Chapter 48
Aarohi's POV :
It's been 2 days since that dreadful day and Ansh is still unconscious which is freaking me out.
After I gained consciousness that day I was persistent to see Vayansh but I couldn't because he was in OT.
Everyone in the family came to see him as soon as they got to know. They were happy to see me there but extremely worried for Vayansh.
I didn't knew how much I missed them until I saw them. Mumma hugged me while crying and I did my best to console her while trying to keep my emotions at bay.
After what felt like an eternity a doctor came out and finally announced that 'The operation was successful.'
But....
He added a 'but.'
That but made my heart fell and dread ran through my spine.
But..
The doctor continued 'The stab was too deep on his stomach because of which he losed too much blood. He is still unconscious and we don't know when he will gain his consciousness. It all depends on his recovery.'
Oh God!
I was so scared at that time. I needed my Ansh with me. He always used to stay with me whenever I was scared whether it was a nightmare or anything else.
I need him right now to console me that he is alright.
Advik asked what I was dreading "Is his situation similar to a comatic patient?"
Doctor answered him "Not entirely. He is not in coma and the chances are rare for him to slip into coma but again for that we need him to wake up."
Atleast he was not in coma.
We waited until the doctor allowed us inside to see Vayansh.
Than I saw him.
There he was.
Lying lifeless on the hospital bed.
His face lost all its colour.
His eyes were still closed as if he doesn't wants to open them.
He will..
He will wake up.
Since that moment I didn't left his side, everyone was there but after I requested them many times they finally left for home.
Advik and papa were still with me but they left just a few hours ago because of a work emergency.
Vayansh is not there to handle everything so they need to attend it even chacha directly went to the company.
They were still reluctant to leave me alone but I managed to send them away.
I also told them to not tell mumma that I am here alone because she and Kashvi were also here the whole night so I wants them to catch some sleep.
I was thankful because I wouldn't have to see Advik now.
Uhmm..
Because I somehow shouted at him claiming that they were careless. They should have used some protection like bullet proof jacket or something.
Advik didn't argue he just said that Vayansh was in a hurry to attack even though he never did something like this before but this one was an exception that didn't ended well.
Even though Advik didn't said it out loud but I could hear him say 'Because of you.'
I even apologised to him for shouting and he said that he didn't mind but I was still guilty. He knew I was stressed but I also know that it just sounds like an excuse.
I looked at Vayansh who was still asleep. He hasn't gain his consciousness yet.
I tightened my grip on his hand while sitting near him and softly caress his knuckles.
I looked at his face and said "Ansh.... Please open your eyes. I have been dying to see you. I.. I.. won't be angry at you anymore.. please wake up. I.. forgave you but.. If you won't wake up now I.. I won't talk to you again. I swear I am serious."
Tears escaped my eyes and a few fell on Vayansh's hand which was clutched into my hands.
I whispered "Ansh... Pl..plea-"
Rest of the words died on my tongue when I felt a moment through my hands.
Ansh..
His hand moved. I wiped my tears and called out for him.
I need to call the doctors.
As I loosened my grip on his hand, his grip tightened on mine.
He is waking up.
I moved closer to him "Ansh.. Can you hear me?"
He finally opened his eyes after what felt like an eternity to me.
His blurry eyes slowly came into focus as he adjusted to the light.
I smiled through my tears "Ansh.. How are you feeling? Is there any pain? Let me call a doctor for you."
"Jaan.."
His voice was so rough when he call for me. It must be because of dried throat so I asked "Want some water?"
He shook his head "Are you... serious?"
"What?" I asked.
He closed his eyes trying to concentrate then again tried to speak but I stopped him.
"Don't speak. Don't push yourself to speak. I will have the doctors check on you."
Before I could call the doctor he stopped me "Jaan What you said just now.... were you serious? You have forgiven me?"
"You... you were listening?"
His face twisted in pain as if someone has shot him just now.
