chapter 15

Neeraj appeared after two hours, Kunal is eating his breakfast a bit calmly, he looked a bit serene and tranquil.Neeraj smiled at him for a second.Kunal hesitated to eat and kept it there for more than an hour, finally took it into hand and started eating it with a calm face.It made Bhumi happy, she smiled at him happily, Neeraj smiled at them for a second."Ready? Shall we go?"Neeraj asked Kunal."Where? What?" Kunal asked faking anger."Hospital..." Neeraj said placed a hand on his waist and clenching other tightlyKunal frowned, he doesn't want to answer anything.Kunal doesn't want to mess with Neeraj, his gestures are enough to tell him, how serious he is?"Finished?" Neeraj waited for a second."Yes, "Kunal said keeping the plate aside."Come" Neeraj helped Kunal to stand up and they somehow reached the car.Bhumi is with them all the time, Kunal felt an urge to ask Neeraj, Why he is allowing her to hospital but kept calm, controlling his rage.Bhumi knows it's difficult for Kunal to accept her, still, she needs to work on this, she can't leave him as such, he is spoiling his life.Neeraj took Kunal to Hospital and she is waiting for them, outside the doctor's cabin."Hello" She lifts the call and found its Sanjay."Sir..." She spoke hesitantly.Sanjay got surprised by her greeting."Sir, back to sir..." He muttered, don't know whether she listened to it or not."I am with my brother." She cooed.Sanjay rolled his eyes, Is her brother a devil? He thought."Bhumi," He spoke after a second."Tell me, San...Sir..." She is mumbling.She doesn't want to let Neeraj or Kunal know about their friendship, She is unsure about her feelings.She doesn't want to complicate things, She learned many things from Neeraj, Sanjay is the best friend for both and it doesn't surprise her much.She didn't bother about it, if she truly loves Sanjay, if Kunal truly accepts as his sister, then she won't think it's a big deal.But she is not sure about her feelings, She is missing him and his gestures, actions do affect her but she can't say it's love.She already mistook friendship as love in the case of Viraj.She was a fool, she mistook Viraj's friendship as love, he is her best friend, how can she imagine so creepy?Thankfully she didn't mess their relationship, She waited for a few days to think about it.It's just a mere teenage attraction.They both grew together, Friends for two decades, they are family friends, this made her miss him terribly, but somehow she realized it's friendship.They are two different poles and it won't work, Thank god she realized it in time.No one knows about it except her mother. She truly helped Bhumi to know about her feelings.Now She is happy for Viraj, he found Manasi.But Manasi is not comfortable with her, Maybe she doesn't want another female to grab the attention of Viraj.So she is avoiding Viraj, they both need some time, its necessary for them. This time she is happy for him, she is not missing him as much.She closed her eyes and thought about Sanjay, Sanjay's thoughts are not going out of her mind.How much she wants to avoid them, avoid thinking about him, they keep pestering her all the time.But she thinks Sanjay needs time to introspect his feelings towards her.She too needs some time, Why can't they allow time to decide their fate.It is the best judge after all.She didn't speak for a second, Sanjay is waiting for her response on the other side of the phone.It irritated Sanjay a bit, probably for the first time."Bhumi..." Sanjay spoke in an irky tone."Sanjay.." She walked hastily out of the hospital and spelled his name with ease.They didn't speak for a second, they both are missing each other, they both knew it."Miss you" Sanjay admitted sincerely."Me too" She wanted to say badly but swallowed the words, don't want to be too quick to admit her feelings to him."Hu...." She hummed.This disappointed Sanjay for a second."Two more days" He sighed.She stood there listening to his rasps, it soothed her wavering mind."Are you angry with me?" Sanjay is thinking the worst possibilities, He couldn't bear her silence, it's killing him."Why would I Sanjay? Missing you" She admitted the damn fact.She couldn't take his words, he is hurt and it's hard for her to take it.She quickly closed her eyes.They are just feeling the presence of each other, nothing more.They have nothing to talk about, they need time to think about this relationship, but they can't bear the separation.There is something that they need to think about this relationship seriously. Small gestures of each other are affecting the other greatly."See you in two days " Sanjay doesn't think he can talk more, he is grasping some air."Sure" She smiled, she could smile finally, cut the call."Bhumi" She heard a voice booming from behind and turned around to see Neeraj."Did he listen to their conversation?" She stood there holding her heart, it's beating a bit fast.It's not the right time, Kunal has to accept her first then she can let him know about her friendship with Sanjay, She already took a decision."Sanjay doesn't know I am Kunal's sister" She mumbled."I don't want him to know it now, its too early, Bhaiya" She is mumbling, lowering her head, gazing here and thereNeeraj understood what she wants to say, Things are getting complicated.She literally tied his hands, He doesn't have any idea what's going to happen.He knows of his friends and hopes none of them will hurt her, hurt her feelings.He is least worried about them because he can convince them but What about this girl? He just nodded at her pursing his lips."Doctor gave me the medicines, he wants him to undergo bed rest for a week or so," He said giving her a prescription.They are walking towards the doctor's cabin where Kunal is waiting for them."He warned him well, he will try his best to keep himself free from alcohol, don't worry" Neeraj smiled."Thank you" She mouthed."I am doing it for my friend" He gave a pale smile.Three of them walked out of the hospital and she spares a moment for both the friends, they are talking about something related to work.She is standing a few feet away from them, watching her brother, his friend.Her eyes fell on someone.Whom did Bhumi see? Rajeev!What is he doing here?Bhumi came to know about Rajeev through Sukriti, she sent a pic of him and warned her to be careful."Rajeev" She mumbled.He is standing there three or four feet away from Kunal.He is holding something, a knife.Her heart is beating fast, it's racing.Why is carrying a knife? and he is just a few feet away from them.She tried her best to push him from behind. She mustered all the courage and did it closing her eyes.She stood there frozen closing her eyes, she doesn't know what happened later.What she heard later us few shouts, she is still standing there struggling hard to open her eyes. Hope Kunal is sound and safe."Kunal" A lone tear escaped from her eye.To be continuedThank youTake carePlz, let me know how it is?Please vote and commentBye
