ShivOmRu : A Bond Beyond Brotherhood

#53

"Heart attack." Annika concluded timidly. "Bhavya, ambulance bulao." ("Bhavya, call the ambulance.")

Bhavya nodded and went to call the ambulance service.

Just then Tej descended the stairs and stared at Shivaay with wide eyes.

"Shivaay ko kya hua ?" ("What happened to Shivaay ?") Tej asked and was taking steps towards Shivaay when Annika's voice and stance made him stop in his tracks.

"Wahi ruk jayiye." ("Stay where you are.") Annika growled with tears as she protectively stood between Tej and Shivaay. "Mein apka saaya bhi mere Shivaay pe nahi padne dungi, samjhe aap ‽" ("I won't even let your wicked shadow fall on my Shivaay, understand ‽")

Tej looked away from Annika but stayed glued to his place.

Om, who had noticed Tej and Annika's lil fall out, was about to ask what was the matter between them but before he could do that, Bhavya ran towards them.

"Ambulance is here." Bhavya informed.

After that neither Annika got time to explain everything to OmRu nor Om got time to ask what was wrong between Tej and Annika.

Shivaay was wheeled inside the operation theatre as soon as he reached the hospital.

Annika being a doctor, she was allowed into the operation theatre with Shivaay.

Annika didn't operate Shivaay but she stayed with him and supervised the operation cause she didn't wish to take any chances with her love.

"O." Rudy whispered feebly. "Bhaiya.." He weeped.

Om wiped his own tears and sat beside his baby brother.

"He'll be fine." Om assured softly as he rubbed Rudy's back comfortingly.

"Mein bhaiya ke bina nahi jee sakta." ("I cannot live without bhaiya.") Rudy cried. "Bhaiya ko thik hona hi hoga." ("Bhaiya has to get well soon.")

"Same here, Rudy." Om admitted. "Don't worry, Bhaiya jaldi se thik ho jayenge." ("Don't worry, Bhaiya will be alright soon.")

"Promise ?" Rudy whimpered.

"Promise." Om gave a small smile.

The conversation between OmRu was being witnessed by Tej who was sitting just across from them on the either side of the corridor in the hospital.

Tej felt bad to see OmRu so vulnerable like this. Maybe he shouldn't have asked Shivaay to leave the house and his recently reunited family.

Tej sighed.

It was anyway too late to do anything.

Tej just wished that Shivaay got well soon.

Just then Prinku came running towards OmRu.

"O bhaiya, Shivaay bhaiya ko kya hua ?" ("O bhaiya, what happened to Shivaay bhaiya ?") Prinku asked with tears spilling out of her eyes.

"Prinku, bhai ko heart attack aaya hai." ("Prinku, bhai has suffered an heart attack.") Om sighed.

"What ?" Priyanka gulped as more tears made their way out of her eyes.

"Prinku." Om mumbled softly and stood up to take his baby sister in a hug. "He'll be fine." Om assured as he rubbed his baby sister's back soothingly.
