Chapter 63

That was the feeling ... or may be no feeling at all.

Numbness ... Surrounding Khushi.

Her senses were numbed ... or may be the whole being of her ... or else she could have felt something when NK was jerking her ... When Akash and Aman took Arnav's body away from her lap. When NK was talking to her ... When NK make her stand up.

There were loud noises everywhere ... but all Khushi could felt was quietness and coldness. Its like the life was slowly dripping away from her.

She didn't know when NK had made her sit in the car ... when it got started and when it was running on the road. She just sits still ... her eyes un focused ... just numb ... all numb.

NK make Khushi sit in front seat while Akash and Aman take the back seat holding Arnav. Aman had checked his pulse ... it was slow and he was breathing slow too. Without wasting any time NK had started the car and drove towards the city.

"Where is the nearest hospital?", asked NK ... he was not familiar with the roads of Dehli as he lived most of his life in Mumbai.

"Don't know ... let me call jiju", said Akash ... he was literally shaking in fear. He fumble with his cell, it took him time to dial Rahul's number.

Aman, too was shock that he just kept staring and shaking Arnav. He had kept his handkerchief on Arnav's wound and was pressing it to stop the flow of blood. But it already got soaked in Arnav's blood. He had never felt that much frighten before that he was right now. His cell ring ... it took him time to realize that ... he took it out ... it was Vikrant's call.

-------------------- Same time -- On other side

"Baby why are you crying baba?", asked Anjali trying to quiten Arush who was crying non-stop.

"Shobah ji ... did he get hurt somewhere?", asked Anjali looking at Arush's nanny who was standing beside her.

"No Mam ... I was just trying to feed him but he was not eating it ... and then after some time he started crying ... I tried to make him stop but he didn't ... that's why I brought him down", said Shobah, who was also worried seeing Arush crying that badly. His baby face was all red and tears continues to flow.

Anjali, Nani, Mama ji, Mami ji and Rahul all were there in the living room when Shobah bring crying Arush down. They all try different ways to distract him ... his sobs subside but didn't stop. Just then Rahul's cell ring ... he checked it was Akash. Thinking it will be some news of Khushi he moves to side and pick the call. But what he heard made him shout out loud,"WHAAT???".

"When? How?", asked Rahul. Everyone got alerted. They were watching Rahul and trying to make Arush stop at the same time.

"Ajay was about to shoot Khushi .. but bhh..hhai ..ii bhaa iii ... jump in front and got shhh oott..", said Akash trying to keep his voice steady. "Jiju where is the nearest hospital? ... he is losing too much blood".

"Ok .. ok ... tell me where are you now?", asked Rahul who come over his shock. Akash looked around but couldn't recognize any familiar thing. He asked Aman, who was on call with Vikrant, he shake his head in negative.

"Jiju .. we don't know ... the place where we went was quit far away from city", said Akash his voice was cracking now.

"Ok just hang on ok ... don't panic ... look out for any board ... then tell me", said Rahul who started to pace the room.

"Rahul bitwa ... what happened?", asked Mamaji who now came near to Rahul. Rahul just shake his head in negative not wanting to tell him anything yet. Mama ji didn't say anything but just stood there.

Aman quickly cut the call telling Vikrant about Arnav and where they were headed as Vikrant couldn't find them anywhere on the site. Aman then, quickly check his GPRS and tell Akash where they are. Akash tell Rahul and after thinking for some seconds he tells Akash the location of the hospital, which will be 30 to 40 mins drive away.

"Jiju .. its too far away ... couldn't be there any close one", asked Akash.

"Akash ... there are ... but they are small ones not much equipped ... you just head to the one I told you ... I know a doctor there ... he is a trauma surgeon ... he is the best to operate Arnav ... I will call him ... also Arnav will be needing loads of blood. So ask the blood bank there or any other source... ok I am also leaving from here", said Rahul quickly and cut the call.

"Rahul bitwa what happened to Arnav ... why he needs blood?", asked Mama ji worried. Rahul turn and saw everyone looking at him.

"Arnav got shot", said Rahul. Everyone gasped. Nani collapsed on the sofa with shock, Mami ji hold her close.

"Whatt... NOO ...", shouted Anjali ... Arush who was quite then started to cry again hearing the loud voice.

"Listen ... Akash is taking him to hospital ... I don't know his condition, so can't say anything ... I am going there now", said Rahul and move to the hall away.

"Wait ... I am coming too", said Anjali in loud voice as she handed Arush to Shobah.

"No Anjali stay here with Arush", said Rahul but he knew Anjali wouldn't stop.

"NO ... No ...", said Anjali loud ... "I am coming ... I want to see chottey ... please take me to him", said Anjali now crying.

"Ok fine come", said Rahul and saw Nani and Mami also standing.

"No please Nani ji you stay here ... we can't take Arush there ... he will need you all ... looks like he knew something happened to Arnav that's why he is crying that way", said Rahul. Nani and Mami weren't ready to stay back but Rahul made them stay back. Mamaji, Rahul and Anjali drove towards the hospital.

------------------------------------------------

"Khushi ... Khushi ...", Nk called Khushi for the umpteenth time. But Khushi didn't responded. She was looking ahead with unfocused eyes. NK had kept on looking Khushi ... calling and talking to her ... but he didn't get any response. NK understood that she was in shock of Arnav being shot. He had called Payal and told her what happened and told them of hospital. May be seeing her family Khushi would respond.

The journey of 30 - 40 mins was cut short by 15 minutes as NK raced through the roads of Dehli. He never drove that fast in his life ever. There were some pointes when he was just about to crash in another car but he didn't slow down.

Soon they reached the hospital. NK came around Khushi and took her out. He thought to check her up by the doctor. Aman and Akash carry Arnav carefully into the hospital. Looks like Rahul had called the doctor as he was waiting at the reception with ward boys. They quickly put Arnav on stretcher and take him to the second floor where Operation Theater was. Akash went to the blood bank and Aman followed the doctor. NK made Khushi sit on the seat there outside the OT. He went to call another doctor for Khushi.

-------------------- After 20 minutes

"She is fine ... but in shock for now. It will take some time ... but she will be ok", said the lady doctor who had checked Khushi, NK had explained to the doctor what had happened. There were slight bruises on Khushi's arms and a small scratch on forehead.

"lets take care of these ... shall we", said the lady doctor with a smile and stood up from the chair.

"Khushi .. come on dear ... lets go", said NK as he take her arm softly and pull her a little so that she stand up but Khushi didn't budge. NK looked at doctor worried who smile back in assurance.

