The Kite

Rajveer's pov

I reached my mansion. It's already night. I straightly walked inside my bedroom. I removed my shirt. Suddenly I heard a sound and find Myra standing at my door.

I immediately took my shirt back and started to wear it. Myra walked near me and suppressed her smile.

"Stop this..you are behaving like a woman....let me watch your abs..."

She touched my stomach.

I felt a bit uncomfortable. I have some ethics i won't lie about this.

I held Myra's hand.

"I'm very tired Myra...I will talk after the shower"

I walked inside the shower. I stood under the cold shower. I leaned on the wall.

Today I also felt the same feeling. It felt like I want to hold something. Someone was there on Pratap's mehendi. I felt that presence very well. I have gone total restless that moment. I'm yearning for something. I can't ignore this anymore. I don't know how this restlessness will go.

What is going around me? Am i turning mad?

I wrapped a towel around my torso and came out. Myra is still in my room.

I won't lie but I'm getting a bit irritated. Why I don't know! Why I'm pushing her away from me? Something is stopping me for sure. I'm trying hard to search that love inside me for Myra but my inside is hollow. Only the same yearning is going on but it's not for Myra.

"Veer...why are you looking disturbed?"

Myra placed her hand on my back. I took out my tee shirt from my cupboard and wear it.

"Let's have dinner....I have cooked special dishes for you"

We both walked to the dining place.

"Where is Tuhin di and Baivab bhai?"

I asked Myra.

"They are sleeping.."

Our talk is over. How this distance came between us? Previously i remember how we used to talk all the time. But these days I didn't find anything to talk to her.

I know I'm hurting her but I'm not doing this deliberately.

I retreated on my bedroom after the dinner. I closed the door and fell on the bed. I felt so lonely sometimes. I missed my parents. I got up and walked towards the wall where my parents photo is hanging. My shadow fell on their photos.

Why they had to leave so early?

I wish they were here with me. They can tell me the truth. I'm loosing my trust on everyone. Infact these days I'm having doubt on Tuhin di too. My instincts are telling me that something horrible had happened when I was suffering from amnesia.

I wiped my single drop of tears. I clenched my jaw.

That Pihu!

I have to find this girl in anyway. She is responsible for everything.

........................

Next day I came downstairs after freshening up. I got shocked when I find Panditji sitting in our leaving room.

"Look .. Rajveer has came..."

Tuhin di said.

I got seated with them and looked at Panditji in confusion.

"Veer, we called Panditji to decide the marriage day..."

I looked at Tuhin di in shock.

"We thought now we should start the marriage preperations..."

Tuhin di held Myra and she blushed.

I didn't say anything. I suppressed the extreme irritation inside me. I'm not a rude kind of person and I don't like to be rude with anyone.

"Panditji you can go..."

I said very calmly. Panditji first looked at Tuhin di and then very timidly left.

"What happened Veer? Why did you tell him to leave?"

"Because I don't want to get married"

I stated. Myra looked at me in pain.

"You have stopped loving me Veer...fine..Tuhin di, find another girl for Veer...He doens't love me anymore..."

Myra left the hall while wiping her tears.

"Why are you hurting her Veer? Have you lost your mind? You have no idea how she fought for you everyday...she took care of you for all those months when you were not in your senses...how can you be so heartless?"

Tuhin di walked behind Myra.

I released a deep breath. Suddenly my phone vibrated. I picked up the call immediately.

"Sir...we spotted Pihu Pandit...our men spotted her in Mumbai...she is in the hospital"

My eyes got widened. She is hiding in Mumbai! I immediately ran out. I told my men to not let her leave the hospital or follow her wherever she will go. I took flight and reached on Mumbai within few hours. My men told me that she is still inside the hospital.

I hope today I will get my memory back. At least I can remember few parts of my memory. One thing is sure that whatever happened with me, this girl is related with everything.

I entered the hospital in hurry. My men pointed me in the cancer unit.

I ran there and then I saw Rohini. I got shocked extremely.

"Rohini...."

