Chapter 3

Bhavika’s p.o.v

I reached the room and sat down on the bed. Suddenly my gaze fell on the laptop. I remembered having our photos on the laptop.

I opened it and started scrolling some precious photos of us. There were many pictures,which included me,him and Amaya.

Going through those pictures, my eyes fall on one particular photo. It was from our college time. Seeing the picture, I remembered the day when I had met him for the first time.

I originally came from a broken family. After my parents divorce, both of them had decided to move on. But none of them had wanted me, their only daughter, leaving me in the care of my grandmother, my Nani maa, Garima Verma. I have grown up under her wings. She was the biggest blessing of my life before Keeyan and Amaya.

I still remember that day. It was the first day of my college, and I was obviously very excited just like any other student. Moreover I was a scholar. I had gotten admission in my dream college, also with full scholarship, making my grandma proud.

After getting ready in my best clothes, I left for my college. As soon as I entered the gate, I was mesmerized with the beautiful campus.

After getting my schedule,I was going for my class when some seniors stopped me.

“ New admission?”, A girl asked me. I nodded my head yes.

“ Come with us. We have arranged a party for our juniors”, She said and took me to the Cafeteria where some seniors were ragging the juniors.

I got scared for a moment but then I looked around and saw they were just doing some fun activities, not harming anyone. Even juniors were laughing with their seniors, making me sigh in relief.

“ You come here”, I heard a voice, and saw a very handsome boy calling my name.

I went near him and stood in front of him.

“ What's your name?”he asked me.

“ Bhavika Verma”, I replied, getting nervous.

“ Hey!! Don't be nervous. We are Just having some get together to know our juniors' talents . By the way, I am Keeyan Singhania, your senior. What do you like , singing or dancing?”, he asked me, raising his eyebrows.

“ Singing”, I replied to him.

“ So our junior Bhavika Verma is going to sing a song for us”, He announced and gave me an encouraging smile.

I started singing and everyone was just looking at me with their jaws dropped.

I finished my song and everyone started clapping for me.

“ What a voice!”, he said, clapping with others.

“ Thank you”, I said, giving him a smile.

“ Our dear juniors, being your seniors, We have arranged a party tonight in the hostel. You are all invited to the party. See you all in the party”, he said and left from there.

It was our first meeting.Slowly we became friends and then became best friends.

Hearing the cell phone ringing, I came back from memories.

I wiped my tears and looked at the cell phone.

I saw Dr Rohan’s name flashing on the screen. It was Rohan, a friend of mine and Keeyan, also our doctor.

“ Hello,Rohan”, I said, picking up the call.

“ Hello Bhavika!! I am sorry to disturb you at this time, but it's urgent”, he said. I was able to sense the urgency in his voice.

“ Yeah, say?”, I asked him.

“ Can you meet me tomorrow? I am in Dehradun only. It's really important”, He said to me.

I was shocked knowing he was here suddenly.

“ Okay!! I will come tomorrow”, I told him.

Next day,

I woke up early in the morning and left to meet Rohan, making some excuse and leaving Amaya with them.

It took me around 20 minutes to reach the cafe where he was waiting for me.

We greeted each other and sat down to talk.

“ I know you have recently lost Keeyan and it's not the right time to talk. But I can't delay further, and put someone's life in danger”, Rohan said, making me scared.

“ Who are you talking about?”I asked him, getting scared.

“ It's about Amaya. You remembered how she had gotten seriously ill one month ago. At that time, I took her sample to do some tests. I got those results a few days ago”,he said, as his voice started turning heavy.

“ What is in the report?? You are now scaring me”, I said, looking at him.

“ Amaya is not fine. She is suffering from leukemia”, he said in a serious tone.

I felt everything spinning in front of my eyes, hearing his words.

“ You are lying right. How can this be possible? She is just 14 months old. How can she have such a fatal disease?”I asked, as tears started filling my eyes.

“ I have double checked it before coming to you. These reports are completely correct”, he said, giving me those reports.

“ We have already lost Keeyan,now we can't lose Amaya either. Keeyan had left her responsibility to me. I can't let anything happen to her. Please tell me how to save her. I will do everything to save her”,I said, holding his hands while crying.

“ Don't worry, we will find a way to save her. A very famous doctor who was also my professor during internship, lives here. He has handled many such cases like this. I have talked to him about this case. I have taken his appointment for today”, Rohan told me.

I nodded my head hearing him.

Later we left to meet the doctor. During the whole time only one thought was running in my mind,to save Amaya at any cost.

Soon we reached the hospital. He took me inside to meet Dr Mishra.

We sat in front of Dr Mishra, while he was reading the reports.

I felt my heart racing, seeing his expressions turning serious with each passing seconds.

“ DR. Mishra, What do you think about this case?”, Rohan asked him.
