Saachi

"Saachi, pass me my jacket", Yuvraj Ji said buttoning up his shirt. He was going out of station for a business conference and I was feeling very bad. I don't want to stay alone.

I don't like to stay alone.

He looked at me from the mirror as I was busy staring at him.

"Jacket?", He asked to which I nodded before turning and walking to the bed. I picked his jacket and looked at it for a second. Can I just hide it somewhere? But I don't want to come between his courier.

I felt his arms wrapping around my arms as I sighed before leaning back.

"Why are you looking so pale?", He asked me as I sniffed.

"Saachi?", He asked looking at me as I snuggled more in his arms not wanting him to see me cry.

He made me turn to him as I immediately hugged him sobbing on his chest.

"Why are you crying, Saachi?", He asked caressing my hair. I must be looking so irritating right now.

"I will miss you. I am not habitual of staying alone", I said in a small voice.

"I will call you every day", He told me.

"It's not enough. I can't even sleep alone", I told him playing with the buttons of his shirt.

"You are ruining my shirt you know", He said as I pulled back wiping my tears. He cupped my face looking into my eyes.

"You don't have to cry, Jaan. I would be back before you know", He told me as I nodded sniffing as he hugged me close to his heart.

"Alright aren't you going to see me off till the gate", He said making me look up in his eyes and wiped my tears.

"Now smile. I don't like tears in your eyes", He told me as I nodded.

"I would wait for you", I told him making him smile.

We moved towards the door as Bhai was already in the living room all ready to accompany Yuvraj Ji. 

"Are you guys done with your romance? We are getting late here", He said in irritation.

"Shut up you single man don't act jealous", Dadi Sa said smacking his head making him whine.

"Take care", Yuvraj Ji whispered in my ears as I nodded. They moved towards the door as I waved at them. Yuvraj Ji nodded before getting inside the car and Bhai followed him. 

I felt like my heart was dropping. I have never felt like this. Oh god please keep him safe.

"Come on Saachi. Let's go inside. We would watch some new serial", Dadi Sa said as I nodded and followed her giving a last look to the driveway.

It had been two days since Yuvraj Ji left. He didn't even call once. It's like he just disappeared. Dadi Sa is also not knowing where he is but according to her he is absolutely fine but a strange fear was enveloping my heart. I spend hours praying for his well-being but still, I feel something very wrong is going on.

As time is passing by the fear is only increasing instead of decreasing.

"Saachi Have your food", Dadi Sa said as I stood up from the temple area after praying again. I looked at the closed doors. Dadi Sa specifically asked me to never open them at night alone. 

"Dadi Sa can I have it later. I am not feeling any appetite", I told her biting my lips.

"Rubbish. You didn't even have your lunch properly", She told me glaring at me. I feel really tired. My heart is very heavy at this moment.

"They would be fine Saachi", She said with a hard look. 

"I am feeling very heavy in my heart", I told her.

"Honestly speaking I am feeling weird as well. Believe in God", She said making me feel worse.

"I am not feeling sleepy at this moment. I will have food after some time. Please Dadi Sa", I begged her as she sighed before nodding.

She had her food and then went to her room as I kept on pacing around in the hall as Dadi Sa's phone started ringing. She left it here only. I picked it up to check who it was at this time. Should I wake her up at this time?

She thought as Aarya's name flashed on the screen. She frowned before picking up the call and the words made her froze in her place.

"Dadi Sa Yuvraj is shot. He is bleeding. I am very scared. Doctors are saying his condition is critical", He said as she felt her heart-stopping.

"Dadi Sa?", She heard him crying as her voice got stuck in her throat.

"Where is he?", She asked him as a lone tear fall down her eyes.

"Bhabhi?", He asked fearing her reaction.

"Where is he, Bhai?", She asked again feeling her body shivering with terror.

"Galaxy Hospital", He whispered as the other line got dead immediately. She ran upstairs to Dadi Sa's room and knocked rapidly. She didn't know what else she could do. Dadi Sa came out with an irritated look on her face. Her expressions changed immediately as she found Saachi crying badly.

"Da... Dadi Sa... He is", She sobbed as Dadi Sa held her shoulders fearing her next words.

"What happened, Saachi?", She asked Saachi cupping her face.

"Yuvraj Ji...", She took a deep breath as more tears fall down her eyes.

"Yuvraj Ji is in hospital", She said in a small voice as Dadi Sa's hold on her shoulder's immediately loosened. Tears started falling down her aged eyes. She knew this revenge is going to cost him a lot. He is her only grandson. The only reason for her living. She somehow survived the death of her son and daughter-in-law but not Yuvraj now. Her fragile heart couldn't take this.

"Let's go Saachi", She told her looking at her innocent daughter-in-law. She needed to have control over her emotions.

She called the driver and asked Saachi to bring food and clothing required there. Saachi was barely herself. It was like she was shot rather than her husband. She cursed herself for not stopping him that day. He won't have ever denied her. He had never denied her.

