Part-3

The strong smell of antiseptic pull me out of my oblivion. the smell reminded me of the hospital..
Exactly! I am in a hospital and I thought why I am here .then all the memories crashed into me like a gigantic wave knocking me out of my breath.
My aunt..her cruel words..
I heard my mom’s voice muffled it was like I am hearing  the voice under the water and then it got more clear.
“Archu…please respond “ I heard her plea
“M…mom”I called her and opened my eyes
“Archu…oh dear…I was scared that you will go back to coma again” she said “doctor saidp that its possible for you to go back to that state”she said
I looked around to see four set of  eyes eagerly watching me
My papa moved towards me and held my hand”archu…how are you feeling now.” I felt his love and his inner turmoil in his words
“I am okay papa..a little tired I guess”I said
Then Raj moved towards me and smiled at me.
“I was scared that we gonna loss you again “he said
I felt sorry for him as I cannot reciprocate his feelings ..i felt like I wasn at fault and a guilty feeling arised in my mind. But I didn’t  want to nourish it as it might turn into something which my heart dosent allow.my heart might be belonged to that”S” ,whoever he is
Then I saw my aunt who was staring at my and her eyes were a little wet.she saw me looking at her and she came near my bed
“I am sorry archu..i shouldn’t have told those things to you..it was out of frustration..we loved you so much and we wanted to get you married with Raj..but you…”my aunt’s words were cut by my father
“stop it…Deepa”my father said
I wanted her to continue and I decided to ask about this and get gdealed with the secrets
“papa…what is she saying?”I asked
“itd..it’s .. nothing”my father stuttered
“pleasd…uncle,she deserves to know”raj interrupted him
My father sighed and nodded.sje gestured others to leave the room leaving Raj with me to open the can of worms
“raj..??”I called him after few minutes of silence.he was deep in thoughts
“archu…. Everyone  wanted us to get married,you knew that,right?”he asked
I nodded
“but unfortunately you didn’t share the same feelings I harbour for you..you …you married someone else”he said
“okay…and?”I asked
“you knew?”he askede curiously
I td him how I got to know the truth.
“then…do u recall anything?”he asked me hurriedly
“No”I said and I felt he sighed in relief
“Where is he??what happened with him??why he is not here with me?”I asked
“We don’t know archu….that guy was from another religion and your family didn’t want you marry him..but you were not ready to lose him..i think you had a court marriage and you cut every connection with your family..you came back here after  2 years for your brother’s  marriage and then this accident happened '”he said
“i…I was alone ..when I came back?”I asked..i prayed in mind that the answer would be a yes
“yes…I think so..you went to house alone..but your father don’t want you to spoil the occasion  and he…he told you that he disowned you.”he said.with pity in his eyes
“and then??”I asked
“you went out of the house crying and I tried to console you..but you were not in a mood to talk..the last think I saw you driving to the place you were staying “he said
“and..??”I wanted to know everything and I was eager to know about him
“at the midnight we got a call from Uday uncle ,he said that some people  sawthe car flipping of the bridge and his police found you from the river “he stopped and looked at me
“was I alone on that car??”I asked
“yes..i think so..police didn’t find anyone else in the accident site or inside the car”he said
I tried to remember something or anything from the description but my mind went blank
“Archu…”he sat down on the bed beside me”look..leave it…leave the past ..you don’t  remember anything about him or the life with him…everyone.doesnt get a second chance in life…you have it and now grab the one chance god had given you…” he said cupping my face. I unconsciously pulled his hands fromu face.
He sighed and stood up “archu…think about it…I will be here for you always “ he left the room making a sad face. I felt cruel for hurting him ….i could have given him a chance but something is always pulling me back..
Did I love my so called husband that much or is it my childhood repulsion for Raj is kicking in…I was not sure.i closed my eyes to get some sleep I felt so tired
after my hospitalisation,mom was beside me  like 24 hours and I was feeling irritated about this..but I know that’s her motherly love and she is worried about me
And on the third day my friend Maya visited me. We were left alone by my mother and I was very happy with this ..
I explained everything to Maya and she asked me whether my family have any information about this guy..i replied that they dosent know his whereabouts,his job or anything except his name “salman”
“Oh…so that with the letter”S”She said
I nodded
“any second name?”she asked
“no”I said in desperation
“Let’s do one thing ..we can check your friends list in fb and what if he was your fb friend”sje said
“Yeah..that’s a good idea”I opened my laptop and went through my friends list
There were 5 friends named Salman..three were from my school and we discarded them from our list. The other twp persons dosent looked familiar to me.
“salman Rashid..let’s look at his profile “maya said and opened his profile.
I didn’t  felt that person familiar
“Nah..he won’t be your Salman”maya said
“y Maya..i asked her?”
“yoy won’t go for a man who is not good looking ..i know your choices”she said
May be she is true..i never felt any attraction to common men   in my teen ages i always looked at good looking film stars and all.
“Next” I said
“Salman sajid…let’s check” she said and opened the profile…”no photo…nothing…it’s just a profile ..no information about him except for lives in banglore and not working.” She said
“hemight be my Salman??”I asked
“Not sure…you couldn’t  be fell in love with  a shadow”she said
“what will we do now”I said in frustration.
“Don’t worry archu….we will do something..”maya said
I nodded..i felt tears are pricking my eyes .i wanted to convince myself that the man whom I loved so much to leave my family left me without any trace and I needed to move on ..but something on my heart believed in his love for me…I was not sure that it was my illusion or it was the truth
Yet I need to find out the truth even if it is bitter
