CHAPTER- 69❣️

Naina's P.O.V

Life hates me and so does God. I'm sure of it.

How many more incidences until I completely loose it. How many more that I give up on life, on everything around me.??

Taking away my loved ones does the job and having enemies threatening my every step does the job too.

My life was more of a statistical chart that was controlled by forces unknown to me. It's like they controlled my life, toying with it. And What's more is that I let it. But I didnt know and I still don't. And I won't get to know either because something else comes up beofre I can even process the previous one.

The hospital has given me so much hurt and pain. Seeing my loved ones on that bed fighting for their life because someone else didn't like them breathe.

My cheeks were all wet and I looked dead. Everyone was here, everyone. But that didn't matter unless the person who did this is dead. Cause then they'll just keep doing it again and again.

Pure, hot, wild rage filled me as a strong feeling of revenge came over me. My eyes were red and I couldn't fathom anything other than finding the person who did this to my love. My life.

I got up, not looking at his pale and lifeless face anymore, bandages all over his body and his life hanging on a machine that beeps and tells us everything. My jaw clenched and fist too and I stormed out dialing a number who I was sure was going to find this person.

On the third ring, a voice kicked in

"Hello?"

"Sohail it's naina! I need your help urgently" I said making it clear what was going on.

"On my way" he said and cut the call.

Good, we couldn't waste any more time.

~~~~~~~~~

Sohail stood shocked and the scene and what I just told him. His face went pale hearing it. I didn't want to remember it but I had to if I needed his help.

"Who did this to him?" He asked as his fist clenched.

"That is why I need your help. Please" I said pleadingly.

He turned to me and held his Palm out.

"Dont! Don't say please. Adi and I may be distant friends but he was the reason my life changed. And the reason where I am now. I owe him my life" he said looking at adi. He closed his eyes and opened the again.

Something like determination and revenge flashed across them.

"Lets go! How's the driver" he asked as we exited the hospital.

The driver was even severe. "Not good, even worse than adi" I said. He called the bodyguard towards him.

"Where were they when the accident happened" he asked folding his arms.

"Sir, they Crossed a Cafe. A car was already following them but at a distance. The driver didn't see it coming." He said in a monotone.

Cafe! Wait!

"The Cafe they crossed would have cameras and that would tell us who was following him" Sohail said looking at me. A flicker of hope passed my face as he sad what I was about to.

I nodded.

"Can you see that footage? Will the Cafe owner allow that?" I said as we hurried to his car and sat down.

"Who the hell needs permission?" He said devilishly.

And pressed his foot on the gas as we took of.

Don't worry adi! I got you.

~~~~~~~~~

I stood watching sohail type furiously for the past 10 minutes. He kept taking notes and calling people and finally looked up from His screen.

I got and went to him.

"Ok here we go!" He said and played the footage.

After five minutes adis Car drove by and then a minute after another car drove by.

Sohail hit pause and zoomed in to see the person behind the glass.

Who the hell is he? A young face. The picture wasn't clear enough but that face was angering me. I just wanted to rip it off his head. Bastard.

"Sohail can you get information about him?" I asked as my phone rang.

"You got it" he said and went back to typing.

I picked up the call. It was mom.

"Naina, adis awake" she rushed and my eyes widen.

God finally!!

"Sohail, he's awake!" I said and went to him. He smiled in relief.

