Guys thanks a lot for encouraging me. Here is the second part. Enjoy....
"It is done ma'am. I have destroyed the recorder."
"And Sonakshi?"
"In a place from where she can never return."
Nishi cut the call, a satisfied smile dangling at the corner of her horribly red lips. Ha! What now, Parvati madam? You wanted to expose me right? Now noone can stop me...the only piece of evidence against me is destroyed. Thank you very much. My next target....Rohit Sippy. Oh my poor boy, if only you could know that you'll be dead within a few hours. Well...jolly me! I will help both the star crossed lovers to be just that...not even apart in death.
Nishi Sippy's internal musings broke with a thud. She turned back. "Doctor Rohit!!!" Tulsi had screamed which made the assembled Sippy family turn. They were too shocked at first to react. YK was the first one to recover and he ran towards his unconscious nephew lying sprawled on the cold marble floor. "Rohit!!! What happened!!? Help! Someone....". He was followed instantly by Aakash and Ajit who surrounded Rohit flopping on the floor hastily. "Someone please get water!" A cry was heard but was left unrecognizable in the ensuing hue and cry. Dr. Bhargav who was one of the assistant surgeons quickly checked his pulse as YK managed to half lift Rohit in his arms.
"Goodness me! His pulse is rapidly dropping. In this rate, it might leas to a myocardial infarction!"
" Oh then do something Doctor instead of muttering medical gibberish. Please!" Ajit yelled unable to mask his panic. Dr. Bhargav gave an injection which made his body spasm involuntarily. By then Deepa had seen the news on the TV which might have lead to Rohit's current predicament. And she quickly educated the rest on that. Then he opened his eyes slowly looking blankly towards the ceiling. And when the reality hit him it felt like a barreling lorry smashing against his gut knocking his breath out. "Sona...no no nnnno. It can't be.." he got up pushing the soft protesting arms and looked wildly at YK. "She can't do this to me YK. She promised me! She promised...she will never leave me! Never! Then how.....why. My Sona can't die YK. She can't...She.." YK hugged him tight letting him sob in his shoulder. "Hush Rohit! I know its difficult. But please brace yourself. You can't break like this. Hush..." Rohit felt like someone had poured a gallon full of acid over him. He was shaking uncontrollably.
Nishi silently rejoicing at the sight in her mind decided to add a spark to the fire. "I know you are devastated Rohit but think practically. Good riddance! What has Sonakshi given you except pain and humiliation---"
YK was about to snap at her but Ajit intervened. "No! NO! NO! Bhabhi couldn't ever have hurt you bhai. She didn't do anything. It was me! I did it..." he cried out guiltily. Rohit gave him a questioning look, "What do you mean? What did you do?" And Ajit told him. Everything. The truth. Everyone stood dumbfounded but Rohit! If there was any remaining piece of his heart intact broke into smithereens. And everyone heard it. He wanted to hit Ajit. No he wanted to hit himself. How could he have been so stupid. And in that same guilt or maybe to gather some hope of retribution Aakash also accepted the truth. YK wanted to hit his head against the wall. How could everyone be so blind! Poor Sonakshi! She destroyed herself trying to protect them. Suddenly Rohit was tired. Too tired to even let the cry come out of his throat which has been stuck there for sometime now crushing his windpipe. He wanted to sleep. A long deep sleep from which hopefully noone arises him. The idea of an oblivion was painfully appealing. Then it happened.
"Police!!! Again!" Sure they saw the police walk towards them. Suddenly the pearl necklace around Nishi's neck felt too tight. "What happened inspector?" YK asked being the only person who had the will left to speak. "We have come to arrest Nishi Sippy!" Everyone lept to their feet horrified. Nishi gave a pitiful squeel. "We have proof that she attempted to murder Dr. Naren Sippy." Saying so they showed them the video recording. Everyone looked shocked beyond reason as Nishi pushed Naren off the balcony in the inspector's mobile. Then Rohit doesn't remember much. Nishi might have protested strongly. Kicking and screaming while they forcefully dragged her out. YK might have said something. Everything was one royal big commotion. Veena had covered her face with her hands shaking in utter mortification. "Oh what have I done! What have I done? Forgive me Sonakshi...". Noone came to console her.
Rohit felt his cheeks sear with the fresh set of tears rolling down over them. His chest was paining like someone had plunged an imaginary daggard in his heart was twisting it continuously. Maybe this was his punishment. His final reckoning. To live without his Sona, his love, his life dragging this miserable existence for the rest of his life. " I didn't deserve her." He told no one in particular. But someone sure answered him.
"Oh yes! Dr. Sippy! You sure bloody well didn't deserve her!!!!"
The furious voice of Pulkit Rastogi rang in the corridor breaking the palpable silence like a venomous sword.
Sorry guys! Maybe I'll have to write another part. This was getting too long. Please comment and so long....
