Twisted Fate

Chapter 5- Truth!

Varun POV:-

I looked at my watch which showed 4 am. I took her here at 7 pm. It's been more than 7 hours and I haven't heard any news about her till now. Suddenly the light turned off. After 10 minutes the doctor came out, he looked like he cleaned himself first. He looked at me and gave me an apologetic look.

" Mr. Mehra, you have seen the condition of your wife. I am not gonna lie to you. Your wife lost her both legs. We had to cut her legs to half of her thighs. If you want, there is an operation where she can get her artificial legs. It will help her walk like her legs. For now, she needs to recover. We can do that operation after 6 months. Also, in that accident, her left hand fractured. It will take her 3 months to recover and use her hand properly. For now, she is out of danger. She is under anesthesia. She will wake up around noon. " The doctor stated and patted my shoulder. He left leaving me alone in my thoughts.

The nurse came out and told me the room number where they were going to shift her. After that, she entered the OT room and I went to my sister's room. I entered and saw my sister awake and feeding my niece. I turned my face as I didn't want to see her like this.

" Bhai! You can see me now. " She said. Her eyes held pain and worry. I turned my face and saw her covered herself in the duvet.

" Bhai! What happened to you? This blood? " She asked with fear in her eyes. She could see that the blood had dried now. I lowered my face not wanting her to see my emotions right now. I know my sister. She will understand everything just by looking at my eyes.

" You just give birth. You should take care of yourself first. I am okay. " I stated.

" No, you are not. You are not looking at me. What happened? " She asked loudly. I sighed and looked at her.

" Because of me, a girl lost her legs permanently and she is going to live her six months in a wheelchair. " I stated with tears in my eyes. I may strong in the world but in front of my sister, I am a guy who can show his feelings. Vikas left us alone as he knew how much I hated to show myself in front of anyone except my sister.

" What? Can you tell me everything in detail? " She asked and I told her everything while crying. I didn't touch her. Once I was done, I saw blood in my hands. I went to the bathroom and washed my face and hands. I looked at my hands where her blood was removed from my skin. For the first time, I felt like a killer.

I ignored my thoughts and came out to see my sister putting my niece near her. She looked at me and gestured me to come to her. I sat near her and she patted my head lovingly.

" You know bhai, I know you committed a mistake. I am disappointed. I am disappointed in myself that I didn't realize how lonely you are right now. If there was someone in your life, you may not come here while living that reckless life. But I can see that you met your soulmate in a worst situation. " I looked at her in confusion.

" What do you mean? " I asked.

" Tell me the truth. Haven't you punished many people before? Haven't you killed many people to protect us? " She asked, and I nodded in nervousness.

" Tell me. Have you felt any regret towards them? " She asked, and I shook my head in a no.

" Tell me. This is not the first time an accident happened to you. Then why are you thinking about Nandini and her face all the time? " She asked, and I understood where her mind was going.

" I feel bad for her for destroying her life. I didn't even know her till now. How can you say that she is my soulmate? You are misunderstanding my emotions. " I stated while turning myself making her face my back.

" I know you may not believe me. But I am telling you she is the one you are looking for your whole life. " She stated, and I sighed.

" Take care of yourself. I am leaving. " I stated and left.

I reached the room where Nandini was staying. I sat on the couch and looked at her carefully. She was attached to two to three machines along with a glucose bottle. She looks very innocent while sleeping. I wonder how many blunders it will cause once she wakes up. I looked at her till I slept.

Nandini POV:-

Pain and pain is what I am feeling right now. I groaned when I felt light on my face I heard someone say, " Call the doctor. She is waking up. "

Someone covered the window and I heard the sound of someone sliding the curtains. Someone left the room.

Slowly-slowly, I opened my eyes and looked around. I saw a nurse looking at me and a doctor entered the room. The room is unrecognizable. I understand I am in a hospital room.

" W... Wat..er. " I said as I felt thirsty.

The nurse poured water into the glass and put the straw. She helped me drink the water and I felt relaxed. I felt pain in my whole body.

" What is your name? " The doctor asked.

" I am Nandini Verma. " I replied.

" What last thing you remembered? " He asked, and I thought about it. Then I remembered I had an accident and a truck rolled over my legs. I looked at the duvet which hid my lower body. I removed the duvet slowly with the help of my right hand as I felt pain in my left hand. I saw half of my thighs covered with bandages and other parts of my legs disappeared from their position.

" AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! " I screamed. I touched the bandaged area. I felt pain and realized this was the truth. I lost my legs.

I looked at the doctor with rage and caught his coat. I roared, " Tell me! Tell me, doctor. where are my legs? What happened? "

" Truck tires rolled on your legs which tore your tissues, muscles, and bones. We can't correct them. So, we had to cut your legs in order to save you. You fractured your left hand. That's the reason. We put the poster in your hand. " He confessed, and I looked at my legs then my left hand. I felt defeated.

" Where is my family? " I asked.

" Your husband is outside. " He replied and I looked at him with confusion.

" Please leave and tell him to come inside. " I stated while tears were falling from my eyes.

I couldn't believe I lost my legs. I am sure my mother doesn't know about it. Else she would be here with me when I woke up. God, How I will take care of my family.

I cried while thinking about every consequence my family faced because of me. Suddenly the door opened, and I was shocked to see my tormentor who looked at me with blank eyes and face.
