Part - 12A
Doctor just smiled at that and asked him to take rest. He walked out and informed the team about Sameer.
Before anyone could say anything or even think of going inside, Aayesha went inside the ICU.
Sameer looked at her and then looked away. She sat beside him and took his hand in hers.
"Sameer...I..."
"Mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni Aayesha...please chali jao..." Sameer interrupted her.
"Please...sirf ik baar..." Aayesha pleaded.
"(looks at her) Please..." Sameer replied.
A teary eyed Aayesha walked out of the ICU. Before anyone could ask her something she left the hospital premises.

Later that day,
"Shayad ik ehsaan bhi chuka diya meine uska...ik aisa ehsaan jo shayad kabhi nahi chuka pata..." Vikas spoke up, as Aayesha looked at him.
He picked up a pebble and threw it away,
"Kuch saal pehle usne Shamira...Shamira ko bachaya tha...meri fiancee hai Shamira...humari engagement ceremony thi uss din...aur Shamira aur uski family ka accident hote hote bacha tha...just because of Sameer..."
"Woh bahut ache insaan hai...bahut ache...par na jaane kyun meine itni der laga di sach jaan ne aur pehchan ne mein...kaash pehle hi pata chal jaata ki mein unse...(after a pause) mein unse bahut pyaar karti hunn...shayad ussi din ussi waqt pata chal jaata toh shayad yeh sab na hota..." Aayesha spoke up.
Vi : "Aayesha mein waada toh nahi kar sakta lekin koshish zaroor karunga use samjhane ki..."
Aa : "Aapko lagta hai ki aapke samjhane se woh samajh jayenge..."
Vi : "Koshish karne mein kya jaata hai..."
Aa : "Woh bhi hai...par filhaal ke liye mein sirf yeh chahti hunn ke woh theek ho jayein..."
Vikas nodded in +ve and dropped her at her place.

2 days later,
"Hum usse ghar le jaa sakte hain?" Vikas asked the doctor.
Doc : "Sach bolun toh unhein yahin rehna chahiye kuch aur din...not much...just 3-4 days..."
VK : "Doctor please...I ensure hum uska pura dhyan rakhenge...please..."
Doc : "Theek hai...par iss baat ka dhyan rakhein ki unki infection abhi tak theek nahi huyi hai...issliye unhein ghar se bahar bilkul na nikalne de...like in the open...gardens wagahra mein woh na jaaye kuch din..."
VK : "I'll make sure ki sab kuch theek ho...aap apni taraf se sab kar dijiye..."
He thanked the doctor and went out.
"Team..." he called out.
The team walked towards him,
"Listen...doctor ne Sameer ko ghar le jaane ki permission dedi hai...par iska matlab yeh nahi ki hum carefree ho jayein...jahaan tak mujhe pata hai...ho sakta hai Sikandar dubara kuch karne ki koshish kare...Shree, ghar ke bahaar mujhe cctcv chahiye...har aane jaane waali ki khabar honi chahiye...Chotu mujhe Sameer ke flat ke bahaar 2 trained security officers chahiye...aur uss appartment ke area mein civil dress mein 4 aur officers chahiye...aur Aayesha tum Sameer ke saath rahogi jab tak woh theek nahi ho jaata...aur jab tak saari formalities hoti hai...tab tak humein yeh sab kaam complete karna hai...act fast!"

Aayesha, Liza and Shree went to Sameer's place to arrange the place.
She took the key from Sameer's neighbour and opened the door. It was the very first time that the team had visited his place. The trio went inside. Everything was perfect, just at its place.
The place looked more like a army officer's place, because every thing was just so perfect. Liza started helping Specky, while Aayesha walked a lil away from them, noticing the photo frames on the wall.
He looked utterly cute...
There were random pictures of him, 'smiling'. Few with Arjun and Roshni, few of his family maybe.
He used to smile...? What happened to his smile now?
She called out for Liza, and the ladies started arranging and cleaning the place, while Shree was busy with the cctv fixings.
***
The next day, with all the arrangements fully done, Sameer was shifted to his place.
Vikas ordered everyone to leave except Aayesha.
"Aayesha, mujhe urgently nikalna hoga...haan agar kisi cheez ki zarurat pade toh let the team know...theek hai?"
Aayesha nodded in +ve, and bid him good bye as he left.
She checked on Sameer and sat down on the sofa. She was tired. She felt sleepy and drifted to sleep.
