When I opened my eyes , I was lying on a hospital bed and looking around I could see a blurred vision of kriti talking with someone, I couldn't see who it was, but based on body structure it was clear that she was a girl, I didn't know who she was or to be honest I didn't care.
I was accustomed to this pain and pain killers in my previous life, but that didn't mean I could leave this place after all which 'normal human being' would just walkaway after getting Shot, specially trained people are an exception but my body wasn't trained to sustainsuch injuries this is another flaw of mine which I was going get rid off in future.
I moved my lips to call kriti, but before I could open my mouth I heard some footsteps approaching me.
I tried to open my open eyes, but it could be because of anesthesia or some other drug my vision was still blurry.(Seriously, I was cursing myself now, why didn't I train my body further) All I could see was a pair of eyes looking at me with interest and not wanting to interact with her, I asked her in a slurry tone "Could... you kal.. Kriti here... "
"Hello Mr. Oberoi I thought you wouldn't wake up, not in a wrong way I mean to say not now atleast, and doctors also said that it would take atleast 5 hours for you to open your eyes but to everyone's surprise you woke up within 2 hours it's quite amazing".
An enthusiastic voice reached my ears honestly speaking I think this person is out of mind I mean listen to her voice, what does she think this place is? Or who is she talking to? .For god sake this is a hospital and I am a patient receiving treatment but her voice makes it sounds like we are meeting in some amusement park.
Gradually I retained some clarity and so did my vision, seeing her clearly I felt my eyes radiating a cold light, but I somehow regained my composure and said
"Miss neither do I know who you are, nor do I intend to talk to you, so please call kriti and if you don't know who she is atleast don't disturb me".
Smiling at my words she said"Oh my you really are something Mr. Oberoi, looking at your attitude it's hard to believe that you are 'just a 16 year old teenager' but you actually behave like some mature adult"
She pressed the word 'just 16 year old' as if to show that I was nothing but a junior and why is everyone stuck with my age and if she knew what I did today she would be the one learning a good lesson (don't judge a book by it's cover).
Calming myself, not wanting to give her any idea of my thoughts I said "Miss please behave I am a patient and I don't think you have any business with me, so before I file a complaint under the grounds of harassment leave"
Giving a sly smile she said "Mr. Oberoi you do have some legal knowledge I'm impressed, but to file a complaint you need assistance from police but where will you find a police officer in hospital hmm..., Oh yes now I remember I can actually help you here, this is my ID you can contact me in case of any risk or crime, but before that you have to answer some of my questions related to the series of events that led to your hospitalization and the death of Siddharth Sarkar and one more thing I apologise for delay in introductions, This is 'Witira' Witira Evans and I will be handling your case."
