Chapter 26

Sandhya's POV



" Calm down and listen now. We were at camp... " And he explained everything.

" Someone sent the message to her but she got so scared that she came to me. It was almost midnight. You expected her to call you? When you were miles away? She knocked at my door and at that time, I was about to take a shower before sleeping. That is why I am not wearing a shirt in that picture. She was so scared she didn't even realise that I am not wearing a shirt. She was so petrified that she just showed me the message and started crying. Do you know, she was shivering and shaking so much? I tried to calm her by hugging her and assuring that she is safe. I wore my shirt the moment I realised that I was not wearing one. Then there was a knock on the door she thought that it was him so she was trying to stop me from opening the door, so she held me from the backside." He was explaining and tears were flowing from my eyes.

" Ajay and Chirag also came as she had knocked at there door too but they had already slept. We told them everything and they hugged her to assure her that they were there to help her. She was so tired and scared that she slept on the chair. I just picked her up and laid her on the bed. But she cuddled up as an insecure child, so I let her.

He must have clicked all the pics at that time and used them like this. Shubh, l swear, it was exactly like this. We didn't inform you as it was midnight and the next day we thought that may be it was a prank. But it seems that was our mistake. We should have told you. "

" Yes, you should have, But who the hell sent that message? "

" It must be Sumeet, your friend. He even threatened Sandhya and me that day. You can ask Sandhya if you want." Shubh looked at me, and I nodded. He again clenched his jaw and fists. I was still crying.

His hard face softened at once he came to me and caressed my cheeks and wiped the tears.

" I am sorry Sandy, I said all those things. You know how I am... Idiot, stupid, dimwit, short-tempered, I was really angry. I couldn't be reasonable, Please forgive me." He took me in his arms but I was still sobbing.

" I will kill that bastard. How dare he threaten you? How dare he send that message and frighten you? How dare he click your pics and send me?"

" I am sorry Dr Rathore, I misunderstood you. " Then he said sorry to Ajay and Chirag and finally thanked all of them.

He was still holding me in his arms when his phone buzzed. It was from uncle he picked up the phone.

" Hello? Yes, dad........ What??? How?? When?? ........ Oh, please bring her to the hospital where Sandhya works. Ok........ No dad, those pictures were fake, I will explain. I came here to confirm...... ok? They are FAKE dad.... bring mom here because if I come and get her. it will take double time."

" What happened?? "

" He seems to have sent copies of these pictures at home as well. Mom and dad are shocked and mom had a heart attack and then she fainted. Dad is bringing her here. " He said and I felt so bad that I cried again.

"Oh, we will make all the

arrangements for her checkup." Chirag and Ajay left.

" Don't worry she will be fine, We are here. " Dr Rathore said to both of us.

All this was happening because of me. Uncle brought her to the hospital. She was still unconscious so was taken for the treatment. Though I was innocent, still I couldn't even look into my uncle's eyes. I was crying my eyes out.

Shubh explained everything to uncle and then Shubh came to me and kissed my head and said, " Don't cry Sandy, it is not your fault. But I will definitely kill Sumeet. We all went through so much because of him. "

My uncle also patted on my back and nodded.

Dr Rathore had done the checkup and said, " Well it was a panic attack only. But you really have to take care of her. We will put her under observation for two days and if everything seems to be fine, you can take her home. " We all nodded.

Shubh took uncle home and asked me if I wanted to come back home. But I couldn't, I wanted to stay with aunt.

She was in this condition because of me. I was sitting near her bed. The visiting hour was just about to be over when all of a sudden Sumeet came. I was so anxious to see him.

" What are you doing here? " I asked him.

" Just came to see aunty, I got to know about her just now. What happened, all of a sudden? " He asked as if he does not know.

" Sumeet, I suggest that you leave before Shubh returns, he might kill you. "

" Why would he kill me, dear? He is my friend, but he may kill that, favourite doctor of yours." He said smirking.

" Oh, so you came again, do you have a death wish? "

Dr Devil asked and glared at him while entering the room.

I went aside and called Shubh as both men were arguing. Shubh had left just 10 mins back. He must be near by. He picked up the call on the second ring.

" Shubh where are you? "

" I am in the parking, what happened? Do you need anything? "

" Please come back, Sumeet is here. "

" Coming... "

He was still talking to Dr Rathore.

" So where are your other two friends? There must be something with you, they all like you? Give me a chance too. I swear I will be better than them all. " He said looking at me.

Dr Rathore punched him hard. He fell on the floor. He got up and he started walking towards me. But Dr Rathore punched him again.

" STAY AWAY from her and don't even dare, talk to her," he said to Sumeet.

" You better stay away from her as her brother may kill you." He smirked at Dr Rathore. Just then I saw Shubh coming towards us.

" Oh, Sandhya do you need any. Oh hello, Sumeet... How are you? What are you doing here?" Shubh asked.

" I came to see your mom. How is she? I heard about her. How did it happen all of a sudden? "

" Don't know. Oh, I had to call someone, but I forgot my phone in the car. Can I make a phone call from your phone Sumeet?"

" Of course Shubh, Take it. " He took the phone from him and gave it to Dr Rathore and punched Sumeet directly in the jaw with such a force that he fell on the floor. Sumeet was stunned by his behaviour. He got up looked at Shubh with questions in his eyes.

" What's wrong with you, Shubh? You punched me? But why???"

" Oh ! my dear friend, just thank your stars that I didn't kill you instead. How dare you to behave like that with my sister? How dare you to threaten her and send such a message to her? How dare you click her pictures and then send them to us? Because of you, my mom is in hospital, I shouted at my sister. Now you don't you think that I should kill you? "

" What are you saying? I didn't do any such thing. "

" I recognised your new number when I saw the message on her phone. " Shubh punched him again and he fell on Dr Rathore. He also punched him very hard and was about to do it again when a police officer came and caught Sumeet. Shubh thanked the officer and handed his phone to the officer after showing him the proof that Sumeet sent the messages and clicked the pics.

Police took him away and Shubh also went with them as uncle was still waiting in the car.

" Thank you, sir, you explained everything to Shubh and sorry for the way he behaved initially. I was so shocked I didn't even know, what to say. " I said to him.

He took a few steps and came very close to me. I could hear my heartbeat, I just hope he didn't. He bent a bit and whispered, " Anything for you beautiful... "
