Long Lost Memories and Love Ch 1
Arnav leaned forward and tried stealing another kiss when suddenly a huge truck came crashing...
ARNAV...!!!!
KHUSHI...!!!!
In just a matter of seconds everything went blank. What was left were fumes from the crash and two bodies lying almost lifelessly in a pool of blood. The truck driver immediately rushed out limping towards the couple. Witnessing the sight the driver quickly fetched his phone from his pocket.
And with a trembling voice spoke up, "Hello..."
While the darkness of the night slowly surrounded them awaiting silently for its destined fate.
...
The ambulance rushed the bodies to the nearest hospital. Upon arrival the ambulance roaring sirens immediately alerted the hospital's night shift staff from its deep slumber. The victims were quickly carried inside.
Dr. Kapoor and Dr. Chopra, known as one of the doctors in India, and their teams examined the patients. The doctors came out and ordered the nurses to inform the victims' families.
The Raizada family soon arrived followed by the Gupta family completely unaware of each other's presence.
Yash Raizada, (Arnav's father) marched towards Dr. Kapoor and demanded to see his son.
Yash: Where is my son?? I want to see him now!
Dr. Kapoor: Mr. Raizada please calm down and be patient. Your son has met with a very serious accident. His condition is very critical...
Before Dr. Kapoor could continue Yash gripped onto his collar and screamed,
"CALM?? You expect me to stay calm??
Divya and Anjali pulled Yash back. And apologized to the doctor for his behavior. After gathered his breath from the sudden shock the doctor said,
"Mr. Raizada raising your voice won't solve anything. I understand you are going through a lot but right now staying calm is what your son needs the most. I have already examined him. He has lost a lot of blood which has put him into a very critical condition. We will have to do a surgery.
Yash controlled his raging temper replied in a stern voice,
"Do whatever it takes doctor but please make sure nothing happens to him."
Dr. Kapoor: We will do our best. Have faith. I will get the papers ready for your signature of approval for the surgery. If you will please follow me to my office.
Yash nodded and followed him silently.
...
Meanwhile Mr. Shashi Gupta hurried towards the front desk asking for his daughter. After being directed to the doctor in charge he entered Dr. Chopra's office.
Dr. Chopra: Hi Mr. Gupta please have a sit.
Mr. and Mrs. Gupta sat down.
Dr. Chopra: Your daughter was in a major car accident. The injuries are severe. We will have to immediately do a surgery. I will need your signatures for approval.
Mr. Gupta: Doctor will she be okay?
Dr. Chopra: I can't say anything as of now. As of now we need to immediately do a surgery. We will do our best. Please sign here.
Mr. Gupta took the papers reluctantly. He turned towards his wife Garima. Receiving a reassuring nod he stared back at the papers for a minute and signed.
Dr. Chopra: Mr. Gupta don't worry our teams will do our best to save your daughter and son-in-law. Dr. Chopra will be handling your son-in-laws surgery in the ward next to Khushi's.
Shashi and Garima stared back at the doctor shocked.
...
After signing, Yash handed Dr. Kapoor the papers.
He took the papers and picked up a packet from his desk and said,
"Mr. Raizada I believe these belong to your son and daughter-in-law."
He handed them the packet.
Confused, shocked, and alarmed they took the packet and pulled out the contents letting out shocking gasps. The packet revealed a watch, a magulsutra, and a marriage certificate...

After signing, Yash handed Dr. Kapoor the papers.
He took the papers and picked up a packet from his desk and said,
"Mr. Raizada I believe these belong to your son and daughter-in-law."
He handed them the packet.
Confused, shocked, and alarmed they took the packet and pulled out the contents letting out shocking gasps. The packet revealed a watch, a magulsutra, and a marriage certificate...
Divya and Anjali each took turns studying the contents laid in front of them.
Divya: Anjali betiya...this...
Anjali stared back at her mother mirroring the same reaction.
Anjali: Maa...Chote...he...
Yash getting anxious said,
"Would you two tell me what the hell is going on???"
The mother and daughter were too shocked to register what Yash was asking. They just stared back at each other nervously awaiting the reputations. Yash getting restless, snatched the marriage certificate out of his wife, Divya's hands. And what he saw made his eyes turn blood red. He sprang up causing his chair to bang loudly on the tiled floor.
