PART 38
“How is she now? Is she any better?” questioned Anurag, cupping Rachna’s shoulder as she appeared to be every bit of the worn off soul that she was.
“She is a lot more stable than she was a few minutes back, of course, physically. Mentally, I have no idea,” she answered, discarding her gloves in the dust bin as she eyed her dear friend with tears in her eyes.
“Couldn’t she call me once before taking such a harsh decision? Didn’t she consider me to be her friend? Then, why didn’t she find it important to discuss such a crucial matter, before acting on her impulse?” complained Rachna, love pouring out from her eyes and her voice as Anurag took her into his embrace, drawing soothing circles at her back.
“Of course she considers you to be her friend, Rachna. Maybe she did not have it in her to relate the happenings and relive them once again. She is fine now, relax. I have called Arnav and he will be here in a short while,” informed Anurag, as he caressed her hair softly.
“It’s all because of him and you called him. Why, Anurag?” she questioned, looking up into his eyes.
“Because he loves her and that gives him the right to see her. Or in other words, if he is truly guilty, it is his punishment to see her in this state. Do you really think someone who loves children as much as Arnav would intentionally do something to hurt them? He would have been truly unaware of the situation and maybe someone in his company exploited his trust upon them. He was always very irresponsible, spurning away one responsibility if he was taking up another, he could be responsible for only one thing at a time and maybe that ruined everything in his life, starting from his relationship with his parents, Rati and now Khushi,” he explained as Rachna began understanding the situation logically.
“It’s karma, isn’t it? Remember, Arnav did not believe Rati when she told a producer took advantage of her severely inebriated state and she did not indulge in him? Now, maybe, Arnav is only partially at fault and Khushi refuses to believe him. And Khushi, bless her love, gave the idea to Arnav to betray his marriage and she was betrayed by him in something so close to her heart. It’s all karma,” she mused, realizing that they were nothing but puppets in the hands of destiny.
Before Anurag could answer further, they heard Khushi turning in the bed, struggling to turn as her skin was still sensitive. The couple were by her side quickly as Khushi opened her eyes weakly, trying to adjust to the bright light and the blinding pain which coursed through her.
“Rachna...” she whispered as Rachna helped her to change her position and rest her back properly to the backrest so that she did not strain her back further.
“Why did you have to take this step, Khushi? Your Mahadev wouldn’t be pleased to see his devotee trying to burn herself by invoking him,” scolded Rachna as she handed over a water bottle to Khushi as she needed to keep herself hydrated to regain her health faster.
“How is she now? Is she any better?” questioned Anurag, cupping Rachna’s shoulder as she appeared to be every bit of the worn off soul that she was.
