Mili's pov

"Mili..."

" Mili... .... Mili...." I was coming back to my sense slowly when I heard my name was calling by someone continuously. I partially opened my eyes with much difficulty but nothing wasn't clear. I felt smoky everywhere.

Did I reach heaven this much faster? I ran my eyes around and saw some girls in white dress were staring at me. I think they angels like my grandma told me when I was kid. When you reach heaven angels will accompany me to god.

"Angels why you are not taking me to god? I want to ask him something important" I asked to angles in my weak sound.

"Mili ...." I heard my name was called by some familiar voice again and I turned my face to look at that sound source. It was Viraj he came here before me ? of course he would after all he is the one who met with accident first.

"Viraj..... I told you I will definitely keep my word as your wife. See I followed you till heaven. But I didn't expect you will get permission to enter into heaven. I was going to ask to god whether you are taken to hell ? But thank God he let you in " I mumbled and closed my eyes.

"Mili.... Are you okay?" even at heaven he won't stop yelling at me.
I suddenly felt something cold rubbing on my eyes and I knitted my eyebrows. For some time I didn't feel anything. It was dark but I heard sound

"is she alright? Why she was saying such nonsense?" this time reality hit on my head and I suddenly opened my eyes and first face came in front of me was Viraj's. I quickly wake up from where I was lying and began to stare at him.

"slowly..... ...."  Viraj quickly sat beside me

"Mili are you alright?" He was panicked and in that trembling voice he asked am I alright ?  But why ?. I looked around and I was on hospital bed.

"Viraj..." I suddenly hugged him and began to cry like there is no tomorrow for me

"you scared me to death ... do you know how much I was scared when I saw the news on TV. Do you know how I made till this hospital?  I thought you were dead" I yelled at him in between my miserable weeping.

"let me see you are fine right?" I cupped his face and take a clear look at him. There was a bandage on his right forehead other than that some scratchs on hands but nothing serious.

"what happened in actual? You are fit and fine then what was that shown in news channel? " I asked worriedly. Meanwhile his friends also came there.

" Mili are you okay ? " Jiyah enquired and looked at the duty nurses who stood there

" Nothing to worry. Her blood pressure level dropped so low. " One replied.

"what's going there?" Viraj turned to them and asked and I sat there all confused.

"surgery is still going. Nothing can be say now. " Jiyah said to Viraj.

"What about them?" he asked. Situation was serious I can sense  from everyone's face but I don't know what is going on.

"everyone is sad you can expect how it will be " Arjun replied for that.

"what happened actually? If you are fine then who is getting surgery now?" I asked all confused

"Pratik... "

"what? Wh.... Why Pratik?" I was really shocked to hear that.

"why him? I think he is paying back for all sins what his mother and uncle did to me. Our relationship wasn't anything good. It was always filled with bitterness and bickerings but his current condition is making me uncomfortable and sad. I never expected Pratik will do something like this for me" Viraj begin to explain what happened .

"from what his mother confessed master brain behind this accident was his uncle and that women's brother. He planned to finish me forever through a miserable accident"

"oh my god..." I put my hands on mouth in a shock.

"while I was going to visit a client I heard someone  honking behind my car continuously. I thought he was asking for  side or something so I slowed down a bit but suddenly I saw a huge container lorry coming from opposite line breaking the red signal. I couldn't pull break or think about anything. Suddenly that car from behind overtakes me and drive straight towards that lorry. I quickly turned my steering wheel in a shock and my car skid straight towards a median and got struck there. These small wounds are caused because of broken glass pieces of windshield. Getting hold on myself  from that shocking moment I went to check on the car driver and to my shock it was Pratik. I couldn't understand him at first because his face was covered with blood and that lorry driver died at that instant itself. Container loose it's balance and flipped upside down. After contacting emergency ambulance they took Pratik here as soon as possible. He got a head injury and one hand broke. Still it wasn't that bad as I feared.  After seeing his car's condition I thought he wouldn't make it till hospital" he was sad as well as tensed because if something happened to Pratik then guilt will eat him for his whole life thinking that it happened because of him.

"don't worry he will be fine. After all he did it to save some other life. God won't call him that much easily who saved another life" I tried to make him calm.

"I wish he will come out fine so that we can continue our fight. Without him it is really boring" He said with a sad smile. somewhere inside his mind he was feeling bad for Pratik. Whatever it is Pratik was the one who saved Viraj from a huge accident giving up his own life.

"Mili since you feel better we are leaving for now. Viraj  Arjun will stay back" Jiyah said and then looked at Viraj

"Arjun you should also leave I am already here with them. If there is any emergency then I will contact you" Viraj let them go.

Now the ward was filled with silence and we sat there looking at each other but suddenly I felt some kind of shyness when our eyes met.  My heart began to beat like it is running a marathon. He was so close to me and was stroking on me hands. I diverted my gaze from him and looked here and there to hide my crimson red cheeks.

