Hello again,
I'm back with a small preview of the 2nd and most
likely the last part of this OS. Thank you so much again for the compliments.
Please read this small Disclaimer:
There is no logic in love... actually, there's a saying... "love
is not the absence of logic, but logic examined and recalculated- heated and
curved to fit inside the contours of the heart"... so basically what I'm
saying is that for the sake of love, I had to be really unrealistic and alter
the reality of a coma recovery slightly so that it fits with the story.
What you're about to read is nowhere near logical... after a coma of
several years, it's so unlikely for the person to speak, move etc. for a while,
and it takes time to get back into the routine of normal life; but for the sake
of this OS, and for the sake of our Hero's happiness... I had to be a bit,
actually, very illogical and unrealistic. So please forgive me for the very
unrealistic portrayal of a coma recovery. In
matters of the heart, the brain is a fool...
Hope you enjoy the preview...

Just then the doctor entered the room; Ram was kneeling on the
floor next to the bed, holding Priya's hand in his- constantly giving it
kisses, while his tears soaked his cheeks. After about 10-15 minutes the doctor
completed all the check ups... And said "she's coming back to you Mr
Kapoor" and smiled... "She's breathing properly on her own now, so we
can remove the mask".
"But doctor, why isn't she opening her eyes?" He said impatiently.
"Mr Kapoor, she is in a very weak state, you've waited so long already...
Please, just wait a little longer. Just give her some time" she said,
giving him an assuring smile.
Moments later, Priya's eyes flickered open... "Ram", she whispered
weakly... But struggled to let out anything more- her voice was hoarse, barely
audible.
Ram smiled from ear to ear... His ears were yearning to hear her voice. Saath
Saal Baad, Priya ne 'Ram' kaha, Mr Kapoor nahi. Whenever she said his name,
something happened inside him, as if there were a million butterflies flying
around in his stomach. Hearing his name in her sensual voice was always a
treat, but today was different; after seven years of yearning... His ears
finally heard what he had been waiting for... She always made him wait to hear
that one word from her mouth 'Ram'... No one said it with so much love, with so
much passion, with so much care as Priya did. When someone loves you, the way
they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their
mouth. What he was feeling, was unexplainable, as happy as he was, all
he could do was cry... He cried because what he had just heard was so
beautiful. Yet again, his stomach felt the million and one butterflies
fluttering around, his heart felt as though it got it's heartbeat back, his
ears felt as though he had heard the most beautiful melody, his knees felt
weak. All this was just a small fraction of the effect Priya had on Ram. The
intensity of their love was so powerful that, although it was not visible to
others, everyone could feel it...
There was a sense of warmness that their love created, which made their love
stand out from the rest- their love was beautiful, extraordinary and unique to
say the least. Saath saal baad- there
was finally life back in their green room, their sanctuary, their kingdom; once
again, the walls of this special room were prepared to witness true love in all
its glory. Isi pal ka intezaar tha- saath saal baad, saath saal ka intezaar...
the wait was finally over.
Ram and the doctor helped her to sit up, leaning her back against the
headboard. Ram then sat on the bed, next to her, and held her hand again.
"Priya!!" He said as he exhaled, letting out a sigh of relief, while
tears fell from his eyes. "Finally! Finally my life is back! My love found
its way back. Oh Priya. I'm so happy... You're..." He paused as he saw the
look on her face- she was looking at him in a confused state, her eyebrows
scrunched as though she was focussing really hard, trying to recall something.
What Ram didn't know, was that what he would hear next would counteract the
previous feelings he felt when he heard his name from her mouth...
"Aap, I'm sorry, aap kaun?" She said in her weak, strained voice.
Ram looked at the doctor and then back at Priya. He felt a sharp pain in his
heart, the butterflies he had felt a minute ago was replaced by a sinking
feeling in the pit of his stomach. "Priya, main hoon, tumhara Ram, tumhara
pati..."
"Pati? Mera pati toh..." Priya stopped as she saw a confused Ram look
up at the doctor who had just signalled for him to step outside, so that she
could have a word with him.
A dejected, hurt and helpless Ram placed Priya's hand back on the bed, he stood
up, and as he was about to walk away, he felt something- as if something or
someone was pulling him back, he felt shivers shooting down his spine, he had Goosebumps
all over his body... they were back- the butterflies, he felt the butterflies once
again going crazy inside him... He looked down at his hand to find that Priya
had grabbed it tightly, pulling him back, stopping him in his tracks.