I called her name. She immediately turned her face towards me. I saw tears. She is crying profusely.

"What happened? Who got cancer?"

I asked her in tension. She is sobbing so much.

"Ku...Kukku....has..."

My heart dropped in my stomach after getting this news. I tried to hold her but immediately Pratap came from somewhere and pushed me.

"Don't touch my sister...stay away from my family"

I suppressed my anger. It's not a right time to react. They are facing a hard time. So I moved back.

I was about to leave but someone got collided with my frame. It was so sudden that i lost my balance and the girl got plastered in my body. My hand automatically placed on her back to held her.

As soon as I touched her, my head felt dizzy. I felt every inch of my skin is getting goosebumps. I can't describe this feeling but it felt through my whole body. it's like a storm that crossed me within few seconds.

I immediately held her arms and pulled her away just to see her face but within a second Pratap came in between us and blocked her absolutely.

"What the hell are you doing? Don't you understand...just leave..."

That was the limit of my patience.

I held Pratap's collar and pushed him away but the girl immediately turned her face away.

This made me extremely irritated. Why she is hiding from me? I looked at my men and they nodded their heads.

My eyes got widened.

This is Pihu!

This is the main culprit. That's why she is hiding like that.

"Prachi, go inside..."

Partap told that girl.

Prachi? She is faking her name too. What a cunning girl!

I stood with a storm inside me. I felt like to pick her right now and capture her. She has destroyed my mental peace totally. Only she can give the answers to my query.

I found her walking away with Pratap. She is literally trembling.

This means she has seen me and now she is getting scared with my presence.

You can't escape like this.

I wore my sunglass and walked out.

I will plan everything now. How long will she hide from me?

.....................

I rented a place in Mumbai. I started to live here. I told my man to find out every details about Kukku's disease. Kukku has leukemia. I felt extremely bad for her.

I decided to meet her in the hospital. So two days later I went on the hospital. I went inside Kukku's room and find Rohini. She also saw me and immediately stood up.

I took my position infront of Kukku. My heart ached after seeing her. She also belong to my family.

"King..."

She smiled innocently. I pat her head.

"Yes and you are a princess..."

I said while kissing her head.

"I want to see your mansion..."

I smiled and then I looked at Rohini. She is looking so sad. She has already developed dark circle around her eyes. She wiped her tears.

"It's very costly Rajveer....we can't afford her bills.."

She cried silently.

"Rohini, I'm your brother too....I know our families were not in good terms but I can't deny the fact that we are cousins...let me take care of this...I will arrange the best doctors for Kukku...she will be healed soon"

"Pratap will never agree for this...."

Rohini cried.

"Kukku is your daughter, so you will make the decision what is good for her..."

I said.

"I will think about this....and thanks Rajveer"

"It's okay Rohini..."

I came out of the hospital. I forget to ask her about that Pihu. I will ask this later.

I came on the road. My men opened the car door for me but i decided to take a walk.

I walked through the roads of Mumbai. This city is crazy but I'm liking this. It's actually opposite of Kashi.

I chuckled after seeing few boys running after a kite. I saw the kite. I can grab it easily. I walked to held the kite for them.

Suddenly I find a girl coming out of an auto and running after the kite. She is too short to grab the kite. I chuckled after seeing her attempt.

I walked towards her. The kite is now hanging from a tree. She is literally jumping to grab the kite. I raised my hand and held the kite easily. The girl got startled and then she turned her head towards me.

The kite was between us blocking my view.

"Give it to me..."

She said.

"Now this is mine"

I don't know why I said that. A boy grabbed the kite from my hand and then my view got cleared.

I saw her face.

She looked at me in extreme shock. She literally gasped after seeing me.

So many images flashed infront of my eyes. I felt a sharp pain inside my head and chest. A tightening of my ch

est appeared. I felt difficulty in breathing. A sharp pain covered my head.

"Rajababu....."

She held me by my stomach and supported my body from falling.

But i can't remember much. Darkness appeared infront of my eyes.
