Aryan had been moved to a special ward...
Boxer,Ajay,Neha and Shotgun were waiting for Deepika outside Aryan's ward...Doctor Sinha had literally forced them to go home in the night saying that all of them were on the verge of becoming patients themselves,he already had his hands full of old patients and could not afford to have new ones.
All of them were reluctant to leave...so finally they decided on going home in
turns...Deepika was the last one to leave...
They were all very excited at the thought of meeting Aryan...But they all wanted to meet him together...
They saw Deepika coming out of the elevator with a fresh boquet of flowers in her hands...
Neha: (smacking herself on the forehead ) hum log bhi naa...ekdam buddhu hain...itna bhi dimaag mein nahi aaya ki Aryan ke liye kuch phool laane chahiye...
Ajay: (pulling the boquet from his backpack) apni baat karo...bhai hum to apna bandobast karke aaye hain...kyun boxer?😉
Grinning Boxer patted Ajay on the back...Neha skowled at Ajay 😡...totally angry...
Ajay winced😕 ...Shotgun gave Ajay a "tu to gaya kaam se" kind of look 🤢...
Deepika hurried towards them....
Deepika: Din bhar yaheen khade rehne kaa iraada hai kya tum logon kaa? Aryan se nahi milna kya?
Everyone forgot about their little fights and went into the ward...
Aryan was lying on the bed...He was looking a little pale....He was asleep...A nurse was was tapping the syringe with her fingers to let out the airbubbles....
Aryan flinched a little when the nurse gave him the injection...but didn't open his eyes...
Thinking that he was asleep they all turned back to go(a little disappointed)...Suddenly they heard a feeble voice and turned around...
Aryan: (in a very weak voice) Guys...you know how much I hate injections...phir bhi mujhe yahaan leke aagaye....Tum logon se ye umeed nahin thi...😒
All of them had a huge smile on their face and tears in their eyes...Its wierd how sometimes you can laugh and cry at the same time..
They placed the boquets on the table and went close to Aryan's bed...Aryan looked at all of them smiling 😊...He stopped at Deepika...they looked at each other for a moment...Deepika held her breath...
Aryan: (softly...) Deepika....
Deepika:(in a breathless voice)...haan...Aryan? ☺️
Aryan: sach batao...yeh injection vagerah tumhara hi kiya dhara hain naa??😈
