Chapter 61

Continuation

"Diii!" Divya came running. They all lifted their heads to see her and Nitya who was consoling Ritik got up looking at Divya.

Divya ran towards Nitya. "Nitya, where is my Di?" She asked, panting heavily.

Nitya pointed towards the operation theatre.

"Divi, relax, nothing will happen to Khushi, okay?" Nitya tried to calm Divya.

"Here my Di is fighting for life, and you are asking me to relax?" She shouted.

All flinched at her sudden shouting.

"I want to meet her!" She was about to go towards the OT, but Nitya stopped her by holding her hand.

Ritik got up from his place, went towards Divya and hugged her. "Divi, I know my cutie pie. She will be fine," he said by stroking her back.

Shourya was just lost in his thoughts about Khushi. His heart was restless, his eyes were longing to see Khushi.

Tears were not stopping from his eyes.

"Divi, did you tell Urvashi aunty about Khushi?" Nitya asked her slowly. When Nitya called Divya for informing her about Khushi's accident, she strictly told her not to tell Urvashi because she would not be able to take it, her health is not good, and if she comes to know about her daughter's accident, it could become worse.

Divya shook her head saying NO.

The red bulb outside the operation theatre went off, and one doctor came out by removing his mask. Shourya ran towards the doctor. "Doctor, how is Khushi? Is she fine?"

Doctor took a deep breath and said, "she is out of danger. She had lost a lot of blood, and her blood is O-ve which is very rare and very difficult to get but luckily we had that blood."

They all sighed in relief.

Then the doctor continued, " It will take some time for her to wake up. Her head is injured, but don't worry, slowly it will be healed.  Her right leg has also got fractured, it will take some months to heal and here and there on her body there are some scratches which will be healed soon."

"Can we meet her now?" Ritik asked hopefully.

"No, we can't allow you to meet her in the operation theatre. After sometimes we will shift her to the general room, there you can meet her but only one person at a time," The doctor told them and left from there.

They all sat waiting for them to shift Khushi in the general room.

After sometimes they shift Khushi to general room.

"Shourya, you go first," Nitya said to Shourya. He immediately got up and went inside to look at his wife.

His heart broke looking at the injured Khushi who was lying on the bed. Her head, leg and hands were covered with bandages. Many machines were connected to her. Her face was pale, which was also covered with some bruises. He fisted his hands in anger and thought that he would not leave the person who did this to Khushi.

He went towards her with calculative steps. His eyes were not ready to see her in that state. Her beautiful eyes which always used to twinkled looking at Shourya were now closed.

He sat beside her and held her hand in his. "Hey, babes, I am so-sorry for not being there to save you..I am sorry. Please open your eyes. See, I am here... just give me one glance," he cried, kissing her hand.

"Please open your eyes," he continued, but there was no movement from Khushi.

"I will not leave that person who did this to you. I promise," he said in anger.

After talking with her for a few minutes, he got up with disappointment.

"I love you," he gave a peck on her lips and forehead and left the room.

Seeing him coming out, Divya ran inside to look at her sister.

"This is the second time I carried her in my arms in this state. This is the second time I was not there to save her from being hurt..she don't deserve a brother like me who doesn't even know to save his sister," Ritik was crying silently telling Nitya.

"No, Ritik, please don't say that. Khushi is a lucky girl to have you as a brother in her life." She wiped his tears with her thumbs. "And because of you she is safe now...you saved her, Ritik," she hugged him and rubbed his back.

Shourya came towards them and kept his hand on Ritik's shoulder. "Ritik, thanks."

Ritik looked at him with confusion. Looking at his confused face Shourya said, "For saving my Khushi a second time. You are her saviour."

Till then Rahul's phone started ringing. He nodded at Shourya and received the call. Shourya went towards him.

"Yes, Karan,"

"Sir, the car which made the accident of Mrs. Kapoor is registered in Mr. Ishaan Agarwal's name," Karan informed him.

"What?" Rahul was shocked. He balled his hand in anger.

"Yes, sir. But sir, the person who was driving that car was a girl,"

"Who is that girl, Karan?" Rahul asked suspiciously by gritting his teeth. Only one girl came to Rahul's mind.

