It's been a week since Sakshi di's accident. The doctor said that she showed some signs of recovery, but due to a lot of internal blood loss, she went into a coma, and even the doctor doesn't know when she will wake up. The doctor suggested moving her to our home with 24/7 nurse service.
I miss her a lot. I still can't believe what happened; she would have been married by now. . Last one week was so tough on us... it really took a toll on all of us ... we are just looking forward for her to get well.. I was so so happy when i reached here and learned about her marriage... I was looking forward to it so much ... but right now i am taking care of my parents more .. Mom is okay now since she knows that di is out of danger.. but still she is in coma, thats what bothering me a lot .. Thinking about all this, I cried myself to sleep
After two days, Sakshi di has been shifted to our house with a nurse available 24/7 to take care of her. I always go to that room, talk to her, and tell her to wake up and speak to me, but she is lying there still. Di please wake up ... i thought " When she is going to wake up " i asked to nurse.. she looked at me sympathetically.." Ma'am i wish she will get well soon.. i will try my best to take care of her.. ans she will be okay .." she said .. i nodded at her ..  "Mahi, your father is calling you," mom said. I nodded to her and went to my father.
"Mahi," my father said and hugged me. " Dad is everything okay? What happened?" I asked. My father took a long breath.. " i just want to talk to you about something .." he said seriously.." Yes ..what happened.." i said
"Well, Mahi, do you remember when you asked me to allow you to go for your studies to achieve your dream?" he said. "Yes, I remember," I said confused.. whats the point of bringing this topic right now.. "Well, at that time, I told you that I am allowing you to go and achieve your dream, but in return, you told me that you would do anything I say," he said hesitantly. I looked at him briefly trying to understand what's the point bringing all these things at this point...
"Yes, I made that promise. But what's the point of bringing this. What do you want, Papa?" I asked politely... He looked at me hesitantly..." Tell me..what is it?" i asked again ..."Well, you have to marry someone," he said with sorrowful eyes.I looked at him again...trying to grasp what he just said...
"Whaaattt?" I stammered. "You have to marry someone," he repeated. i laughed a little.. "you are joking right .." i said and he looked at me ..but his eyes are fixated to me.. he is serious... oh yes!!! he is serious about this..."But why? What...look at Sakshi di...why?" I asked, confused. "No ifs and buts, Mahi. I didn't raise any questions when you asked me to allow you for your studies in outskirts.., so this time I want the same. Just understand, I will never think wrong for you,never ever mahi..you have to trust me on that.." he said. " You can't do this to me dad.. you can't " i said .. " I am sorry beta ..i already fixed it .." he said.. " without even asking me?" i said almost shouted .. He looked at me .. i dont care at this time if he is going to angry with me or something .. Its about my life and i am not going to ruin it by marrying someone ..
" Mahi is this the way you talk to me ?" he said almost shouted at me .. " Listen Dad at this point i really dont have any idea what i am saying and how i am saying.. so i am really sorry for the way i am talking to you ..you have to bear it with me.." i said ... " Mahi you have to understand" .. he said .. " no i am sorry ..i can't and i never will " i said .. Mom entered the room; tears were forming in my eyes. Mom looked sad too. "But Papa, look at my age. I am just 22. How could I even think of getting married at this age.. i have so much things to do ...I have to study more...I haven't achieved my dream yet...I don't want to marry any one papa...please understand.. stop this..please don't...please," I said, crying.
"Mahiiiiiii...Stop crying," my father said firmly. "Mahi, just know that I will never want anything bad for you," he said. "But it doesn't mean you let me go for studies just because I get married?" I asked rudely.
"No, beta. I have never thought of this. But now, for me, you have to do it. Try to understand and no more discussion, this decision is final" he said.
I looked at my mom"But Mom, this is about my life," I said. She didn't say anything... i looked at her that she will support me..but she is silent... "I know you will be happy," my father said.
I was numb. I didn't know what to say. "Please, beta," my father said. "When? To whom? Why?" I asked irritated.
"Three days...and please don't ask me why, maybe there will be time when i can really tell you everything.." my father said firmly. "What? Three days? What happened?" I exclaimed. "Mahi, please calm down," my mom hugged me. I was crying uncontrollably.
"In three days? Only three days? That's why I came back? To get married? And that too, I don't know with whom?" I said angrily. I looked at my parents...how could they make such a huge decision for me... "c'mon who's he... " i said angrily "Siddharth Saxena..." my father said,my mouth dropped and i was about to fall... my mom held me up ..
"Siddharth Saxena? Sakshi Di's fiancé? My would-be jiju? The same guy whom Sakshi di loves? Are you kidding me? Are you playing a prank on me?" I asked, shocked. "Please tell me you are joking... It can't be.. i can't marry him.... " i said ...
My father was silent, and I looked at my mother, who nodded. "What on earth...I am not going to marry, and that too, my sister's fiancé...what about Sakshi di? She is not dead; she is in a coma; she is going to wake up soon...what will I say to her...that I am married to the love of your life? Leave me...have you ever asked Siddharth...? Is he ready...he loves Sakshi di," I said .. i now started to wonder what about him. Does he even know... He will not be ready at all... i know that
"He is ready," my father said, delivering another shocker. Wow, what i just heard... he is ready to marry me... me ..wow .. i still can't believe this.. "What? This is not true," I said. I know this can't be true... because my family will not do this to me...They will not fix up my marriage to anyone like this and that to with sakshi's di would be husband... "Enough ..i know this is not true.. i mean how could he possibly ready to marry me? what about his family? what about him... First i dont even know whats going on ...and trust me with all this i dont even wanna know whats going on ... but this can't be true.. until i hear this from him...
"It's true," I heard from behind, and there he was, Siddharth.
