Hey peeps
I wanted to incorporate the fainting scene in my story but I wanted it after the marriage and not before. So here it is. Not proof read though pls excuse all mistakes and do tell me if u liked it.
Sorry it's a bit too short
The fresh fregrance of flowers were tingling near her nostrils. There was lights and flowers all over the place. All around her were dressed beautifully in formal clothes but herself. Pallavi was in a simple yellow saree completely heartbroken seated in the mandap with Raghav Rao right next to her in a bright orange shirt n white sarong. She had been blackmailed to agree to the marriage in return of bailing Nikhil from the smuggling case. She had tried everything to save Nikhil but failed in all and had no other option but agree to Raghav's condition. Nikhil was been released at this very moment she is seated in the mandap and that was the only positive thought in her dark life.
The pandith was reciting the mantra, 'kuch aur dher' said Pallavi to herfelf. The Pandith asked them to take the pheras and Raghav stood up but she couldn't. Raghav lifted her to the standing position and asked her to walk behind him. 'Kuch aur dher' said Pallavi to herself again.
Raghav looked at Pallavi's calm face and a chill ran down his spine. Something didn't look correct, something was happening beyond his plans, that's the look he saw on her face. 'What has this picchi ammayi plotted now' thought Raghav. The pheras came to an end and he put the mangal sutra on her.
Pallavi could see Raghav bringing the sindoor to apply on her maang and everything was going dark around her as she closed her eys. She could feel his fingers on her maang and little dribble of sindoor on her nose 'aur ab sab khatham' thought she as she was tethering at the last bits of her sanity and everything sank in to darkness as she stopped feeling at all.
As Raghav applied sindoor he noticed Pallavi's eyes closed and she was sinking to the floor, he moved fast and caught her from her waist and lifted her in his arms. A totally unconscious Pallavi's head was dangling to the side and he carried her to the room immediately.
Amma, Keerthi and Farhad gathered along with a glass of water. 'Kya huwa Pallavi ko?' Asked a worried Keerthi. Raghav took the water from her and splashed it on Pallavi to no avail there was no response at all. And now Raghav was getting worried. 'Yeh kya?' Asked Amma in fear pointing at Pallavi's mouth. There was foam coming out of her mouth and Raghav's fear reflected on his face. 'Hai Deva..... is bachchi ne tho....' Amma couldn't even complete her lines. 'Farhad.... doctor.....' shouted Raghav.
The doctor was summoned after explaining their suspicions. He came with his complete team and equipments as Raghav didn't want to take Pallavi to the hospital. The medical team has been attending to Pallavi for the past hour and Raghav was becoming impatient with every second.
The doctor finally came out and confirmed their suspicion. 'Haan unhonhe zahar ka li hai, humne zahar tho nikhal diya par unki bohoth zyada khayal rakhna padenga.... patient dobara koshish kar sakthe hai. Tho khayal rahe ke unhe akela nahi chodneka' he said looking concerned.
Amma sank in to the closest chair and exclaimed 'kya sochi thi aur kya hogaya.... maine bas subkuch sahi karne ke liye yeh faisla liya tha..... par us bachchine apni jaan dene ki koshish ki....' she was in tears. Raghav came to his Amma to console her but she pushed him away 'yeh sub tere wajah se tho hai... us bachchi ki iss halaath ki wajah tu hai' she said and walked out of that room.
Pallavi regained consciousness and couldn't recollect where she was. Then it all came to her crushing her insides out. She felt bile rising in her and she turned to her side and to her surprise Raghav was standing next to her ready to help her. She puked in to whatever he was holding for her and sat back wiping her face. Raghav went to the washroom put away her mess, came back and sat with her. She was surprised to see him like that. And then she realized her plan had not worked, she was still very much alive though sick to her stomach. She didn't want to talk to him at all.
Raghav on the other hand was shaken completely, he knew her as the fighter, the never giving up soul, the woman who had the will to stand against The Raghav Rao. But what he saw today scared him a lot. And Raghav Rao isn't afraid of anything, but this.... this is not something he was prepared for. 'Tum kaisa feel kartha hai ab?' He asked. Pallavi was taken aback by this concered query, she didn't want to respond or talk at all... 'Hmmm' is all what she could muster. 'Tum ab so jao, doctor ne kahan ke rest karna hai' said Raghav not exactly looking at her 'Main yaha baita hai, kuch chahiye tho batha dena' he added.
Pallavi rested her head on the pillow and shut her eyes dragging the blanket close to her. Raghav sat down on the recliner closeby and rested his head on his arms folded behind with his legs stretched and crossed. Both of them well aware of each others scrutiny and had the same thought on their mind 'Ab kya hoga?'
