Seher

"swayam.!!"
A gasp unintentionally left my lips as his blood splashed onto the front glass of the car..my legs felt torpid and throat parched..

What just happened?!

my heart palpitated so hastily that It reverberated inside my ears and i could heed it..I perceived swayam's brittle figure touching the road and I felt sizzling hot liquid dampening my cheeks..I touched my cheeks to find tears trickled down from my eyes,blurring my vision..it obviously made me aghasted.
Why I'm even crying.. taking account of the tortures he had conferred to me, I should be dancing in mirth by this..then why the hell I'm crying?

No..No seher.. it's just because of your compassion and humanity.. nothing else.. despite he is a ruthless man ,his body is also made up of flesh and blood..it's a human life and you are solicituded about a life ,that's it..

My inner self kept reminiscing me as if tranquilizing my agitation..I wiped the tears that blurring my vision..

"There she is.. catch her ."
Swiftly, I heard one of them roaring and my eyes widened in astound..no,I can't let them catch me..I have to do something..for a jiffy, my orbs took and momentary glance of his car's dashboard and saw swayam's Mobile connected to Bluetooth..within seconds, my hands reached to dial his uncle's number..
But just then , I perceived some goons breaking the front glass of the car , quashing it into fragments ..

" Yeah swayam..tell me.."
Out of sudden, I heard Mr Vikram Shekhawat's voice..nevertheless my voice wrestled to emerge from my throat, I spoke in a faltered voice..

" Swayam..he..he..is..shot.. please"
Before I could conclude , I perceived some men trying to grasp my hands.. I dissipated their grasp from my hand with my maximum prowess..in the spur of the moment, my car's door opened frantically.. I perceived a man standing afore me with a vicious smirk over his lips..my brows scrunched instantaneously by beholding his visage..

" Hi.. Mrs seher SWAYAM Shekhawat"
He stated, gnawing his teeth.. rage blazed Inside his orbs as he emphasized swayam's name.. Swiftly,he grappled my forearm, leaving my astounded..his lascivious gaze made extremely uncomfortable and my heart desired to scoop out his eyes..

What the hell is happening here?!!

He towed me out of the car unscrupulously and hauled me along with him..And I could certainly say that he is more ruthless than Mr monster shekhawat..I attempted my level best to liberate myself from his clutches..his bestial guffaw exasperated me..He shoved me mercilessly onto the bonnet ,conferring an incision by glass perforating inside, on my elbow.. I enclosed my eyes as a stinging anguish transversed through my body..

" Oh God..seher mehrotra..the perfect mixture of beauty and brains..the beloved of Sanjeev mehrotra.. you're freaking hot babes"
That moron spurted those filthy words from his bloody mouth and I swivelled my head in disgust..the temperature of my blood escalated by each passing second..

How dare he? he'll reach inferno today

" You bloody.."
I hoisted my hands up to give a tight slap over his filthy visage but prior to that, he caught my hands  mid way..

" Oh dear..why so hurry..this much desperate..? "
His filthy palms slithered over my forearm..my fingers balled up to form a fist and I was about to charge him, he siezed both my hands and compressed my in betwixt him and the car..

This moron.. I'll kill him..he dared to touch me ? Me? I won't leave him, I swear..

I strove to liberate myself from his filthy clutches.. I glanced at the unconscious figure of swayam..
pessimism, wrath , exasperation... everything enkindled a wildfire inside me..I roared..
" Don't you dare to touch me you ba***d.. I'll rip off your hands.."

" Oh babes.. please don't..if you rip off my hands,then how will I get the opportunity to touch your soft and delicate waist.."
He spurted his words and felt like spewing..

Disgusting..this is disgusting... I can't take it anymore..

I saw his gaze travelling downwards were my saree was misplaced, displaying a part of my waist..I inhaled in exasperation and disgust..I saw his hands sluggishly sliding down,aiming my waist..

Enclosing my eyes,With my full might and prowess, I endeavoured to shove him..but prior to it, I comprehended his grip over my forearm unbounding..I swiftly opened my eyes to behold swayam standing behind him , grasping a log inside his palms..blood trickled down from the pate of that vicious man

" Don't.. Don't ever dare to touch a woman in an uncouth manner..and about her, Don't even think in your dreams about touching her , not even her hair strand..or else I'll chop that bloody head of yours.. you get that..? she's MY WIFE you bas***d... Swayam shekhawat 's wife...."
I heard Swayam growling and I incredibly stared at him..his eyes blazed with rage and It erupted like a volcano..that vicious moron's unconscious figure touched the ground, near my feet..I stared at swayam in amazement..

Is he really that monster shekhawat? Really? Am I dreaming? I really wanted to twitch myself to check whether it's real or dream?My goodness... what's just happened? Did he copy paste any filmy dialogue or was it real, from the bottom of his heart..?

" Swayam.. watch out "
I screeched aloud , glancing at the goons standing behind Swayam, ready for an incursion..swayam's ruddy orbs contended to keep them opened..blood was undulating from his incision and his feeble legs strove to preserve the balance..

I moved forward to grasp him, but before I could do something, I behold Mr Vikram Shekhawat swooping those goons along with the help of Swayam's adherents.. without wavering, I ran towards swayam and grasped him, resulting in his head resting over my shoulder..

"Excuse me , help me to take him hospital  please.."
I implored to one of his adherents and immediately he helped me to get him inside and drove to the nearby hospital..
His unconscious figure rested on my lap..I kept summoning his name and checked his pulse..his palpitation rate is diminishing gradually..I felt heaviness inside my heart..the scarlet fluid that emanated from his body dampened my saree..

