Chapter 19

I put Ren down “Ren, Popy needs to go somewhere” saying I left the Ivan House again. While going I started to check the news that is she really in the hospital?

“Kia Marshall is admitted to the BenZ Hospital. Her company still didn’t confirm the cause of her sickness but we hope she gets well soon!” I read the article and suddenly I started feeling scared.

BenZ Hospital is one of the VIP hospitals here. Almost all celebrities go there for their checkup and all. Without thinking I moved to my Range Rover and started driving to the hospital.

★★★

After parking my car in the hospital garage, I make my way inside but before going inside I notice that there are so many fans of Kia, they are sitting in the hospital garden.

Most of them are holding different writtens of baner. “Get well soon our superstar” “We are here with you” “You can come over it” and many more.

I went inside, I know if I ask in the reception about Kia they won't tell me anything as this hospital maintains safety & security very strictly. Especially for the celebrities.

So without wasting much time, I started looking in the celebrity zone by myself. I didn’t forget what happened yesterday nor did I come here to forgive her. I just came here to find out what happened to her. Then I will immediately take my leave because I don't care but why does my heart sound that I still do care…..

I stopped walking, I think It's h-her! With full courage while tightening my hand grip, I moved my step back to the door which I was about to leave behind.

From that tiny round shaped glass, I pecked inside but the scene from inside made my heart moved a little. A big ass furrow touched my forehead. W-What's wrong with her? She was perfectly fine yesterday. I can see an oxygen mask on her face and her head is covered with bandages. She is lying on the bed lifelessly while looking miserable.

Too many thoughts are running together in my head. Did I miss anything? I hold my forehead, I can't understand anything. “I know you will come!” hearing the new voice I turned around.

Naina! The manager and best friend of Kia! I know her but have never met her. Her and Kia's friendship is also very popular.

“Arsh I knew you would come but you are late!” I furrowed my brow, “What happened to her?” I asked coldly.

“Remember some mess happened yesterday? And because of that Kia was very stressed and in tension. She got several panic attacks which caused problems with her breathing system. She couldn’t breathe and at the same time she was dying with stress. Because of this she fainted but unfortunately when she fainted her head got hit by the living room glass table which made her head hurt!” she finished.

I looked at Kia again, and suddenly I started feeling guilty. “So you knew everything! And you also helped her to betray me!” I spoke.

She breathed out “Arsh do you really think a star like Kia would take a break just to betray you or lie to you?” she asked.

I furrowed a little “You know what Arsh, six months ago Kia even doesn’t know you exist!”. “What do you mean?” I asked. “Arsh behind everything there is a reason. Nothing happens without a reason. But I won't tell you anything because the war is between you two so let Kia fine once then she will tell you everything by herself!” Naina said and walked away.

What she was saying? I can't understand anything. Did I make any mistakes? I am not feeling relieved. I again looked at Kia. Did I do wrong not listening to her…….

4 days later

K I A

I looked at my lifeless face on the white glass of my balcony. My expressionless face, cold gaze, and miserable state made everything worse.

I am feeling like that old Kia again. That cold, alone Kia from 6 months ago. Never thought things would end like this. At this moment I feel like doing nothing. I don't even feel like living. It's just my body is working but from inside I am totally dead.

I miss Arsh, his presence, his smell, his voice, everything about him. It's been days since I last saw him. I know now he hates me a lot and it rips my heart. I don't know what to do. Everything feels out of my control.

“Kia, what do you want for lunch?” hearing Naina's voice I turned around. Today I got discharged from the hospital. Though my body is well now, but my mind and heart are not well at all.

A while ago we came back from the hospital and now Naina is arranging everything back here. “Anything will be fine!” I replied coldly without any expression.

Naina came to me, “Kia please my superstar don't live like a dead human. You know I can't see you in this condition!” she said concernedly.

“What should I do Naina? Everything feels out of my control!” my cold voice hit her. “It's actually my fault! I wish I never allowed you to do any job while you were on break. I wish I never look at Arsh's secretary advisement!” she looked down while being helpless.

“What? No Naina! What are you saying? It's never your fault” I hold both her shoulders with my hands. “In Fact I should thank you for giving me this amazing six months. The happiness I got from these past six months, I can't express in words!”

“And for this I am really grateful to you. Without you I couldn't do anything! I know the ending of these six months was not good at all” I looked down while holding my tears. “This is just written on my luck Naina! It was no one's fault!” I looked at her again.

She hugged me while patting my head and said “Don't worry my superstar everything will be fine!”. I broke the hug and was about to say something but suddenly the doorbell rings.

“Let me check who it is!” saying Naina went to open the door. After opening the door Naina looked at me but I looked at the person “U-Uncle?” I mumbled.

He is looking at me with a very concerned and worrying gaze. He was in London for some company work but I think after knowing about my hospitalisation he came back.

“Umm I told uncle everything!” Naina said while making me look at her. I am feeling scared but don't know how my uncle will react. I know he loves me, cares about me but still.

But suddenly uncle opened his arms, calling me for a hug and that's it I broke down again. “Shush my little Kia! It's fine dear” he gently patted my head. I am happy that my uncle understood me like always.

We broke the hug and he looked at me with concern “Oh god! Look at you Kia! You are not that Kia whom I know!” I looked down. “You really love him a lot right?” he asked. I nodded confidently. “So Kia should I go and talk to him?”. “No uncle, you don't have to do that. You understood me that's enough and this is his and my war so we will handle it” I said.

“As you say dear! Now let's eat together. It's been a while since we three had lunch together!” uncle said while looking at both of us. I nodded with a faint smile.

I moved my dead gaze to the wall clock and it showed 7 pm. Seeing the time I sighed because it feels like time is also passing very slowly.

After having lunch with my uncle and Naina, we three talked for a while. Then uncle had to leave but Naina wanted to stay but I told her that I can stay alone but still she was not feeling relieved.

I want to stay alone for sometime, that's why I sent them back. Though a few minutes ago I had called with Naina. I got up on my feets and went to make some coffee for myself.

Still I am not feeling normal. My heart is still hurting. I just wonder how Arsh is feeling right now. Hope he is good. God please keep my Arsh good and safe. I really want to meet with him but what if he gets angry after seeing me so that's why I think both of us need some time to be normal. I just don't want to hurt him anymore.

I put espresso on the glass and went to take the milk from the fridge. But found out I ran out of milk which made me sigh again. I took my house keys and made my way out of the house.

My apartment has a small mart beside the parking space so I went there. I didn’t bother to wear a mask or cap because I really don't care. I pushed the door and went inside, I directly went to the milk section and without wasting any time I went to the bill area.

I see my reflection on the white glass. That tiny bandage on the left side of my head made me look more miserable. Without much care, I again made my way home.

I was about to press the elevator button but suddenly out of nowhere someone pulled me on a corner and pressed me against the wall.

For a second I was so scared but it was ARSH! After seeing him in front of me, a tear fell from my eyes. I miss him so much “Why did you play with my emotions? Why did you betray me?” he asked with his red puffy swollen eyes while gritting his teeth……….