Yash: GUPTA!!!!! Where is he??? Is Mr. Gupta here??
He shot at the trembling and startled doctor.
Dr. Kapoor had known the Raizada family for years as well as Yash's short temper. However he wasn't aware of the equation the Raizadas and Guptas shared. He hesitated at first but receiving constant deadly glances he quickly tried to form words.
Dr. Kapoor: He...Gupta...Mr. Gupta...might...
Yash: He WHAT??? I asked you a question! Answer it!!!
Having no courage to speak Dr. Kapoor weakly lifted his hand and pointed towards the room down the hall.
Yash: Where??
The doctor gulped in fear and replied,
"Doctor...in Dr. Chopra's office. He...he might be there as Dr. Chopra is in charge of your daughter-in-laws' surgery.
Hearing that Yash stormed out. With Divya and Anjali running behind trying to calm him down.
...
Back in Dr. Chopra's office Shashi was outraged.
Shashi: WHAT?? What you do mean son-in-law??? Khushi isn't married!!!
Dr. Chopra a little apprehensive replied,
"Mr. Gupta...ummm...when...umm...
Mr. Shashi: Speak up! What do you mean??
Dr. Chopra: Woh...when Khushi was brought here to the hospital she was in bridal clothes. And with her was her husband. In fact your son-in-laws family has almost been called here. They must be in Dr. Kapoor's office. Dr. Kapoor must have also informed Mr. Raizada and his family about that their son would also need to get a surgery done.
Shashi and Garima couldn't believe what they just heard.
Before Garima could even react Shashi stormed out to find him...Yash!! As soon as Shashi stepped out of the office he saw Yash charging towards him like an animal. Not giving a damn about Yash's deadly glares Shashi too charged forward. As they reached each other Yash grabbed onto Shashi's collar. While Shashi did the same, with neither ready to back out. Divya, Anjali and Garima tried their best to pull the two raging men apart only to be pushed back roughly.
Yash: GUPTA!!! You knew didn't you dammit! You're the one who set it up huh?? How dare you!!! How dare you even think of getting your clutches on MY SON THROUGH YOUR DAUGHTER??
Shashi tighten his grip on Yash's collar and spit out,
"RAIZADA! Watch your mouth!!! Why the hell would I set it up?? Why would I throw my daughter into a hell hole?? I am NOT outta my MIND! You and that son of yours probably trapped my daughter into this mess! You Raizadas probably forced her!!!"
Yash was about to punch Shashi when the security guards and the doctors came running in to stop the two men.
Dr. Chopra: Mr. Raizada and Mr. Gupta this is an hospital and we will not tolerate such behavior here! It does not matter whatever family feuds exists between you two! Right now your children's life is in danger! You two ought to be praying and letting us do our job rather than jumping at each other's throat!
Yash and Shashi glared at Dr. Chopra but remained quiet due to the security guards holding them back.
Dr. Kapoor said in a soft tone,
"Mr. Raizada and Mr. Gupta we will do our best to save your children. Please set these matters aside for now. Now if you will excuse us we need to go forth with the surgeries.
Saying that the doctors went back into their offices to prepare for the surgeries.
Yash and Shashi stared back at each with disgust as they both of the families settled on the hospital benches across from each other. The guards stayed present by their side to prevent anymore trouble from happening. The ladies decided to keep quiet and instead prayed for the children's safety.
After a while Shashi spoke up in a low tone,
"Yash...if something happens to my Khushi I won't spare you or your family."
"And I won't spare you at all...after this surgery consider these days to be your last days!" replied Yash with a threatening tone.
...
After a good 6 hours Dr. Kapoor finally came out with a grim look. Yash, Divya and Anjali rushed forward and pondered the poor doctor with questions,
Anjali: Is Chote ok??
Divya: How is my Arnav betiva doing??
Yash: Is the surgery successful?? Why don't you say something???
The doctor looked back at the worried faces. He sighed deeply,
"As of right now I can't say anything. So far the surgery has been successful. But I will know more once your son gains conscious."
The Raizadas went silent with only Yash asking calmly,
"When can we meet him? How long do we have to wait?"
