Lavanya's ecstasy filled shrieks reached my ears as I could feel the doctor approaching me as I had grown the sense of hearing to an extent where I could identify people by their footsteps.
" Doctor see, Khushi has shed tears. Does that mean that she is recuperating and will come out of come soon?" Excitement was all I could hear from Lavanya's voice which seemed to have streaks of pain in it.
I felt guilty. Immensely guilt for that. That I chose someone who hurt me rather than people who loved me so much that it hurt them to see me like this.
Priorities...
How much had they changed since Arnav Malhotra entered my life? Name, Fame, Friends, Family, nothing meant to me more than him and he chose to reciprocate my love for him in the way he knew the best.
He was married in the past to an airhostess and he had left her. He had assured me that he was out of her thoughts and doesn't want to look back at her thoughts ever in life. I should have understood that the man in front of me was a lethal charmer. A charmer who knew how to charm people and damage their logic so that he could gain something of it.
I should have read into the lines to decipher that I would be met with a fate similar to that of his ex-wife but the innocent heart of mine, which pined for a person who could hold together the broken pieces of me thought that he was the gift from the destiny. The destiny of which I had heard ever since I was a child. The destiny which had a grudge against me.
I realized that being lost in his thoughts I had lost the information on my condition. Much alike the many important things I had lost after embracing his presence.
" Did you hear that Aunty? Khushi would be back to normalcy soon. Her body is responding. She is putting up a fight against the comatose and a good one for that."
Lavanya's happiness for me would have easily superseded my own as the want to go back to those who valued me.
" Lavanya? Is it what I am hearing? Khushi is recovering?"
Mr.Raizada...
The man without whom I wouldn't be hearing anything now. The man to whom I owed a lot for letting me have a second chance when I craved for it the most.
The myriads of feelings were doing wonders to me. I could suddenly feel control over my senses and I did what I wanted to; to see the world, with a hope that it changed for good.
I felt the light sear through my eyes as I felt pangs of pain tormenting my senses. I might be opening my eyes after days only due to the fight fueled by the care and concern fueled by people around me.
I wanted to be enveloped into a bonecrushing hug typical of Lavanya.
I wanted to cry my heart out in the affectionate lap of my mother who had been nothing but a pawn in the game played by my father.
I wanted to shout at my father for indirectly pushing me into this.
I wanted to testify against that jerk.
I wanted to apologize my fans for not appreciating their love enough.
I wanted to thank that person who gave me a new life and wanted to see that new life which was growing in me. And every single one of these wants, pushed me into the world of living, yet again.
The chain of doing what I have wanted had begun, as I opened my eyes completely only to see Mr.Raizada giving me a look I always wanted to see in people for me but never did; a look of concern.
My biggest victory had not been my last victory after all.
