the devil's star (Completed)

chapter 6- hold on i still need you

*MANIK'S POV*
I was lost in my thoughts when cabir told me that we have reached the hospitals owned by Malhotras.

Without listening or doing anything, I picked pari up in bridal style, and sprinted towards the OT.

On our way to the hospital, I had called the best doctor in India who is currently working for us and let him know about pari. I also asked him to prepare for operation so that no longer time is taken.

Once I was sure she was being taken care of I ran outside the hospital. I can't take this anymore. I went inside my jeep and started driving aimlessly.

After 15 Mins I came to my comfort place. The cliff from where we can see the whole Mumbai. I used use to come with nannu here when we were little. But after her adoption I couldn't find out but whenever I am feeling something which gets out of control I come here with my guitar and just sing some songs or sometimes write them.

So I took out my spare guitar that I always keep in my jeep and after sitting on the cliff, I closed my eyes and my fingers unknowingly started strumming the strings and I started singing.

After I completed the song, only one thing was going on in my mind. Did I just write a song for pari?! No no this can't be true. This has to be a coincidence.

I didn't have much time to think over it becuse I got a call from a panicked cabir who said to immediately come to the hospital. So I quickly drove to the hospital and when I say quickly I mean I reached the hospital in 10 mins which usually takes 40 mins to reach.

As soon as I reached there I asked the doctor "what happened doctor? How is she? Is she out of danger?"

The doctor smiled sadly and said "Mr. Malhotra, your wife has lost a lot of blood. And her blood group is AB+ve. We currently don't have AB+ve blood bags. We would have asked someone for the blood donation but only a AB+ve blood can be taken. She has very less time. If within 30 mins we won't be able to get the blood, we won't be able to save her."

My breathing stopped. No no I can't let that happen. I need to save her. I can't let an innocent die because of me.

I was about to say something even mukti said "manik your blood group is also AB+ve right?" Then it struck me. I am also an AB+ve. I can also give my blood.

I turned towards the doctor with hope in my eyes and he nodded his head with a smile.

After going through tests and making sure my blood was suitable for pari, doctors were now inserting the IV drip with the blood bag, doctor turned towards us and said "well Mr. Malhotra, your wife is out of danger now and will regain her consciousness in few hours. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to check few other patients too." And with that said, the doc went outside.

I looked at the time and it was nearly midnight so u turned towards my friends and said "guys you guys go back to the mansion, have dinner, take some rest I'll stay here."

They just nodded and left half heartedly. I looked back at pari who was lying lifeless looking pale on the hospital bed.

I sighed and sat on the couch present there and started doing some mafia business work. I didn't notice when my eyes dropped and I slept.

---×----

I was woken up with little cries and whimpers. I frowned and looked in front of me and saw pari crying in her sleep murmuring something.

I went upto her and kept my ear close to her mouth and tried listening. She was muttering something like no mom dad please.

Suddenly she started thrashing her arms around as If protecting herself. It looked like she could get a panick attack.

I didn't have a choice but to hug her and whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

After about 10 minutes of calming her down, I felt her breathing getting to normal and I looked down to see her sleeping.

I tried lying her down and going to the couch but as soon as I tried detaching myself from her, her grip on me tightened. So I didn't have a choice but to sleep next to her.

Unknown to him, a pair of evil eyes were looking at the couple sleeping peacefully in each other's arms with sheer hatred. The pair of eyes didn't like the look of peace in manik's eyes. After devising the plan, the person who the eyes belonged too, left the couple be to give them according to the person last moments of peace.