NK tried again and this time Khushi stood up. They turn to go and saw Gupta family along with Anjali, Rahul and Mamaji coming towards them. It looks like they all reached at the same time.

"Khushi ...", cried Payal and run to her and hug her tight. But Khushi didn't hug her back and Payal did notice that. She breaks the hug and look at her worried.

"Khushi ... bacha ... what happened?", asked Payal. Garima, Shashi and Buaji also hugged Khushi but she didn't say anything. This made Payal more worried. Anjali was happy seeing Khushi ... she too went to her and grab her arm.

"Khushi ... are you alright? Did you get hurt?", asked Anjali with moist eyes. But Khushi didn't say anything ... she was just staring in the air.

"Nikhil ... what happened to her? Why isn't she saying anything?", asked Payal turning to NK who was standing two feet away.

"Payal Di ... she is in shock ... he saw ASR got shot" said NK and every one gasped there. "But doctor said she will be fine", said NK quickly seeing there fearful faces.

Rahul came in front of Khushi, "Khushi ... look at me ... Khushi ...", said Rahul as he tried to catch her eye. But Khushi didn't look at him ... he grab her wrist and check her pulse ... it was normal.

"She seems normal ... it's just the shock ... she will be fine", said Rahul looking at Payal who nodded.

Just then a female doctor came there and Rahul got surprise to see her, "Dr. Pooja?", said Rahul.

"Dr. Rahul ...", said Dr. Pooja acknowledging his presence.

"What are you doing here?", asked Rahul as Dr. Pooja was a cardiologist. Before she could answer the OT room door open and a doctor with nurse came back. Everyone's eyes went to his hand as they were blooded.

"Oh great Dr. Pooja you are here", said the doctor and his eye fell on Rahul.

"Hows Arnav Dr. Kapoor?", asked Rahul quickly coming to him. Anjali too came near.

"He is very critical ... I check the wound ... the bullet hit him above the heart ... I was afraid that it might have damage his artery ... that's why I called Dr. Pooja. Dr. Rahul the bullet is deep in ... I don't wana give false hope but I don't think so he will survive", said Kapoor hurriedly.

Rahul got more worried; Anjali put her hand on mouth to subside her sob as she move back stumbling, Mamaji quickly hold her in his embrace. Gupta family was equally worried ... but the most effected person was Khushi ... as she had looked at Doctor when Arnav name was mention.

"No ...", said Khushi. Everyone look at her worried but a little relieved to see her saying something

"Khushi ...", said Payal putting hand on her shoulder.

"He can't leave me ... he can't", said Khushi shaking ... "He loves me Jiji ... he loves me ... he promise to stay with me", said Khushi shaking her head as she move back.

Payal tried to hold her but Khushi jerk her hand, "HOW COULD HE LEAVE ME?", shouted Khushi and everyone got worried at her reaction. Anjali cried more seeing her getting panicked. Shashi and Garima had never seen Khushi get hysterical for someone before; they got frighten and at the same time was shocked. Anjali and Rahul could understand her condition as they knew how much she loves Arnav.

"Khushi ... listen dear", NK move closer but Khushi didn't let him touch her.

"NO ...", she shouted. "HE WON'T LEAVE ... HE CANT ... HE LOVES ME ... HOW CAN HE LEAVE ME??".

NK grab her from arms as she struggles to get out of his grip.

"HE WONT LEAVE ME ... HE WONT", shouted Khushi.

Dr. Pooja, Dr. Kapoor and other lady doctor was also got worried seeing Khushi's behavior.

"Khushi calm down ... Khushi stop", said NK but Khushi was getting hysterical, "NO ... he he ... can't ... he won't", said Khushi and then collapsed against NK's chest getting unconscious.

"KHUSHI ...", shouted Payal and Garima.

"NK get her to emergency ward.", said Rahul and then look at the Dr. who had check Khushi first, "Check her vitals and give her the sedative to calm her nerves".

The doctor nodded her head and went away with NK who had carried Khushi in his arms. Gupta Family followed them as well.

"Dr. Kapoor ... lets start the surgery", said Rahul and Dr. Pooja and Dr. Kapoor went in the OT.

Aman and Akash also came back. Akash could only find 1 bottle of Arnav's blood match as his blood group was O negative, a rare one.

Aman had went away to make calls to Vikrant and Amit for security, as he knew that Kushal is still out there and he might strike. He was hell worried for Arnav but he knew he can't do anything for him , as it is the job of doctors. So he did what came in his mind. Vikrant said he will be coming here soon after finishing things at the site. Aman had called Amit to tighten security at Shantivan and also to send some guards over here to cover the area for security purpose and also to keep media away, if they came here, which is most likely to happen as Arnav is not just an ordinary guy.

"Di ...", said Akash as he hug her. "Akash ... cho ..ttey .. why this has happen?", sob Anjali in Akash's arm.

"We can only find one bottle of O negative", said Aman with worry looking at Rahul.

"He needs more blood ... being diabetic makes it more serious", said Rahul as he take his cell out.

"Here ... call my Assistant ... Joshi Rawat", said Rahul giving his cell to Aman, "Ask him about the blood and anyone else you can think of having O negative blood group ok ... I am going in OT".

"Please save him Rahul ... pleeeaasseee...!!", said Anjali in a begging voice.

"Don't worry Anjali ... I will", said Rahul and taking the blood bag from Akash he went in to OT.

----------------------------------------------

The doctor had treated Khushi's bruises and few scratches, also gave her sedative in small amount.

"She will be fine ... it's mostly due to stress and shock. She will gain consciousness in an hour", said the lady doctor assuring Gupta family and NK and left the room. Shashi hold Garima who was crying silently seeing her daughter's condition. Payal was not crying but she was hell worried, she knew how immensely Khushi loves Arnav ... and she was scared for Khushi if anything happens to Arnav. So she went out, gesturing to NK who followed her towards the OT to see the progress on Arnav, she knew that he is being operated now. Also somewhere in her heart she wanted to comfort Akash as well.

Aman had called Lavanya, as her blood group is O negative. Lavanya was shocked getting to know about Arnav ... she was confuse as to how it had happened ... but she didn't question Aman further and rush to the hospital.

Akash was sitting beside Anjali consoling her ... but he was also shaken up thinking about Arnav.

-----------------------------------------------

things happening around Arnav and Khushi are at the same time.

In Blue - will be the flashes Arnav having in unconscious state.

