his strength

...Preet...
( a week later)
I was casually wandering around in Malhotra mansion when the landline rang I being nearest to it picked it up at once.

"Hello Ma'am, I am calling from City hospital, London am I talking to Mr. Kabir Malhotra's family?"

I grew worried.

"Yes how can I help you?" I replied.

"PREET?" She inquired.

"Ashlyn?" I confirmed

"What are you doing there?" She questioned, well Ashlyn was my friend back in London we worked in the same hospital. She was a senior doctor while I was an intern but we were great together.

"Forget that tell me what happened Kabir is fine right?" I questioned, curiosity getting the best of me.

"I am scared not."

"What happened?"

"He met with an accident, major injuries."

"oh my god. Ashlyn listen to me do not I repeat do not call here again, any emergency call back on my phone. I am taking the next flight and coming until then please do not call back here." I pleaded.

"WHY?"

"Just do as I say and do not call here again."
With that I kept the phone back and hurriedly made my way to home.
As soon as I reached home I packed my necessary items as I had my clothes back in my flat in London.

I quickly called up Aryan and informed everything to him. He was persistent to come along but I asked him to stay here in case required. I did not inform Meera maa and Papa as I knew Meera Maa had Blood Pressure problem while papa too had a bypass recently.

Within next 20 minutes I booked my flight tickets and left for the airport.

*12 hours later*

As soon as I landed back in London I called Varun up. Varun is another one of my friend.

"Hey V where are you?" I asked.

"On the way home."

"Can you pick me up from the airport in an hour? I am at the immigration." I enquired.

"You were about to come after 2 weeks right then?" He asked genuinely worried.

"Just pick me up."

"Okay I'll be there in 45." And with that I hung the phone and messaged Aryan to let him know I reached.
I was out in an hour and as promised Varun was there waiting for me.

On the way to the hospital I told him everything and he assured me that everything will be fine.
We reached the Hospital and I ran towards the reception.

"Kabir Malhotra."

"Hey Preet." The receptionist greeted me.

"Kabir Malhotra lizzie."

"Room 201. He has the hospital on their toes."
I knew Lizzie wasn't lying Kabir was hell capable of that.

I hurriedly made my way to his room. I could hear things being crashed down. The doctor, nurse and the ward boys were trying to calm him down.

"Ashlyn." I called out.

"Preet thank God you are here. He is out of control right from the time he got to know that he cannot move his right hand any more."

"What?" I questioned horrified.

"Yes, he is suffering from partial paralysis, his right hand nerve cells have been crushed in the accident. He hasn't taken the news well. He was unconscious for the last two days." Ashlyn made me aware of the circumstances. I was hell scared and worried but right now I had to be strong. I had to be his strength. I wiped my tears away and pushed the door open.
His room was fully messed, his left hand bleeding from all the thrashing he had done. He was still throwing things.

I called him to bring him out of his trance but I was ignored. I tried again.

"Kabir" I shouted and for once he looked up. He saw me and then broke down falling on his knees, I quickly ran up to him. I cupped his face and made him look at me but still his eyes were casted downwards.

I hugged him tightly, he struggled to get away. Kabir was never the one to show his weak side to anyone.
After a lot of struggling, he let it be and hugged be back but only with his left hand around my waist, his face hidden in the crook of my neck. I patted his back to calm him down. I kept murmuring It's okay while on the other hand I too had no idea what I would do?

After a lot of pleadings I got him back to his bed and made him sleep. Only after he slept I bandaged his hands and cleaned the room. I wasn't aware of the fact that I too was crying until now. I walked out to Ashlyn's cabin.
She saw me and gave me a weak smile.
"How is he doing?" She asked.

"It's bad."

"It was worse before you came."

Later Ashlyn gave me the whole case study and I asked her to let me handle this case and she readily agreed I signed all the hospital documents for authority.

I returned to Kabir's room and called Aryan to let him know about the situation.
