DHAL JAUN MAIN TUJH MEIN – EPISODE 61

EPISODE 61

KALYANI SADAN,

It was no regular day today at Kalyani Sadan and why would it be…. Today was a special day…. Their family was complete in true sense and they were all happy…. Dadi was sitting at her seat and smiling seeing her entire family having breakfast…. How her children and grandchildren were teasing each other, laughing and smiling at each other’s antics…. This was the day Dadi had always wished to see…. They were not two families staying together in this mansion because of any circumstances but one big family living together in their home because they loved and cared for each other….

After their breakfast, one by one all leave for their respective works.

But who knew that this day was going to be one of the worst days of their lives…. They all were unaware of the storm that was going to hit them and leave them devastated…. That their happiness was going to turn into sadness….

FEW HOURS LATER,

ST. STEPHEN’S HOSPITAL,

Everyone was sitting dejected in the hospital corridor…. Shivaay and Arjun were doing the hospital formalities…. Anika and Ahana were sitting with Pinky, Janhvi and
Sumitra…. Shakti was consoling Dadi…. Tej was supporting his friend Shekhar…. Sakshi was crying hugging Vikrant…. Dev was comforting Sonakshi…. Rudra was crying and Soumya was explaining him…. Gauri was sitting with Priyanka….

And away from all was Aniruddh…. He was sitting on the bench as a lifeless body…. He was staring blankly at the door of the operation theatre…. His heartbeat, his lifeline was inside that room…. His Ishana was fighting for her life…. Omkara couldn’t see his brother’s state…. They were all sitting praying to God to keep Ishana safe….

Vikram and others enter the corridor…. They were in tears seeing the condition of others…. Omkara looked at them as tears flowed from his eyes….

Yash: Where is Ishu…? How is she?
Omkara: Natasha and Karan are operating…. We have to wait for them to inform us….
Vikram: Ishu….

Vikram sat down with Yash sitting beside him…. Vidhi sat with Meera…. Ranveer came with Siddharth and Mallika….
Mallika sat down with Priyanka…. Siddharth and Ranveer walked to Omkara….

Siddharth: How is Ishana…?
Omkara: The doctors are treating her…. We have to wait for them to say something….
Ranveer: I have already lost my Ishu once…. I don’t want to lose her once again….

He had tears and Siddharth consoled him….

Shivaay and Arjun also come there…. All were sitting outside waiting for Natasha and Karan…. Hours had passed and they were waiting for one news that there Ishu is fine….

After few hours, Natasha and Karan walked out from the operation theatre…. All got up from their places and were waiting for them to speak….

Gauri: Natasha…. Karan…. How is Ishana…? She is fine naa….

Natasha and Karan looked at each other….

Vikram: Bolo beta…. How is my Ishu?
Karan: We have removed the bullet…. She is out of danger…. (All others relaxed and thanked God)…. But….

All looked at him worried…. His incomplete sentence made them worried…. Aniruddh came forward and looked at Karan…. Karan looked at him….

Aniruddh: But what Karan, what has happened…. Tell me…. How is my Ishana…?
Natasha: The injury on her head resulted in internal bleeding…. We have treated the wound…. But we don’t know when Ishana will wake up…. It may take few hours or days or even months…. She is in a coma and we don’t know when she’ll gain consciousness….

As soon as Natasha finished her statement, the entire family was taken aback…. None of them knew how to react….

Karan: We can only pray to God that Ishana wakes up soon…. We’ll shift her to a special ward, and then you all can see her….
Natasha: Please don’t take stress and be strong…. I am sure Ishana will wake up soon….

Saying so Karan and Natasha left towards their cabin….

Aniruddh sat down on the floor…. Tears that he had kept locked inside were now flowing non-stop…. All the moments he had spent with Ishana replayed in his minds…. Their first meet at the temple…. How he had seen her dancing with the kids…. Their meet at Gauri’s house…. Their talk in the rain…. Their meeting in Om’s art gallery…. How she confessed her love for him…. How she supported him when he told her the truth…. How she came with him to the hospital to meet Om…. How she came with him to receive his family at the airport…. How he confessed his love for her…. Their wedding preparations…. Their wedding…. How she was with him always when they were away from their family…. He wanted her to be with him at this moment…. He won’t live without her…. He needed his Ishana….

*FLASHBACK*

Ishana: I just hope that after going back to Mumbai…. We are able to convince Om to stay back…. I really want to stay with everyone….
Aniruddh: Because of Om and me…. You all also had to suffer so much naa…. You all didn’t want to leave Mumbai at all but you all left it because of us….
Ishana: It is true that we didn’t want to leave Mumbai…. But it is also true that we could never leave you two alone….

Ishana kept her hand on Aniruddh’s hand and he looked at her, she smiled and he smiled back,

Aniruddh: Ishana, thank you so much for always being with me…. If you weren’t there I don’t know what I would have done….
Ishana: How could I leave you alone…? I know I was upset with your decision but I always cared for you…. I could never ever think of leaving you alone…. And with the passage of time I have understood that you too missed everybody just like me…. I knew even you wished to go back to Mumbai and stay with everyone…. I could see your pain in your eyes….

