Chapter 6A.N - I am so sorry to all my readers, I said I would post yesterday, but am only posting now. I was trying to find my groove again. So here is the next update, scheming, plotting and a whole lot of SuKor! Enjoy!
Suraj couldn't hear anything beside the beating of his heart as he moved towards Verma. Nothing beyond killing the man with his bare hands was running through his mind. It only took him 2 hard punches before Verma blacked out. He would've gone further had it not been his mother's insistent voice calling out Chakor's name.
He rushed to his wife's side and took her limp and bloody body in his arms carefully. Her eyes were half open as she looked up at him and frantically started shouting out as fear coursed through his body. "Chakor! Chakor! Apni aankhe kulli rakho Chakor! Chakor!" He lightly tapped her face, but it was no use as Chakor's eyes closed and succumbed to unconsciousness.
Suraj began to panic as he started to shout at some of the officers, "Jaldi ek ambulance ko bulao! Abhi JALDI!" He then felt someone gripping his shoulder and he turned to face his mother. She looked at him with pained eyes as she spoke, "Chakor ko kuch nahi hoga beta. Woh kabhi tume chor kar..." But she was cutoff as Suraj saw Vivaan running towards them as he shouted out Chakor's name. Suraj felt anger and fear both course through him as Vivaan attempted to take Chakor out of his arms. "Apne hath apne hi paas rakho. Meri biwi ko hath lagane ki koshish bhi mat karna." He glared furiously at him. Uski kaise himmat hui, hummare Chakor ko haath lagane ki. Suraj didn't even realize how he had claimed her.
That was when the ambulance arrived. Suraj gingerly picked up Chakor being careful of her bullet wound which he had tried to patch up with a piece of cloth given to him by his mother. The paramedics were rushing out with a stretcher and Suraj laid Chakor down on it. Him and his mother filed into the back of the ambulance. Vivaan went to follow but was stopped at Suraj's glare. "Tum police ke saath jail jao, aur lawyer saab ko boola lo." With that, they closed the door and began the rush to the hospital.
The ride to the hospital was one of the longest rides in Suraj's life. He had unknowingly clutched onto Chakor's hand the whole time. She had yet to wake up and he had noticed the paramedics sharing dark looks at the wound. The wound would not stop bleeding no matter what they did, and Chakor's heartbeat had slowly started to decrease.
The hospital finally came into view and Suraj saw doctor's and nurses waiting outside with another stretcher. Later on, if asked Suraj would say that everything had happened in a blur as Chakor was taken into the hospital quickly as the 2 doctor's shouted out orders.
Now Suraj sat with his head in his hands as his heart ached. He didn't know why he was in so much pain but he felt as if his whole life was being held by a thread. His mother had left to the police station with Suraj's insistence, as he had explained that Verma had to be put in jail for good. She had left with a backward glance at her heartbroken son.
Three hours after she was taken in, the doors opened and Suraj saw Chakor being wheeled out. Imli and Ranjana had joined Suraj a while after his mother had left, who had also returned not too long ago. They watched as she was taken into another room. She was still asleep and Suraj saw her face looking rhe most peaceful since the last few days.
As his mother and Imli went to Chakor's side and each grabbed her hand, Suraj turned towards the doctor. "Kaisi hai Chakor, Doctor?" The doctor gave a reassuring smile to him. "Aapko kuch fikar karne ki zaroorat nahi hai Mr. Rajvanshi. Operation theatre main, Mrs. Rajvanshi ne bohot khoon ko diya ta. Lekin hamare paas unka blood type ta. Aapki biwi bohot strong hai Mr. Rajvanshi. Unhe ab tore hi gante main ut jana chahiye. Hume teen aur tests karne hai, lekin hum itna keh sakte hain, ke aapki biwi ab khatre se bahar he. Aapko sirf kuch form barne hai, police aur hospital ke liye, jo aap ko front desk par milenge." With that the doctor left to check on other patients.
Suraj felt such immense relief flood through him that he wanted to jump for joy. With one last glance at the sleeping Chakor, Suraj left for the front desk, where he filled out forms and talked to a police officer who had come for a statement from him.
But there was someone who stood behind a wall as she formulated a plan in her head and a smirk graced her face.
When Suraj came back to the room he found his mother asleep on the couch. He had called in the driver, who was waiting outside to take his mother back home. Imli and Ranjana had left sometime ago and frankly though he didn't care. He walked his tired mother to the car and watched the car head towards the haveli. It was around 2 o'clock and he knew the days events were very tiring and shocking for his mother. He would make sure to talk to her later.
The nurse had taken chakor into the x-ray room, and taken some blood samples for a few more tests before she brought her back and closed the light to her room.
Suraj walked back to Chakor's room and sat down in the seat beside her bed. The light had been turned off and only a small wall light was on. He gazed at her illuminated face and was struck at her beauty. Her eyelashes caressed her cheeks, her nose twitched as she slept and a small chuckle escaped him. His eyes fell to her lips, which were slightly open, and he gazed at her full bottom lip. He snapped out of his thoughts as he felt he was entering dangerous territory. Suraj had unknowingly been leaning towards Chakor and he pulled himself back.
