Accidental Attachment

Wedding?

Vikram

I rushed to India, once I knew Ma was awake.. I had waited for this for 3 years, .
My source of comfort, my mom... She was gone and it made it difficult for me to adjust after I was discharged..
I was more depressed over her state...
She became like this because of me, Because I was admitted

Manoj was there.. I shivered... I remembered when he told me this was all because of Karan.. That he shot me.. Because of that girl... He told me that Sree and Karan were cheating behind my back and I found out, so he shot me.. My hands fisted..

I didn't ask more, because thinking of the blank space in front of me, frightened me so I didn't ask anymore,..
I didn't let anyone talk about this..
All that I knew, if what Manoj said was true ,then my state and my mom's was due to her! She destroyed my life..

I was waiting outside, the hospital room, Diya was with Ma..

I then saw her,! running towards the room. What was she doing here.

She saw me and stopped.

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

" Came to see Veena ma" She said

"Why do you want to see my mom, get out of here! ", I shouted

" You don't tell me whom to see or not, let Veena ma tell and I'll leave. "

"You.. Won't understand if I tell once won't you! " I said

The door opened, "Anna come in ma wants to talk with you.. ", Diya said..

Diya seemed happy after so many days.. I realized that I hadn't spoken to her for long.. I had cut out everyone from my life..

She stayed out, while I entered.. When I saw mom, my eyes flooded with tears and I went and hugged her, crying unconsolably.

"I missed you Ma", I said

I saw tears in her eyes..

" I thought, I had lost you", she said..

I wiped her tears.. "Now.. Everything will be ok, you are staying with me, I'll take care of you.. " I said

She nodded.. "We have lots to talk.. Before that... Before something happens to me.. "

"Ma why will something happen to you! Stop talking like that"" I said

"No.. Listen.. I'm weak.. I'm not saying it will, but if.. " She pointed at the drips..

"I heard from Diya about everything, she hesitated telling me, seeing my state, but I had to know.. Where is Sree? ", she asked

My hands fisted hearing that name..

" Why are you asking about her? ", I asked

" Is she outside, I want to speak with her too", she said

"She is maybe", I said

" So.. I heard, your marriage didn't happen, so I want it to... Happen..with Sree..as soon as possible "she said

I was taken aback and shocked! Marriage??

"Ma, I cant marry, her!! I don't know what happened in the past, but I don't love her,.. In fact I don't like her at all", I said.

My mom nodded.. " Diya told, and I don't have the strength to explain.. But.. I had to do this now you see... If something happens to me.. I want you to know... This is my last wish ", she said

" Mom, stop saying that, nothing will happen, and please understand mom, I cant.!!.. "I said, hoping she will understand..

Seeing her outside, brought all rage, I wondered what it would be like to see her everyday! No! Never!
