Chapter 2|Accident

last update Last Updated: 2023-04-07 20:25:18

'Wait ma sa, can you handover your phone to Nandini. She isn't picking up my calls...',she was perturbed by his question. A cold bead trailed down the arch of her neck. What will she say now? A new wave of terror started creeping inside her heart paralyzing her every muscle...

'She...she's gone to her friend Riddhi's house', she bit her tongue, barely able to lie. 'Where is her phone then?!', his voice turned cold as a freezer as if sensing something to be off.

'There a...are wedding preparations going on in her hou..house so she might be assisting them. She's not your babysister anymore, stop c..'

'She's adult but not for me. She's still my babysister and she's answerable to me for everything!!', his steel voice boomed resounding in her quitetude chamber. She could hear her own pulse beating wildly in her ear, her erratic heart felt as if it would leap into the pit of her stomach. His icy voice sent jolts of shivers down her spine, how many and how much lie she'll have to utter to get away with one truth..?

Next morning...

Daksh adjusted his foot on the gas pedal, tightly gripping the steering as his hooded gaze was anchored on the man holding a checkered flag in his hand standing on the track, the adrenaline pumping elevating his heart rhythm as he was doing the burn out, his tires emitting a dense smoke shielding the view of the racing track.

He lined his car with the adjacent cars on the starting line, excitement and thrill of the uncertainity of time of flag being waved is what enlivens his mood, electrifying every fibre of his body. Getting the signal, he pushed his foot on the gas pedal as he sped off fiercely, mercilessly spearing through the blanket of air as dust particles danced in it's lap, the burn out tires providing the friction to keep the tire on the pavement.

The crowd broke in whistle, howling and hooting as the hubbub gets gradually diminished in the cacophony of the screeching tires. The pressure of overtaking the front Porsche and McLaren made him increase the speed enormously, his tires dragged against the gravel bed making sparks fly off the rubber, he noticed the curb and tried to drift his car but...

His car flew off the tire barrier, turning over multiple times due to the high speed..

Daksh's body was fastened with the seatbelt preventing his ribs from getting severe injuries however he went unconscious from the bashing of his head against the steering, notwithstanding the fact that it was covered in helmet.

His drooping head rested against the steering wheel, blood trickling down the hair soaking his white Armaani in red stains...dense fumes erupted from the wrecked car lowering the visibility to peep inside the tinted glass.

Ambulance rushed, rescue personnel dragged his body out of the demolished front of the vehicle. His limped body quickly transferred over a strecher and rushed towards the city hospital, siren blaring in the traffic rush as it tore between the automobiles. He has lost a lot of blood...developing a high chance of him slipping in coma.

The heart rate that was shooting all time high under the enigmatic rush of flight and fight hormone has temporarily swept into a state of bradycardia. His pulse was dropping at an enormous speed making the paramedical staff alarmed about the potential of him going under the state cardiac arrest after the severe haemorrhage. 'Keep the ER ready! We have an urgency!!', the paramedic said over the phone with someone, cold sweat forming on his forehead since he recognised the man who is one of the major share holders of his hospital where he's employed.

On reaching near the hospital premises, he was instantly rushed inside the ER with a group of doctors and nurses swarming around his immobile body..'He's suffering Asphyxia!!', one of the doctor's stressed pushing the cotton pad on his injured head as he was pushed inside the ER ward.

...

'Ma(mum), it's okay! I'll arrange the fee anyhow..don't stress yourself!!', Saanvi tried to console her mother who kept sobbing over the phone. Her mother has a history of heart attack, taking so much of load isn't good for her health. 'Ma..calm down! I said I'll arrange it, don't cry for such tiny problems..', she cooed softly.

'How will you arrange? Again borrow it from your friends? Have you ever thought how you're gonna lend it off', she yelled in sheer frustration. 'If I won't be able to pay back, you could do it...afterall I can proudly say that my mother works to educate me and she ain't unemployed!!', Saanvi tried to banter up to lessen her anxiousness but her words sealed her mouth shut. She still hasn't narrated the whole incident to her daughter, it'll negatively affect her studies..!

