FF PV.Jindegi ki Talash -- Pt 10 Updated on page 136 - Page 13

Arti got very panicked to see RD crying.She felt so worried for yash that her hands were shaking. Is Yash ok? Oh God !!!!! Nothing can happen to my Yash. Plz God save my Yash...

Arti : What happened Kaka? Is Yash fine ?

RD : No Bitya. Wo Yash baba...but he couldn't complete his sentence and started crying.

Arti felt that the sky had fallen on her and someone has pulled the earth under her feet. She left the glass of milk from her hand and rushed to outhouse.

RD : Bitya it's raining so heavily. You will get wet. Take the umbrella''

But Arti had no time to waste. She was running to outhouse. It was raining so heavily that nothing could be seen from a small distance. The wind was blowing with terrible force. The sky was like burning with heavy lightening. Arti was running to outhouse. Her inner storm was so strong and powerful that this heavy rain, groaning thunder , terrible wind , fiery lightening nothing could stop her to go to Yash. She could ignore the whole world to reach her Yash.

Yash don't worry. I am coming to you. Your Arti is coming to you Yash . Nothing will happen to you. I wont let anything happen to you. I know that I was rude to you but that doesn't mean I don't care about you Yash....Arti's tears were getting mixed with the rain drops but it's warmth made her realize that Yash still exists within her...his love is still living in her breath.

When Arti reached at outhouse she was totally drenched. She ran to Yash's room and was shocked to see him. Yash was lying on the bed grabbing his head . He was moaning in pain. Arti rushed to Yash and sat beside him.

Arti : Yash , what happened to you ? What's wrong with you Yash?

But Yash didn't reply to Arti.It seemed that he was not in a state to reply her. He was struggling on the bed holding his head. Arti put her hand Yash's forehead and got afraid to see that his body was burning in fever.

Arti : Yash what happened to you ? Open your eyes Yash. Look at me. See I have come to you. Your Arti has come to you Yash...

Yash was struggling with that killing pain so badly that he was almost losing his sense. When Arti called his name Yash thought that he was dreaming. Even in this state he was again and again thinking of Arti...longing for her single touch. When he actually felt that touch on his forehead he just found it blissful and thought that it's all his dream. Yash held Arti's hand and felt that life was still breathing in him. Yash forced himself not to open his eyes coz he was afraid that if he opened his eyes then this beautiful dream would be no more. There would be only the darkest and cruelest reality to bite him. Yash's hand was trembling but even after that he was holding Arti's hand so tightly that he was holding his life and began to whisper"...dont leave me ...I cant leave without you ...You cant be the part of my life but be in my dream alz Arti..."

Arti became very scared to see Yash's condition. His whisperper was coming too slowly that she couldn't understand anything but when Yash uttered her name she was just shocked. "In this state of health you are uttering my name but why Yash...?"

Arti went very close to Yash and patted on his face to bring him back on sense.

Arti: Yash,I am here . You just open your eyes and look at me Yash. Tell me what happened to you'for God's sake Yash open your eyes." Arti couldn't control herself anymore and broke into tears.

The droplets of water from Arti's hair were falling on Yash's face . He then opened his eyes and found that Arti was crying. She was so close to Yash that he could feel the warmth of her breath. The fragrance of Arti's body, her wet hair ,her pink lips all these made yash forget all his pain for a moment. He felt that a PARI has come to him from heaven to remove all his pains. He was so mesmerized to Arti's beauty that he couldn't stop himself to touch her. Yash removed the small hair from her face and touched her check. He touched his Arti after 6 years and felt that that blissful warmth again. But suddenly he remembered all the venomous words spitted by Arti yesterday. Yash felt a terrible pain as well as anger within him. He just pushed Arti from himself and got up.

Arti was happy to see Yash opening his eyes. She saw that Yash's eyes were so red that it seemed blood would come out of them but even after that she could feel the desire , the passion in them. There was so much longing in those brown colored eyes that Arti couldn't stop herself from looking at them. But then she found that something was changing. That passion ,that longing turned into extreme anger. And after that she was just shocked to see that Yash pushed her. She found that Yash was trying to get up from bed. Arti quickly held Yash and stopped him...

