594 Words
Sanjana's POV:
My head was throbbing when I woke... I looked around weakly.. It was a hospital chamber.. someone entered through the door.
Arnav? Really!? I don't even expect him to come in my funeral...
His face was dull, lips trembling and cheeks stained with tears.. Was he crying but why? He should be happy, it was his marriage..
"A-Arnav you... he-here? " I couldn't resist asking him.
"You remember m-me? " I asked. Matter of factly.
Did I hammer my brain, that I will forget him? And even if a have hammered my brain, he is so disgusting.. he will stay.
"Of course I do.. " I said still feeling dizzy.
Shock! Shock! Shock!! He hugged me tightly!!? Almost breaking my ribcage. Why is he behaving so odd. He doesn't even like me..
"Sanjana.. " a voice came from behind... Vishal. He smiled at me and I smiled back, weakly.
He came and took me in his embrace and I hugged him back. I was happy that Vishal had come.
Everyone else came and spoke to me except for Ranjana di...
"Maa... where is Ranjana di? " I asked looking here and there "And oh! How did the marriage go.. sorry for the inconvenience I caused. " I mumbled, guilty for what I did.
Before they could tell me anything, the doctor called them out... I lied down, taking in short breaths. My mind started fluctuating, I saw images of marriage, hitting, falling down and... Arnav. Why? Why am I seeing these things..
I tried to sleep but, I wasn't quite sleepy. I kept awake with my eyes on the ceiling. Slowly I drifted my eyes closed, still awake when I felt something on my forehead. Someone kissed me. I opened my eyes to see Arnav walking out. Wait, what!?
He kissed me, why? I mean... woah! That was strange.. After a few hours of me staring here and there Arnav walked in. What does he want now? I sat up.
"Careful! You haven't yet recovered swee-Sanjana... Y-you should take care.. here, your food. " he said and sat down beside me.
I tried to take the box from him but, my hand hurt.
"Wait, I'll feed you.. " he said and forwarded a spoonful of rice and dal.
I hesitated but, took it.. he was feeding me very carefully, with... love. No! He doesn't even like me around how can he change so much.. After the food was over, he was going to go when I caught his hand.
"Where is Ranjana di, I haven't seen her around.. " I asked.
He turned to me and passed a crooked smile.
"She is out of town.. she has gone to make her career there... " he said, quite stunning me.
"When did she leave? Just after marriage!? " I asked. He nodded and left.
What's wrong with him? He is behaving so well and all of a sudden, why did Ranjana di's topic make him inconvenient..
The next day when I woke up, Arnav was the one who had come with the food... It continued for two, three days.. One day I asked him, directly.
"What's wrong with you Arnav? Why do you come to give me my food? And why are you behaving so differently?? " I asked, frustrated.
"Because I'm your— " he was cut off as the doctor entered.
"You are recovering... good. You can go home tomorrow.. " the doctor said smiling at me.
I diverted my gaze to Arnav who had angrily left. What is his damn problem!?
