with me."
Everyone, for a moment smiled seeing their old Taani back. She was ready to help them. With a warming smile on their face, they nodded.
After driving Taani like a maniac and giving everyone a heart attack, they reached the hospital. Taani's eyes were still moist, her face pale. A nurse escorted them to the room, and she was bombarded with questions from Taani.
" How is he? Is he okay? How did it happen? Where? When? Does he need an operation? How are his vitals?" She continued asking, till she saw they had reached.
Nurse pointed to the room where Rey was asleep.
When she was him through the window, her breath stopped.
He was in a deep slumber with no regards to his surroundings. His head was covered with a white bandage, with a red spot on the side referring to the area of wound. His arm was also covered with the same white bandage. Seeing him in this condition, Taani felt the same pain gushing through her. Restlessness and despair took all over her while her eyes were continuously shedding tears. Her heart felt sudden urge to go over to him, kiss him, soothe his pain and if possible, take away his pain. A sudden fear came over her. What if something happens to him? She knew not only his, but her life was at stake. Rey was her life, her reason to live. All the barriers of the pain she had before suffered due to Rey, vanished and Love came over her.
" Mr Reyaansh Singhania had been admitted in this hospital this morning with severe injuries. His car had crashed into a tree.-" The nurse was interrupted by the doctor.
" Hello. I'm Dr Joshi. I had treated Rey this morning. His injuries are extensive and dangerous, and at least for 5 hours nothing can be predicted. If he does not wake up till the next 5 hours, it will be then dangerous and maybe even fatal because the injuries are mainly on the head. All I can say is pray that he wakes up before the 5 hours." He explained to them. Concern on their face grew bigger with each passing second. The Doctor left them with a big shock which they yet had to accept.
Depression took over Taani, when she again glanced over Rey, who was sleeping peacefully. A huge question crept her mind. What if something happens to him?
" Bhai, please tell me nothing will happen to him. Bhai, I can't live without him. I seriously I can't. Please, dammit say something." She pleaded out to him.
She had referred to him as Bhai. But he didn't have time to rejoice over it owing to the big news they had just received. He still didn't respond for he didn't know what to say. He couldn't make any false promises to her, even though he badly wanted to. He could clearly see the desperation, and the hollow void in Taani's moist eyes. She shook him, in hope that she would receive some answers.
She went to Sharon and said, " Sharon, please for gods sake say something. Nothing will happen to him, right? Pleasee." She collapsed on the ground crying. No one could see her in this condition.
After 1 hour, Taani was still on the sofa paralyzed. She just couldn't move, couldn't say anything. She was just too depressed to say anything.
The barriers of the pain she had felt when Rey had hurt her, were now pulled down and Love took over her. She forgot everything because this pain of separation was way too strong.
She heard Sharon say, " Swayam, I'm concerned for Rey. He still hasn't woken up. I'm really-" She started crying. Her best friend was on a damn hospital bed and was battling for his life. Tears betrayed her as she started weeping. Swayam controlled her, gave her emotional support.
Taani felt a sudden urge to have someone by her side to emotionally support. But, the one who was supposed to do so, was himself on the Hospital bed.
" Bhai, I want to meet Rey." She gave up finally.
" But, The doctor said no visitors are allowed." Swayam reminded her.
" Nothing will happen Bhai. I'm going in." Taani said not caring about the consequences.
Sneak Peak of the next chapter.
Hoping that no one would see them, she bent over and kept his injured hand on hers. She intertwined her fingers with him and moved forward. She kissed him, while her tears were wetting his unconscious face. She placed her delicate lips on his rough cheek. Then, she repeated the same on the other cheek.
Sobbing, she said softly, " Rey, I love you. I don't wanna lose you, because I can't live without you. If something happens to you, I won't be able to live. No life without you, my love. You have to live, have to come back for me. Please wake up. Pleasee. See, now I'm accepting your apology. Everything is forgiven, but please come back. I love you dammit. "
What she did not notice were the tears that came out of his eyes. He was crying, for crying out loud. And, what she was unknown to was this was the first step in his recovery process. They will have a happy ending, for their love is strong, pure and unconditional. He will wake up, for her.
