Comments for chapter20 (Right on track)
Sorry for the delay in commenting .This chase is become so gripping that I chew my nails, while reading the story and you write so beautifully that we can visualize the scene before our eyes.
Just canât imagine Anjali do such acrobatic stunts but you canât blame her too in tense situations one has to act spontaneously which she did. She too is like kushi.
Thank god Riya is safe but Anjali has hurt her herself and become unconscious. Hoping nothing serious
Hope they are all ok nice
Waiting for your update yaar...where are you??..hope all good... come back soon.. missing your writing...
New reader here⌠started watching Ipkknd very recently and am enjoying the amazing writing that the show has inspired. Your writing is exceptional, love the way that you have not just kept the core characteristics, but rather enhanced them for the key players. The suspense is well built and I am eagerly looking forward to the next update. Take care!
Waiting patiently for update đ
From the author's desk: Hi dearies, hope you are all doing well, keeping safe. Thank you for your heart warming comments and patience. The last two months have been sort of tight in my AD, I didnt get time to update this story, but yeah, here I am now with the next update. Hope you will find it intriguing, Do let me know in your comments.
The world is slowly coming back to normal or at least that's what it seems like to be... Hopefully, everyday will become better and better. For some of us, it may be a little harder than others, but hold on to hope and things will get better. Please be assured that you are enough and loved for what you are!
Now, without further ado, Happy reading!

Chapter 21: Whirlwind of emotions
Part 1: At the end of many beginnings
As they rushed through the roads of Delhi towards the hospital, Khushi heard a faint moan from Tara. The girl was in pain but was holding it so well. Her pulse was dropping, and the paramedic was trying his best to keep it stable.
Khushi bent towards the girl. Her eyes were closed. But the face and occasional twitching of her body gave away the girlâs struggle. Khushi tired to smoothen out the scrunched eyebrows for her.
âJijiâ it was a whisper, Khushi would have missed it if she was not staring at Taraâs face at that point.
âTara? We are almost there; We are getting you helpâ
âHmmâŚâ she opened her eyes to look at Khushi. âAm I going to dieâ
âYou are going to make itâ
âI donât want to dieâ
âYou wonât, not yetâ
âI want to live Jijiâ
âYou are so brave Taraâ
She closed her eyes again.
âI feel coldâ her whimper betrayed her pain âvery coldâ
Khushi and the paramedic covered her with another blanket.
âHer pulse is dropping consistently; this is not a good signâ the paramedic whispered as he put a warmer on the girlâs feet and Khushi rubbed Taraâs hand for giving her warmth.
âYou will be alrightâ she said desperately âPlease hold onâ
âIf I donât make itâŚâ
âYou are going to be fineâ Khushi cut her
âJiji, please listenâ
âSave the energy Tara, we will have a lot of time to talk laterâ
âNo, If I donât make it, please tell ACP saab that I am sorry that I couldnât tell him everythingâ
âTara please donâtâŚâ
âBut I have tried to keep my promise to himâ
âOf course, you can keep your promise after you get wellâ
âAsk Tanu for it, Karzaâ
âKarz? What?â
âKarzaâ
âWhat are you saying Tara, what debt?â
âJiji, she knows⌠Tanu knowsâŚâ
âWhat you say doesnât make sense, what are you saying?â
At this point, Khushi was looking at Paramedic whose face confirmed her doubts. The girl was getting delirious in her last moments of her life.
The paramedic made arrangements for the next level of aid for Tara, Khushi was murmuring assurances to Tara.
âPlease hold on Tara, we are getting you helpâ Khushi kept repeating to the girl.
âWill you look after Tanu for me?â
Why did this sound as if this was her last wish?
âGirl, you are going to be alrightâ Khushi pleaded to her
âPromise meâ Taraâs breathing got difficult
âI willâ Khushi said
ââI want her study⌠She dreams to become a teacherâŚâ Tara whispered as the paramedic put Tara on resuscitator for oxygen supply.
But within seconds, Taraâs pulse started to dip to dangerous levels.
Khushi moved aside as the paramedic started next course of action.
âDevimaiyya, please let her not dieâ Khushi repeatedly pleaded to her favorite deity, but Devimaiyya had other plans.
âI am sorryâ the paramedic said as he removed the breathing equipment off the girl.
âNo! no⌠no⌠she didnâtâ Khushi said, even though her practical mind told her otherwise, feeling dejected, she slumped down on the seat of the vehicle as the ambulance turned into the hospital as she broke into sobs. They were little too late, Tara was no more.

âArenât they cute? Oh, I love them all, they are adorableâŚMolly girl, you did wellâ La said as she cuddled with the tired dog who had delivered her litter of puppies.
She looked sideways at the man standing at the door.