"Sir, that girl covered her face with a scarf so it's difficult to recognise her face. I will send you the video now. Sir, we will try to find out about that girl."

"Ok, Send me the video fast," Rahul cut the call.

'Now only Ishaan can give the answers' he thought and then looked at his friend who was waiting like a predator ready to attack his prey.

"Who is that person?" Shourya asked in a dangerous tone.

"He said the car is registered in Ishaan's name," Rahul told him.

Hearing Ishaan's name, anger rose in him.

"But he said that car was driving by some girl," Rahul continued. "Only Ishaan can give the answers."

Rahul's mobile buzzed with a message, it was a video sent by Karan.

He opened it. Shourya also came forward to watch it. They felt someone punched on their hearts when they saw the car hit Khushi.

"Give me the car keys," Shourya ordered.

Rahul handed his car keys to him. "I am also coming with you."

Rahul asked Divya and Nitya to take care of Khushi.

'Today you are dead, Ishaan. How dare you even think to hurt my Khushi?'

Shourya increased the speed, he was fuming in anger.

After a few minutes they reached Ishaan's house. Shourya got down from the car and stormed towards Ishaan's house. Rahul also got down quickly and ran behind Shourya. He knew that his friend would kill that Ishaan for sure.

'God, please give me strength to control Shourya, otherwise he will surely murder him' he prayed in his mind.

Shourya opened the door with his kick..

Ishaan was sipping his wine by sitting on a couch. He was shocked looking at Shourya and Rahul, but he composed himself and smirk. "Welcome, Mr. Kapoor and Mr. Malhotra...welcome" he kept his glass on the table and got up. "So, what brin-" before he finished his sentence, Shourya attacked him. He started giving punches after punches to his face.

"How dare you hurt my wife?" He roared. Blood started oozing from Ishaan's mouth and nose.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from my wife?"

"What you ar-are talk-talking about?" Ishaan tried to push him, but Shourya didn't even move a little.

"Why did you try to kill Khushi?" He yelled and held his neck.

Ishaan was trying to wiggle from his hold, it became difficult for him to breathe.

"Le-leave me," he slapped his hands but Shourya's hold became stronger.

Looking at Ishaan, Rahul came forward. "Shourya, leave me. He will die." He tried to pull him away from Ishaan, but Shourya was not ready to leave Ishaan.

"Then let him die. He tried to harm my Khushi," Shourya shouted.

"Shourya, first, leave him," Rahul said. He was also angry at Ishaan, but he doesn't want his friend to kill him and become a murderer. "SHOURYA, I SAID LEAVE HIM!" Rahul shouted.

Shourya loosened his hold by gritting his teeth. Ishaan fell down by gasping the air.

Rahul went and bent on Ishaan's level. "Now will you tell us why you tried to kill Khushi?" He asked in a dangerous tone. His face was showing anger and hatred for him. Looking at his face Ishaan gulped in fear.

"I-I didn't do any-anything," Ishaan answered. He got another punch from Shourya.

He grabbed his collar, "Don't even try to lie."

"Are you deaf?" Ishaan spat. "I said I didn't do anything, and why will I harm her?" He said throwing daggers at him.

"I can be anything but a monster who will try to kill someone, and you know me very well since college, Shourya," Ishaan tried to justify himself.

Rahul came forward. "Oh really, then what is this?" He played the video." Is that car not yours?"

Ishaan was shocked seeing his car hitting Khushi. He then looked at both of them.

"It's my car, but how-" he was cut off by Shourya's punch. He hissed in pain.

"Now tell me whom you hired to kill Khushi?"

"I di-didn't hired anyone, nor I gave my car to anyone", he pulled his hair in frustration.

Rahul grabbed his collar. "Ishaan DON'T LIE. You better tell the truth otherwise, yo-"

"Wait," suddenly something struck in Ishaan's mind. "Morning Samaira came here to take my car saying her car is broke down, and it's given to a repair..so I gave her my car."

"Are you telling the truth?" Rahul asked. "If we find out that you lied to us, I will  not leave you, Ishaan," he warned him.

"I am teling the truth, Rahul. Just before half an hour back she came to give my car back."

"That witch crossed her limits," Shourya muttered.

