2 Chapter Two

He stepped out and ran to the body, his car's headlights on and dude to it he can see the body is of a girl... he with trembling hands hold her in arms and put in back seat of the car. Her body feels like any second it will have shattered in pieces... he can feel the broken bones... his eyes not dried out and before shutting the back door his eyes saw a card in her neck, imprinted with a name he never heard before.

Annika!!

There's so much pressure over his head he can feel, hardly he make himself on driving seat and race the car... the same car now not able to cross the speed limit of forty, he's continuously trembling and there's nothing he could do... his eyes stick on road and whenever his eyes dare to move and saw the back seat situation he shush them and again put his focus on road.

He had to inform someone... he can't deal all alone this matter...

He was thinking and then he stopped the car and grab his phone quickly and again race the car but this a bit faster as he can heard now the last heavy breaths of the girl from behind... she open phone and dial the number.

"Hey Son." As the person answer, there's a thick voice came.

"Dad I'm in trouble I need your help please." In a trembling voice he said and that's enough for the man on other side of phone to understand the situation is serious.

"What happens Shivaye? Tell me everything."

"Dad a girl hit by my car and I think she's about to die I don't know what but—, Saying this and driving he eyeing the lost girl and he shiver again seen her whole body collapse and soaked in blood.

"She's not in right condition and I don't know what to do please dad tell me."

"Ok listen just relax ok and tell me where you're taking her now?"

"I don't know maybe the nearest hospital I'll find dad." He's saying and driving and expanding everything.

"Now listen take her to a private hospital near the block and I'll be there before you, ok don't worry I got your back." Said his father, Taj and phone cut off he wipes down his face and focus again on the road.

After some minutes when he reached, his father already got there and waiting for him. As his car approach they ran for him and quickly take him down from car and a driver on his place grab the seat and drove off for hospital entrance. His shirt already soaked with blood so his father put him in car and make his way to home.

"Dad why we're going home right now? The girl wasn't in good condition." He said seen the road to his house. In some seconds he become a fearful child from a brave guy who's ready to conquer the world.

"You need to change plus don't worry I already handle everything, driver will give the statement that he was on location and accident happened by him." The old man was saying while focusing on driving, without given him a second look.

Shivaye's eyes saw his shirt and he quickly turn eyes on other side but his mind already lost in that accident, the thoughts replaced by the girl whom his car crushed so cruelly that she's in between life and death or maybe already dead.

Further way he kept quite and just close his eyes, when he reached there and on demand of his father he went to room for a quick bath and to throw the shirt away, he already handle himself a lot.

•You left the girl who's in this condition, what if someone you love is at the same spot then you do the same too?

These were the thoughts he had during the shower, he want to shook them but his whole self already under influence and he can feel the heat of his body.

•You suppose to love people Shivaye Singh Oberoi, you were the guy who spend hours with poor people and here when a girl is in mouth of death you hide like a coward!!

Again he find himself saying to him, he put his hands on ear but the voice still coming— he want to Suppressed it but slowly the voice start louder and there's left nothing but the voice.

»Dad said he'll handle everything, she'll get good treatment.

He try to make a point to himself, the other person who's totally like him sigh seen him from mirror.

•She's a human Shivaye not artificial thing, you cause her damage. She's in this condition because of you.

»Listen stop blaming me, it wasn't on purpose, everything happened in second— I'll make sure she get best treatment from world class doctors.

He was given the explanations to himself but nothing works, the guilt after passing each second increases and face of the girl soles in blood and the gore he feel that time on his hands appear into his eyes. It was a moment when he got up and ran for the exit. His father already in hospital and mother out of country That's why no much people know about it only he and his father.

When he went to hospital and entered in emergency ward there he find his father.

"What are you doing here Shivaye ask you to stay home." Seen him there,  dad quickly move near him and with anger he said.

"I'm sorry dad I already make a mistake but I won't ran away now, it all happens because of me and I've to face it."

"Are you out of your mind? I order you to leave right now Shivaye." Anger start building up in dad's eyes but he ignored and walk near the room where she must be in.

"Shivaye I say just leave right now, police will be here for investigation and I don't want you to be here." Holding his arm dad said but he shook and straight himself.

"No papa, I'm not leaving— what I did before enough for me to hide my face from the world.. I Shivaye Singh Oberoi always talk about bravery and courage and when time comes to prove I ran away like cowards." He's on edge of crying, as he start hating himself. The act of before was enough for him to understand what a great coward he is in actual. He hit a person and instead of facing first he leave and then he ran away home putting whole mess on a poor driver.

"I don't need your humanitarian speech here Shivaye... just leave right now, media will be here too and if they know that you were involved in the accident things will complicated so leave I'll handle everything for god sake." Instead of rushing over him, dad's tone turned into polite one and he try to make his point clear on him.

