Abhay

I found a hand on my shoulder, I turned around to saw my mom sitting nxt to me , I hugged her n started crying, I was literally crying, I couldn't bear dt pain, she was lying there inside, fighting for her life , y d hell all this happening to us, y GOD is punishing her, i was d one who treated her so badly, then y she, is she paying for my faults or in directly HE is punishing me!!!!

Abhay, look docs r operating on her, nothing wl happen, mom said, although she was nt sure of her own words, I was sensing it through d cracks in her voice!!

Mom I wl die, if nything happens to her, mom I love her so much, I cn't see her like this, she has to fight for her life, for me, for my love, for my apologize, I said all while crying!!

Dad brought me a glass of water n mom made me drink it!!!

Abhay u need to change ur clothes- dad said after sometime!! I silently looked down n saw my shirt was painted wid her blood, I closed my eyes n tear rolled down my cheek again " she was gtng down slowly n my mind went blank, d moment I realized wat damage jeh's wild act done, I found my life was crashing down infront of my eyes!!I held her while gng down on my knees, my hands literally shivering, she was looking at me wid her baby eyes, which were filled wid pain n tears n slowly she lost her conscious n I saw her lying there all covered wid blood!!!

………………………………

Dad I won't b going ny where, I simply replied n he didn't argue wid me!!!

Soon pia's parents arrived, I could hear her mother's sobbing bt kept sitting there all numb, widout responding to their several questions which were for me bt they were asking frm my parents!! Their daughter was hanging b/w life n death coz of me, dt shoot was planned for me, bt destiny played its game , a dirty game!!

pia u cn't leave me, u av to fight for me, I m being very selfish, bt come back, I won't b able to live widout u, come back so dt I cn tell how much I love u- I kept on thinking all this , those 3 hours turned out to b d longest 3 hrs of my life!!

Docs came out of operation theatre, I didn't move frm my place, my legs were nt supporting me, then I heard pia's dad's voice "howz my daughter doc"!! I felt my heart stopped beating for few minutes, fear crept down inside me, I was praying silently to GOD n then finally I took a deep breath , when he said- ur daughter is fine, although it wl take a long time to get her recovered, coz she has lost lots of blood n of course wounds will take time to heal!! Nw she needs loadsss of care n rest, she is very week n she wl re-gain her consciousness widin 3-4 hours !!!

N then I heard him calling for me- "if u don't mind, I would love to c her husband!!!

Everyone looked at him wid suspicious eyes , when he assured them nthing serious, just want to av some talk wid him!!

I stood at my place, he came to me n smiled a little n said- mr.raichand, u don't need to b worried, ur wife is totally fine nw, believe me she is very strong n nw she only needs ur care n love wid medicines on time, while placing his hand on my shoulder, I gave a little smile to him n said thanx a lot doc!!

Cn I see her-I asked almost pleading him!!

He smiled a little again n said sure, bt let us shift her to her room first, till then would u mind cmng wid!!

I simply nodded n followed him!!

D soon I entered his room, I asked – is there nything serious doc??

Take ur seat abhay n don't get worried so much, as I told u she is fine n out of danger, I just want to av a talk wid u, first u take ur seat!!

I was nt much satisfied wid his answer bt took my seat as per his request n he started-abhay u find it bit strange bt u need to understand this !!

I was nt getting wat he was saying!!

Abhay pia is physically injured dts v all knw as its visible bt in her case, u need to understand dt this type of incidents generally left its memories in person's mind, so wid pia, to wat xtent this incident has shaken her I cn't tel u dt, bt of course there cn b some effects!! So being her husband, its ur duty, to make her feel secure, although I cn say she is very strong bt still u need to b carefull around her!!

I simply nodded n left his cabin, somewhere I knew this incident has completely shaken her, dt I had seen, jeh was her frnd whatever circumstances led to this whole thing, I m equally responsible for it, I entered her room while thinking abt wat doc said!!

There she was on bed properly covered under sheets, all surrounded by heavy instruments, her mouth was covered wid oxygen mask , she was sleeping , I always loved to see her while sleeping, bt today I wanted her to wake up, wanted her to talk to me, wanted her to say those 3 words again which I heard there n dt moment shoot back in my memory!!

