ASHLOK FF - AT FIRST SIGHT Last Chapter

Few hours into her maiden shift as a surgeon in the emergency room a man was rushed in by another man in his mid thirties. He was hysterical. The other doctors first try to pacify him and find out what happened to the man in the gurney. He had been a victim of a drive by shooting. It was through and through. The bullet has entered from the back of his torso and exited just below the collar bone. He was bleeding heavily and was minutes away from going into cardiac arrest. He was in shock. He was rushed to the operating theatre, further information was given by the other man who claimed to be his brother. Police took a statement and due protocol was followed. Victim was extreme lucky, extremely rare to not to have any of his vital organs damaged in a life threatening manner. He was in serious situation but it was not life threatening. He would make a full recovery in few weeks time. Surgery was routine and he responded to the medications well. After the surgery she got busy with other patients, but something was nagging her. May be it was the fact that he looked Indian or maybe it was the fact that when she was trying to wake him up bring him back from the effects of the anaesthetics. Suddenly he held her hand that was placed just next to his. He squeezed her hand and she had a strange feeling. Something she's never felt...she's touched many a patient before, but never anything like this. It was not a bad feeling. He looked into her eyes a slight smile appeared in his pale face and said " I'm in heaven" and closed his eyes again. She tried to wake him up again and he opened his eyes and she said," your in the ICU what's your name? He said still looking at his angel, he managed to say "SHLOK" "are you my angel"

A smile appeared on her face in an instant... She said no I'm your doctor. He closed his eyes again. She gave the necessary instructions for the nurses and the interns and left.

When she came back after few hours he has been shifted to a private room and she wanted to see him before finishing off her 18 hour shift. When she came up to his room she saw the name of the patient Mr. Shlok Agnihotri. She went inside, his brother introduced himself as Varad Agnihotri the elder brother. He thanked her for saving his brothers life and she just said it's my job. They were here on business. They were walking back to their hotel after doing some gift shopping at the nearby Mall when Shlok was shot. It was the last day of their two week trip. They were to fly back the next day. Based in Mumbai.

He was still heavily sedated, and sleeping. She checked his file and she noticed he was 30 years. Varad was still anxious, she assured him that he would make a full recovery but he should take things slowly. She took her leave with a promise to come and check on him when she's returns.

Astha opened her eyes when she felt a soft kiss on her cheek. She has failed to keep them from waking up. But she was glad to see their sleepy yet giggly faces. She was bombarded with accusations along with hugs and kisses in equal measure.
