Shivaay: (goes to her and holds her face) I’m the one supposed to get stabbed but you came in between… I’m sorry, Madhu…
Madhu: What you will do, bhaiya?? No one expected like this… But, who is that person?? How dare he?? (Holds her stomach and winces in pain…)
Arjun: (goes to her and side hugs her) Madhu, we will talk about this later… Don’t strain yourself… Your wounds are still fresh… (Madhu nods and thinks something)
Madhu: Where is Om bhaiya?? (All look each other in shock)
Prinku: He went to get something for us to eat… He will be here in a while… You take rest first…
Madhu: (looking at everyone) Is everything fine?? Why I’m feeling like you all are hiding something??
Raghav: Madhu, please don’t talk like Ranveer…
Dush: Of course she will talk like him only… After all she is his sister…
Sid: Hey, stop teasing her both of you… (Hugs Madhu’s arm and kisses her forehead) Everything is fine only, Madhu… We are worried that this happened to you… (Madhu smiles weakly at him)
Savi: Luckily, nothing bad happened… Thanks to maata raani… (Madhu smiles at her… SweNiTiMi go towards her and kiss her cheeks…)
Karan: Madhu, you take rest first… We will see you in a while… (Madhu nods her head… RanRaDuKa kiss her forehead and leave from the room with everyone except Karthik… Madhu is surprised to see Karthik who is looking at her with tear filled eyes…)
Madhu: Karthik!!?? (Karthik goes and hugs her making her shock) What happened, Karthik??
Karthik: (cries) I’m sorry, Madhu… I didn’t see that guy having a knife… I was playfully pushing you… I didn’t expect this to happen…
Madhu: (breaks the hug) What are you saying?? Whatever happened has nothing to do with you…
Karthik: (still crying) No, Madhu… This would not have happened if I didn’t push you… It’s because of me… (Madhu feels bad seeing him crying like this)
Madhu: Karthik, stop crying… What you will do if that man stab me?? Listen to me… Whatever happened not because of you… (Karthik doesn’t listen to her and continue crying…) I said stop crying, Karthik!! (A bit louder making him shock… He stops crying and looks at her) That’s good… My head is paining listening to your cry… (Karthik just looks at her without blinking his eyes… Madhu holds his hand…) Please don’t blame yourself, Karthik… I can’t see you like this… (Karthik smiles and hugs her… She winces in pain… Karthik breaks the hug and looks at her apologetically… Madhu smiles) It’s ok… I’m fine…
Karthik: Madhu, you take rest first… I’ll come in a while… (He makes her to lie and covers her with blanket… He cups her face and kisses her forehead deeply stunning her… He looks at her who is still lost in the kiss and chuckles) See you… (Leaves from the room)
Madhu: (confused) What is wrong with him?? He never behaved like this with me… (Smiles) But, I like this closeness with him… (Closed her eyes and sleeps)
Omkara has been shifted to normal ward but he is still unconscious… The Oberois go and see him first followed by the Raichands… They feel bad looking at his state… Ishana cries looking at him… ShivRu hug her… They leave from the room after a while…
Nurse: Only one person can stay with the patient…
Jhanvi: I will stay with him…
Shivaay: Bade ma, you go back and have some rest… (Looks at Ishana) Ishu will stay with him… (Ishana hugs him)
Ishu: Thanks, bhaiya… (Shivaay caresses her back and nods his head looking at Jhanvi… Jhanvi too nods her head understanding him…)
Rudra: Who will stay with Madhu??
Karthik: I will stay with her… (All look at him in surprise while the youngsters chuckle looking at him) She is in this state because of me… That’s why…..
Sid: We understood, Karthik… You can stay with her…
Ranveer: Don’t tease her like you used to do… Ok??
Karthik: How I will tease her in this situation, yaar?? (Ranveer pats his cheek)
Arjun: Karthik, take care of my both sisters… Call me if anything means… (Karthik nods… The Oberois and Raichands hug Ishana and leave from hospital…)
ShivRu wanted to stay with Omkara but they control themselves because they know Ishana needs to be with him than them… They could understand how much she has suffered since he got shot… After all, she almost faced the same tragedy she faced two years ago… That is the reason they let Ishana to stay with their beloved brother…
Ishana goes to Omkara’s ward and sees him still unconscious… She sits beside him and holds his hand… She recalls the night when the chandelier fell on her, he is the one took care of her… She smiles thinking about those moments… She kisses his hand and places it on her face…
Ishu: I love you, Omkara… I love you very much… (Chuckles) I said that I will scream my love in front of this world… I did as I said but you didn’t hear me… Never mind, I will say it once again after you wake up… (Kisses his cheek and places her head on his pillow looking at him…)
Karthik come to see if Ishana is fine… He sees her lying beside Omkara and goes towards her… He places his hand on her head…
Ishu: (still looking at Omkara) I’m fine, Karthik… You go and stay with Madhu…
Karthik: (smiles) Ok, Ishu maa… Call me if you need anything… (Ishana nods her head… Karthik kisses her head and leaves from the room)
