Finding Eva


Lot of chaos was their in Sanskar's room avni entered and informed that sunshine is fine. Looking at the baby Sanskars eyes shined he was happy but his cravings was overpowering his feelings. There was no balance or control between mind and body. 

Sanskar: Please take her away from here i beg of you( he pleaded in a painful tone)

Avni came out of the room with baby her eyes watered. She observed the little one looking at her with questioning look. She made her understand Sanskar is not well and they would meet him after sometime.

While inside everyone struggled to pacify sanskar who wanted drugs and was behaving violently it was withdrawals symptoms. He did not want to scare the baby. Doctors gave him mild dose but he needed more. His days quota was given and then they can't give him more. He had to control his mind but it wasn't possible.

Swara entered the room she very smartly switched on the button cam on her dresses broach and captured Sanskar's violent behaviour. She silently slipped behind a curtain from where she can take video without coming in anyone's notice.

She kept capturing his struggle while the people around tried to hold him in place. The scene which swara watched non chalantly started hurting her when she saw him in pain and was trying to push Neil away from him so he doesn't harm him.

On his continuous pleading all the men left the room as he was crying in shear pain. Doctors told he needs to be left alone to avoid casuality.

Swara was standing in absolute corner hidden by curtain no one actually noticed her. Sanskar had noticed her but he wished to avoid everyone. She decided to walk out of the room but in the meantime shanaya dashed into the room and held Sanskar's hand.

Swara moved back and hid behind the curtain as she remembered shanaya is Sanskar's fiance and may think wrong as swara was the only one with him in the room. Sanskar was super agressive he picked up a scalpel and was about to hurt shanaya but she held his hand twisted it and threw the scalpel on bed.

She cupped his face and made him look at her.

Sanskar: It's hurting I can't take it tell the doctor to give me sleeping medicine..I don't want your sympathy get me drugs or alcohol...give little please... please little I won't ask more. Ahh my head would blast. Shanaya , my body is aching i would die please give me drugs he shouted.

She looked straight in his eyes...

Shanaya: No, sanskar time and again told you not to indulge in it. See what have you done to yourself. It's killing you why don't you understand. Sanskar you can die think about me, shree, avni forget about everyone just once think about your baby brother.

Sanskar stood up he pulled her harshly and pushed her out of the room locking the door behind. He was in immense pain and weak but his mind wasn't working it was like a bout of energy which was getting exhausted. He tripped and held beds railing his head started spinning. He could see Neil's painful face and hear shanaya's ranting from outside the door.

He closed his ears and shouted loudly "Leave me alone, Stop it please"

Standing up with difficulty he steps towards the glass wall and gently traced Neils face then dropped the blinder. Neil closed his eyes tight painfully and touched the glass which now didn't give him view of Sanskars room.

Sanskar: I can't see that pain in your eyes. Your tears would kill me chhotu you know how much your bhai loves you....

Outside the room

Shanaya went to next room and saw it's glass covered with blinder.

Shanaya: Neil, (she shook him) break the door sanskar has locked it get him out he is not well he needs doctors attention.

Neil(calmly): He just needs space and.... Nothing let him be if we hear any shouts or further panics then we would surely break the door. Sit down, he made shanaya sit there and himself left outside.

Neil had a slight smile looking at lil eva in avni's arm who was rubbing her eyes vigorously. She looked so cute just like some angel.

Neil: Why didn't you go home?

Avni: I was about to leave with angel but she doesn't want to go.

Neil(thinking): They won't allow more than one person. I am there and even RV is there so no worries you go home and also take shanaya di along with you.

Little one nodded in no. Neil looked at avni for help.

Avni: She is saying she won't go.

Neil: Stubborn just like bhaimaa. (To avni) You go i will take care of her. Has she eaten something.

Avni: Yes, she will sleep as it is she is unwell and tired with days happening. Her body is still recovering she would need proper sleep. I have also kept some khichdi which came from home. She said showing a tiffin. I will keep it in the room.