In Pink - will be flashes KHUSHI having in unconscious state.

-----------------------------------------------

The doctors had started the surgery on Arnav. Dr. Kapoor made a 2 inch cut around the bullet hole on Arnav's chest. An oxygen mask was place on Arnav to help him in breathing. Rahul was keeping eye on Arnav's BP, heart rate and vitals. There were sweat bead on Rahul's face as he saw Arnav's heart rate go down to 80 ... 77 ... 72 ... he knew it was not a good thing. The blood bag was attached but they need more blood as Arnav had lost too much blood. He prayed that Aman and Akash got hold of some. Because the loss of blood was causing a gap between the heart beats which also making Arnav's blood pressure go low ... which again was not a good thing.

"Khushi ... there is something between us that I cannot describe ... things which are beyond our control ... and we both know that ... it's something else ... beyond attraction. I want to explore it ... with you ..."

Khushi's eyelids squinted a little as the memory flashed through her mind.

Garima was crying seeing her condition. Shashi tried to console her ... she started to hiccup.

"Let me bring some water", said Shashi and gesture his sister, Buaji came and hold Garima from shoulders while Shashi left the room.

Dr. Kapoor put the forceps inside the hole to take the bullet out. Arnav's eyelids squinted as the memory flashes through his mind.

"I'm here Arnavji ...", said Khushi. "For you ...!!"

And his lips came in contact with hers...

And Arnav breath started to hitch and a nurse said in loud voice, "Heart rate dropped to 65 ... going down to 57 ... 54 ...".

"No ...", said Rahul in worried voice. "Dr. Kapoor ... come on ... fast".

Dr. Kapoor was worried that he might damage Arnav artery ... that's why he was slow in speed ... but hearing about the pulse drop he speed up.

"my heart beats faster ... I feel current pass through my body when I kiss you ... and when I touch you ... I feel like burning with need ... I so want you Khush", said Arnav.

Khushi's head move slightly to the left. Her heart started to beat up fast.

"I had never find someone to be with", said Khushi.

"Ahan ... and now?", asked Arnav. Khushi blush,"I do now...".

Arnav pulse dropped to 46 ... 44...

"I am here Khushi ... For you", said Arnav in his assuring voice.

She leans down and peck him on his lips .

Khushi's eyelids squinted more as her heart beat more faster.

"I just wana hold you for a while", said Arnav.

Khushi just smile at him and wound her arms around his back

Arnav pulse dropped to 37 ... 36. Dr. Kapoor took 10 minutes and the bullet was out. Dr. Pooja came forward put the tiny camera inside the wound to check for artery damage.

"oh yeah and there is one more thing you like ...", said Arnav.

"what?"

"when I kiss you", said Arnav and place his lips on her.

Khushi moves her head towards right ... Garima saw that and grabs her hand instantly. "Khushi bitya ..wake up bitya", Garima said while crying.

"when .. I am in your arms ... when you hug me ... I feel ... I feel", said Khushi with a dreamy look.

"you feel?", asked Arnav...

"Wonderful ...", said Khushi.

"Pulse rate dropped to 31 ... 28", said Nurse loudly.

"Shit...", said Rahul. "Dr. Pooja come on ... we have to stitch him up". Dr. Pooja nodded and speeds up her work.

Then turning to one nurse, "Go out and see if they had arranged for more blood". The nurse went out and luckily Rahul's assistant just came there with 2 blood bags. Anjali and Akash asked her about Arnav.

"Hows Bhai?", asked Akash worried.

"Cant say now ... his heart rate had dropped and pulse got slow", said nurse hurriedly and took the blood bags from Rahul's assistant she went inside the OT.

Just then Lavanya came there; she had heard what nurse said. "Aman ... Anjali ... what happened to ASR?", said Lavanya worriedly as she hurried to Anjali and hug her.

"Lavanya ... wo chottey ...", Anjali couldn't say more.

Payal who was sitting beside Anjali had stood up and went to Akash who was standing a distance away with arms folded on chest and head bow down.

Aman went to Lavanya and started to tell her about todays's event. Tears flow through her eyes knowing about Khushi getting kidnap and then how Arnav got shot.

"Akash ji ..", said Payal as she places her hand on his shoulder. Akash looked at Payal and grabs her hand as he couldn't hold back anymore ... tears escape his eyes.

"Payal ji .. bh aaii .. bhaii ... Why him ... if something happen to him .. we all will break down", said Akash in choked voice.

Payal tighten her hold, "Nothing will happen to him".

"Why him ... why he has to suffer always ... and now he is struggling for his life", said Akash in cracked voice as more tears flow.

Payal heart went out to him ... she couldn't see him broken ... She hug his arms and rub his other hand on his shoulder to comfort him, "Just hold on Akashji ... Devi Maiya will make everything alright", said Payal as she try to console Akash.

"And you ARE MINE ... samjhi tum", sain Arnav loudly..

"I am not yours ok", said Khushi but Arnav retort back .. "yes you are mine".

Khushi whimpers very low ... Garima shakes her arm, "Bitya can you hear me ... Jiji look she is moving".

And this (she peck his lips) is (peck on his lips) because (peck again) I (peck again) LOVE (peck again) YOU (and peck again)", said Khushi and look at his eyes passionately.

Dr. Pooja give a green go as there was no damage of artery. Rahul cleaned the wound while Dr. Kapoor started to stitch it up. Heat rate drop down more ... 21 ... 19 ...

"Any new dream?", asked Khushi.

"Not now I guess ... haven't thought any yet", said Arnav.

"Bitya open your eyes na", said Buaji with moist eyes, "Look at us please".

Dr. Kapoor had stich up the wound. Rahul look at the heart rate monitor ... the pulse had dropped to 15 ...14 ...13.

"No ... No ..." said Rahul as he started resuscitation process as he presses down Arnav's chest hard.

"Thank you", Arnav whispered slowly.

"For what Arnav ji...?", asked Khushi in confusion.

"Just for being here ... with me".

"Come on Arnav ... come on", said Rahul as he got hell worried when the pulse dropped to 10 ..9 ...8

"where would have I gone when I knew you needed me", said Khushi.

"I will always be here with you"...

Khushi head now move more, "Arnavji ..." a small whisper escape her lips. Garima and Buaji looked at each other worried and shocked.

"Always?", asked Arnav like a child. Khushi smiled and said "Always".

5 ...4 ... 3 ...2 ...1 ...0 ... Pulse stop ... A thin line appear on the monitor.

