Chapter 35: Chapter 35
"Will you please shut up this nonsense?" Akshadh said and pushed the glass cups down. The glass cups fell broken in the floor making huge noise. Dhiya stood shockingly looking at Akshadh....
Akshadh was fuming with anger. He stabbed his hand in the desk uncontrollably.
"Akshadh, please...........Please .....stoppppp it," Dhiya came close to him and held his hand to stop.
He didn't react to her.
Madhan took long steps to reach them. He could guess the situation by observing the broken glass and holding hands. Dhiya gulped seeing Madhan and the horrible situation. Madhan gestured Dhiya to stay cool. Madhan pulled the chair and occupied it.
Dhiya left Akshadh's hand slowly and sat besides Akshadh.
Silence occupied them until the maid cleaned the place and took the broken pieces.
Akshadh came back to normal. He exhaled a deep breath. He didn't uplift his head yet. Dhiya and Madhan had a glance often.
Dhiya cleared her cracked throat to gain Akshadh's attention to break the silence. Akshadh looked at Dhiya intently and their eyes met within a fraction of seconds. Both of their black balls in the eye get struck and they shared their love and care. Dhiya couldn't blink her eyelids though random thoughts ruining in her to avert her gaze. She knew looking at his eyes put her to the danger zone still she can't and both shared their hidden love through their eyes. Akshadh curved his beautiful signature smile. Unknowingly, Dhiya responded to his smile. Both the hearts longed to be one and only.
Dhiya felt a kind of awkwardness thinking the reality and she averted her gaze and bend down. She observed blood oozing from Akshadh's hand. Akshadh slowly hide his hand as he don't want Dhiya to see it. A small piece of broken glass cracked his hand when he stabbed the table.
"Bloodd....Show me Akshadh....."
"Nope! Nothing Dhiya"
"Akshadh please, don't play. Show me,"
"Nothing Dhiya," he said hiding his palm.
Akshadh chuckled seeing her gentle care. If you care for me this much then I am ready to get hurt daily Dhiya.
"Akshadh, the broken glass pieces has cracked your palm so let you have an antibiotic," said Madhan and got up from the chair.
"No problem Madhan, it is a small crack it didn't even pain much but more than that I have big crack in my heart and is paining deeply and killing me as slow poison. Do you have medicine for me, Dhiya?" said him painfully looking at Dhiya finally.
Dhiya bend his head down hearing his unexpected painful words from his heart. Without thinking for a second, Dhiya tore her salwar dupatta and took Akshadh's palm in her. She washed his palm with the water found nearby bottle. Then, she tied his palm with the cloth to stop the blood flow.
Akshadh looked at her. How could he miss this beautiful moment? He was looking intently at all her actions. A small smile occupied his lips. She rubbed his palm with water that pierced the flesh but it doesn't disturb Akshadh's fallen glance at her. Her touch soothened his heart. Dhiya, why did you tear your shawl? Am I that much important to you? Then, why are you hiding your feelings Dhiya?
Madhan and Dhiya compelled Akshadh and took him to take an injection. Within ten minutes, he was served with injection and an antibiotic tablet.
Then, Akshadh took them to their cabin. Dhiya observed all the pictures in the table and wall. There was a rack filled with awards and medals. Dhiya was keenly looking at every pictures of him.
Madhan phone rang and he excused from there.
Silence occupied between them and meanwhile Madhan entered in. Both Akshadh and Dhiya looked at him as he was about to convey something and they gave space for it.
"Madhan, What?" Inquired Dhiya
"Dhiya, I need to send the quotation by today itself. I didn't prepare anything yet," he sighed.
"Ok no problem. We will help you. No worries," said Akshadh gently.
Madhan smiled.
"Akshadh, grant me a laptop if available and I will do the rest," Akshadh took his laptop and gave it to Madhan without even thinking for a while. Madhan and Dhiya discussed about some medical terms. Madhan opened his laptop and was looking at Akshadh to enter the password. Akshadh was busy in writing permission letter to his M.D. Dhiya didn't want to disturb Akshadh. She moved the laptop to her side and entered the password. The windows screen opened. Madhan looked weirdly at her thinking how could she knew his password?
Dhiya used his laptop once when they were in U.S to took some pictures from his laptop. She used these pictures as first step against Xenophobia in case of Allen.
Meanwhile, Akshadh excused from there to give the permission letter. He cancelled the meeting that is going to happen at this evening. The M.D of the hospital is visiting the hospital after one year. All the doctors and staffs were requested to be available without fail but Akshadh is taking permission letter to his M.D. This is the magic of love. Hardly, he got permission and he came happily to his cabin. He stopped hearing Dhiya's voice.
"Dhiya don't worry. You are sacrificing your love for her. No one will do it but you did for the sake of your sister," Madhan tried to calm her down.
"Again, she is calling Madhan, What shall I do? I can't make either Akshadh or Janu understand," Dhiya said worriedly.
"Ok, you pick up the call now and put it in loudspeaker. I will help you to reply," said Madhan and Dhiya nodded. They were not aware of Akshadh, who was standing outside the cabin. Akshadh felt worried seeing Dhiya's tears. He could understood her pain clearly. He assured himself that atleast he shouldn't trouble her. He has this feeling from very begging of this wedding talk that is the reason he didn't went to Mumbai to see Dhiya. He thought his presence may hurt her as he was standing as situational prisoner as he can't do anything against his maa's health...
Madhan got her phone and switched to loudspeaker.
"Dhiya, Did you reach Delhi?" Janu asked from other side
Dhiya looked at Madhan, "Yes, Janu,"
"Ok good Dhiya, Did you find that lady?"
Tears touched Dhiya's cheek. Madhan gestered Dhiya to say positively.
Lady? Whooo? ~~~ Akshadh's mind voice. Why Dhiya is sobbing?
"Yesss Janu....," She sobbed in between
"Good Dhiya..What is she telling? Ask her to go out from Akshadh's life. Really irritating, Dhiya. I was very tensed Dhiya. Akshadh shouldn't know about this at any cost. Please be careful Dhiya, she shouldn't say my name to Akshadh...Deal her smartly and kick her out," Janu said tensely.
"Hmm," Dhiya hummed.
She wiped away the falling tears. She tried best and gathered full strength.
"Ok sure Janu, She won't tell your name to Akshadh and I will handle smoothly. Trust me and be happy. Bye," Dhiya said and ended the call without hearing her response.
Dhiya closed her face with her palm and cried continuously. Few minutes later, "Madhan, my Janu is not this kind but love changed her. Her words shows how much she is in love with Akshadh. She never hurt anyone by nature and she was fully engaged by social service but today? It is everything because of me. I am responsible for everything," Dhiya said genuinely wiping her tears out.
Akshadh can't see Dhiya's tears. Knowing Janu was the reason behind Dhiya's tears he enter inside without thinking a moment.