Dr. Kapoor: "Arnav should gain conscious in a few hours, you can meet him then. But please make sure not to give him any stress." Saying that the doctor turned to head towards his office when a voice called from behind.
"Do you know how my daughter is doing?" asked a teary and frighten Garima.
Dr. Kapoor: No I am not sure since my colleague Dr. Chopra is handling that case. However Khushi's case is bit more severe. She not only loss excess amount of blood but her injuries were more severe too. Due to her critical condition he has asked me to him in the surgery. I will check with Dr. Chopra and try to update you soon. Please have faith and pray for the best of your children.
And saying that he left for his office to pick up a few things before going to help Dr. Chopra.
...
Another 3 more hours passed with the doctors finally coming out...
Long Lost Memories and Love Ch 3
Another 3 hours passed with the doctors finally coming out...
Shashi and Garima rushed forward but before they could even utter a word the doctors spoke,
Dr. Chopra: Although we managed to successfully complete the surgery it was very complicated.
A lump formed at the back of Garima's throat.
"She will be ok right??" asked Shashi getting concerned by the grim expressions on the doctors' faces.
Dr. Kapoor: Your daughter's case wasn't simple. If she doesn't gain conscious in a few hours we will immediately have to do another surgery. However for now your daughter will be shifted into a room soon right next door to where Mr. Raizada's son will be in.
Garima sank down onto the hospital bench sobbing. While Shashi and Yash looked at each other with hatred.
Having said that the doctors excused themselves to further discuss Arnav and Khushi's cases. During the surgeries both had noticed the severe injuries. Since they weren't sure if their assumptions were right they decided to remain quiet until both the patients gain conscious. They were just hoping and praying that their predictions were wrong.
...
Another 5 hours passed with the Raizadas and Guptas getting restless waiting outside Arnav and Khushi's room. Anjali saw a old aged nurse coming out of Arnav's room.
Anjali: Sister can we meet him?
Nurse: Umm...Mam let me first check with the doctor. I'll be right back.
Anjali nodded and waited. The nurse came out of Dr. Kapoor's office and led them into Arnav's room.
Nurse: Please make sure not to stress him.
The Raizadas nodded. Divya, Anjali and Yash slowly inched forward. There lay Arnav with bandages covering his severe wounds. Divya gasped and tried holding back a sob. Painful tears streaked down her cheeks seeing her son in this state. She sank down beside him and caressed his cheeks. Almost magically Arnav's eyes started to stir. He slowly lifted his heavy eyelids and peered at the sight in front of him. But all he saw were blurry figures. He shut his eyes again to ease the painful headache only to blink them back open when he heard someone utter his name.
Devya: Arnav...
After a couple of blinks Arnav saw his mother sitting next to him crying. It took him a few moments to register in his surroundings before an intense rage swept through his body and he sprang up.
"DAMMIT!!!" He screamed shocking the living daylights out of the family.
"Where is she??? I won't let her get away with this!!!!! I won't that freak ruin everything!!!"
Anjali, Divya and Yash stared back at him wide-eyed! Before they could ponder over this for even a second longer, they saw something even more shocking!
He half limped/darted towards the door only to be pulled back by his father. He struggled until exhaustion from the sudden outburst took over. The throbbing pain in his head forced him to grip onto his father's shoulder for support. The family managed to lay him back onto the hospital bed and rushed to get hold of Dr. Kapoor.
...
The same old-aged nurse asked the family to wait outside as Dr. Kapoor and his team examined Arnav. They spoke in hush tones passing concerning gazes to one another.
Even after the injecting him with a heavy dose of medication Arnav's lips whispered a name...
"Khushi...love..."
...
While pacing restlessly right outside Yash paused as he reached into his pockets to answer the buzzing phone. It flashed unknown. He decided to ignore it.
As Dr. Kapoor came out he said,
"Mr. Raizada may I have a word with you in my office?"
Yash nodded and followed. As they both settled down Dr. Kapoor thought long and hard before speaking up,
"Mr. Raizada I'm afraid your son may be suffering from temporary memory loss. He had quite a few head injuries. I had suspected something wrong during the surgery but decided to be sure before informing you.
Yash: What?? What the hell are you talking about?? But how can this be?? Will he recover??
