Vickram tucked the sheet over his sleeping wife's form, thinking whatever the doctors gave her had to be strong as she did not awaken once while he changed her clothes and cleaned her up...looking at her lying there helpless and unconscious , cursing himself and his carelessness, he left her to do the same himself, joining her on the bed a while later.
He hoped to get some rest in his weary body. But his mind would not stop racing, a million thoughts running through his brain. How many times have he hurt her before? intentionally or unintentionally and he did it again.
It was an accident Vickram his brain said...
Yes an accident that could have taken her life? another part of him said.
He closed his eyes trying to shut out the thoughts and his growing guilt.
"I am so sorry Sugni." He whispered.
Sugni let out a soft sigh, "Takur malick" She said ...
He looked at her thinking she was waking up but she seemed to be very much asleep , she forrowed her brows together like she wa s thinking...
"Nahi nahi...Vickram!.." She turned lightly placing her hands over his chest and resting her head on his shoulder...
"Mere Vickram Babu..." she smiled
Recalling all the convincing and coaxing it took to get her to use that name Vickram smiled..
"I am right here!" He whispered , placing a soft kiss on her forehead.
The ringing of his phone awoke him from his sleep a while later. Looking at the caller Id he answered the pone :
"Vakeel saab!" (MR. Lawyer) , hold on.
He got up not wanting to disturb Sugni, he made his way down stairs and out to the parking lot, he really did not want to upset Kuhu either...
"Yes Vakeel Saab, good thing you returned my call I was going to call you again later today..."
Vickram proceeded to tell the Lawyer about Kuhu and the divorce...
