Mumbai

Manvi reached Mumbai, her mind was only occupied with Khushi. She asked the driver to take her things to the house and she began to walk towards the temple. She was without sandals, her feet began to burn but she hardly reacted to her pain. She walked about 14 kilometres and finally reached Lord Krishna Temple.  

She purchased the Puja stuff and climbed the stairs, she handed everything to the priest and closed her eyes "meri wajah se meri beti zindagi aur maut ke beech jhul rahi hai bhagwaan par aap use mujhse cheen nahi sakte ho! meri jeene ki wajah hai meri beti please mujhse use door mat karo.. main sab kuch kho sakti hun par use nahi.." tears slipped down her eyes. 

She began to lose her consciousness but grabbed the poll of the temple. The priest blessed her and said "beta tum itni dhoop mein nange paav mandir aayi ho... bhagwaan tumhari manokamna zaroor puri karenge"

She smiled a bit hearing him and sat down leaning against the poll closing her eyes. 

GOA, St. Martin Hospital

It has been 12 hours and Khushi hasn't yet gained her consciousness. Each and every passing second was bringing Khushi closer to ine kaha death. 

The doctor asked the nurse to arrange the blood but the nurse informed "Sir kal raat bahut accident cases aaye they.. AB negative blood ka slot khatam ho gaya hai"

"what? par maine kaha tha na iss patient ke liye blood rakhna hai. She is still critical" The doctor scolded the nurse.

Nurse apologized "Sorry doctor but Dr. anil ne kaha tha"

Aarav got angry hearing that and shouted "toh blook bank se jaake arrange karo na!"

"Sir maine phone kiya tha but waha bhi available nahi hai" the nurse said in a low tone. 

Before Aarav could speak something, Ahana interrupted "Aarav.. relax tumhara blood group bhi same hai.. tum Khushi ko blood de sakte ho na"

Aarav nodded in yes, in the tension he had forgotten he had the same blood group. He gave the blood and then it was transferred to Khushi. Ahana got some food for him as it has been 24 hours since he hasn't eaten anything. 

Ahana tried to feed him but he refused "nahi bhabhi pehle khushi ko hosh aane do"

"Aarav.. abhi tumne blood diya hai na. khalo please" Ahana requested but he refused. He moved to Khushi and grabbed his place beside her. 

Ahana was concerned and just prayed everything gets well soon. She moved out of the ICU, her eyes turned moist. Virat kept his hand on her shoulder, she turned and hugged him tightly "Virat.. ye sab" 

Virat smeared her head and said "sab thik hoga Ahana.."

"Virat hum Khushi ko Mumbai shift kar dete hai waha pe best of best doctors hai" Ahana suggested. 

"nahi Ahana ye doctor maine Mumbai se hi bulaya hai.. I am sure Khushi ko jald hosh aayega tum dekhna" he informed her.

Ahana nodded in yes. She thought about Vihaan who must be alone with the caretaker. Virat understood her concern and said "Tum Vihaan ke paas jao jaise hi khushi ko hosh aayega main tumhe phone kar dunga" 

Ahana glanced at Aarav and Khushi for a moment. She didn't want to leave them alone but she has no choice. She  said "khayal rakhna tum.." 

Virat nodded and Ahana left the hospital. Virat moved inside the ICU and saw Aarav sitting with closed eyes by keeping his head on the bed. He grabbed his place on the couch and all he could just wait for Khushi to gain consciousness soon. 

Few hours passed by, Aarav felt a moment in Khushi's finger. He looked at her and she was going consciousness. A smile appeared on his face with tears of happiness visible in his eyes. He called her name "Khushi.." 

Khushi lightly opened her eyes, her vision was a blur so she closed her eyes for a moment and blinked her eyes a few times to get a clear glimpse of her surroundings. She smiled weakly under the oxygen mask and tried to speak in a stammered tone "dadda... itni jaldi Khushi se peecha nahi chuda sakte aap.." 

Aarav sighed and said "peecha chudana bhi kaun chahta hai. Jaan hi nikal gayi thi meri" 

Khushi blinked her eyes and shut her eyes. The doctor arrived and checked her up. Aarav curiously looked at the doctor and asked "Doctor ye wapas behosh kaise ho gayi?"

