Ram, Siya along with Lakshman came running inside the hospital searching for the reception to enquire. They were looking tensed, scared having tears in their eyes. Three of them looks straight at a desk and runs towards it.
SIYA- dash.. da... Dashrath.. Raghuvanshi..
Since Ram and Lakshman were not in a state to say anything, Siya herself asked to the receptionist at the table with her stammered voice. The lady checks her laptop and then face Siya to answer her.
RECEPTIONIST- ward number four.. straight down here..
Said the lady showing them the direction.
SIYA- thank you..
Siya thanked the lady and three of them started running towards Dashrath's ward. They stopped in between looking at everyone present there.

Shatrughan standing opposite to her looking shock while Shruti and Urmila standing beside him having tears in their eyes too. Bharat was standing at the middle looking at the door of the ward where Dashrath was admitted while Manvi was standing near him getting restless.
RAM- papa...
Finally a whispered word came out of Ram's mouth. He gulped his emotions and started taking small steps towards everyone gaining their attention. Siya and Lakshman followed him while Kranti motioned her eyes to look at Ram. Lakshman looks at Shatrughan and he runs towards his elder brother to embrace him in a tight hug. Lakshman started caressing his back giving him some strength while Urmila and Shruti gets teary looking at them. Ram stands in front of the door and watches Dashrath from the glass panel. He was sleeping on the operating bed, breathing through oxygen mask having the wires of machines attached to him. A tear drops from Siya's eyes who was standing just an inch behind Ram, watching Dashrath. She motioned her eyes to look at Ram who was having tears too. She keeps her hand on Ram's back to gain his attention. He blinks his eyes and wipes his tears turning towards Bharat who was staring him.
BHARAT- bhaiya..
He runs towards Ram and embrace him in a hug, crying for his father. Kranti too started crying looking at them while Siya looks at her sisters. She moves towards them and they have a sisterly hug together. Lakshman and Shatrughan too moves towards Ram and hug both of their brothers while crying.

Kranti shook her head crying continuously while others too became emotional. Ram was also getting tears in his eyes. He was about to cry when his eyes falls on Siya who was looking at him already.
SIYA- no Ram.. please control yourself. Don't cry now..
Said Siya in her heart talking with Ram trying to indicate him through her eyes. Ram kept on looking at her, reading her eyes.

Ram holds the arm of the bench to balance himself and to gain support. He was in the garden of the hospital, keeping everyone inside, making everyone relaxed and now crying his heart out. He remembered the moment when Lakshman told him that Dashrath has suffered a heart attack. He was silent and numb from that time. Lakshman immediately called Siya to tell her the news and the three of them immediately leaves for Mumbai. Siya didn't talk with Ram anything as she knows he will be silent till he see Dashrath with his own eyes. The word "papa" came from his mouth when they reached the hospital, till then he was silent saying nothing. He settled down on the bench keeping his hands under his chin, busy in his thoughts. He remembers the conversation he had with Dashrath when they were in Delhi for Holi. How Dashrath was saying about his old age and departure which made Ram to worry for him since then. He sighed and closed his eyes thinking about his father's words. He hides his face in his palms while tears started forming in his eyes. Suddenly Ram felt someone's hand on his back and he knows the touch, the touch he was waiting for, the touch who has came there to pacify him, he knows only she could handle him at that time. He immediately looks at his side to find Siya sitting beside him and watching him. She could witness his red eyes, the painful eyes which wanted someone rather only her to soothe them. They both kept on looking at each other talking with each other through their eyes.
SIYA- Ram...
Siya called him in a low voice, breaking their silence.
SIYA- now.. you can cry..
Said Siya giving him permission to pour his feelings out. She has stopped him to cry in front of all so that he could handle everyone. But now she is asking him to cry in front of her.
SIYA- andar maa thi.. chote bhai the.. puri family thi.. unke samne aap rote, to unhe sambhalne wala koi nahi hota..
Said Siya having tears in her eyes too. Ram kept on watching her without blinking his eyes for once.
SIYA- but no one is here now. Bas me hu.. aur.. mere samne.. mere samne to aap.. ro hi sakte hai..
Siya nods her head in yes asking him to pour his emotions. Tears started getting down his cheek as soon as he heard Siya's words. He immediately wraps his arms around her, keeping his head near her chest having his eyes tightly closed. While Siya keeps her one hand on his head and other on his back, caressing him lightly. He was crying loudly, like a small baby while Siya kept on caressing his back allowing him to take his time.
RAM- Siya... Papa... Papa ko..
Ram stammered saying something between his cries. He was literally shivering and Siya could witness that. For the first time she has seen this side of Ram. He has always been a pillar for his family, but today he was falling weak, due to his father's health.
RAM- papa ko kuch... Hoga to nahi na...
Ram continued speaking while Siya tightens her grip on him.
SIYA- nahi Ram.. kuch nahi hoga.. he will be fine..
Said Siya between her cries while Ram closed his eyes tightly.
SIYA- wo.. wo theek hojayenge.. mujhe..pura yakeen hai..
Said Siya wiping her tears while Ram nods his head in yes. She kept on caressing his head lightly.
SIYA- aap hai na unke pas.. hum sab hai.. he will be fine.. I know..
Siya kept on giving him some positivity while Ram tried to calm himself down. After a while he leaves her hold and sit straight while she wipes his tears from his cheek.
RAM- Siss.. Siya...
He takes her hand in his and hold it tightly in his grip.
RAM- agar papa ko kuch hua.. to me khudko.. kabhi maaf nahi kar ... Paunga..
Said Ram while again fresh tears started coming down his eyes. Siya shook her head denying and wipes his tears before it hits the floor.
SIYA- don't say like this Ram.. believe in God. Wo hamare papa ko kuch nahi hone denge..
Said Siya sounding confident while Ram lightly nods his head in yes. She kissed his hands softly which was holding her hands and looks at him.
SIYA- aapko maa ko sambhalna hai Ram.. Bharat Lakshman Shatrughan ko sambhalna hai.. unhe aapki zarurat hai na..?
Ram nods his head in agreement hearing her words. He knows that it is his responsibility to handle his brothers and his mother. Suddenly he gets again emotional and looks at Siya.
RAM- me.. me kaise...??
Said Ram for which Siya interrupts him nodding her head in no.
SIYA- aap akele nahi hai na.. me hu aapke sath.. remember..?
Said Siya with a light smile. Ram controlled his tears and nods his head in agreement.
SIYA- you don't have to get weak Ram. Abhi bhi nahi aur jab papa theek hojaye tab bhi nahi...
Said Siya in an orderly tone for which Ram kept on watching her saying nothing. Siya lightly caresses his cheek.
SIYA- chaliye.. let's go in.?
Ram nods his head in agreement. Siya waited for him for a moment and gets up from her place. Ram was still holding her hand tightly. She caresses his head again gaining his attention. He looks at her and gets up from his place and both of them started moving inside...

