Teri Meri Aashiqui

Part 12

Gauri would have burst into the room, but Priyanka stopped her and held her back

Gauri: Priyanka chod mujhe, Di needs me

Priyanka: Bhaabi no

Gauri: Prinku you don't understand...

Priyanka: yes I do

Gauri looked up to her, eager to listen to her advice.

Priyanka: Anika Bhaabi ko support ki zaroorat hai. Agar aap ese andhar jaayenge toh kaun Anika Bhaabi ko sambhalega?

It took a while before Anika calmed down and relaxed. She was still fidgeting, but certainly more steady than before

Anika: Om?

Om: haan Bhaabi?

He was quick to respond to her, and she lifted her head to look at her

Anika: Shivaay ko pata hai?

Om: abhi nahi

With his next words, Om pulled out his phone from his pocket and forwarded it to Anika

Om: yeh leker unhe call karo

Anika: nahi, aur aap sabko bata de ki Shivaay ko kuch maat bol

Om: lekin...

Anika: nahi Om

Her quick reply cut him mid sentence, and he gave her a glass of water. When Anika tried to take the cup, she realised her hand was in a cast.

Om: the bones in your hand were crushed in the fall. Surgery mein repair kiya lekin vact ke saath aur improvement hoga. Ek chota sa cut hai aapke forehead per, and that's been sutured up

The glass was raised to her lips, and Anika took a few sips of the water before looking towards the door

Anika: Gauri? Priyanka?

Om noticed her teary face and nodded negatively, signalling her to wipe her eyes. Gauri did that, and rushed to hug her sister

Gauri: aap theek ho?

Anika: nahi, lekin I'll be fine

Gauri: Radhika was giving me a hard time, isi liye late aayi

Priyanka soon followed in

Priyanka: kohi dard hai Bhaabi?

Anika: itna nahi

Priyanka: Dr Roy kuch dehr mein aayegi, discharge papers ke saath. Aap ghar aa sakte lekin bohot rest karna hoga aapko

Anika: kis kis ko pata hai?

Gauri: hum teeno, Rudra aur Bhavya. Dadi kal aari hogi, lekin Rudra ne bataya nahi.

Anika hummed in response, and Priyanka's pager buzzed.

Priyanka: mujhe jaana hai, mere patient ka surgery hai abhi

Om: theek hai, jaaye

Priyanka took their leave and hurried away.

Gauri: aapko kuch khaane ke liye chahiye? Aloo Puri yah kuch aur?

Anika: kuch nahi

Gauri looked up to Om.

Gauri: kuch toh chahiye hoga naa?

Anika: no

Gauri: I'll go see where the doctor is

She caught hold of a nurse outside the room, and asked for a time. The nurse replied saying the doctor would get to them in another hour or so.
