chapter 18

She took the visiting card and her eyes widen seeing his name there."Harish!" She muttered."Yeah! Karthik, Raguveer's son" the doctor said making her eyes wide."I'll try to contact him doctor" she uttered and left the place immediately. Her mind was occupied with those thoughts. She never imagined that Karthik would be Harish's relative."But Harish never said anything about this so far! Why ?" She thought but she didn't get any answer. Entire day she was upset thinking about this and left home early. She decided to discuss the issue with Harish.She was in deep thoughts, standing in the balcony staring the night sky. Her thoughts were broken when she felt a strong pair of arms wrapped around her waist. "What are you thinking so deeply honey?" He asked resting his chin on her shoulder. She turned and looked at him."I was thinking about a patient" she replied. "Hmm! But I remember that we made an agreement like we shouldn't bring professional stuffs inside our home. You was the one who framed the rule! Now you're breaking it" he said raising his eyebrows."But it's not about a business Harish! It's a person's life" she uttered sadly. "Ok! Tell me what's bothering you?" He asked holding her hand."Harish! There is a mentally affected person and his condition is very critical nowadays. Doctors are trying their best to safeguard his life but I think his family members are not ready for that" she said sadly."Why they should think that way Harika? No one will wish to see their relative in that state" he said making her smile bitterly."But you're doing that to your own uncle!" She uttered looking straight into his eyes."What?" He annoyed. "Why are you trying to kill Karthik? Why are you not willing to treat him? Whether you afraid that your CEO post will be snatched away?" She uttered those words very unexpectedly which made him loose his patience."Mind your words!" He warned her making her nervous yet she brought out the confidence in her."Then tell me why you're not accepting to bring his lover back. I'm 100% sure, he will get cured completely once he meet her again in his life" she said with hope."Stop it Harika! Don't take this matter again. I'll never allow that bi***h near my uncle" he uttered with rage."But I can do that. I'll find out her identity and I'll bring her to treat him. No one can stop me from doing that" she said like a challenge making him lost his patience completely."Don't utter a word Harika! I already lost my patience. Don't make me a moron. I don't want to hurt you but at the same time I couldn't accept everything which you wish to do" he said sternly making her eyes wet."Why? Why are doing this to him? Don't you want him to be normal? Think about your mom! Think about her happiness! I know how much she loves her brother. Why are you so adamant?" She asked with tears."Yes I'm adamant! I can forget anything that happened to me but I'll never forgive her! One who is the sole reason for my family's miserable state.You'll never understand! Come with me" he held her hand and took her to a room in the first floor.The room was dark. He went to the cupboard and took few diaries and handed over to her."First read this! Once after that, you'll understand the reason behind my anger and I'm sure you'll support my decision as well" he uttered and left the place.Harika was confused but she decided to open that diary. She opened the first one and Karthik's words made her travel along with his life journey.Karthik's PoVI never had an habit of writing diary before I met her. But she changed my entire life. Writing this in memory of my Harini!!It was the first month of second year of my college life and there was a small gathering to welcome the freshers. Usually I'll not be more interested in those stuffs but on that day, I couldn't avoid that situation since we were the organizers.It was such a boaring event I ever attended in my life. I stood there without any interest but something disturbed my mind and my eyes automatically turned towards that direction.My eyes were frozen when I saw her for the first time. But her disturbed face hurt me more. My heart longed to know the reason for her sadness.I didn't averted my gaze from her face and understood that she was nervous. "Why she is nervous?" I thought. "Next one! Harini, please come on the stage" they announced and her shocking face made him realised that her name was Harini. He also guessed the reason for her nervousness.She walked towards the stage with baby steps. Before that, I reached my friend who's organizing the particular event."Hey Raj! What's the task for her?" I enquired, "She has to introduce herself and answer the questions whatever her senior ask her" he replied."Who's going to question her?" I asked, "Nisha" he replied. I walked towards Nisha and stopped her before she visit the stage."Hey Nisha! Ragu is waiting for you in cafeteria. His face looks serious. Go and check what's wrong" I lied, "What about this program?" She asked worriedly."No worries! I'll take care" I assured with a smile. She thanked me and left the place.I reached the stage and she was already standing there with a nervous smile. Even that made her look so beautiful. I stood infront of her with a smile.She slowly raised her face and gazed my face nervously. I could see magical waves in her eyes which made me forget about myself. If one were brave enough to enter their depths into her eyes, all else would blur and you'd fall so deep in love that you'd choose to stay there, no matter what. Of that, I'm completely sure."Now our senior Karthik would welcome her by asking few simple questions" someone announced bringing me back to the present.I looked her straight and smiled at her making her smile in response. "I'm Karthik" I introduced myself. "Hi! I'm Harini!" She whispered but I heard her melodious voice for the first time and that was the most beautiful melody I ever heard.I asked her few random questions about her school days and family. She replied with a beautiful smile which stolen my heart. Once again, I lost myself in her smile. Again the applause sound brought me back to concious."Welcome!" I said forwarding my hand, she given a hand shake creating a heavenly feeling inside me. "She is definitely a miracle" I thought.I never had any feelings for girls and that was the first time I felt my heart skipped it's beat for a girl. "Who is she? I'm seeing her for the first time but my heart felt like I know her for a long time.I strongly felt that our souls were connected somewhere" entire night her thoughts made me sleepless. I don't even remember when I slept, next morning I found myself sleeping in the corridor. I woke up before someone notice me sleeping in the corridor.Next day, I reached my college early in a strong eagerness to meet her. But unfortunately, I found her classroom empty. I waited for her near the entrance. Finally my eyes were blessed to see her again.She walked crossing me but she didn't noticed me. I admired her and followed her without her notice, my ethics warned me that, it's not a good to follow a girl but I ignored those things for the first time.I stopped while seeing her standing infront of a gang. "Oops! They're going to rag her. She seemed very nervous yesterday just for that small event. Now she will be definately feel uneasy to face this. I should do something and stop them from ragging her" I thought and walked towards her.Some love stories aren't epic novels. Some are short stories.
