4 Can he accept that?

Ravi followed behind the doctor and entered the room. Harshitha stood there blankly she didn't want this to happen to Arjun. She wanted him to find a girl who could give her everything to him, that's why she broke up with him.

Harshitha can see Arjun's pale face inside the ICU, her eyed reddened finally she made up her mind and entered the ICU. She sat on the chair beside the bed. She held his hand gently and kissed it, her tears came down. She kept on muttering"I'm right beside you, wake up please. You were right my heart always belongs to you, no matter what happens from now on I'll never leave you. I love you."

Arjun had regained his conscious half way during the surgery, but he couldn't feel anything. He could only hear sounds around him. When he heard Harshitha's sobbing voice, he wanted to comfort her unfortunately no matter how much he tried he couldn't even open his eyes.

Arjun didn't know why she was here, did the news about him involved in accident was already known by his friends and family? If not how could she be here?

Harshitha was still holding his hand when her phone started ringing, she took it out from her pocket and saw the Id she answered it.

"Where are you? Do you know what time it is? It's nearly 12pm!" An angry voice sounded out from the other side of the phone call.

"Mom I won't be coming home today, I've things to take care of" Harshitha's voice was a little choked.

Harshitha's mother could make out the difference in her daughter's voice and asked "What happened?"

"Arjun had an accident, I'm at the hospital right now...." Harshitha explained the incident that happened in the afternoon.

"I told you before, he has always treated you like a treasure. I even warned you not to break up with him but you never listened to me." Harshitha's mother seemed to be upset.

Harshitha didn't reply there was silence for few seconds before her mother asked "How is he now?"

"The doctor said his life is out of danger for the time being, but he is in vegetative state"

"Okay. Make sure come home tomorrow morning after accompanying him. Be careful" without waiting for Harshitha's reply the call was hung up.

Harshitha let out a sigh and shifted her attention back to Arjun. Harshitha was brought up by her mother since her childhood, she never had memories of her father. But her mother would always be sad when ever Harshitha asked her mother about her father.

Ravi entered the ICU and saw Harshitha holding Arjun's hand he let out a sigh and approached her. Harshitha also noticed him approaching, stood up from the chair and sat on the bed beside Arjun. Ravi sat on the chair and was looking at Arjun with complicated feelings.

"Uncle" Harshitha called out.

"Harshu I think it's better if you go home. The doctor said it would be difficult to get him back and also you still have your life, you can't waste your life over him." Ravi said without glancing at her.

"Uncle what are you saying?" Harshitha asked in a gloomy voice.

"You too know how he treats you, he wants to give you the best in everything. With his legs broken even if he regains his consciousness he won't be able to stand on his own. You have been with him and you know pretty well what he is like, do you think he will be willing to stay by your side and see you serve him for his entire life? Do you think he can accept that?" Ravi asked.

"Uncle what you said is true, but do you think he would leave me if I were in his situation?" Harshitha retorted back.

Upon hearing this Ravi stayed silent without speaking a word for a long time before sighing gently and left the ward leaving two of them alone.

Arjun who had regained his consciousness was already feeling guilt and heartache. Even though Harshu never accepted his feeling in front him, he always knew she too loved him, they didn't need words between them. Both were capable of understanding each other.

If not for that incident, they would have been together even now.
