Chp 10

"Jeet"

Someone's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up only to find Rajveer staring at me. He kept a hand on my shoulder, "You need to aid yourself. You're injured too."

I looked at him and then without saying a word, I just nodded.

He called a nurse and instructed a few things to her.

In another 15-20 minutes the nurse bandaged my wounds.

Now I was pacing outside Nitya' s ward. She had undergone a 6 hours long surgery. Doctors said that she's out of danger but she'll take few hours to regain consciousness. And if she doesn't regain consciousness within 24 hours, she will slip into coma. Although, the chances are less because I got her admitted in time, but still doctors said, they can't be sure about the future.

And now I'm even more concerned about her. I want her to regain consciousness. I won't be able to digest anything happening to her because of me.

She doesn't deserve to be on the hospital bed just because I made a no nonsense diamond deal with that motherfucker Uday.

I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath.

I looked at her from the glass of her ward's room.

She was lying on the hospital bed with a drip attached to her hand. Her face looked pale. Her forehead had a small bandage.

And suddenly her smiling face flashed in front of me.

I remembered how she used to smile while drafting her novel's chapter on the laptop. It was as if she wasn't writing about her characters, but her own self. And not to mention, how she always forgot to eat her meals while getting engrossed in her laptop. I noticed it quite well ever since we got married.

But whenever I cooked for her, she couldn't stop her chatterbox self from admiring my cooking skills. And to be honest, I always loved to see her smile when she talked about the food.

Her life was so simple, so pretty back then, but ever since she married me, it is nothing but a tragedy for her.

She was just coping up from the loss of our parents when suddenly this happened. That day too, she was about to get attacked in the mall because of me, but I got the information in time and I prevented the attack.

But for how long will she suffer because of me?

How can I forget that I'm not alone now? My one decision can cost her life too.

Urgh! How can I mess the life of my own wife? Where the hell was my brain rotting all the while?

"Jeet" I sensed a hand on my shoulder. I know who it was.

"I messed up a big time, Veer. She didn't deserve this. I - I failed to protect her."

"Shhh. You did everything you could do to protect her. Don't blame yourself. And she'll be fine. Trust me." he tried consoling me, but my case was just too much far from the consolation. I know how my one wrong decision has costed on her life.

What if she actually slips into coma? What am I going to do then? I - I can't let this happen but I can't even stop it. I - I feel so helpless right now. Why the fuck did I even do that deal? Why didn't I think about her?

"Jeet, calm down. You're stressing yourself -"

"I can't. I -I don't know what to do. I -I feel so lost. W -what if she actually slips into coma? Rajveer, if anything like this happens, I -I won't be able to forgive myself. I -I"