Neil: You leave i will take her. He took eva in his arms hugged avni side ways and wished her bye kissing her cheeks.

Very dramatically eva closed her eyes to show she didn't see them kissing. Neil smiled and then patted her hands.

Neil: Are you sleepy?

She nodded her head in positive. He looked around and saw a seating bench and asked if he can lie her there.
She widened her eyes and said

Eva: (signing): I would be scared alone

Neil: I would sit here just next to you.

Eva:   (putting finger under her chin) I would feel cold on that bench.

He couldn't understand her sign language.

RV came to his rescue she is saying how can she sleep on this she will feel cold. RV took her in his arms and hugged her. A relief washed over his face.

RV (to eva): You scared us please never do this again.

She withdrew from hug looked at him innocently and nodded her head signing in no. He smiled and again hugged with utmost love.

RV: (to Neil) How is bhai?

Neil(Smile faded remembering the scenario inside): Not good he has locked himself in the room. He is in pain Rv and i can't do anything, I am so helpless...

RV: Don't worry bhai is very strong he will come out of this and once he is back he would surely say " Neil, Rv look at shree how healthy he is you both don't eat properly." Then he would feed us with his own hands.

Neil: Typical maa wala attitude.

Neil smiled at this Rv left as he was on round and his senior was calling him giving baby in Neil's arm. Truth was his eyes were filled with tears, he would have broken the barrier and cried which would hurt Neil more.

RV: I will be back in sometime to check on bhai. Avni and Shanaya are in my room as shanaya was feeling little exhausted i asked them to rest their.

He side hugged Neil and giving flying kiss to baby left the space.

Neil smiled lied down made her sit on his stomach and then made her sleep on his chest. Eva happily took this gesture as she had started trusting seeing her rockstars trust in him. In no time she was softly snoring.

Flashback:

It was pouring heavily while a small boy stood in the crooked hut. It's roof hardly gave any sheltered water poured inside from everywhere. His brother promised that they would repair it in day or two but it abruptly started raining . He was feeling cold and shivering. He stood their as he was scared of thunder and loud noise that the water made splashing on tin roof.

A boy elder to him came in all wet the little one immediately hugged him. Elder one saw complete house was wet as rain water had splashed inside. As it was mud ground there was no way it would dry so soon.

He picked little one in his arms

Neil what happened strong boys don't cry like this. Won't you tell your bhaimaa

Neil: Those clouds scare me bhaimaa. Also, see air is roaring like lion.

Sanskar smiled whenever you feel scared or lost close your eyes and remember God your fear will run away.

Neil : Bhaimaa I am hungry.

Sanskar: I fed you before going to the hotel to clean the premises.

Neil face hung low he know they were short of funds and could hardly afford food. It was also true he was super hungry.

Sanskar felt pinch in his heart seeing his younger one crying face.

Sanskar: No worries i have an idea you can eat my food.

Neil: Sach bhaimaa (his eyes sparkled knowing he would get food but then he realised if he ate then sanskar would starve)

Sanskar: Kya hua chhote?

Neil: I am nat hungli you didn't eat since morning and this is what we have.

He remembered sanskar telling him the same while he fed him.

Sanskar (smiled) : You know today some good people had party at hotel they gave treat to staff also. Manager had kept my food i ate till my stomach got full. So now I am not hungry.

Neil: You didnt get yuummm food fol Neil.

Sanskar: sorry i will get next time.

It was a blantant lie the hotel owner was a shrewd man who troubled sanskar a lot. Made him do more work then he paid. He won't even allow sanskar a glass of water forget about food.

Saying sorry he took the plate of food and sat on door entrance with little Neil in lap and fed him.

Sanskar was tired and hungry but he didn't show. He just drank water changed into a spare pair of clothes and took Neil to wash hands and face. As they went to sleep he saw the floor was completely wet. Neil's eyes teared up seeing their plight but sanskar made him look at him.

Sanskar: Don't worry till your bhaimaa is alive no trouble would reach you.

