Truth

Abhira's POV

His ex, Armaan's ex. Who might have been Armaan's ex. I mean it's not like I care. I don't care about his ex. Heck i don't care about his gf, his next or any girl who he might have dated or might date.  I don't care right?

Right!!

Wrong. 'jitna kahu nahi padta, but yarr hadse zyada padta hai' i know i shouldn't care. It's wrong . He is just a deal husband nothing much, but then why does he cares so much for me, why does it matter to him when I don't eat, why does it matter to me when I see him with someone else, why I fear losing him? Why why....ugggg.
I looked at him and he seems just like me lost in thoughts. What was he thinking. I talked about his ex was he missing her. Does he still love her?.  He suddenly made eye contact with me and I felt as if time stopped. 

"Kya aise kyu dekh rahe ho, mai janti hu mai sweet hu iska matlab yeh nahi tum mujhe aisi nazro se dekho ge" i said. He looked at me as if I am an idiot. "Ohh sweetness ki badi behn, kis nazro se dekh raha hu Mai tumhe" "jaise kha jao ge" "huh I am pure veg, aur waise bhi tum itni moti ho ki tumhe pakana bhi impossible hai" "haww....shut up khadossman. Maine na yeh sexy figure Bina kisi gym ya diet ke Kiya hai, tumhari tarah nahi din Mai char char bar dumble uthake body banai hai" "arre Maine dumble uthai hi nahi, jabse tum Aai ho mujhe dumble uthane ki zarurat hi nahi padi. Tumhe hi din Mai chaar baar utha ta hu mai, har bar girti padti Jo rehti ho...giri ja kahi ki".

My face fell within seconds. GIRIJA; nickname of my mom given by my Dad. I was lost in our memories when armaan snapped his fingers in front of my eyes and asked "kya hua" "giri ja" "I am sorry tumhe bura laga" "nahi it's just yeh nickname meri mom ka hai, pata hai mere dad ne unhe yeh Diya tha kyuki woh to mujse bhi zyada girti padti rehti thi" he laughed and said "what akshara mam , sophisticated akshara mam kabhi clumsy thi" i laughed and nodded. "Ha you wouldn't believe, hamesha kahi na kahi girti thi but...mere dad hamesha time pe unhe bachane aate the. Jaise tum aate ho" i looked into his eyes, conveying my honesty. It's true after my mom and dad he is the only one who came for me when I needed him. I smiled and hugged him "thank you khadoosman, for being their for me" "ahh ahh" he kept his hand on his heart and acted as if fainting, "Aaj mai aaram se mar sakta hu, abhira ne muje thank you bola" "shut up khadossman aise mat bolo plz"I said sulking and hugging him tightly. "Achaa sorry sorry." We stayed like that for a few minutes and then he said "mere dad meri mom ko Mrs. Poddar bulate the" "tumhari real mom ko" he nodded "u know yeh baat mujhe dad ne nahi, MA sa ne bataya. Unhone kabhi mujhe meri real mom se alag nahi rakha. She made sure I knew her." He smiled with tears in his eyes "woh mujse Rohit se zyada pyar karti hai, pata hai, ghar mai sab mujse pyar karte hai but woh kabhi mere dil ke baat nahi samajh paye lekin Ma sa, unka Mera koi rishta nahi tha phir bhi ham dono ka alag hi connection hai ". "Arre rishta  nahi hai aisi baat unke samne mat bolna  , woh gussa ho jayegi unke gadhe baite se" I said to make him smile, which he did. I wiped his tears and gave him one of my best smiles. Just like that we shared a lot of things with eachother. Maybe those which we never wanted others to know. I was in his arms feeling safe and protected. I have missed these feelings, I used to get these with my dad but now I get it with armaan. I tightened my arms around and just continued with the conversation.

We are eating ice cream, laughing, fighting and doing non sense. But most importantly we are smiling. His phone started ringing, dadi sa was calling him he looked at me confused. I shrugged my shoulders and signaled him to pick up. He kept it on speaker and dadi sa yelled "kaha ho tum dono, time kya ho gaya, jaldi Ghar aao" "dadi sa shant ho jaiye, ham aa rahe hai. Aap shant ho jaiye. " Armaan said "ham dono thik hai" I added.
He cut the call and i said "chalo armaan warna dadi sa dragon sa banke aag uglengi " "abhiraa" "khadossman".

We started driving, listening to songs and i asked armaan to speed up we were enjoying when suddenly a car came towards us. The driver was driving at a fast speed and blasting horn. Armaan gave him side to go and said "pagal insaan gaadi chalane nahi aati" we looked back and within seconds the car crashed with a tree. "oh my god" i screamed. "Abhira shaant ho jao chalo dekhte hai". We went there and saw a couple. The lady was still conscious but the man was literally lying in pool of blood. We helped them.  Few people came towards us to help. I took the lady in our car and tried to keep her awake. Armaan called an ambulance for the man.

We are in hospital talking with doctor. I held Armaan's t -shirt. He was trying his level best not to panic. "Dekhiye, dono abhi unstable hai, we will try out best. But aap dono kon hai unke" "accident case hai sir, we don't know them" "ok!! Aap Sara procedure complete kijiye and try to contact the relatives of these people".  He went from there. I held Armaan's hand tightly, and made him sit on a bench near by. His hands were shivering, he was on the verge of a panic attack. He was crying remembering, his mom and Rohit. And looking at him cry, my heart was breaking. His every tear was dagger to my heart. I said in a soothing voice holding both his hands tight "armaan, shant ho jao. Dekho meri aakhno mai dekho. Breathe in, breathe out. Sh shh shh".. after a few seconds he calmed down and his breathing came to normal. I held his face between my palms and said "mai formalities Puri karke aati hu, tum dadi sa ko phone Karo hmm. Shant ho jao, remember I AM HERE WITH YOU."  He nodded his head a like a child. I smiled wiped his tears, kissed his forehead with all the love I have in me. Joint our foreheads for a second and went. I came near the receptionist, was doing all the formalities related to the accident case. Being a law student it wasn't something new to me, but still it was difficult. That accident was scary and dangerous God give their family members power to face this situation. While completing the form I heard two nurses talking. One of them said "yeh to armaan poddar hai na..woh lawyer" "haa, woh 202 no. Room Wale patient hai na, uska rishtedar hai yeh" "ohh waise bada ajeeb patient hai woh " "arre uska chodh armaan poddar ko dekh, kitna acha hai, dusro ki kitni madad karta hai " "aur kitna hot bhi". I had enough so I butted in and said in an angry tone "aur shaadi shuda bhi hai. Nurses hai na to a patient ko dekhiye, dusro ke patiyo ko nahi". They twisted their mouths and left. Huhh badi aai. 202 room no.'s patient? Who will it be?

I went near the receptionist and asked about 202 room no. As I was going near that room i don't know why my heart was beating fast. Calm down abhira. When I reached the room I saw doctor coming out of the room, that means he / she is inside. I held the door knob and opened the door with a thumping heart beat. And what I saw, made my eyes go wide, the floor slipped beneath my legs and what not....... because in front of me, looking at me with equal level of shock was......

Rohit...
Rohit poddar
My brother-in-law
