Thank you so much for all your lovely support… It means a lot…
Hope you like this part…

Let’s get into today’s part… Happy reading…

Scene – 38:
Next day morning,
04:00 AM
All our couples were asleep in all possible positions, in the waiting room. None left the hospital last night. Arjun along with Neil and Om, handled the office works, including the media house and other personal business and art gallery work too.
First one to wake up is Arjun.
Arjun: (Looking around.) Good all are sleeping… I should have a word with her, before her getting ended up with any conclusion.
Arjun: (Slowly walked to his lady love, who was sleeping curled on a single sofa. He very delicately took her in his arms without disturbing her sleep.)
He walked towards the garden with her in his arms.
Arjun: (Was continuously checking if anyone was around. Was startled by a voice.)
Voice: If you’re done with checking around, would you like to let me down…?
Arjun: (Looked straight into the eyes that were staring him with a thin layer a water. Instead of letting her down, he tightened his grip on her, still eyes locked with her.)
The voice was of none other than his lady love who was asleep few seconds ago in his arms.
Radhika: (Without uttering a word more, she held on him tight with her head buried in the crook of his neck.)
How badly she had been missing his warmth since yesterday. She wanted the time to stop and be in his arms forever.
Arjun: (Cuddled her more and settled on the grass leaning on a tree. He made her comfortable on his lap and caressed her hair with one hand. And the other hand was pulling her close into him with every passing second.)
They fell asleep.

After around an hour, she woke up.
Radzie: (Without breaking the hug, lifted her head and was looking or simply staring at his face.) (It was as though like she was memorizing his every single feature.)
Arjun: (Slowly and lazily opened his eyes. His eyes first caught with the pair of eyes looking at him blankly.)
None spoke anything. But their eyes were throughout locked. Their trance was broken by the ringtone of Arjun’s mobile.
Arjun: (Broke the eye-lock and attended the call.) Yes Nikki…
Neil: (Was a bit emotional to hear Nikki from his buddy. As he calls him Nikki only when he is stress free.) Ajju… Wherever you’re, come soon… Dr. Scindhiya would be here anytime…
Arjun: Yup…
Neil: Is she fine…?
Arjun: (Smiled.) Will talk later Nikki…
Neil: (Hummed understanding and disconnected the call.)
Arjun: Let’s go in… (And moved a step forward.)
Radzie: Don’t you want to ask me anything…?
Arjun: (Stopped, half-turned.) If I ask the same to you…?
Radzie: (Kept mum.)
Arjun: (After a good pause.) Dr. Scindhiya would be coming anytime… We should go in… (And walked off.)
Radzie: (Followed him silently.)
Scene – 39:
When they reached the rest, all were wide awake.
Shivaay: (Seeing their dull faces, gestured Arjun what.)
Arjun: (Gave him a weak smile. And gestured nothing.)
Shivaay: (In spite of knowing that he was hiding something, he decided to ignore as of now.)
Arjun: What about Dr. Scindhiya…?
Neil: He would be here any moment… Dr. Roy (the doctor treating Anya) said he had almost reached…
Arjun: (Nodded affirmative.)
Without further delay, a handsome and well-dressed man walked in to the hospital and reached them. All the heads turned towards him. Before anyone could speak.
Dr. Roy: Welcome Dr. Scindhiya…
Dr. Scindhiya: Thank you Dr. Roy… And before anything, I’m extremely sorry that I couldn’t speak to you yesterday…
Dr. Roy: That’s absolutely fine Doctor… I hope you had a comfortable journey…?
Dr. Scindhiya: (Nodded his head yes.) Ji… Can I know about the patient doctor…?
Dr. Roy: Sure… (And passed a file.)
Dr. Scindhiya: (He went through every single observations in the file.) Will have to check the baby…
Dr. Roy: Sure doctor… This way… (And guided him to the ICU.)
Dr. Scindhiya: (Before stepping in, turned towards Dr. Roy and rest.) When I get back after checking the baby, I want her in front of me… At any cost… (He said every single word sternly.)
Dr. Roy: (Was shaken by his voice and nodded his head affirmative.)
After around half-an-hour, both the doctors walked out discussing something.
Dr. Scindhiya: (He scanned the whole area and failed to locate her. Turning towards Dr. Roy.) I think I stated something very clearly to you…
Dr. Roy: I’ll check on her…
Dr. Scindhiya: Now… (Sternly and coldly.)
Dr. Roy: (Nodded affirmative and walked aside to make a call.)
Dr. Scindhiya: Baby Anya’s mother…?

