Chapter 37: chapter 37

Everyone at home got to know that Sandhya was rescued and was taken to Dr. Vinay’s hospital for the treatment. They reached the hospital. Sandhya was unconscious and was being treated by Vinay.Sandhya’s family reached the place and bursted into tears looking at her. Maggie was weeping, “Mom!”Vinay interrupted and requested them to not disturb her. Everyone surrounded Surya and was questioning him, “You were about to sacrifice yourself for saving Sandhya! Do you think we can survive if something had happened to you?” Meenakshi was miserable.“Please don’t reveal any of this to Sandhya! Respect me and my decision and let her be, please,” Surya requested everyone. Surya requested everyone to leave so as to not disturb Sandhya and assured her safety.Gowtham waited for the right time and said, “Brother! You are still a culprit! We still have charges on you! You will be proven innocent when we submit the evidence to the court tomorrow. Arun will be behind the bars for the rest of his life.”Surya sat beside Sandhya, holding her hand. After a while, Sandhya became conscious and was scared right away, “Surya straightaway held her, Sandhya, I’m right here!”She looked into him and hugged him tight.“Sandhya, you are okay! I’m here. Everything is going to be fine! He is behind bars and he can’t even touch you!” Sandhya felt a bit relieved and his hug felt divine to her. After a while, Dr. Vinay permitted Sandhya to go home. Everything was well and good.The very next day, Arun was produced in the court. All the evidence was against Arun and Prasad stood as a witness for his crimes. The Court had analysed all of the evidence and Arun was proven guilty for his crimes and was imposed a life time imprisonment. Everyone was ecstatic and reached home. Gowtham stayed for another two days and returned to Mumbai. Sandhya wasn’t aware of the sacrifice that Surya had done for the sake of saving her. She is at peace now.And the days passed by,The most awaited day had almost arrived. It was their anniversary the next day. An important day which will decide their lives. They were waiting at the shore for the suitable tide to hit their feet.Surya firmly decided that he should be conveying his love to Sandhya. He decided and went to sleep, waiting for the Sun to rise. But Sandhya’s heart was at war, “Will Surya leave me all alone from tomorrow? Doesn’t he love me like I do? Surya, I love you! I truly do! This isn’t just friendship! This is the purest feeling, Love!”But how will she ask him when she has no right over him? Surya was pretty sure that they wanted to separate by the time of their wedding day.“Surya, you are my everything! I can’t imagine a life without you, it’s all just darkness creeping in. Don’t let me go and don’t leave me!” she wanted to scream but she couldn’t. She was struggling but somehow managed to fall asleep.
