Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 379

Shreya walked through the deserted corridors with her sneakers making almost no noise… the smell of disinfectant hit her strongly as soon as she entered the corridor. The smell still repelled her… Her brows couldn’t help frown unconsciously. Her sneakers squeaked every now and then as she walked over the sparkling clean floors.

Her cast was still there but it was not as extravagant and as restraining as it was when they first put it… last week, the doctor changed it to a more convenient model. SO, now she can move her hand very slightly but still not by much.

Even when she walked confidently so far, as soon as she reached the room, her steps faltered. She stood there not daring to move even an inch for a long time.

She had vowed that she would come to see Zeenath only when everyone responsible for her state had been dealt with… and today she had fulfilled that… but now that she can see Zeenath, she couldn’t help being scared. She had flashbacks of seeing her parents all wrapped up in a room very similar to this one…

She had not lost both her parents to something so illogical as a ‘freak accident’. She could never get over that scene in her head… The way she saw her parents after two whole years was actually in a body bag… Life never felt more cruel to her than at that moment. After two years of not being home, she came back to a funeral!! She lost herself completely with no one there to catch her… her whole life flipped upside down in a matter of few days. She lost her smile that day… and she was afraid to lose it again when she had just found it all over again.

She cannot afford to go through something like that again. She did not have the confidence to get back up if history repeats itself. She did not want to lose another person around her to death.

But unlike the last time when life put her in a hopeless and helpless situation, this time she had hope…

That hope is what was pushing her to get around without falling down yet… the fact that Zeenath was still alive helped pushed her demons so far… But being here in the deserted corridor with the stench of disinfectants suffocating her, she couldn’t help the demons coming back… suddenly Zeenath being hurt became a reality that stared righted at her eyes rather than a piece of news she heard over a phone!

Shreya took a deep breath before reaching for the doorknob. Her hands couldn’t help shake as she reached for them. She slowly pushed them and entered, willing herself not to run away.

She had been closing her and saying she cannot see anything so far… but the minute she opened her eyes, she had to face the colors… she had no other option.

The first thing that hits her is the steady beeping sound from the machine monitoring Zeenath’s heart beating… even when it was scary, it also gave her a strange sort of comfort.

But that comfort flew out the window when she actually laid eyes on Zeenath…

In spite of the beeping, she looked lifeless in contrast to her usual bratty self. The whole of her right side still had cast. Her head was wrapped around like a mummy. She had incubators covering half her face.

Shreya’s face paled instantly… her sockets watered instantly. Her breathing hitched… She had to lean her uninjured hand on her bed to keep herself from falling… but when even that did not help, Shreya did not bother standing as she sat down on the floor.

She sat facing away from her… Shreya did not have the confidence to stay here staring at her face.

“Hey,” Shreya spoke. Her voice croaked but she continued. “I got those guys… I got the bastards who did this to you. It is just a matter of time before they stop breathing altogether… how long are you going to keep lying here? Didn’t you want to go on a date with Srinivas… if you keep lying down here, I will set him up with someone else!! Don’t blame me then… it is not my fault. It will be yours for sleeping too long!!” Shreya blabbered. She did not know what she was talking about half the time… she can see the panic rise in herself but she did not stop talking.

Shreya’s eyes kept spilling water without stopping as she talked. She forcefully wiped them away as she continued talking…

“This is all your fault for being the biggest idiot!! You know that!! You idiot just had to turn the car around even when I clearly asked you to drive straight! What the hell were you thinking? That you can just sacrifice yourself and I will raise a statue in your name? Fat chance!! It will be just a waste of time and space to do something like that to an idiot who cannot even understand one simple instruction. Since this is all your own doing, I will not cry for you either!!”

By that time Shreya stopped caring about what was coming out of her mouth as she said absolute nonsense. She just poured out everything she had been holding back all these days… in her stupor, she did not even realize Srinivas coming into the room.

“You wake up already okay?? I am your boss… so, you have to listen to me if you want to get paid!! Or else I will just fire you and look for a replacement!” Shreya said.

“You just don’t get to die on me, Zeenath. I will never allow you to…” She mumbled the last part as she rested her head over her knees looking exhausted and tired.

“You do not get to do this to me… not after everything!! So, you better wake and quickly before I lose my patience” She whispered with her head still buried between her knees.
