Chapter 35: The one with accident.....
Karthik thought that he can no more hide it from her.
"Okay listen I want to be a RAW agent. Please don't say it to anyone because I don't want to. I'm working hard for it. I've been studying about it alot", said Karthik.
"That's why you didn't take science you took commerce so that you will have more time to study about it", Kruthika said raising her eyebrows.
"Yeah. And there was another advantage. You wouldn't be with me to give a report to mom and dad, since our timings were different", Karthik said.
"Hello sir, I never gave any report about your activites and behaviour to mom and dad"
"Yeah but still, I never had the fear about in these two years thinking 'Is she keeping an eye on me'"
"I'll always have my eye on you mister. Let's get serious. Do you know how to reach their?"
"No I don't. But..."
"Karthik you can trust me. I'm good at keeping your secrets"
"But I don't know how to reach there. It's like I'm in a desert searching for an oasis or in mid of an ocean looking for land"
"I know it's gonna be hard when you one knows how to reach there. And you don't even know how to achieve it? which step to take first? I'm not trying to scare you nor I'm asking you to change the destination of your journey but I'm describing about the route you are taking. How dangerous it might be?"
"Are you afraid that I might put your lives into risk? Yes I might in some cases. I knew that you all will be proud of me"
"I didn't even think of it. I'm just asking you to be sure while you take your step. That's it"
"I'm glad for your care and concern. If it's really where I belong, if it's in my fate. Then no one can change it and I'll find the way", said Karthik with firm determination.
"I pray that your dream to come true", said Kruthika as she hugged her brother.
"Will you both come down? I need some help to make the dessert!", came a voice from down.
"Coming mom", answered Kruthika. They both smiled and went down to help their mom.
After few days (Day of Kruthika's CET result announcement)....
Kruthika was bit tensed as it was her result announcement, today's result was going to decide in which college she's gonna join for her bachelor's in engineering. Her state was much better than previous time, because CET results are announced morning at 11am.
"Chill! You are not gonna get the college of your desire. Why do you take tension? Be here with me", says Karthik pulling her leg.
Kruthika got but more tensed thinking 'what if he right?'.
"Stop it Karthik. It will be good dear. Don't trust his words they will be wrong always", says Madhavi consoling Kruthika to calm down.
"Mom, you check my results. I'm not gonna see it", said Kruthika.
"I'll do it. She don't know how to check it", Karthik said, Madhavi starred at him, "I mean mom isn't faster. I'll check it"
"Karthik! What the hell are you doing? Time's five past eleven and you still haven't checked. Move I'll see it by myself", said Kruthika.
Since it was morning Madhusudan couldn't make take her to cyber center as he had to be in shop there would be customers as it is wedding season.
Kruthika grabbed the mobile from his hand and entered her number.
"Mom! My ranking is 957. Yes!", danced Kruthika as she checked the result twice.
"Wow! Congratulations dear. You've done very well", said Madhavi in excitement.
"I saw the same and I didn't belive it. So I checked it multiple times to be sure. That's why I took too much time", said Karthik teasing her.
"You can tease me as much as you want because I don't mind as I'm so happy", said Kruthika.
"Call your dad and inform him about result", Madhavi said.
Kruthika called her father.
"Hello dad! My rank is 957", said Kruthika happily.
"Really. Very good. Very good", said Madhusudan.
"Dad. Can we go out to have dinner tonight on account of the result?", asked Kruthika.
"Let me think of it. I'm having customer now", Madhusudan answered.
"Okay dad. Bye", said Kruthika colors of happiness on her face faded.
"What happened? Did he say no?", asked Karthik.
"He said 'Let me think of it'. I guess he might not agree with it", said Kruthika as she sat on the armchair.
They both watched TV for sometime and later they played cards. They waited for Madhusudan to come home so that they could have lunch together but Madhusudan didn't come early and he didn't even recieve the calls.
Madhavi and her children got tensed as where he might be and why he didn't answer the phone. Madhusudan finally returned home with an injury in his right hand and leg. So the three in home got panicked as of what might happened to him and how did it happen.
"Ayyo! What happened to you?", asked Madhavi in a choking voice.
"Nothing I just went to take parcels from the restuarant and got skidded and fell from two wheeler", said Madhusudan as if it was no big deal.
"Dad! How can you stay calm and look at it. It's bleeding so heavily. Why didn't you go to the hospital?", asked Kruthika.
"It's not a big injury. The wound just needs a proper dressing. That's it. Why to spend again thousands in the hospital", said Madhusudan.
"Dad! Please don't show conjuseness at least in matter of health", said Karthik as he brought some cotton and bandages from the drawer.
Karthik dressed up the wound.
"I'm so sorry dear. I couldn't bring the manchurian you asked", said Madhusudan.
"Dad! Are you still thinking about it even in this position. It's okay", said Kruthika as held his hand.
"Okay let's have lunch. It's already too late", said Madhavi.
Everyone had their lunch.
