Part 31

Kiyara was hesitating to go "What if she is still inside?"
She reached, guard opened the door for her. She went inside and saw only Ridan in room.

Kiyara : Where is Lisa?
Ridan : Come and sit you didn't had your breakfast properly. (said calmly)
Kiyara : I don't feel to have it, anyway it's time for your medicine. (Grim face)

Without looking at him she started walking towards bedside where medication was kept and went through the medical paper.

Ridan's eyes followed her every move, a sense of unease settling in the room like a heavy fog. He noticed her distant demeanor, her usual warmth replaced by a cold, calculated focus.

"What's wrong Kiyara?" (Concerned looking at her)
"It's nothing" (grim tone, without looking at him)
"Then why not have your breakfast first?"
"I said I'm not in mood, here take it" (passing a small bowl of medicine)

Ridan took the bowl and kept on over bed table. As Kiyara turned to walk away, Ridan's hand instinctively reached out to grasp hers,

"Are you angry with me?" he asked softly, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
"I never said that" (said without turning back)
"Kiyara....Lisa means noth....."

Before Ridan could explain further, Kiyara's phone rang, shattering the fragile moment between them.
She answered the call

"Yes Riyan?",  "Hmm...ok I'll be there"

She ended the call and looked at Ridan
Kiyara : I have to go
Ridan : Where? (concerned)
Kiyara : My friend needs me
Ridan : I need you too (not willing to let her go)

Kiyara's heartbeats raced, looking into each others eyes, she snapped herself back "I'll get back in sometime"
Ridan : Where you going?
Kiyara : Riyan my friends office it's 10mins away. (She grabbed her phone and handbag, was about to leave)

He didn't say anything, he didn't wanted her to go and wanted to clear things between them. He sensed she was angry on him.

Ridan : Be safe on your way.
Kiyara : Sure and take your medicine.

She went outside and told guard to take care of him
"Take care of sir, don't leave him till me or Sartaj comes back"
"Ok mam"

Kiyara reached Riyans office which was on 2nd floor.

Kiyara : Did you get information?
Riyan : Yes, when you called I instantly looked into it (passed on the laptop where information was written)
Kiyara : Ok let Sartaj come, he might know these attackers.

Sartaj entered Riyan's office in half hour "Hello mam, hello sir"
They both greated, Riyan signalled him to sit.

Kiyara : I called you to get to know who attacked Ridan last night. We can't let him stress on this part now (said to Sartaj)
He nodded

Kiyara passing him the laptop : Riyan have found the leader of those assailants. Do you know him?

Sartaj's face fell as he saw attackers face : Yes he is Malik.  Now I get it the attack yesterday wasn't just about eliminating a rival. It was personal. He saw Ridan's rise as a betrayal of everything they once stood for, and now he's determined to make him pay the ultimate price.

Kiyara was caught back hearing this.
Sartaj : It's not his first time he tried this before also but failed.  He took good opportunity again when sir was alone and made a move.

Tension arising in the room, their discussion went further on how to deal with him. It went on for further an hour searching and connecting dots.

Sartaj's phone rang, his expression turned grave as he answered the call
"Mam we need to get back in hospital, sir is not feeling well"
Kiyara : What happened? (tensed)
Sartaj : Don't know, the guard called and said Dr have come to examine him.

Kiyara looked at Riyan : We got to go will connect you on call.
Riyan : Ok and don't worry he will be fine.

Sartaj and Kiyara left in Sartaj's car, he drove fast and reached hospital. They immediately headed to his room where Dr Patel was examining him.

Kiyara's heart pounding with worry as she rushed to Ridan's side "Dr what happened?"

Dr : "It seems Ridan skipped his morning medication, which has led to complications. His LLP wounds have swollen, and he's developed an infection"

Kiyara saw the bowl of medicine which she gave him those medicines where there he didn't take it. Kiyara's heart sank as guilt washed over her
" I should have made sure he take it, it's all my fault."

Dr : Don't blame yourself, we have treated him and gave anaesthesia. He will wake up soon, call me as he wake up.
Kiyara : Yes dr

Dr left Sartaj went to see him off.

Kiyara sat on chair near him held his hand "I'm really sorry Ridan, I should have stayed here with you, it's all my fault" tears rolling down.
Every second was painful seeing Ridan like this.

Ridan's eyelids fluttered open after an hour the haze of anesthesia slowly lifting as he became aware of his surroundings. The first thing he saw was Kiyara, her tear-stained face hovering over him, her grip on his hand tight with worry.

With a gentle touch, Ridan reached up to brush away Kiyara's tears, his eyes soft with affection.
Kiyara's breath caught in her throat as she looked into Ridan's eyes, a mixture of relief and disbelief washing over her.

Kiyara : Are you ok? How are you feeling now?  (Touching his face) I'll call the Dr (stood up)
Ridan stopped her : I'm fine, just stay with me.
And stop crying see I'm alive.
Kiyara : Ofcourse you had to be, how can you be so careless haan? (shouting with concern)

Ridan didn't say anything he was happy Kiyara was here with him, nothing else he wanted.

Kiyara : Ans me why didn't you had your medicine? You kept this bowl as it is (showed him the bowl)
Ridan : You skipped your breakfast because of me right?
Kiyara : It...it's nothing like that.....but wait did you not take your medicine because I skipped my breakfast? (Stood up getting angry)
Ridan : I said you if you treat yourself well then only I'll treat myself.
