Rejuvenation Process

" Ritik..... (teary eyes)", Zara was the first to reach as she ran towards my ventilator with crying eyes and a surprised smile.

She was stopped by Natasha as I was sleeping, understanding the situation she just sat outside.

Similar thing happened with Maya as she too started crying as she saw me sleeping soundly after waking up.

••••••••••••••••••

Some hours later I was informed that I was gonna transfer back to my house where the next treatment of mine gonna be followed.

I also met with Zara and Maya, greeting them with smiles I apologized to them for making them worry so much.

That moment was very emotional from a third person point of view but the things I had running in my mind did not let me properly console the beautiful teary ladies.

The scene of the harsh betrayal of Surya with an expressionless face and Veronica's teary face while being pulled away right in front of my dimming eyes was deeply ingrained in my mind and was being constantly replayed making me depressed from inside.

•••••••••••••••••••••••

" I feel..... refreshed", I said inaudibly while being pulled on the stretcher inside my house.

After putting me in the ventilator and attaching several equipments to me on the home made ventilator, only one doctor stayed for my regular checkup while the other doctors and staff left.

•••••••••••••••••••

" Can I know the follow up story, how did you all found out about me being in the hospital", I asked Sania who was sitting on my side while all the other girls were busy in different works of their own.

" I don't know much but we just suddenly received a call that there's Ritik admitted in the hospital. There's definitely someone behind it because you were directly sent to your private doctor's hospital without even letting the public know about it. It's as if it all was pre-planned", Sania said with frowning eyes.

" I.... understand", several different kinds of situations with tens of results and possibilities ran inside my mind.

" Ritik..... please don't think much about it for some time. All of us went through the hardest time in the past week so let's rest and be lazy for the next month. I don't want to loose neither you nor the girls so please..... let's not do anything excessive for the next month or so..", Sania said with a serious caring voice.

Feeling the care, love and fear in her voice I could not stop myself,

" OK... as you said I won't do anything for some time now. So please take good care of me..... for now can you help me pee, I think my bladder's gonna tear apart.."

haha* haha*

15 DAYS LATER ---

I had already started walking again and was on a speedy road to recovery.

I could still not run but could walk easily.

" Ritik.... you're still not listening to me, how can you be so so out of your mind", Shanaya said while sitting on my side.

I was sitting silently thinking of that particular betrayal while Shanaya was saying something. Feeling me being out of zone just like the past 15 days she got angry.

After returning from the hospital I got the best support one could ever imagine from a family.

They took full care of me right from the start of the day to the end. Everyone spend certain amount of time with me and like that there was always someone in there to take care of my needs. Even the male doctor from the hospital was astonished after looking at me being treated as such by the girls. He didn't need to do much thing due to that and was happy just dressing up my wounds every few days.

" Wh... what, sorry I couldn't listen to what you were saying", I said with a simple expression but that complicated distressed look could not be hidden from her.

" Ritik.... why are you distressing yourself so much for something which was way out of your hand, you need to understand what we are going through with this attitude of yours. You've been back from the hospital for 15 days already and yet there's almost no instance of you laughing or even smiling like before, it's not just about you but the problems that this causes to us. I don't want this sad, depressed, shady looking Ritik I want my old Ritik back I don't want don't want I just don't want you to be like this.... sob* sob*", Shanaya started crying while ranting me loudly which struck my mind hard.

' what am I doing, it's not like me to just loose hope and be depressed with situations like this. It was my fault to be too careless with the situation. I need to be aware of every situation. It's not an accident it's just an experience to teach me the real important thing in life. Don't trust your closest wholeheartedly even in your most relaxing moment. I need to get the hang of it and move on, just being like this won't bring Veronica back. I need to make a plan and execute it with perfection. Yes.... I will bring her back. What about the biggest Mafia, what about the terrorists and what about the biggest underworld connections, can they go against the whole country. I'll get a country under me and then fuxk the whole American Mafias up. Yes, I'll just do that...', rejuvenating with a new found energy and motivation I cheered in my heart.

" Yes... I understand, thank you Shanaya, thanks for ranting me. I know what to do next but before that let's start.."

••••••••••••••••••••••••

SHANAYA'S POV ---

It's been 15 days since Ritik returned but it looks like he's unable to get that Veronica thing out of his mind. I understand that it's hard when something like that happens and even harder if the reason of that is your more than a brother friend but he needs to get himself up. We all are going through such hard time just because of looking at him so out of zone for these past 2 weeks. I'll go and talk to him myself today or else nobody would put something harshly in his mind....

I was trying to talk with him but just like the past 15 days he just didn't listen to it. Being angry already I ranted him harshly but rather than being angry or something like that it looked like my words rejuvenated him and a beautiful smile, way cheerful than any of the past fifteen days came on his handsome face.

I was surprised when he suddenly said something totally out of the situation which really made me happy but then the real change happened, he... pounced on me and....
