1082 Words
Akira's POV~
"Aki.. I hate him so much. How can he judge people like that? What right does he have to do that? Just because he is rich, " she spatted.
"Harshi.." I said slowly.
"What Aki? That rich brat doesn't care about others. He is so selfish. I don't know how people deal with him, " she frustratedly said.
"Harshi ...Stop it," I said.
"What? Stop it. Does he behave like this with his parents? Does he behave like this with his sister or brother?" Harshi said while glaring at him.
I was really in a tight position. I don't want to really hear anything against my brother. I don't know how to stop Harshi. My tears fell down from my eyes.
"No.. He doesn't behave like that," I raised my voice.
"How? How do you know?"Harshi said while raising her voice.
"Of course I know..Because he is my brother," I said, screaming without thinking anything. My mind was filled with anger and helplessness.
"What?"Harshi said with a shock in her voice. My hand automatically covered my mouth.
"Harshi.."I said while going near her. She moved away from me.
"Is it true? He..he ..is your ..brother?"she stuttered.
All I see is pain in her eyes. My tears escaped continuously from my eyes.
"Harshi.." I said in a broken voice.
"So when are you going to reveal this to me?"she asked. I looked down.
"So you were nowhere near to reveal this to me, right?"she asked while crying.
"So you also think the same as your brother. I may steal your money. that's why you didn't tell me anything about your family. You don't trust me, right?"she asked while she was red from crying.
"No..No..Harshi..It's not like that. I never thought like that. I never.."I was cut off when she moved away from me.
"Don't.. I don't want to hear anything from you," she said and went to her parents.
She immediately wiped her tears. I followed her, explaining my point. I know we both are not in any state to hear to listen to anything.
She smiled when she saw her parents. I wiped my tears as well.
"Mom Dad.. Can we leave? I'm really tired, "Harshi said.
"Why? What happened? you wanted to spend some time with Aki, right?"Aunty asked. I felt more guilty for hiding this from Harshi.
"Akira is busy, Mom. Her brother came to pick her up, "Harshi said. I felt more pain when she said 'Akira'. I couldn't able to speak a word.
"Okay then. Bye Aki..Bye dear, "her parents bid a goodbye.
"Bye aunty bye, uncle," I said to them. They both turned to left. I hold Harshi's hand, but she immediately swat her hand away.
"Harshi," I said desperately. She immediately looked at me with pain. She looked at me softly but again gave me a cold look and left.
I fell down crying. I don't know how to explain things to her.
I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I saw my brother standing with a concerned look.
"Aki.. What happened?"He asked while crouching down. I cried hysterically.
"It's all because of you," I said in anger. I yanked him away.
I started running away from him. I cried that my only friend whom I love, trust the most left me.
How does every bad thing happen to me? How does God snatches my happiness ?
I cried while running away from life. Suddenly, it started raining. I didn't care whether I was drenching in the rain. I don't care anything now.
I fell down on the road.
"Ahhh!" I cried in pain. I saw blood oozing out from my arms and knees.
I cried in the rain. Suddenly, I felt more in pain in my heart. I didn't know when I fell unconscious.
"Angel... Are you okay?" I heard someone's voice. I felt someone embracing me, and then my eyes got closed.
*********************************************
I felt someone's hand on my hand. I slowly opened my eyes, adjusting to the light.
"Aki...Aki.. Are you okay?" I heard a familiar voice.
I saw my brother standing with tears in his eyes. I cried in pain, remembering the fight.
"Bachha( Baby) Please don't cry", My brother said while caressing my face.
I held my brother's hand and cried. He caressed my hair lovingly.
"Bhai(Brother)!!" I said and cried.
"Don't cry, my baby. Please.." he said while hugging me.
He wiped my tears from my eyes. After crying for some time, my weeping slowed down. I felt my heart light.
"Are you fine now?" he asked while caressing my hair. Slowly, we broke the hug.
"Who brought me here?" I asked.
"It's... It's me.." he stuttered.
"Oh," I said.
"Baby.. How are you feeling?" he asked.
"I am fine," I said in a low voice.
"Will you manage for some time? I will get some medicines for you, " he said. I nodded.
He went out in a hurry. I saw one nurse entering the room.
"Ma'am.. How are you feeling?"she asked while holding one pen and notepad .
"I am feeling good now," I said.
"Do you feel any stuffiness?"she asked.
"No," I said.
"Great," she said, smiling.
After placing the pen and notepad aside, she started checking the IV on my hand.
"You are so lucky, ma'am. You got a nice brother. He literally took the hospital on his head, threatened everyone in the hospital, "she said. I just looked at her.
"His eyes are filled with tears, but he stood strong. He ate everyone's mind until you woke up, "the nurse said.
My eyes filled with tears when I heard her. I don't know when I stopped calling him bhai. I didn't know when I stopped talking to him.
All because of my insecurities, my selfishness that I stopped talking to him.
I didn't think anything.The full-length conversations changed into 1 min conversation.
I cried thinking about how my brother felt because of me. He must have felt the pain same as me.
"Ma'am.. Are you okay?" the nurse asked while placing her hand on my shoulder. I cried in pain.
"What happened, bachha? Why are you crying?"My brother is running towards me in worry.
"What happened?" he asked while glaring at the nurse.
"I don't..know..sir", the nurse stuttered.
"Nothing b..bhai..I just remembered something," I said while hicupping.
"Leave," he said coldly.
He sat beside me and caressed my hair.
"Don't worry, baby. Bhai will make everything right, "he said while hugging me tightly.
