Chapter #8

Anamika and Vineet celebrate Vineet's birthday and spend time together. It has happened in quite a long time that they have spent a peaceful dinner date and some romantic time together.

Vineet is lying on the bed on his back, while Anamika is lying beside him, her head on his chest and one arm around him. While, Vineet has his one arm wrapped around him and he's holding her other hand with his. He's smearing her head while she is intently hearing the thumping of his heartbeat. The beautiful moment is broken with the ring of the phone. They grimace at the obstacle, but It's Anamika's phone. She picks it up and is shocked to hear what the caller has to say. She tells them that she will reach in thirty minutes and disconnects the call.

She hops down the bed and Vineet looks at her.

" What happened?" he asks.

"Vineet! Please get ready. We need to go to the City Hospital." Anamika says.

"What's the problem?" he asks.

"Ishika met with an accident. I guess her phone had my number. So the doctor called me. Let's go!". Anamika says worriedly.

" She's alone here, right?" Vineet asks as he gets down the bed and they get ready.

"Yes! That's why I am worried. She is one cheerful girl. Don't know what happened. I hope she's not hurt much." She says.

Vineet consoles her and then they leave the house. Vineet has sent his driver home, so he takes his car and they leave for the hospital.

City Hospital

Anamika and Vineet reach the hospital and Anamika enquires about the case. She is directed towards the emergency ward. The doctor comes out of the ward and asks about Anamika while she moves forward and asks about Ishika.

"Doctor, how's she?? I hope she is not hurt badly." she asks.

" She is hurt on the head, Mrs Anamika. Exact condition will be revealed once she gains consciousness." The doctor says.

Anamika nods and the doctor excuses himself. Vineet follows the doctor and finishes the formality while Anamika watches as Ishika is shifted into a personal room. Watching her on the bed is painful for Anamika. She's hurt badly on her head it seems. They have to wait until she get conscious again. Anamika hopes she'd be fine. Her trance is broken when Vineet comes by her side.

"Relax, she will be fine." Vineet says.

"I don't know, Vineet. I am not feeling good. I hope she gets fine soon." Anamika sighs.

Anamika is impressed with Ishika since day one. She likes her sense of humor, her way of working and also her excitement whenever Vineet or Anamika are around her. For Anamika, Ishika is no less than a little sister. She might not express it, but Anamika has started to trust Ishika, a little more than other staff. Anamika remembers the excitement with which ishika gave gifts to her for Vineet. And now, at the moment, she's lying unconscious. Anamika holds on Vineet's hands,who consoles her. He knows that Anamika has a sweet bond with all of her employees and team mates, and Ishika's special for her.

Meanwhile the doctor says that they can wait in the room. They enter in, Anamika moves towards Ishika and smears her head softly. She hopes that the girl will wake up with the warm touch. But she doesn't. She sits on the stool beside the bed and keeps moving fingers in her hair. She feels a soothe doing this, that she has never felt.

She doesn't know when she fell asleep, but a movement breaks her sleep. She looks up and finds movement in Ishika's fingers, which she is holding. A smile appears on her face.

"Vineet! Call the doctor." she says.

Vineet wakes up from his slumber. Anamika tells him that ishika is getting conscious. He calls the doctor and he arrives to check her up. Meanwhile, Ishika opens her eyes. The doctor checks her up and looks at Ishika.

" How are you feeling, Miss Ishika ?" the doctor asks.

But she doesn't respond. She looks around blankly. It seems like she's trying to register her surroundings. The doctor keeps his hand on her shoulder, but Ishika her jerks it.

"Don't... Don't touch." she shouts at the doctor.

" Stay away!! You've taken away my mom? Now what you want!! Just go!" she shouts angrily.

Her body is shaking and as Anamika tries to hold her hand, she jerks her as well. Even the doctor is shocked. Ishika is continuously blabbering, she is asking someone to go, but there's no one. All the time, she's taking her mom's name. Has the accident hurt her nerves that has a bad effect on her. Vineet looks at him.

" Doctor, why is she behaving like this?" Vineet asks.

" Has something happened with her?" the doctor asks.

"No doctor! She's a happy girl. Infact, yesterday, she gave me two parcels for my husband. I was shocked when I got the call. Because she's always happy. I couldn't believe it". Anamika says as she sees ishika, and the nurse who's trying to give her sedative.

The doctor tends to think. He looks at Vineet and Anamika.

"Something has happened with her. Otherwise she won't have behaved like this. Can you ask her family?" the doctor asks.

Anamika remembers that Ishika has given her a number of her home. She dials it and talks for a few minutes. The family, her brother tells that her mom has died and it has a bad effect on Ishika. Anamika is shocked to learn that ishika got the news some time before she met the accident. She tells the same to the doctor, who after checking the reports tell something that leaves both Anamika and Vineet shocked.