'Ma..is everything good there, why are you sounding so tensed? Is something bugging you up?', Saanvi's voice turned edgy sensing the eerie silence on the opposite end. Her mother never took so much pressure so why is just a small fee agitating her nerves?

'Y..yeah I'm fine. No need to worry about us, just focus on your final mid terms', her mother's voice strained and the line disconnected. She isn't stupid to believe that everything is alright, her sixth sense alarming her but she's right. Whatever the issue is, her exams are at hand and the urgency is to study. She doesn't want her parents to continue working under someone, be it king or queen!! Royalty status for the riches, she secretly at some extent despised it..

She was treading on the gritty gravel foot lane returning back from the tiresome day in her College where she studies medicine.

The gleam of the orange hue casted over the river bed, sparkling the clear waters as the dusk fell in all it's glory,

Etheral and pious just like the admirer of it. She strolled in the local market looking for some groceries and bird food as she has recently pet a sparrow that she discovered wounded near the pavement in a moribund state.

Picking up all the essentials from the market, she arrived at her hostel in late evening around 6. She stepped towards her room when a girl came crashing towards her, 'Sav!!! Leave these things.. come here!!', her screech felt like countless pins spiked her ear hole.

'Ah..!', she couldn't keep her feet when the girl started propelling her unwilling body to an adjacent room.

'See this!!', she screamed in glee showcasing her few selfies that she clicked with a patient. 'What's so special?', came her inaudible whisper.

'The patient!!', she squealed zooming the picture..

First of all what's with this shrill irritating scream of hers?! Second that she just bobbed her head internally wanting to fly to her room because the face of the patient was covered in bandages, don't understand what was she trying to show that I haven't seen? Even if the patient is relative or VIP, his face ain't conspicuous enough to identify or rectify his identity clearly!!

'Divya, are you thrilled so much because it's your first week of posting in Emergency service and you encountered some celebrity?', she questioned sighing noticing her senior's face electrified in sheer exhilaration...as she was busy gaping at the pictures somewhat consuming her precious time.

'No dumbo, he's a prince of some kingdom in Rajasthan!! I can't believe he's admitted in my hospital!!!', Saanvi shook her head seeing her friend loosing some of her leftover sensible nerves over a mere picture. What would be her reaction if the prince asked her on a date? She giggled internally seeing her friend day dreaming, her face visibly gleaming in radiance..

'Divya..Divya...Divya!!!', she shook her shoulders harshly pulling her out of her reverie. 'Hmm?'

'I'm going back in my room. I have to study for my mid terms', she silently slipped away from the scene, trudging with her heavy and weary steps..It was yet another tiresome day in her life.

Inhaling the familiar faint whip of roses and cinnamon that struck her olfactory receptors the moment she stepped inside her temporary haven, her knotted senses loosened as she felt the soothening euphoria hit her like an ebbing tide. She loves her space. It oozes out strong aesthetic vibes, too cozy, warm and surreal.

Plodding her worn out and drained self on the bed, she unlocked her phone with a click. A message notification poppep on her screen, Your application has been accepted. You can join from tommorow onwards, 5:00 pm.

Words couldn't fathom how her face lit up in zillion candles. Finally she can work beside studying and being burden on her parents anymore. A tranquility masked her countenance instead of running like a frenzy in excitement, a calmness that sucked out her inner turmoil.

She warmed some water in her electric mug. Pouring the blistering hot water in a cup, she dipped the tea bag and sat near the window, staring at the dappling charmer proudly gleaming in silver radiance, it's divine and etheral glow more profound amidst the strech of twinkling diamonds who also bow down to the maiden beauty.

A subtle night breeze knocked her awoken senses into the welcoming arms of drowsiness..her eyelids droop, book fell from her lap as she surrendered her consciouness to the spell of slumber...

    Vast strech of darkness filled the void with sly pearls shimmering arount the pale yellow crescent moon of the midnight sky gleaming in solitude, the crickets were silenced by the blowing breeze as it swishes through the branches, leaves rustling with slight tremor in peaceful murk.The barking of stray dogs broke the somnolence of Akhil who barely fell asleep after continuous twisting and turning on bed.

