It will be Continued on demand only otherwise it can stand out as a one shot also. Also forgive spelling and grammatical errors. Couldn't proofread. Enjoy reading.
AB PYAAR NAHI (SHOT 1)
She was walking on the road aimlessly thinking of what Kartik said to his Mom, "Okay Maa I'll marry Aashi for your sake." It echoed in her ears. Few drops of tears escaped from her eyes. The glassy eyes couldn't make out when a lorry came and hit her and she was in the pool of blood in no time. Kehte hain marte waqt insaan ko apni puri zindagi movie ki tarah chalti dikhai deti hai. She was receiving the flashes of her life, all good and bad and she hated the fact that most of them consisted HIM. Someone from the crowd somehow took her to the hospital and gave a call on her Dad's number. Naitik almost fell on the ground. He had already lost Akshara and had no courage to lose his Princess. Naksh rushed to him to know what had happened. Naitik managed to tell him and all of the Singhanias rushed to the hospital not before Keerti sneaking in to message about the same to Kartik.
Naira was in between the wires. She looked pale due to loss of blood. Naitik was pacing up and down looking anxiously at the red bulb that was glowing on the door that read, 'Operation Theatre'. Doctors were trying their best to save her but she was adamant on punishing everyone who had hurt her. She wanted to walk, fly and dance in the other world. This world had a lot of problems. Badi Dadi and Dadi were continuously praying while Keerti was consoling Naksh who was feeling guilty of being jealous of his younger sister and Naitik was just numb, still.
Kartik was in a meeting when he heard the ping of the message received. He didn't check it immediately but after the wrap up of the meeting. 'Naira met with an accidents. In XYZ Hospital.' That's all the message read. Cold. Ice cold. He didn't know a message had the power to snatch all that he had, or perhaps he didn't. He sat on a chair and took a complete two minutes to know what had happened. In those two minutes he had also shed few tears unknowingly. Things were blur before his eyes. Just then Aashi came who was as chirpy as ever. "Oye. Aunty ne bola hai to drag you for the lunch if you don't come." She said sitting on the table in front of him. "Naira. Naira ka accident. She...she needs me." Kartik kept on blabbering while grabbing the car keys and rushing out of his cabin. Aashi just didn't understand anything.
Doctor came out to tell that patient is really critical and not responding to the medications and in this condition it will be very difficult to help her out. Naitik and Naksh pleaded him to just save her no matter what. "Doctor can I just meet her once. I'll tell her na to fight for us. She always listen to me." Naitik asked. Doctor gave him the permission. After a while when Naira was shifted to the ICU post her surgery Naitik sat beside her holding her fragile and pale hands delicately that had the needles for the IV drop. "Princess. Please mere liye don't give up. You know there's a huge family who loves you immensely. Please unke liye aisa mat karo. Aa jao wapas please." Naitik was almost in tears seeing Naira between wires and the dull hospital dress. He always liked her in colorful dresses.
Kartik stopped the car in front of the hospital and ran as fast as he could. He asked for her on the reception desk where receptionist told him that she's on third floor. He ran towards the lift but it was taking time. He chose the stairs and ran as fast as he could. Chanting Naira's name and wiping his tears he climbed the last stair. He saw both the Dadis praying and Naksh crying silently on Keerti's shoulder. He ran towards Keerti. "Keerti Naira kahan hai?" He asked with tears still coming out of his eyes. Everyone looked at him. Naksh on seeing him grew angry. "Aapko kya hai Mr. Goenka. Aap please jaiye yahan se. Meri behen ki family hai yahan. Strangers ki zaroorat nahi hai use." Naksh said taking a deep breath. "Naksh, mere bhai please bata de kahan hai Naira?" Kartik said sadly smiling with tears still there in his big eyes. "Kaha na meri behen ko aapki ya aapke parivaar ke kisi bhi member ki koi zaroorat nahi hai. Hum sab uske apne hain yahan. Aap meherbaani karke jaayein yahan se Mr. Goenka." Naksh was almost shouting but Keerti held his hand and he lowered his voice because it was hospital. "Naksh aisa mat kar please bata de." Kartik pleaded.