The doctor smiled and said "don't worry she is out of danger now.. kamzori hai na, at least two weeks ka proper bed rest and healthy food phir aapki beti pehle jaise bhaagne daudne lagegi" 

Aarav closed her eyes, Virat pulled him into his embrace and consoled him "maine kaha tha na Aarav kuch nahi hoga Khushi ko"

Aarav nodded, he moved out of the ICU room. Virat asked "kaha jaa rahe ho?"

Aarav smiled and said "bas aata hun bhai aap yahi rehna khushi ke paas"

Virat agreed, he took out his phone and informed Ahana that Khushi is out of danger. 

Ahana had a sigh of relief "Thank god.. main abhi hospital aa rahi hun"

"nahi Ahana maine doctor se baat kar li hai.. hum yahan se airport jayenge. Tum Vihaan ke saath wahi aa jaana" he informed. 

"Virat are you sure Khushi iss haal mein travel kar sakegi Mumbai?" Ahana asked again. 

"haa.. sab thik hai Ahana" Virat assured her.

Ahana agreed and disconnected the call. 

After some time, Khushi was shifted to a normal room. She looked at Virat and asked "maine sabko pareshan kar diya na?"

Virat caressed her head lightly and said "nahi beta abhi baatein nahi rest karo thik hai na"

Khushi nodded in yes. She heard a sound outside, she wanted to check and asked Virat to take her outside. He made her stand properly and took her outside giving her support. Tears escaped down her eyes seeing Aarav distributing sweets to everyone in the hospital. 

"dekho meri beti thik ho gayi na.. toh aapka beta bhi ho jayega.. smile karo" Aarav said to the parent. 

Virat sighed.. "ye ladka bhi na.. khud toh itna chilla raha tha.. roh raha tha aur sabko gyan de raha hai" 

Khushi smiled hearing this, she couldn't find Manvi around and thought "mumma kaha hai?" 

Aarav came to Khushi and said "bahar kyun aayi? chalo andar" 

He took her inside the room and made her lay on the bed. Aarav sighed.. "abhi thik nahi hui ho tum samjhi! jabtak main nahi kahun yahan se kahi nahi jaogi tum" he warned her. 

"Dadda.. main thik hun" Khushi said. 

"haan mujhe pata hai kitna thik ho tum.." Aarav replied. 

"Dadda mumma kaha hai?" Khushi questioned him. 

Aarav shot a deadly glare at her and then smiled lightly "tum rest karo main discharge ki formalities puri karke aata hun" 

He ignored her questions and Khushi understood. She thought "matlab dadda mumma se bahut gussa hai.. aur lagta hai baki sab bhi hai" 

Soon, Khushi was discharged and they went straight to the airport where Ahana and Vihaan were already waiting for them. 

Ahana tapped Khushi's cheek the moment she saw her and asked "thik ho na?? dard toh nahi hai?" 

Aarav replied "bhabhi.. doctor ne 2 weeks aaram karne ko kaha hai. Dawaiyan bhi di hai.. healthy khana sab kuch"

Ahana smiled and said "thik hai.. samajh gayi. baap beti hai toh shaitaan hi.. rest naam toh dictonery mein hi nahi hai tum dono ke hai na?" 

Khushi gave an innocent look and looked at Aarav.  He remembered his accident and the mischiefs he had done with Khushi behind Ahana and Virat. 

Khushi said "main good girl hun.. koi shaitaani nahi karungi"

"wo ghar jaake main dekh lungi" Ahana said and they boarded the flight. Aarav made Khushi lay comfortably on the seat and covered her with the blanket. 

Khushi smiled seeing his concern and assured him "I am fine dadda"

Aarav nodded, he sat down beside her and she kept her head on his shoulder. He caressed her hair and kissed her forehead softly. 

Mumbai

It has been a whole day since Manvi was sitting in the temple. The doors of the temple were closed and the priest asked her to return home. Manvi stood up and descended the stairs. She took the auto and headed towards the mansion. 

On the way, she tried to contract Aarav but his phone was switched off. She sighed deeply.. "mujhe hitler bolta hai aur ab khud hitlergiri pe utar aaya hai" she murmured.