"You didn't meant that?" He asked.
Before I could say anything he continued "It's ok. Oh.. You are injured, love. Is it still hurting? You should rest more instead of sitting here."
His eyes focused on my bandaged arm. He completely changed the subject before I could reply to his previous question.
Does he think he will be disappointed by my answer?
I softly caress his hair away from his forehead and replied "You are the one injured here, worry about yourself."
He grabbed my hand in his big one then took it to his lips silently placing a kiss on my palm.
"I am sorry for whatever happened. I never meant to drag you into my mess."
I shook my head and kissed his hand "You should be sorry for being so careless. You don't know what I had to endure when I saw you so lifeless lying on this bed. I thought I would...."
Lost you..
I couldn't complete my sentence as I broke down in tears.
He hugged me while caressing my back as he tried to calm me down.
I needed this.
I did't knew how much I needed this until I felt his arms around me as his natural scent invade my senses.
We stayed like this for a while then I called the doctor for him who checked him up.
The whole time Ansh was holding my hand. He just wouldn't let it go and I also didn't argue because I can't bring myself to left him for a second when he just wake up.
The doctor told me that everything is fine and I called at the mansion to inform everyone.
As the doctor left I looked at Vayansh and he was already looking at me.
I finally answered "I am not angry at you anymore."
I saw a surprised expression on his face.
He has become more expressive now or am I become more good at reading him? Whatever the case I am glad I could just see through him.
"Are you saying this because I am injured? Look sweetheart, You don't have to-"
I cut him off by shaking my head and said "Not because I pity you that now you are injured but because I got to experience the fear of.... loosing you.. because... I... I am hopelessly in love with you, Ansh."
I know the confession was so blunt that I didn't even believed that I said this.
I needed to finish what I started so I interrupted again when Vayansh tried to speak.
"Yes, I was hurt. I still am but I can't loose you because of that. I will give you a chance... but.. just this once.. not for you but for myself. I know I am being selfish but... I... I just can't help it."
I couldn't bring myself to look at him after I was done. There was an awkward silence spread in the room which was interrupted when he grabbed my hand and jerked me forward.
A gasp escaped my lips as I land on his chest.
I was about to give him a piece of my mind for pulling me like this.
He could have injured himself.
But my words were swallowed my his lips as he placed his lips on mine pulling onto the bottom lip.
He kissed me.
I closed my eyes and kissed him back. We were kissing like we haven't kissed for a century and it felt true because we haven't kissed for long enough that it truly felt like a century.
He said between the kiss "I guess I am allowed to kiss you now when you have forgiven me."
He smiled through the kiss making me smile too.
He said again "Thank you Love. I won't disappoint you, I promise."
I broke the kiss and kissed him again after taking deep breaths to catch my breath.
My hand roaming through his hair, still careful not to hurt his wounds.
A knock jerked me back as I tried to pull away but Ansh pulled me back by his grip on my throat.
I whispered "Ansh.. Someone is here."
He groaned and left my lips unwillingly.
I opened the door after straightening my clothes and hair. It was a nurse who gave me his medicines which he needs to take now.
I took them and placed them on the table near him and started to fill a glass of water.
"You need to rest stop using your energy somewhere else other than recovering fast." I said while I gave him the glass and press a button to uplift the bed.
He smirked as he said "You didn't thought about that when you were kissing me like a hungry woman."
My cheeks reddened "I.. didn't..."
He laughed looking at my blushing face.
I mumbled "Shut up and take your medicines."
I gave him the medicines which he took without any protest.
I keep the glass back and before I could say anything I heard another knock and the opening sound of the door.
The whole family entered, Everyone was here to see him, they must have left the mansion just when I informed them that Vayansh is awake.
Papa asked "How are you feeling now?"
He nodded "Fine."
Everyone met him and talked to him asking about his health and all.
I smiled watching them interact, they were really worried and finally seeing them relaxed made me smile.
