The Accident

Vidhi took a deep breath, sat on the driver's seat, and strapped on her seatbelt. Looking at Misha, she spoke softly.

[- Vidhi softly]

"Until when will you keep hurting yourself for that matter? Why don't you forget that matter?"

[- Misha with a painful smile]

"I wish forgetting past mistakes was this easy."

[- Vidhi]

"But you know very well that this is not possible. Then why do you keep telling me to forget that accident which I can never forget?"

Saying this, Misha started looking outside the window. Vidhi, seeing her hopelessness, closed her eyes in despair. When she opened her eyes again, tears and pain were clearly visible in them. She started the car. Soon, their yellow sports car was gliding through the wind on the road. They reached the Delhi University entrance and stopped in a large parking area.

Vidhi and Misha got out of the car with their bags. Vidhi locked the car, and they both made their way through the college campus towards their classroom. But just then, they heard a very attractive guy's voice calling from behind them.

[The guy flirting]

"Beautiful girls, what's up?"

Misha, without turning back, whispered into Vidhi's ear, smiling.

[Misha whispering]

"Your Romeo has arrived."

[Vidhi glaring]

"Stop this nonsense, or I'll break your teeth, Misha."

Hearing viddi threat, she rolled her eyes, and they both turned back. They saw the guy walking towards them, smiling. Seeing this, Misha's face turned crooked. She looked at him and spoke softly to Vidhi.

[Misha teasing]

"Shut up, or he'll think we're promoting some drugstore!"

Hearing his words, Vidhi's laughter burst out. Seeing Vidhi laughing, he also started laughing. Seeing them both talking and laughing, the guy came to them and asked.

[The guy]

"What's the matter, girls? You both are laughing at something. Did you hear some funny joke? Tell me too; I want to hear it too."

[ Misha sarcastically]

"Oh! Then let's tell Nawab Sahab what joke we were laughing at too!"

Vidhi gave her a look, but Misha looked away with a crooked face. Vidhi looked at the guy standing in front of her, forced a smile on her face, and said.

[Vidhi lying]

"Oh, nothing, man! We were just talking..."

[ Vidhi teasing]

"Anyway Sahil, your class was early today, right? Then why are you still here? What's the matter? Did your eyes open late today, making you late for college?"

Before Vidhi could say anything further to Sahil, Misha taunted him.

[ Misha taunting]

"When Nawab Sahab parties all night with his friends, where does he get the energy to wake up early in the morning?"

Hearing Misha's taunt, Sahil got annoyed at her.

[ Sahil annoyed]

"What's your problem? Whenever you see me, you just keep hanging around! You don't live like normal girls, and you don't live your life openly. If someone else is happy in their life, you want to ruin their enjoyment."

Hearing Sahil's words, Misha's blood boiled, and she almost jumped on him.

[ Misha about to attack]

"What's the problem? Stop, I'll tell you! Before Vidhi could even touch you, I would have grabbed you from behind."

[Sahil frightened]

"It's better to run away and save my life than..."

He thought running was the best idea, and he vanished from there like a gust of wind.

[Vidhi calming her]

"Hey, calm down, my mother! Everyone is looking at us!"

Vidhi grabbed him from behind and said, looking around. When Misha heard Vidhi's words, she stopped trying to free herself from Vidhi's grip and looked around. She saw the students standing there as if they were filming a teen movie. Seeing this, Misha freed herself from Vidhi's grip and yelled at everyone.

[ Misha yelling at students]

"What? Is the temple overflowing here? Have you all gathered here to see the holy place? Get out of here right now!"

Hearing Misha's scolding, the students scattered and quickly went to their respective classes. Misha calmed down a bit somewhere. Vidhi made her drink some water, and then both of them went to their class.

After class ended, both of them were heading towards the canteen when suddenly Misha's phone rang. When Misha answered the call, something happened that made her lose her senses. Shocked, she said, "What!" and her phone slipped from her hand and fell on the floor.

Hearing Misha's loud scream, Vidhi, who had walked a little ahead while scrolling on her phone, quickly turned back. She saw Misha standing frozen in her spot. She immediately went to her, placed a hand on her shoulder, and asked worriedly.

[ Vidhi worried]

"Misha, what happened? Why did you scream?"

[Vidhi pressing]

"Misha, I am asking you, what happened?"

Despite Vidhi asking repeatedly, Misha didn't react at all. Her eyes welled up. She was standing there frozen like ice. Seeing her like this, Vidhi's heart sank. She held Misha's face in her hands, looked into her eyes, and said in a trembling voice.

[Vidhi scared]

"Misha, Misha, what happened to you? Please, please say something. Look at me, I am very scared. My heart is sinking. Please say something. Misha, Misha, Misha, you are not listening to me, are you?"

[ Vidhi shaking her]

"I am asking you something!"

This time Vidhi raised her voice and grabbed Misha's shoulders, shaking her. Vidhi asked Misha lovingly, but it only made Misha cry harder. Misha called out in a broken voice, and then suddenly she came back to her senses. She remembered who had just called her and what was said on the call. As soon as she remembered, tears welled up in her eyes, and they started streaming down her cheeks. She looked at Vidhi standing in front of her with tears in her eyes, who was also standing there with teary eyes, confused and scared.

[Misha sobbing]

"Vidhi... Dad!"

She could only speak two words, but those two words alone made Vidhi sense that something terrible had happened. Vidhi's fear and panic increased even more. She quickly pulled Misha away from herself, grabbed her shoulders, and asked in a trembling voice.

[Vidhi worried]

"Dad, Dad, what happened to Misha? Dad?"

Even after being asked, no word came out of Misha's mouth. So Vidhi wasted no time. She grabbed Misha's hand and rushed towards the parking lot. As soon as they reached, she carefully sat Misha on the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and immediately sat in the driver's seat to start the car. She stopped the car at the entrance of Delhi City Hospital.