Arti : What are you trying to do? Why are you trying to get up while you are so week?

Yash removed Arti's hand with a jerk and said "Who called you here and what the hell are you doing in my room? "

Yash's voice was almost broken but the anger and anguish was still there. It hurt Arti so much that she couldn't believe it was Yash who was talking to her like this. Tears rolled down from her cheek.

Arti : You have fever Yash . You were suffering here alone. When RD kaka told me about your condition I just came to ...

But Yash didn't let her finish and said " And you just came to what Arti... to see my sufferings or to show me pity ?

Arti : Why are you talking like this? I came here because I was worried.

Yash : You don't need to worry for me. I don't need it. Plz go from here.

It was getting impossible for Yash to bear that extreme pain. But he couldn't express it before Arti. He tried to get down from bed but everything was moving before him. Yash couldn't control himself and was going to fall but Arti held his arm and put him on bed again.

Yash felt so week that he couldn't protest Arti. He just grabbed his head and said in moaning tone " I don't need your support Arti. Just leave me and go away from here.

Arti felt so helpless to see Yash suffering like this. She couldn't realize what should she do? She went close to him and held his hand "Yash are you ok?

Yash : Arti I said go.

Meanwhile RD came running and said "Arti bitya I tried to call the doctor but due to the storm all the lines are dead."

Arti : Kaka first go bring a bowl of water and towel'.and bring my mobile also.

Yash tried to get up again and said "Why don't you listen to me? I am fine .I don't need your care. Just go from here."

But Arti grabbed Yash's hand and forcefully put him on bed. She sat beside him so that he couldn't get up again.

Arti : Kaka plz go fast and bring the towel and water. Yash's body is burning with fever.

Arti saw that RD ran to bring the towel. But Yash was almost shivering coz of high fever. So Arti held her pallu as it was wet. She was going to put it on his forehead but before she could do so Yash stopped her.

Yash : Why are you doing all this for me. You cant tolerate my existence then why this concern for me?

Arti : Have u finished saying what you had to say? Now for God's sake stop and let me do my job.

Arti placed her pallu on his forehead. Yash was trying to say something but Arti put her finger on his lips.

Arti : Don't utter a single word. Don't you realize how much sick you are...?

Yash still couldn't believe that it was Arti who was so caring for him.

RD brought the bowl of water and towel and put it on the bed side table.

Arti : Kaka,Yash has not eaten anything from last night. We cant give him any medicine without food. So plz go and bring the first aid box and hot milk for Yash.

RD : I have told Radha to boil milk. Take your phone and try to call the doctor. I'll get the milk.

Arti took her mobile and tried to call the doctor but the network was busy. So she left it and took the wet towel to put on Yash's head.

Yash : I told you to go .Why are you still here?

Arti was changing the towel again and again as it was dried up in the extreme heat of Yash's body. She put her hand on his cheek and chest to measure the temperature and found that the heat was increasing.

Yash : I have asked you something. Why have you come here?

Arti : You were having such high fever. Why didn't you inform anyone?

Yash : Why should I inform anyone? You told me so many times that I am an outsider here and I have no right on this family. So how could I let you bother like an outsider like me?

Arti got the taste of her own medicine . It was she who alz reminded Yash that he was not a part but an extra burden for Sindhia family but when Yash reminded her all those she felt very ashamed. She had no word to express what he actually feel for him...

Art : Yes, I have told you outsider but you should have thought about Ma and Bauji. They consider you as their son.

Yash gave Arti such a smile which was full of smirk and said "Life is so strange na ,Arti? Once I was their elder son. Being Sindhia was my identity and now they consider me as their son."

Arti : You know it very well that Ma and Bauji are not responsible for all these. It was you who made them ashamed . They have given you everything yash , every happiness but it was you who gave them nothing but tears.

Arti was going to put the wet towel on Yash forehead but Yash held her hand and said "While you think I am so worse then why this concern for me? You think I have given you all only tears. Ok fine. Now let me bear all these alone .You don't need to think about me. I don't need your pity."

Arti felt very ashamed on her words. Yash was so much sick and she should not have talked like this to him.

