Reborned to live

Have I seen her before?

Aastha could feel his gaze just as she turns around she couldn't feel it anymore, huh!

She was confused ' Did I get it wrong? I must have been thinking about him too much nowadays that I am having illusion'.

She shakes her head and looks to the wounded older lady and said softly " Grandma, I think we should call your family and ask them to directly go to the hospital ok,"

The older lady looks at Aastha with moist eyes and nodded. She gives her phone to Aastha indicating she could call them.

Aastha calls her family and informs them about the accident and the address of the hospital.

Just then ambulance comes, takes her, and the older lady with them to the hospital.

*****

When Aastha was busy with an older lady, someone was observing her every action carefully. When he 1st see Aastha he couldn't help but observe her and when she could notice his gaze he could tell she wasn't simple but he just couldn't divert his eyes from her.

Aarzan somehow feels that he knows her and has met her but he just couldn't remember where and when. He has an excellent photographic memory so how can he forget anyone he has ever met.

He took a phone, makes a call, " find the detail of the girl involved in the accident near the central road of the capital city and find it quick." he ordered his assistant Alex and hang up without listening to any word from him leaving his assistant in confuse and interested.

When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, all the family members of the older lady was already there. They thanked her for helping the older lady and bid her "goodbye".

But before leaving she gave them the number plate of the car which knock out the older lady and said: " Sir I have noted the car number plate, you could ask the police to search for them, and demand compensation."

Hearing Aastha, the relative was grateful. after all, if they could catch the driver then he would be the one to pay the bill for the doctor.

After saying that she turns around toward the exit of the hospital but she suddenly halts in her way remembering that the police could ask for further details so she called out the relative of the older lady who was on the way to the room where the older lady is staying.

" Sir...sir wait! " when the relative hears her, he stops in the way and looks towards the running Aastha with uncertainty.

Aastha stops in front of him, taking a deep breath, she gives him her contact number before instructing him " call me, if the police want to ask me any question".

After saying that she leaves the hospital.

*****

When she reaches home, it was already late but the lights of the living room were on indicating Sunita is waiting for her.

As she opens the front door, she sees sleeping Sunita on the sofa.

Aastha quietly goes to the kitchen, heat the food, and eats it.

Just as she was about to wash dishes she heard Sunita saying " oh, you already ate the dinner, leave dishes in the sink. I will wash it."

Aastha was so frightened by the sudden appearance of her mother, that she let go of the plate in her hand which ends up in pieces.

" Ma! you scared me, look because of you I broke the plate," Aastha complain to her mother in an accusing and disapproving tone.

Sunita shake her disappointingly with a hint of anger in her tone " you brat! you came so late at night like a thief but I didn't say anything as you were busy helping an older lady so I thought of helping you but now you are accusing me of breaking the plate huh!outrageous!"

Seeing Sunita angry Aastha hugs her and said in a meek voice " I am sorry Ma, I am really sorry it's just that you suddenly call me from behind that it scares the sh*t out of me."

Hearing Aastha's sincere apology Sunita smiled and said " it's ok."

After all the fight and forgiving scene of daughter and mother, Sunita washes the dishes letting Aastha go to bed.

As soon as Aastha change her clothes to pyjamas, she went to bed as she was dead tired from all the commotion today and lack of sleep from last night.

She sleeps soundly unaware of the storm coming towards her which will turn her life upside down.

" RING RING RING"

Aarzan heard his phone ringing when he comes out of the bathroom with just a towel hanging low in his waist.

He picks up his phone on the 5th ring.

" Sir, I have all the details regarding the girl" Alex informed him.

"Hm"

Alex continues as he heard his boss indicating he is listening.

" Her name is Aastha Acharya, she only has her mother as her father died when she was an infant. She studies at T university majoring in Business Studies. She is top of her class and she has recently bought an IT company named ASHAN."

When he heard the name of the company, his heart suddenly aches without any reason which only confuses him.

After listening to all the information about Aastha he hangs up the call and went to bed but he couldn't sleep.

As he closes his eye, he remembers her angry face lecturing people and caring face as she helps the older lady.

There is only one thought in his mind right now which is unlikely to happen with his photographic memory.

"Have I met her before??"
