《HER REPLACED GROOM》CHAPTER-70
Advertisement
You are asleep from past six months, how I wish you would be here with me, not in another world, stroking my back and running your fingers through my hair just like you used to do every night. Our legs tangled beneath this silk sheet, as I gently scratch my nails in your beard, while giving you little pecks here and there, just to see the pink forming around your ear. And there are so many things I could say to you, do to you, about how I want to make plans for you, me and our baby.
The ache inside me keeps on increasing as I look at the person who make me realize all the things, I thought I would never have.
I know you are asleep, you are close to me yet miles away, but I promise you Ranveer, even if I have to walk through all your dreams, I'll be seeing you soon. This time your Ishika will snatch you from everyone whoever will try to take you away from me.
Your Ishika will wait for you here........ even it takes our whole life, just... just come soon to me, to us... Ranveer.
Almost six months have passed, but there is no improvement in him. I have returned an hour or so back from my business trip. and now I am lying on my bed looking at the person whom I love so much, lying lifelessly with so many tubes injected with, in coma, anyone can mistake him to be dead if not for the ECG machine and the movement of his ribs moving up and down. he has been like this from past five months, my eyes moistens as I remember that dreadful day of my life.
"arghhh!!!" I mumbled in pain as my head start hurting like hell. I tightly closed my eyes and slowly open them, blinking a few times to get accustomed with the white light and hold my head as another painful whimper left my mouth.
"Doctor, doctor, see fast. Ishika woke up." Familiar voice rang through my ear as I look around distracting myself from the budding pain, and found myself on the hospital bed, Gautam yelling at the intercom, while looking at me.
I look down as to get comfortable and saw myself in heavy lehnga when all memory came running back to me and I yelled,
"Ranveer!!!" Gautam came running to me as I start getting up from the bed, stopping me in middle. Doctor comes inside and start checking me much to my dismay, and soon let me go after much persuasion.
I ran outside and went to the floor where Ranveer's operation was going, as I reached there, I saw, mom, dad, few relatives and most importantly Leonardo, pacing around the closed gate. He saw me and embrace me in a tight hug and I let my tears out, as I cried hysterically, asking him to call Ranveer to me.
"Ishika stop crying, if you will cry like this, then this will have a bad impact on your baby......... At least for the baby stop crying. Ranveer will be okay in no time." Leo said wiping my teary face and made me sit beside mom, who also embrace me tightly.
"Leo, that lady, is she still alive?" I asked, he with a long pause nod his head but continue with his words, we stood away from everyone with Gautam being with us.

"She is still alive because it's up to you, what you want to do with her..... When I reach there I saw you both lying on the ground and she was trying to run away, but we captured her and was giving her the best service one should do with their enemy...... I just don't want your hands to be colored in her blood, you just say and I will end her for good this time." Leo requested cupping my cheeks, as I shook my head at him.
"No, she did the sinful act this time,....... all the time I left her just because she is plotting against me, but no, this time she tried..... no she actually shot her gun at my Ranveer, I won't let her die easily Leo. I won't. You just take me to her when I asked you to." I said with utmost calmness, but my eyes are speaking heights, they were burning with anger, pain, guilt most importantly revenge.
**********
"The bullets have been removed, but still, he is in critical situation. The poison was in his body for a long time which might led him in coma for some time, the scars might leave with passing time and yes, he is out of danger now.... He might get his conscious back in few hours to few days." The doctor said after the wait of long five hours and leave from there, telling us that Ranveer will be shifted to the private room in sometime.
After almost ten hours later Ranveer got his conscious back, and nurse ask us to meet him one by one. I asked mom and dad to go before they could ask me to go inside. I just can't let this feeling of guilt which is eating me from inside let go, that all this happen because of me, Ranveer took those bullets which have my name on it. I should be the one lying there not Ranveer. I won't h-
I jerk from my thoughts as I found someone wiping my tears, as I look up to see who it was, dad took me in a tight embrace,
"Ishika, it's not your mistake child, stop thinking all this negative thoughts. What Ranveer done is something one would do for the person they love. How can Ranveer let his Ishika die in front of him. Hmm. Now stop crying, and go meet your husband who don't want to meet us but you. go fast before he sleeps again." Dad opened the door for me and gestures me to go inside and close the door behind.
With shaky breath, wobbly legs I move forwards without lifting my face, trying hard to control my tears, as I know her don't like them one bit,
"Ishi......." I heard a whisper, and at that moment my tears flow down as I find myself hugging him. He let out a whimper, as I unintentionally touched his wound.
"Sorry, sorry. Should I call the doctor. Where is pain, is it paining too much. Wait I go and call the doctor." I start panicking hearing his whimpers and turn around to go out and call the doctor, but I heard him again calling me.