Shourya's POV

How dare she harm my Khushi. Today I will not leave her. Today she will see the worst me.

"Rahul, call the police," I told Rahul.

Without wasting a single second, he called the police. I parked the car and was about to open the door when I saw her locking her door and there was her luggage kept beside her.

"Oh, that witch is trying to escape," Rahul said smirking.

"Let's go, Rahul. Let's give her our surprise."

We both got down from our car and went towards her and stood on the stairs.

"Hello, Samaira," Rahul said, which made her flinched. She turned towards us and her eyes widened.

"Did we scare you, Sweatheart?" I mocked her. My blood was boiling in anger. My hands itching to choke her.

"Wha-what ar-are you doi-doing here?" Her voice was filled with fear. Sweat beads started forming on her forehead.

"We thought to give you a surprise visit, and it's been so long since we saw your pretty face," Rahul said and went towards her bag. "But it seems like you are in a much hurry to go somewhere."

I know he is enjoying her state.

She started wiping her forehead with her trembling hand.

"Why-why are you bo-both here? Get-get los-lost from here." she tried to be strong but failed.

I stormed towards her and gave a tight slap which made her fall on the floor. I bent to her level and grabbed her jaw, she hissed in pain, but I don't care about this witch. Because of her, my Khushi is in hospital. "What do you think, after harming my wife, you will be able to escape from here?"

She gulped in fear. "Wha-what are you-you saying? I don't under-understand any-anything," she stammered and tried to free herself from my hold.

Rahul also bends on his one knee. "Oh our madam doesn't understand anything?.. It's ok, I will help you to understand." He took out his mobile and played that video.

She started trembling with fear. "Wha-what is thi-this?"

Lies...lies...lies

"Why did you try to kill my Khushi?" My anger was raising by the passing seconds.

"I di-didn't do any-anything." Her eyes start filling with tears.

I gave her another slap. "Don't even try to lie, Samaira," I shouted.

"I-I am no-not lying,"

"ENOUGH, SAMAIRA! We are not idiots to get your lies, " Rahul raised his voice.

"Don't test my patience, Samaira." I warned her. She wad really testing my patience. If I lose my patience, nobody will be able to save her from my wrath.

Suddenly, she pushed me, making me fall on the floor, and she grabbed my collar. "What is there in that gold-digger which I don't have? That low- class trash snatched my place. I deserve to become your wife, not that trash. I deserve that luxury which she was enjoying. She deserves death for snatching my love from me..she is a sl-" before she finished her sentence, I slapped her, which gave a cut to her lower lip.

How dare she talk something like that about my wife?

I pushed her and grabbed her neck.

"You know what? I was never yours nor you were mine. You just loved my money, not me. And the girl whom you are referring to as a gold-digger never asked for a single penny from me. She stayed loyal to me even after I gave her so much pain. She never cheated on me as you did." Thinking about the pain I had given to Khushi, a lone tear escaped from my eyes. "Even giving you everything, what you did? You started cheating on me with that Ishaan. You know what, you don't even deserve that Ishaan." i shouted. She was slapping my hand asking to remove it, but I tightened my hold. Her eyes became red.

"Today I will not leave you, Samaira. Because of you, my Khushi is suffering there."

"Shourya, leave her," Rahul said.

"Mr. Kapoor, leave her," I looked back, the police was standing there. "I said leave her, Mr. Kapoor. We will handle her, " he said. When I left her neck, she started coughing by holding her neck.

Those women constable helped her to stand up and handcuffed her.

"I don't want to see this girl again. Make sure she suffers in the jail," I told the inspector, glaring at that witch.

He nodded. "She will get her punishment."

We gave that video to the police inspector.

"Have a nice life ahead, Miss. Caked face doll." Rahul winked at her. She glared at him. "Don't glare at me like that, Samaira, I will not hesitate to pull out your football-like eyes and play with it."

"I will not leave you both and also that low class trash," she said by gritting her teeth.

"Don't worry, Samaira, when I get bored, I will surely come to visit you. Your face without makeup will surely entertain me," Rahul said sarcastically which raised her anger. She was trying to attack Rahul as a wild cat, but the police dragged her.

After they left, we also made our way to the hospital.

