chapter 16

Harika visited the nearby garden since it was a weekend. Harish had some important meetings, so she didn't thought to disturb him. When she was happy listening to her favourite song. She felt someone's presence near her. She raised her face and it frowned seeing him there.She stood up and tried to move from that place but he held her arm. She started him like she is going to burn his alive."Sorry Harika! I shouldn't have talked like that! Please forgive me" he apologized looking at her face."Just get out from this place Adhi. I don't want to see your face" she blurted. "Sorry Harika! I truly never meant those words. Please understand. I shouted in frustration" he explained but that increased her anger."Look Adhi! You don't need to apologise because you're no one for me. Please don't come infront of me again" she said with irritation."Harika please understand. I'm deeply and madly in love with you. I started loving you from the moment I saw you. Couldn't you see my true love. Please Harika! Don't leave and I need you till my last breath" he said with tears."Are you gone mad? How many times to say you? I never had any feelings for you. So please don't come infront of me taking this topic again and don't create a scene in public" she muttered with a disgusting expression."How many times to say you! Don't you understand? I love you. You're mine! Never forget this in your life" he said holding her hand with a strong grip making her wince in pain.At the next moment, he felt a strong punch on his face which made him fall on the floor. Harish stood with burning eyes. "Keep this in your mind Adhi! She is mine! Only mine! Mine forever! So don't try to touch her. This is the last time I'm apologizing you for what you did. If this happens again, then you will not be alive anymore" he said with his eyes full of rage."Harish! Come let's go from this place" Harika held his arm and took him away."Is it hurting?" He asked checking her wrist with care. She smiled looking at his actions, but her smile faded remembering something."Harish! Why did you uttered those words?" She asked worriedly. "What?" He was confused."You said you will kill him right?" She asked. "Yeah! Then should I be numb seeing his stupid actions?" He asked running his fingers through his hair."No Harish! It's a sin. We humans don't have any rights to take the life of another human. Don't ever say like that. I didn't ask you to keep numb but killing someone will not solve any problem. Never forget this" she said holding his arm, he nodded as a response."Harika! I wanna ask you something!" He started with hesitation. "What?" She asked."Harika! Will you stay with me forever?" He asked looking at her eyes. "Do you doubt that?" She annoyed."Shall we stay in my house together?" He asked making her eyes widen. "Harika! I don't want to live without you even for a minute. Nowadays, you're the only thought running throughout my mind.I want you near me everytime. I'll never disturb your studies. But if we stay in the same home, I'll feel better ever" he said what is there in his mind.Harika couldn't come for a decision on that because she thought to be independent until she complete her studies. That was the reason, she a avoided to stay in Ruby's home.Now she was in a uncertainty. She couldn't deny his request since she don't have any intention to hurt his feelings.He examined her face and understood her state. "Don't stress yourself Harika! Take your time" he said with a smile."Everything is ok Harish! Just tell me one thing. If we started to live together, then how will you take care of your mother? Don't you want to see her?" She asked with concern."Not like that Harika! Nowadays mom is safe and I'm taking care of her whenever I meet her. Daily I'll visit my home but I couldn't stay there because of my business.She too don't want me to stay in home because it will make me miss my concentration in business. I just want her happiness! You know well that I love my mom to the core and will do anything to make her happy.She asked me stay alone near my office and I gladly accepted that for her happiness. Everything around me is very artificial Harika, I want something which make me feel alive. I want someone in my side to cheer me up everytime, someone who care me.Sadly, God took every happiness from my life. Now I feel like he gave those happiness in the form of you! You're my happiness and your love is my strength. That's the reason I thought to have you near me everytime" he said with tears melting her heart.She held his face with her palm. "Harish! I'll be there for you! I'll never give up on you! You're the one and only love of my life! I'll never leave you alone at any cause. I decided to stay with you in your home! I'm really happy to be with someone who consider me more than anything else" she said with a smile resting her head on his shoulder.Harish was on cloud nine hearing her reply. He kissed her forehead making her smile more..."Doctor! What happened to that patient Karthik? What's his condition right now" Harika asked. "His condition is getting critical everyday Harika. He stayed calm for few days but once after knowing that his lover won't come back, his condition turned more vigorous. We couldn't control him with those normal pills. Nowadays it's very tough for us to handle him" he said making her worried."Doctor! What will be cause, if this state continues?" She asked. "It may lead to his death Harika. I'm trying my best but his family doesn't care about his health. They are okay with his death but not ready to bring his lover back! I don't know what kind of human they are?" He uttered sadly."Ok Harika! I have to check some other patients. Let me meet you later. And don't ever try to enter into his room. This time we couldn't save you if something happens" he warned before he left that place. Harika looked worried."Hey Harika! What happened to you?" Varsha asked with concern looking at her sad face."Nothing Varsha! Just now I talked with the doctor. He said Karthik's state is getting very critical" Harika replied sadly."Harika! Why are you taking this very serious? It's common! Every hospital has some critical cases like this! We couldn't save everyone right? There are many people who are struggling to live! We can help them to recover but we can't help these people who doesn't want to live!" Varsha tried to console her but that made her more anxious."How could you say like that Varsha? Everyone are humans and he is child by his mindset. We couldn't just leave him to die. As a doctor, it's our responsibility to save his life. I just can't see someone dying infront of my eyes Varsha. I'll try my best to safeguard him" she said with determination."Ok Harika! Chill!" She said and talked about few random stuffs making her normal again."May we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge today, but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion. We are to love our enemies that they might be returned to their right minds."- Marianne WilliamsonHi dear friends,Fifteenth chapter of "Miracle of my life" is updated.
