Meeting him
Aarush × Aishwarya. *HIS MAID18+*
AARUSH POV
The dark night with the long road , a little soothing wind started hitting my face from the window ...
Returning home from the hectic work , A home which isn't any home. A mere piece of castle with no emotions , caring.
In the middle of the night , my thoughts retreated to my childhood .
My mom waiting for me to return from school . Oiling my hair in weekends , going to vacations in holidays , everything I missed!!
When I'm in my deep thoughts , suddenly I heard a voice !!
" Help ! Help "- the girl shouted..
My car tires screeched and I halted .
I saw a girl , maybe in her early 20's ..
Running towards me in white anarkali.
Her half sleeve is torn and the kajal smudged around her eyes .
Someother men may be rowdies are chasing her and she approached me for help...
In the next second, I informed the control room to send vigilance officers to my location .
I didn't step out of the car.. she came to me asking for help with her hands joined...
"S sir Sir. Please help me . They are coming , please!"- she stammered.
In the next second I stepped out of car .
There 5-6 rowdies coming towards us and I took my gun.
Even they have knifes and gun! And I started firing them..
2 head shots , I finished them and 1 scroundel ran into the woods .
Still 2 more bastards . someone suddenly hit my head from back with iron rod on my head.. in the next minute two bullets fired into my abdomen and one in my shoulder.
I heard that girl screaming , and the last bullet I fired was in the air.. I fell on ground with blood oozing out of my head..
She came to me , covering my head and shoulder with her palms..
Still i'm in conscious, I saw them approaching us and they fisted her hair , and she screamed with pain !
They dragged her and her gaze tied to me.. Her eyes pierced me. Pleading me to save her from those monsters.
With each ounce of energy left in me , I took my 357 Magnum , which I kept in my back and fired it ..
2 headshots done.. my target never misses . I laid on the road and that girl came to me running ! With my head in her lap , her tears rolling down like pearls on cheeks ..
everything blurred .
Aishwarya POV
There came my saviour.. I sat down there , in the middle of the road with his head in my lap and blood is oozing out from his abdomen and head.
Taking my scarf , i tightly wrapped around his abdomen and searched his phone for contacting others..
Nothing worked out.. cardoors are locked and I don't even know how to open it.
Bad thoughts hovered my mind , and my aunt words echoed in my head..
"I'm unlucky . I'm unworthy , A bad omen " .!
The next moment I heard the siren of the police Jeep and thanked God for sending them to save us .
2-3 Men came to us , and held him in backseat of Jeep and I sat with him .
"Sir , please take us to nearby hospital . He had gunshots "- I pleaded them with my uncontrollable tears.
"Don't worry ! ACP sir informed us about this .. we will make it ASAP" - one of the police said.
Then I came to know that , the man who saved me is ACP ...
I glanced at his face for saving me from those monsters and I prayed god to save his life..
I can't even imagine , if anything happens to anyone because of me..
I can't bear that guilt .. I'm having enough guilt in my life ..
We rushed to the hospital and there doctors shifted him to operation theatre.. I sat down there outside of OT.
Then I came into my senses when others gawked at me . My hair dishelved , my sleeve torn out . I tried to cover it.
Nurse came out with his belongings and asked me to hold them.
His white shirt and grey pants covered with blood , his watch , belt and purse .
One of the police officer came to me and asked for ACP sir's mobilephone..
"I don't have his mobile sir.. it's stuck in the car "- I said in a low voice.
"Okay ! I'll inform about this to sir's family members. "- officer said and I nodded .
2 hours the Operation went and I prayed god for his wellbeing .. And prayed lord Venkateshwara, if everything goes well , I'll visit tirumala and pay my offerings .
Why everyone who tries to save me , ends up in this situation... First I lost my parents , then my grandfather.. And now --- NO ! I can't take another life !
The police officer came to me and interrogated me and took my signatures .. they arranged 2 constables for our safety .
With heavy heart , I waited outside OT and doctor came after 3 hours. Another police officer came to me introducing himself as Varun .
We stood up on doctor's arrival
"We took out the bullets from his shoulder and abdomen ,. he's out of danger . 1 week observation is necessary " - doctor said to us and Varun sir indulged in talking something to doctor..
