(Improvements)
******
Dr. Noor came into Geet's room, " Hi Geet! Kaisi ho?"
"Im all right Noor… tum kaisi ho?" asked Geet. " Hum theek hain par tumari tabiyat mujhe lagta hain kay improve ho rahi hain" replied Noor.
"Haan aisi baat hain Noor begun…aayiye, aap to tashreef laayein" said Geet.
"Haan, aagaye hum…kya hua?" asked Noor with a chuckle.
"Humaray bhai kaisay hain?"Asked Geet.
"Saif bilkul theek hain aur tumhara bhi pooch rahe thay" replied Noor. " Aapke liye time nikal liya unho ne?" asked Geet.
"Haan… kyun nahin? I admit hes busy with business trips… but he manages to make time" replied Noor.
" Haan ji… to humari Lucknowi Princess…what brings you to Amritsar?"asked Geet.
"Tum Geet… Meera called me…why wouldn't I have come?"Asked Noor.
Geet sighed and Noor looked down sadly, " I'm sorry that this happened to you"
"Tum sorry kyun bol rahi ho? Main mast hoon" said Geet.
"Allah tumhe khushiyan dein Geet… meri yehi dua hain tumhare liye" said Noor. " Oh ho Noor begum, main theek hoon"
"Acha to phir so jao, warna tumhara Maan humay kahenge kay humne aapko jagaya…" said Noor.
"Oh leave him…he won't… baat karna mere saath!" said Geet. " No you should sleep Geet…hum kal tumhare paas aayenge" replied Noor as she got up.
"Bye Noor begum…aur haan humaray bhai se kehna kay unki behn hospital main hain aur pooch tak nahin?" called Geet.
"Of course hum bolengi…afterall, you are my friend too" chuckled Noor. She left without another word and Geet laid back and rested.
**************
A few weeks went by and Geet was able to guide herself around in a wheelchair until her ankles healed.
Maan had gotten back from his "business" trip to find Dadajii up and around the mansion again.
Nitya bua of course had been in the house and Maan barely noticed her presence.
Tej had also gone to the hospital after major headaches and Noor had taken his scans and tests.
She collected his blood reports, scans and tests… Noor bit her lip and she made several photocopies.
"Meera le lo" said Noor. Meera nodded and smiled, " Thankyou Noor…you have no idea how much you've helped us"
Noor put her hand on Meera's arm, " Meera, humay sharminda mat karo…"
"Acha, when will Geet be able to walk?"asked Meera.
"When she has the willpower to get better" replied Noor. Meera sighed, " Daarji se jhoot bolna mujhe bilkul bhi sahi nahin lag raha"
"Dooriyan mitanay kay liye kabhi jhoot bhi bolna parta hain Meera" replied Noor.
Meera looked away frustratingly, " I'm so tired of this…"
"Allah aap sab ki parshaaniyan door karenge…humara yakeen kijiye Meera…" added Noor.
"Aisa hi hoga…par Geet ko bhi aisa nahin dekh sakti" added Meera.
"Aur haan Meera, agar humari zaroorat kabhi bhi ho...bol dijiyega!" replied Noor.
Meera smiled, " Thankyou Noor…"
"Hum chalte hain…Saif humara ghar pe intezaar kar rahe hain!" said Noor. Meera nodded and Noor said her goodbyes.

After another month, Geet's wrists were getting better and she managed to eat herself and wheel herself in and out of the room.
She called Daarji almost everyday with the payphone and he seemed to be at rest…
Although, the entire situation made her nervous. What would happen to them all if something bad were to happen?