He went little out of the room and saw a small space just on the footpath covered under shade outside a small shop. He took Neil in his arms and slept on the cold floor with Neil on his stomach. His body ached with coldness his shirt hardly gave him any relief but all that mattered was Neil.

Neil happily slept basking in warmth of his brother as sanskar covered him with warm clothes and also covered his ears. He laid his body so that his younger version could stay safe.

He shivered with cold while the little droplet of water splashed on his skin but he didn't care as Neil was calmly sleeping without any worry.

Back in the hospital corridor Neil still laid on the cold bench with little one sleeping on him. His eyes were wet tear drops were dripping from its corner. "Please keep bhaimaa safe, i have nothing without him, you know everything she can heal him. Let them have that chance" saying this he closed his eyes.

In another room:

Avni entered and saw her elder sister sitting hiding her face in her palm. Avni went and sat beside her while feeling her sister put her head on avni's shoulder.

Shanaya: I am tired, wish to just have a peaceful life.

Avni: Don't worry we would talk to bhai once again. This time he won't deny you Just talk to him once.

Shanaya (taking deep breath): Hmmm i would tommorrow itself.

Avni: Are you stressed because shiny is back?

Shanaya: Don't know it's been long.

Avni: I met her today and all the past memories came crashing infront of me.

Shanaya: I just can't loose him. I was strong very strong then i could have given him but now i love him and won't be able to survive without him.

Avni: You must be strong and ready to accept denial also. He has denied it previously.

Shanaya: May be this time he would agree. I just want you to be happy with Neil and have a happy life with sanskar.

Avni just nodded but somewhere in her heart she knows sanskars reaction.

Avni: Just confess your love di it's been long you have hidden this feeling from him.

In the room:

Everything seemed silent but Sanskar was in pain an immense unexplainable pain. He was unable to breath he pulled his hairs causing pain he wanted his body to feel immense pain so that he can just sleep. His face and eyes both had turned red. Sweat pearls shone on his forehead.

His body craved that puff which would make his mind forget the world. He tried to forget everything and the only means was those pills, alcohol, puffs or all of them together running in his vein.

He walked back to bed wobbly was about to fall but two soft hands held him and got him to bed.

Swara was confused she wanted to just go out of the room but was it safe to leave him alone in this situation. He hardly noticed her presence and won't even remember it later she thought. She walked a little when she was to unlock the door she heard his painful moan and then...

Sanskar: Stay for some more time.

She still didn't turn or look at him. But he seemed calm their was no agression as if her touch had done the work of soothing his mind.

He was wet with his own sweat. He kept on making his lips wet as he felt it was drying and his body was loosing It's energy. All the machines were detached and messed in the room. May be his body needed the medicines but his heart right now just needed love few soothing word. He was scratched due to needles and bleeding.

Sanskar:(confused tone) Why do you always appear when I am in pain?(angry) Speak...(soft tone) Ya i know to see how much pain I am going through. It is still less then yours hain na? He was rather speaking delusional modulating his voice as his eyes appeared drowsy.

Chhotu also don't want me anymore. You know i love him so much(he said opening his arms like a small child). He thinks i..ii...i would harm companies reputation can you imagine. No na i know he also doesn't think like that, but My baccha is loathing me and it hurts here (he said pointing towards his heart). I don't have anyone other then him to call as my family.  How would i survive without him?...no no correction why should i survive without him? She doesn't want me to stay with him but i swear i never intended to ruin his family.

Swara didn't turn but her eyes turned glassy. She thought she had made iron walls around her heart but no they were just like chocolate melting with liquid of warm painful words poured. That swara who wanted to tear this man apart was lost infront of this man who seemed like a child who lost everything.

I made him sleep in my lap like this he said sitting on bed in Indian way crossed leg. When he had fever i died inside but stayed strong for him. I fed him with my hands. When I didn't have food for days but still i was happy because i could feed him.

He loves me so much i know (he said putting his arms out and then gathering and getting it close to his chest like hugging.) I trust him he doesn't believe i molested that little one but his silence is killing...I am a setting sun but i wish he outshines forever just gives me a little space in his heart.

