Broken By him.

Chapter-2

It was 6 in the evening. It was a hot day in Mumbai. Adhira was walking in the streets with two heavy bags full of groceries and vegetables. She was wearing a white kurta with faded blue jeans. Some strands of hair escaped from her messy bun and framed her face. Her emerald eyes were tired but she kept walking. She changed hands to hold the bags but both were heavy and her hands turned red, forming bruises due to heaviness.

The streets became more throngy . She saw some cars parked on the other side of the road. She looked here and there to ensure that there was no car coming toward her because it was the least she wanted, to have a road accident and die. She was quickly walking towards the car, glancing at her right and left.

While glancing, she noticed a weird man. He was pretending to read a newspaper but failed miserably.

Adhira chuckled amusingly watching the man, " People say I'm stupid, somebody look at him,...I'm not even S of stupid in front of him ....How could someone read a newspaper in the dark and that too, with holding it upside down" She smiled proudly on herself for her no discovery that she is not stupid.

She was about to pass a car when suddenly the passenger door opened. She jumped back with shock because of the sudden movement but regained. " OOh god ! " she muttered.

The man gave a glare at Adhira and moved to open the back door. Adhira moved away from the car and balanced the bags in her hand and sighed. Meanwhile, the man opened the back door and a young handsome man got out of the car. Adhira ignored all their movements and glanced at the weird man for last and her breath stuck, eyes wide like a saucer and before she could voice out she took only one step and

BOOOMMMM !!!!!

All the crowd screamed and started running here and there...Everyone started panicking hearing the gunshot.

Startled by the gunshot, bodyguards and the driver of the young man quickly came in front and formed a circle around them covering Adhira also as she was holding him by his arms tightly ...

Both the bags from her hand fell on the ground, Groceries and vegetables scattered on the ground.

To Adhira, she felt like everything happened in slow motion ...

She felt light-headed and her lower body crashed the road but before her head could touch the road the man quickly supported her body and carefully put her head in his lap.

Adhira's bloodshot emerald eyes filled with tears of pain and agony looked at his black eyes, which were filled with rage and something else which was something new to her that she couldn't identify.

Her throat and lips were dry ...She bite her lower lips with pain.

" Aaahh...Are you fine? ....." Adhira could only form these words and involuntarily ran her hands on his arms and shoulder with her eyes in search to see if he was hurt. Shocked and surprised by her words, the man looked at her like she had grown two heads ...

Although the bullet hit Adhira, not him.

Though Adhira was in pain, not him ...

Though both are strangers ...

But still, she was more concerned about him than herself. Because this is ADHIRA JOSHI.

When she got no answer, she squeezed his hand a little this time Shivam nodded his head.

Darkness was enveloping her slowly ...

"Good.. its..good that you ar...are fine" She whispered lightly.

Before closing her emerald orbs she saw a lone tear escaping from the man's eyes and, with little energy left in her body ...she wiped the tears from his eyes and gave him a small smile of reassurance and touched the pendant, in her neck.

" f**k!!!!!!!ALI FAST ....THIS GIRL NEEDS TO BE SAVED " He yelled to his man, Ali, who was busy looking for his safety .....Ali nodded his head and quickly opened the back door of another car who was for bodyguards but he didn't leave left her " MY CAR ASSHOLE"

Ali didn't want his boss to get angry, so he followed and helped him to settle with Adhira in his lap.

Adhira was lying unconsciously on the seat and her head in his lap. He checked her breathing ....it was getting shallow with each passing second ...

" DRIVE FAST OR I'LL SHOOT YOUR HEAD.....FAST.....FAST " He hollered at the driver.

He looked down at her face .....

He was shocked by Adhira. It would be an understatement ...He had never seen someone like her...

pure angel from heaven .....

Who would sacrifice their precious life for a total stranger in this cruel world? This was the question arising in his mind...

This world is so cruel...What is an angel like her doing in this world? This place is not for her...

Who is she ? How she come in front at the right time? Why did she save me and risk her life ?

These were questions arising in his mind from all the corners

Moreover, he was thinking that who the f*****g hell dared to shoot him ???

He arrived at the hospital and quickly ran towards the emergency

Stretcher was also brought by the ward boys but he refused to put Adhira there.

He was holding her so tightly but delicately, it felt like if he loosen his hold she will disappear .

Her white coloured kurti now red due to her blood ..

" DOCTOR ...." He shouted and soon a doctor came who seemed to be in his mid-fifties.

" Ohh my god !! " Doctor exclaimed seeing her blood loss.

