Hey guys this fanfic is about
Prem Sharma!
And
Mukti Basu!
Chapter 2:Part 2
"You can dodge this bullet,Mukti Basu,"She said to herself
Her verbal warming did no good.Her mind settled back on Prem and wouldn't let go.Had he been as attracted to her as she has been to him?His gaze had held a special gleam,one she had never noticed in a man's eye,though she was certainly no expert on men.Relatonships had never been in the cards for her,nor could she have explored any had they been.She'd been too busy to trying to put her body and soul back together and trying to craft a life for herself.
Suddenly Mukti found herself traveling back in time to that fateful day when she had awakened from surgery to find her godfather sitting beside her bed,his face twisted and drenched with tears.
"Anurag uncle,where am I?"she remembered asking in a week,trembling voice.
"In the hospital,beta."
"Why?"
"There's been an accident." he choked out."Don't you remember?"
She thought for a moment,then said,"No.What happened?"
"You just got out of the surgery."
"Is that why it hurt so badly?"
"Are you in pain?"
"My leg--"
"I'll call the nurse."He punched the button on the side of the bed.
"How bad am i injured?"
"Oh god,baby--"Anurag's voice broke and he couldn't go on.
"Tell me,Anurag Uncle."
He must have heard that panic in her voice,because he blurted out the words that changed her forever."You can't walk for two years and hurt yourself real bad."
"Mom,Dad?Mom and Dad was with me,weren't they?"When he didn't answer,Mukti went on,her voice in the shrill range.
"Weren't they?"
"Yes.baby.
"where are they now?why aren't they here with me?"
Anurag put his head down and sobbed.
"Anurag uncle,"She cried,placing a hand on his head and burying it in his hair."where are they?"
"They can't be here,Mukti,"he sobbed.
"Why not?"
"They.....they couldn't make it."
At first those horrible words didn't penetrate,so she asked,"What do you mean?"
"They're.....they're dead,baby.Your parents died on impact.
"No!"Mukti let out a wail that sounded like a wounded animal's cry.
Anurag raised himself just enough to fold her in his arms,his chest absorbing the brunt of her sobs.
"I want my mother,:She cried over and over."I want my mother.I want my parents......."
It was fresh tears falling on her arm that brought Mukti back to reality.She raised her head and struggled to swallow the huge lump lodged in her throat.Dear Lord,she hadn't taken that stroll down her memory lane in years.But whenever she did,it racked her body and soul,rendering her useless for hours,days,even weeks.
This time was no exception.She felt spent,utterly drained and so depressed that she wanted to curl into a fetal position in the closet and say to hell with the world and everyone in it.
She wouldn't do that.Pity parties where she had was the only one in attendance were another part of her past that no longer existed,but she knew that hadn't always been the case.Once she had gotten over the shock of her parents death,she'd to deal with another shock-----of her not having children's.
And guilt.even though the accident hadn't technically been her fault---the other driver had been charged--She had nonetheless borne the responsibility of causing her parents death.
Mukti didn't realize she was no longer alone until she turned and saw her godfather standing behind the French doors watching her.Knowing it was too late to mask her tears,she motioned for him to join her.
Once he was outside,he walked over and silently pulled her into his arms.
"I'm so glad to see you,Bade Papa,"She whispered,clinging to him as tighilty as she had done so many times in the past.
"You're still my world's best daughter and you can always count on me."said Anurag.
