#### PAST  from the day of Karthik birthday to before the incident happened which sent her into coma####

*Satvi Pov*

How can you fail to bring the gift you bought last month for him to his birthday party? I scolded myself by hitting the steering wheel.

Now I must be pretty late, and everyone must have reached there. I should have been there and invite them inside and look after everything.

Nevertheless, I am stuck here in this stupid traffic. I glanced at my phone and immediately called Leela hoping that she will stop him from cutting the cake. Otherwise, my proposal will be played without my presence, and I am sure that will be the worst scenario.

"Hello?" I said when she lifted my call, but I can hear a few laughs in the background.

We only invited his family members, and our mutual friends right then why is there that much disturbance. I just hope all the arrangements are sufficient no matter how many people attend it.

That Karthik will not help me with this if there is any problem as he dislikes these parties and this being his birthday party is not going to solve anything.

"Satvi! I can't hear your voice." I got her disturbed tone, and then she just cut off the call.

I groaned and prayed some miracle to happen so that I can reach there soon. I guess God heard me because within seconds, the traffic moved, and I finally reached the lane where the hotel is present.

I glanced at the seat beside me and saw that my phone is ringing. Had he already cut the cake, and my video got played? I thought getting my nerve's hyper.

I picked it up and saw that Leela is calling me. I gulped and was prepared to lift the call after checking whether there is any space where I can park.

Suddenly, a black car came into my sight, and before I can press the break, my car hit it with force, and I immediately moved the car away to the left side making it hit a tree on the side lightly.

Before I can cover my face, my head fell on the steering wheel with huge force, and I felt a drowsy feeling inside my head along with the feeling of some bullet just got itself inside my head.

For some time, I didn't hear anything and everything has been just silent, but I immediately sat up hearing my phone ringing. I slowly lifted my head and from the corner of my eye, I saw that Leela is calling me.

She must be wondering where am I! I thought closing my eyes again, but immediately opened them remembering the birthday party and the proposal. I have to be there immediately.

I slowly opened the door, holding my head and got outside removing the keys from the car. I just took a step and felt my legs, losing their balance, making me lean on the door a little.

You can do it, Satvi! I thought taking a deep breath and took a few steps only to get stopped hearing a shout from behind me.

"How can you do the accident and just walk away?" I heard a harsh voice making me gulp in fear.

"What is your name? Where is your license?" he asked and I groaned again, but stopped feeling the pain in my head.

I hope no one got injured! I thought praying to all the gods. And started taking deep breaths to turn around and ask for forgiveness or some punishment, but also before that I will ask for some time break to reach the hotel which is just ten steps away.

"My car just got a huge dent." he again screamed, and I can feel that he is near me making me sigh in relief.

Nevertheless, what if he files a police case, and I will not even get a job if I have a police record. I just got graduated, and I can't put my career in a drainage.

"What is your name, Madam?" he asked and I took a gulp mumbled "Sss..."

"What is Sss...? Just tell me your name, and you can come to the police station." he said threateningly.

See? This is exactly what i am talking about. Think Satvi! Think something, Dammit! I scolded myself and looked around and finally a name caught my sight, which is on the back side of a bike.

Swetha! It must be the name of that guy's mother or girlfriend. Thank you, sir! I expressed my thanks in my head and turned around to meet the person who can actually get me in trouble.

"Swetha!" I said while turning itself and stopped looking at the person in front of me.

He too just stared at me for a few seconds, and a horn beside us brought us out from the silence. I cleared my throat and put the keys forward towards him.

"I am really sorry, sir! I know it is all my mistake, and I am not saying that it is not. But I really have an important work right now, and I need to be there. I am giving you my car keys so that I can assure you, I will not run away and will meet you in ten minutes right here and pay any amount you ask." I said in one breath and all he did was blinking his eyes.

"Thank you so much for understanding, Sir!" I said, pushing the keys into his hands and turned around before rushing towards the hotel.

I ignored all the weird looks I am getting from the hotel staff and reached, the function hall after giving a nod to the manager with whom I prepared everything.

When I opened the door, I saw that everyone is near the cake, and Karthik is feeding the cake piece to Leela. I smiled clapping and before I can take a step, I stopped in my tracks when he suddenly kneeled in front of her.

