Chapter 25
Sandhya's POV
It was a beautiful morning, the golden rays of sunlight were entering my room to wake me. I did my daily routine and went out. My aunt and uncle were already home when I came back from the hospital last night, but they were so tired and so was I.
I hugged her and said good night. We couldn't talk yesterday.
My aunt was preparing for breakfast. The moment she saw me, she came and hugged me and then she caressed my face and then kissed my forehead. She was getting very emotional. I hugged her hard.
" Aww... I never realised that you have grown up, so grown up that, it is time for you to get married now... There is a marriage proposal from a very renowned and good family Their son is highly educated and one of the most eligible bachelor. You are getting engaged in this week your parents are coming in 2 days." She said...
" What?? Why?? What is the hurry? "
" It is the right age to get married beta. Anyways, you are getting engaged next week. You can call your friends if you want."
" But bua Ji... "
" No further discussion on this. They are coming to meet you tomorrow evening and we have your engagement ceremony in this week itself."
" What is this mom? At least listen to what she has to say. How can you decide on her behalf? It's her life, what if she doesn't want to get married right now? Let her make the decisions. You can't impose your decisions on her." Shubh said but buaji paid no heed to whatever he said.
He drove me to hospital and said, " Don't worry Sandy, I am with you I will help you, they can't marry you off without your consent. Let me know if you don't want to get married." I just nodded.
" But Mom said, that they have already committed to them. And as you know, Rajputs are said to be very stubborn and they fulfil their commitment at any cost. But what if I don't like him? Or he doesn't like me? "
' Don't worry, I am with you. I will not let them force you to marry like this. " He said and I merely nodded.
I reached the hospital and went to my department. Everyone was there we all took our rounds. And went back to our department. Dr Rathore was in his cabin and we were standing outside discussing some patient, suddenly I saw Shubh coming towards us.
He was extremely angry. But why? He was looking very furious with his clenched fists and red eyes.
What happened???
I rushed towards him. But he glared at me. He GLARED at me?????
"What's wrong??? Shubh, what happened?? Why are you so angry?"
He was panting with rage. He ignored me and then glared at both Ajay and Chirag as well. It looked as if he intended to kill someone.
I was stunned to see him like this. He just entered Dr Rathore's cabin.
I went after him. What was wrong with Shubh?
Dr Rathore got up from his seat and smiled when he saw Shubh coming towards him. But all of a sudden Shubh punched him hard.
" What???? " We all were taken aback.
" What are you doing Shubh??? Have you lost it? " I came between Him and Dr Rathore and shouted at Shubh.
" Yes, I lost it, I am fuming right now. How dare he??? And how dare you? What happened to your values??? How could you do that? I didn't expect this from you. I will kill him. You just get aside. "
" Hold on! What are you talking about?? " I asked him as all of us were confused.
" How can you be so shameless Sandhya?? You want me to tell you? You tell me what happened? I am so ashamed of you. You just get aside, I want to kill him first. How dare he? He told me to be rest assured, as he would take care of you. Is that how you take care, Dr Rathore??? "
" Listen Shubh, there must be some misunderstanding... " I was saying as everyone was confused but he pushed me aside and launched himself at Dr Rathore. He was about to punch him but Ajay and Chirag caught him.
" At least tell me what happened? " Dr Rathore asked him in anger.
" You all are bastards. How dare you touch my sister? " Shubh was getting out of control now he pushed Chirag aside but Ajay caught him tightly.
" What the hell?? Have you gone mad? He didn't do such a thing? " I shook Shubh.
" You... You... I don't know, what shall I say to you. I will talk to you at home. Just go away from here right now. " He shouted at me.
" I will not do that, you will go home. What has gotten into you? " I shouted back.
" Ok fine, I will show you. What did you think, I wouldn't come to know? You didn't even think about our families? " He was so angry and frustrated, that a lone tear slid out of his eye. He tried pushing Ajay but he was very strong. Dr Rathore was shocked at what he was saying.
Shubh took out his phone and showed him something and said, " Even now, you would say nothing happened?? " I snatched the phone to see what he was showing.
Oh god !! It was a picture of me in the arms of Dr Rathore while he was not wearing any shirt.
" There are more if you want to relive those moments... How could you?? "
I scrolled the screen and saw that I was sleeping with him cuddled up in his arms and he was kissing my head.
Another picture of me holding him from the backside. A few more in which Chirag and Ajay were hugging me.
I had started crying by now. Who did this and why???
" Now say that nothing happened. Can you??? "
" Yes, I would say so. Nothing happened. Now calm down and stop saying bad things about her. You know your sister better than any of us. How can you even think that she can do anything wrong?? "
" You are asking me to calm down?? Do you want to say that these pics are fake?? I want to kill all of you. "
" Are you even listening, what I just said?? Calm down, nobody did anything wrong. I am not saying that the pics are fake. Your assumptions are wrong. I want to show you something as well. Just look at it first and then listen to us. Sandhyaya, open messages in your phone and show him that message you got that day. " I nodded and opened it and gave it to Shubh.
He glared at all of us and started reading. He went red with rage.
" What is this??? Who sent that to you?? When?? Why didn't you tell me?? What is happening here??"
" Calm down and listen now, we were at camp... " And he explained everything.
