_______________________________________

The Police knocked on Shayra's room, viren had gone out to meet with child psychiatrist who visits the hospital and recommended by Dr.Sheetal... Krishna was visiting another hospital to know more about the Speech therapist there...So only Ojaswini and Shayra were in the room... seeing the police officers entering the room Ojaswini was slightly surprised and asked them about why they are visiting now and they expressed their wishes to inquire shayra about what happened during the time when they were missing

"Sir I don't think this is the time for such investigation..the kids are still in recovery they're not in a right state of mind to-"

"Madam I can really understand what you're saying but we need to file the reports and it's just few questions...I'm sure the child can answer few basic questions! So please move out of the room until we ask some questions to Little Miss shayra... don't worry she is in safe hands" the inspector told as Ojaswini reluctantly left the room...then the police officer and two of his constables began questioning shayra about what happened on the day of kidnapping

Shayra's mind whirled back to that fateful day as the event replayed in her mind..and everything that followed it was straight up horrifying, as the graphic imagery came in her mind panic sets in...she was zoned out and in tears, not hearing what they were trying to say as everything around her blurred, her mind was in disarray as her breathing became ragged....The door burst open as Raahil barged inside with anger written all over his face

When his gaze fell on Shayra's weak trembling form, his anger surged...he caught the police officer's hand and pulled him out of the room as Divya and Ojaswini ran towards shayra who  was still shaking in fear...The nurses and doctors were called in who injected her and helped her sleep and they monitored her heart rate and breathing as Divya stood there shedding silent tears while Raahil argued with police officer who had come in unannounced and sayeshà sat there worried about her sister but unable to meet her... Finally as Raahil had sent the officers away viren came back

The incident had infuriated him as the doctors urged them to consult a child psychiatrist who could delve into more details about what her mental state is at this point...an appointment was quickly scheduled for next morning

Two days ago Rishaan was informed about Shayra and Sayesha's arrival and he quickly reached Vellore in one day and informed Aishwarya and Shakuntala about the whole scenario...so now they all rushed to Yercaud...By the time arrived it was morning, shayra was taken to the room to meet with the psychiatrist who warmly welcomed her inside and sat her down comfortably on the chair then handed her a iPad so that she came easily write whatever she wanted to convey, and casually conversed with about food, favourite colours and all about Disney movies...by writing it on her own ipad.

Seeing it all they were a little relieved she wasn't panicking like she did yesterday and Sayeshà was taken for her scans as Viren accompanied her while the adults along with rishaan discussed what was going on leaving both Aishwarya and Zeeshaan out of the discussion....As their talks  continued in hushed tone Aishwarya couldn't help but think how she fits nowhere

For the adults she wasn't adult enough for them to take her opinions seriously while for the kids she felt as if she's too mature for them...none of it was okay...she didn't understand what was going on and she wanted to know but just as always they have kept her in the dark saying she doesn't need to know...time and again she peeked inside to see her little sister shayra who looked so familiar yet so different, she looked frail as if she would be blown away by the winds while her hairs were tattered... Aishwarya was yet to meet sayeshà but looking at shayra's condition she had no courage to look at Sayesha, part of her felt guilty of not saving her sister yet she was always told by the elders that she had done what a normal 16 year old would do, But that was the adults opinion

What about Shayra and Sayesha? What do they think? Are they angry? Do they hold her accountable for their current scenario?

All these questions clawed at her heart diminishing her will to meet and greet her sisters..yet she couldn't express any of her inner anguish so she suppressed it and sat there trying to gulp down her emotions and stick it out because this day wasn't about her but her sisters

"Who am I kidding..? It was always about them...when did I ever matter?" She chuckled dryly as Zeeshaan tried asking her what happened but she brushed off his questions

Inside the counselling room, finally shayra felt slightly calm with the Woman, her name was Dr.Radha...her gentle demeanor put shayra at ease around her...She couldn't believe this doctor had reminded her of all the fun time and Disney  movies she had almost forgotten...she felt happy to remember it all and almost forgot above her misery when the first question about the kidnapping fiasco was put forth

