Chapter 28
Ragini was discharged by the doctor. Nachiket drove her to her mothers house. When she was getting out of the car she got dizzy. Nachiket quickly carried her in his arms. She was to weak to refuse his help.
In the room he laid her on the bed. It was very silent and awkward. Nachiket gave her medicines which she had and then asked to be left alone.
N - i will be outside if you need anything
R - you can go home. I will be fine.
N - its your first day home. I will stay
R - no need
M - there is a need. Nachiket get your clothes and stay here for a few days.
R - maa...
M - you dont say a word. Only if you stay together can you solve your problem
Maa left the room
N - what have you told maa?
R - just that we had a fight. I couldn't tell her the truth. It would break her. She is my only family now
N - i am always with you. I am not moving on with anyone even if you divorce me. I will be your shadow all your life if you don't want me to walk besides you.
Ragini was stunned by his words. Nachiket left the room. He went and got his clothes and essentials from his house. Ragini was annoyed to have him over. She kept thinking about rupali and him together. It would not let her sleep.
After dinner Nachiket got into bed but kept to his extreme end of the bed. Around 3am he found Ragini all curled up next to him. He gave up and pulled her in his embrace. She smiled and fell asleep. Nachiket kept staring at her. He had to make this right soon.
The next day after breakfast he went to meet rupali and tricked her into accepting her lie. Little did she know Nachiket had recorded her voice. He went home and made Ragini listen to it.
R - did you ask her to cover up for you?
N - how can you say that? After all this time together. You don't trust me
R - i don't trust anyone.
Nachiket stormed out of the house and spent the night in the hospital. Ragini felt she was wrong. But she was also doubting him at the same time. She called dadaji and spoke her heart out.
D - Nachiket is not lying beta
R - are you sure?
D - 200%
Ragini was still unsure. But she decided to trust dadajis opinion. She called Nachiket at work.
R - i want to go home
Nachiket smiled with tears in his eyes.
N - sure. I am coming to pick you just now
R - but its still not all good between us
N - sure. We can work on it