Kapoor: Since its a temporary memory loss he should be able to recover. However there is no telling when that will happen. It could be a hour, day, month, or even years. However he will require extra care and rest. Any kind of stress could lead to permanent memory loss.
Outraged Yash just walked out without replying. While Divya and Anjali entered the doctor's office. His phone started buzzing again.
...
After sometime the Gupta family was led into Khushi's room. She lay there with paleness almost lifelessly.
Garmina: Betiya...please wake up. Please look me and Papa are here.
But hearing this Khushi started sobbing in her unconscious state. Her body became ice cold as she started screaming,
"Nooo...please...!! WHY???"
Garima: Khushi...!!!
The nurse rushed out to fetch Dr. Chopra.
...
Yash groaned seeing unknown flashing again. He stepped aside to answer.
Unknown: Hi Mr. Raizada how is your son doing?
Yash: Who is this?
Unknown: Wrong question...you should be asking me something else.
Yash: Who the freaking hell is this & what the hell do you want??
The person behind the phone chuckled evilly,
"Ahhh...finally. So I heard Arnav is suffering from memory loss. What about your daughter-in-law??"

After sometime the Gupta family was led into Khushi's room. She lay there with paleness almost lifelessly.
Garmina: Betiya...please wake up. Please look me and Papa are here.
But hearing this Khushi started sobbing in her unconscious state. Her body became ice cold as she started screaming,
"Nooo...please...!! WHY???"
Garima: Khushi...!!!
The nurse rushed out to fetch Dr. Chopra.
"Nooo please nooo Papa...NK..." cried Khushi.
Shashi and Garima's eyes widened at the mention of NK.
Garima: NK...why...but he...
Before she could try to make sense of what was going on Dr. Kapoor came in.
...
Dr. Kapoor stood with his back facing the Guptas in his office. He wasn't sure how to word their daughter's situation. He finally took his place behind his desk and decided to break the silence,
"Your daughter as I said before was severely injured. The shock of the accident and the injuries have lead to permanent memory loss. Her condition is still very critical. Any kind of stress can lead to her going into coma or death. She must be kept under observation for some time."
Garima broke into painful sobs and with starting shivering. She folded her hands in front of the doctor said,
"Doctor sab please save my daughter please. I beg of you. Bring her back. Please!!"
Dr. Kapoor: Mrs. Gupta please try and understand her condition was very critical. With great difficulty we were able to save her life. Please stay strong. Your daughter needs you the most right now. We will do our best.
Shashi: Is there any chances of her getting her memory back?
Dr. Kapoor: I'm afraid the chances of that happening are very low. As of now she needs time to recover. Only time can tell what will happen.
Shashi just sat there numbly holding his sobbing wife in his arms.
...
Yash: Who the freaking hell is this & what the hell do you want??
The person behind the phone chuckled evilly,
"Ahhh...finally. So I heard Arnav is suffering from memory loss. What about your daughter-in-law??"
"How dare you!!! What do you think of yourself?? And how do you know all this??" demanded a fuming Yash.
"Really? Oh come on Yash! You really do ask such stupid questions!! Now enough with your nonsense crap!! You're not in the damn position to be asking the questions here!! Leave the questioning to ME!
Yash: Spit it out then dammit!
Unknown: Which channel would you like to have the grand new flash of your son's secret wedding?"
Yash punched the wall beside him. Clenching his teeth he replied.
...
Anjali and Divya sat next to Arnav still thinking back to what the doctor had said to them.
Short Flashback:
Outraged Yash just walked out without replying. While Divya and Anjali entered the doctor's office. His phone started buzzing again.
Anjali and Divya looked back in question at seeing Yash storming out of Dr. Kapoor's office. They decided to leave him be and speak to the doctor.
Dr. Kapoor: Mrs. Raizada I was just telling your husband about Arnav's condition. He is suffering from temporary memory loss.
End of Flashback
Anjali: Maa don't worry nothing will happen to our Chote. You heard what the doctor said na. It will only be a matter of time and our Chote will be ok.
Divya: Anjali Betiya...Chote...
She burst into tears as Anjali hugged her mother trying to calm her down. Yash suddenly barged in and dragged them out roughly.
