Confused? 

Well this was happening in life grace hospital in New York.

This means...

Press conference.

Manik - Each and every question will be answered but please maintain your dignity to your work as well as the hospital. Stop making a chaos, we will answer your questions one by one and remember, DON'T  CROSS YOUR BORDERS.

Reporter - Doctor, why was Nandani Murthy brought to New York?

Manik - Because her case is no more a personal case, the nation is involved, the government is involved and hence its for the best interest of her to be treated with the best of equipments,  doctors and just best of everything.

Reporter - who is in charge of her?  Is it you or someone else?

Manik- in charge? None, we are a group of 7 doctors which includes me her neurosurgeon, Mukti Vardhan general surgeon , Cabir Dhawan orthopedic, Alya Vedant gynaecologist surgeon, Dhruv Vedant - another General surgeon, Abhimanyu Singh - plastic surgeon and the one who is in charge of all 6 of us is Dr Raj Malhotra   the Chief of Surgery.

Reporter - That's the best team for this girl ...

Manik - Excuse me for interrupting but the girl you are talking about has a name and thats 'DR NANDANI MURTHY' ,and we aren't the best team until we give our best.

Reporter - sorry doctor,can you brief us about her condition.

Manik - She is alive.

Reporter - Thats a smart answer doctor but details...

Manik - You said brief, next question please.

Reporter - What about the expenses?

Manik - As said earlier, this case is not of an individual, there is the whole nation involved and hence all the expenses is sorted by the Indian government. The girl inside the hospital, is a fighter , someone who because of her smartness and calmness has given a lot to India, the details of which you already know as much as we do, and all we can do is wait. Wait for her to tell her story.

Reporter - Will she live? 

Manik stood in his place, not knowing what to say. This particular question had caught his breath in his throat and all of a sudden he was blank.
Raj Malhotra came to the rescue as soon as he saw Manik.

Raj - We are doctors and all we want to do is to keep our patient alive , and we will try our best that she lives.

Reporter - Was there any kind of sexual abuse?  And is she is temporary coma?

This time it was Manik who replied almost immediately after the question

Manik - No there wasn't ,and no she isn't in temporary coma.

Reporter - Is it true that none of her relatives arrived? And that she woke up once?

Manik - That's it for today. Thank you. We have our patient to attend and take care of .

Introducing characters.

Doctor Cabir Dhawan

Cabir is a person whom every hospital begs to make him a part of it. He is the best at what he does and its not just his profession but he himself is a charmer. Someone who will make you comfortable almost instantly, Someone who will stand out in between hundreds of people that's how he was. He wasn't like a star, he was the moon with different shades and shapes but a constant in your life.
Manik's one and only best friend, more like his twin brother.

Orthopedic surgeon .

Doctor Alya Vedant - Gynaecologist  married to Dr Dhruv Vedant. Alya is what people call beauty with brains. She is sweet but when it comes to her work, she does not see anything.

Dr Dhruv Vedant - General Surgeon, Husband of Alya Vedant .Dhruv is someone who will be a silent spectator of everything but when he speaks , its  more valuable than anyone. He takes time to settle with new people, but once he does, he is charmer.

Dr Abhimanyu Singh - Plastic surgeon. Abhimanyu is someone who feels things in a deeper level,  his hands have magic when he operates and is a complete sweetheart. He wears a smile always and remembers almost every patient of his. And is in great demand.

Dr Mukti Vardhan - General surgeon

Mukti is the go to person, being a general surgeon, her hands works like a machine and she spreads positivity wherever she goes.

Dr Raj Malhotra, husband of Nyonika Malhotra and Father of Manik Malhotra, head of surgery .
He is what keeps the hospital on the toes always, when it comes to HIS hospital (no he does not own it, but he has given 30 years to the hospital) he can not accept any mistake. Every patient is the first priority.  He is strict when it comes to hospital but is the complete opposite at home. He is very professional and never favours Manik, not that Manik asks for it . He is what people say, the life of hospital.

And well let's introduce Manik again.

If Raj Malhotra is the mind of the hospital, he is the heart of it.  ❤

When these seven made their way back to the hospital there was this unsaid promise, promise to do everything in their power to keep Nandini alive.

This was hands down going to be the most difficult case.

Walking together side by side, With Raj Malhotra leading, they gave a look to each other,  a look that said

All for one, one for all .

Let the story begin...

"What if once upon a time never existed,
what if the memories are just dreams you see,
Dreams that love nightmares.
Would you still want to watch it every night ?"

Confused?

Irritated?

Pissed?

....

Apologies for not being able to update. Will try to update the next part asap.

The real story begins now.

Till then keep breathing.
