Entangled Destiny

First Meeting

After putting sleeping Yuvi to bed, I was walking in his room back and forth trying mom dad's number continuously, it’s now 2.15 AM and still no sign of their arrival. I was about to call Salman Bhai to ask him to search for them when my phone rang showing the number of our hospital. I started shivering to see that number because why would they call me in the middle of the night, something definitely went wrong and this thought brought sweat on my forehead. I wanted to cut the call but I pushed all my negative thought in the back of my head and pressed on the green button.“ hello Prisha, sir, and ma’am got into an accident and they are admitted here. Please come soon and…’’ before she could complete her sentence my mobile dropped from my hand. I looked at Yuvi for the last time and saw that he was smiling in his sleep. I silently exited his room and once out from his room. I started running toward our outhouse where Salman bhai lives. I started banging the main door like a madwoman and when Salman bhai opened the door I dropped on my knees like there is no energy left inside me,

Prisha? what happened? Why are you crying? Salman bhai sat on his knees and asked me.

“Mom dad got into an accident,” I said between my sobs.

What ? how do you know ?” he said holding my both arms.

“I got a call from our hospital, she said they are admitted there. Please take me there bhai as soon as possible.” I said and started crying heavily.

Get up prisha. They both will be fine. I will take you there don’t worry. Where is Yuvi, bring him.

No, please not right now. I can’t handle him right now. Let him sleep. I do not have any answer to his question.

Okay fine. Get up let's go

Who is banging our door so loudly? Oh my god, what happened ma’am? Vinay came out from inside and after seeing my state his mouth was wide open.

Vinay you need to guard Yuvi till we come back, he is in his room. Sir got into an accident so we need to leave right now. Salman bhai grab my hand and we started walking towards the car

Don’t worry about anything I will take good care of him. Vinay said behind our back and we entered into our car.

But what they don’t know is that someone smiled behind their back seeing their miserable condition “Destruction of Khurana family is started. This was just a trailer.”

15 minutes later

We were in a parking lot outside the hospital when Salman bhai asked me to come out I was like paralyzed I wasn’t able to move. Salman bhai came to my side and grabbed me by my shoulder dragging me outside. “ Bhai I will stand here you go inside and check them please I don’t want to go inside I don’t want to face this situation,” I said and started crying again. “ Stay strong prisha they will be alright. Hold yourself because you are their daughter. They need you now let’s go inside.” Salman bhai said holding my hand tightly and we started walking inside going towards reception.

Where are sir and ma’am? Salman bhai asked the receptionist. He is in operation theatre on 3rd-floor room no. 3 and… before she could complete we turned around to leave but I stopped in my track and turned around to look at receptionist “ where is mom?” I asked her almost in a whisper. “ I don’t know how to say this but she is no more, she died on the spot.” She said in low voice but her sentence broke everything inside me, I was about to collapse on the ground but Bhai grabbed me from my arms and dragged me inside lift. “She left us, she left us all alone. She is gone. I repeated this in a loop when someone slapped me right across my face to bring me out from my trance. Salman bhai grabbed my both arms and started shaking me “ Hold yourself Prisha, you need to be strong right now” he said. “ no, no I can’t do this please take me out, I don’t want t to be here you go and check papa” I said and started pushing his hand away. “ are you mad you need to see him right now let's go prisha. your father needs you” he said the lift opens up and again he dragged me out and we stopped in front of OT waiting for doctors to come and after a few minutes team of doctors came out “ how is he?” Salman bhai asked doctors. “He suffered a head injury and also multiple bone fracture, we are in urgent need of AB NEGATIVE but we do not have, we enquired in nearby hospitals but it's not available. Try to arrange it as soon as possible.” The doctor said and left from there.

“I am going out to search for blood and call some people meanwhile you will not go out from this hospital,” Salman bhai said I nodded my head without uttering any word, he squeezed my shoulder and then left from there.

I sat on the bench nearby when a nurse comes out from OT and look at me with pity in her eyes “ where you kept mom? I want to see her” I asked and she nodded her head asking me to follow her. I stood up from the bench and started following her, and after crossing 7-8 room she pointed her towards a room and asked me to enter and she left from there. As soon as I see “ MORGUE “ word on the door I ran away from there, I keep on running till I came out of the hospital, I saw a garden opposite hospital I sat on the bench in the garden and started crying my heart out. After some moment I felt someone behind I turned around to look but there was no one. I was about to get up and go inside to dad when my palm touched something soft beside me on the bench, I saw a handkerchief I picked it up and saw initial KM engraved on it in purple color. I kept it in my pocket ran inside the hospital again.

**********

I was sitting outside OT when the doctor came and called me “ where is Salman? we need blood right now because we are losing him. He is not in a stable condition” he said and panic rose inside me, I don’t know what came inside me and I grabbed the collar of the doctor ” you have to save him, doctor, I don’t know how will you do it, but you have to save him” I was still holding him by the collar and yelling at him when a nurse came behind me and said “ leave him, we have arranged blood” she said I left his collar as soon as I understand what she is saying. I quickly said sorry to the doctor for my behavior and he nodded his head saying alright and went back inside OT after directing the nurse to bring blood soon. I again sat on the bench and nurse bring a glass of water for me and said ”I know it's not the right time to say this but I think you should go and thank the gentleman who agreed to give blood because he came to give blood to someone else but after listening to your yelling and cries he himself got ready to give his blood despite knowing it's not healthy for him” I looked at her for a moment “ where is he? “ I asked the nurse.“ he is in room no. 5 go straight and take a left, I will come in a few minutes. I need to tell the doctor that he is donating blood again.” She said and left.

**********

I knocked on room no. 5 and a faint voice came " come in." I opened the door silently with my head down. I reached near the bed and said “ thank you very much for saving my dad’s life. I will forever be indebted by you” but I didn’t receive any response for my thanks. So I looked up and saw that a pair of light brown eyes staring at me. I don’t know why but I found his eyes familiar, maybe because mom also have the same light brown eyes. We both were staring at each other for a moment when the door cracked open and the same nurse walked in going near him to remove the syringe from his hand and told him to take orange juice and then left again.

“There is no need to thank me I am glad that I can help in saving someone’s” again his voice seems familiar. What the hell is wrong with you Prisha your mom is dead and your father is fighting for his life and you, you are thinking about this guy right now.

He was about to get from bed but I saw his eyes blacked out, so I rushed to his side to support him and made him sit on the bed. “ you should rest for some time. Let me call nurse she will bring juice here”. I said and turned around to leave but he held my wrist. I turned towards him when he said there is no need to do that and he is fine. Then I looked at him again and our eyes locked again. When someone entered again, he left my hand quickly and we composed ourselves.

“ boss you need to leave right now. Bigg boss is asking about you “ he said and the got up from bed going near the door when he turned around and asked me if I need some financial help or any other help.

I smiled at his concern and told him that my father owns this hospital but still, they are not able to save his life. I asked him to pray for my dad that he doesn’t leave me alone in this world again. He nodded his head and left but before leaving I saw some kind of emotion in his eye which maybe pity.