Yash stared at Anjali and Divya sternly as he spoke,
"Neither of you will ever let Arnav know anything about the Guptas and Khushi!"
Divya: But Yash...Khushi is his wife now. She is our Bahu. She is our responsibility now.
Yash: Divya I'm warning you and Anjali! You two better keep your mouth shut!! I don't want the media to link the Raizadas with the Guptas!! Those filthy Guptas and their daughter will never step foot in my house!
Shashi: YASH!!!
Shashi and Garima had just stepped out of Dr. Chopra's office and were heading towards Khushi's room. As they were approaching her room they heard Yash.
Shashi: You calling us filthy?? Huh?? What about you?? Forget what you want! I don't want my Khushi linked with that son of yours! Like father like son! Both full of crap and lies!!!
Yash wanted to knock Shashi out right there and then but controlled his temper to get his way with things.
Yash: Fine Gupta! Since we both don't approve of this wedding we both will keep our children away from each other!
Shashi stared right back into Yash's eyes,
"Deal!"
And with that both families split their ways.
...
As they watched Arnav sleeping Divya turned to her husband and demanded answers,
"How long do you think you will hide the truth from him?? He will eventually remember everything! He deserves to know!"
Yash smirked saying,
"Don't worry I got everything under control! Everything is now in my hands. Arnav will never find out! Nobody will ever dare to tell him either! Is that clear?"
Divya and Anjali stared back him with disbelief but remained quiet.
...
After 24 hours had passed with Khushi finally gained conscious. But was still very weak.
Khushi: Amma where is he?
Garima gulped with fear about who Khushi was asking about.
Garima: Who betiya?
Khushi: NK. Where is he? Did he talk to Papa? Did he convince him?
...
A few weeks had gone by with Arnav and Khushi both still admitted in the hospital. Both were slowly recovering from the injuries. The hospital staff took extra care of both of them. They made sure Arnav and Khushi were kept away from each other's sight upon strict orders from the Raizada and Gupta families. However who knew that things might not go as planned.
The nurses would take Arnav and Khushi out everyday onto the lawn in front of the hospital for fresh air. The nurses had made sure to set different timings for them.
It was a bright sunny day when a new intern, Sanjana, was appointed for Khushi. Since the old nurse was on temporary leave a Sanjana was left for taking care of Khushi. The intern being in her early twenties was a little careless and only paid half attention to the instructions the old nurse gave her before she went off for her leave.
Neha, Arnav's appointed nurse, took Arnav out for his usual outing. Arnav looked far off silently. The sun rays were burning his eyes. When it became intolerable he opened his mouth to tell Neha to take him back inside when a cool wind started blowing. He turned his head towards the hospital and felt his heart stop.
Arnav: Khushi...
Khushi looked up and stared back as Sanjana led her onto the front lawn.
Neha, Arnav's appointed nurse, took Arnav out for his usual outing. Arnav looked far off silently. The sun rays were burning his eyes. When it became intolerable he opened his mouth to tell Neha to take him back inside when a cool wind started blowing. He turned his head towards the hospital and felt his heart stop.
Arnav: Khushi...
Khushi looked up and stared back as Sanjana led her onto the front lawn.
The winds picked up speed almost as if dancing...Rabba Ve...
All they could do was stare back at each other silently holding their breaths.
As Sanjana reached them with Khushi, Neha's eyes widened in shock and fear! Before matters could get any worse she tried to take charge of the situation. But unfortunately for them one of the staff members had already seen Sanjana and immediately informed Dr. Chopra and Dr. Kapoor. So just within a few minutes both of the doctors came rushing.
"What is going on here??? Sanjana you know the orders!!! Neha what are doing standing there??" Barked Dr. Chopra.
Dr. Kapoor: Take him inside NOW!!!
Neha and Sanjana flinched hearing doctors' roaring orders. Neha hurriedly gathered everything and started to take him back inside when Arnav finally broke out of his trance.
"Khushi!!! Khushi!!!!!!!! Let me go!!! Khushi!!!! Please let me go!!! KHUSHI!!!!!" screamed Arnav hysterically.
He struggled and tried to loosen the tight grips of hospital staff. His screams kept growing louder and louder. The people passing by stopped hearing Arnav's thundering screams.
Dr. Kapoor: Hold him!!!
