Part 16 : The AfterMath
*Dedicated to Roshni Ahmed - May your soul rest in peace! *
The moon was sleeping. It was early dawn. The new day was about to begin.. and the first ray of light fell inside the dark room, slowly smoothing its light particles on her sleeping form. She was clad in a thick blanket and sounds of machines played along with the rhythm of her pulse.
As the ray of light started stroking her pale face, blur vision trailed infront of her eyes, shaking her from her deep slumber. And then her mind took her to that devastating moment of her life where- She found herself carving for more oxygen amidst those pieces of the building. blood flowing out of her body like water in the old tap. She wanted to flee and be able to breathe again. But her limbs were numb, so numb that she couldn't feel the pain of the heavy rock that was fallen on her ankle. She knew she wont last longer, but strangely she wanted to! So desperately that for the first time in that night, she was ready to fight for herself.
And then came a wish, a wish she wished taking heavy breaths. A wish that every little girl was told stories about! A wish that some prince would come and sweep her off her feet and take her to the land of love! Surprisingly, she wanted her prince to come.
She never knew God could hear her, she never knew there would be a day when her wish would come true! When she was thirteen, she had wished seeing a shooting star, that someday her soulmate shall come and carry her away from the danger in the bridal style. Such a stupid wish, she had once thought. But today she wished the same wish again. And may be it was time for it to come true.
Because when she blinked her eyes, she saw light and he emerged out of nowhere. He hurried towards her throwing off all the things that made her bleed and she stared deeply into those eyes. Those almond eyes, which were very hypnotizing! Before she went blank, she felt herself being lifted in the arms of that man.
Nandini opened her eyes suddenly. Her body was in deep pain, and she could finally feel it. She couldn't get up, her abdomen held a huge bandage and she felt there might be a deep cut there. And then she noticed a head that was rested on her bed, to her right. Unknowingly a smile crept on her lips, stroking his silky hair she smiled again. It wasn't a dream, it was reality. He had infact saved her! like a damsel in distress, she had been in his arms.
Cold palm running through his hair, made him jerk from his sleep. His eyes flew open to see another pair of eyes doting on him. He wanted to scream, yell, hug her! he wanted to hold her so tight that he would never let her go, or let her get hurt. The smile in their faces was enough to convey the promise, a promise to stay together-forever.
She hadn't realized that she had been sleeping for 7 days, he hadn't realized that he didn't eat in 7 days. Everyone had left hopes of her survival, afterall who would survive after being buried under the fallen building? but she did! when he had found her, all he could see was her eyes that were blinking at him; asking him to save her, to take her away from all the pain her body and mind was enduring. And he had done just that. But she never cared to acknowledge his efforts, for she had been in so deep slumber that she lost her touch to the world. And they said, she was in coma.
He had cried so badly previous night when doctors had told she wont survive, he too somewhere had lost the hopes until first time in his life he had a made wish. A wish that, she would see him again! He had promised to himself that he would lock her in his eyes and never let her go away. And that's exactly what had happened!

I dont know how to react or what to say, frankly i haven't spoken to her much, but due to our common fandom, we knew each other. i knew her existence and also that she was a sweetheart!
With all my heart wish her soul Rests in peace, Dear Roshni you shall be missed! May god give strength to your family to bare your physical absense! you will always be in our hearts.
I am sorry if you guys felt a little odd about my lil speech, but those words were what came from my heart.