She looked up at the sky clutching the Krishna locket she had in her neck. Constantly chanting the prayers to keep her husband alright in her mind.

Dadi Sa holds her hand tightly like a small child as she entered the hospital with a hard look on her face. They approached the receptionist who was on a call at the moment.

"Yuvraj Singh Rathore", Dadi Sa asked for the name. The girl nodded before checking for the name on her computer.

"Ma'am it's ICU on the third floor. And please don't make the place crowded. The only one having a close relationship with him should be around his room", She told Dadi Sa looking at the girl beside her who looked least bothered for the whole incident. She was numb. Her body denied responding to anything. She was just holding her chudda(wedding bangles) trying to make her believe he was fine. He had to be fine. He told her he won't let her go away with him.

But again he told her that he won't let her go but he can leave her. What if he?

No... He couldn't. She thought as her lips started shivering.

"Everybody present here is the closest to Yuvraj", Dadi Sa said in a hard voice. She held Saachi's hands again and moved towards the lift. She could totally understand her condition. She could see her young self in her at that moment.

She begged for her husband's life like this only to her god 20 years ago but nothing worked. At last, her husband left her taking the promise of taking care of everyone after him and she is living till this date to accomplish this promise only. Because Devyani Rathore died that day with her husband only. The one who took her son's and daughter-in-law's death strongly was not her. It was the wife of late Adheraaj Rathore.

They moved towards the ICU where Aarya was already sitting with his head in his hands.

When he heard footsteps he raised his head up wiping his tears not wanting anyone else to see his tears. Aarya Chauhan is not at all weak at any moment. Even if he is stabbed he would not let out a single sound but watching his brother like this made him want to howl in pain.

"Dadi Sa", He whispered as he touched her feet who kept her hand on his head softly. Even when he was not her real grandson he never treated him as an outsider. He stood up before touching Saachi's feet. Though she was younger than him, she was his elder's brother wife, he had always respected her. 

Since the time she entered Yuvraj's life, she had taken the place of his mother in his life. Always taking care of when he was coming back home when he was having food, was he actually fine or showing off his fake smile.

He never wanted to give her pain but he unintentionally did.

He felt a shaky hand rest on his head as he stood up straight looking at her covered face and fisted fists.

"Bhabhi he would be fine", He told her as she walked towards the ICU room and looked inside through the small circular window. Her hold on her saree increased as she saw blood inside. She was herself a medical student and she knew what blood loss means. She was unable to see his face as the doctors were surrounding him from all sides. She knew one thing at that moment that she couldn't survive without him. She just didn't want him to be in her life, she needs him to be there to keep her sane.

It had been six hours since they were sitting outside. Doctors said that his health is critical. Everybody was silent looking down on the marble flooring waiting for good news.

Suddenly there was a lot of commotion outside the ICU. Nurse and doctors were rushing inside as if there was an emergency.

"What is happening?", Saachi asked stopping a nurse from running inside.

"The patient is losing too much blood. Every passing moment is getting more dangerous for his life", She told her as Saachi left her arms immediately looking inside.

"Bhabhi, calm down", Aarya said stopping her from falling down.

"Nothing would happen to him na? Bhai?", She asked him hopefully with tear-filled eyes. Aarya didn't say anything. She clutched his shirt before looking at the room where her husband was currently present.

"Bhai he would be fine? Right? He couldn't leave me. He had to be alright. After everything he did. After kidnapping me, After taking care of me. He can't leave like this. Ask him to get up, please. He would listen to you", She told him pointing at the room as she didn't care if she was having her veil anymore or not. Her tear-stained face was clearly visible now. Her red eyes acting as the mirror of the pain she was feeling at the moment. When he didn't answer she moved towards Dadi Sa.

"Dadi Sa, you tell him to get up, please. He would definitely listen to you", She said as Dadi Sa hugged her trying to control her sobs. 

She didn't deserve this Durga ma. She did nothing to deserve this. Dadi Sa thought.

Saachi sobbed on her chest. She felt it hard to breathe at the moment.

"Dadi Sa I can't live without him. I would die without him", She told her as her body felt limp in Dadi Sa's arms.

"Saachi", Dadi Sa called her shaking her body pulling her face away from her. 

"Aarya", she shouted as she saw her closed eyes. He immediately came by her side giving support to the unconscious body of Saachi. He called for a doctor as she was immediately taken to the room next to ICU.

"She won't be able to survive it if something happened to Yuvraj", Dadi Sa said.

"Dadi Sa Yuvraj asked me to tell you something before he passed out", Aarya said looking at the unconscious Saachi. Dadi Sa looked at him immediately knowing very well that it wasn't good what he was going to tell her.

Alright, I won't ask how the chapter was because I know it was bad. I can only say that Saachi and Yuvraj are made for each other. Also dying for love is easy but living the rest of life without that person is tougher. 

What do you think about Yuvraj's condition? Who shot him?

Okay, guys see you soon. I am very emotional at this moment. Till next time. Share your comments and vote if you think this chapter deserves it.