"Leela! I love you very much. Will you marry me?" he asked and I glanced at her face to see that she is smiling and said 'yes' nodding with tears in her eyes. And Dad is standing beside her smiling too.

I stumbled back a little and looked up hearing a voice which not so surprisingly belongs to me. Stop it! I want to shout at someone hoping that the video gets stopped.

'Hey Karthik! Happy birthday, best friend. I want to give you a gift. Actually, I wish to ask a gift from you. I really like you, Karthik. Will you be my boyfriend? I know this is shocking and all, but I felt that you too like me all this time, but it got stronger when yesterday you said I am the most important person in your life. We are very compatible, and I am sure we will rock together and who knows, maybe even get married like you used to tell me all these years whenever a topic regarding marriage come out even though teasingly. Marriage is a long matter, but dating is not that long. So will you?'

The video completed, but I continued to stare at the screen, I made a helper put on the ceiling. I slowly looked down to see everyone looking at me in complete shock, and I felt like they are throwing some pity looks and some sad looks and many more towards me and then there is one guilty look along with another one shock look becoming guilty.

I felt my breath quicken and before anyone can reach me, I turned around and rushed outside the hotel with more speed than with which I came.

Leela and Karthik? How did I not know anything about that at all? I must be blind, deaf and dumb! This is the only reason because of which all this happened.

Before I know where was I going, I fell crashing on to something, and before I can fall back, I felt arms around me saving me from the fall.

I opened my eyes to see that blinking guy and feeling his semi hug. I broke down in his arms, remembering everything that happened inside that room.

"What happened?" he asked worriedly.

Hearing his worry, I cried more, and before I can say anything, I felt the drowsiness which was with me all this time consuming me completely and I fell into a deep hole.

*Rohan Pov*

Suddenly the girl who is crying in my arms with everyone giving us weird looks, went limp making me panic.

I slowly moved her to see her face and saw that she has lost her conscience. I brushed her hair away and saw a massive wound with the blood still flowing.

How did I not notice this before? I thought and then realized that her hair covered her wound. I lifted her in my arms and walked towards my car.

My driver immediately opened the door before I could say anything, and he started driving us towards the near hospital.

"Excuse me?" I asked walking inside the hospital calling for some doctor.

"Is it an accident case? Are you a relative of her's? If not, then first file a complaint in the police station and we will treat her." One doctor said working on some file walking near me.

"She is my wife!" I replied before I can stop myself.

"Oh! Fill the form and we will start the treatment." He said calling for some stretcher.

If she was not in my arms, then I would have killed him right now. After placing her on the stretcher, I asked them to start treating her.

"What is her name, Sir?" The receptionist asked.

"Swetha! Swetha Choksi." I replied, and she nodded before giving me the form.

After filling it, I walked outside and gave the car keys to the driver asking him to take her car to some repairing garage as there are so many dents, and it is in worse condition due to the impact of the hit to the tree.

"How is she, doctor?" I asked him when he came outside her room, by the time I reached there.

"We dressed the wound and looks like it is simple wound, but will need some tests to be taken before saying anything. It will be better to put her twenty-four hours watch before taking the tests." He replied before walking away.

I walked inside to see her sleeping peacefully on the bed. I sat beside her on the stool and brushed her hair away to see her face again.

When she turned around on the road, I felt like I forgot how to breath. But I never thought I would have to take her to the hospital on the same day when I met her.

She was crying so much when I caught her. What happened to her? And who hurt her like that? I will not leave them alone.

What? What are you saying, Rohan? I thought hitting my head and slowly held her palm. I smiled a little and started taking a few important calls without removing my hold on her hand.

When it was almost night, I felt her hand moving, and I immediately cut the call before glancing at her face to see her eyes shifting and she slowly opened them.

"How are you?" I asked her calmly.

"Wa...ter!" she replied and I immediately sat up giving her the glass carefully before calling the doctor.

He entered the room and said, "Hello, Mrs.Choksi! How are you feeling?"

I closed my eyes, hearing his question while Swetha choked on the water she is drinking. I immediately patted her back, and she slowly regained before mumbling "Mrs.Choksi!"