The machines attached to Naira started beeping louder. Doctors told Naitik to wait outside. "Princess please don't give up." Naitik told before leaving. Doctors gave her some injections to stabilise her pulse. All the happy moments of her childhood flashed. She knew she can't give up. It's true there are few people who have hurt her but there are more people who have loved her no matter what. She can't punish them like this. She knew she can't leave that last thread that still held her in this world. She just can't give up. She never learned to give up.
Kartik saw Naitik coming out of ICU. He rushed to him. "Papa I just want to see Naira please." Kartik pleaded to him. "Humari bacchi already bahut takleef seh chuki hai Mr. Goenka ab use main aur pareshaan nahi hone dunga. Hum abhi bahut tension mein hain aap jaiye yahan se please." Naitik folded his hand. "Please Papa bas ek baar. I promise main use disturb nahi karunga." Kartik cried in front of Naitik. "Aapko samjh nahi aata kya Mr. Goenka. Aap jaiye na. Kahin aapki Maa ko pata chal gaya ki aap yahan hain toh woh phir meri hi behen ko blame karengi. Jayein aap please." Naksh tried to push him back a little. "Please Naksh." Kartik was on his knees in front of Naksh. Naksh just turned away his face. "Keerti isse please jaane ko kaho. Naira ko inki koi zaroorat nahi hai." Naksh told Keerti.
Doctor came out of the ICU and told Naitik that she's stable but still in danger. But the good thing is she's responding to medicines. Naitik thanked the doctor who took a leave to check on the other patients. "Papa please bas ek baar Naira se milne dijiye. I promise mai kuch nhi kahunga usse. Bas door se dekhunga. Please Papa." Kartik said while he was still on his knees. It was the limit for Naksh. He grabbed him by his arms and made him stand then he dragged him out of the corridor in front of a lift. "Aap please jaake apni Maa ko sambhaliye." Naksh was about to go but turned around to say one last thing, "Maana ki kabhi meri behen ne aapse pyaar kiya tha par ab pyaar nahi hai." Kartik just looked at him. His vision blurred due to tears. He didn't go. He stood there.
That night doctors told the family that Naira was out of danger and that she all needs love and care to recover soon. It was already really late. Naksh and Keerti told everyone to go home and that they'll take care of everything there. Naitik resisted but ultimately gave into the pleas of his kids. They saw Kartik still standing near the corridor while they were leaving but they ignored him. Kartik was just numb, out of his senses.
The new morning brought in lots of hope, hope for better life and opportunities. Naitik was in hospital already with food for Naksh and Keerti. He wanted them to go home and freshen up but Naksh wanted to leave only with Naira. Doctor went in the ICU and checked her. He told Naitik that she was recovering in leaps and bounds. He also told that he'll probably discharge her in evening if they assure to take proper care of her to which Naitik and Naksh happily agreed. They hugged each other and thanked the Almighty. There was one more person who thanked the almighty. He smiled like a fool.
Naira was dressed in royal blue long skirt with deep red crop top with the help of Keerti. Naitik wanted her to be out of that dull dress as soon as possible. Naksh helped her sit on the wheelchair and she was ready to go. Doctors told Naitik about her medicines and all the future check up schedule. Kartik was sitting on the chair at the end of the corridor. Naira was all smiles. Naksh was cracking stupid jokes to which she was laughing. Naitik also smiled seeing his children all happy again. He pushed Naira's wheelchair who was too weak to walk on her own. Kartik for the first time in two days' time saw her. Those were the longest two days of his life to be honest. He got up from the chair and looked at her. She was pale. Really pale. He wanted to rush to her and hug her. He saw her laughing. She didn't for once looked at him. They passed by him and no one was affected by his presence. All were happy and laughing. They entered the lift. For one his eyes met hers but he couldn't find that Naira who loved him, whom he loved. "Maana ki kabhi meri behen ne aapse pyaar kiya tha par ab pyaar nahi." Those words of Naksh echoed in his ears. The lift door closed. Sab khatam ho gya. Sab kuch.
