Sidharth tightened his grip on her hand as soon as he heard nurse's words because he didn't want to leave her alone, he wanted to spend more time with his moti. He wanted to be with her now and always.

He pleaded nurse through his eyes that give him some more time. Understanding his state of mind, she nodded positively and walked out of the room.

His eyes started getting moist with the thought that she will not wake up even today. Even today she won't talk to him. She will not hug him and kiss him today also and this was breaking him from inside.

He was longing for her attention. It's true that it's Shehnaz who always wants attention but there is also a truth that Sidharth is the biggest attention seeker than her. But now, he was not getting her attention.

Every morning he wakes up with the hope that the day will be better than yesterday, that he will get some good news but he only gets disappointment everyday.

But he never shows anyone that how hurt he is. He always hide his pain in front of everyone. But now, he is tired. He can't pretend anymore. He wants her to see how much he is going through. He wants her to see how much he is suffering, without her. 

He was missing the way she calls his name, the way she takes care of him, the way she Love him. He was missing everything about her, her voice, smile, innocence...everything. He was missing her. He was craving for her.

It has been two months since she is in coma. The day this accident happened, Shehnaz's gut feelings were saying that something is going to be happen. And anybody who knows her, can state the fact that her intuitions can never be wrong. That day she was afraid that she would lose something important. Bothered by those thoughts, she called Sidharth, who was out of town for shooting.

*Flashback*

"Sidhaaarth..." she whined over the phone.

"Han baby" he asked lovingly.

"Mujhe kuch acha nahi lag raha" she pouted.

"What happen baby?"

"Don't know why but mujhe aise lag raha hai jaise kuch peeche chootne wala hai"

Sensing her fear, he decided to distract her mind and said, "You know? An empty brain is a devil's work shop"

"Matlab?"

"Matlab yeh ki free logo ke pas kuch kaam toh hota nahi hai, bas faltu mein kuch bhi sochte rehte hain" saying this, he clicked his tongue.

"Hawww tujhe kya lagta hai main vehli hoon? Ja maine nahi baat karni tere se"

"Ab maine kya kiya sweetheart?" he asked innocently but didn't get any reply.

"Acha sun I love you.." she smiled but said nothing.

"Always and Forever.... Remember?"

"Hmm"

*Few hours later*

Shehbaz was doing some formalities in the reception area with trembling hands and a tear-filled face. He was impatiently waiting for Sidharth. As he knew that he once come, everything would be all right, even his sister, Shehnaz.

His thought came to halt when he felt a hand on his shoulder. As soon as he turned, he saw Sidharth, who was looking frightened and his eyes were only on Shehbaz's blood soaked shirt.

"Cho...chote" he whispered in a choked voice as he had no courage left to ask further.

Shehbaz hugged him and started crying while narrating how Shehnaz was feeling low and he decided to take her for movie to cheer her up. And that was his biggest mistake.

As their car exited the building gate, Shehnaz asked him to stop the car. Before he could ask anything, she slammed the door on his face as soon as the car stopped.

He saw her running towards the small girl who was standing on the middle of the road and trying to cross the road.

Shehnaz helped her to cross the road. A soft smile appeared on his lips seeing her helping nature. But soon his smiled turned into the frown when he saw her again going into the middle of road and saw her bending  down to pick something like jewellery.

He immedialtely got down from the car when he saw a car is approaching her at full speed. He started running towards her while alerting her. But before she could understand and react anything she was lying in the pool of blood.

*

Everyone was waiting for the doctor to come out of the Operation Theater. Shehnaz's mother was crying while her father was consoling her. Shehbaz was silently crying in the corner blaming himself for his sister's condition.

Sidharth was standing near the Operation Theater's gate with fear on his face. So many things were running into his mind and was constantly cursing himself that why he was not there with her.

His chain of thoughts broke when he saw doctor, coming out of OT. All of them gathered around doctor with the hopes in their eyes.

"Doctor...how's Shehnaz?" Sidharth asked eagrly.

"She is out danger but.." everyone was waiting for him to speak further, but when he spoke, ground slipped beneath under their feet.

"Sorry to say, but woh coma mein chali gayi hain"

Sidharth stumbled a step back. A lone tear escaped from his eyes. All gasped at the shocking revelation. They just could not believe their ears.

"When will she regain her conscious back?" Shehbaz asked with hopeful eyes.

Doctor pressed his lips tightly and sighed before speaking, "She may take a day, a month or even an year to wake up... I can't tell the exact time"

With that Shehnaz's mother started crying loudly and fell down. Everyone gathered around her. But there was only one person who stood silently without having any emotions and expressions on face. And that was Sidharth. He was numb listening to the doctor's words.

*

Sidharth's mother was gazing at him worriedly, who was sitting outside the ICU from the past one hour. He was totally numb and was not reacting anything. Also he hasn't even met Shehnaz yet.

'Why is he so silent? Why is there no emotion on his face?' These things were scaring her. After thinking for long, she finally decided to talk with him because she can't see him like this.

She gently touched his shoulder. Tears rolled down his cheeks as soon as he saw her and hugged her like a small child. He started sobbing. She gently stroked his hair and comforted him.

"No bache...shhh...no..don't cry. Everything will be alright soon. hmm?" she cupped his face and asked him to meet Shehnaz.

"Go beta meet her" he nodded negatively.

"Sab ne mil liya Shehnaz se, ek tu hi nahi mila abhi tak"

"I can't mom. I don't have courage. I can't... I can't"

"Aisa nahi kehte bacha... go, meet her. She needs you!" he looked at her while she nodded to go.

"And jab woh uthegi aur use pata chalega ki tu usse nahi mila tha toh woh tera jaloos nikal degi" she said and he chuckled sadly.

He got up from his seat and walked away from there. She smiled sadly watching his retreating figure. Her both of kids were suffering. She was unable to accept that the ever so bubbly Shehnaz who can't even stay a minute without talking, was in coma, where she could neither speak nor move.

*End of Flashback*

He wiped his tears and carefully placed Shehnaz's hand back on bed and kissed her on her forehead while mumbling 'Please come back to me baby'. His voice was cracking. And then looking at her one more time, he walked out of the hospital room.

Khud se phir yeh kiya wada
