~#7. Hurt~
Myra walks over after a trifle with Vedant. She has taken him wrong. As she's walking away, her way is blocked by a few people. They tease her and one of them tries to hold her hands. Myra is taken aback by the actions of the people. She tried to free herself from the man's grip, but his grip seems firm. Myra tries to threaten them but it didn't have any effect on them. Meanwhile, someone storms on the men and the one who's holding Myra by her hands, gives her a push, such that she falls on the ground and hits her head & darkness embraces her.
Some time later, Myra opens her eyes. She finds herself on the hospital bed. She hears her sister's worried voice. She looks to her side and finds a worried Ruhana looking at her.
"Tu thik hai na? Tujhe college mein padhne ke liye bheja tha, ladne ke liye nahi. Agar kuch ho jata toh?" Ruhana scolds her.
Myra is amused. She doesn't remember what lands her here. She looks at Ruhana.
"Di, main yahan kaise?" she asks.
"Vedant brought you here. Tu toh behosh thi. Dekh kitni zor se lagi hai sar pe." Ruhana says worriedly.
"Kya hua tha??" Ruhana asks.
Myra tries to remember, but her head hurts. Ruhana makes her lie on the bed and asks her to rest. Myra can't understand what is happening with her. She watches as Vedant enters the room. His head is bruised.
"Vedant, are you okay?" Ruhana asks.
"I am fine, Ruhana ji. How's Myra?" he asks affectionately and looks towards Myra.
Their eyes meet, and they are lost in each other for good minutes. Ruhana's voice brings him out of the trance.
"Par vedant hua kya tha? Tumhe aur Myra ko chot kaise lagi?" Ruhana asks again.
Vedant casts a look at Myra and the explains what happened that day. While they turn into opposite direction, Vedant heard Myra's scared voice. He finds some men surrounding her, and trying to harass her. He makes his way towards her and finally manages to save her. But she's hurt on her head. He also adds that Myra met him that day. Ruhana is worried to know all of it and she asks Vedant to take care, as he's hurt too. Meanwhile, the doctor comes for Myra's checkup and she tells Ruhana that she can take her home. Myra smiles, for she never likes the idea of staying in hospital. Vedant offers her to drop them at their home.
For some reason, Myra snaps at him. She knows he has helped her but she can't stop the words, that have left her lips, already.
"We can go by ourselves. Tum jao apni duty pe." Myra says.
"Myra! What is this? He helped you and you're being so rude! This is not right." Ruhana scolds her little sister.
"Oh di! Aap isko jaanti nahi ho. Please isey bolo Yeh jaye yahan se." Myra says angrily.
Well, there is no specific reason, but it's Myra's hate for men, and the prey is Vedant. Despite knowing the fact that Vedant has saved her life, Myra is still rude to him.
Vedant smiles lightly and takes his leave. Soon after, Ruhana and Myra also leave for home. On the way home, Ruhana looks at Myra.
"Myra! Why are you so rude to vedant?" she asks.
"Di please! Mujhe koi baat nahi karni is Vedant ke baare mein." Myra says.
"He saved your life, Myra. He's not what you think. He's a police officer. Agar wo tujhe yahan na laata aur mujhe call na karta toh mujhe kuch pata hi nahi chalta. You should have been polite with him, Myra." Ruhana says.
"Di, wo bas shakal se innocent dikhta hai, par hai nahi." Myra says.
"Aur aisa tujhe kyun lagta hai? Dekh Myra, not every man is same. Kisi ek ki wajah se hum sab pe shak nahi kar sakte." Ruhana says.
"Di usne aapse politely baat kar li, toh aapko wo acha lagne laga. Aisa nahi hota hai. I saw him meeting someone today. Aisa laga jaise wo us ladki ko use kar raha ho." Myra says hatefully.
She still believes that Vedant is wrong. He is doing bad deeds with the power of his police uniform. He helped her only to be in her good books. This is the reason she hates him. Ruhana sighs and stops the car as they enter in the society. She parks her car and both sisters make way to their bungalow. Ruhana takes Myra to her room and asks her to rest. Myra makes a face but Ruhana scolds her.
"Myra! You're hurt on the head. Have some rest. Main kuch snacks aur coffee laati hoon." She says and leaves the room.
It's almost 5 PM by the time they return home. The incident took place in the afternoon and since then Ruhana is with Myra. She gets ready to make some coffee. She also remembers Vineet's words. Oh! She forgot to call him. She's so worried for her sister. Ruhana moves out of the kitchen and pulls his card from her clutch. There's his mobile number, she dials the number. After a few rings, he picks up the call.
"I'm sorry Vineetji. I forgot to call you. Can we meet tomorrow?" she asks it all in one go.
"Relax Ruhana ji. We can meet anytime you say. By the way, everything fine?" he asks out of concern.
Ruhana nods affirmatively and then they decide that they'll meet the next morning at his office. After a brief talk, Ruhana cuts the call. She makes the coffee and heads to her sister's room to feed her something and to give her the medicines that the doctor has prescribed.

Singhaniya House
Vedant and Vineet reach home following each other. Their mom gets worried as she sees a bandage on Vedant's head. She rushes towards her son..
"Kaisa lagi ye chot tujhe? Sab thik hai na?" she asks.
"Chill mom! I am fine. Choti si chot hai, thik ho jayegi." he says.
"Haan Haan, tere liye choti si chot hoti hai. Chal fresh hoke aa jao dono bhai. Main khana lagati hoon." Pallavi says.
Both the brother agree and they rush up to their room to freshen up. Few minutes later, they descend down the stairs and the family of four have dinner with light chit chats. But, vedant is silent today. Usually, it's Vedant who talks about his cases, but today he isn't saying anything. Ronit and Pallavi try to ask but he didn't reply. Their mother asks Vineet to ask the matter to Vedant while he assures her about the same.
There is no hiding between the two brothers. Vineet decides to ask the matter after dinner. An hour later, both Ved and Vineet are on the terrace and Vineet gazes at his younger brother.
"Kya hua Ved? Aaj itna shant kyun hai?" he asks.
"Kuch nahi bhai" he says.
"Ab tu mujhse apni baatein chhupayega? Chal bata kya hua?" Vineet asks.
Vedant sighs deeply and tells him how Myra misunderstood him. She doesn't want to meet him, or see his face, he adds. That makes him sad. He also makes it clear that Myra is Ruhana's younger sister. Vineet is lost in thoughts after hearing him and says something that leaves Vedant surprised.
To Be Continued.