"Mr. Rajput, what happened to her " Doctor asked him with calm

" She got shot CAN"T YOU SEE ...FUCKING DON"T WASTE TIME "

He yelled at the Doctor making him gulp in fear and flinch.

"Prepare the OT fast" Doctor commanded the nurses.

"Mr. Rajput, please calm down, she will be fine". The Doctor tried to calm him and gestured him to put her on the stretcher so that they can move her to Operation theater.

He nodded and let her go with the doctor hesitantly ...

The doctor was surprised because this hospital was Rajput's own hospital, but he never came there because if they by chance, got any hit they have their on-call doctors at their mansion.

Even all the guards were also surprised to see the concerned and caring side of him for someone other than his brother ....his everything.

Soon she was moved to operation theatre...

Shivam was sitting on the chair outside the Operation Theatre in the lounge.

His guards guarded the whole floor.

It's been four hours since Adhira was taken for surgery inside. The doctor needed to take the bullet from her stomach.

Someone like him who never showed his concern and worry for anyone else except his brother is sitting for four hours on the same chair in the lounge just outside the surgery room waiting impatiently for his savior to return from the surgery just fine.

All the guards were guarding the floor for security purposes. His best man and shadow Ali talking to someone via the phone.

Suddenly, there are doctors and nurses rushing out of the OT and disappearing in a different direction. Out of them, one doctor who was there earlier at the time of admitting Adhira came running toward him .

He wasted no time in standing up, "How is she? Is she fine?" He asked the doctor impatiently

The doctor cleared his throat and visibly gulped, fearing what to say. He took this time to choose the appropriate words to tell him about her condition.

He was already impatient and seeing him not saying any word, took him to a new level of frustration.

He grabbed the doc's collar and yelled angrily " SPEAK UP !!!!!!!!!!!!"

The doctor without wasting another second told him about her condition.

" She has lo--lost a lot of blood an--and she's not gonna m.m.make it " The doctor stammered while saying these words to him which resulted in him yelling at him more angrily ...

" So WHAT THE f**k ARE YOU DOING HERE ???? GO AND ARRANGE THE BLOOD" He yelled at him while shaking him by his collar in fury

"Si---Sir the O -ve blood is not available in this hospital nor in any blood bank ", The doctor stated with a frightened tone.

" WHAT THE f**k!!!!!!! " He yelled in frustration. He left his collar and ran his fingers through his dark shiny black hair in vexation.

The doctor stepped backward maintaining a safe distance from the angry form of him.

Ali quickly went by his side and tried to calm him down.

He patted his shoulder gently to calm him .

Ali didn't heard the full conversation because he was talking on phone to someone.

Nothing could be kept hidden from him

Ali only heard his boss yelling something and quickly ended the call and stood by his side .

"What's the matter," Ali asked calmly but worriedly to know the matter that irked him that much.

"She saved my life but who will save her life now"? He mumbled hopelessly.

Ali was shocked to hear this.

"Ali, she needs blood ....She needs blood but these f*****g assholes don't have that ". He slumped down on the chair helplessly.

Ali was shocked to see this side of his boss but he masked his emotions.

He squatted down to his level and held his hands in assurance.

" Don't be like this .... She'll make it ....She ...." He has no words ....no idea how to handle this situation ...He doesn't know what else to say because they knew her only for a few hours...

They didn't know her name nor anything about her ..but seeing this concern about her from him was something else . It felt like she is family ...

Something came in Ali's mind and he stood up in a flash . He noticed the doctor was still standing there fidgeting ...

"What is her blood type " Ali asked the doctor .

Doctor eyed him up and down before answering " Sir O -ve ...I have checked in hospital and blood banks too but there is no O -ve blood available "

Ali nodded and turned to his boss .." Well... actually I have the same blood group " Ali said with a genuine smile to him.

To which he just glared at Ali with a look 'what the f**k!!'

Ali nodded his head " Don't worry I'll donate her blood " Shivam jumped up from his chair in delight and nudged him to go, almost pushing him

He pushed him " So don't waste time and save her " He commanded but with a hurried tone ..

Ali nodded before walking with doc ..

After a few hours ......

Ali donated his blood to Adhira and surgery was completed and out of the danger

Doctor shifted her to another room to monitor her condition atleast for 24 hours

He was pacing in the lounge and Ali was resting .......

All the guards were still there guarding ........

Adhira was still unconscious

The man and Ali were impatiently waiting for her to gain her consciousness back so that they can enquire her about the shooter and herself