She was still sleeping when Sameer woke up. At first, he was confused seeing his surroundings, but then he realized that he was shifted to his place.
He was thirsty and a lil hungry too. His gaze fell on Aayesha, who was sleeping. He wondered whether he should call out for her or not. But there was no one else, except her maybe.
"Aa...Aa...Aayesha..." he spoke up in a low tone.
Aayesha was alerted. She woke up and got up.
"Kya huya Sir...aapko kuch chahiye..." she spoke up.
He tried to get up but then she walked upto him,
"Sir aap rest kijiye...doctor ne strict bed rest advice ki hai..."
"Doctor ki maa ka..." an irritated him spoke up.
Aayesha supressed her smile, as Sameer spoke up,
"Woh mujhe...mujhe pyaas lagi hai...(after a pause) Aur bhook bhi..."
"Theek hai...mein paani toh la sakti hunn lekin khichdi bann ne mein time lagega..." she replied.
"Yuck!" Sameer exclaimed and made faces.
Aayesha looked away and tried to supress his smile.
Sam : "Oh hello, ismein hasne ki kya baat hai?"
Aa : (with a serious look) "Mein kab hassi?
Sam : "Toh abhi khadi khadi kya kar rahi thi...?"
Aa : "Bas bas...mein khichdi banane jaa rahi hunn..."
And before he could speak anything else, she left.
She went inside the kitchen and started prepairing khichdi. Half-an-hour later, she was done. The khichdi was perfect.
She came back to the room with a bowl and a glass of water. She helped him in getting up and arranged the tray on the folding table.
"Thank you...ab mein khud kha lunga..." he spoke up.
"Par..." she interrupted.
"Bola na mein khud kha lunga?" he spoke up again.
She nodded in +ve and stood there with arms acrossed her chest. Sameer raised his hands, only to realize that his hands weren't in a state to help him with anything.
"Ab mein khila dunn?" Aayesha spoke up.
An embarrassed Sameer looked here n there, as Aayesha came and sat next to him. She took lil khichdi in spoon, blew air to cool it down. She leaned the spoon closer to his lips, only to realize that they were way too close. She adjusted herself and started feeding him.
A few minutes later, they were done. Aayesha picked up the tray and got up to leave, when Sameer spoke up,
"Tumhari banayi huyi khichdi is still better then woh hospital ki bekar si khichdi...it was just so horrible...eww..."
Aayesha smiled at that, and thanked him. She asked him to take rest and went out.
She herself had some khichdi and later washed the dishes. When she came, she realized that Sameer wasn't sleeping.
Aa : "Aap soye nahi?"
Sam : "Woh...woh mujhe..."
Aa : "Kya huya? Kuch chahiye?"
Sam : "Nahi woh...actually mujhe washroom jaana hai...and my leg is paining a lot..."
She felt really bad for him at that moment. He was badly injured. Bruises, cuts, weakness...Even though he went through numerous surgeries, he was still not in a good state.
"Tum mujhe darwaaze tak pahuncha sakti ho...please..." a helpless him, spoke up shyly.
She smiled a bit and nodded in +ve. She walked upto him, and leaned a bit closer to help him out. But for few seconds, they were lost in each other.
Tum ho...paas mere
Saath mere ho tum yun...
Jitna mehsoos karun tumko
Utna hi paa bhi loon...
They came out of the trance, and she helped him to get up. She slowly lifted his left arm, and put it around her shoulder, and placed her arm around his waist for support. She walked slowly, and dropped him at the door.
Aa : "Mein andar tak drop kardun?"
Sam : "No, I'll manage...thanks..."
She opened the door for him, as he went inside to freshen up. It took him a lil longer than usual to freshen up, but she kept on waiting for him outside. When he came out, she noticed the bandage on his hands which was wet.
Aa : "Yeh kya kiya?"
Sam : "H for Hand wash..."
Aa : "Lekin D for doctor ne H for hand wash ya B for body wash se mana kiya hai..."
He lowered his face, as she dropped him back at his place. She adjusted the blanket and than took out an injection from the drawer.
Sam : "Aayesha, injection mat lagana please..."
Aa : "Lagana padega...nahi toh aapko neend nahi aayegi..."
"Aayesha nahi please..." he pleaded like a 5 year old.
She motioned him to keep mum, and within seconds she was done with the injection.
