Part 7
Arman smiled at Riddhima as she walked away with Muskaan. Riddhima waved good-bye as she walked. She was wearing some jeans and a long sleeved shirt with some tennis shoes. As she walked she bumped into a chair and said "sorry" to the chair embarrassed she kept walking.
Muskaan smiled, and right then Rahul came out from the side. Muskaan looked and him and said "where have you been?!" I was looking for you" Rahul looked at her and got closer to her, "oh really why?" Muskaan looked and him "are you on something? Let me go, just cause I was looking for you doesn't mean that I like you or something." Rahul said, "are you stupid? Just cause I got close to you to…" he took a little bit of lint or something out of her hair "doesn't mean I like you either. Anyways why were you looking for me?" She looked at him as if she could punch him. "Well Ms. Wichelmen the patient on the 2nd floor was asking for you because apparently you said there was a way she could be home within the next week, if you get a chance, go visit her."
Rahul looked at Muskaan and smiled. "Alright. Anything else?" Muskaan nodded her head no and said Bye and walked away with Riddhima right behind her.

On the other side of town Prem had just reached back to Heer's house. He parked the car and grabbed Heer's hand, "Did I ever tell you how much you mean to me" Heer leaned in and put her head on his chest "NO. You never told me that before." Heer smiled as she moved her head looking for the perfect place to keep her head. Prem looked down at her and stared into her brown eyes, "well, I'll tell you right now, I love…" Heer stared right back waiting for the last part as he leaned in as if he was going to kiss her, she waited and he got really close and then kissed her on her forehead."Now let me drop you inside before mama, baba, bhaiya and bhabi get worried." Heer pulled him in, "No way, you better finish telling me what you were going to, otherwise I'm gonna stay in the car." Prem pulled her in even closer "you know I don't mind staying in the car with you all night either but I am so…" he yawned, "sleepy." Heer let him go and sat in her seat and rolled her eyes, "fine, bye." She opened the door; Prem pulled her back in, "How can I let my jaan leave like that?" He put his head in her lap "You know I am gonna miss just hanging out in front of your house after we get married." Heer giggled "oh really?" she said as she put her head on his arm. Prem kissed her lightly on her cheek and said "I love you Heer, you mean the world to me." Heer moved her head facing the seat as she blushed." Prem looked at her "Okay now let's go." He got up and out of his car and went to the other side and opened Heer's door for her. He took the cards out from the back seat, and they both walked towards the house. Lakshya bhaiya opened the door. "Shukar hai tum loog wapis aa gaye. I was wondering where you were Heer." Prem hugged Lakshya, "hey bhaiya, how are you?" Lakshya looked at Prem "I am fine, just getting things ready for the wedding."

On the other side of town Riddhima was dropped off at her house, just as Muskaan had gotten to her driveway Rahul called her. Muskaan looked at the phone, Rahul? She answered the phone "Hello." Rahul on the other side panicked told her to get back to the hospital Mr. Jones down in the ICU was unstable. Riddhima said "Muskaan let's go hurry." Muskaan looked at Riddhima "It's okay jaan I got it, I'll be fine you go rest, you have been working for 18 hours, get out fast I gotta go." Riddhima looked at Muskaan and got out the car.
Muskaan rushed to the hospital, practically running to the ICU, she walked in. Rahul was standing there trying to get Mr. J's pulse back to normal. Muskaan looked at the charts trying to figure out what happened, she went and got some Metaphormine and injected it into his blood stream. As Mr. J stabilized Muskaan could feel her heart beat becoming normal again. Rahul was standing next to her she grabbed his hand for assurance, he held her hand nice and tight. Mr. J looked at Muskaan and smiled assuring her everything was fine. Muskaan asked Mr. J if he needed anything, he smiled and said "Just gimme your nice big smile and I'll be fine." Muskaan smiled "Alright then Mr. Jones if you need anything just buzz the nurse on duty and I will see you later n tomorrow." Mr. J smiled "Yes, ma'am." Muskaan looked at Rahul and realized she was still holding on to his hand she let go and asked him if he wanted to go have coffee. He looked at her and smiled "sure." Muskaan and Rahul started walking towards the caf just then she felt dizzy, she held on to Rahul, Rahul looked at her worried, and within seconds Muskaan fainted. Rahul picked her up rushing her to a room. He put her on the bed, "Muskaan, are you okay? Muskaan" he practically yelled waiting for a response impatiently. She responded "I'll be fine just give me a few minutes." Rahul looked at her, "okay he said." She woke up and as she struggled to get up Rahul held her hand pulling her up while supporting her back with his other hand. Muskaan looked into Rahul's eyes for a while before she snapped out of it.
Rahul looked at Muskaan. "What just happened?" She looked right back at him "I have no clue." Just as she said that she hugged Rahul so tight, that Rahul got worried. "Look Muskaan, I know you are not stupid, yes we fight a lot, but you know I have loved you for a long time and I'll do anything for you. Tell me what's wrong." Muskaan hugged him again as tight as she could. "I know you love me, but I didn't wanna love you back, I tried that but it didn't work. Rahul I have…."
