Woh rang bhi kya rang hai
Milta na jo tere hoth ke rang se hubahu

Pragati was waiting in her ward when she heard the door open. She turned around and found Raghbir. He looked at her tensed expression and smiled. His smile contended her heart. Raghbir came near her and passed Pragati her medicines. Pragati ate them quietly..

Woh khushboo kya khushboo
Thehre na jo teri saanwari zulf ke rubaru

Raghbir - Vo.. Tumhari treatment shuru karte h.. Pragati try to stand... Uthne ki koshish karo araam se..

Pragati - Koi fayeda nahi hai mai nahi uth paaungi..

Raghbir - Koshish toh karo yaar.. Mai hu naa..

Pragati - Please mujhe pakre rehna.. Mai dheere se uthti hu..

Raghbir - Pakka.. (holds her hand) Utho..

Pragati tried getting up but failed and winced in pain.. A lone tear escaped from her eyes.. Raghbir instantly wiped it and then sat beside her..

Pragati - Maine kaha tha na..Pair par zara bhi pressure parta hai toh dard hota hai mujhe. Mai jhukne ki bhi koshish karti hu toh nerves khichate hai and it hurts..

Raghbir (sadly) - But try toh karna hoga na.. Agar tum koshish nahi karogi ko khud ke pairo par khadi kaise hogi..

Pragati - Par...

Raghbir - Don't worry mai hu naa.. Ek kaam karo.. Tum mere pair par apna pair rakho aur apne body ka weight mujhe par lagne do.. And try.. (stammering) I mean.. If you don't mind...

Tere aage ye duniya hai pheeki si
Mere bin tu na hogi kisi ki bhi

Pragati smiled in acceptance and slowly kept her feet on his.. Her hands round his neck. All the weight of her body was on him. Raghbir's arms were around her waist giving her support... Their closeness was giving her goosebumps.
For a second Pragati was not at all able to think about her pain. All that came into her mind was him.

Ab ye zaahir sar-e-aam hai, elaan hai

She tried hard not to blush. Her eyes fell on him.. Raghbir was constantly gazing at her face. He was so lost that he didn't even noticed that Pragati caught him staring her. As their eyes met, a smile crept on his face. Seeing his smile, Pragati was not able to control the blush that was visible on her face. She turned her head to hide the colour of her cheeks.
Raghbir got back to his senses and found her blushing. He didn't realised the reason but he knew there proximity was affecting her..

Jab tak jahaan mein subah shaam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu

Raghbir - Dheere dheere kar ke apne pairo par wazan daalo Pragati..

Pragati just nodded and tried...

After half an hour Raghbir made Pragati sit down on the bed and was about to leave.

Pragati - Ek minute.. (Raghbir turned back) Thank you..

Raghbir - Thank you.. (smiled and left behind a confused Pragati)

Agar ek minute bhi aur ruka hota na toh pata nahi kya kar baithta.. (flashes of Pragati smiling and blushing came to his mind) (while sitting on his chair) Yaar mai na tumhaare pyaar mein pagal ho gaya hu. Mujhe sirf tum dikhai deti ho Pragati.. Ab bas intezaar hai uss pal ka jab mai tumhe apne dil ki baat bataunga. I don't know tumhara kya jawaab hoga. Par meri koshish toh rahegi..

Pragati's pov.
Oh god ye mai kya kar rahi thi. Raghbir meri help kar rahe the aur mai.. Pagalo ki tarah blush kar rahi thi. Aaj tak kabhi bhi koi bhi ladke ke itne qareeb nahi gayi. Isiliye itni sharam aa rahi thi mujhe (remembers his smile) Lekin inme kuch th khaas hai. I mean his smile. Unki smile dekh kar bharosa ho jaata hai jaise sab theek ho jaayega.

Time passed slowly.. Praghbir got little close because Raghbir never wanted to hurt Pragati by any means so he kept his distance.. Pragati felt she liked Raghbir.. Pragati's condition improved a lot.. She was now able to walk with someone holding her tightly.. She was too much attracted towards the kind and caring nature of Raghbir... BUT..

End for today!
