Chapter 1

*Satvi Pov* 

The beach is so beautiful and watching the sunset along with it is like a feast for my eyes. I smiled, hugging myself and just gazed at the beautiful scenery in front of me. 

“Satvi!” I heard my name being called. 

I frowned turning around to find out who is calling me and disturbing my pleasantness. But I couldn’t see anyone here. 

I was just about to turn back, but this time I heard my name again, but with fear dripping from it. I slowly turned around to see the biggest wave I have never seen coming my way. 

Before I could run away, it caught me, but I still trashed it to run more, but it pulled me back into the ocean. 

I shouted ‘HELP!’ at the top of my lungs but still no one was there to help me. I trashed some more and more and then I felt the water filling my lungs. 

Slowly, I felt my life, leaving me, and I couldn’t do anything to stop it. Suddenly, I gasped for air sitting up out of nowhere and tried to take in as much air as I can. 

“Calm down!” I heard someone saying. 

Calm down?! I am dying here and trying to save myself, and this person is telling to calm down. I pushed that person’s hand away weekly from my shoulder and still continued to take huge amounts of air. 

“You are fine now.” I heard the voice again, and I was being laid down flat. 

“Where am I?” I asked, opening my eyes even more clearly. 

“I am your nurse and I am glad that you have finally woken up.” She replied. 

“What?” I asked her and felt my throat burning. 

“Your accident was very serious, and no one had the hope that you will wake up, but thank god you did.” She replied soothingly. 

What accident? And why is she talking like this like I just woke up from a deep sleep. Does that mean my drowning in the ocean is not true? Was I dreaming? 

“Beach! Ocean!” I mumbled hoping my voice doesn’t get more burned. 

“Beach? We are far away from the beach dear. This is Lucknow.” She said smiling at me. 

So that means I again dreamed about it like always since childhood, but this is the first time that I got drowned. I should say this to karthik immediately. 

But first of all, how did I get into an accident? And why is the nurse looking at me like I just fought with death? 

I tried to rub my face, but saw that my hand is paining a little. She immediately stopped me saying, “Even though the bruises got cured. Don’t move the hands like that.” 

Bruises? I so want to find out everything right now and the only person who can explain it to me will be my Karthik. 

“Where is he?” I asked myself, but she heard it. 

“You are very lucky to have him. He took great care of you and just went outside.” She replied walking outside the room. 

Does that mean he too likes me? I really hope that he does. He is my crush and my best friend and I already like him so much, but I think I love him too by hearing this. 

I felt a little drowsy but stayed awake only to see him. I heard the door opening and saw him entering the room with a smile. 

“Hey! You are awake.” He said smiling. 

“Yeah!” I mumbled before drifting off into sleep. 

After getting up, I will tell him my feelings, and then we will get married happily without any obstructions. Even my Dad likes him, right? 

Where are Dad and Leela though? Dad must be getting informed right now, but what happened to that little sister of mine. 

She will scold me if I say little sister again. She will just say I am only two years younger than you so don’t call me like that. But I will forever. 

I slowly left my thoughts, feeling headache and drifted off into a deep sleep. 

After what felt like days I slowly opened my eyes only to come face to face with a very angry face. My eyes widened, looking at his fuming face. 

“You! I will not leave you alone.” He said still fuming, and I did only one thing which I can. 

“Help!” I shouted at the top of my lungs ignoring the burning in my throat. 

“Dad! Karthik! Help!” I shouted more and more, and he glared more before pressing a hand over my mouth. 

“Ahhh!” I screamed after biting his palm, and he hissed removing it away. 

“What happened?” I heard many people asking and saw Dad, Karthik, Leela, Nurse and Doctor entering the room. 

“He is trying to kill me.” I shouted, pointing at the man beside me. 

“What? I didn’t try to kill her.” The man shouted in confusion. 

“Did I try to kill you?” This time he shouted at me, but with anger coming near me again. 

“Ahh!” I screamed, holding my head, trying to overcome the fear I felt. 

“Mister! You need to leave the room.” Doctor said sternly. 

“Fine!” he mumbled before leaving the room, and then I took deep breaths. 

“How are you feeling?” Doctor asked in a polite tone. 

“Like I just got hit by a huge truck.” I replied, rubbing my head all over. 

“What is your name?” he asked and I looked at him funnily. 

“Satvi Anand!” I replied, and my heart got calm now without any fear. 

“Can you tell me who those are?” He asked showing me the people in front of me. 

“My Dad! My sister Leela and then my best friend Karthik.” I replied, smiling at them, and they just stood there calmly. 

Looks like I scared all of them with my screaming match. I smiled at them apologetically and then looked at the doctor. 

“Do you remember how you got into the accident?” He asked calmly. 

“Actually, I didn’t know I got into one until the nurse told me.” I replied honestly. 

“Try to remember it.” He said and I did, but couldn’t get anything but darkness regarding that. 

“Try more.” Leela urged me. 

I tried thinking it must be really important, maybe for a police report or something. When I did I just feel like I am drowning again. 

I held my head tightly, feeling the water filling my lungs and then everywhere. I screamed with my eyes rolling back, and I fell down on the bed into unconsciousness with a feeling that I have died again.
