Zindagi Aur Pyaar - FULL ENGLISH

Chapter 1: Tragedy

This story is written in full English, but for those who want to read this story the way it is originally written with mixed English and Hindi dialogue written in English characters, the original version of this story is posted. It has the same title without the words FULL ENGLISH next to it. I personally feel that it truly captures the emotions better, as it would have been spoken like that if those scenes were occuring, but the choice is yours! Also, this is just me translating my own words to English, so there may be minor inconsistencies with the dialogue. Without further ado, let's get started!

Neil was dead. That was the irreparable, irrevocable truth. Oh how badly Akshara wished to change that. She would give anything to go back in time a couple hours and just shut up and suffer the pain from the cramps. She should not have gone out at all, she should have just sent the police to help those girls and gone home, or not have taken Neil there with her.

As she stood surrounded by grief and mourning, and looking at the lifeless body of Neil as his entire family mourned, Akshara felt something in her break. The loss of her babies coupled with the loss of Neil was destroying her, and Abhi just blankly staring at the body of his younger brother in shock broke Akshara even more. She felt her entire head spin and the world started going in and out of focus. Trying to steady herself, Akshara failed miserably and promptly fainted.

Even in his state of grief, Abhimanyu's reflexes were still quick when it came to Akshara. Before she could faint, Abhimanyu had already moved towards her, and as she fainted, caught her in his arms.

Abhi watched as the eyes of his family flickered to Akshara and then just continued staring lifelessly back at Neil's corpse, almost uncaring. No one cared, Abhimanyu realized.

Slowly steadying Akshara and lifting her up bridal style, Abhimanyu carried her to another room of their hospital and slowly laid her down on the bed. Why? Why do you not take care of yourself? You just had a miscarriage, and you are not even resting! Abhi mentally scolded an unconscious Akshu.

Although his world had just shattered minutes ago, Abhimanyu couldn't help but take care of Akshara. "Abhi, our babies aren't here anymore. I just had a miscarriage..." Those words cried by Akshara would forever haunt Abhimanyu. Although he hadn't said anything and had actually told Akshara to get an abortion when he found out she was pregnant and there could be a risk to her life, he had fallen in love with his unborn children upon hearing their heartbeats.

Twins. Abhi was going to be the father of unborn twins just a couple of hours ago, and now, he had lost his younger brother who had practically been his first child and his unborn children. Abhi hated himself. Although he knew that there was no way he could have prevented this, he wished that he had not been in Jaipur.

Perhaps if he had been here, then he would have taken care of Akshara or taken her to the hospital himself. If he had been here, perhaps no one would have died today. If, if, if. The endless possibilities haunted Abhimanyu. Despite knowing that his patient had been critical and he had to go do the surgery in Jaipur, Abhimanyu couldn't help but torture himself with all the possibilities that could have happened if he hadn't gone.

Maybe Taiji or Tauji would have gone, his brain settled on that answer. Yes, if they had gone maybe everything would have been fine. He knew that the surgery was too complicated and critical and only he could have done it. Suddenly, he began chuckling bitterly, haunted by his grief.