"Dammit ...No ... Arnav ... you cant do this ... we need you", said Rahul out loud as he press and press his chest hard.

"Dr. Rahul ... stop ... his pulse stop ... he is no ...", Dr. Kapoor was saying when Rahul cut him

"NO ...", shouted Rahul .. "Don't say that ..."

Turning to nurse ... "Give me the defibrillation machine NOW ..!!".

"You ... YOU ... ARRE .. MMYY ... NNEEW DRREAM Khushi ... my nn..ew.. ddd...rrream", said Arnav. "And you are mine", said Khushi holding his face.

"Khu ...shii ... I ... LLL ..LLOOO ", Arnav choked and then ... blacked out.

"Arnavjii ..." Khushi eyes open with a jerk and she sit up.

"Bitya...", said Garima, who was sitting beside the bed, standing up. Khushi quickly move out of bed and stand up but Garima held her. "Bitya ... lay down you are not well", said Garima but Khushi move her hands away.

"Arnavji ... I have to go to Arnavji", said Khushi move towards the door.

"Khushi bitya ... calm down ... he is being operated now ... you cant ...", as Buaji was saying to hold her back but Khushi again move his hands aside.

"I WANT TO GO TO ARNAVJI", yelled Khushi and jerking Buaji's hand away she run out of the room.

Shashi had just enter the room when Khushi run past him, "Khushi ...", he shouted startled to see Khushi running out of room, "Khushi .. oyee Khushi ...", Buaji too shouted coming out of the room but Khushi didn't stop. Shashi, Garima and Buaji also hurried behind Khushi.

----------

"turn the power to max ...", said Rahul to the nurse who nodded.

"Ok ready ... GO ..!!", said Rahul and smack the defibrillation hands on Arnav chest.

ZINGG ...

the sound resonated in OT ... Arnav's body jerk up due to electric stroke.

"No Pulse ..", said the nurse.

"AGAIN ...", said Rahul as the nurse power up the machine again ...

---------

Khushi run in the corridor, turning to next ... she was looking for the OT ... luckily she read the board pointing towards OT ... she turn to left corridor and run. Shashi was running behind her calling her to stop. But Khushi wasn't listening ... only one thought was going on her mind is ... to go to Arnav.

----------

ZIINNGG ... Arnav body jerk up.

"Dammit Arnav ... don't do this to me buddy ... come on Arnav", said Rahul and shouted "AGAIN ..." as he smack the defibrillation hands on Arnav chest and his body jerk up.

----------

Hearing the shouts of Khushi's name everyone around OT turn and got startle to see Khushi running towards the OT. NK quickly came ahead the stop Khushi.

"Khushi ... stop ... STOP", said NK loudly as Khushi was struggling to get out of his hold.

"I want to go to Arnavji .. he is calling me ... leave me", said Khushi hurriedly but NK didn't let her go.

"Khushi ... Khushi calm down ... Arnav is going to be fine", said NK worriedly as he saw Khushi's condition.

"NO ... YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ... ARNAVJI NEEDS ME ... LET GO OF ME", shouted Khushi.

Payal, Lavanya and Anjali cried seeing Khushi's condition. Aman, Akash and Mamaji was also standing there getting panicked.

----------

"AGAIN ...", shouted Rahul and stroke Arnav chest with defibrillation.

NO BEEP ... NO PULSE.

"DAMMIT ... Arnav ... COME ON ... DON'T DIE ON ME", shouted Rahul as he again stroke Arnav's chest .

ZINNGG ... Arnav's body jerk up again but no beep.

----------

"Bitya please ... sambhalo apne ap ko (get hold of yourself)", said Garima coming near to Khushi.

"NO ... NO ... LEAVE ME...", shouted Khushi and then gathering all her force she jerk NK's hand and move towards OT door. She had just touched the door when NK twirl her back grabbing her arm. Not liking someone to stop her from going to Arnav she turn and slapped NK ... NK left Khushi as he couldn't believe that Khushi have slapped him. Everyone got shock at that as well. Khushi open the door and went in.

"Arnavjii ...", said Khushi out loud as she move towards the Operation table. The nurse tried to stop her but Khushi jerk her away. Rahul had the defibrillation hands ready to stroke Arnav again but he stopped seeing Khushi coming to Arnav.

"What ... how she gets in .. take her out", said Dr. Kapoor looking at the nurses.

"Arnavji ... Im here .. see I am here", said Khushi who put her hands on Arnav's face.

Dr. Kapoor was about to grab Khushi when Rahul stopped him. He wanted to see if that miracle can happen which is called true love.

"Arnavji ... look ... I am fine ... I am alright ... see you don't have to worry ... just come back to me ... please come back to me", said Khushi with crying voice as she runs her hands on Arnav's face and hair. Her tears fell on his cheeks.

No pulse ... No beep ... No movement.

Khushi took Arnav's hand and put it on her chest above her heart. "See Arnavji ... my heart is beating only for you ... (DHAK DHAK) ... can you feel it Arnav ji ... (DHAK DHAK) ... please come back to me", said Khushi crying badly to see Arnav still on the operation table. Khushi bend and kiss Arnav at corner of his lips.

"Please ... please come back", she whisper close on his lips.

Just then there was a small sound in the room ..

BEEP ...

then again BEEP... BEEP ... BEEP ...

"the pulse is back ...", said Dr. Kapoor looking at the monitor with unbelievable look.

Hearing this Rahul put the defibrillation hands down and went to check Arnav's pulse and started pressing his chest.

"Come on Arnav ... come on ...", said Rahul as he pressed on his chest again and again.

Just then Arnav coughed and breath a small gasped. Rahul stopped pressing and look at Arnav. Khushi smile seeing that and grabs Arnav hand tight.

"Kkk .hhu..s..ssh..hi..iii", coughed Arnav.

"Arnavji .. I am here ... your Khushi is here with you", said Khushi smiling through tears.

BEEP BEEP BEEP... the sound got faster ... so was Arnav's breathing.

"Heart rate up to 44 ... 48 ... 53 ... 60 ...", said Dr. Kapoor ... Arnav started to breath in large gasps. Rahul quickly put the oxygen mask back on Arnav to labor his breathing. Then Rahul quickly inject Arnav to make blood flow with ease. This fluid will help his heart rate to go on normal speed.

Just then Arnav open his eyes slightly and saw Khushi .. "Khushi ...", he whispers and Khushi give a big smile nodding her head ... "I am here Arnavji .. I am here ...", said Khushi caressing his hair .. and then Arnav close his eyes again as if he just want the assurance of her being here and got that.

