It's been more than one hour, Shehnaaz had been taken inside the OT and Sidharth sitting outside the room, glancing it time to time.
This area of the hospital was a little scheduled. They had entered the hospital from back gate and one or two people could be seen other than them, there hardly.
He has not left the place even for a minute. His restless heart wanted peace which only she could give, her being safe, all fine would give.
Her being shot and then falling down, was the only scene flashing in front of his eyes time and again.
If there would have been someone other than Jay at that place, Sidharth would have killed him upto then.
He knew that he was going weak for her, but he himself was not able to control. Him doing care for someone was making surprise himself as well but he had developed feelings for that someone.
Not able to cope up with the things going on in his head, he thumped his hand willingly on the bench, he was sitting to let out his frustration.
It seemed like it was not enough pain he had to bear that day. Along with the invisible pain he was feeling in his heart, he also had to bear physical pain.
His hand hit with an iron nail on the bench making it bleed in seconds.
Realising blood in his hand, he jerked it harshly to get rid of it but it didn't made any difference.
That pain felt nothing to him. His whole body was numb at that moment to feel any kind of pain.
The nail had pierced through the palm of his right hand , tearing his skin apart but in frustration and anger, he pulled his hand back way too harshly that made his hand bleed more making the wound deeper.
But he did not care for himself. How could he?
When her wounds were giving him more pain than his own..
The man who came with them, Sachin, was watching all this and he was not able to take all this happening with his boss.
Sidharth's all men always had respected him very much. They were very loyal to him and could not withstand anything against him.
The reason was simple that Sidharth always had made feel like family. There were times , when Sidharth had shouted on them, scolded them , talked rudely but even then took care of their every needs.
Their families were also taken care and he did not let any of them get harmed due to their work.
What if he did not had his own family, but these people were also not less than that.
Their loyalty had made Sidharth develop immense trust on them and there wasn't a single chance he had regretted trusting them.
They all can give up their lives for him but can't betray him.
Sachin made slow steps towards Sidharth fearing if he would scold him, but his bleeding hand had caught his attention.
"Boss, hath pe lagi hai, patti kara lo" he said slowly but Sidharth heard it.
"Mai nurse ko bulata hu" he immediately ran to call for a nurse without waiting for his answer.
A nurse came and took his hand to bandaid it, as instructed by Sachin, but Sidharth pulled it back right after.
"Kara lo patti , infection ho jayega" he again requested but Sidharth kept a straight face.
" I don't need it " feeling him looking at him with hope, Sidharth simply denied.
"You need it, bhai" taking Sidharth's hand in his own hands,Sachin helped him getting bandaged.
This time Sidharth did not opposed, him saying "bhai" made him accept his demand.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The door of operation theatre opened and the doctor came out.
Removing her coat, she took it in her hands and moved towards Sidharth who also had stood up seeing her coming.
" She is fine, right?" Before doctor could say anything, Sidharth asked her about Shehnaaz being alright.
" There is nothing to worry about. Goli uski thigh ko chukar nikli hai.. agar andar chali jaati to dikkat hoti.
Wounds hai, blood loss bhi kaafi ho gaya hai, she needs care." The doctor said politely while Sidharth took a deep sigh of relief.
Now he could feel his heart beats getting normal and his breaths getting back.
Her being safe, all that is what he needed.
"Sidharth" the doctor called him softly, putting her hand on his shoulder. She was middle aged woman and knew Sidharth from before.
Sidharth looked at her waiting her to say something.
"You okay?" She asked as she had seen him very worried for the girl inside, she didn't knew.
"Hmm..kisi ko pata nahi chalna chahiye, yeh yaha hai aur ise mai lekar aaya hu" nodding at the lady, he made her take care of the mishappenings that could happen, due to his presence there.
This was a regular place for him.
Whenever Sidharth or Jay or any other of their team get wounded or hurt, it was the place where they were treated and this was the doctor who would treat them.
The lady and her husband, who was also a doctor in same hospital had been treating them from starting and were trustworthy.
This was the reason, Sidharth made her treat Shehnaaz.
"Is she conscious?" Sidharth asked the lady who nodded her head in no.
"Medicines ke effect se abhi so rahi hai, lekin jaldi uth jayegi." She told him politely.
