A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 126

'Rohit! Rohit, wake up!'

Rohit jerked awake.

'Sona? Kya hua? Ronit?'

Sonakshi clutched his hand.
Rohit looked at her sombre face, his heart racing.

'Still the same..'

'Magar woh raat mein jo hua..'

Rohit had seen Sonakshi dash out of the room and had waited for her. She had come back some forty five minutes later, to find him awake.

Sonakshi had told him, how his oxygen levels had lowered dangerously and they had had to use an external ventilator or BIPAP to maintain his oxygen, not wanting to intubate him.

Rohit just nodded, obviously not understanding the intricacies of this field.

'Tum ghar jao Rohit..'

'Magar Sona..'

'Rohit..shoot hai na tumhari..ghar jao, fresh hojao..mein yahin hun.'

'Tum theek to ho na?'
He ran a finger underneath her eyes, where dark circles had started to appear.

'Hmm..mein theek hun..tum please jao..'

'Kuch chahiye..ghar se..'

'Uhm, maybe some clothes would be good. I can take a shower here..phir abhi 2 hours mein Ronit ki surgery hai..'

After making sure, that Sonakshi would eat something, he reluctantly left, after hugging her tightly.

Sonakshi looked at the door as it shut behind him.

Thankyou, Rohit..I love you!

                 ********

Sonakshi finally entered her cabin, feeling bone-tired.
She had cancelled her clinics today, but had had to conduct a couple of surgeries which couldn't be postponed.

The rest of the time, she had shuffled from her theatre to the one where Ronit's surgery was being conducted.
In the end, her surgeries were finished, but Ronit's continued. His arm also had to repaired by metal plating and screws.

It had been almost a six hour long procedure before his hematoma was drained and his arm fixed. He was shifted back to the ICU after Maya had seen with her own eyes, that his surgeries had been successful.

Sonakshi sat on her desk and picked up her phone.

23 messages and 8 missed calls.

Oh, God! Rohit!

Sonakshi quickly called him back, but his phone was busy.
Sonakshi picked up her landline and ordered a coffee. She really needed one right now.

Rubbing her forehead to get rid of the impending headache, she had a sip of her coffee.

Her phone rang. It was Rohit.

'Sona! How are you? Sab theek to hai? Surgery hogayi? Tum ne kuch khaya, ya bas coffee pee rahi ho?'

Sonakshi almost spit up her coffee at that.

'Tumhe kaise pata? Ke mein coffee pee rahi thi?'

'I'm the great Rohit Sippy, husband of an even greater Sonakshi Rastogi..'

'Uff-oh! Bohot hi great hain aap..sach mein..'

It felt good talking to him.
Rohit enquired about Ronit and Sonakshi told him.

'Tum ne khud kuch khaya, Rohit?'

'Han, han, I had lunch..aaj ghar aogi?' He asked hopefully.

'Abhi I can't say..filhaal to yahin hun..'