His face was drenched in sweat due to the lack of aeration.in the packed claustrophobic volume.'You didn't sleep?', his stressed voice drew the attention of the girl reclined against the wall on the floor, eyes wide open yet hollow staring out of the window aimlessly without stirring from the crouched posture.

    Pellucid tears clouded my vision, I stood baffled at his Impassive behaviour. He was staring at me as I could feel his intense heated gaze boring holes in my side skull. 'Was my hold too strong? It wasn't intentional tho!', he whispered slightly inclining towards my shoulder, his warm breath tingled my neck as he spoke since he was positioned parallel to me.Am I thinking too much? Really? Is this how he normally hold hands? But he didn't said sorry for hurting me whether intentional or not. I apprehensively shook my head,'N..no'. Maybe he didn't wanted to hurt me..!'You're looking beautiful wifey!', I heard his low gruff voice sort of a hoarse whisper, his warm breath fanning my cheek as blood rushed to my face flushing it. I lowered my gaze, a tint of strawberry tainting my cheeks. We did the rituals together. During our pheras, I for the first time noticed how tall he is! Probably 6"3' to my 5"7', my height's not less but a lot smaller as compared to his height.But still I couldn

    Morning fell in all it's glory, bronze and violet pastels mixed with the happy orange poured through the pellucid looking clouds wandering fecklessly in the new born sky. Golden threads of morning light peeked through the blinds filling the ambient space with warmth and positivity. It caressed the tear stained face of a girl crouched in a corner of a small chamber, stress lines prominent on her forehead contrast to her once baby like tranquil moon face reflecting a fresh bloom rose in the mist of the woodland.How calm and serene her mind was and now havoc has wrecked her life. Yesterday, she cleaned the entire fourteen rooms of the palace, cooked dinner and washed the pile of dishes in the sink. When no shred of energy was left in her body, she was fed a meal only half stomach being excused as this is the amount of food you must eat in evening. She can't protest since she was threatened to put the life of her brother at stake if she didn't comply. Her back ached with the intense str

    Pale skin, frail body, eye bags under ones captivating deer eyes. She is still a piece of bud, pure and ravishing, elegant and maybe too fragile for human's rough touch. Beauty she is yet the radiance and shimmer from her eyes long gone, concealed in the shady cage of this imperial property. Her guileless, innocent and vulnerable eyes screamed to break the invisible chains of marriage and let her once again soar the boundless sky like a free bird, yet she her wings are clipped and she can't roam freely anymore...like she used to in the golden remembrance of the bygone days. One year has passed in blur, not for the helpless soul that hasn't spent a day without drenching the cold floor beneath her with the emotions that kept flowing like an unstoppable current. Loneliness, disrespect and physical abuse, everything she went through with lips sealed. Two months ago, she was thrashed in an inhuman way, twenty five times with a whip, left to starve and dehydrate herself for two consecutive

    A faint rumble broke the muzzled silence. Dark green hue of the hedges shone in grey radiance as the moon peeks through the navy, dark blue guazy clouds like a cotton candy drenched in shades of grey, sky freckled with countless shimmering stars. She sat on the lush green turf, legs folded to the chest and head resting against it, the mesmerizing sight of the morning was sucked by the gloominess that prevented any light from reaching on the vast streched lawn speaking of horrors of nature and potraying the harrowing emotions that coincides with that of the suffering soul.Life would've been far better in destitude than being caged in the royal walls that looks too appealing to blind the day dreaming creatures from listening to the silent bellowing that are trapped in these walls. If heard with pure devotion, maybe healthy minds can get traumatized.She ignored the hushed footfall approaching the crouched figure near the artificial pond, her reflection apparent in those undulating ripp

