Advik POV :I woke up at a hospital bed. With a bandage around my head and some cuts and bruises. I groaned. And squinted my eyes to adjust to the surroundings. A man came in front of me and asked,"how are you feeling now?" My eyes widened in the realisation of Reyansh Singhaniya. What the hell is he doing here? When did he come back to India? How the hell I don't know it? Oh freak! Shit! How come I missed it?
He again smiled at me and asked,"Hey brother how are you feeling?"
I forced a smile and said ," I'm fine. What happened?"
"I found you on my way . You were unconscious and covered in blood. Your bike was lying a few feet away. I assume you had an accident before. "Memories flood into my mind. Yes I was riding my bike. But I crashed into someone's car . I don't remember much. I don't even know who caused it . Me or the car? I was about to ask him if saw any car there but I heard the door opening and two ladies entered. I recognised both of them. One was the lady who woke me up in the basketball court and the other was her. Aaryahi Roy Chowdhury. She looked somehow worried, relieved, shocked and tensed. Now I look up at the other girl. She was questioning the gaze at Reyansh. She tried to say something but Rey said," he is okay now and the doctors are going to release him. His injuries are not very deep . So I was going to take him home and introduce to you. But you got worried about the name of the accident. "
Aaryahi said,"it's not like that Rey. She insisted because of me?" We both frowned at her words. " I know him. And got to know that he is missing. So that's why."
I was taken aback. " I wasn't missing. I was just riding my bike. "
"That also by ditching your friends."
Wait how did she know. "Don't tell me Ron told you -"
"Yeah they are worried as hell and they are coming here in a few mi--"
The door burst open revealing my two worried best friends .
"Oh god Adi, what the hell. " They screamed but Rey said,"don't worry he is fine now. And getting released soon. Ok excuse me. Let me do the formalities."
Both had wide eyes like they saw some ghosts. Vihu quickly recovered his shocked state and tagged along with Rey .
"Wait Rey I will come with you"
"Oh Vihaan right?nice to see you man . You too Rounak." Saying this he walked away leaving the ladies confused. " You all know each other?" The other girl asked. "Yeah he is Adi's childhood friend "Ron answered.I got released and now I'm lying in my bed with Ron ,Vihu, Rey , Aaryahi standing near my bed and Jagriti is preparing food. She is a nice girl. She was against me having any packet of food and insisted on making it herself.
Ron came and sat on my bed." So who is gonna stay with this troublemaker tonight?" . He questioned vihu.
"Well of me. Because if you stay with him it would be him taking care of you , sleepyhead. "" What do you mean by that? I can take care of him ok?"
Vihu rolled his eyes. "We both are staying. I think we have scores to settle. "
I asked,"what scores?"
Vihu enquiries,"what were you doing last night Advik Malhotra?"
"I was sleeping peacefully in my bed."
"Jagriti saw you on the basketball court."Ron glared at me.
"Oh yeah I went for a jog early in the morning and started playing basketball. "
"So why were you sleeping there?"
I gulped. Not knowing what to say.
"I was feeling sleepy."
"Didn't you say you slept enough last night so why were you sleepy. "
"Hey I was going to meet you guys ok? And had an accident on my way. What about the night before? Hmm?"
"You clearly know what's happening and to reach the meet up you don't have to take that way? So tell me if you were out to meet us why did you take that way?"Both motherfuckers are questioning me like some CID officers . I sighed deeply not knowing what to say. I again looked at them . Vihu is looking at me frowning and annoyed by my lies. And Ron looks like he can kill me any time. He is literally boring holes through my soul with his eyes.
"Tell us what happened. Nahi to main teri shaadi karwa dunga. At least there would be someone to keep a watch on you" Ron threatened me.
I widened my eyes. "What ? Shaadi? Are you guys serious?"
"Listen agar tu nahi batayega na to main tujhe behos karke kisi se shaadi karwa dunga. ""What nonsense Ron. And what makes think ki main jag ne ke baad use meri biwi man lunga."
Vihu was silently fuming in anger by our stupid conversation now he growled,"are you guys serious? What fuck adi baat mat ghuma. Jo maine pucha uska jawab de. What were you doing there?"
I tried to argue,"main batt nahi ghuma raha trust me --
But I was cut off by miss Aaryahi Roy Chowdhury."Enough is enough. Why can't you just tell them the truth. "She paused for a bit and then widened her eyes and said,"oh god don't tell me you are suicidal."
I panicked hearing her and it slipped from my mouth,"no no Aaryahi I was just upset about something and couldn't sleep well so I went for a walk at night. I'm not suicidal or anything."
I saw her smirking. And that's the moment I knew that I fucked up. I looked at my two lovely asshole friends and saw them boring holes in my soul. Jagriti entered with a plate of food. But sensing the tension Rey suggested to leave.
"Aaryahi are you coming with us?" He asked her. She glanced at me and then at Ron. Who was still busy glaring at me. "Tonight I'm going to be with this motherfucker. So you should leave as it's getting late."
She nodded and said,"ok take care of him "
She looked at me for the last time and walked away. Uhhh was it so hard to wish me a goodnight or tell me to take care. I started pouting unknowingly.
"We are not your whores who will get melted by your ugly pout. Tell us what fucking happened."vihu said with a Icey cold voice. I sighed and said,"ok then listen but you need to be patient."
They nodded."As I said I wasn't able to get a goodnight sleep so I thought of going for a walk. It was nice and I was returning home but I was listening to music and suddenly that song started playing in my playlist and those memories flooded my mind. "
Flashback 📌
Fourteen year old Advik is sitting in a car's passenger seat with his beloved brother next to him driving his car. He is a very calm and loving person and also very caring towards Advik. But from a few months he seems different. He is no longer in his radiant personality. He is more like a dull living zombie.
Advik cleared his throat but his brother didn't look up. It was like he was lost in some deep thoughts. Even though there was not much traffic, his eyes were focused on the road with a frown on his face.
Advik: Bhai why are you not talking to me this morning. Did I do something?Still nothing. Advik sat there quietly. But as time went by he started getting bored and thought of playing some music.
Advik: Dev can I listen to some music. I'm getting bored. I don't have my video games with me you are not talking to me at least let me play some music.
Still nothing. Advik huffed in anger and played the first song in the music system. And his brother's favourite song started playing." Tujhe Bhula Diya "He has been listening to this song back and forth these days.
As soon as the song started playing the car came to a screehing halt. Daivik turned off the music system and shouted at me "Who the hell told you to play the song?" Advik was shocked at his sudden outburst but composed himself and said,"I was getting bored ok. And why are you shouting when you are the one who plays this song back and forth these days even when I get irritated you don't stop. So why are you getting angry now? " Daivik seems to realise what he has done. His facial expressions immediately changeed from angry one to apologetic one,"I'm sorry gollu. Actually I'm not at my best mood today. I'm sorry for shouting. You know ----
Daivik 's words were cut down by the loud horns of the huge truck coming towards us. Daivik widened his eyes and tried to pull the car out of the way and Advik panicked but ..........the truck crashed their car
Flashback ends 📍
"I'm sorry guys. I was out of my mind. Sorry for making you worry this much for me. "
"Oh god Adi it wasn't your fault. Till when are you going to carry this burden of guilt." Ron slumped in the bedside.
"The food is getting cold finish it first." Vihu brought the plate of food to me.
