From Hell To Heaven novel Chapter 42

Dharani POV

*************

'Angel ! Angel please save me!' I heard Akash calling me in fire and my whole body was shaking.

God! Please save my Akash !

"Damn it Dharani. Wake up!" I heard bhai voice said sharply and shook my shoulders.

Suddenly I opened my eyes. I gasped and shivered in panic. I sat down immediately, fear knotted inside me. I was feeling so lost and disoriented. Ritika and brother sat in front of me.

"What happened? Where is my Akash? please take me to my Akash, please" I said while crying vigorously.

"Dharani first you relax and take a deep breath" Ritika said trying to console me.

"No Ritika. How can I relax when my Akash is not with me? Brother please take me to the accident spot right now", I ordered him sternly

"Dharani please try to understand. Today early morning, I went to the accident spot with the rescue team and police. We can't find him. We even checked the waterfalls but we only can find some of his car parts. There was no one under water. We checked the mountain and road area thinking he must have survived it and made it out in the road but we have no clue. We can't even find his body because of car blast" Avinash brother said.

"What do you mean by you couldn't find him or his body?" I asked. My tears fell one after the other. I couldn't cope up with what I was hearing.

Suddenly Avinash brother phone starting ringing.

"What?? Please stop the telecast. Don't create unnecessary news. Because of your news Akash's father got heart attack" brother shouted angrily and hung up the phone.

What??? Dad got heart attack?

God! Why are you punishing us?

"Brother, what happened to dad?" I asked him.

"Nothing to worry Dharani. Just a minor heart attack because of accident news. Now uncle is fine and your Shanthi maa is taking care of him ",He said to me.

"Brother who called you now?" I asked him.

"Inspector informed me that there is some news on Tv about Akash accident" Brother said nervously.

"I quickly switched on the television to only gasp in shock.

News was flashing on each and every channel and the news channels were filled with images of Akash written ' Mr.Akash Mehra Died in Accident.'

I just kept watching the tv without saying anything. I stared at the tv but Ritika switched it off and hugged me.

"Ritika" I said choking back to cry. I was trembling as the news and Akash accident images built in my mind. Then I threw my arms around Ritika and cried.

"Don't worry Dharani, everything will be alright" Ritika said and she gave me a glass of water. Ritika's phone rang and I looked at her while she talked.

"No I can't come now please try to understand my situation, my friend needs me now" she said and hung up the phone.

"Ritika what happened?" I asked her and she told me that she has an important meeting now. I told her go to office.

"Ritika I'm fine because I know my heart says Akash is alive. My husband is a strong man. He can't live without his angel. He is okay wherever he is. I just know it." I said to her and Ritika finally agreed and went to her office .

"Can you help me? Please take me to hospital. I want to see Akash dad" I asked brother.

"No Dharani, you are very weak. I can't take you there. You need to take complete rest now but if you want, I can go and check on uncle" brother said to me and I nodded 'ok'. Then, he went to Hospital.

I slowly stood up from my bed and went to my house temple. I stood infront of god idol and lit the diya in temple and prayed.

'Please god, I am asking you to protect my husband. I believe you. Please return my husband to me. I can't live without him anymore. I will be patient and wait for my husband. Now it's your responsibility to help my husband reach me. It's your job now. I leave it in your hands, god.'

"Dear god, please help me to see my husband" I prayed.

After praying I opened my eyes and sat on floor while looking at god idol. Suddenly a red flower fell on my lap.

I understood god's answer me indirectly.

'MY HUSBAND IS SAFE!'

I smiled at my god idol and closed my eyes and slept.

Someone shook me,"Dharani wake up." I opened my eyes to see Ritika sitting beside me on floor.

"Dharani, you look awful. Did you eat anything? I was worried about you. So I completed my work soon and came to see you." Hearing this I couldn't keep up. I broke out crying.

"I miss him Ritika. I want to have strength. I trust my god but I want to see him, hear that he is alright..." I cried.

"Shhh! You trust your god? Then he will find your husband. You didn't eat since morning. Now its time 7:30 p.m. Come I will make dinner for you" Ritika told.

I am very lucky to have Ritika as my friend.

Then Ritika prepared dinner and bhai also arrived. He informed me that dad is fine now and Shanthi maa is taking good care of dad. Then bhai told me that tomorrow police wants to investigate me regarding the accident. We ate our dinner. Avinash brother is staying here with me but Ritika told me she has to go to her home. I was on my bed lying sleepless. I prayed to kanha ji 'please return my husband to me soon.'

Then I took Akash's photo from the night stand and kissed his image.
