Chapter 8 - One Email

He pushed me and went far away after hearing his name from my lips,

"Aaarruussh!! Aarush, tell meeh naah, do youh lov meeh?"

He knew that in the college time, Rooh was well known for hanging out with boys and staying the nights with them, after that one incident, all people in college hate that girl, instead of three friends around her, they are Suchi, Reyan and Trishla, but it was only Aarush who loved her before and after that incident. Also, he dreamed only to love but not to be with that girl, his thoughts refreshing the old memories about how students trolled her and bullied her every day.

When he paused his thoughts, found that, I'm sleeping, so he adjust my body to sleep straight and covered with the blanket. He went to sleep in his bed, taking his small bag contain all his important stuffs from the side table of my bed. Then, his eye catches the piece of paper in his wallet, which says, "Aarush, Take care of Rooh - Dr. Avantika Shikhawat."

He got the mail from Dr. Avantika, who forwarded the health report copy of her husband, Commando Randhir Shikhawat, which says that, positive results of having some newly born of tumor in his brain. Bellow the report she wrote a message that,

"21 years ago, my husband, Mr. Randhir Shikhawat and I were blessed with a girl child, we named her as Rooh, because in Urdu, 'Rooh' means 'a soul', but she was having some mental disorders since her birth, which will never let her remember the things or person's face for more than 2-3 years of her past, maximum 4 years of something could pressurize her brain nerves to remember those important relations with something different incident happened in between those years. One day, we decided that, we should write her story in one diary so that when she grows up she continues to do that, just to remember the person or incident from her past life.

But, when she was 5 years old, we went to the beautiful water park nearby where she was lost our fingers and walked to the wrong way just in front of our eyesight, because of that crowd which gathered to watch the severe car accident nearby on that time. We tried a lot to find her but, we failed. Complained in the police station, pamphlets of missing girl, and what not, but today, after 18-19 years, we found her.

Rooh was my patient of mental disorders since 8 years; we generally have to check her blood for any symptom updates. But, I never thought that she's the same Rooh, my Rooh, our Rooh, who was lost in past years. You might be thinking, how I'm sure that this Rooh with you is our lost child!!

Three days ago, we found that her DNA samples got matched with my husband while detecting my husband's newly born tumor, which will be in ongoing treatment after his secret mission. Rooh really loves to travel the world. I'm in a relief, after knowing that you're with her. So, I really want you to take care of her.

- Dr. Avantika"

Dr. Avantika and Dr. Joy were the doctors who treated Aarush's mother who suffered from blood cancer. They were the second God for him after they successfully saved his mother's life. Also, Sharon and Aarush usually visit hospital for regular reports of his mother, and where they saw Rooh sitting in front of Dr. Avantika. Also, I have heard on that day, Dr. Avantika was telling her 'bout, her heart's weakness, which beats in random speed as per any sudden emotions or feelings she tries to get, that's why she want him to take a good care before coming back to her place.

He slightly moved the curtains to check whether she's still sleeping or not, and his eyes couldn't stop to see her again and again, his heart says,

"She's looking pretty when she's not speaking!!"

He went to sleep with the thoughts about how to make her smile often.

(Next Morning)

While his eyes half opened, he could see me scribbling something in my diary. He guessed, it might be about the last night, and with full of laziness, he said, "Good morning, Rooh!!"

I suddenly closed and locked my diary and kept beside me, and try to hide it from him and said,

"Morning Akhil, You woke up!!"