Aniruddh hugs Ishana and she hugs him back,

Aniruddh: Ishana…. You are the best thing that has happened to me…. I love you a lot….
Ishana: I love you Aniruddh….

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

Aniruddh: ISHANA….

The family was already worried for Ishana and now seeing Aniruddh’s state, they were all heartbroken…. Arjun immediately hugged Aniruddh and Aniruddh cried his heart out in his elder brother’s embrace….

Aniruddh: Bhai, I want my Ishana…. Bhai, please bring her…. I cannot live without her…. Bhai, please…. She had promised me that she wouldn’t leave me…. Then how can she leave me…. How can she stay away from me…? I want her Bhai…. I want my Ishana….
Arjun: Aniruddh, don’t lose hope…. I know how much you both love each other…. Ishana will not stay away from you…. She will come back…. Your love will bring her back….

All were crying seeing Aniruddh’s state…. They all were sitting dejected feeling helpless….

Ranveer: All this happened because of me…. I am responsible for Ishana’s state….

Saying so Ranveer walked out from there…. Priyanka followed him….

OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL,

Ranveer sat down in the lawn…. Tears flowing from his eyes…. Priyanka came to him and he hugged her….

Ranveer: I already have lost my sister once…. And now again…. Again God is doing the same with me…. Last time I couldn’t save my Ishu…. And this time I am responsible for her state…. I had to be there but Ishana saved me…. And now she is lying there fighting for life…. Aniruddh is devastated…. The family is sad and all this is because of me….
Priyanka: No Ranveer, you didn’t do anything…. No one knew that something like this would happen…. No one had thought that Ishana Bhabhi would be in this state….

She hugged him tightly as he let out his tears….

*FLASHBACK TO FEW HOURS AGO*

KALYANI SADAN,

The elders had gone to the temple…. Shivaay and Arjun were in their respective offices…. Om and Aniruddh had gone to Om’s art gallery…. Ranveer was at the police station…. Rudra and Soumya had gone to his friend’s house…. Devakshi and Vikshi had gone for shopping…. Anika, Ahana, Ishana, Gauri and Priyanka were home….

The girls were having fun chatting with each other when Anika’s phone rang, she picked up the call and was shocked by what the caller said, the phone dropped from her hand, the others got worried,

Gauri: Anika Bhabhi, what has happened…? Who had called?
Anika: Shivaay…. Shivaay…. I have to go….
Priyanka: Bhabhi, what are you saying…. What has happened to Bhaiya?
Ahana: Anika, please relax and tell us exactly what happened?
Anika: It was a call from City Hospital…. They said Shivaay has met with an accident…. We have to go there…. Shivaay, he needs me…. I have to go….

All other girls were also shocked hearing this….

Ishana: Let us go then…. We’ll inform others on the way….

They immediately left the house…. Anika was crying and Ahana was consoling her…. Ishana informed Aniruddh and Om…. Priyanka called Ranveer and Rudra…. Shivaay’s phone was unreachable…. Gauri also informed Vikrant…. Ahana called Arjun…. They all left their works and started moving towards the hospital…. No one informed the elders as they would get worried….

The girls were on their way to the hospital when they saw that the road had been blocked because of some fallen tree branches…. They all got down from the cars to remove those branches…. They were removing the branches when some goons come there and surround them…. The girls looked at them…. They tried their best to resist but failed and the goons kidnapped them….

Aniruddh and Om were the first one to reach City Hospital…. They enquired about Shivaay and found that no one of that name had been admitted…. They were shocked…. Just then Om’s phone rang and he was shocked to see Shivaay calling him…. He picked up the call….

Shivaay: Om, where are you all…. I reached home just now and the entire mansion is empty…. Where has everyone gone?
Omkara: Shivaay, you are at home…. (Aniruddh looked at Om shocked)…. Shivaay…. (He told Shivaay about the phone call Anika had received)….
Shivaay: What, my accident…. Oh God…. This was a trap and…. Anika…. We have to find them….
Omkara: Don’t worry Shivaay, we are coming home…. You wait there and ask Khanna to trace their location….

Aniruddh and Om came out of the hospital when they met Ranveer, Rumya, Devakshi and Vikshi, Om told them the entire matter and they all rushed towards their home.

SOME UNKNOWN PLACE,

Anika, Ahana, Gauri, Ishana and Priyanka were tied to the chairs…. They were thinking of how to escape or inform their family….

Anika: We have to inform the others…. Or find a way to escape from here….
Ishana: You are right Bhabhi…. I am sure this is those women’s work only…. But we cannot let them succeed….
Gauri: But how do we do it…. These men are all over the place….
Ahana: Whatever it is…. Either we escape or find a way to inform our family….
Priyanka: You are right Bhabhi…. We have to find a way….

They were talking with each other when they heard few footsteps coming closer…. They all looked at the people coming and were shocked to see them…. They had expected Kaveri and Roop but others were unexpected and the man standing in the front was new to them…. None of them recognized him….

Kaveri: Welcome you all to your death….

Hearing her girls gave angry looks while the villains laughed.
