PROLOGUE
"what happens when the victim of your actions is also the murderer of your happiness??"
-------------
He lay there motionless trying to register where he was. Looking around he realized his surroundings.
"A hospital?"
How did he land up there? He tried to remember where he had been before landing here.
Blurred images of him partying in a club rushed through his mind.
"Oh yes..party right." He had been partying with his friends in a club. And so there had been alcohol too. And he had consumed a lot of it.
"Aah..Damn my head." He cried in pain holding his head.
"Down strain yourself too much young man. You have just regained consciousness." He heard as the doctor entered.
"What happened to me?" he asked as he managed to sit up. His head was throbbing with pain.
"You had an accident." The doctor replied calmly.
Yes of course I had an accident. Otherwise what would I be doing here old man. He thought giving the man I-think-I-already-figured-that-out-look.
"You had an accident. You had an head injury. But miraculously it wasn't that serious unlike her." The doctor informed him.
"Her? Who her? I wasn't with any girl." Had he under the influence of alcohol hooked up with some random girl in the club?
"She wasn't with you. Your car hit her."
He froze at his words. What the hell. He had hit someone during driving. Under the influence of alcohol but come on he had hit someone with his car!!! Damn..
"What? I ..ummm..is she like is she.." he stammered still trying to register all that was happening. Or had already happened.
"Alive? Yes she is. But her head injury is extremely serious and she hasn't regained consciousness yet."
"Thank god atleast she was alive. " was all he could think at that point.
"I want to see her." He spoke up.
"I think you should rest for now. You haven't fully recovered yourself." The doctor tried to make him understand.
"I am seeing her now." He spoke up harshly.
The doctor sighed. Who could say no to the ASR.
"Sure. Come with me." The doctor spoke as he helped Arnav out of the bed and called for the ward boy to get a wheel chair.
10 minutes later he was being wheeled towards the ICU where she was being kept presently. She. Who was suffering because of his actions. Guilt clouded him as he finally reached there.
He got up from the chair to look through the glass window at her. His eyes roamed over all the equipments that were attached to her before he looked at her face.
And then his heart stopped.
His legs gave way and he fell back on the chair.
"No god. This cant be true. Anything but this. Please."
After a very long time Arnav Singh Raizada was crying and praying to god.
Cause she was none other than her.
There in front of him lay who was once his happiness. Who was once his Khushi.
Let me know your views about it.
And for PM'S BUDDY ME..
With love