Arti : Stop talking yash. You are having high fever. Let me put the towel on your forehead.

Yash : Stop showing this fake care and concern Arti. I am the orphan who is bearing someone's dirty blood. It doesn't suit you to come very close to me.

Arti thought that there was only one feeling left in her for Yash and that was hatred. She vowed not to think about him, not to care about him. She hurt Yash only to made herself realize that she hate Yash. But now each and every word spoken by Yash was hurting Arti like a dagger... I know I have hurt you a lot Yash. I shouldn't have told about your birth. But trust me Yash I didn't mean to say that. At that moment I was so upset that I put all my frustration on you but it doesn't mean that I don't care for you Yash. I wanted to give you pain but I how can I say that I cant see suffer like this. Arti felt to take Yash in her arm and told him what her heart trying to say silently...

RD came and put the milk and the first aid box on the side table.Arti quickly wiped out her tears.

RD : How is Yash Baba now?

Arti : The fever is still very high. Kaka ,my phone is not working .If the rain stop then you plz go to call a doctor. But now keep trying through the land line and tell Radha to be with Ansh . he is afraid of thunder.

RD : "You don't worry. I am trying to call the doctor"...and he left.

Arti took the thermometer from the FD box and measured Yash's temperature. It was 104*.Yash was closing his eyes. The intensity of the pain was so high that it was getting impossible for him to hide it from Arti...I missed my appointment my checkup yesterday . I should inform doctor Kurian about the pain .But Arti is still here. How can I call him in front of her?

Arti : Yash get up and take the medicine with milk.

Yash opened his eyes and saw that there were some tablets in Arti's hand. Yash didn't understand what should he tell Arti?

Arti : Yash take the medicine. Don't know when the doctor will come. The storm is still ongoing. We cant wait any more.

Yash : I'll take them later. You plz go.

Arti : Not later. You will have to take it now.

Yash didn't know what to do. He cant take medicine nor he can tell Arti anything.

Arti : What are you thinking. Take the medicine with milk. You will feel better.

Yash : Stop doing all these Arti. I told you to go. Will you ever listen listen to me?

Arti :Even I am not having fun to be with you here. You take the medicine then I'll go. Arti was getting annoyed to see Yash's stubbornness not to take medicine. So she forced Yash to have the tablets.

Yash : I wont take any medicine from you. Dont you see that I am not liking your presence here?

The harsh tone and rude words of Yash made Arti very angry especially the line that he don't want to take any medicine from her hand. I am dying in tension for your health and you are not ready to take medicine from my hand. Why this arrogance Yash...

Arti : Stop behaving like a kid. If you want to seek the attention of others then there are so many ways.But for God's sake stop using your illness.

Yahs knew that Arti would give him some harsh reply for his rude behavior but the accusation that he is using his illness was shocking for him. But this time he didn't feel hurt but a devastating thought came to his mind...Arti , you have never tried to understand me. My love , loyalty, emotion all had no value for you. I was rude to you coz I was helpless but how did you raise question on my suffering? How could you say that I am pretending all these only to seek your attention? I had alz been an easy target for you but not anymore. Lets finish the game here...

Yash : So you think I am doing all these only to seek your attention...right?

Arti bit her lower lip and hesitated to reply as she even didn't believe what she said to Yash. Yash's stubbornness and rude attitude made her angry and she told all like that but she knew that her accusation was not true.

Arti : You know your temperature is more than 104* and you are refusing to take medicine. It's almost been 24 hours you haven't even taken any food. If there is not anything like that then stop being stubborn and have medicine. Don't worry. I am not giving you poison.

Yash looked at Arti with a cold smile and then took the medicine and milk from her. You don't know Arti you have just said the opposite. You think that you have given me medicine without knowing they are poison for me...Yash then had the pills.

Yash : Arti you are fully wet .Go to change otherwise you also fall ill and may be that time I wont be here to be accused for your illness.

Arti looked at Yash with surprise. She didn't get the meaning of his words. Arti felt happy that he noticed she was wet and was caring about her but at the same time there was something in his voice which made her a little tensed. Arti took the glass from his hand and pulled the blanket over him and said "You try to sleep .I'll be back after changing."