"Who kidnapped you shayra? Is it somebody you know? " Dr. Radha asked and after a momentary pause shayra nodded in no

"So you never knew him from before?" The question was reiterated as shayra nodded again

"So now can you identify him? Any specific features that you can think of?" Dr.Radha asked..his face appeared in her thoughts as her heart raced, she clenched her fists to calm herself down as she frail body trembled, the doctor took note of her behavioural changes when this topic was brought up

"Is there anything that can help us identify that man?" The doctor softly asked as shayra's tearful eyes looked at her ...her warm smile and gentle reassurance about how everything is going to be okay was like a fresh breeze of her.... making her believe that she can speak about this...she wrote down

"Two different colored eyes...one grey , one brown!"

As shayra showed the iPad to Dr.Radha, her demeanor changed
"So you have enough strength to talk about them?" Dr.Radha asked, the sudden question made her confused as she tilted her head to the left trying to decipher why she suddenly asked this

"Why didn't you talk to the police yesterday!?" Another sharp question was thrown her way as the tone sent chills down shayra's spine...she stiffened up but remained quiet looking down at her iPad not knowing what to do or what to say...Fear was slowly creeping back in as she looked back at the exit door

"No! You're Trapped here until you know what you did was wrong!" Dr.Radha said as shayra's demeanor changed hearing the words she uttered

"She had already warned you to not say anything to save your family...yet you're here trying to snitch! Tch tch tch too bad your entire family will face the consequences for this mistake do you know that!?" Dr. Radha said as shayra quickly fell to her knees trying to plead with her to spare her family, those instances of her and her sister facing various punishments whenever they committed any mistakes with no mercy came to her mind as she feared for her family's well being

"You do realise that fire was started there to finish you? And you two like little bugs escaped it all...and now you're a burden to your family!" She manipulated the scared child who was sobbing now as the doctor kicked her away

"Run!take your family and Run out of this place before they come back for you! This is a warning because they are watching all of your moves...You think you're safe after you escaped-"
Shayra was perplexed by that discovered as she Survival Instinct kicked in...she started to run out when Dr.Radha blocked her way

"Session is not over....I am not done with you yet!" She sternly said as that phrase refreshed bad memories in shayra's mind as she became more and more frantic she knocked off things from the table as she stumbled around trying to somehow escape Radha's grip....The slight noises were heard by Aishwarya as she sat right outside the door...she was confused but she didn't want to pry shayra's private session....after biting Radha's arm and kicking her gut, shayra ran out of the door... Aishwarya who was standing right at door was frightened by the sudden arrival but she caught shayra in her arms.

Zeeshaan too stood up in shock but before he could come closer, shayra who was already panicking had not recognised her own sister and again bit her arm and pulled Aishwarya's hair thinking it was Radha again.... finally with one hard push Aishwarya was on the floor as the crying teenager ran towards the open gallery...the screams alerted the adults who were at a distance watching the scene unfold in complete shock...They recovered from it as Zeeshaan cradled Aishwarya in her arms as she cried because she had sprained her arm due to the fall

Ojaswini and Krishna along with Shakuntala rushed to check on her as Raahil, Divya and Rishaan ran after Shayra...and at the last moment they caught her before she could jump off from the second floor of this building...still shayra's panic had clouded her judgement as she thrashed around in rishaan's arms who was trying to hold her down with great difficulty as the doctors arrived at the scene and injected her... rendering her unconscious...They gently laid her on stretcher and took her to a bed where she was strapped down because she was trying to commit suicide.

Rishaan had already began sobbing not because of the scratches or the bite marks on his forearm but the condition in which he saw his little sister today devastated him... Aishwarya was given few pain killers to manage the pain as she sat there trying to recover from the shock of what had transpired...Shayra was to be kept under strict observation as stated by Dr.Sheetal and Dr. Radha because she posed a threat to herself and other around her...hence the family was not allowed to see her