    I was despondently heading towards the lounge area when I sensed someone's shadow, towering over my head, just behind me. I turned around and I felt as if my eyes are deceiving me. I finally beheld her face before departing. She was breathing heavily, gasping and all drenched in sweat, her hair all messy and sticking to her face as if she reached here, running a marathon. Being too overwhelmed and scared, I forgot to ask her permission and crashed her into me, tightly clutching her dainty body against my chest.And she too, complied by not pushing me away, this time. After a short while, she shifted a little, indicating to break the hug and I did, freeing her from my smothering hold. That's when I noticed the saree she was wearing, the one I wanted her to wear at the event but she had refused to accept anything from me. Typical she and her queen attitude, well I respect that attitude that's why I am alive.Taking one deep shaky breath, she started shouting or rather roaring at me, imp

    I looked myself in the mirror. The red georgette saree perfectly hugged my curves. With fine intricate designs imprinted on the smooth fabric, the stud earrings overall made my appearance look extremely sophisticated, exquisite and maybe enticing? The event was not the only thing, I am getting ready for. There's something more that matters to me a lot, at least before I take any firm decision in my life and choose whether I live with my past or move on, completely. I haven't read the contents inside of the envelope but since our relationship hasn't completely dissolved in the way it should, I have decided to meet him in person and sort everything out. The one thing that always was always a negative aspect in our lives was the lack of proper and in depth conversation. It was always either an unfriendly and cold encounter or no words exchanged for days. This honestly requires a lot of courage for me to face him after not seeing him for so long, maybe an eternity, well that's an exagger

    A week later Somber night, a masculine figure rolled out of his sleek SUV, parked in front of an abandoned and desolate apartment complex. Black aviator glasses complementing his trimmed beard and overall domineering appearance in brown tuxedo over velvety Armani shirt, hiding a long scar running through his chest after spending three consecutive years behind lock up with inmates, bully and crazy maniacs.His ravening footfalls echoed in the silent corridor as a bunch of armed men advanced through the cramped hallway, following the formidable shadow in order to safeguard him from any potential attacks and threats, the desolate place, a dwelling to countless hazardous pests and toxic contaminants, filled with malodolorous smell lingering in the smothering environment, damp, cold and humid. With one robust push, the metallic door slammed open, revealing a moribund body chained to the walls, stained with ugly patterns of blood splashes all over the surface. 'Is he breathing, still?', t

    The following morningIt was still dark and cloudy outside when Saanvi abruptly woke up from her slumber. Her eyes were swollen and face puffy after the rough evening. So much has happened yesterday that she couldn't get over it. Firstly, she encountered a creepy man at her shop that immediately left after disclosing her identity in a threatening fashion, leaving the bouquet on the counter. Secondly, she was sent a notice regarding the study loan. Thirdly, she received a call from the hospital regarding her mother's critical condition. And lastly, she has to pay rent the following week for which she has no money.She slid off her blanket and made her way towards the balcony to witness rosy hue of the hidden sun. While the darkness was still subduing the light with all it's effort but in the end, light will penetrate no matter what, spearing through the dreariness.

Whilst stepping down the staircase, he saw her standing in the rain with a black umbrella on the side of the lane, the scene pretty much hazy and unclear.He stood watching her stoic face, completely numb and expressionless. Exactly, how he saw her inside the courtroom while the judgement was passed against him. He didn't deny any accusation, the conscience was culpable for crumbling her soul. 'Aren't you going to say anything?', he softly asked from a distance. She shook her head, closing the space between the victim and his cuffed perpetrator.'Instead of saying anything, I want to present you something.

    The turbulent sky of Svamgarh grew leaden and darkening, overcast with ash grey clouds, loured, roaring and thunderous. An ephemeral serein drizzled down on the heated terrace and soon after, the heavy down pour began.The soft mizzle emanated an earthy smell of soaked soil, the dewy petrichor that gradually permeated in the soothing and hushed ambience of the twilight, a sublime and unparalleled blend of lilac and orange, tranquilizing the troubled and anxious state of a woman, leaning against the steel bars with her drenched saree sticking to her wet curves, complementing the dewy texture of her supple and lithe skin underneath the gauzy silk.The puddles, waterlogged, plinked tenderly each time the sparkling beads of rain dropped intermittent kisses on the unmoving waters, spawning ripples. The street was nearly empty with silent commotion, only vigorous pitter pattern reverberated on the concrete lane. She was lost in the cold rain, faint swishing of winds murmuring back tales of