"I'll face the media papa but I'm not going anywhere this time." He said seen the inside view of room, it was a small glass circle he couldn't see much form it but enough for him to see five to six doctors there moving quickly and attentive on the body. Dad trying to make him agree but every-time he said something Shivaye reject the idea and stood on point of not leaving her in this condition.

"Ok fine you want to say here do it but you've to agree for something and I don't want any excuse in that matter." Finding no other way dad finally surrender, Shivaye face him and nodded.

"You'll talk to media only what I'll ask for, it's not about you but my business my reputation Shivaye and because of your one silly mistake I don't want dirt on my name you got my point?" It was a clear cut sentence, Shivaye try to argue but dad was determined on his statement and that was the only condition for him to stay here.

"Ok fine I'll do what you ask for but you've to save Jeet from the case."

"I'll do don't worry— now I'm going to make some calls stay here." Saying this dad leave the place typing something on phone when the driver appear holding water bottle in hand.

"Shivaye sir you here?" Jeet said in confusion seen him standing near the room, Shivaye nodded.

"I'm sorry for everything Jeet, Because of me you fall in all the trouble I'm so sorry."

Shivaye said putting his hand on Jeet shoulder, Jeet smile and shook his head.

"Don't make me shameful Sir, I know the consequences of you having in front of media and under investigation so don't worry no matter what happens I'll never let you get into trouble." His words lost, what he told him now? So simply with a smile he took all the blame on his head and save him. He hug him and thanked.

"Here's the shirt Jeet, you'll wear this one and will explain what I told you to." They we're talking when dad came back along a shirt in packet and his secretary too with him having some things in hand. Jeet nodded and excusing them all quickly change into the shirt. It was a blooded shirt just like Shivaye's.

Two hours passed and doctors still not came outside, media already came and Along dad Jeet give his statement and for that police arrest him. Shivaye too give a single statement and media leave from hospital now. His smile lost now. He's finding himself so low right now.

First he hit someone and make her rescued on edge of death now because of him an innocent guy went into jail to save him.

He's lying to everyone and excusing to save himself and family name. He want to scream but sit on chair silently when the doors finally open and all the doctors came of it. They put the mask off from face and discussing things when he stood and walk near them.

"What happens doctor? Everything alright? How's the girl? How was operation? Did she ok?" He was questioning in one breath and doctor for a second confused but then nodded, other doctors leave and left only with him.

"Tell me Doctor why you're not saying something?" Finding him silent he yell this time.

"Mr. Oberoi the girl is in critical condition, we did all what we can, her body lost majority of blood already when she came here, her Legs completely crushed and for that she might for rest of her life never able to walk on her feet—,

Doctor was saying and he feel someone squeeze his heart in his chest. Doctor was explaining everything that how her body lose control, how her spinal code got hit hard and it will took months for her to just sit on a chair. For months she'll not able to stood up, walking on feet is far other thing. That how the bones of her left arm broken and she'll not able to move the left arm for long time.

"I made a girl cripple." He was saying and the pain, the guilt of given so much pain to someone make him hard to stay there. He's about to leave for open place when stopped Seen a young boy coming along his dad.

"Shivaye meet him, he's younger brother of Annika— Sahel." As the words leave dad's mouth, his foot paralyzed there and eyes turned into stoned. The little guy who's barley of ten to twelve year standing a little far seen him with concerned eyes.

You're the culprit! You're the reason my sister never able to walk again in her life— you're the lowest person of this planet— I hate you so much— God destroy you and make you good for nothing..!!

"Please don't." He Yell Putting the hands on ears.

"What's the matter Shivaye?" Dad question's Taking the little Sahel near him.

"Nothing papa... I... how you find him?" Ignoring the thoughts of what he just assume before, question to change the topic.

"Ohh well he was calling on his sister phone and Jeet picked the call that time, phone was destroyed too but enough to answer. They're living far from here so I send driver to take him here before."

"How's my anni now?" The junior guy questions looking at him, Shivaye forget every word he had before.

"He's fine I took you right? Doctors said she's much tired now so she'll do rest for some days now." Another lie said by dad and Shivaye say nothing but gazing his father, who's handling everything just like any corporate sector deal.

Shivaye about to back off when Sahel move forward. "Thank you so much sir for saving her." Saying this he hugged his legs making him lose the least drop of courage he had in heart. "Your papa said you're an angel who saved my anni, you take her here, you're angel."

The junior was saying and his each word make Shivaye more and more shameful for everything he did and now lying to a small, innocent child. He had left nothing to say more. All he can feel Sahel around his legs saying words of goodness which he totally not deserved.

"Thank you angel for saving my Anni."
