Part-18
A few minutes later, Prachi was shifted from I.C.U, to the room. Everyone started visiting her. Nandini asked Milind to go home and get some sleep, as he was awake a being with them all night. Milind has just came out of the room, he was shocked to see Baba and Sukruthi coming towards Prachi's room. They too saw him, baba catches his hand , "kaha gayab hogaya that um kal raat, achanak", he could baba's expression, telling he had so many questions regarding his sudden disappearance from the house the before night and sudden appearance in the hospital in the morning. "baba, mein appko ghar mein saare sawalon ke jawab dedunga." He excused himself and went towards Karan, who was coming towards the room. But something prevented him to move further. He goes back to the room, stands at the entrance and stares at three of them. Sukruthi was sitting beside Prachi on the bed and was hugging her sideways , baba was sitting on the stool nearby and was pampering both of them. He was seeing with a lot of excitement in his face. He could wait anymore now. He thought he would confess his feelings anytime, when they were alone. He thought only Prachi could complete his family, and could not think of losing her at any cost. He found something heavy on his shoulder, he turns and finds Karan standing beside him, with his hand over his shoulder. "kya dek rahe ho, aisa lagtha ki dono 2yr old bahche ki tarah lagrahe hai na," he saw Karan was also enjoying the sight. "dono nahi, sirf meri behen do saal ki bachi ki tarah lagrahi thi, Prachi tho kabke bade hogayi thi. She's so gorgeous," hearing Milind's words he turns his head towards Milind and popped out his eyes. He sees him still staring in the room. "mere saamne, meri behen ko line maar rahe ho." Milind is shocked hearing Karan. "I'm not, it's a fact, isn't she looking gorgeous?" "oh, tho aisa kar, Prachi se shaadi kar, woh tho tumhe gorgeous lagthi hai na", Karan replied instantly without any hesitation.
"ya I'm ready for it, but does Prachi approve for this marriage?" Milind asked him scratching his hair. "pata nahi, hum andhar jaakar Prachi se hi pucccch lethe hai", saying he pulls Milind with him into the room. Seeing them rushing inside, Prachi and Sukruthi wondered why both made a hurry entry, Sukruthi kept wondering why her brother was still her, after telling that he need some rest. "Prachi tumhe kuch pucch na hai tumse", asked Karan, while sitting near her head on the other side, while Milind made himself comfortable on the sofa which was few steps ahead from the bed and buried himself into the magazine that was there. "hey Milind why are feeling so shy, shall I ask or will you ask her." Karan was laughing uncontrollably. Prachi looked both Milind and Karan in a puzzled manner, she didn't understand what they wanted to ask her. "bhaiyya kya puuch na tha aap mujhe", she looked at him, questiongly. Before Karan could say something, "aap bhi Karan, Prachi ko todi aaram karne dho", Nandini stopped him. She was followed by Ayesha, Neev and Alaap. Ayesha saw Milind sitting on the sofa and turns her head to the other direction. Neev and Alaap came in hand to hand. Milind excused himself and made his way out. Seeing him leaving the room, Ayesha and Neev followed him. Ayesha caught his and stopped him going futher.
"I'm sorry, for not informing you about this", Milind looked at her with his sleepy eyes. "it's ok, I know how you were in that situation, but I'm angry on Neev, he came to my house but……….", "I'm sorry Milind, I thought it was not the right time and moreover Sukruthi needed you, so I………….." "it's ok Neev, I can understand." Milind was about to go, "why don't you tell hi to Alaap?" Miind stopped and turned back when he heard Ayesha's voice. He was bit irritated by Alaap's name. There were not in talking terms with each other for 8 long years. "come on Milind, forget the past and forgive him. He did it playfully and jokingly…." "not joking, it costed a 12 year girl's life. I can't forget it, she was like my younger sister in the boarding." "I think it could not be a mere accident", Neev interrupting both and looked seriously with a puzzled expression on his face. "accident, what,w hich one", Ayesha and Milind asks in chorus. "that one happened with Prachi. Do you remember last year, when we three went same thing happened with her that day also." "shut up, Neev, it's not the right time to talk about it, if Karan bhaiyya hears it, we'll be screwed up with lot of questions, that we also don't know the answers." Milind gazed a puzzled look against both of them. Knowing Milind's curiousity "yeh Neev kuch bhi bolthe rathe hai", she brushed of. Milind finally came out of the hospital tired and exhausted. But one question was still in tried mind, "why Neev was telling that wouldn't be a mere accident and Ayesha brushing it out. Why Alaap was looking more weird than before, and trying to take away his looks from others?"
Prachi was kept in the hospital for few more days. A new project kept Milind more busy, preventing him from meeting Prachi. He could not even ring her up and ask about her conditions. As he was coming late and leaving early, he didn't have time to ask Sukruthi about Prachi. Few days later Prachi was discharged, even though her hand was not completely cured. Bugged by this prevention Milind thought of getting out this stress and make his way anyhow, to Prachi's house. After many days of work, finally he made his way out of the project and thought of seeing Prachi then and that time. He looks at his watch and finds it was already 10'oclock at night. He didn't want to disturb any on at that time but cannot keep himself away by not meeting Prachi. Just then an idea cleared his stressful mind. Prachi had just slipped into the sleep, after tossing half of the way as she was feeling uncomfortable. She just slipped ito sleep, feeling comfortable. But she suddenly opens her eyes wondering why she felt sudden comfortness, she sees someone familiar sitting near her head and staring her.