"Khushi ... its alright .. he is fine now", said Rahul as his breathing got normal too and look at Khushi to assure her. Nodding her head Khushi try to move back but Arnav's hold on her hand stopped her. She tried to take her hand back but Arnav's grip was strong ... like he didn't want Khushi to go away. Rahul saw that and smile.

"Its ok ..", said Rahul to Khushi and look at Dr. Kapoor who was still somewhere in state of not believing.

Just then Rahul eyes fell on the door of OT and smile alittle seeing everyone standing there ... his eye catches Anjali's who was smiling while crying ... she nodded her head understanding what Rahul wanted to say.

Khushi and Arnav love breaks every boundary today ... its needs no proof now.

Aman who haven't cried yet ... his eyes got moist as few tears flow down ... the scene itself was so emotional ... the love of Arnav and Khushi for each had moved every soul present there. They all were shocked, surprise and astonish at the same time ... the intensity was such that they can even feel it around them.

Khushi stood there holding Arnav's hand as Dr. Kapoor bandage Arnav's wound. Another 10 minutes and Arnav's heart rate was on normal speed 98 ... 99 .. the BP was still low but not dangerous. Rahul take the oxygen mask off to see if Arnav could breathe normal on his own and yes it was. Rahul took a big sigh of relief ... the horror of losing him ebbing away.

Rahul came to Khushi and side hug her, "you done brilliantly Khushi ... you brought him back", said Rahul as he kiss her temple.

"He ... he ... is fine na", said Khushi ... the tears still flowing down.

"yes he is ... you have to go now Khushi", said Rahul and Khushi shakes her head quickly.

"We have to shift him to other room Khushi ... he needs rest", said Rahul with assuring tone and Khushi nods her head understanding it. She takes Arnav's hand off hers, though it took some seconds to do it as Arnav's grip was tight.

Khushi move back 2, 3 step and then turn back. She got startle to see everyone standing at the door watching all this with dumbfounded faces. Khushi quickly move ahead and hug Payal tight ... and cried on her shoulder. Payal hug her and rub her back to sooth her. Garima came to her and stroke her head lovingly. They all slowly move out of OT.

After some time the OT door open and doctors came out with Arnav on stretcher. Everyone stood up, Anjali and Khushi quickly move to Arnav.

Rahul instantly came and hold Anjali, "Rahul .. chottey .. letme see him na please", sobbed Anjali.

"You will dear ... let us just shift him to ICU first ... ok", said Rahul as he hug Anjali and look to Khushi ... who nodded understanding his meaning. Everyone slowly followed the doctor towards ICU room. Dr. Pooja take Lavanya to the other room to take her blood.

After 15- 20 minutes Dr. Kapoor had adjusted Arnav in ICU, he put a cast on his left arm, as due to bullet his tissuse were wounded so it will take time for his arm to move freely. He came out of room giving a GO gesture to Rahul.

"Lets just don't go all in there ok ... Khushi ..", said Rahul and gesture Khushi. Then Rahul take Anjali inside the room, Khushi followed.

Anjali rush to Arnav's bed, caresses his hair. "Chottey", she cried seeing him unconscious. On the other side Khushi holds his hand.

"He is fine Anjali ... he is under the effects of sedative ... it will take some hours for him to get conscious. Nothing to worry about", said Rahul and then looks at Khushi who was also attune to what Rahul was saying.

Then one by one everyone came to see Arnav. Rahul gestures all to leave.

"Khushi come on lets go ... let him rest", said Rahul

"No ... I want to stay here please", said Khushi.

Rahul knew its hard for her to leave from here but he also knew that she needed rest as well. So he tries another trick.

"Don't you want to see Arush? ... he had been asking for you since yesterday", said Rahul and that did make Khushi divert her mind.

Arush ... She haven't thought of him all this while, thought Khushi as her heart thudded for her baby.

Khushi nodded her head.

"Then go home ... meet him ... get fresh ... eat something ... Arnav will feel bad to see your this state", said Rahul looking at Anjali as well.

Rahul made every one go home giving the same reason of Arnav feeling bad. Mamaji had asked Gupta family to come to Shantivan as Khushi will be going there as well. First time Garima didn't argue and agreed immediately. So they all left the hospital.

"Lavanya ... come I will drop you", said Aman as they walk out of hospital.

"I will go by my own", said Lavanya is a strict tone and Aman was taken back with her tone.

"Lavanya ..", Aman hold her hand but she jerk away.

"Don't touch me", said Lavanya being angry.

"Why? What happened?", asked Aman worried at her behavour

"What happened? You asking me that", said Lavanya in anger as she poke his chest.

"Khushi got kidnapped ... for whole day she was missing and you didn't inform me ... you went with Akash and ASR to rescue her still you didn't tell me ... am I not worth it haan ... for god sake I am also their friend and I had a right to know If they are in trouble", said Lavanya hurriedly and then turn away to go.

"Lavanya wait ... listen ASR told us not to tell anyone", said Aman as he walk beside her.

"And you ... didnt you turst me ... you think that i will blabber about it to the world ... you should have told me ... I guess you don't trust me enough", said Lavanya and she got in her car. Aman tried to stop her but in vain ... she drove away.

"Shit ...", exclaimed Aman ... now he have to console her. He haven't thought of this reaction from her.

------------------- Around 9:30 pm - @ Shantivan

"Khushi bitya ..." exclaimed Nani with teary eyes as she saw Khushi coming towards the living room with Anjali. Nani instantly stood up and hug Khushi tightly. Seeing the affection tears came to Khushi's eyes as well.

"How are you bitya? You are not hurt are you?", asked Nani breaking the hug and Khushi shakes her head in NO.

"And chottey ... Anjali bitya how is my chottey?", asked Nani looking at Anjali.

"He is fine now Nani ... thanks to Devi Maiya nothing serious happen to him", said Anjali as she give a small smile.

"I want to see him ... I want to see my bitwa", said Nani as Mamaji came there to console his mother.

"Ma ji ... Arnav bitwa is not conscious ... Rahul bitwa said it will take him time to wake up ... Don't worry I will take you to hospital tomorrow", said Mamaji hugging his mother.

Mamaji gesture his wife, who took Nani ji to her room and Mamaji followed.

Akash asked the Gupta family to rest and he went to his room to freshen up. Khushi went to Anjali's room with her. Shobah stood up seeing Khushi coming in.