A few more staff members rushed to help as they held him down and gave him a shot. Slowly his struggles mellowed down as his eyes closed. His body sulked down onto the wheelchair as Neha and Dr. Kapoor led him back to his room.
Meanwhile Khushi sat in her wheelchair confused. Her heart started racing when she saw the stranger in front of her screaming her name. Her concern for this stranger seem to have grow when she saw them taking him back inside after giving him that shot.
She breathlessly stared at Dr. Chopra and Sanjana with questioning eyes before speaking up.
Khushi: Who...who was he??? Why was he calling my name??
Sanjana was about to speak when Dr. Chopra suddenly took over to prevent any more possible damage caused by the careless intern.
Dr. Chopra: He is just another patient here Khushi. He is suffering from some kind of trauma. You don't need to worry about him. He will be fine.
Despite hearing the doctors' words she just couldn't take his image out of her mind. She didn't understand her restlessness for this stranger. Her thoughts were interrupted when the doctor spoke again.
Dr. Chopra: Sanjana after settling Ms. Gupta in her room I need to have a word with you in my office.
Sanjana gulped in fear knowing what was coming up. She nodded nervously as the doctor headed back to his office.
...
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN IT WAS AN ACCIDENT? I gave you strict orders to keep my son away from that filthy Gupta's daughter!!!" Yash yelled as he gripped onto Dr. Kapoor's neck even harder.
He had immediately rushed to the hospital after being informed about the incident.
Dr. Kapoor chocked and Yash let him go only to then grip his collar.
"How the hell did this happen?? There better be a very good explanation behind this!!!" threatened Yash.
After catching his breath he spoke up,
"Sir...actually Sanjana, our new intern here was temporarily in charge of Khushi. She accidentally brought her out when Arnav was there. And then Arnav started screaming her name. But then we took care of the situation. We gave him a shot. He is now in his room sleeping."
Yash: I don't give a damn about that intern or Gupta's daughter! I left you damn people in charge of my son's well-being! Your irresponsibility could have led to serious consequences! I want you to fire that intern right now!!!!"
Dr. Kapoor: Yes...she... she has been fired. And I assure you this won't happen again. We have increased the security for your son.
Yash: But the damage has been done!!! What will I say to my son when he questions about her?? Your staff's carelessness will cost you big time Kapoor!
"No sir please. Everything is still under control. You don't have to worry about your son. He won't recall anything regarding the Guptas or Khushi" said the doctor trying to reassure Mr. Raizada.
"Oh Really? Is that so? And what is the guarantee?" spat out Yash.
Dr. Kapoor: Yes sir don't worry about that. I assure you he won't remember anything. Everything has been taken care of. Although in his subconscious mind he may recall her name but nothing more than that. Your son is in safe hands Mr. Raizada.
Yash: I am not going to take any more risks regarding my son's well-being. Get his discharge papers ready! I'm taking him back home! And that AN ORDER!!
Dr. Kapoor: But sir...that really not necessary. He...
Yash: I said GET THE DAMN DISCHARGE PAPERS READY!
...
Flashback:
After spending a few hours with them celebrating Arnav and Khushi stepped out of Aman's house. They walked out hand in hand towards the car.
The cool wind was causing havoc to Arnav's senses seeing his gorgeous wife in the lehenga choli. He pulled her up against the door of their car. He leaned forward capturing her in a desperate kiss. They moaned in pleasure but pulled back when they heard Aman and his friend laughing.
Embarrassed Khushi pushed Arnav away. They sat in their car and headed toward their hotel room.
"So Mrs. Raizada are you ready for tonight?" Arnav teased and flirted with his bride.
Khushi's mouth dropped shocked at his bold question, "Hawww Arnav aap bhi na..."
Arnav leaned forward and tried stealing another kiss when suddenly a huge truck came crashing...
The truck came crashing on Khushi side harder...within seconds the car flipped over causing Khushi to scream in terror,
"ARNAV...!!!!!!"
Before her body landed roughly on the dark road. She lay there unconscious and lifelessly in a large pool of blood.
KHUSHI...!!!!
Arnav trembled as he limped weakly over to Khushi when suddenly something hard hit the back of his head causing him to fall next to Khushi in the pool of blood.
