I woke up in an unfamiliar room with a drip on my left hand . I realised that i was in a hospital room and then all of it hit me again . I pulled the drip out of my hand and got out of the room . I was walking through the hallway when i tripped and landed on someone's shoulders . I held that person tightly by their shoulder . My eyes were closed because of the pain of the chair whose corner hit the thumb of my feet causing me to trip over .
I opened my eyes and saw him ..
I quickly backed away from him and ran away from there .
I found my mother's room and saw her face covered with a white sheet ..
"Mumma ! Mumma ! Mumma !" I called her out many times but she replied to not even one of them .
I fell down to the ground crying so much that it was even difficult to breathe at this moment.
"Gauri ! " Sakshi came running towards me and bent down to my level and hugged me from the side and i tightly hugged her .
"Me-re saat-h hi Aisa kyu ho-ta hai sak-shi ? Peh-le papa phir bh-ai ab mu-mma ! Kyu ? Me-re saath hi hames-ha Aisa kyu ?" I said and broke down .
( Why does all of this happen to me ? First my father then my brother and! Why ? Why does this always happen to me ? now my mother ! )
"Gauri ! Gauri ! Buckle up ! It's not the time for you to break down ! Get up please !" She said sobbing a little bit still trying to comfort me .
"Gauri ! Gauri ! We have to cremate her ! Get up ! Get up !" She said and helped me get up .
She took me from the mortuary to upstairs and made me sit on one of the chairs .
"Here ! Drink it !" She said handing me a glass of water .
"I don't want it sakshi ! I am okay !" I told her .
"Please drink it gauri ! I don't want you to fall sick !" She said and then made me drink that glass of water .
"Sakshi woh --!" I was about to continue when i saw two people entering the hospital.
It was them ! Them ! Those people whom I dreaded the most ! Those people whom I never wanted to see again in my whole life till i die !
"Sakshi ! Sakshi !" I said panicking and getting up from the chair and pointing towards them .
"What happened gauri ! Will you please just calm down !" She said trying to calm me down .
"Look there !" I said pointing towards them .
"Who is there ?" She asked looking there but her steps also stopped looking there .
"Gauri ! Come let's leave !" She said gripping my wrist .
"No i would rather die myself but i won't let him be here !" I said and freed myself from her grip.
"Gauri no ! Gauri !" She tried calling me thinking that i may stop but i was definitely not in a mood for that !
I just lost the one who was more important to me than my own life so it was pretty obvious that i feared no one in that moment.
I went towards him and held him by his shoulder making him face me .
"Gauri !" He said in a low voice with eyes glincing with fake tears .
"What did you --! " Before i could complete he hugged me .
I was thinking for a second about what just happened. The man who left me with my mother alone was now the one trying to comfort me . I pushed him away from me .
"What do you want now ? Money , house tell me what you need to get out of here ?" I asked him .
"Tum ! Tum chahio mujhe gauri ! Tum meri baachi !" He said trying to trap me in his words .
( You ! I want you gauri ! You my child ! )
"Haha !" I laughed at his words .
"My child ? Oh so where was this child of yours from so many years ? You didn't even bother knowing if me and mumma were okay ! If we were alive or not ! You left us alone ! You are a traitor, a betrayer, a bloody monster !" I said and pushed him again .
"Stay in your limits ! Didn't your mother teach you how to treat your father ?" He asked holding me from my shoulders .
"She wanted to but she never could because I never had a father because even after having a father he still was never there !" I said crying and looking at him with disgust .
"Get out of here ! I said get out here !" I said and pushed him again but this time he raised his hand to slap me .
Before he could slap me a hand intervened stopping his hand .
"Touch my wife and you I'll know how a doctor who saves lives can take them too !" Aditya said gripping his hand .
"Wife ? What wife ?" He asked.
"My wife Gauri aditya Saina bansal !" He said.
"When did you get married gauri ?" He asked me .
"And you call yourself my father when you don't even know anything about my life !" I said with pain in my voice .
"Your father ? I thought he was dead !" Aditya asked letting go of his hand .
"He is dead to me his soul probably just came to give a visit !" I said and left from there .
I was about to leave from there when a voice called me from behind .
" Gauri ! "
