Miss Introvert? [COMPLETED ✔]

CHAPTER 72

[Aditi]
I woke up in a hospital bed with Darshan sleeping beside me. God! I am alive? Yeah.. I am. I tried to sit straight but my chest ached and a forced cough came out. Still I dragged myself up which awakened Darshan.

"God Aditi...", he said in a calm tone which was out of character for him. He helped me sit straight. I guess... If he got to know everything. "Are u okay?", he asked me. I nodded. "Let me just call the doctor..", he said but I had other questions. "Who brought me here?", I asked trying to act calm. "Prakriti and dad", he said. "Prakriti's dad or yours?", I asked utterly confused. "How come my dad come here? Obviously it's her dad", he said annoyed. I guess I am dreaming... Because he can't be so calm. Either he would shout at me or be sarcastic to me.

"Well... You should take care of yourself...", he said. "Yeah...", I responded. "Anything could have happened in that accident... You never know", he replied calmly. Accident? What accident? "Accident?", I asked. "Yeah.. Don't u remember anything? You got into an accident with a truck", he said. So... That's the story they mustered up. I didn't want to let out the whole story because... The kind of person he is... He would curse himself and hold himself guilty for everything. I asked what was in my mind till now. "How come are u so calm now?", I asked. "What else should I do? It happens every time... Every time u end up in a hospital fighting with death... For how long should I be emotional? For how long should I cry in front of u to show that I care for you?", he said as the warm waters filled his waterline. I could understand his point. "Sorry...", I muttered. "What this sorry is gonna do?", he asked. "Nothing... But can make u feel better..", I replied and he smirked. I glanced at the clock. It was night 3.30 AM. "For how long I was here?", I asked. "For a week or so..", he said and my jaw dropped ajar. "Really?", I asked managing to move my jaw. "Yup", he said with a calm tone. I looked into his eyes... All swollen and puffy... Red like tomatoes and spicy like chilly... Cold like ice and warm like the desert.... He his his emotions in them. Which I used to do... And I guess I still do.

He made me laugh and I laughed u til a sudden pain took over my chest forcing a cough out. "Oh gosh Aditi! Are u fine?? Let me call the doctor..", he panicked. "No.. Darshan... I am fine..", I said trying to stop him. But he was adamant. He called the doctors. They examined me and said, "Everything is normal... She just needs rest ... U can take her home". Words of relief!

Walking through the known corridors, I went into my room. I saw Netra did I sleeping over my bed. She always liked my room and I didn't want to get her out of my room. I went into the washroom and freshened up. As I went outside, I saw her sitting on the bed rubbing her eyes out of sleep.

"Hey", I softly said. She eyed me suspiciously and asked, "Aloo... When did u get here?". I gave her a quick side hug and then said, "Just now". "You know.. I wished to stay by u last night but Darshan insisted on staying so I came back. The whole last week he hadn't been well... He was complete gloomy..", she said.

I got her point but it was pointless talking about it.. "Okay", I said. "Is that all u have to say? Won't u apologize to him for committing suicide?", she asked and my eyes went wide. Doesn't she know the same story as Darshan? How come she knows it?

"You know... Uncle asked me about u... That same day... I couldn't lie... So I blurted out everything... And if uncle would have done anything... He wouldn't have picked u all the way to the hospital.. And even pay the hospital bills..", she said. "Wow.. My dear Sherlock Holmes... But apparently... He thinks I got into an accident..", I said. "That is what everyone knows.. But u need to get the truth out.", she suggested. "No.. I can't", I said. Holding my upper arm tightly, she said, "What do u want? What will u get by self-harming? I thought u were a mature girl but actually u r a Hagar's offspring", she spat on me literally. "I am sorry... But I can't didi... It will ake things worse", I muttered. "It's either u say Darshan that u love him or I will say him"she said and turned around to leave.

Scared, I held her wrist and took her hands upon my head, "Didi... Aapko meri kasam... Aisa kabhi mat Karna..", I said. "Aloo...", she said in disdain. "Promise me.." , I demanded. She looked else where. "Didi!", I demanded and she said, "Okay fine! But I would stop at nothing to make sure h guys end up together", she said and went away. Oh no! What was happening?

Moments later Prakriti came into my room. "Breakfast?", she asked with a smile. I nodded replying her smile. I looked at her... She was looking so magnificent. No ... I can't ruin her life.. Even if I have to ruin my life... Even if I have to sacrifice my love. "You love Darshan?", I asked her. "What a question? Obviously... But u know what? I feel like it is just attraction... A phase... I had even talked to him about it... But he claims it to be love", she said as I ate the breakfast. "May be he loves u more than anything..", I smiled. She smiled and said, "Sometimes I feel like it is not love because... The way he takes care of u.. Talks to u... He never did that to me... ". "May be... He has enough faith on you... He has more confidence on u... ", I said to comfort her but she nodded her head negatively... "Okay.. Don't get dramatic", I said to her while she chuckled. "On a serious note... Take care of him... He needs u", I said to her and she smiled in reply. "He loves u", I said her. She blushed... I wish... I could ever hear the same thing... But... Yeah... Wishes remain wishes.. I love him... But does he?

Oh Aditi or Alia.. Whatever! Just shove these feelings of your shoulders... He is getting married... Be matured! Leave him!

Yeah.. But now I have to be careful for Netra didi... No one knows what her next step is going to be... Beware!!