That was when he noticed Chakor's hands clutching the sheets underneath her. For one second Suraj thought she had woken up, but then he noticed her eyes were still closed and her face had turned frightened. That was when it clicked, she was having a nightmare. Without a second thought, Suraj grabbed onto her hand and squeezed as he quietly shushed her. "Tume kuch bhi nahi hoga Chakor. Hum tumhare saath hai. Hum tumhe kuch nahi hone denge." Slowly Suraj felt her relax and a surprise feeling coursed through him. He went to leave her hand from his grip, when he felt her clutch onto his hand in her sleep. A soft smile graced his face as Chakor slept peacefully again.
That was how Tejaswini found them that morning when she came in. Suraj was laying on the bed on Chakor's left side, with his head on the pillow. Chakor was holding his right hand in both of her's. They were both facing each other and both had smiles on their faces aswell. Tejaswini left the room with a smile on her face. She would come back later, so her children could grab some much needed rest.
The first to wake up was Suraj, as he felt some thing on his face. He scrunched his face as it tickled his nose, and he forced his eyelids open. He gave a small smile at Chakor's sleeping face in front of him, inches away. He moved a strand of her hair away from his face and closed his eyes ready to go back to sleep. That was when Suraj's eyes shot open and widened at his position on the bed.
Suraj did not know how it had happened, but he had found himself, during the night with his whole body on the bed, which was made for one person. He vaguely remembered the nightmare and Chakor not letting go of his hand, but he didn't remember when he had fallen asleep on the bed next to her. He went to get out of the bed when he felt Chakor start to move. Being on so many painkillers, - courtesy of Suraj who didn't want Chakor being uncomfortable at all - Chakor did not feel any pain in her hip as she turned and curled her leg upward and therefor she did not wake. His eyes widened again as Chakor turned on her uninjured side and brushed her bare leg up his. He felt like squeaking out loud like a little girl when it wrapped around his hip and stayed there. Well there went his plan to get out of the bed without being caught.
Suraj was now in a hard predicament as Chakor had wrapped her leg around him, and he knew he couldn't be harsh on that side because of the wound. He took a deep breath and decided to take the bull by the horn and remove her leg as carefully as he could. That was when Chakor let go of the death grip she had had on his hand and Suraj gave a sigh of relief, it would be a lot easier to get out of the bed now with both his hands. He almost groaned out loud though when in place of his hand, Chakor wrapped her arm around Suraj's neck and her hand grabbed his hair. She forced his face towards her and he heard a small sigh escape her as she slept on.
Only inches away from his wife, who had wrapped her bare leg around him and was unconsciously playing with the hair on the nape of his neck, Suraj felt his heart start racing. It was taking all of his effort not to wrap his own arms around her and hold her close to him, never letting go. The feelings inside of him scared Suraj to his core. When he had married her not too long ago, he hadn't even thought about developing any feelings for her. He knew now that that had been a mistake, because Suraj could feel as his whole life was changing. And it all had to do with this woman beside him, meri biwi.
Suraj stayed like that for some time, a small smile on his face as he looked at his wife while unknown feelings stirred within him. A knock at the door startled him out his thoughts and he felt annoyance at being disrupted. "Main under aa sakti hoon, Mr. Rajvanshi?" The voice sounded like a nurse and he moved his head as far up as he could and softly called out, "Ek minute." The nurse seemed to hear as she responded. "Koi baat nahi Mr. Rajvanshi, hum phirse paanch minute main aate hai." He heard her leave and he set his head back on the pillow and turned towards Chakor again. Except this time, he hadn't noticed how close he had sat his head and he felt his lips brush hers.
Suraj almost jumped out of the bed as a shock of pleasure ran through him, but remembered just in time of her fragile condition. He had to get out this bed before anything else happened and he managed to release her arm from around his neck. He laid it down softly by her head. He slowly moved his arm towards her leg. His heart which had stopped at what had occurred not too long ago, began to speed up again. He moved the blanket which had covered both their legs and reached for her ankle slowly. He gulped as he picked up her leg and moved it off of his hip.
After successfully entangling himself from him, Suraj was hit with cold air and he immediately craved Chakor's warm body around his.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Suraj carefully got off of the bed and stretched his body. He was surprised not to feel any kinks in his body from sleeping on the small bed. But he actually felt the most well rested he had ever felt in his life. That was when there was another knock on the door and he quickly dropped onto the couch to make it seem as if he had slept on it and called out, "Aajao under." He saw the doctor and nurse come in followed by his mother. He had gotten off of the couch by this point when he noticed Chakor's bare leg in full view of the doctor and he quickly walked to the bed and covered it with the blanket. He turned towards the group again. "Boliye doctor, kya hai?" Suraj asked. His mother had moved to Chakor's side and was holding onto her hand. The doctor answered, "Hume joh kehna hai, uske liye hume Mrs. Rajvanshi ki jagne ki raah karne paregi."
Suraj felt dread fill him at the doctor's foreboding face and tone. That was when he heard a voice from behind him softly speak out, "Main jag rahin hoon doctor, kahiye." The doctor turned towards the now awake Chakor and so did Suraj. He saw as she turned towards him and locked gazes with him. He felt his heart skip a beat at her half lidded eyes due to sleep. Why did she have to look so beautiful.
That was when the doctor spoke and Chakor and Suraj felt their hearts drop, "Mrs. Rajvanshi, jo bullet apko lagi ti, wo bullet ne aapki ek nerve ko damage kardiya hai. I am sorry to say, ke aap kabhi dhor nahi payengi."
The room was filled with silence and then Chakor let out a sob as one the things she most cherished in her life was taken away from her in a heartbeat. Suraj watched as right in fron of his eyes, his wife became completely shattered.
