Ishqbaaz – Rikara Fire Incident Chapter 8

The doctor comes out and heads towards Om.

O: Doctor, please tell me she is fine.

D: Sorry, Om. I understand that you are her husband and your feelings.

Everyone looks at Om in shock.

S(Thinking): He accepted her as his wife.

D: But, she is in very critical condition. She has lost a lot of blood and also suffered internally from the fire. There are also major bruises on her body. Now, it is up to the god. We will be monitoring her condition and let you know of her condition as soon as it changes.

The doctor walks away.

O: Shivaye… The doctor said that he cannot do anything. What can I do if the doctor has said that he cannot do anything?

They all group hug Om, but then Om breaks free from the hug.

O(Thinking): There is something I can do to save Gauri.

O: Shivaye, Rudra, let me know if there are any changes to Gauri’s situation. I need to do something to get Gauri back.

S: Om, where are you going? What if the doctor calls you?

O; The doctor said that there is nothing he can do. Now, only I can save her.

R: But, you need to be here.

O(Seriously): Shut up, Rudra. Gauri needs me so I need to do this for her.

Om runs out of the hospital and heads into the car. The car stops in front of the Shiv temple. Om looks up the stairs.

O: I know I am hurt and cannot climb these stairs but for her, I will do anything.

Om quickly runs up the stairs but blood gushes out of the wound. He, then slows down and take a step at a time. Unable to take another step, he falls on the stairs.

O: For Gauri! This is for my Gauri!

Om starts to crawl and finally he reaches the temple. He crawls to Shiv and Parvati and slowly gets up.

O: Gauri has always valued you and given you the status that is equal to her mother. But, now, that girl is in the hospital, holding onto her dear life. You will bring her back to me, do you understand.

He sits directly in front of the god and stares at her.

O: I have never believed in god after what happened to my parents. Even, with the murti, I only came because Dadi asked me. You may think I am arrogant but now I am willing to let go of all the arrogance for her. (Putting his hands together, praying and in tears) Please save Gauri!

He sits there with his hands together, praying. It has been an hour and still he has not received a call from Gauri. Then, he remembers as soon as he woke up from his comma, he saw Gauri holding fire in her hand.

O(Thinking): Gauri held fire so I can wake up and I did. So if I do that now, Gauri will wake up.

Om takes the fire and is about to put in on my hand when he stopped by Rudra and Shivaye.

Promo:
R: Are you crazy?

O: No, I need to do this for Gauri. Let go of my hand.

S: Do not be so stupid, Om. Just by hurting yourself, Gauri will not wake up. She is a strong girl and will use all her strength.

O: This Shankerji will give her the strength. Let go of my hand.

S: No…

O(Eyes red and in anger): Shivaye…Singh…Oberoi,let go of my hand now or you will face my anger.