Nurse came out with medical file and asked me to bring medicines.. I took the medicine file and walked towards medical store !
"The medicine bill is 28,000/- mam "- pharmasist said..
My hands shivered , as I don't have any money with me . But guilt engulfed me , as I'm the reason for his suffering.. this is atleast I can do.
I unhooked my chain from my nape- which is the last memory of my mother.
Tears pooled out of my eyesacks ..
"Can you keep this chain? It's a gold one.. you can return me once I pay the bill.. " - I said and pharmasist checked it and agreed ..
I have nothing in this world ..literally nothing to claim it as mine..
I went to nurse and gave her medicines..
"The patient is shifted from OT to ICU.. wait outsude the ICU . If anything emergency I'll inform you " - nurse said and gone.
I peeped through the door .. Some pipes and machines are attached to his body .
Laying unconsciously.. with a bandage on his forehead and abdomen.
The night is really long for me and my eyes deceived me .. They took rest , but my thoughts still hovered in my mind - making me restless even in my sleep..
I drew into sleep outside ICU with his holdings in my lap..
Someone shook my arm , and called out.. then i realised it's morning.. sunrays are piercing through window.
Varun sir called me again and I came out of my trance.
"Hm. Goodmorning ! Aishwarya "- Varun sir said and I wished him back
"I got to know about you from the investigating file ... Did you stay here the whole night ?" - he asked.
"Yes sir."- i said.
"You can go to your home and get fresh up . We will take care of ACP sir"- he said.
(How to tell that I don't have any house to go!! I don't have anyone to go ... Maybe after thanking ACP sir and checking whether he's fine or not , I'll go to my parents ... I don't have anything leftover to live ..)- I thought.
"It's ok sir. I'll once check on ACP sir health and I'll thank him for saving me .. then I'll leave "- I said and he nodded.
"I've already informed ACP sir's family about this attack last night .. they said they are on the way . We might expect them at any moment " - Varun sir said and I nodded..
"Come let's have breakfast and then we will meet ACP sir "- Varun sir said .
"No sir.. I'm not hungry . I'm not having an appetite ..please you caryon "- I said.
He insisted for 3-4 times and i gaveup to have cup of coffee .
After finishing my coffee , we returned to ICU corridor and there I saw a man and women in their late 60's discussing..
"See! I can't take care of your son . Enough is enough..I'm done with it .
It's not my responsibility, if your child gets injured and I'm not any maid to you or your son "- the old woman snapped..
"Please listen to me.We will take him to our home. He just has 3 bullets operated .. he needs someone to take care " That old man tried to convince his wife and failed In it..
" The government already gave him some workers to work for him.. let them do their duty.. or else search for a maid "- she snapped back.
"He needs his family .. we are his family . Please "- That Oldman most probably ACP sir's father , pleaded to his wife..
"Find a maid "- she snapped and gone away..
I listened to the conversation , and I saw varunsir beside me listening their words..
He huffed a little with his fingers rubbing his forehead in annoying and walked towards corridor .
"Varun!! How did all this happen ?" - ACP sir's father asked Varun .
"It happened in duty uncle..don't worry ... We are here to take care of him .. I'll arrange something! "- Varun sir said..
They went to see ACP sir who is conscious now..
I followed them and saw him with his eyes just opened. His father with tears struck in his eyes.. No words left his mouth..No conversation between them.
I just stood near door at corner of the room..
After a good 5 min of silence , ACP sir's father saw me and went out .
Then Varun sir sat on the couch .
" Why are you standing there ? Come and take your seat ,"- Varun sir said to me .
I slowly walked towards the ICU bed and stood there beside the bed..
I lifted my head to see him.. but my eyes deceived me .due to guilt I'm not able to see into his eyes..
my eyes travelled to the bandages in his abdomen , shoulder and forehead..
Tears threatened me to flow free and I controlled them.. i sniffed
"Sorry sir.. this is all because of me.. "- I said.
He just nodded and I said thanks for saving me .. I kept all his belongings in rack beside couch.
"I'll wait outside " - I said and went out .