My mom came n made me sit nxt to her on a round stool, she was looking so pale n week

I held back my emotions somehw, everyone was there, mom called up a servant n he brought few clean shirts for me , I went n changed my shirt n came back quickly, dad took all of us to d hospital canteen n made us eat something, i was nt ready to av nything bt after much of persuasions frm everyone I hd few bites!!doc told us dt only one of us cn stay wid pia as per d rules , so they all left, leaving me behind wid her, they knew very well there is no point of discussing on this thing who wl stay wid her, bf4 leaving mom came n kissed my forehead n said- u too tc of urself !!

I again took my seat nxt to her, I didn't realize for how long I kept looking at her while taking her hands in mine!!

I quickly lifted my head frm d bed when I felt a little movement in her fingers, I saw her gaining conscious, I rang d bell to call someone, soon doc n a sister came there, she was still in semi-conscious condition, finally after 15 minutes she came out of her long sleep, bt d moment she came out, her eyes twitched n lips folded in pain, she slowly moved her hand near her stomach, her eyes were still closed!!!

Doc called her name n she opened her eyes, it took her few minutes to recognize her surroundings, finally her search came to an end when her eyes found me, v kept looking at each other for few seconds, when doc asked- how r u feeling pia??

She turned her gaze towards him n smiled a little giving him assurance dt she was fine nw !!

I knw pia, ur injury must b hurting u, bt it wl take some time n v cn't keep u on pain killers 24*7!!

She again smiled a little n bf4 leaving doc said, dt she is very lucky to av me as her husband n I found it so ironical, coz of me she was there in bed all struggling wid her pain n he was saying she is lucky, bt dt shift in her gaze towards me mark a full stop on my thoughts, there she was holding love for me!!!

Doc n sis left d room leaving behind two of us, , there was an awkward silence gt spread there in d room, I was standing few feets away frm her bed, she gave a faint smile to me n me did d same , it was so strange, then I saw her trying to adjust herself , I quickly moved towards her n held her frm her shoulder n she kept looking at me n so did i, then I asked her, actually nt asking I told her-let me help u, she remained quiet for sometime n then said, I want to sit!!!

I held her gently n made her sit , she clutched my shirt in pain,when burden of her body shifted towards her stomach n closed her eyes, she took few deep breaths n looked at me n said slowly- thanx!!!

I gave a forced smile coz seeing her in so much pain causing pain to me

………………………………………………..

Pia's pov

He made me sit properly, his grip on my shoulder was so gentle dt I could feel dt care in his touch, I smiled n said thanx to him, bt I realized dt he was putting a fake smile on his face, he quickly turned his gaze n tried to move away, although there was no strength in my body, even nt to held his wrist bt I did n he turned slowly n wat I saw was something I never wished, I saw fresh tears in his deep blue ocean eyes, abhayyy-it came out of my mouth!!

He took my hand in his n sat nxt to me on my bed nly !!

His eyes were n down n then he said wid guilt filled voice- I m sry, I m very sry pia n I saw tears were falling frm his eyes!!

It made me feel wretched , I gathered my strength again n lifted my hands, needles in them were literally causing pain ,bt pain f looking him like dt was much more, I cupped his face n made him look at me-bt instead of looking at me, he hugged me like a child n I didn't knw how to react, how to console him, he said- I m sry pia, its all coz of me u r here, believe me I never wanted this, if nything had happened to u, I would av died!!!

Abhayyy don't say this, look I m totally fine, don't cry plsss- I said, after few minutes he separated himself frm me n this time he looked at me, I smiled a little n then wiped his tears n to change his mood I said- u look reli bad while crying n finally I saw a smile on his face, bt wat he did nxt moment was totally unexpected he gently took my face in his hands n slowly planted a soft kiss on my forehead, I closed my eyes, d emotions I gt dt moment in my heart were totally inexpressible!!!

I peevish a little, as sister entered our room , she gave a warm smile to me !!

I should inform mom-dad- abhay said n stood frm d bed , I just nodded my head coz ,y mind was still occupied wid his thoughts, my heart literally grew d moment his lips touched my skin, bt still I was confused!!!!

Abhay went outside to make dt call , I came out of my thoughts when sis asked me for ny help or something like dt!!

Hmmm, cn I use washroom- I asked quite hesitantly!!

Ya sure ma'am, let me call ur husband- she said!