"How are you Mam?", asked Shobah, Anjali had told her little bit of whats happening ... she can trust her as she was with them from past two years looking after Arush.

"I am fine", said Khushi giving a small smile and went to bed where Arush was sleeping.

"He slept?", asked Anjali looking at Shobah.

"Yes Mam ... he was crying so much ... he haven't eaten properly nor drink milk ... I guess he just got exhausted due to crying ... he was constantly asking for ...", Shobah stopped as she look towards Khushi. Khushi understood her meaning. She carefully take sleeping Arush in her lap and caresses his hair and cheeks and rain kisses all over his face.

As if sensing Khushi's touch Arush stir and then after few seconds slowly open his eyes.

"Ma mm ma ...", said Arush in small sleepy voice as he saw Khushi's face.

"yes my baby ... Mama is here", said Khushi as she smile through tears. She felt very bad listening to that Arush was calling for her all this while and she couldn't hold him close.

"Maaammma .. Mamaamaa" exclaimed Arush his voice getting higher as he realize that Khushi was here in real.

Khushi instantly hug him, rub his back, kiss his cheeks ... his hands ... Arush happily tap her cheeks ... give a bite to her nose.

"owww ...", Khushi made a pouting face. "Bad baby ... don't do that". Arush giggle at that feeling happy to be in his mother's embrace.

"Mammmaaa adayi ... adayi ... (Mamma came)", said Arush in his baby voice.

"Awwh baby ne mama ko mish kiya? (Awwh baby missed his mama?)", said Khushi making her voice baby like.

"Alush mish tiya ...", said Arush and Khushi give him a noisy kiss on cheek.

"Mama too miss her Arush baby so much", said Khushi and hug him ... kiss him and caresses him.

Shobah and Anjali stood there watching the mother son bond. Anjali wipes her tears feeling happy that now she doesn't have to see Arush longing for his Mama. Shobah was happy too, as her heart was aching seeing the little baby crying bitterly for his mother. Anjali asked Shobah to bring some milk and cerelac for Arush. Shobah went out of the room. Anjali asked Khushi to get fresh as well. It was not easy for Khushi to go as Arush was clinging to her and when Anjali took him by little force he started to cry calling his Mama. Khushi console him and tell him in their secret way, what she only do with Arush, that his mama will be back. And Arush was calm down after a while.

As Khushi stood under the shower, she thought of all the things happen today and yesterday ... these two days were the most crucial ones of her life. She was never afraid like this even when her parents die like she was today.

Seeing Arnav struggling for life ... she left like her own life is leaving her. When she was locked in that room, she had thought of her parents, friends and Arush ... but only one person was constant on her mind and heart ... Arnav ... only Arnav.

That time she knew that without Arnav her life means nothing ... nothing matters anymore ... if Arnav is there then she is ... if not then she also don't want to be here.

Khushi quickly finishes her shower, wear fresh clothes, light yellow Kurta Churidar. She wanted to go to Arnav ... but some where she had little peace that he is out of danger ... and now seeing Arush longing ... she do want to spend some time with him. So she made him eat some cerelac and milk. She changed his clothes ... then play with him for an hour and then make him sleep singing a lullaby song, which she always sung only for him.

Khushi requested Shobah to stay here for night to look after Arush, for which she oblige happily. Khushi then went to her parents and tell them that she wants to go to Arnav. Shashi and Garima didn't argue as they have seen that how much Arnav means to her ... what happened in hospital was proof enough for everyone. Though Garima wanted to go with her as she was worried for her daughter but Shashi stopped her telling her that only thing Khushi needs is now Arnav. But still Payal accompany her to the hospital to ensure her parents about Khushi.

-------------------- Around 1 am @ Hospital

Rahul smiled seeing Anjali and Khushi coming ... Akash and Payal following behind.

"Khushi ... how are you now?", asked Rahul as he lovingly pat Khushi's head.

Khushi just nodded her head, "Ar..rna ..avji ... how is he?", asked Khushi trying hard not to cry. Rahul smile and side hug her squeezing her shoulder.

"He is fine stupid ... what can happen to him when you are there with him ... haan?", said Rahul and Khushi sob a little as she couldn't control now.

"Do you wana see him?", asked Rahul and Khushi instantly nods her head like a child. Rahul took her inside ICU ... where Arnav was lying. Khushi silently cry more seeing him there ... lying unconscious and hurt. Khushi sat on the stool beside the bed on right side and held his hand, kiss it and put it against her cheek.

Arnavji ... please open your eyes ... I wana see you looking at me ... talking to me, thought Khushi as tears roll down on her cheeks.

Anjali bend over Arnav ... kiss his forehead and caresses his hair ... Rahul came to her and side hug her. Akash came and stood beside them watching his brother. Finally feeling relieved seeing him safe. Payal stood behind Khushi ... caressing her head lightly.

After some time Rahul remember something and he asked out loud, "Hey did you guys ate anything?". Anjali look down while Akash shakes his head. Khushi avert her eyes.

"Come on yaar ... whats the use of depriving yourself from food. It won't do any good to Arnav ... besides he will feel bad knowing that what you guys doing to yourself", said Rahul sternly and then he move towards the door saying, "I will bring something to eat".

"No .. Rahul bhai .. I ...", Khushi was about to deny when Rahul sternly look at her, "you shut up ... I know whats right for you ... ok". Saying that Rahul went out of the room.

After some time he came back with some sandwiches, Juices and apples. Khushi and Anjali both deny to eat but Rahul shut them up giving an angry look and make them eat and drink juice.

Payal take a bite of sandwich ... she likes the way Rahul was making Khushi eat her sandwich ... just like a dad trying to make her daughter eat. She frowns a little not seeing Akash there ... She went out of the room and saw him sitting on the chair ... with juice bottle in hand, still full. Payal took a sandwich and then went to him. She sits beside him and offers him a sandwich with a smile. Akash smile a little but deny with the gesture of his hand that he didn't want it.

"Akash ji ... you have to eat ... didn't you hear what Rahul bhai said it won't do any good to Arnavji ... how will you take care of him when you will feel weak from not eating", said Payal as she hand him the sandwich and take the juice bottle from him and opened it and give him back. Akash started to eat his sandwich and Payal too.

"um .. I want to thank you Akash ji", said Payal after finishing her sandwich. Akash raise his eyes asking the question "for what" ... taking the last bite of the sandwich.

