Chapter Thirty-Four : Get well soon
Tanya
*Present*
Suddenly I started feeling a
headache and warmth increasing inside me. I felt as if someone was rubbing my
palms. I pulled that hand into grip and it felt warm. The headache increased as
I tried to open my eyes. Eyelids appeared to be heavy as I slowly opened my
eyes. For the first few moments my vision blurred but later I could see clearly
as Rehan jumping with joy. I smiled as he kissed my forehead.
I could see the happiness on
his face. He pushed the nurse calling
button asking her to call the doctor When doctor arrived, she asked Rehan to
move out. He stood there like a stubborn child until he was emphasised on moving
out. I smiled as I saw his grumpy face when tried to peep in through the glass
window while the nurse pulled over the curtains.
Doctor did a thorough check
up right from checking my senses. She asked me if I could feel the pain. She
checked my eyes, ears and mouth as I pulled my tongue out. She noted the
observations and asked me to walk and jog around a little as she removed the
apparatus from my hand which was used to monitor me while I was unconscious.
She carefully kept on noting down her observations on the paper hooked on her
writing pad which she had been holding on from quite a while.
After a few minutes she asked
me to eat and drink something and they exited the room. I could see the
happiness on Rehan's face as he rushed into the room as soon as doctor had
left. He pulled me into a hug me and pulled a chair to sit as he held my
hand.
I was looking above thinking
about us, "What were you thinking?" he asked caressing my cheek.
"I was just thinking
about us Rehan. “I replied. The events of that night played in my mind as it
drained the smile off from my face. My vision blurred due to tears.
"Hey! Hey! Shsshh!!
Don't cry and stop thinking about it now." he said as he cupped my face
wiping off the tear droplet as rushed down my cheek.
"I think you should
sleep now. We'll talk about it later tomorrow early morning." he said as
he patted my head rhythmically as I tried to sleep.
I couldn't help but I was
wide awake the whole night. I was unable to sleep maybe as I had already slept
a lot. I just glanced towards Rehan as I saw he was still holding my hand and
had dozed off to sleep laying his head on the bed. I tossed and turned a little
as to have a better look.
Watching someone sleep
especially someone whom you adore is really fun. I gently played with his hair
as he was off to dreamland in his sleep.
Next morning was a bit weird
to start as Rehan had forgotten to inform Dad that about my condition and he
had received more than 100 messages and missed calls.
"How I didn't notice any
of these arriving?" He said as he quickly glanced at his mobile screen.
"Maybe you had left your
phone on silent?" I suggested.
"Oh yes that could be.
Ahh Hello! I am so sorry. I had just left my phone on silent and didn't notice
any of your calls." He replied to me as he moved towards the window
talking on phone.
"Yeah, She is wide awake
since last night." He continued to update dad about my status as I rolled
my eyes.
"No, they have not
spoken anything regarding it. I'll have a check and let you know soon."
"Yes, She had her fruits
for her breakfast as recommended by the doctor." He talked on phone while
staring at me.
"You want me to hand her
the phone?" I nodded in ‘NO’ as he grinned.
"Why?"
"Oh, yeah I get it. No
worries. I am here, see ya." He kept talking over the phone as out of
boredom I had started to play with oranges throwing them in air and catching
them back as they fall in my lap.
Rehan crossed his arms and
started to watch me with a smile as I continued to do what I was doing.
"What? I am BORED."
I said quoting the word 'BORED' with my fingers. He chuckled and handed
me my phone. I smiled as I placed the orange back in fruit basket and unlocked
my phone.
"I need to check with
the doctor if you didn't had any serious head injuries as well." He
chuckled as I slapped him on shoulder.
"No need, thanks a lot
for this." I smiled as I showed him my phone.
"Hello miss Tanya how
are you feeling now?" Dr. Pratiksha smiled as she placed her observation
pad on the table alongside.
"Much better doctor,
thanks!" I replied as she continued her regular check-up procedure.
"Mr Rehan, I have good
news for you. You can take her home by this evening." She said noting down
the observations on her pad.
"Thanks Doctor! You are
awesome." Rehan said as Doctor chuckled and waved exiting room.
"I have some work due
which needs to be done as soon as possible. Uncle will be here in a few
minutes. I gotta go, will see ya directly at home sweet home as I need to
prepare for your welcome back." He winked and shoved his phone into pocket
as he left.
For the next few minutes I
just scrolled through my phone thinking about Ruhani. Where was she? I started
preparing a mental to-do checklist as I continued to think about that night.
The wedding must have been called off and everyone must be sad. I need to talk to Ruhani and sort this out. Somehow I had started to feel the guilt of betrayal. But I made up a smile as Dad arrived and pulled me into a hug.