Nooo- I almost shouted , my eyes pepped out of sockets, like I heard something horrible, she was looking at me wid those strange xpressions, then I realized wat I did, I gasped a little n tried to cover my words- ummm, I mean he is outside , busy on some call, so dts y!! she was still holding those suspicious expressions, bt she said- ok , then let me call out someone else for help!!

I took a deep breath, wat I did, I thought to myself, abhay is ur husband pia, no, I mean yes, bt , I myself going in n out of my stupid thoughts, wen I saw him entering through d main door n behind him, dt sister!!

Ma'am , ur husband is done wid his call, so he cn help u nw- she said!!

I looked at abhay wid those confused n helpless xpressions bt wat surprised me most dt he was looking very comfortable!!

He came towards me, my eyes were stuck on him, n d very nxt moment he picked my gently in his strong arms n led towards washroom , thankfully it was provided inside my room only!!

He made me sit on a medical chair inside d washroom n left!!!

…………………………………………………………

Abhay pov

I found dt uneasiness in her eyes, when sister informed her dt I m all free nw n ready to help, I should av felt bad n somewhere I hd coz of her act of covering d thing by saying dt I m busy, bt then I knew dt nw its my turn to make things work b/w us nt just as best frnds bt as husband-wife!!

Her eyes were on me, I gave her a little smile n somewhere I was enjoying all this, her confused baby xpressions were so adorable, I picked her in my arms n took her to d washroom, I so wanted to thanx dt sister, coz I was sure if she shouldn't av been there pia wouldn't allow me to do dt n I was just looking for this one step!!!

Finally sister came out f d washroom, I went inside n found her there , I brought her back n adjusted her on d bed properly!!

Ma'am, u need to av something , so dt I cn give u medicine n doc has told me to make u drink some soup!!

D moment she said, I saw those frowned xpressions on her face, I knew dt how much she hated soup n all this non-food type items!!

Sister cn av something else, she asked in a pleading tone, I mean soup in such early morning!!

Sry ma'am I cn't help in this, u av to take it-she said!!

Bt, she was about to say something when I cut her in d b/w n said, sister u go n bring it, I wl make sure she av it!!

Pia looked at me wid those stern xpressions n said- abhay, u knw na how much I hate soup, then y, I m ready to av nything else bt nt soup!!

I felt so happy seeing her like dt, dt was my pia, my best frnd pia!!

Bt pia, here its nt abt taste, its abt ur health, so keep quiet , u r gng to av it ,dts it-I said!!

Fine, only at one condition, sister plss bring two bowls of soup n make sure d one wl b mushroom soup, abhay's favourite, she said while raising her eye-brows n giving a smirk to me!!

SHIT, came out of my mouth, mushroom soup, NOOO, I almost chuckled

Btr don't mess wid me abhay raichand, she said holding pride in her voice!!

Dt moment, I felt alive again, looking at her like dt, it was since ages I hdn't seen this pia n then I thought of playing wid her n said- fine, mrs, pia abhay raichand, ur condition accepted!!!

N d moment I said, I saw dt change in her xpressions, sister left d room n she gave me a meek smile n turned her gaze, bt I was nt in a mood to loose, so I kept staring , I could feel she was nt comfortable wid dt thing, so to distract me, she asked- when wl b mom-dad comg abhay!!!

I smiled n replied- they wl come widin an hour!!

After sometime, a boy came wid two bowls of soup n passed it to me, I said thanz to him n paid d amount!!

I kept d tray on side table n took two clean towels n placed one on her lap n other one down her neck, covering her front properly, then I started feeding her,I was well aware of her every reaction to my acts, I realized , her curls were disturbing her alot, again n again she was tucking them behind her ears, I placed dt bowl of soup on d side table n then I took out my handkerchief as I knew I wouldn't find out a rubber band or something like dt der, she was looking puzzled, I bent down a little n as expected she quickly shifted a little back , our faces were just few inches away n I looked at her, I could feel her heart racing n I just smiled to her n again concentrated on my work

Which was actually getting difficult coz of her takes n closeness , i collected her thick curls n tied them loosely , d moment my finger touched her neck , i felt something different, its nt I never touched her bf4 or went so close, bt today it was reli different, for once I thought , isn't verything going to fast, bt then it was nt , it was just I realized it too late, it was all there in me for her!!!
