Hello! Here's me writing something i thought of after seeing the promo :)
Hope you all like it!
Sona was shifted to a proper room. Dev still hung out in the corridor, pacing and trying to calm down. She was out of danger. That gave him relief but he was still worried for some reason. He opened the door to her room and checked upon her. She lay on the bed, still and pale. He closed the door and took a seat by it. His mind wandered through the conversation they were having before the wretched car hit her. She had looked so happy. Correction- She was happy. The usual Sona that he stole glances at was chirpy but today, she had seemed chirpier and he had no idea why. He had danced on the road with some children today. It was liberating and somehow he felt comfortable doing that in front of her like he had laughed in front her. She was something else. Today, for the first time,Dev told someone about his childhood. Not just the struggles but also the kid that lived inside him still. Admitted, he had done that to keep her awake but he did manage to bring a fainting smile on her face.
He could hear some noise from the room so he got up and opened the door. She was up and panicking, trying to get on her feet. He immediately rushed to her. "Sona!" he said holding her. She was crying and shivering. The moment he got close, she hugged his torso tightly. Dev didn't know how to react. This was new for him. But he couldn't leave her crying. He embraces her back and sits on the bed facing her as she clutches at him and sobs. "tum theek ho. Tum theke ho Sona! Calm down!" he tried to console her but she was in hysterics. He held her face and looked into her eyes.
"Sona look at me...kuch nahi hua...mai.yahin hoon...tum theek ho..." she was still hyperventilating as she looked into his eyes and was starting to calm down. An idea struck Dev, he apprehensively pulled her towards him and placed her head where his heart beat in his chest. He hugged her frail form against his tightly. She closed her eyes and clung to him.
"meri heart beat sunayi de rahi hai na tumhe?" he asked softly. "calm, deep breaths lo. Feel karsakti ho meri heart beat?" he added, pulling one of her palms and placing ut on his chest.
He took deep breaths as his chest rose and fell with her. She calmed down. Her breathing slowed and matched his. Dev sighed in relief and pulled away to look at her. She had fallen asleep on him. He held her with his one arm as he wiped away her tears with another hand. He also cleared her face of all the wavy strands of her beautiful curly hair and tucked them behind her ear.
Her face looked beaten. Pale and dull without her glorious smile that he had grown to adore. There was a wide bandage around her forehead and her right arm was in a cast. It pained him to see her like that. The usually smiling, gorgeous, Dr. Sonakshi Bose lay in his arms hurt and marred. His tears welled up in emotion. He was shocked. Why was he getting so emotional? He set her down on the bed and put the blanket around her. He stood by her bedside, still unconciously holding her hand. What is wrong with him? Why was she affecting him so much? He stared at her wide eyed as if he was seeing her for the first time. He didn't understand what he was feeling. Somewhere deep inside the walls of his heart, something stirred. He realized that ge was still holding her hand and looked at their entwined fingers. It felt comforting. He slowly let go. He back tracked his steps and walked out of the room. She wasn't just his mother's nutritionist anymore.