âArenât you proud?â
NK nodded at her smiling at her
âDonât you want to feel them?â
NK looked lost as he walked in and then petted his dog
âWhat happened? You look upsetâ
Nk shook his head as if to deny
âI can pick up on your mood like thisâ she said snapping her finger, what happened?â
âNothingâ
âSomething is wrong back home?â
He looked at her sharply before putting his head down.
âIs it about the AGM postponement?â she asked referring to the notification that they had received a couple of days back that their AGM was postponed by 15 days.
NK had been surprised at the notification saying that it had never happened in the history of their company and was worried if it was too much to handle for Arnav. He had even called Arnav to speak to him who had assured that everything was alright.
âIf you brother told you things were alright, you shouldnât be worrying about itâ
âWhy arenât people even bothered to tell me anythingâ
âIs this again about AGM? If so, you are worrying unnecessarily, perhaps he was stressed and missed informing you, give the benefit of doubt to himâ
âItâs not about thatâŚâ NK said frustrated âAGM is not even the least of my worriesâ
âOh, only three days back you are pouting so much for being ignored, not being consulted or informed before-hand and how you came to know only when notification cameâ
âI called Akki this morningâ NK told her abruptly cutting in her conversation
âOh, they are back from their trip?â
He nodded as if to say yes
âHe spilled the beans- as to the real reason why the AGM got postponedâ
La looked at NK expectantly. âAnd that is?â she prompted.
âAnjali- she met with an accident. Head injury and was critical in the hospital. Itâs been three daysâ
âOMG What?â
âYeah!â
âHow is she now?â
âAkki told me that her vitals are stableâ
âThank God. Maybe we can video call and talk to her laterâ
âHmmâŚWhen she gains her consciousnessâ
âWhat do you mean? She has not woken up yet?â
La stared worriedly at her boyfriendâs face
âI understand why you are so upset; I am so sorryâ
âNobody bothered to tell me anything Laâ he muttered âWhy arenât people telling me anything at all⌠First with Dadâs situation- they didnât tell me until he was at his death bed. It was too late that I couldnât even say my last words to him. And now thisâ he paused. âI sometimes thinkâŚâ NK started to say and then paused sighing
âWhat?â
âI donât know, why am I not treated as part of the familyâ
âYou are reading too much into this, they may have kept this from you not to get you worriedâ
âIf so, then why did Akki tell me now?â
âMay be because she is now getting stable?â
âIf something happened to her, I wouldnât be able to forgive myself for not being there, they basically stripped me of my right to be next to my sisterâ
âNK, you are reading too much into this. Come here babyâ La said, getting up and pulling him to her and wrapping her hands around him and patting him on his back
âYou know all the time they keep teasing me about me being adopted? Now I am getting to think if it only a tease or if it is a fact.â He said, hooking his head on her shoulder.
La struggled to control her laughter, NKâs reasoning could be ridiculously pathetic when he is sulking.
âNo, I am sure it is a case of 25-year-old still being treated as baby brotherâ she grinned âand thatâs normal with Indian householdâs I think.â She added doubtfully.
***
âAGM got postponed by two weeks.â Kiran announced to her husband.
âDo you really want to go?â Vishy, her husband asked her.
Kiran nodded
âThere are accounts I need to settleâ
âKiranâ Vishy started to say something and then paused hesitantly
âHmm?â
âDonât you think it is wise to talk to Dhruv?â
She shook her head
âI am scared Vishy, what if he wonât understand? What if he drifts away from me? Worse, what if he starts to hate me?â
âHe wonât, Kiran, he is our son â we may have not birthed him, but he is very much our son â as much as Misha is.â
Kiranâs eyes teared up âBesides he has the right to know, we have kept this away from him for too longâ
Kiran seemed agree, but the fear of non-acceptance was still etched in her face.
âEverything?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âYou know, the other half truthâ she bit her lip. âI am still not sure if we should tell him that as well?â
Vishy seemed to contemplate on it for a few minutes.
âI get where you are coming from⌠But thenâ he paused
âWhat?â Kiran asked her husband.
âHonestly, every time I think about it, it gives me this aura of a dark secret that no one needs to know⌠Like seriously, if all of that is out in the open, who is going to get benefitted anyway? So, if it is not going to help anyone, why reveal it? Besides, I am pretty sure Ajay would have never wanted that secret to be revealed ever â not to Dhruv or anyone else...â
âYou are right, I think so too.â Kiran agreed as she thought about her deceased brother and the promise that they made to each other years ago and she hoped no situation would ever force her to change her resolve of taking that secret to her grave.
***
Anjali pried her eyes open. She felt as if she was floating, as if she did not have her limbs on her. Her body seemed weightless and surrounded by white everywhere.
âOMG, She is awakeâŚâ Someone shouted near her. She tried to place that familiar voice before a face with short bobbed hair came in front of her.
âAnji Baby, welcome back !â Payal hushed in happiness.
To be continued.