"For what you did to save Khushi", said Payal

"I didn't even did the 1% of what Bhai did", said Akash sadly. "He didn't even hesitate for a second before jumping and taking the bullet ... saving Khushi".

"I saw with my own eyes, bhai getting shot ... it ... it ..wa...ss.. s..sooo ..hoorrif...ffying", said Akash in choked voice as he grip the bottle tightly. Payal put her hand on his and squeeze a little.

"Arnavji is fine now", said Payal in soft voice.

Akash nods his head, "Yeah ... I am glad but still my whole being just shakes up thinking what if ... what if we had lost him.". Payal quickly shakes her head telling him not to think that.

"You know whatever I am today is because of bhai ... what we have today ... the name ... the comforts of life ... my education ... knowledge of business ... is only because of him ... he worked so hard for all this ... and I know I can never repay him for that. People say that he is arrogant, short temper and egoistic ... but to me he is the best brother in the world ... he is the strongest pillar of our family ... our base ... our strength ... I really don't know what we would do without him", said Akash as his voice got heavy with emotions.

"And seeing him ... lying there ... it just hurts ... alot", said Akash as he gulped.

"I know ... we felt the same about Khushi ... though she is youngest but she is the life of our family ... and she had kept us all together as one ... we can't imagine our lives without her", said Payal.

"Thanks Payal ji", said Akash after some seconds. "for?", asked Payal.

"for comforting me", said Akash looking at Payal in the eyes, "I mean for listening to me".

"Why not ... you did the same when I was worried for Khushi", said Payal and Akash smile at her.

"And beside we are friends now and friends take care of each other", said Payal smiling.

"We are?", said Akash in surprise.

"Yes we are ...", said Payal as she gesture towards her hand which was holding his. Akash too look down and felt contended after the long day.

-------------------- After 1 n half hour ...

Devi Maiya please make Arnavji get conscious ... please ... I can't bare anymore seeing him lying there like this ... it pains me so much that he in this state because of me ... please Devi Maiya ... make him open his eyes ... I want to talk to him ... hug him ... please Devi Maiya ... give me all his pain and make him alright ... please ... I cannot live without him ... he is my love ... my life ... my everything Devi Maiya ... make him conscious now ... pleasseee ..!!!

Khushi prayed standing in front of the small Devi Maiya Idol.

She had been praying from last 20 minutes ... the same pray over and over again ... her cheeks were drenched with tears.

On the other side, Arnav's body stir a little ... his head move to right slightly. "Chottey", Anjali called him seeing his head move. Arnav breathe a heavy once, twice ... his eyes flicker.

"Chottey ... Chottey", said Anjali loudly as she stood up and bend over him caressing his hair and cheeks.

Listening to her voice Akash came in .. "Di ...".

"Akash ... call Rahul now ... I guess chottey is getting conscious", exclaimed Anjali happily. Akash rush out of room. Payal who hear that also run towards the first floor ... where a small mandir was, she knew Khushi had gone there.

Arnav coughed and he opens his eyes, "Chottey ... ", said Anjali with moist eyes.

"Di", said Arnav in low voice. Anjali nods her head, "yes chottey I am here ...".

Arnav gasps few times ... move his head to left and right ... getting rid of the dizziness.

"Di ... Khu..sh..hii", said Arnav with difficulty as he felt pain on his chest and left arm.

"She is fine Chottey ... she is fine ... she is here", said Anjali stroking his cheek. Arnav look around the room but didn't see Khushi there. Just then the door open and Rahul, Akash came in.

"Bhai ...", exclaimed Akash happily seeing his brother conscious now. Anjali step aside giving Rahul a way. He quickly check his vitals and pulse ... check the monitors on the left.

"How are you feeling now Arnav?", asked Rahul.

"Khuu..shii ... whh...ere.. iss. Khu..shi", said Arnav as he tried to sit up. Rahul quickly stopped him.

"Arnav no ... just lay down ... you're are weak", said Rahul.

----------

"Khushi ...", shouted Payal as her eyes fell on her figure. Khushi turn hearing her name and saw Payal running to her.

"Arnavji ... is getting conscious now", said Payal as she came near. Khushi smile wide listening to it then turns to Devi Maiya ... thanked her with gesture of hands and then run towards the stairs to go to Arnav.

----------

"No ... I ... I want ... to .. go .. to Khushi ..", said Arnav as he try to sit up again.

"Arnav please understand ... its not good for you", said Rahul and then turn towards Anjali, "Where is Khushi?".

"She went out some time ago", said Anjali not knowing where Khushi was.

"But she was not outside ...", said Akash.

Hearing this Arnav sit up with force ... Rahul tried to stop him but Arnav didn't listen.

"NO ..." this time Arnav said loudly ... "I want to see her ... I want to go to her", Arnav tried to move Rahul who was trying to make Arnav lay back down on bed.

"Chottey please don't worry ... Khushi is fine ... she is here ... she may be gone to washroom or something", said Anjali trying to make Arnav understand.

Arnav shakes his head and Push Rahul with his right hand with force ... pain shot through his left side ... he winces loudly.

"Arnav .." ... "Bhai ..." said both Rahul and Akash at the same tine seeing him in pain.

"Bhai please ... listen to Jiju", said Akash as he put his hand on Arnav's shoulder.

"WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ... I NEED TO GO TO KHUSHI..", shouted Arnav.

Rahul, Anjali and Akash were taken aback with his sudden burst. As they all move a step back

Before anyone could say something else ... they hears a faint voice ...

"Arnavji .."

All turn to look at the door ... Khushi was standing there ... her eyes teary. She took slow steps towards Arnav.

"Khushi ...", said Arnav extending his right hand to her. Khushi quickly came on right side of the bed ... sitting beside him ... she hugs him. Arnav wound his right arm around her ... bringing her more close. Khushi wound her right arm around Arnav's waist and her left hand garbs his shoulder from behind.

Khushi sobbed in his embrace ... finally at home ... in her Arnav's arms.

Rahul takes Anjali's hand and move towards the door ... Anjali open her mouth to say something but Rahul stop her, "leave them alone for a while Anjali ... they need each other more than anyone else". Then gesturing to Akash, Rahul takes Anjali out. Akash turns and saw Payal standing at the door. He came to her and smile at her which she return back. He close the door behind them ... leaving the two souls alone inside.

After few minutes when Khushi's sobs subside ... Arnav break the hug and shakes his head looking into her eyes telling her not to cry anymore.

