Love that heals
Chapter 8 A Turn in her Life

Rudrani PoV:

I entered my house and got the shock of my life. I just don't understand what the hell is happening with my life. My professor and his family were waiting there for me.

"Beti, I thought you are unlucky, but you are a very lucky girl. " dad said to me. "What? what are you talking about Dad?"

"Your professor is here with a marriage proposal. They told that they don't even need any dowry and in return they will give five lakhs to me. They agreed to bear the expenses of your education too. He loves you so much and his wife is also okay with this marriage" dad said.

"Dad, I don't agree for this marriage. I can't be a second wife to him. I am not a baby making machine Dad. I have a heart and my own feelings and I will never agree to marry such a person" I said shouting at dad. "Look, whether you agree or not, you are going to marry him. I already took 5 lakhs in advance." dad said to me sternly.

I went running into my room. I don't understand why God is that angry with me. Why is he making my life a hell? Why all bad things happen to me only? I started crying.

Next day evening, I went to hospital and Ashutosh sir looked at me and came near me.

"Is everything okay with you, my love?" He asked me.

I was about to leave after signing in the attendance register but he held my hand pulling me towards him.

"Why are your eyes red? Did you cry whole night and morning? What happened to you?" He asked with genuine concern in his tone.

I thought to slap him for holding my hand but his concerned tone and eyes stopped me from doing so. I freed myself from his hold slowly.

"Nothing sir. I request you to please don't interfere in my life. " I said and left from there.

I didn't want another problem to enter into my life in the form of this Ashutosh sir.

Later in the evening I was busy checking the files in the ward. But still am not able to digest the fact that my own father is trying to get me married to a person who is already married. Remembering this, my eyes filled with water again. Then in one file I saw a paper with the same handwriting. My special friend is really an angel. Whenever I lose my hope, He always comes to give me hope.

Hi dear friend,

How are you? I heard you are working part-time in this hospital. It's really good to know you are trying to overcome your obstacles one by one slowly. I am so privileged to have you as my friend. Please remember that I am there here for you. You can share your problems with me. I will do my best to help you out. Never feel alone and lose hope. It's when the night is darkest the stars shine brighter! You are like a star too, these situations in your life will eventually help you shine out. Crying again? People often say girls look beautiful though they cry. But, I don't know why. I replace the smile a lot more beautiful on your face.

Tell me the reason behind your tears and give me a chance to transform them into happy tears..

Yours,

A friend who always wants you to smile :)

Then I made a decision to share my problem with my special friend. I wrote a letter too.

I finished the letter and kept it in the same place where I found his letter. I waited for half an hour but no one is coming. I really wanted to meet my special friend. I can't thank him enough for the encouragement he gave me. Suddenly Ashutosh sir from nowhere came and started scolding me.

"Miss. Rudrani, what are you doing here? Senior Dr. Ali is waiting for you to join him in the Operation Theatre. How can you be so irresponsible when you only gave word to him that you are going to assist him? Please report to him now!!" I was about to say something. But this time he is correct, I have to do my work first. I really hope my pen friend gets my letter and doesn't go into someone else's hands.

I apologised to Ashutosh sir and put the file under all other files. And left from there.

Ashutosh Pov:

I felt bad for scolding her. But what to do she wasn't even moving from here. I am feeling so anxious to know what happened to her. My whole life I've never felt this protective towards anyone.

Yesterday when she left suddenly I felt that there was some thing bad happening. I followed her without her notice. I saw a couple, her parents I think sending off their guests. My eyes were busy searching for her. Then I saw her hiding behind the curtain of her window. I could only see her tearful eyes.

I couldn't sleep a wink yesterday night. I was worrying too much!! She was the only thing in my mind. Her tearful eyes were not allowing my eyes to sleep.

I searched for the file. She is a really intelligent girl. I found it after a long search. I started reading it.

"Hi my special friend,

I have never introduced myself, but you know me so well and always come at the right time to give me the strength I seem to lose.

I really want to share my problem. But I don't know how you are even going to solve it. This time, fate has played a mischievous and dirty trick on me. My professor who taught me for one year wants to marry me. Yesterday he came with a proposal and gave my father 5 lakhs too. Now my dad is forcing me to marry him. He is already married. They want me to give them a heir as they can't have a child. How can people stoop so low?! If now I don't have my beauty does it mean they can buy me? Please can you help me? Am so tired of fighting now!

Rudrani"

I understood her pain and what she is going through at this moment. Tears formed in my eyes which is new to me till now. I am not an emotional person and tears are something unknown to me as I always had a loving family and very good friends. But, the feeling of losing my love Rudrani to an already married, greedy unethical man made me feel as if my heart was crushed into pieces at once. I suddenly felt as if my whole world crashed down within a second. I sat in my chair thinking. What should I do now? How can I help her and win my love?

Till now, I thought to make her fall for me with my naughtiness, love and care and then marry her. But now, situation is different. It's like now or never. I am not ready to lose her. Moreover, a true man never leaves his woman in trouble and allows her life to be consumed by unwanted darkness and pain.

I must stand by her and do whatever is necessary to save her. I am ready to marry her right now and surely my parents too will understand the situation. But my problem is with Rudrani. I am sure she will never be ready to marry me without her parent's acceptance. But, her dad will never agree for this marriage as he has greed for money.

Money is not a problem for me as I have more than enough and can offer her dad much more than that professor. But, the thought of buying my love with money is something that hurts me a lot and is against my ethics. Even if I take that decision to save her, I am sure that a girl like Rudrani who has self respect will never forgive me. She will hate me forever throughout her life. I don't want to start my relationship with her with hatred and anger. But what can I do now to save her? How can I save her? I must do something before it's too late.
