Special chapter for you all!!

Anubhav emerged from the shadows, his piercing gaze scanning the hospital's sterile corridors. Weeks of operating undercover, entrenched in a clandestine mission, had taken a profound toll on his physical and mental well-being. The sudden news of the devastating blast at Mahila Police Thana shook him to his core, shattering the fragile equilibrium he had managed to maintain.

As he navigated the labyrinthine hospital hallways, Anubhav's thoughts were consumed by the grim reality. His colleagues, his friends, and his loved ones believed him to be deceased, a casualty of the treacherous landscape he had voluntarily entered. The weight of their collective grief and the crushing isolation that accompanied it threatened to overwhelm him.

Upon reaching the hospital, Anubhav's resolve hardened. His singular focus shifted from the clandestine operation to unraveling the truth behind the tragic events unfolding before him. The elevator doors slid open, revealing familiar faces - Amar and Santosh, their expressions etched with worry and despair.

Amar's eyes widened in stunned recognition. "Anubhav! You're... alive?" he stammered, incredulity lacing his voice.

Santosh's gaze mirrored Amar's shock, her lips parted in silent astonishment. "Sir," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Anubhav's countenance turned resolute, his jaw clenched. "What's the situation?" he demanded, his tone low and urgent.

Amar's composure crumbled, his words tumbling forth in a frantic cascade. "Ms. Mallik, Karu, Billu cheetah.. the blast... it's been chaos. We thought you were gone, Anubhav. Everyone did."

Anubhav's heart sank, his determination igniting like a wildfire. The devastating losses, the presumed demise, and the haunting uncertainty - all fueled his unwavering resolve to uncover the truth.

Amar's voice cracked as he revealed the devastating news, his words painting a grim picture. "Haseena's condition is critical, Anubhav. She's fighting for her life. The doctors are doing everything possible, but the injuries are severe. We're praying for a miracle." Amar's eyes welled up with tears, his voice trembling.

Anubhav's expression darkened, his jaw clenched in determination. "What about Karishma?" he asked, his voice low and urgent. Amar's face contorted in anguish. "Karishma... she lost the baby, Anubhav. The blast was too much for her. She's devastated, physically and emotionally. We're trying to keep her stable, but it's a tough battle." Anubhav's face twisted in pain, his heart heavy with sorrow.

"Billu?" Anubhav inquired, his gaze locked onto Amar's. Amar's expression turned hopeful. "Conscious but weak"

Anubhav nodded, a sense of purpose washing over him. "Pushpa ji?" Amar's voice dropped to a whisper. "Coma. Doctors are unsure if she'll recover. We're waiting for her to wake up, praying for the best." Santosh's tears fell freely, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs.

"Cheetah?" Anubhav asked, his voice firm. Amar's face contorted in worry. "Critical. Fighting between death and life. The next 48 hours are crucial. We need a miracle to save him." Anubhav's resolve hardened. "I need to see them. All of them." Amar nodded.

"I'll take you to them. We'll get through this together, Anubhav." As they navigated the hospital corridors, Anubhav's mind reeled with the gravity of the situation. His team, his family, lay shattered. The blast's aftermath had left devastation in its wake..

Santosh's eyes remained fixed on Anubhav, her expression a mix of relief and concern. "Sir, we thought we'd lost you," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Anubhav's gaze softened, his eyes locking onto Santosh's. "I'm here now, Santosh. We'll get through this together."

Santosh's lips trembled, her composure cracking. " Pushpe. Madam sir Karishma maddam, Billu ji, my cheetah... everyone's suffering. We need you, sir."

Anubhav's jaw clenched, determination burning within. "We'll find out who's responsible, Santosh. And we'll make them pay."

Anubhav continued. " Santosh, brief me on the investigation so far."

Santosh pulled out a file, her voice steady. "We've collected evidence from the blast site, sir. Initial reports suggest a sophisticated explosive device was used."

Anubhav's eyes narrowed. "Get me everything you have. I want to review the evidence myself."

•••••••

Dr. Jain's solemn face delivered the devastating news. "I'm afraid Cheetah's condition has taken a turn for the worse. He's slipped into a coma."

Santosh's composure shattered, her body shaking with uncontrollable sobs. "No, no, no..." she whispered, her voice trembling.

Anubhav's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in determination. "Do everything possible, Doctor. We need him to pull through."

Amar placed a comforting hand on Santosh's shoulder. "Cheetah ko kuch nhi hoga, Santosh. kuch bhi nhi."

But Santosh's grief was overwhelming. She had seen Cheetah's vibrant spirit, his unwavering loyalty. The thought of losing him was unbearable.

As Dr. Jain departed to oversee Cheetah's care, Anubhav enveloped Santosh in a reassuring embrace. "We'll save him, Santosh. I promise."

Santosh's tears soaked Anubhav's shoulder, her anguish pouring out. "Why, sir? Why is this happening to us?"

Santosh's body shook uncontrollably, her sobs echoing through the hospital corridor. Anubhav's embrace tightened, offering what little comfort he could.

"Cheetah can't leave us, sir," Santosh pleaded, her voice cracking. "

Amar's eyes moistened, his face etched with empathy. 

But Santosh's grief had reached a breaking point. She pulled back from Anubhav, her eyes streaming with tears.

"First, Karishma madam loses her baby... then Pushpa ji's coma, maddam sir is critical... and now Cheetah," Santosh whispered, her voice barely audible. "Who's next, sir?"

Anubhav's face twisted in anguish, his eyes mirroring Santosh's pain. "We'll stop this, Santosh. I promise."

Santosh's face contorted, her body wracked with sobs. "How, sir? How can we stop this?"

Anubhav's jaw clenched, determination burning within. "We'll find out who's behind this and make them pay."

Santosh's face crumpled, her body shaking uncontrollably. "He's my love, sir... I lost him once, I can't lose him again."