"Lets go, I can work at the hospital too" he said and we both took off again.

~~~~~~~~~

I went inside the room and fresh tears sprang out of my eyes as he looked at everyone around him. His eyes fell on me and he gave me a faint smile.

I rushed towards him and hugged him tightly. It felt good to be in his arms. They were heaven. And my home. I sobbed harder until he spoke something.

"Why are you crying?" He asked weakly holding my hand. "I'm not dead, nothing can separate us" he smiled.

I snatched my hand away from his and his smile disappeared.

"Don't you fucking say that ever again! And yes you almost got separated from me." I yelled at him. Everyone in the room was taken aback at my outbursts and I cared less if I cursed infront of my in laws.

Silence greeted me for a minute when mom and dad and vidhi and abhi ran towards adi and hugged him like anything.

I kept crying and ma came towards me and hugged me. Why would he ever say that? There are enough people in this world that do what we fear to. And someone just did.

I just stood there watching him come back to life while someone out there made sure he lost it. Hot rage filled me. Sohail entered as well and smiled at adi.

"Hey man! How you doing?" He said and bro hugged adi.

"Why you acting like we aren't best friends?" Adi said raising his eyebrows. Sohail stood silently and looked down.

"Hey! It's okay! We are friends! Best Infact! Don't let that one incident ruin it! I've forgiven you long back." Adi said and smiled at him.

What incident!????

Sohail smiled and they shared a good Deep hug.

"Thanks man!" Sohail said and smiled, that reached his eyes.

Adis eyes fell on me again and he wanted to come closer to him. I did.

He held my hand "I'm sorry. I won't say anything like that again"

And just like that my fucking sensitive heart melted and I cried again. We all had a group hug until pushed all of us of him except me.

"Who did this to you!?" Mom asked angrily.

Don't worry mom I'm working on it.

"I gonna kill the person who put my sons life on stake" dad said. He barely recovered from his stroke and seeing his son like this broke him even more.

"Don't worry mom dad. I got it"

All of them looked at me and I looked back. I was not backing down without a fight.

"Well fuck it! Then we got it too" mom yelled and looked at me.

The family's eyes bawled out hearing her.

"What!?" She said looking around.

"You just cursed" vidhi said, her mouth open.

Is that big deal! Oh maybe it is!

"Yeah! I've never heard you do that before" dad said looking at her.

The mood ad air suddenly changed into something more lively.

"Yeah mom! That's so cool" adi said weakly.

She put her chin up and said with an attitude "desperate times, desperate measures" she said.

"Damn! That's Tom cruise!" Abhi exclaimed.

We all broke out into a fit of laughter and the air finally,lying was warm and soothing. But not entirely. I still had to find out who did this.

I looked at Sohail and he looked back at me and nodded.

"But bhai seriously! We were so scared" abhi said getting all emotional.

"Yeah" said vidhi.

Adi opened his arms "sibling hug" he said and they both jumped in and crushed him until he pushed them off saying 'pigs'.

Mom and dad smiled.

Me and Sohail went out and he took a deep breath.

"The car we saw is registered under the name 'Rajiv sharma' and I gathered information about him and turns out the person driving the car was his son!" He said.

My eyebrows furrowed. Why would he want to hurt adi? What's his relationship with adi? I Mean it get it that with power comes enemies but something doesn't fit right here.

"I don't understand why would he-" Sohail cut me off

"Rajiv Sharma Is samar's uncle." Sohail said.

I stilled. And so did Sohail for a minute. Samar? That bastard? The reason behind every pain and suffering of mine. It's like he feeds off of it.

He needed someone to do his work for him. He wanted to complete what he started. To hurt us. To hurt my family. And he was successful. How could I not think about it.

His threats but I didn't pay attention, cause I thought that now he was powerless in jail. But no, I should've known that corrupt attracts corrupt. That mind is only attracting negativity, and projecting that towards my family.

And I've- NO! That's enough! Not now, not ever again. This ends now. And I'll make sure of it.

~~~~~~~~~~

I stood in front of the very person I was once afraid of.

It took me a while to think why he's not broken yet! Why isn't he fearful. He hasn't lost everything yet then why? Why is he not scared for everything he's done.

Or maybe he believes that he can somehow get out of all this. He has someone to help him. Where is he getting all this help from? This help is hurting my family and I'll put an end to his help.

"You it took me a while to understand why a person hurts another person" I said and crossed my arms and looked at him.

He looked like shit! But that mind was feeding off of that shit!