Divya and Ritik were outside the room. I went towards them, "Is Khushi woke up?" I asked hopefully, but I got only disappointment.

When I went inside to see Khushi, Nitya was sitting near Khushi, she got up seeing me and left the room.

I sat there. "Khushi, when will you wake up? I want to talk to you." I held her hand. "Baby, I even punished that witch who tried to harm her. Now no one will be able to harm you. I promise I will protect you. Please wake up and talk to me. I want to listen to your sweet voice. Please wake up."

I can't see her like that.

God, please tell her to wake up.

"Jiju, you go home, I will stay with Di," Divya came and said.

"No, Divya, I will stay with her. Urvashi mom is alone there, so you go home and also ask Ritik, Rahul and Nitya to go home," I told her.

"But Jiju-"

"No more discussion, Divya. You go home, but remember, don't tell Urvashi mom about Khushi. Once Khushi gains consciousness, we will tell her, okay?"

She nodded and left from there.

After sometimes Ritik and Rahul came inside.

Ritik came and kissed Khushi's forehead. "Wake up soon, my cutie pie."

He then turned towards me. "Take care of her. If you want anything, then call me."

I nodded, giving him a small smile, and he left.

"Take care, buddy," Rahul said keeping his hand on my shoulder.

I nodded.

It's 2:00 am, still I haven't got any movement from her. I have not h dinner. I don't feel like eating anything. How can I have food when my wife didn't have anything?

Khushi, when will you wake up?

Waiting for her to wake up, I don't know when sleep came over me.

I woke up when I heard someone coughing.

I immediately looked at Khushi, and to my surprise, she was awake. Looking at her awake, my heart jumped in joy.

"Khushi, when did you wake up?" I asked happily cupping her face.

She smiled. "One hour before...I guess."

"Then why didn't you wake me up?" I asked. I was waiting for her to wakeup.

"I didn't want to wake you. You are looking tired," she said weakly.

"No, baby, I am fine. I am so happy, finally you woke up," I said happily and kissed her lips. "Let me call those idiots." I took out my mobile and told everyone about Khushi.

"Khushi, I am going to call a doctor, okay?"

She hummed, nodding her head.

I left to call the doctor.

The doctor came and checked her and said she will get discharge after three days.

Khushi's POV

It's been two months now, but still my leg and hand have not healed properly. Shourya works from home and also takes care of me. He helps me to eat and also helps me to take a bath and change my clothes. Divya and mom also stay with us now, but he doesn't allow them to help me. 24/7 he stays with me. I like the way he respects my mom and Divya.

Yesterday Avantika mom called me saying they are coming back next month.

Daily Nitya and Ritik come to visit me, and Rahul sometimes stays with us to discusses about projects and all, but I can't help them with anything.

Sometimes I gets headache, but it gets okay when I take medicine, but the leg and hand make everything difficult for me. I am feeling useless now. I feels like I am burden on them. I don't know when I will recover fully.

One day Shourya will also get bored of me if I stay like this. Thinking all these tears formed in my eyes.

I heard the sound of someone's footsteps coming towards the door, so I quickly wiped my tears with my left hand.

Shourya entered the room with a plate of food for me.

"Here is your food," he came and kept the plate on the table and helped me to sit properly.

"Shourya, I will eat it by myself. You go and have your food," I said. I don't want him to get bored of me.

"And may I know how you will do it?" He asked me raising his perfect eyebrows.

I raised my left hand. I know I will not be able to eat with my left hand, but still every time I can't ask him to do all my work.

"You and I know very well that you will not be able to have your food with your left hand," he said shaking his head and sighs "What happened to you, Khushi? Yesterday also you were refusing to eat food from my hand. Do you want me to ask mom to feed food to you?"

I shook my head.

"Then why are you doing this?" He asked again.

I turned my head on other side. "I-I don't want you to ge-get bored of me," I mumbled.

"What?" He almost shouted. He then held my chin gently, making me face him. My eyes start watering.

He cupped my face. "And who told you that I will get bored?"

"No one," my voice came out more like a whisper.

He wiped my tears with his thumbs. "Remember, I will never get bored of you. Even if I had to do this for a lifetime, then I would do it happily," he said softly.

