PART 14

She quickly picked up Rahul and rushed him to the hospital. The doctors ran to her and took Rahul straight into the emergency room. She started filling out all the forms and started pacing in the corridor. She was so worried and then she remembers that she should probably call Rahul's parents. But before she could get to the phone, the doctor came out. Kripa ran to him and aksed how Rahul was doing. The doctor looked at her and said, he has lost a lot of blood and because of that his chances are slim. He was about to walk away when Kripa said that why don't you take my blood. The doctor looked at her and said that won't be possible as Rahul has a very rare group, group O. The doctor went on to explain that the hospital was very low on that blood group and that's why they would not be able to help Rahul. Kripa said that I am also type O, pleaded with the doctor for him to draw her blood. Kripa was well aware that if she gave her blood that it could hurt her with her heart condition but she really didn't care. Eventually the doctor agreed and asked the nurse to prep everything. Kripa then went into the emergency room and gave blood. But because they needed a lot, Kripa too fell unconscious. At this time, the doctor said that the two will just be fine, Kripa will be able to produce more blood and Rahul will recover with Kripa's blood. The doctor didn't know Kripa's condition and hence didn't know that Kripa will be very weak and will not be able to produce all the blood that her body needs. 

At the Khanna – the party has begun. Slowly all the guests are arriving and Angad is anxiously waiting for his friend to come. He is especially looking to the door to see Kripa. He doesn't know why but he feels that he has created a very special bond with her. He just wanted her there to be a part of his happiness.

He talked to all his guests and was actually having a good time. But Kripa wasn't there and he was getting worried. He decides to call her cell but of course it was off. He then saw Harshini come with Prithvi and Mishty. He ran to them and welcomed them. Then he looked at Harshini and asked where Kripa was. Harshini said that she should have been here and that she hadn't spoken to her all day. Then Mishty and Prithvi chime in saying that they to had not talked to or heard from Kripa all day. This obviously got the gang worried but then Naina announced the cake cutting ceremony. So with a smile but a hidden fear he went and cut the cake. He just had a really bad feeling but for the sake of the party and his family he put up a good front of enjoying.

Finally a couple of hours later, Kripa woke up. She had the world's worst headache, but slowly got up. She looked up and then to her right. She saw Rahul lying there. She slowly got up but as she did she was quite dizzy. She walked over to Rahul, holding her head and holding wall. She looked at Rahul and whispered into his ear. After a couple of minutes, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Kripa. He smiled and then closed his eyes again. Kripa gave him a soft kiss in his forehead. Just then the doctor came in and asked how Kripa was feeling. She said I am okay, just a little light headed. The doctor said that was normal. Then he said that Rahul will need some medications if Kripa could get them. He also informed Kripa that he had called Rahul's parents as he found their contact information in Rahul's backpack. Kripa looked up and smiled. She left to go get his meds. As she came back she saw a sweet mid aged woman sitting next to Rahul, holding his hand. Kripa came closed and the lady looked up. (Dr. Simran from Astitiva) She got up and walked over to Kripa. She looked at her with the most gracious eyes and just hugged her. Kripa was a bit taken back, but at the same time understood that this woman was someone close to Rahul. After partying, the lady said thank you so much for saving my sons life. The doctor told me everything. I will never be able to repay you for what you have done. Kripa looked at her and said aunty you don't have to thank me, Rahul is very dear to me and I would do anything for him. Then Kripa gives her the medications and says that she must go. But that she will come by tomorrow to see how Rahul is doing. Rahul's mom says thank you once again and gives Kripa another more hug.
