Toxic love by Shikha Mishra (good books to read for 12 year olds TXT) 📗

The whole 24 hours I was uptight leaving the sleeping hours which was not much just 2 hours. Being uptight did give my body pain. I did tried to be calm but it didn't.

In between I got the pictures of crying vihaan which made my breathing laboured. I wanted to call someone to tell them to take care of him as he is alone but I didn't had a phone myself and I don't know if they even allow talking on a phone.

The nervousness was gone as soon as I landed in India. After collecting my luggage I quickly went to the landline but as soon as I checked my pocket for coins I realised that I don't have rupees. I quickly went to a officer and he guided me to some place where I got some of my dollars exchanged to rupees.

I reached the calling booth and it was packed by some other man. I started pacing left and right. I again checked to find it empty and instantly I get in. I call the landline number of Mia's house as I don't remember her phone number. No one picks so I again call and fortunately it get picked.

"Hello." I say with a huge smile.

"Oh my god Disha? Is that you?" That's my friend. She knows me so well.

"Ye-yes." I mumble.

"Disha where are you? Everyone is fucking sick here when they came to know that you ran away." Did vihaan told them everything? Means they know about vihaan and without realising I ask her.

"How.....how is Vi-Vihaan."

"You don't know? Fucking hell you don't know. He is not good. Leave it. Now tell me where are you?"

He is not good.

This is all my fault. Why did I left him? But we also.... can't be together. His love will break both of us.

"Disha where are you?"

"Indira Gandhi airport." I mumble. Did I do the right thing?

'But....if your heart still wants that person don't leave them. If your heart can't bear to be away from them then be with them' suddenly Lisa's words strike me.

"Wait. I am coming." And the phone call ends. I come out and sit on the floor.

Did I do the right thing?

Was my decision rash?

"Disha. Disha." I come out of my thoughts and raise my face and instantly the tears which were not coming since yesterday started trickling from my eyes.

I stand up and take her in my arms and ask her "Mia did I do the right thing? Please tell me. Please." I sob. I want someone to say that you did the right thing. That I didn't took a wrong decision by leaving him. I nuzzle my face in her neck.

"Shuh." She pats my back but instead of calming me it strikes more tears from my eyes.

"Tell me Mia. Please I....beg you." I again cry out as I don't get any answers from her. She pulls me and I allow her letting me walk to where ever she wants. Must be her car. We settle in the car. The whole ride I was crying like a baby.

"So you want me tell you if what you did is right or wrong?" I nod frantically. We are in her room. I didn't see her mom and dad or I must have not seen properly.

"So according to me you did.... wrong." And that made my breathing stopped.

"You know what is happening right now in Seattle?" I shake my head in denial. I know whatever will come out of her mouth it would not be good.

"Vihaan is in hospital. He got in an accident." As soon as I heard her say that everything stopped. He is in hospital. Because of me he is in hospital.

"Everyone are in Seattle only. He hasn't opened his eyes. Doctors has said that he is out of the danger but if he doesn't opens his eyes he will go in a coma. Everyone are very angry at you. If Suma aunty saw you I am sure she will kill you."

"Take me to the hospital Mia." I plead. This is all my fault. And I am going to make it right.

"Oo I have already told Raj uncle and he has prepared his private jet for us." I nod.

In few hours we reached Seattle and a car was already waiting for us. I was feeling dizzy as I haven't eaten for hours. I took an apple which was in the limousine and it did gave some relief from dizziness.

My heart started thumping furiously when we reached the hospital that I am sure if someone hugs me they will know.

We enter in the elevator but as soon as we come out of the elevator to the desired floor my head flips to another direction. My hand goes to my cheeks. With a stinging cheeks I look up and see Suman aunty with a furious look.

"I..." Before I can complete another blow comes to my cheeks and this time it's from mom.

"Not another word Disha. How can you be so immature?" Mom shouts.

"This is all your fault. My son loves you so much and what you gave him in return. You ran away for a petty reason." Suman aunty shouts. I know it's my fault but it was not for a petty reason. He took away the my child without me knowing. He didn't even find it right to discuss with me. My child died without even seeing the world.

"Can...can I meet him?" I ask instead of saying all that loud.

"No you can't. You are not going to see him." She shouts.

"Suman let her in. Our son loves her and he would not like it if he finds out that we stopped his love to see him." Raj uncle replies.

Without lifting my gaze from ground I make my way towards the room which Raj uncle is pointing. I saw dad shaking his head in a disappointment and it dampen my mood more. Was it wrong of me to leave vihaan because he took away the baby which we both created.

I still as soon as I enter the room. Vihaan is laying on the bed with a bandaid on his head and eyes closed. There are various cuts on his body. A bandaid from his left shoulder going to his stomach is looking gruesome. Tears start sliding from my eyes. Guilt starts seeking in.

"Vi-Vihaan." I mumble but don't get any response from him.

I take a step towards him and keep repeating it till I am standing before his body. My hands on their own accord goes to his head and start caressing it.

'I love it when you do this.' suddenly I get remember his words. I bite my lips to restrict the sob which wanted to come out.
