Chapter - 11

Koi aur dooja kyun mujhe

Na tere siva chahiye

Har safar mein mujhe

Tu hi rehnuma chahiye

Jeene ko bas mujhe

Tu hi meherbaan chahiye

Ho..

Seene mein agar tu dard hai

Na koi dawaa chahiye

Tu lahu ki tarah

Ragon mein rawaan chahiye

Anjaam jo chaahe mera ho

Aagaaz yun chahiye

Tu chahiye, tu chahiye

Shaam-o-subah tu chahiye

Tu chahiye.. tu chahiye..

Har martabaa tu chahiye

❤️

Gauri pov -

It was the next day and i was getting ready to go to the office . Last night was so fun i opened up a little to his family and it turned out they weren't bad people or should I say not bad at all they were all very sweet . I do want to talk to them more but my whole mind is more focused on finding new ways on how to tackle with my so called leftover family when i saw aditya panicking and running here and there and finding something.

"What happened aditya ! Are you okay ?" I asked him as he was looking a bit restless .

"One of my patients who was on ventilator her condition worsened a lot I need to leave immediately !"He said panicking and looking here and in search of something and i looked on the table and found his car keys .

"Are you looking for this ?" I asked him and tossed it to him .

"Yeah ! Thankyou ! I will call you later today take care and have your food in time !" He said picking up his coat and left from there running .

I also got ready and went downstairs i was about to leave when someone called me from behind .

"Gauri ! Have something and then leave!" Nandani aunty said and i looked at her then at my watch but i ignored the time and sat down with them all and had food then i left for my office.

I parked my car but saw a lot of press standing outside the office i thought for a bit but then figured out that this was probably one of my so-called father's strategies.

I wore my sunglasses , packed my car and got out of the car in a i don't give a damn about anyone way and ignoring everyone i went outside and saw sakshi standing stomping her feet again and again.

"Sakshi you okay ? Is everything alright ?" I asked her going near her.

"Gauri finally you are here ! Where were you ? Remember Mr Ashok one of our investors, is now threatening us that he is not ever gonna work with us again !" Sakshi said and i looked at her then at everyone else.

"Is he here ?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Where is he ?" I asked her.

"In the board room !" She said and i left from there and she followed me .

I went there and opened the door entering the room and saw him and my dear father sitting there.

"Look who is here finally!" Mr Ashok said and i took a seat across them on my chair.

"Yo- !"Before he could say anything i interuppted him .

"Does it look like i care about what you think ! If yes then you have to be delusional to even think that !"I said moving my head towards him and giving him a mocking smile.

"You are gonna pay for this !" He said banging his hand on the table then getting up from his seat.

"Yeah let's see how you are going to pay for your own bills ! Let me just remind you it was you who needed us in the first place !" I said arcing my eyebrows looking at him.

"You are making a very big mistake!" He said snapping at me.

"Let's say that i just love to take wrong decisions ! You know i never trusted you at the first place you were just like a chess piece to me and it's high time that you get lost from the map !" I said getting up from my seat and going towards him.

"All the deals with you and your company and their alliances are dismissed !" I said and left from there all i could hear was him shouting in a faint voice.

"You will pay for this ! I will make you pay for this ! You don't know who you are messing with ! "This was what i heard him shouting .

I went back to my cabin and started to work because i was pretty behind on it . I was continuously looking back at my phone ! I don't know why ?

When my phone ringed and i picked it up in an instant not even bothering to look at the caller id.

"Gauri ! I sent you an email to look at it and approve it !" Sakshi said and i hummed in a sad tone.

My work was over so i went home early plus i was also wondering why he didn't call me today . Don't blame me he said that he was going to call me it was not like i wanted him to call me . No it was nothing like it's just that if he said then he should have remained truthful to himself.

I went back home and saw everyone sitting together and watching some movie but aditya was nowhere so i guessed that he didn't return till then ..

I went upstairs and changed and the came back downstairs and sat with them and chaarvi came and sat next to me.

We were busy watching the movie when the doorbell rang and sanjivani bhabhi opened it and a worked up , tired and sad aditya entered ! He didn't say anything and went straight upstairs which was very unusual of him..

I sat with them for some time thinking that he may come but even after a while when he didn't i went upstairs only to find him holding his head sitting near the window.

"Are you okay aditya ?" I asked him and he slightly chuckled .

"What was that chuckle for ?" I asked him confused.

"It's your first time asking me if i am okay it's mostly me who asks you that question!' He said still looking outside the window and i realised how many times before he also seemed like this worked up and tired but i never asked him " if he was okay " or " even If something was bothering him.

"Leave that first tell me are you okay or not ?" I asked him and he looked at me.

"Remember the person i told you about in the morning !" He asked me.

"Yes the one who was on the ventilator !" I replied.

"I couldn't save her ! She was just 10 years old ! She was a kid !" He said I could sense the guilt and sadness in his voice.

"It's okay aditya you are a doctor not a god you can make mistakes too !"I said sitting near him on the couch.

"Our one mistake can take or make one's life gauri ! If i would have done something else then maybe she would have survived!" He said with tear glincing eyes.

"It's okay aditya ! You don't have to blame yourself for it where is that strong aditya ?" I asked him and he looked at me.

"Even a strong person breaks at their lowest times not everyone is like you !" He said looking at me.

"I am not strong i am just rude , cold , arrogant and a spoiled brat !" I said chuckling.

"Remember when your mother died you also blamed me ! We doctors are not what we seem ! We take care and look after hundreds of patients ! People trust us with their whole heart but when we come out of the ot and tell them that we couldn't save their loved one it just feels like with their tears it's our defeat and that day when you cried because i couldn't save your mother i felt as if it would have been better if it was me in the deathbed then maybe you wouldn't have cried that much !" He said and i looked at him.

"Do you even know what you are saying aditya ? Stop it now !" I said and got up from there to leave but he held my wrist and i turned around to face him.

He got up from the couch and pulled me towards him i looked at him with a shocked look when he looked straight into my eyes and said.

"Stop running away from the reality ! You know i would never judge you no matter what then why do you keep on lying ?"
