Chapter - 4 : Conforting Her

Vineet gets shocked as Ruhana faints in his arms. Anamika gets baffled. A moment ago, her sister was fine, and now she's unconscious again. Vineet makes her lie on the bed and sprinkle water on her face. She grimaces as the water droplets touch her face. She feels an excruciating pain in her head. Vineet turns to look at his friend and his wife. Before they could talk, they heard a loud gasp. Ruhana looks pained even in the unconscious state. It seems like she has gone through the worst before slipping into the coma.

Since she was kidnapped, maybe the goons tried to molest or harass her. Maybe that is why she was shocked when Sachin showed her the sketch. Vineet rubs her hands gently.

"calm down, Ruhana. You are safe." he says softly.

Vineet constantly glances at Ruhana. He finds her calming down as he rubs her hands. Maybe, she's in need of some warm touch. Angel looks at Sachin and then Vineet.

"I think we should let her rest. Hum interrogation baad mein karlenge." she says.

"Haan. Vineet, let us know when she's fine." sachin says and leaves the ward.

Vineet turns towards Ruhana, and finds Anamika sitting on the stool holding her sister's hand. She's speaking softly, as in, Ruhana is hearing her. He gazes at his patient, there's a movement in her eyes, she's gaining consciousness, maybe. He walks towards her and she opens her eyes faintly. Anamika smiles.

"Kya hua tha aapko?pata hai kitna daraya aapne mujhe? Aapko pata hai na main aapke bina nai reh sakti. Fir aap aisa kyun karte ho! " she speaks worriedly.

"already itni chot lagi hai aapko. Fir bhi pareshan karte ho mujhe. Kaun tha wo aadmi, jise dekh ke aap chillayi thi??" Anamika questions.

The color on Ruhana's face drains off on Anamika's questions. Maybe, he was the one who kidnapped her and even did the worst. But Vineet's not sure.

" Anamika, she needs rest. Tumhe bhi ghar ja ke rest karna chahiye. " he says.

Anamika nods negatively and clings closer to Ruhana.

"Main di ke sath hi rahungi." she denies.

Six months is a long time and Anamika is just a teenager, left only with her sister. Now that, they have found Ruhana, she doesn't want to leave her side. Vineet tries to convince her, but she seems adamant.

"Ana?! Maan ja na. I'm still under treatment. Ab main tujhe chod ke kahan jaungi bhala!!" she asks.

"Aapne bola tha aap mujhe chod ke nahi jaoge, par wo uncle bure hai. Unhone aapko maara na!!" Anamika asks.

Ruhana shivers thinking about those days. Vineet approaches toward her. He holds her hand and she calms a little.

"you can tell me, if you want. You're safe here." he says softly.

"kuch nahi. Bas achanak se kuch acha nahi lag raha tha." she says gazing away from him.

"Aap sach bol rahe ho?" Anamika asks.

"Han ana. Ab tu sawal mat kar." Ruhana shushes her.

Vineet looks at both the girls. Anamika is worried for her sister. While Ruhana is trying to hide something from Anamika and also Vineet. There is surely something about the man whose picture left her shocked. Either he did something bad to her or she saw something for which she's finding words to speak. His trance is broken by Anamika. He glances at Ruhaana, who's sitting with bed support and her eyes are closed.

"Hum di ko ghar kab le jayenge?" she asks innocently.

Vineet smears her head. He knows she's worried for Ruhana. He feels a connection towards Ruhana and wants to help her release her pain.

"Aaj hi le jayenge. Tum tab tak apni di ka dhyan rakho, okay!" he says.

Anamika agrees and Vineet leaves for his round to check on his patients. Doctor Mehra also came to check on Ruhana and he's satisfied. She's recovering slowly. He meets Vineet and tells him that ruhana is doing fine. Being with her sister will help her to recover soon. Vineet is relieved.

Same evening, he told Ruhana and Anamika that they are going home. Anamika is elated while Ruhana is hesitant.

"Di, don't worry. He's nice. Unke ghar pe bas hum honge. Let's go!" Anamika says.

Vineet smiles. He knew she's meeting him for the first time and is hesitant. But Anamika is used to be around him. She helps Ruhana change in a casual dress and they head home. Ruhana's amused to see the big bungalow. Anamika pulls her inside and took her to her room..

"This is our room.. Aap mere sath rahoge." she says.

Vineet lets the sisters bond, when Ruhana stops him, and says something that leaves him surprised.

To Be Continued.

What did Ruhana say?

Stay tuned.
