‎Love With That Beautiful Face Part2

‎LoveWithThatBeautifulFace

Part2

It was 6:15 AM in the morning. All the family members except Rohini’s parents and his father were gone to the nearby guesthouse. Raghav was still sitting on that bench and was continuously staring at the fan. His mind was not responding to anything. All he just wanted to be with Rohini.

Suddenly his phone rang and he got disturbed from his thoughts. He took out his phone and looked at the screen. It was a call from his secretary, Devika.
“Hello”, he answered.
“Good morning sir.” Devika greeted in a soft voice.
She was a friend of him more than a secretary. He replied, “Good morning, what's the matter?”
“Sir, Mr. Bansal from Pune wants to meet you at 10:00 AM.”
“Cancel all the plans of today and postpone the meetings please.” Raghav said.
“But..”, she wanted to ask but he disconnected the call.

The cleaning staff was running here and there to clean the corridor. One of them asked Raghav to go and sit in other room. Unwillingly, he left and went directly to the cafeteria of the hospital and ordered a coffee. There were only few people present there. All were the employees of the hospital and they were busy in talking with each other. Two nurses were sitting on the adjacent table having their breakfast
the cafeteria owner had switched on the TV and put on a local news channel.
 The headlines were coming about sports, weather and other Bollywood news. Suddenly his eyes stuck on the news, “A female employee became victim of sexual harassment. The boss threw an acid bottle and burnt her face.”  He quickly went to the owner and asked for today's newspaper. The owner handed him the newspaper. Raghav sat on the chair and hurriedly turned the pages. On the third page, in the local news column there was the same news. He got a shock by reading the name of the victim “ROHINI SAXENA”. He sat on the chair holding his head and called the waiter. He paid for the coffee and ran towards the ward.

His heart was beating very fast and he wanted to see his angel who was fighting with death and life in the hospital. He was sweating badly and he almost ran across the corridor. He stopped near the ward but now the ward was empty. No one was present there. He entered in the room. The room contained the smell of blood and medicines. His eyes stuck on the dustbin. It was full with cotton and bandages. He moved towards the bed. He touched the folds and felt the warmness of the body which was lying there few hours ago. His eyes started sobbing, his throat got chocked. He wanted to cry loudly but couldn't. He just sat on the knees; his hands were still touching the bed. He closed his eyes and rested her head on bed.

"Excuse me sir, that patient had left a letter and this ring for you."
 the nurse stood in front of him, holding an envelope and a ring. He got up and took those things in his hands. With shivering hands and having tears in eyes, he opened the letter.