"But Shourya, see me," I pointed towards my leg and right hand, "I can't even walk nor have my food on my own. I feels like I am burden on everyone. You all are working as you are my servents," I broken down.

My mom cooks food though Jenny is there, but mom doesn't allow her to cook, so Jenny and Divya do all the cleaning work, and Shourya, leaving his work, he stays with me.

He sighed and cupped my face. "Tell me, instead of you if I was in your place then would you have not taken care of me?"

"Shourya please don't say like that. I will not be able to take it if anything bad happens to you."

"I am just saying, Khushi. Now tell me would have left my side if I was in your place?" He asked.

I shook my head.

"Then? You are my life, Khishi. You are my happiness then how can you become a burden on me or anyone else? And don't worry, you will recover soon....just wait for another few months."

I nodded.

He leaned forward and kissed my forehead, then his gaze came on my lips. Without wasting a minute, he captured my lips and started kissing me passionately.

He broke the kiss. "You know it's become difficult to control myself," he said making me blush.

I slightly slapped his shoulder. He chuckled and again placed his lips on mine.

"Ahem ahem" we parted away when we heard someone clearing his throat. I slowly lifted my eyes and gasped. Shourya also turned to see.

Rahul, Nitya, Divya and Ritik all were standing there looking at us with a smirk.

"Jiju, I didn't know you were also hungry, otherwise I would have asked mom to send one more plate of food," Divya said controlling her laugh. I glared at her.

"See there, they didn't even touch the food," Nitya pointed at the plate which was kept on the table.

They all are here to embarrass us.

"It seems like it's become difficult for my friend to control himself" Rahul said by putting his hand on Shourya's shoulder, and they all burst into laughing.

They heard everything...how long were they watching us?

I closed my eyes in embarrassment.

"Shut up, guys!" Shourya raised his voice, but no one dared to stop laughing.

God, please save me from them.

Shourya shook his head and started feeding me food.

"Divi," I called her. She came towards me.

"Ask mom to take her medicines," I told her. Sometimes mom forgets to take medicine.

"Di, I already gave her,"

"Okay,"

After having food, Shourya gave me my medicines.

"Okay guys, we are also leaving now," Ritik said and kissed my forehead. "Take care, cutie pie."

I nodded, smiling at him.

"Take care, baby. We will come tomorrow," Nitya came and hugged me.

"Bye,"

After that they both left.

Shourya looked at Rahul. "And what about you?"

"What about me.. I am staying here tonight," Rahul said shrugging his shoulders.

Shourya nodded.

After that they went to have their food, so I thought to pass my time by reading a novel.

My phone started ringing. I looked at the ID, it's Zanvil.

I swiped up to receive the call.

"Hello,"

"Hello, beautiful, how are you?" He asked.

"I am fine, Zan. How are you and Saira?"

"We are fine. We are missing you," He said sadly.

"Me too," I also miss them badly. I don't know when I will be able to go to the office.

"Get well soon,"

"Hmm," I don't know when I will get well, Zan.

"Okey then, bye, good night,"

"Good night," I hung up the phone.

After sometimes Shourya came.

"Do you want to go to the washroom?" He asked.

I nodded.

He helped me to go to the washroom and closed the door.

After doing my business, he took to the bed and put a blanket on me. He lay beside me and pulled me towards him by holding my waist.

I placed my head on his chest. "Shourya, thank you," I thanked him looking at him.

He furrowed. "For what?"

"For helping me and for always being there for me."

He smiled keeping his gaze on the ceiling, but that smile didn't reach near his ears. "I was not there when you needed me, Khushi. You are the one who was always there for me." He then looked at me. "Thank you for never leaving me..thank you for staying with a monster like me even after I hurt you."

"Shourya, you are not a monster. You are my handsome husband."

He raised his one brow. "But as much as I remember, you are the one who used to call me a monster and a devil?"

Ohhh goddd

I averted my gaze from him feeling embarrassed at myself.

"I ne-never sai-said like that," I lied.

"You are very bad at lieing, baby," He chuckled shaking his head and kissed my forehead. "I love you."

I smiled. "I love you too, my handsome hubby."

I slept in his arms listening my favourite music, his heart beats.
