Apologies

Aarush ended up with tears. He left without saying to sit with me.

(Opens the Door)

Pulling a chair near me, he sits and writes something at the back of my diary. And then, he closed it and kept aside after finish doing it. Holding my hands, he looks into my eyes which are not opened since three months. Slowing rubbing his fingers on my forehead, and said, "Some people left without any answers to our queries, some people left because they wouldn't able to explain the condition and some left due to illness." Wiping out his tears falling, he said again, "You please don't leave me, at least when I needed the most. I need someone to hold and cry for long, I need you Rooh, don't leave me when you wake up…"

Sharon came to talk with Aarush but looking his emotional words from outside the room; he went back and left him alone for sometime with me.

(Two Days Later)

The flight was about to land in one hour. And Sharon was told to receive Mrs. Niharika, so he went to airport and stand holding a tag "Mrs. Niharika from UK" as if he never seen her before, after fifteen minutes the flight was landed, it become very difficult to find her there. Later, he found that, a lady is standing near his car, he went there and then found that she's Mrs. Niharika. He greeted her and then, said, "Is the flight was good, Ma'am?" and she constantly smiling same as Dr. Avantika told him about her, the most smiling angel in our group. She never shares her problems only because we will get upset, so when she's is sad she organize a party for us. Her dimple was enough to make any man fall even at this age of 40+. Her eyelashes look beautiful with those wrinkles also. Sharon's parents were also the part of Mrs. Niharika's friend circle. So he knew some what about her so well that he can recognize her easily. Her story was quite famous in the group and his mom used to tell her when he was young. They just introduced themselves while reaching to the place for her to stay, also he asked about her health and she asked about his parents, Dr. Avantika and Aarush too. She insisted to meet them first. So he drives to hospital building.

(In the hospital)

Sharon said while walking inside and pointing directions to her, "Ma'am, Straight to the reception counter, heading towards left on your second right turn is Dr. Avantika's Cabin and the last room of the hospital is Room No. 56, this will lead to Rooh's ward, where Aarush will taking care of." And he was about to text everybody that she is here but she said, "Don't let anybody knew that I'm here first, I'll personally meet them, and thank you Sharon for this. Will surely meet you and your parents one day…"

(Sharon greet her by leaning little down)

She walked to Dr. Avantika's room and found nobody there; she waits for around ten minutes. A ward enters the room and she asked him about the doctor. He said, "Madam, she went to an emergency surgery and she'll be back after half an hour I guess." And he went out after keeping the files in table. She replied him, "Thank you so much".

She decides to go and meet Aarush by the time, she tries to remember the room no. and after thinking for long she concluded that it's room no 56 or 55, but confused. So she finds the room no. 55 and asked somebody about last room of the hospital. She went to the upstairs and checked every floor, then reached the second floor and found room no. 54 but haven't found 55 or 56. She was sure that it's either 55 or 56 not 54. So she thought to ask somebody, but saw a man in uniform walking towards her. She move forward to ask him, but saw a man come out of the room and talked to the man walking, she finds that later man was looking like familiar one and then suddenly found that might be he's Aarush. So she rushed to see him after both men finished talking. She walked inside and found that room no 55 is written as "Store Room" but anyhow she stepped in and found nothing but another door with name "Room No. 56" and when she enter that room she finds another part of the hospital where we can enter from the backyard and the lights and cleaning floor all looked the second part of the entrance. She found a room with glassed doors and windows, and only windows have curtains.

She watched from the glass door and found Aarush sitting beside my bed. But she couldn't see his face so she walked near the window which was already open where she can see both of our faces and could here whatever he's saying to me. What she heard was really emotional,

*a conversation between us with the dialogues of Aarush*

"You know Rooh; today my mom is going to come to India after so long years. I know what you are thinking, that why I haven't told you about her, right. Because I used to hate her after my dad died. What he told about her was only half correct and I feel bad for him too, as I knew the truth just three days before and now I feel bad for her too, also I'm feeling sorry for everything that I haven't get her back. Now, I need her, but don't know what to say, how to say, how to face her, she's is strong, not me. (Tears rolling down) She was my mom why hated her this much, I don't know Rooh; I haven't even talked with her since then. It's our destiny that Dr. Avantika is her best friend and I'm here to hear the truth of her. I know you want to say that I should not cry, I should be happy but the moment I'll face her, I won't stop my tears and even if I want to hug her I won't have that courage to do that."

(Mrs. Niharika cried looking and hearing those words)

"You Reached", a voice said from her back.