LAKSHMAN- ye sab... Hamari wajah se.. horaha hai mila..
Said Lakshman in a low voice. Urmila looks at their around to find Kranti and Sumitra sitting in front while others standing at a distance. She sighed as no one heard his words which will make Kranti to feel more guilty.

Said Lakshman nodding his head in no. Urmila touches his cheek to gain his attention.
URMILA- aisa nahi hai laksh.. stop blaming yourself..

Said Urmila giving him some strength. Lakshman holds her hand tightly and looks frightened.
LAKSHMAN- bhaiya pata nahi.. kaise honge.. I am feeling scared for him mila..
Urmila shook her head lightly.
URMILA- don't worry.. didi hai na.. wo unhe sambhal lengi. You all just handle yourself.
Bharat Manvi and Shatrughan Shruti too moves towards them standing around them. Shruti keeps her hand on Urmila's shoulder while Manvi caresses Lakshman's head.
MANVI- Urmila is right.. aap sabko apne emotions control karne honge.. so that it will be easy for jiju..
Said Manvi looking at Bharat who nods his head in agreement.
SHRUTI- aap tino ko bhi jiju ki help karni hai.. to handle everything..
Said Shruti keeping her other hand on Shatrughan's back while he sighed controlling his tears. Their conversation gets interrupted by Ram and Siya who has came near them. Lakshman and Urmila gets up from their seat as Ram and Siya moves towards them. Ram smile at his brothers lightly and patted Shatrughan's shoulder asking them to stay strong. The brothers nods at him in agreement while Kranti watches them. She gets tears in her eyes watching her children's bond and understanding amongst each other. Sumitra turns to face her and said nothing.
DOCTOR- excuse me..
Everyone looks at the doctor who interrupts their family time. Ram moves towards him while his brothers stood behind him at a distance.
RAM- yes doctor..?
DOCTOR- Ram.. angioplasty is successfully completed. He is fine now..
Everyone sighed in relief hearing that Dashrath is out of danger and is fine. Ram closed his eyes for a moment thanking to God while Siya too smile praying for the successful completion of operation.
DOCTOR- filhal he is unconscious. But soon we will shift him to the ward so that you all can meet him.
The doctor instructed everyone but looking at Ram. He nods his head at the doctor's words.
DOCTOR- one more thing.. I will suggest that.. you all don't wait here. At visiting hours you all can come. Tab tak.. kuch log hi ruk sakte hai..
Said the doctor looking at everyone and then at Ram.
RAM- ok doctor.. thank you..
The doctor smile at him and keeps his hand on Ram's shoulder. He indicates him to not worry and leaves from there keeping their family alone. Ram turns towards his brothers.
RAM- Bharat..tum aur Shatrughan.. maa, choti maa aur ladkiyon ko lekar ghar jao.. it's late night.. kal subah visiting hours me, bring everyone..
Ram instructs Bharat for which he nods his head in agreement. Kranti looks at Ram and interrupts.