"mam we need to dress your wound please put your leg on this pillow" two nurses came there and told me.

"no its okay I am fine. It's just a small wound" instead of forwarding my legs I keep it close to me so that they won't touch my leg.

"no mam actually there is something pierced into your  foot. Before it become septic we need to dress it after taking that" nurse replied much politely.

"that's what I wanted to know where is Sandals? Why you are barefooted and why you are wearing a saree at this cold night? Mili you are totally confusing me" I bit my lower lips not to utter anything but as a typical Viraj he won't leave me unless I spill everything out.

"when I heard your accident news I was really tensed so without even thinking I ran from our house like the way I was. Forgot to wear sandals, forgot to take phone and my purse. While fetching a taxi I stepped on something and that's how this happened" I eye signed to legs and said with a apologetic face.

"then how you paid for taxi?" he asked

"I gave him one my gold bangle since I don't have any money with me" I replied putting my head down.

"Mili......... " 

"what should I do with you girl?" he kept his hand on his forehead and yelled at me not in a rude way but in a funny way. The nurses who were beside us were laughing at us.

"Anyways leave it since its over we can't do anything about that. Please dress her wound very well. What to do my wife is little clumsy sometimes behave like a small kid. " he stood from the bed and allowed them to dress my wound.

"no no no no I told you I am fine actually ......." No one was on my side. No one listened to my screaming . Viraj my hypocrite husband he sided with those nurses and forcefully forwards my legs for them to dress.

" its stinking Viraj..." I wriggled but his grip on me was so tight so there wasn't any effect on my wriggling.

"relax it will end soon don't be a cry baby" he stroked on both of my forearms to make me at ease.

"see it was a nail. " one nurse showed what she picked from my wound with a forceps. Viraj gave me a look which clearly said that "look now what happened?"

"I was the one who met with a major accident and you are getting treatment Mili" He said like teasing me.

"I can't handle such hard situations and you won't understand my feelings.  Let me ask you this , Do you feel relaxed and happy when you hear  I met with an accident and dying some.... " before I could complete he put his finger on my lips  stopping me from saying anything further.

"even if it is for fun don't say anything like that. "

" You at least made till hospital if it was me then I would have ended myself at that moment itself" Viraj said looking at my eyes. Oh my god those killer looks I felt already weak and all my hormones where rushing from everywhere.

" sir help your wife to lower her blouse  from left shoulder" nurse instructed while taking something.

"for what?" I asked in a surprising tone.

"for tetanus shot" nurse replied while showing an ampule bottle at me. I looked at Viraj and shook my head as no. He  narrowed his eyes and forced me to take the shots.

I crossed my hands across my both shoulders and protested for not taking tetanus shot. Viraj sighed and put a smile on his face and then looked at me. I know that look I sensed a danger in that smile. He came close to me and stood behind my back within a nick of time he pulled down my blouse from right shoulders. He clutched me in his hands tightly so that I won't move an inch.

"I am not going to talk to you after this." I said looking at Viraj with my pouted lips. He just patted on my cheeks gently and stood there with that same smile. Nurse took tetanus shot and I am telling you  it really hurts like hell. I mean who said that it won't pain. A long sharp metal piece is piercing into your skin and saying that it won't pain. Then what I am feeling now will be ticklish sensation right?

"it's over now you can open your eyes" I heard that nurse telling me to open my eyes.

"rub there firmly for few minutes after that you can take her back" nurse said and she went out. Viraj was rubbing by forearm with a small cotton ball.

"it's good you wear a saree today" he whispered on my ears and I looked at him with my knitted eyebrows

"why?" I asked

"if it was anything like you usually wear then I had to undress you instead to partially pulling a blouse like this. I don't know whether to consider myself an  unlucky husband or you as a lucky wife" it took a couple of minutes to understand what he means by that.

"Viraj you pervert ..." I raised my hand to beat him but quickly put down due to pain.

"sorry sorry I was just joking" he said  laughing at me.

Viraj's dad Mr Varma had told us to go back since there isn't much we can do there. Doctors had put Pratik under 48 hours observation so there is no need for anything. Viraj and I went back to his apartment and time was around one at night. Since I couldn't walk properly he was supporting me till our house.

As we both entered into house reality hit me. Actually whatever I prepared yesterday to propose him was still there in a bad way. partially withered roses, melted candles and that love you cake oh my god how I am going to explain him now? Viraj stood at the middle of living room and looked around with his wide opened mouth and eyes. He turned towards me and looked at me for an explanation to all those mess. I stood in front of him with an idiotic smile.

"Mili what the hell you were doing here? Look at these burned  out candles and all.  Mili you were practicing black magic inside my house?" he shouted at me and looked at me in disbelief.