Sam : "Aayesha paap chadega tumhein...dekhna...you will have to pay for this..."
Aa : "Koi baat nahi...chalega...ab aap chup chap so jayie..."
Sameer made faces, but later drifted to sleep. She sat next to him on the bed, and carressed his hair for a while, before she herself took a nap.
Tum ho mere liye
Mere liye ho tum yunn...
Khud ko mein haar gaya tum ko
Tum ko mein jeeta hunn...
***
And the next 4-5 days went exactly like that...
She was there for him, every single moment. And him, was slowly slowly feeling guilty for behaving rudely with her at moments.
One fine day,
Aayesha adjusted his blanket, when Sameer rested his hand on hers. She looked at him confused.
"I'm sorry for behaving so rudely with you Aayesha..." he spoke up.
She smiled at him, pecked his forehead and walked out of the room, as he cherished the moist imprint on his forehead.
Tum ho...paas mere
Saath mere ho tum yun...
Jitna mehsoos karun tumko
Utna hi paa bhi loon...
The same day visited, the doctor paid him a visit. He checked on Sameer, and than gave Aayesha a list of medicines Sameer was supposed to take.
He got up to leave, when Sameer spoke up,
"Doctor, what about my bill?"
Doctor turned and replied,
"(looks at Aayesha) Inhone kaha tha ki aapka pura treatment ho jaane ke baad aap bill clear kar denge...aap theek ho jayie Mr.Rathore, uske baad aaram se bill pay kar dijiye..."
Saying this, the doctor left, as Sameer kept on looking at Aayesha.
Kyun kar rahi hai woh yeh sab...kahin woh bhi mujhse...
***
A week passed by,
There was improvement in Sameer's state, not much, but still. He had started coming out of the room, and she was happy with the improvement.
"Chaliye bahaar chalte hain..." Aayesha spoke up.
"Kahaan? Bahaar ghumne?" an excited him asked.
"Nahi...khaana khane dining area mein..." she replied.
With his smile disappeared, he with the help of crutches, came out of the room, and settled on the sofa.
Sam : (in a sad tone) "Aisa thodi hota hai...na hum ghar ke bahaar jaate hain...na kuch...mein bore ho gaya hunn..."
A sad smile crept up on her lips. She knew that he was bored, but she couldn't afford to take him out, considering that he was not in a good state, plus the security concerns.
She came and sat next to him.
Aa : "Jab aap theek ho jayenge...toh mein pakka aapko bahaar leke jaungi...pakka waala promise..." she spoke with a huge grin.
Sam : "Jhooth..." (turns his face away)
She tried to make him look at her, but he didn't.
Aa : "Arey baba, bola na pakka..."
He didn't reply. She went inside the kitchen and brought a bowl of khichdi for him to eat.
"Agar aap yeh finish karoge toh mein...mein aapko ik Dairy Milk dungi..." she spoke up.
He looked at her, wondering if she was out of her senses.
Sam : "Aayesha, mein tumhein chota bacha lagta hunn ki tum mujhe Dairy Milk ka lalach dogi aur mein khichdi kha jaunga? Pichle na jaane kitne dino se khichdi khila khila ke pagal kar diya hai tumne mujhe...ab mein apni zindagi mein kabhi khichdi nahi khaunga..."
This trick won't work...silly me...she thought.
Aa : (Leans closer to his face) "Agar aap abhi do bowl khichdi ke khayenge...toh raat ko aap jo kehnege woh banake dungi..."
Sam : "Maggi?"
Aa : (grins) "Haan, kyun nahi...par pehle yeh finish kar dijiye..."
She shifted the bowl in front of him, and started feeding him. He made faces while eating, but soon emptied the two bowls. She grinned.
Sam : "Dekha, meine 2 bowls finish kar diye...Aayesha, ab apna waada mat bhulna..."
Aayesha picked up the tray, and walked into the kitchen.
"Sochungi..." she replied.
"Pata tha mujhe...Sab jhooth bolte hain..." a sad him replied, as a tear rolled down his cheek.
She noticed him,
Kya mein bhi ainvayi tang karne lagi huyi hunn...
She ran back to him and sat next to him,
"Mazak kar rahi thi...pakka banaungi maggi mein...vaise bhi khichdi kha kha ke bore ho gaye honge aap..."
He didn't reply and left for his room. She sat there and smiled,
Inke iss cute waale gusse ka kya karun mein?