"Shh... don't talk about it." I mumbled back and turned towards the doctor saying, "She prefers just her name most of the time."

"Ok! How are you feeling, Ms.Swetha?" he asked and again she choked on the water, she started drinking again.

"Swetha?" she mumbled and I glanced at her thinking, she must be shaken up by the accident and even forgot her name.

"I am fine!" she mumbled seeing my expression of confusion.

"Ok! You have to stay here for one whole day, and then we will have to do some tests. After that if everything is ok, then we will discharge you." he said, and her eyes widened.

She was about to say something, but couldn't when some nurse entered the room calling the doctor for some other patient, and he left abruptly.

"So, what happened, Swetha?" I asked her calmly to which she again looked confused.

"Did you forget your name?" I asked her again.

"How do you know that it is my name?" she asked me back.

"You told me on the road where your car hit me. Do you remember me?" I asked her hoping she did because I will not forget her even after one month.

"Yeah! I remember you." she replied, and I felt like I got a business deal.

"So, what happened? Why did you cry?" I asked her directly, which is always a problem with me, and at present it proved to be again.

I can see the tears forming in her eyes again, but she took a deep breath stopping them and calmly said, "I want to go right away from here."

"But you need to stay here to see whether there are not many problems." I said but she just shook her head.

"No! Please, I really want to go away from here." she pleaded looking directly into my eyes, and before I could stop myself, I nodded to which she gave me a smile.

Is it this easy to make her smile? I asked myself before calling the doctor and pressured him for her discharge, but in the end, he accepted giving her some medicines and asked her to come to the hospital if she gets a severe headache which she can't bear.

"So, shall I drop you at home?" I asked her walking towards my car at the entrance which is already waiting.

"Home?" she mumbled to herself and calmly said, "Can you drop me at some hotel?"

Then she searched her hands and then in front of her with panic in her eyes. She turned towards me asking, "Where is my purse?"

Before I could say anything, she answered herself mumbling "I must have left it in the car."

"Your car is in a garage for repairing." I said before she could ask me where is her car.

"Oh no! Now where will I go?" she said, holding her head.

"You can come to my house. It is night time and is not safe for you even in a hotel. And you need some perfect rest too." I offered after few minutes not wanting to cut the presence of her with me.

Nonetheless, I guess I was again forward because she gave me a suspicious look, but eventually nodded mumbling "If you wanted to do something bad, then you must have already done that, when you had a chance."

"You are too naïve, Swetha." I said, shaking my head and we both got in the car.

"I guess I am." She mumbled in pain tone looking outside the window.

"Are you married?" I suddenly asked, hoping that she is not because it would be bad to like someone who is married or committed.

"Single!" she replied and sighed in relief without her seeing it.

"By the way, why did the doctor call me with Mrs.Choksi name?" she suddenly asked and she must have remembered it when I asked about the marriage.

"Er... You were losing blood, and they wanted me to file a police complaint to get you checked-up. So I lied them that you are my wife." I replied and she calmly nodded.

"Mr.Choksi, you actually made me choke on the water. Wow! It rhymes." She said smiling, and I smiled back at her.

"By the way, what is your name?" she asked glancing at me.

"Roh..." I got cut off when the car suddenly stopped, and I looked outside to see that we reached my home.

We both got outside, and I unlocked the door before welcoming her inside to which she smiled. She looked around which is filled with silence.

"So, where is everyone?" she asked, still looking around.

"I live here alone." I replied, and she nodded slowly.

"So, what is your name? Is it Roha or Rohi, or Rohu?" she asked making me chuckle at her.

"It's Rohan!" I replied still smiling at her.

"But I liked the Rohu more." she said when I walked inside the kitchen to see the food which is already prepared by my chef.

"Don't you dare!" I mockingly threatened her and I really didn't like it.

We both had food in silence, and I showed her the guest bedroom beside mine and before walking inside the room, she mumbled "Good night, Rohu."

Before I could say anything, she locked the door, and I shook my head entering my room. I got freshened up and lay on the bed thinking about the turn of events while I had to actually reach an important meeting.

Did all these events happen today? Or is it just a dream of mine? Or it must be some miracle.

My vote would be in the miracle! I thought closing my eyes, mumbling "Good night, Swetha."
