Mafia's Sweet Addiction

Ch. 11


I, Abeer Malhotra, a billionaire and the leader of the Mafia world, feeling so helpless today. I was betrayed by my loved ones and saved by some stranger. Wow! I think destiny is in the mood of playing hide and seek with me like always.
.
.
.
"But, right now, I have to hide my identity from everyone as revealing my identity right now can prove a threat to my life. "
And I can't take that risk because my life belongs to someone else too. All these thoughts made my eyes opened as anxiety did not let me sleep.
.
.

After opening my eyes, " I found that the nurse was checking my wounds."
" So Sir how are you feeling now?", the nurse asked, with a slight smile on her face.
"It's still paining badly", I replied.
By the way, " Could you please tell me where is that girl who saved my life ", I asked hesitantly.

" Oh!", that girl, she was such an innocent soul, people like her are rarely seen nowadays. "You know what, the day she stepped in this hospital with you, for your treatment, she was continuously serving you without any excuses." And, "she was continuously praying to God for your speedy recovery", the nurse replied, with a never leaving smile plastered on her face.
.
.
.

"After listening so much from the nurse", about her, I really became desperate to have a glimpse of the girl who proved an "Angel" to my life. I was eagerly waiting for her appearance in front of me. I was eagerly waiting for the person who saved my life from that life-threatening accident of mine. The person, who was a complete stranger for me but then also took an initiative to save my life without thinking for a second when I was betrayed by my loved ones, who never deserved my unconditional love for them.
.
.

"So where is she ?", I asked the nurse , being impatient now. 

"She went home and will come back in the evening." the nurse replied.

" Now it's your time to take the medicines and have some proper rest for your speedy recovery.", the nurse said with a slight smile on her face. And after taking the medicine and waiting for that girl I didn't realise when, I dozed off.

In the evening time the sound of birds peeping, while returning to their home was audible to me. It's time for the sun to set. I slowly opened my eyes, only to catch a glimpse of the most beautiful face with a dimple smile plastered on her face. Her dark brown eyes, her black long hair, her innocence and cute red cheeks were enough to drive someone's crazy about her.
I came out of my thoughts when suddenly I realized what I was thinking before. As I can't love someone.
.
.

"Hello, I am Khushi, the girl who took you to the hospital", she said smilingly. " Thank God that finally, you came to your senses. I was so much worried for you after seeing you in such a critical condition. "By the way, please tell me about your family members as I have to inform them about you." She inquired with a never leaving smile, plastered on her face. They must be worried about looking after you. I had been waiting for so long to inform your family members but it could only be possible after you could come back to your senses.
.
.

"Her question made me speechless ." I thought in my mind, I cannot reveal my identity right now, at least for 60 days I have to hide, myself from everyone.

"Now, I have to hide the truth from her too", otherwise, things will get terrible.
.
.

" Ummm...I...We....actually...I don't remember anything related to my past." I replied, hesitantly.
.
.

"What? It means you don't remember anything related to you....your name....your family members....your friends....no one?" She asked, her mouth being opened due to the sudden shocked given by me.
.
.

"Yes", I replied, smiling sheepishly.

Khushi's POV
.
.
.
"I was so much delighted" when I stepped into the hospital, and the doctor informed me that, "Mr. Stranger regained his consciousness". For the last seven days, however, I was continuously praying for his speedy recovery but doctors were losing hope and informed me that he might go into comma. But when God himself protects his devotees no one can even put a scratch on that person and I have full faith in God, without his consent not even a leaf moves from its place.
.
.

But, little did I know, that this was," the silence before the storm".
.
.

"When Mr. Stranger informed me, that he had lost his memory and didn't even remember a single thing about his past", the ground just crumbled under my feet. I became numb, as I had no idea how to react now or what to do in that situation.
.
.

" I could not leave him alone in the hospital", especially in this situation where he doesn't know anything about himself. "But where will I take him?"
.
.

I, Khushi, belongs to India but certain circumstances, and that horrible night which I couldn't forget in my entire life led me here, in New York. And Thanks to God, that I got a job and assigned as a "waitress" for my survival because no company was ready to hire me without seeing my degrees. "The income from my job even falls shorts for me, then how will I led his responsibility and expenses on my shoulder?".
.
.

"Thinking so deeply about it for such a long duration, now I have two choices".
.
.

First, I will run away from the hospital without informing anyone so that I don't have to pay for the expenses and also don't have to take over his responsibility on mine.
.
.

Second, face the situation without any fear. Moreover, I will try to do everything for his better treatment and early recovery and also try to search for his family. Because I very well know how it feels when you get separated from your loved ones.
.
.

" Now the choice is all yours!", Miss. Khushi, I thought in my mind. And Suddenly, I remembered something that helped me to take the decision correctly.
.
.

If that horrible night, God didn't send his angel to save me from that monsters, then today I am not even worth showing my face to anyone not even, to myself.

I would lose everything, that terrible night if that man didn't save me.
.
.

If we human beings don't help each other in these difficult situations then humanity will not survive on this earth. Being human, it's our duty that we should help each other as far as possible.

Abeer's POV
.
.

"I didn't have any further choice left, except pretending to lose my memory", I thought in my mind. For sixty days, I need to hide my identity from everyone because right now I am in a situation where I can't trust anyone. "After all, who knows, if my loved friend turns out to be my worst enemy."
.
.

And if I save myself till that ceremony, everything will be fine. Everything will fall in its right place.
.
.

Moreover, I want to know, about that "Ms. Stranger" identify in real. Maybe, she was a spy sent by my enemy so that they can watch me every moment or maybe she was after my money.

"Because in today's world no one helps anyone for no reason", I thought in my mind.
.
.

So concluding every scenario, either she will help me out or she will back out with some stupid excuses of hers.
.
.

If she decides to help me out, I will make sure to reveal the real mastermind behind her, who is watching me ever step through her. Otherwise, if she chooses to back out, it's her decision and I will respect that and I'll always be grateful to her and highly obliged for saving my life.
.
.

Now I am eagerly waiting for her decision. "Because, who knows, maybe she was an angel sent by GOD as my Christmas gift for saving my life".

"From my childhood, my only wish from Santa Claus was to send an Angel for me, just like my mom who will protect me from every devil outside", my mind thought, mockingly at me.

That's the reason I love children so much , because they do not pretend anything. They're natural , their innocence mind don't know about cheating, hatred or anything bad. They just want love , nothing else, and in return they will love you from the bottom of their heart. Just like in my childhood, I loved my mother, thinking about all this, a lone tear escaped from my eyes.