"I love you, Ishika. Just.... Jus... wai..t.. for.. me." He mumbled and closed his eyes as my tears again flowed down seeing him looking pale almost lifeless. Suddenly his heartbeat starts rising, doctor and nurses rush inside the room asking me to leave the room. I dejectedly walk out of the room not before mumbling my love to him.

"Sorry, but Ranveer has fallen in coma. He might take few days to few weeks to wake up......" doctor keep on saying few more things but it seems nothing reached my ears as everything around me keep running in slow motion, someone is shaking me but I don't feel anything, it become hard for me to breath, black dots start forming in front of me,
I have controlling myself; I took few deep breathes.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
After controlling myself I called Leo, and ask him to take me to her. He tried declining me after looking at my condition, but I stubbornly order him to do what I ask, he nodded his head, and took me with him to the warehouse he has kept her prisoned.
************
"Well, if it isn't for the lady who tried to run away from me." I said while sitting on the chair in front of the lady who is sleeping to get some rest after being beaten till blue. Leo throws a bucket of ice-cold water making her shriek as her wounds start paining. She gulped quite oxygen to control her beats, then look around and finally saw me.
She snorts looking at me, and Leo again slap her hard against her left cheek making her wince in pain.
"I told you not to play with my family. Didn't I?" I asked gritting my teeth, tilting my head a little left side. She laughs out loud hearing me.
"So, my little granddaughter, ....... How does it feel? Losing the best thing ever happened to you." she asked in her pathetic voice, my heart broke hearing her as I remember Ranveer's condition back in hospital.
"I like it, I really like the way you said it. It means that I don't have to be nice anymore." I smirk looking at her, and ask the man who have weapons spread in front of him to grab a knife. He came forward as Leo came and stand besides me.
I nodded my head at the man and he cut her pinky finger slowly giving her immense pain as she cry out loud. I chuckle looking at her pained face.
"This is just the beginning....... You have ruined everything I loved. And now you'll watch yourself burning in the fire you had created." I state looking at her who is yelling in pain as the man move to cut the next finger.
"Leo, give her so much pain that she will beg for you to kill her. Give her slow death, that her generations tremble just by hearing my name. because she deserves to be dead." I ordered and left the place confidently, keeping my right hand over my abdomen where our baby is growing.
Leo soon came out after ordering his right hand as what to do with that lady, and took me back to the hospital.
**********
Whole week has passed in hope that Ranveer will be up in next second but nothing happened. With much insistence Ranveer was transferred from Chandigarh to Delhi, it took us a few days to do that. Everyone insisted me to go back home and rest for a while but I didn't move from the room in which Ranveer is.
This morning when two nurses came in the room asking me to go outside as they want to clean him and change his dress, I strictly declined them. How can I let other girls watch my man. Conscious or not, I wont let anyone invade his privacy..... after cleaning him, and changing his dress I sat on the chair placed beside him, holding his hand in mine.
I ran my fingers through his hair, and gave his hand a kiss, to control myself from another crying session. I start my daily rant to him hoping that he is actually listening my words. That's another thing I wont get any response but still one can hope right.
The day I share him the news of my pregnancy was the same day Ranveer had his birthday; knowing that everyone already knows was really a tough task, knowing he wont smile, cry or ... I don't know what might be his reaction. But one thing I know that he wont like me crying over him.
Leo told me that the lady was died in a week as she can't control the pain and her body was sent to her house with a note to entire Singh family as to never meddle in my business. And soon I heard Rudra took his family back to Greece, within few days.
Ranveer was in hospital for more than a month, but then doctor suggested us to take him to home and gave him all the medications will be provided in the house, as change in atmosphere might help him. And also living in hospital is not good for the child.
I wipe my face, hearing a knock on the door, mom walk inside the room with a glass of warm almond milk. Mom sat down beside me, handing the glass of milk, I drank it and gave it back to her, she asks me to lie down on her lap, I did as she asked, and again we start our chit chatting about what I did there, and some few old memories here and there. And soon I find myself closing my eyes and slipping in deep slumber, as I feel her giving me a peck on my head.
My eyes shot open when I heard my name, a familiar voice echoed through my ears as I looked at the source of the voice, so many emotions ran through my body, I couldn't believe what I saw so I tried to twitch myself but when I saw whatever I am seeing is true, I jolted from my place and embrace the person in front of my eyes who look at me in confusion, which I found quite weird. I shook off the feeling I am feeling now. My eyes star leaking as I start kissing all over the face of a person, I am dreading to see from past few months which felt like eternity.
"STOP!" the said person yelled pulling himself out of my grip, as I look at him with confusion and worry in my eyes. I thought I might have pressed his wound unintendedly. But his next words surprised me to the core.