Anika: (Stepped forward.) Ji… How is my daughter…? (With fresh tears brimming her eyes.)
Dr. Scindhiya: (His features softened.) Mam relax… Your daughter will be absolutely fine and very soon… Please trust me… (Ever so gently he said all the words.)
All were confused seeing the man in front of them. He was devilishly stylish when he stepped in, then a fire spitting young man and now ever so innocent and soft young man mode. “Who is he…?” was the only question running in every heads.
Dr. Roy walked to Dr. Scindhiya and stood with his head low (as the person didn’t attend the call).
Dr. Scindhiya: (Understanding the situation, his face turned into a volcano again. He took his phone and dialled someone.) Hello ma… Let your daughter know I’ll pull her out of her hideout soon… It’s a promise of Yash Scindhiya… (And disconnected the call.) (Turning to Anika.) Mam your daughter is my responsibility… I’ll not let anything happen to her… Now please excuse me… (He was about to step away.)
As he was about to step away from the spot, a lady came running and stood in front of him panting. He gave a stern look to her and walked out without a word.
Lady: Yu… Yu stop… (But he was long gone.)
She hit her hand on her head. Someone came and gave her an arm hug.
Voice: Who is he to you Beautiful…?
(Yes, it was Meera who came running to Dr. Scindhiya. And Krishna beside her.)
Meera: (Without a word she hugged him burying her head in his chest.) Little one please help me out dear… I’m going to go crazy without any delay… For sure…
Krishna: Don’t worry Beautiful… You’ll have a company…
Meera: (She lifted her head confusion written on her face and looked at his face.)
Krishna: (He answered he unsaid question.) Because, before you I’ll be crazy… Let’s get settled in the same mental asylum…
Meera: (Rolled her eyes.)
Gauri: (Standing beside Meera.) But Beautiful… How do you know him and who is he…? Even he was saying someone that he’ll get her daughter out of her hideout… And you came panting to him… And janab ne tho walked out like a king…
Meera: (Was silent.)
Krishna: Is it that you didn’t hear her question or you want to act as if you didn’t hear…?
Meera: I have some work… Will see you guys soon… (Moved a step forward.)
Krishna: Stop running Beautiful… And you aren’t as strong as you show yourself… You’ll be broken bad one day and maybe there will be none to support you… Maybe not even me…
Gauri: (Tried to interrupt.) KB…
Krishna: (Cutting her words.) No Gauri… She should understand and accept… It is high time she understands that and move on…
Meera: (Without a word, walked out.)
Gauri: (Was struck between her crack-pot friend and her Beautiful.) KB… You had lost it… Itana bol ne kee zaroorat kya thee…?
Krishna: Zaroorat…? Are you kidding me…? You better know what is been happening all these years… She is running and hiding from someone… But God knows from whom… And now… This Dr. Yash Scindhiya… Urgh…
Gauri: (Walked to the nearby chair and got seated.) Is he the same person…?
Krishna: Matlab…?
Gauri: She is hiding from someone and this is a sure fact as once she admitted it… But we don’t know who she is hiding from… And today’s incidents clearly says she was hiding from him too and came running as she understood something… There are so many puzzles to be solved…

Krishna: (Occupying the chair beside her.) Hmmm… You have a point… She asked us not to ask about her past or family and we accepted… But it is high time we dig into her past for her own betterment…
Gauri: (Placing her hand on his hand and pressing it a little.) We will… (And smiled.)
Krishna: (He dragged her into his embrace.)
Gauri: Ek aur bath…
Krishna: (Tilted his neck to look at her.)
Gauri: That idiot is irritating me… Help me na… Please…
Krishna: Hmmm… Don’t worry… We’ll chase the ghost away…
Gauri: (Gave him a bright smile.) You’re the best… Love you…
Krishna: (Kissing on top of her head.) Love you too…
There was a pair of eyes glaring him and the soul was cursing him. And it is none other than our Anjali…
Anjali: (Thinking.) Idiot… Telling “I Love You” to others is not at all difficult for him… But telling the same to me is… Urgh… I don’t know what his problem…is Duffer…
Sammy: Guys… We all here since yesterday… And I think we should go freshen up and take our turns and come here… I mean…
Radzie: We understand Sammy… Even work is to be taken care at least for the sake of all our staffs… We will take our turns and take care of Anya…
Anika: Along with work and caring Anoo, rest is also important… Please do take rest… You all are too exhausted…
Haider: (Kneeling in front of Anika.) What so ever happens we’ll support each other in spite of our tiredness, hmmm…? Remember you promised… (Made her remember her own words.)
Anika: (Smiled and nodded her head affirmative.)
Haider: (Cupped her face and kissed her forehead.) Take care… I’ll go get freshen up and will be back with food… Okay…?
Anika: Okay… But you’ll take some rest and then come back… Is that fine…?
Haider: Okay… I’ll be back soon… (And walked out.)
Everyone except Shivaay, Anika and Ansh left. She tried to send Shivaay too with others, but failed miserably in front of his tadibaaz… Now who will make this tadibaazi lady understand that it wasn’t his tadibaaz but his love, in front of which she failed…?
Scene – 40:
In My Word… My Bond… (The Media House),
10:00 AM:
All were working hard to balance all the missed out work and the upcoming work so that they can go back to hospital and check on Anya.
Arjun, Neil and Om were working in their cabin. Om received a call.
Om: Hello… Yes Akash…
Other side: …
Om: Ok… Fine… I’ll be reach soon… Bye…

Om: (Turning to Arjun and Neil.) Guys, I have to rush to the gallery… There is some…
Neil: (Cutting him off.) Oh come on… Stop giving explanations Om, it really sucks…
Arjun: (Patting Neil’s shoulders.) (To Neil.) Language… (To Om.) He is absolutely right, stop giving explanations Om and carry on… We’ll manage here…
Om: Ok… But it is high time, I have to get my assistant soon, who is capable to handle gallery in my absence… Or else the gallery is going to sink one day very soon…
Arjun: We won’t let that happen… Don’t worry… And about assistant… You’re right, you need one very soon… And…
Neil: (Cutting him off.) And we have the person handy…
Om: (Gave a confused look.)
Neil: Oh come on bro… You can’t forget the art that you admired the most, few days back…
Om: (Finally understanding.) Gauri…?
Neil: Yup…
Om: I didn’t forget her… It is just that she is much more deserving than to be my assistant… I’m planning to get her own gallery raised…
Neil: OH… That’s good…
Voice: But what if I say she’ll be much more interested in assisting you…

Lots of Love,
Anci
