Alive

Kiara

I was feeling uncomfortable which made me wake up. I woke up with a quite heavy head and I looked around with blurry eyes, which got restored after a while. After I got my eyes back, I found that it was totally unfamiliar to me. The room was painted in the shade of pink and my room doesn't have this shade at all. It had a red shade.

I clutched over my head which was painful and it was making me feel awful. After a while it reduced a bit and soon enough I heard the door being opening and I saw a lady come inside the room, who was totally unfamiliar to me, with a big smile on her face. She handed me a glass of milk which I always used to get as first thing in the morning. She sat beside me and that smile wasn't at all fading.

I looked at the glass of milk with confusion before my eyes landed on her once again.

"How are you feeling?" She asked and I looked at her weirdly. She was talking to me like she knew me for a long time . I wanted to ask her about her identity but before that she interrupted. "Complete the glass of milk and after that you could rest. Thank god that the car didn't hit you hard but the boy with you was injured badly and in hospital." When she ended saying that, I realized what she was talking about. My eyes widened. Veer!!! I quickly drank the milk and put away the glass. I looked at myself and found that I was in the same clothes in which I was in yesterday.

I don't think that I would be having any clothes over here

I freshen up.

"Where is he?"

"You are ready already. You want to meet him so bad, don't you?" She asked more like she teased. I looked at her.

Are we that close that she can tease me like that?

I was already very tense about Veer being in the hospital and now this lady who is becoming overly sweet.

"Can you tell me where I am right now? And who are you? " I asked her and she looked at me confused and then her eyes widened a bit.

"You are at your house darling. I am your mother. Have you forgotten everything?" She asked and my eyes widened.

It is impossible. These three words were the first thing that came to mind. I remember how my mother looks and how my whole family looks but I don't even know her or even have any kind of memory related to her. She could have chosen anything to say, but what she said is totally unexpected.

My mother.

"Are you okay Darling? You are standing like a statue." She said and was about to reach her hand towards me. I took a few steps back and nodded.

At that moment, I was confused with myself only. What should I do? Here I couldn't get my mind straight due to two reasons and one of them was Veer and the other was this lady.

"Don't stress yourself. You see these pictures, maybe they will help you." She pointed towards the self which I didn't notice before. I went towards it and started to go through the self on which the photos were present and I looked through them and found my photos when I was a baby and around two years. I was with her and my father was also there with me then why can't I remember her at all when she is my mother and why can't I really remember any memory related to her.

"Why are you not in my memory?" I mumbled to myself.

"Don't you want to go and meet that boy? Come on, I will take you over there." At that moment, the answer to who she was, was not as important as Veer. I nodded and followed her and we sat inside the car and she drove away. I looked outside and found a totally unfamiliar world. Where am I? I remember that I wasn't in this part at all.

Everything around me was making me question my surrounding? They were literally blasting my mind.

What had happened I can't remember and if Veer is in hospital then why am I at home? Was I not that much hurt that they discharged me? Is he hurt so much? Did he also get fractures?

And I remember what he said before we got hit by the car and he had held me tight like he didn't want to lose me at all. I am really worried about him. My eyes fell on the rear view mirror and found a car coming. I didn't care about that at all as it is nothing that is suspicious.

We reached the hospital and I could see many people and when I was among them, many of them gave me a surprised look or confused and some were even terrified and angry. This was a totally confusing scenario but I didn't pay them any attention.

The lady, who claimed that she is my mother, went to the reception and asked about Veer's room and when she knew she held my hand and took me there and without any words I followed her and we went inside the room and found a man sitting beside Veer. He looked at me and I felt that I had seen him somewhere but where I don't know. He smiled and gave me a knowing smile.

"Prateek you are here, is he your son?" The lady asked.

"Yeah, I am very upset seeing him in this condition. Is this Kiara?" My eyes widened when he said my name and the lady nodded.

"After so many years she is with me and I am glad about that." I looked at her and found a beautiful smile that was playing on her face. She was happy that I was with her but all this is making me feel more confused Because I don't know any one of them except Veer, even if I don't know much about him, but still he is known to me. I slowly went towards Veer and found the bandage on his forehead and a few bruises and the pain which my heart felt was as if those bruises were on my heart. My heart was crying when I saw him like this.

"Hiya, we should go outside." The man said and they both went outside and I quickly went near Veer and held his hand and without me knowing the tears started to come out from my eyes. I was feeling like I was dying inside when his eyes were closed.

Though whatever I am feeling right now is questionable. I met him a few hours ago and now I am feeling that I am so much attached to him but maybe I am feeling grateful or owe him because he saved my life.

"Veer, please open your eyes. I really can't see you in this condition. I can't really take it if something happens to you because of me. I really want you to be beside me. I don't know how and from when but I am feeling attached to you. Please wake up. I want you and I need you." For a moment I felt that these words were foreign to me but soon I didn't care about this at all. My heart was pounding inside me to hear his voice.

I felt a hand on my shoulder which squeezed them a bit.

"Darling, don't worry, he is alright, the doctor said that he needs rest to recover fully. We should leave him and let him take the rest." I heard that lady's voice.

"No, I will not go and I will be with him until he opens his eyes. I will not leave him at any cost."

"I won't force you darling. You could stay over here but please take care of yourself. You are not in good condition as well." I nodded.

"I will take care of myself." I saw a smile on her face when I said those words. I started to remember my mother who must be worried about me. I want to meet her as well but when I look at Veer my heart doesn't allow me to go. After he gets up I will go and meet my mother.

"Hiya someone is coming over here and that isn't giving me a good vibe. We have to hide our kids soon." Prateek uncle said and I looked at him confused.

"What are you talking about Prateek?" The lady named Hiya asked and I also wanted to know what was going on.

"I will tell you everything but right now we have to leave this place as soon as possible before she comes and destroys everything. I know the place where she won't trace our kids." And after that in a snap we were somewhere else and I looked around and found another house.

"But what will happen when the doctor will know that we have taken him away from the hospital? "I looked at them with widened eyes. We are out of the hospital without moving around. How could this be possible?

"I will talk with the doctor. We have to keep our kids safe." He said.

"What are you talking about?" Uncle looked at me.

"Come outside and I will tell you everything." And they both went outside and I was beside Veer. I don't know why everything is so strange around here but I am happy that Veer is alive.
