Aman's POV

Its been 8 days since she woke up. First 5 days,she repeatedly asked about her parents. After that, she stopped. Maybe she understood the matter.

We had a schedule yesterday for her surgery but we found some issues so the surgery couldnt be performed yesterday. We need to wait for a month atleast.

Roshni is with me. We are going to my farm house, for her refreshment. She was bored in the hospital and I know she doesnt like the hospital smell. At first she was hesitating to go out. Maybe its because im a guy and the pain she suffered-was letting her to trust me easily. I am glad that she became ready to come with me. Still, I will talk to her about this.

I am fdricing the car. She is sitting beside me and admiring the nature outside. She is looking happy. It was the best decision to bring her here.

We reached. I halted the car outside my house. I went out and opened the door for her. I forwarded my hand and she happily took it. She is astonished to see the house i guess. And I couldnt take my eyes off her.

Roshni: This house is sooo big. I never saw such house in real. Yeh ghar apka hai?

I came into senses.

Aman: Glad you liked it. Roshni..

I uttered her name softly looking down. She came infront of me.

Roshni:What happened, doctor?

Aman:I know that we cant change what happened to you and I know that its not easy to some some other stranger guy after what happened with you. I am not pitying you. I just.. I just want to say that I am not like those boys. I just want you betterment so..

Roshni kept her hand on my mouth.

Roshni:Bas bas!

She then held my hands.

Roshni: You are my saviour, doctor. Main toh zinda hi nahi hoti agar ap na hotey. Maine Nurse Mili se suni hai how you took care of me when I was in coma. I trust you for me more than myself.

My lips curved into a smile.

Roshni:Now lets go inside na! I want to see your house. Its so beautiful..

Aman:Han han jarur!

I took her inside. Seems she likes the house. I am happy.

Evening time

I made her lunch in the noon and she liked that. I didnt allow anyone else here as I thought it will increase her anxiety more. She slept after lunch. Its 6 pm now. I should wake her up.

Writer's POV

Aman went to Roshni. Shw was sleeping on the bed peacefully. Aman's heart was arched seeing her burnt face and hand. He caressed her hairs.

Aman:Roshni? Uth jaiye,sham hochuki hai..

Roshni:Sone do na, doctor.

Aman:Hamein shopping ke liye bhi toh jana hai..

She sat down at once.

Roshni: Shopping? Nahi nahi mujhe bahar nahi jana yeh chehra leke.. Aur sab hasenge mujhpe..

Aman: Kyun hasega koi?

Roshni:Sirf hasenge nahi..Nafrat bhi karenge.. Main toh ab pure nahi rahi. Main..used..uss din wo bhi bol raha tha.. aur wo inspector?

Aman:Bas! Aur ek shabd nahi!

Roshni:Log kya kahenge aur-

Aman: Logun ka toh kam hai kehna. Unke liye jeena chhodh dengi ap? Mujhe laga ap bakio jaisi nahi hongi, ap strong hongi. And you also promised me that. Afsos horaha hai mujhe! Apko khula asmaan dena chahta tha par main akele chahu toh nahi hoga, udhne ki koshish apko karni hai Roshni. Ap ko nahi jaana na? Rahiye ghar.

Aman left the hall. Roshni stood there crying. She slowly wiped her tears and went to the room and closed the door. She stood infront of the mirror. She caressed her half burnt face.

*Roshni tun kitni khoobsoorat hai*
*Miss Lukhnow*
*Thodi khoobsoorti udhaar dedein*
*Main Fawad, apse nikaah karna chahta hun. Apke kaatilaana adaa mar hi daalte hai mujhe*
*Iske dono haath pakad*
*Kapde utaro jaldi iska*
[These lines were echoing around her]

She looked here and there and found a vase. She threw the vase on the mirror breaking it into pieces.

Roshni:Aaaaaa !

She screamed puting her hands on her ears.

Roshni:Nahi Roshni.. Tujhme himmat hai abhi bhi. Tera chehra thoda sa bigda hai and ..you are still beautiful. Aur wo log,unko toh main nahi chhodungi. Unke wajah se main jeena nahi chhodungi, main jiungi aur khushi se jiungi!

She took a lipstick and started applying on her lips.

On other side, Aman was sitting in his room.

Aman to himself: Kuch zyada hi boldia maine. Unko mentally strong banana tha..tod dia kya maine unkko? I should give a check on her.

He was about to go but Roshni went to him getting ready. She did a light makeup which Aman had gifted her after knowing her obsession about these things.

Roshni:Kaisi lag rahi hun main?

Aman couldnt believe on his eyes. He was feeling proud of her.

Aman: BEAUTIFUL AND CONFIDENT ♥️

Roshni smiled.

Roshni:I am sorry that..

Aman:Nahi Roshni, maine apko zyada suna diya, I am sorry. Mujhse galti hui, I shouldnt have said all those things to you.. I shouldnt..

Roshni:That was for my betterment, I know. I trust you, doctor.

Aman:Still Roshni, I did wrong. You can ask for anything..

Roshni:Accha actually..There is one thing..

Aman:Yeah, tell me?

Roshni: I actually broke the mirror. I was so exhausted. And-

Aman:Its okay.

Roshni:I want that mirror to be fine, doctor. I love decking up. I love to do makeup and I will need the mirror for that.

Aman: i am proud of you! You did it and you didnt let me down.

Roshni: Maine apka bohot nuksaan kardiya na? But trust me, I will pay you back after-

Aman:Its okay, koi baat nahi. Bhul jaiye.

Roshni:Nahi main ehsaan nahi rakhti.

Aman:Thik hai dedena. Now lets go and will get you some nice cloths.

Roshni nodded. Aman was about to go Roshni's voice stopped him. He was facing his back still.

Roshni: Mujhe pata hai ap sirf cheerup kar saktey ho, baaki udhna mujhe hi hoga. Khudse koshish karna hoga. Mujhe pata hai jab jab main age badhne jaungi, yeh duniya mujhe dhakka deke gira degi par mujhe haarna nahi hai, mujhe ladna hai. Mujhe duniya ko dikhana hai Roshni kamzor nahi hai! She is the strongest!

Aman turned to her.

Roshni:Roshni bohot strong hai, doctor aur wo unn buzdil ladkio jaisi nahi hai jo har mann ke suicide karlete hai. Roshni toh strong hai aur ap bhi toh ho usko sahara dene ke liye, ek aur plus point!

Aman nodded. He couldnt be proud enough. He smiled at her and she smiled back.

They went for the shopping then.

Writer's note- Not everyone gets a *caring Aman* beside her. Roshni is lucky indeed to have him by her side. We all need be like that *caring Aman* for people. We should keep a helpful mindset just like him. We should develop ourselves as good human beings and this is how we can change the typical society. It is high time, we should fight back against those filthy people.