What if someday he...Garewals truth...No no... Whom am I telling this hahaha...to the one who herself believes I am a rapist.

Swara became alert assessing his words but then his next word calmed her.

Right now you are not that lawyer you are just shiny who listens to me fights with me for me. My shiny who can turn the World upside down to protect me. Shiny everyday in this 7 years you have been around whenever i felt lonely. Shiny please don't leave me alone i would shatter.

How she wished to turn and slap him ask him so many questions. She wanted to know why he tried to kill avi. She didn't turn or see his face she kept on staring the door infront.

Sanskar: I am so done with this

He suddenly opened his eyes

Sanskar:  I am tired let's finish this

Saying this in fraction of second he just picked the scalpel which lied on bed and pressed it hard on his wrist pulling it harshly tearing his soft skin. Blood spurt out he was gashing hard but hearing his moans swara ran towards him pulled the scalpel she looked at it and then threw it away slapped him hard. He literally fell flat on bed still smiling like a fool while tears fell from his eyes.

Swara:(looking at his bleeding hand): What madness is this? Is it so easy for you to leave? Why didn't you think about Neil? This is just trailer, your punishment is yet to start you moron.

She said lifting him and making him sit against the pillows properly.

Sanskar: (innocently like child) No it is not easy it's difficulty very difficult especially when you love so much that only death can take that person away from you. Neil he is my life but he is in pain and I can't see him like that. Anna would harm...

How innocent did this man sound. As if his reason to live had been snatched cruelly. Swara took cotton and pressed it to control bleeding but blood was oozing with heavy flow. Sanskar hissed in immense pain while tear droplets trickled on his cheek.

She tightly tied piece of her dupatta to stop his bleeding she wanted to go and open the door so Sanskar can get medical help but as she turned he held her hand and pulled her towards himself. she landed on bed infront of him they had an eye lock. He held her cheeks in his arms hand swara shivered with his touch.

Sanskar: Everyday i see you the same spicy nose, sharp accusing eyes nothing changed in years. Why this tears today you should be happy seeing me. Please stay happy forever and I am in so bad state today see i can feel you.

He smiled and took his hand back but his eyes kept looking into hers.

Swara: Why are you doing this?

Sanskar held ears in one hand like a small child and said sorry. Sorry for hurting you, sorry for hurting avi, i didn't do it but he was hurt because of me. Dost he called me sanskar what i did. Little sunshine i ..... Now he was loosing track of his talks. She saw him loosing concious she patted his cheeks to keep him awake....

Sanskar: Swara promise me you will help me find the culprit. Please i have few days but don't wish to die in this guilt i couldn't punish that bastard..

Swara just thought he is out of his sense but then she kept her hands on his so that he just shuts blabbering abd she could get him some help. That's when she observed his hands were bleeding and he went unconscious.

She hurriedly unlocked the door but was confused whom to inform because may be if she tells they might accuse her. She needed to hurry as time was less he might loose his life.

Swara saw Avni standing and staring someone lost. She just pulled avni inside. Avni got scared and came into sense with sudden pull. She looked in confusion towards the source of pull.

Avni: (it was almost like a silent scream) Shiny

Swara(panicking): shhh slowly.... Sanskar has slit his wrist.

Avni (scared): Again she rushed inside and pressed bell.

Swara: Again means???

Avni: She told her the incidence that happened few days back when guards saved him. You go I don't wish this news of you being with bhai to come out of this room.

Swara thought for a second may be she was right or just as sanskar said Avni just wanted to save reputation of their company afterall.It would effect Garewals they are brand and he the brand ambassador.  Avni would always think about her husband's profit. She glanced at sanskar and hurriedly left the room.

She dashed with a nurse and sat down saying a sorry. That's when she observed Neil was sleeping on the bench with baby resting on him. She raised her head and saq doctor rushing this was alarm. So, she just turned and left the place in hurry.