Arti was about to go then suddenly Yash held her hand and said "Arti wait"

Arti was so surprised to see yash doing this again after six years. She remembered how Yash would hold her hand and tell her to wait when Arti was about togo after their meeting. Every time he did this and when she asked him why he would say... " don't leave me Arti"

Arti : Why Yash? Arti didn't know why but she was expecting the same ans from yash.

Yash looked at her for a while and said "Nothing Arti .You go."

Arti was leaving theroom then she looked back at Yash and saw that he was looking at her. There was a strange look in his eyes and a mysterious smile on his face. Arti didn't know why but she felt like running to Yash and hold him tightly in her arms. But sometimes there is a huge rift between man's desire and reality. Arti put the light off and went...

********************************

Aman : Arpita ,where are you?

Aman returned home and searched Arpita but she wasn't in her room. Aman went to study room, kitchen and at last on terrace but Arpita was nowhere. Aman wondered here has she gone? Then he went to the garden and found Arpita sitting there alone.

Aman : Hey Arpita...what are you doing here? It's too cold . Lets go inside.

But Arpita didn't reply. Yash sat beside Arpita and held her hand. "What happened "

Arpita : Yash doesn't love me. HE doesn't care for me Aman... Her voice was broken and eyes were filled with tears.

Aman : What rubbish! You know it's not true. Then why are you saying like this?

Arpita : Then why didn't he receive my call? Just send a message that he is fine and that's all...

Aman laughed at her childish attitude. Now a days Arpita has become too sensitive. May be it's coz of her hormonal change in pregnancy. He caresses her hair and said "May be he was busy Arpita and that's why didn't receive your call. You know how much serious Yash is about his work.

Arpita : But how can he ignore me for work Aman? He knows that my life is incomplete without him then why?

Aman : I can understand your pain Arpita and trust me Yash cares for you even more than his own life. But may be now he is busy in some serious otherwise you know he wouldn't go to India especially when you are pregnant.

Arpita : For that reason I am more angry with him Aman. There is nothing left for him in India. Everything is finished there and you know the time doctor gave us has been passed. HE should be hospitalized as early as possible.

Aman got also tensed for Yash. Doctor gave only three months which has been already passed. He should do the surgery immediately. "Ok let me talk to Akash as he is there with him.

Aman dialed the no "Hello Akash...!"

Akash : Hey Aman! How are you yaar? How did you remember me?

Aman smiled and said "Don't say like that dost. You know Yash is India and I'm handling both office and house. Passing a very tough time yaar.

Akash : Ok ,you are forgiven for last time.BTW how is Arpita? Has she become more fatty?

Aman laughed and said " Madam showing me mood swing. It's really very tough to handle her without Yash.

Akash : Ya .Only Yash can handle her.

Aman : Akash, is Yash with you? He is not receiving any call and Arpita is getting vey tensed.

Akash : Yash came here but now he is in Bhopal.

Aman : What ..? Yash is in Bhopal but why?

Aman : Mr.Sindhia was in a big trouble for that Prashant and when Yash came to know of it he came here to help him. You know how much Yash loves his family.

Aman was talking standing far from Arpita but suddenly he felt her hand on his shoulder.

Arpita : What did Akash say?

Aman put the phone quickly and said "Yash is fine. He is with Akash."

Sorry Arpita I told you lie but I had no other option. I cant tell you that Yash is in Bhopal. You had lost your child once. I cant let it happen again.

********************************

Arti was changing her cloth but all the time Yash's face was coming before her eyes...What was there in his eyes and why that smile making me bother for him. What is going on his mind ? Arti touched her hand and thought why he held my hand like he did before ? What did he want to say? I could read his eyes so well then why they were so mysterious today?

Arti came to Ansh's room to see him. He was still sleeping. Arti kissed Ansh and went to kitchen to cook something for Yash. But all the time there was only one person in her imagination and he was none other than Yash. After cooking Arti served the food on plate and told Radha to bring them to outhouse.

When Arti reached at Yash room there was and unknown fear in her mind.Arti didn't know why but she was getting nervous. She switched on the light and was terribly shocked to see Yash lying on the floor unconscious.

Arti screamed "YASH...
