Chapter- 3
Ranbir felt like he couldn't move his legs anymore, they felt so heavy. Yet he ran toward the receptionist & asked about Prachi. Pragya & Shahana followed him.
- Flashback
"So my 20th question is how will you react if I get between a life-death situation, Ranbir?", Prachi asked grinning.
They were sitting on the couch, cuddling on a Sunday morning, relaxing. Her feet rested on his lap while her head rested on the couch handle.
"What the Ef! Prachi!", suddenly he was anrgy, pushed her legs away, jolting her with surprise.
She slapped his arm playfully.
"Baklu, I was about to fall down", she said settling her legs on his lap again.
He looked away.
"What?", she asked.
"Don't ever say such things to me. Last time when I saw you lying on that hospital bed, I couldn't breath. It felt like something heavy occupied on my chest", he stated pulling her closer to his chest.
"I got typhoid & you were there like I was dying", she rolled her eyes.
He glared at her.
"I told you not to say such things", he gritted.
"What? Things like dying?", she raised a brow.
He looked away again, caressing her hair.
"We all have to die someday right?", she asked, looking up at him.
"That doesn't mean you need to have a belief discussion on this topic. The thought of we parting away for whatever reason makes my heart break into thousand pieces. Don't do that", he said sadly.
"Ranbir!", she got away from his arms only to cup his face in her palms.
"I was playing around. I won't talk about this anymore. Never", she assisted, placing a soft kiss on his forehead.
He pressed his lips into a thin line & pulled her closer & pecked her cheek.
"Let me go, I have to prepare lunch. You have to help me", she stated in a bossy tone.
"With pleasure, my lady", he smiled lifting her in his arms.
She giggled wrapping her arms around his neck.
Flashback ends-
He ran toward the corridor reciting the room number repeatedly as he was unable to concentrate on anything. He felt like he couldn't breath. Room No. 3. He was about to get passed but then noticed Prachi, the love of his life lying there lifeless. The medical team was trying to help her breath. Pragya looked at him. She followed his gaze, she saw her daughter there.
Ranbir opened the door & the nurse tried to stop him.
"Excuse me, sir you can't come in. There's a very critical patient who need our attention. Please co operate. Wait outside", she requested.
He froze on spot. Prachi was having trouble to breathe. She was gived oxygen & the doctors were trying every possible way to make her breath properly.
Shahana pulled both Pragya & Ranbir out of the emergency room patiently. Pragya fell down, Shahana held her. She made her sit on the chair while Ranbir just stared into blank space.
After waiting for a long time which felt like eternity, a doctor came out of the room & asked for Prachi's family members. Ranbir stepped in before Pragya or Shahana could say anything.
"I am Prachi Arora's husband. How is she?", he asked wiping his tears.
Pragya stood there astonished while Shahana was still crying thinking about Prachi.
"She met an accident yesterday. One of her ribs got broken, for now she's stable but due to complications she was having breathing problems. Its better if she stays under our observation for few days", the doctor explained.
"But she is out of danger right?", Ranbir asked impatiently.
"Can't say that until she regains her consciousness. She was unconscious for 3 hours after the accident & when she woke up, she didn't speak much. Although her nervous system examination revealed not much abnormality. We didn't bother her much. We tried to contact with her family but failed before", the doctor explained.
"Thank you so much doctor. Please save her life. She is everything I have", Pragya pleaded.
"We are trying our best", the doctor assured.
Aryaan & Kohlis arrived just then. Aryaan rushed to Ranbir, hugged him. Ranbir burst into tears. Pallavi & Vikram consoled Pragya while Deeda held Shahana close who was crying as well. Pallavi looked at Ranbir & sighed.
Meanwhile in the wedding venue Aliya was sitting on a chair having water engorged in thoughts. Rhea sat beside her.
"Now you remember your buji!", Aliya stated sadly.
"C'mon buji! You have seen me since childhood, still you couldn't understand that I was pretending? I will never forgive Ms. Pragya Arora ever & I will never forget how she abounded me while I needed her the most", Rhea said.
"Just like she did few moments ago. Ran to her real daughter. Classic Pragya Arora", Aliya stated.
"Yes. Just like that. Its so easy to fool her. Thats why I just acted like I was heartbroken. I mean yes I was angry but not heartbroken for sure. I am the one who break hearts. No one can break mine. And I'll never forget the pain & humiliation Prachi & her sister caused me today. I am gonna make them fall in my feet & beg for forgiveness", Rhea wiped away he angry tears.
"Thats like my Rhea", Aliya hugged her smiling.
Rhea smiled devilishly.
"And about Ranbir, its obvious that he is mine. Not Prachi or anyone else can get him. No one. I don't give a damn if they got married or not. Ranbir will be mine only. Only mine", Aliya smiled hearing Rhea's declaration.
"And your buji will make sure of it", Aliya assured.
Its been 2hours since everyone is waiting for Prachi to regain consciousness in the the hospital. Pragya was getting impatient. Her heart was thumping out loud thinking of the possibilities about Prachi's health. She looked at Ranbir. He was resting his head on his hands while sitting on chair beside Pallavi who held him closer. The Kohlis have been there since they knew about Prachi, consoling Pragya & Shahana. Sarla couldn't get there because she was out of town due to work purpose. But she was on the way back. Pragya needed her mother. For the world she was a strong mother who would fight against any odds in her daughter's way but deep down she knew she was on the edge of breaking down.
She couldn't help but think about the events that took place today. How she was gonna get her younger daughter married while worrying about her elder daughter's whereabouts. She couldn't talk to Prachi properly due to all the wedding fiasco going on. She felt like she was failing as mother for both her daughters. Suddenly she felt so lonely. She was missing Abhi so much. Her chest was aching with pain for that.
A hand was placed on Pragya's shoulder & all she knew her pain was about to vanish.
"Abhi", She whispered.
