The rain outside seemed to have stopped for the patter of the rain was no more. I got up for it was getting late but I couldn't move for my wife was sleeping snuggled into my chest and her one arm was wound around my waist.
Khushi..Jaan let me get up..
Nahi arnavji humein sona hai..
Jaan its already 8..i need to get ready.
Aaj office mat jaayiye na..and she smiled sheepishly at me.
I kissed her forehead ," Ek meeting hai sham ko jaldi aa jaoonga pakka.."
She scrunched up her nose and turned away her face.
Nashta nahi banoogi..
Nahi..and she covered herself with the quilt.
Soch lo phir main saara din kuch nahi khaoonga..
She opened her eyes and stared at me. She pouted and got down from the bed.
Thankyou..i shouted behind the closing door and walked into the bathroom.
It had hardly been few seconds when I heard a scream and I rushed outside to see the source of it.
The sight made my blood curl. Khushi lay in a pool of blood down the stairs.
Khushi..and I ran down to her.
"Khushi wake up," I said lifting her into my lap.
Chote inhe hospital le chaliye..i heard di..but my brain was hardly registering anything.
Chote..and I felt di's touch.
I nodded my head and rushed her into the car. Akash drove to the hospital while I held her on my lap cradling her head and calling her to get up.
I knew not when we reached but as soon as the door opened I rushed her out and ran across the hospital calling for the doctor.
I deposited her on a stretcher and the nurse started checking her all the while I was holding her hand.
The doctor told the nurse to take her to the operation theatre and then they wheeled her away. I could feel her fingers slipping away from my hand and I remembered the way she had begged me not to go at the airport and what had happened after that. I could still feel her tears that had flowed out of her eyes that day, the way I had pried her hands off me. I could never forgive myself for what I said to her but she never cared about it. The only thing she ever wanted me was to trust her even then and now I do. I knew I was wrong but she never regretted it. She says it was the time she knew how bad I could be and she also knew how to irritate me. I was confused and then she had shown me that notebook of hers. I had laughed so much at her that she was scared and then I had taken her in my arms and kissed her, kissed her till we were out of breath, kissed her to let her know how much I love her. I can never stop admiring her. She has strength that even I fail to possess. Even after 2 years of marriage she never seems to stop amazing me.
I was recollecting all the moments I had shared with her. Her antics, her jalebis, her chatter with Devi Mayyia..and even after two years of marriage the blush that creeps up her face when I touch her intimately. She still hides her face in my chest after I make love to her, and she still sings that song "aaj mausam hai suhana" sometimes I wonder if I have married a child woman. But none the less I love her more than anyone today.
Di is my sister and I love her too but the way I feel about her, I cant feel about anyone in the whole world. She brings out the best and worst in me. I don't know how but sometimes her antics make me smile and sometimes she makes me mad.
I knew not that there were tears cascading down my face. It was di who brought me out of my memories of her.
Chote..khushiji theek ho jaayengi..aap…
Di.. I sobbed and I sunk my face into her stomach wetting her saree..
Shhh chote..unhe kuch nahi hoga..aap aise hosla chod denge toh kaise chalega..
Anjali bitiya theek keh rahi ki padi..phati saare..i meanz Khushizz ko kuch nahi hoga..
I nodded my head and sunk my head into my palms again.
It was an hour later, a day later of few minutes later I don't know but as soon as I heard the door opening I looked at the doctor coming out.
I rushed to him and asked holding his shoulder him " Khushi..my wife..how is she..woh theek toh hai na..use kuch hua toh nahi na..main use.."
"Mr. Raizada I am sorry," said the doctor. It was as if my arms had been suddenly electrocuted. They fell to their sides and I lost my balance.
I could feel someone was holding me but I didn't know who it was. I didn't care..i knew I had lost her and I didn't care about anything else in the world.
"Mr Raizada Khushi is crtical but she can be fine. I am sorry about the baby,"said the doctor
"What," I heard myself yelling
"Yes, ur wife was few weeks pregnant I doubt she knew about it, it was too early but we couldn't save the fetus sorry about it," he said sympathetically.
Will she be able to conceive again,"
Yes yes Mr Raizada that will not be problem at all..she can have as many babies as she want
Have you told her about it yet.
No she is still critical
Then no one is to tell her anything
But..
I said no one..i will do it myself when the time is right.
Can I meet her now?
No mr Raizada the operation was fine but she is still crticial if she doesn't come to her senses in 24 hrs then we..
What then..
We might lose her or she might go into coma.
