Ishq Bulavaa💓

49: News is OUT

“Ahaan tumhe ghar jaana hai”

“Court se ghar chala jaunga” replies in a nonchalant tone

“Court jaane ki zaroorat nahi hai” says controlling her anger

“Kya matlab?”his shock was evident on his face

“Case postponed hai, vaibhav missing hai, ashu hospitalized hai so no point in the hearing” declares

“Oh” suddenly his face changed colors

“Are you okay ahaan? You don’t seem alright?”

“I am not good, but I will be better” forces a smile

“What’s wrong ahaan? You came hours later of ashu being admitted? Everything good?”

“Kaam tha ishqi, leave that” replies without looking at her

“Kaam? Tum apne cricket tour mai apna availability cancel karne ke liye tayyar the kuch minute pehle and tumhe kaam hai karke bologe tho mai maan jaungi? What’s wrong ahaan?”

“Leave that ishqi, you trust me right?” there was silence at the other end, she wanted to scream out yes but didn’t

“Oh right, we might not be at that phase right? You still don’t trust me?” it unknowingly turned out to be harsh

“It’s not like what you think ahaan, I tru..., he cuts her in between

“When you don’t mean it don’t say it”

“Ahaan I don’t want this, especially now, I am trying to be strong please don’t do this” holds his hand

His eyes soften, he moves close to her and wraps his arms around her pulling her closer, sniffing her scent at that moment everything goes blank, her scent, the  presence nothing felt more comforting to him, he felt his shirt going wet.

The strong demure she held broke, the fact that ashu has been shot in front of her had brought back her memories, how strong she might look outside but inside deaths scared her, and when ashu was shot with 3 bullets, she was straight unconscious, 4 hours still no positive sign even the mere thought of anything happening to ashlesha was eating her up, she didn’t even waste a second when doctors had asked for her blood, she went ahead to donated her blood instead of anisha.

Seeing the family condition she maintained a strong armor, but his arms were always her strength and even her weekness, she didn’t shed a tear till now but now tears were falling uncontrollably he didn’t stop her tears but rubbed her back in a comforting manner, at a moment he felt stupid asking her that at this moment.

“I love you ishqi” mumbles slowly

“She is stable now, but still can’t say anything, need to keep under observation” the doctor

“Kya matlab can’t say anything? This is the best hospital in Delhi you are one of the best surgeon she should be fine right, ye can’t say anything kya hota hai?” Mr. Sachdev growls

“Mr. Sachdev calm down, this a hospital and it has it’s set of rules, and coming to your daughter she had 3 bullets in her body, it’s hard to take them out, and 2 of the bullets hit her rib cage, it broke her bones, 6 hours surgery karne ke liye ham pagal nahi hai,  if she responds in 24 hours well and good nahi tho she can slip into coma, I did my best baaki bhagwaan ke upar”

“Aap mujhe jaante nahi hai doctor mai kya kar sakta hun, agar meri beti ko kuch hua na

“Anil stop it, I am sorry doctor, thanks for all you have done, we will hope for the best” the doctor leaves, even karthik leaves in the other direction