My palpitation escalated frantically by witnessing his dishevelled figure..his fingers firmly encompassed my palms as it felt arduous for him to breathe..
An ineffable feeling girded my heart..his cold fingers and drooped eyelids somehow made my head shudder in petrification..I kept summoning his name by delicately patting his cheeks to restrain him from closing his eyes and oftentimes rubbed his palms..

What if something happens to him..?
No no.!!.what are you thinking seher..you're a doctor..it's your obligation to save lives..

my inner self screamed and I felt it obvious too..as for now, he is neither a criminal nor a ruthless monster but is a patient for me..And I have to fulfill my duty assiduously..

I have to do something..

I took my saree's pallu and delicately compressed on his wound to cease bleeding..His breathe rate is diminishing gradually and condition is also deteriorating..

•||••••••••••*••••••••••||•

In a couple of minutes, we reached the hospital and swayam was hastily taken to operation theatre ..Soon his uncle also arrived..I sat on the bench infront of the operation theatre enclosing my eyes..And the only thing that appeared infront of my eyes was his visage..

He will be fine..

The word kept resonating inside me..just then , I heard someone summoning my name..I uplifted my eyelids sluggishly and saw Mr Vikram Shekhawat standing afore me with a bottle of water..

"Drink this "
He said, making me wonder struck..I incredibly glanced at him..his ruddy eyeballs permeated tears..

Is he really Swayam's uncle?

I received the bottle and drank the half of it hastily..my whole body was getting dehydrated due to thirst and anxiousness..

" Are you fine ? Did they try to harm you?"
He again interrogated and I wagged my head negatively..Fortunately, nothing happened to me as Mr monster shekhawat has saved me..

He saved me..why..?

" I'm grateful for saving our swayam.. despite he always gave you anguish you saved him today.. don't know what would have happened if you hadn't called me at the right time.. thank you bahu( daughter in law)"
His statement made me bewilder.. Really?bahu ?( daughter in law)
Mr Vikram Shekhawat, the same man who has showered  heaps of cursing over me till yesterday is addressing me as his daughter in law today..

How strange!!

Half of an hour passed..I glanced at my soggy saree and exhaled..the hot scarlet fluid that emanated from his body is stayed raw..
Just then,I heard the door creaking and my glance fastened over it..As soon as the doctor appeared out of the operation theatre ,my legs ineluctably moved towards her, followed by Swayam's uncle..

" Is my nephew fine doctor..tell something.. how's he? Can I meet him?"
As the doctor reached near us , Mr Vikram Shekhawat darted his questions upon the former..

To reply, doctor unfastened her mask and I got astonished..
Pallavi ma'am!!

" Pallavi ma'am?"
I summoned her and she smiled a bit beholding me ,as if she recognised me..Dr pallavi sachdeva is the best surgeon in the town and I was fortunate enough to get her as my preceptor..She was my professor while pursuing MBBS..

" Miss Seher Mehrotra..am I right?"
She interrogated and I nodded positively..

" I'm glad to meet you after years dear..but I didn't expect a meeting like this..umm..do you know the patient?"
She interrogated and I wavered to answer her query..

What should I answer? what should I say?

" He's my .. husband.."
Finally I divulged, after arguing with my inner self..my brain never wished to divulge that fact but my conscience succumbed my thoughts..

" Oh I'm sorry seher.."
Despite her sympathetic words failed to create any affect on me, I murmured that it's ok..

" By god's grace..he is out of danger now..the bullet perforated his right collarbone resulting in losing a lot of blood and also his right hand is fractured..since it's on collarbone , there is hardly any internal injury or internal bleeding ..we have successfully operated the Bullets out but he needs to take rest for the next four months.."
As soon as she said those words ,  surge of solace hit my heart..I inhaled a sharp breathe and smiled at her..

" Thank you so much doctor..can we meet him? "
As she concluded, Mr Vikram Shekhawat asked her but she nodded negatively..

" I'm sorry sir..but we can't permit you inside now..he will get shifted to ICU after some hours..then you can meet him.."
Dr pallavi divulged and we nodded..she placed her hands above my shoulders, conferring a soft smile and said

"The case would have been critical if you have failed to bring him on time..but you succeeded in bringing him hospital at the right time.. you've won as a doctor, moreover as a wife "
And I felt astonished heeding to her words.. really? Wife?
I loathe that person from the bottom of my heart and here she's saying that I won..I saw Mr Vikram Shekhawat glancing at me gratefully..I strove to smile but it never appeared on my lips..

"I'm glad that I saw my former student..but unfortunately I'm feeling disappointed.. thinking about the circumstances in which we met..but it's ok don't worry.. I'll come tomorrow to check him up..stay strong..and I've to inform police , since this is an attempt to murder.. it's my duty"
Pallavi ma'am statement hauled me back into reality..yes ! Oh God ! How can I forget that..it's essential to register the complaint..I won't let that morons live tranquilly..

" Police?"
Instantaneously Mr Vikram Shekhawat asked and this time I replied

" Yes..we have to inform the police I'm the prime eye witness.. they've also misbehaved with me and since it's an attempt to murder case.. I'll give the testimony...I know the culprit.."
I resolved..I'll send those morons behind the bars.. I paced forward, aiming the doorstep of operation theatre..

Nevertheless he gave me only anguish,he is the one who had saved me.. I owe him..i have to do this...