"And I found out reasons for that. Either that person is jealous, or he wants revenge or maybe he's a psychopath who loves feeding off of others pain"

"The only thing I can exlude in these 3 reasons is revenge but the other two apply to the situation well"

I looked at him and tilted my head as if in control of everything. He didn't say anything, just kept looking.

"How's Priya by the way?" I asked casually and his facial expressions changed. He got up in an instant and came over and grabbed the bars angrily.

God! It always works!

Priya! His ex girlfriend who left him. He was hurt, kept stalking her, proving how much he loves her.

"I hope she's doing good with her husband" I said looking at my nails. Anger flashed on his face and he gritted his teeth, tightening his hold on the bars.

I kept looking at him, watching how this one word ended or made his life.

"I'll make sure to send you pictures of her baby shower" I smiled cruelly and rammed the bars and I laughed.

Something to get him to face the pain. Just a trailer.

"And sending your uncles son to act as vidhis boyfriend and get information about adi was a really stupid move. You knew she was innocent and you thought of that as the perfect opportunity.I hope you rot in hell" I said my expressions changing.

He was just someone hired by my sister at first. Then I don't know what happened that made him hurting us his personal mission.

"Cause now all of you are going to rot in this cell wishing why you were even born" I whispered cruelly making sure every word enters his brain and watch him replay it every time I play with his life.

From the corner of my eye I saw a figure walking in. I smirked. Sohail must've told him! But I don't care cause this guy is going down.

"So this is the guy who who's ass can't take happiness huh?!"

Dad came up beside me looking so deadly. He could blow like a bomb anytime.

"I'll make sure that ass is no more so it can't take anything at all." He said dangerously and whispered something to his guard.

I did see him shiver a little. Good! He should! Every time my happiness takes place, sadness would be the only thing greeting him.

We both gave him that look that was so permanent that he was gonna see punishment we thought of.

We both sat in the car, relief washing over me. Finally. That chapter ends now. And forever.

Dad spoke up suddenly "I should've known! Vidhis boyfriend. Done a background check like every father does for his daughter bit I- i- I didn't cause........cause I trusted her. She didn't break my trust, but someone broke hers and breaking her trust means breaking mine. And I don't take that very lightly." He said as his tone changed from emotional to dangerous.

"Betreyal hurts" he whispered. "What am I gonna tell your mom. She dosent know. Not yet and I can't tell her" dad said and slumped on the seat.

I kept a hand on his shoulder and hand. Mom had gone through so much. And knowing that her daughters boyfriend is behind all this, she will break even more. No one can be trusted.

"She is strong and the most understanding mom ever, she knows what's right and what wrong and who to believe and how to act. In all, she's a package full of perfection" I said squeezing his hand. This isn't our fault.

"I can't have her go through that again. I just can't." He said as his voice broke.

"She's strong and bold as a rock. When you're ready you tell her." I said and rubbed his shoulders. Our parents have gone through so much and we fail to acknowledge it at times.

They sacrifice their world to build ours and that's much better than theirs, they make sure of it.

He looked at me and nodded, the worry not leaving his face.

We drove to the hospital, pain and worry laden faces.

We walked in and took the elevator to our floor and walked outside. Just as we took a right turn we halted.

What the fuck?

Vidhi was in Sohail arms and he was rubbing her back. His chin was on her head. She was crying and sobbing.

Dad stood still before clenching his fist and walking over to them. Oh shit! No no! He is very protective of his daughter.

Vidhi saw him and her eyes turned wide and she pushed Sohail away. He looked at her I  confusing and then saw what she was pointing at, his eyes turned wide too.

"Uh uncle its...it's not what you think. I was uh.....I was just..."

Dad cut him off by holding out his palm. Okay! This could go a better way.

He looked at vidhi and gently grabbed her hand and took her in with him. She gave Sohail one last look beofre going!

Did I miss something?

I looked at Sohail and gave him a reassuring smile.

Wow! Greetings to New relationships and happiness.
