Chapter 14

Sakshi:

Next day I woke up early and thought to do something which lessens his anger and makes him smile again. I prepared his favourite breakfast and waited for him to come. He came downstairs and gave a death glare to me which almost made me to burst into tears and scared of him at the sametime. He came near to the table and sat. I served him the breakfast. He tasted it and looked at me.

"Who asked you to prepare this?"

"I thought to prepare this as it's your favourite."

"Many things changed in these two years, Sakshi. Now I don't have any like for these items."

He washed his hands and started to move but stopped again.

"Remember you no need to do anything which I didn't ask you to do and don't try to impress me. Don't forget to take my permission before whatever you do."

"Ok. I will prepare breakfast again for you. Please tell me what you like to have now."

"As you don't have any work, you may have time to prepare the breakfast all the day. But I do not have time to spend my all day just tasting food prepared by you."

He went off. I went to my room.

I really can't understand him. I didn't know how to make him understand my feelings. I love him so much. But still he thinks that I am in love with Ajay. Whatever I do, he is finding fault with it. I can't stay away from him. But how long can I bear these words and behaviour from him.

Whenever I think to speak my heart out, he will misunderstand me and won't give me a chance to do so. Today somehow I will confess my feelings to him whether he trusts me or not. I won't leave any chance to regain his love. Suddenly my phone rang and it's from Ajay. I received the call with hesitation.

"Hello, Ajay."

"Madam, we are calling from Choice hospitals. Someone admitted a person here who met with an accident. We got this mobile from him and we are calling you as it's the last dialed number."

"What? How is he now? I am coming."

"He is in critical condition and surgery is necessary to save his life. It costs 10 lakhs and if surgery is not done within twenty four hours, he may lost his life."

"Make arrangements for the surgery. I will pay the amount as soon as I reach there."

I took my wallet from Randhir's cupboard as he took away all my cards from me. I immediately rushed to the hospital and paid the amount for the surgery. I didn't take Randhir's permission either for coming to the hospital or using my card. But I do not have time to request him and make him understand the situation.

Ajay doesn't have anyone. His parents expired in a car accident when he was eleven years old. He was grown up in the hands of the maid. He has money but no one to care for him. He is the only friend I have in my life who is true. I can't leave him in that stage. The doctor said that the operation was successful and within twnety four hours, he will come into conscious. I sighed with relief and stayed there in the hospital.

In the evening, Randhir called me. I was frightened just by seeing his name on my mobile. My hands shivered but slowly I composed myself and received his call.

"He...ll..o.."

"With whom are you enjoying in my absence, my dear beautiful wife? Are you going to come home or going to spend the night too with him to have some sweet memories?"

My eyes filled with tears. How could Randhir talk like that?

"Speak out bloody....."

"Randhir, I am in the hospital......."

"Hospital?? Are you ok?? What happened to you? Why didn't you inform me? I will come. Tell me the name of the hospital "

His sarcastic and venom filled tone changed to the one which is filled with concern and care. How much he may act as if he doen't care for me but still I know the fact that he cares for me a lot.

"I am fine."

" Then?"

" Ajay met with an accident. So..."

" Hello hello.."

I understood that he disconnected my call hearing Ajay's name. I called back but he disconnected my call and then he switched it off. I thought to go home immediately but the doctor called me to bring few medicines for Ajay. I stayed there the whole nite and in the morning, Ajay came into conscious.

I thought to go home but doctor said they should put him under observation and someone must stay with him. If I go home, Randhir would never allow me to visit the hospital again. For a week, I was in the hospital taking care of Ajay as a friend. Randhir didn't call me atleast once nor did he receive my calls. I am sure when I return to him, he won't forgive me easily.

I went home worried about my situation. I got shocked seeing the scene there. Randhir is having his breakfast served by that girl whom I saw with him at the office previously.

"Ra..Ran..Randhir," I called his name out shockingly stammering.

He looked at me and again continued his breakfast. I am about to step inside.

"Stop there, Sakshi. Don't step inside my house," Randhir said.