"She needs rest for atleast two weeks from now. Complete rest. Thodi movements kar sakti hai but zyada nahi.ok." he nodded his head at her getting everything Shehnaaz wanted to do get fine.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Kaam hua?"Standing in front of a balcony with his one hand placed at the railing, Sidharth asked the other person on the call.
"Ho gaya. Kaha hai tu?" The other person spoke.
"Wahi jaha apan tuti haddiyan judwane aate hai. Aaja tu.." Sidharth answered playfully as his mood was a little better and he was feeling light as his tension was reduced now.
Cutting the call, Sidharth moved towards the room in which there was Shehnaaz.
Finally he was going to see her, in a better condition. The fact itself was making him relieved.
Pushing the door, he entered in the room. There she was, on the bed, in hospital clothes with her eyes closed.
Inhaling a long breath, he moved towards her without making any noise. Standing beside her, he looked at her face which had turned pale.
The glow of her face was missing.
Leaning towards her, Sidharth put his palm on her cheek and placed his lips on her forehead.
He kept his lips still for a while, lingering on her forehead and then moved back.
Taking a stool, he kept it beside her bed. Taking her one hand in his, he sat on the stool.
"Kya kar rahi ho tum mujhe. Kyu baar baar tumhare kareeb aa rha hu?" he whispered slowly looking at her.
Her eyes flickered a little making him know she is getting consciousness.
He softly put her hand back on her stomach and moved a little back waiting her to open her eyes.
She slowly opened her eyes and blink them rapidly to adjust to the sudden exposure to lights.
She tilted her head and moved her eyes around the room to gather where she was exactly and why was she there.
Sidharth eyes kept looking at her observing her movements.
She closed her eyes for a moment and the next thing flashed in front her eyes was Sidharth almost getting shot.
She opened her eyes in a jerk. She had not noticed Sidharth being near her till now. His presence was unknown to her.
"Sidharth" she whispered slowly as her voice was not coming out of her mouth. An unknown fear started engulfing her.
The sudden change in her expressions made him startled. He saw her eyes welling up while her lips saying something which couldn't reach his ears.
She tried to get up putting her weight on her elbows and winced the next second feeling immense pain in her leg.
"Kya kar rahi ho, you ok?" Hearing her wincing, Sidharth was instantly at her side.
He holded her one hand in his hand while placed the other on her cheek.
Him standing alright in front of her eyes, made a take a relieved breath.
A soft smile came on her lips looking at him.
"Tum thik ho?" Placing her hand on his that was on her cheek, she asked him about him.
This question made Sidharth look at her in surprise.
She was the one who got hit with the bullet, she was bleeding, she was in pain and even then she is asking him if he is alright.
She was herself in pain but she was more concerned about his safety.
His wounded hand which was dressed caught her attention to which she looked at him with moist eyes.
"Ye..ye kya hua hai" she was panicking seeing his wounds.
This made Sidharth adore her more.
The care he always run from, she was giving him.
She was trying to soothe him when she herself was in pain.
"Sshh..kuch ni hua hai. Just a small wound. You need to relax,hmm" caressing her cheek with his hand, his words made her relieved.
Taking his hand back, Sidharth moved a little back but Shehnaaz quickly grabbed his hand stopping him.
"Don't leave me alone , please" she requested him to stay with her while her eyes were showing that she was trying hard not to cry.
"Kahi nahi ja raha baby. Yahi hu. Relax" kissing her head softly he assured her. She was getting way too emotional and she was fearing something and he could sense her.
Taking her hand in his, he set on the stool. With his other hand, he took out his phone and dialled his man's number who was standing outside the room.
"Ek kaam kar. Doctor ko bhej yaha aur Shehnaaz ke saare reports lele." Disconnecting the call, he looked at her who was already looking at him.
Her eyes were a little swelled and she needed to give rest to them.
"Close your eyes Shehnaaz. They need rest." Keeping his hand on her eyes, he himself closed them before she could do. He wanted to shower all his care on her.
She had saved him, this made him realize that his life matter to someone and the things he was doing were the least he could do for her for saving his life.
She needed care and he wanted to give her , his care. What else was needed?
Nothing !!