"Tum thek ho? ... (Are you alright?)", Arnav asked his usual question which is only reserve for Khushi ... his eyes roam on her face ... feeling bad seeing sratches on her foerhead

"Ji ... aur ap? (Yes ... and you?)", said Khushi as she caresses his check while other arm was still wound around his waist.

"Much ... much better", said Arnav with a smile. Khushi smiles too. Arnav eyes fell on the curve of her lips and he lean down brushing her lips with his. Khushi hold his cheeks and deepen the kiss ... Arnav got surprise at her boldness ... whenever they have kissed before ... Arnav has initiated the kiss always and it took her some time to overcome her shyness and to respond back ... but this time Khushi didn't even hesitate for a second and this had surprise him but nevertheless made him happy.

Soon their mouth fused together ... Arnav bring his hand up and tangle it in her hair. Khushi put her hands lightly around his neck; his skin was burning hot ... some due to the wound and some due to the effect of the kiss as Arnav was feeling aroused. Through the thin material of hospital gown Khushi could feel the muscles of his shoulders ... hard and smooth.

The kiss was not of passion ... not of desire ... but more of longing.

The longing to be together ... so they kiss with their heart pouring their love ... holding each other in their warm embraces. As wanting to dig in his warmth more ... Khushi push her into him and then Arnav winces breaking the kiss.

"What? ... lagi kiya? (did it hurt?)", asked Khushi in an innocent way. Arnav look at surprise raising his eyebrow.

"Acha hua ... kis ne kaha tha wo stunt kerne ko? (Good ... who told you to do that stunt?)", said Khushi in angry tone.

Arnav pull her wounding his arm around her waist. "Doobara aisa hua to phir se karun ga (If something like this happen again then i will do it again)", said Arnav with burning intensity.

Khushi quickly place her hand on his lips, shaking her head ... telling him not to say such things.

"Ik pal k liye mujey laga k mein tumhain kho dunga (For a moment i felt like i will lose you)", said Arnav as he lean his forehead on hers.

"Humain bhi ... (me too)", whispers Khushi.

"Wada karo mujsey Khushi ... wada karo k mujey chotr ker khabi nahi jao gi (Promise me Khushi ... promise me that you won't leave me ever)", said Arnav in pleading tone.

"Kahan jayeinge hum Arnavji ... jub ap k bagair reh nahi sakhti toh jane ka sawal hi nahi (Where will i go Arnavji ... when i can't live without you then there is no question of leaving)", said Khushi in her assuring voice.

Listening to this Arnav opens his eyes ... "Khushi ... I ...", Arnav wanted to confess but Khushi quickly place her finger on his lips ... shakes her head slightly.

"Hum samajhtey hein ... kuch mut kahain bus (I understand ... just don't say anything)", said Khushi ... she didn't want to hear those 3 words ... because to her those words are nothing in front of what Arnav did to save her life ... she owes her life to him.

They continued to hold each other, silently staring into each others eyes. After a minute or two ... Khushi yawns and Arnav chuckles.

"Sleepy haan", said Arnav and then remembering something he asked leaning back, "Have you eaten something? Those bas***ds didn't left you starving did they?" in the end his voice became angry.

"I did eat then and I have eaten now ... Rahul bhai insist me ... I didn't want to", pouted Khushi and Arnav give a quick smooch on her lips, "I am glad he did".

Khushi gasped, "Haww ... you haven't eaten too ... let me bring something for you", Khushi was about to get up but Arnav pull her back.

"No ... don't go ..", said Arnav in childlike tone.

"Arnavji ... I am just gona get something for you", said Khushi.

"No ... I just need you ... please stay", said Arnav as he pull her close.

"I am here ...", said Khushi and then yawn again.

"Sleepy head ... come on ..", said Arnav as he lean back on bed ... Khushi helps him in laying down ... Arnav make some space for Khushi ... she lay down beside him placing her head on his chest on right side. The beating of his heart was audible, she was happy to listen to its sound ... as she shiver a little remembering the scene in OT room when his heart was not beating.

"You ok?", asked Arnav as he felt her shiver.

"Much ... much better", Khushi repeat his words. Arnav chuckled hearing that ... he stroked her hair gently, planting a loving kiss on her head and then nuzzling his nose against it. Khushi pats his chest lightly. The beating of his heart soon lull Khushi into sleep and Arnav follows her after some time holding her close ... the wait ... the longing finally ended.

--------------------

"Anjali let them spend some time together yaar ... they need it more than us", said Rahul trying to make Anjali understand not to disturb the couple.

"its been more than half hour ok ... I want to be with my brother too ... I promise I won't take long ... just few minutes .. please na", said Anjali pleading him.

"Khushi needs rest too Rahul bhai ... she haven't laid down even for a minute back at Shantivan", said Payal worrying for her sister.

Rahul raise his hands in surrendering ... Anjali give a wide smile and went to the ICU room ... but soon she stopped in her tracks when her eyes fell on the bed. Payal bump into her, "ohh .. sorry .. Anja ...", Payal too stopped saying when her eyes fell on bed.

"Now why you two stop here?", said Akash who also came beside them ... he follow their gaze and smile wide.

Arnav and Khushi were sleeping in each other embrace ... oblivious to the world.

"See I told you not to disturb them", said Rahul smirking at the view. Anjali and Payal giggle and blushed a little looking at each other.

"Come on lets go ... leave the love birds alone", said Rahul and hold both Anjali and Payal's arms and drag them out of the room ... Akash too follows shaking his head and smirking ... happy for his brother ... as he had seen the pain he was going through being away from Khushi.

TO BE CONTINUED ...

""whole scene of Khushi shouting that Arnav cant leave her ... then Arnav getting electric strokes to bring his heart back to beating and Khushi running to go to him ... slapping some one who tries to stop her ... then putting Arnav's hand on her chest ... asking him to come back"" ... all this was my actual dream.

when i started this FF ... i use to have dreams of different situations and this hospital one was also one of them ... i so wanted to show this into my story thats why i have to create a scenario where Arnav gets badly hurt ... i did thought of some car or bus accident but then it was common ... i wanted to do something which shows two lovers longing for each other and other people witnessing the intensity of their love ... thats why this chapter is important for my story.

i also know these things happen usually don't happen in real life ... but again ... its a fiction world and anything can happen here ... just like in movies ... 😆

oh yeah this is defibrillation machine ... and the placement of its hand on chest when you give electric stroke to someone, to bring back his heart to beating.

waiting for you comments ... and do press LIKE as well 😳
