Love Is Not A Fairytale

Chapter Fourteen

Sanjana's POV:

I wiped his tears.. So he knew about his parents? I still can't believe he was bullied.. he looks so strong for anyone to bully him.. He is just so... I don't know..

Later that night I cooked dinner and served everyone, standing by the table as usual, waiting for everyone to finish their food so that I could it.. well, my mom had told me thus since I was of the age to get married.

"Sanju sit with us... why will you stand when I'm eating.. come. " Arnav said stunning me to the point of dying. Sanju?? Should I be happy or angry!?

"Yes beta, everyday you stand here... do you do this at home as well? No right!? Then why here, this is also your house... " maa said and I smiled..

I took a seat beside maa, when Arnav stopped me and smiled.

"So much love for maa and your husband? Where did the love for me go? Sit with me.. " he asked pouting..

What's wrong with him!? I didn't want a scene so I quietly sat beside him.. After I was done with the food and the housework I started walking towards the stairs. My leg got tangled in my saree, I slipped and I fell, tumbling down the stairs..

"ARNAV!!!! " were the last words before everything around me went black...

Arnav's POV:

I was working on my laptop when I heard a loud cry.

"ARNAV!!! " it was Sanjana's voice.

I ran out and saw her lifeless body lying down on the floor below the stairs..

"SANJANA!! " I yelled out.

I ran down and held her head in my hand. Maa, Papa, Dadi and Dadu came down ad well..

"Call the ambulance maa!! " I yelled as my eyes became teary...

Her eyes were still slightly open.

"S-Stay awake Sanju, S-S-Sanju stay awa-awake! you have to.. stay awake!! " I said out loud as I saw her eyes closing and her loosing her consciousness..

The ambulance arrived and she was taken to the hospital. I sat in the ambulance with her, while Dad drove maa, Dadi and Dadu in our car.

"Stay awake Sanju, St-Stay awake!! " I said for the millionth time.

She was taken in the operation theatre. I sat there, tugging the root of my hair staring at the floor. The wooden floor under me started to take in my teardrops.. Everything struck my mind at once. Our marriage, her pain, her tears, her care, her words... everything..

I won't be able to forgive myself if anything happens to her... I couldn't even gain forgiveness from her...

"Mr. Raichand.. " I looked up at the voice.

"Do-doctor h-how is she.. Is s-she all.. alright.. Ca-can I meet her? " I asked breathlessly.

"Mr. Raichand, she is critical. We're trying our best... you please submit 1 lakh in the reception for the operation. " I caught his collar..

"My wife is dying inside and all you care about is bloody money!! " I yelled.

Maa and Dad came catching my hands and apologizing to the doctor..

"Arnav!! Will your anger solve everything!? Will it??... Arnav.. beta I k-know it is hurting you but you need to control yourself... you have to be strong.. " maa said as tears rolled down her eyes...

After what seemed like decades, the doctor came out with a serious face..

"Mr. Raichand, I'm sorry but.. "
