He goes inside ICU where shehnaaz was now shifted and he controlled himself with a great difficulty. He sat on the stool beside the hospital bed. His eyes were fixed on shehnaaz. He was looking her from head to toe. When last time he saw her she was giggling and laughing and now she is lying lifelessly on hospital bed. He caresses her bandaged head and kissed her forehead. He holds her hand lightly.
Sidharth: shehnaaz...shehnaaz...get up shehnaaz. Bas kar ab uth ja. Dekh tujhe attention chahiye thi. Dekh tujhe whole sale me kitni attention mil rahi hai. Uth ja na baby. Dekh bahar tere mummy papa, ma , preeti, neetu kitne zada pareshaan hai or....or main kitna pareshaan. Mujhe pata chal gaya hai baby ki tu mere liye kitna zaruri hai baby. Uth ja please. I...i love you sweetheart. I know me bot late hu. Yeh..yeh realise karne me. Mujhe pata hai main gadha hu bot bada gadha hu. Jo itna time laga dia. Main nahi reh sakta hu tere bina. Main mar jaunga uth shehnaaz plz uth ja .
Sidharth keeps his head on her hand and starting crying but he feels movement on her hand. He looks on her face but her eyes were closed but he knew he was not hallucinating. He called doctor.
Sidharth: doctor iske haath me movement hui hai. Maine feel kia hai.
Doctor checked her.
Doctor: you are right sidharth. She is showing improvement. She will be ok. I think now she is out of danger. She is fine.
Sidharth took a sigh of relief and a tear rolls down his eye. He joins his hands infront of doctor.
Sidharth: thank you doctor. Thank you soo much. Aap nhi jaante aapne kitna bada ehsaan kia hai mujhpe. I will be always greatful.
Doctor: nhi sir yeh humari nhi aap sabki prayers or aapke pyaar ka nateeja h. Humne to utna hi kia jo humare bas me tha. Baaki shehnaaz ki will power or aapki duao ka asar hai. Aap jaiye or thoda relax kijiye. Ab kbhi bhi hosh me jaygi yeh.
Sidharth kisses shehnaaz forehead and heads out of the room. He tells everyone about improvement in shehnaaz. Each and everyone took sigh of relief.
Rita ma: sidharth ab plz kuch khale or ghar jaake fresh hoja. Tune kal dopahar se kuch nhi khaya hai.
Sidharth: nhi mom. Shehnaaz ko hosh aaya or me yha nhi hua to vo mujhpe gussa kregi. Main nhi jaunga.
Rita ma: acha theek hai par kuch khale main laa deta hu.
Sidharth just nods and sits on the bench outside ICU. Rita ma bought a sandwich from kitchen canteen and fed him.
Sidharth: ma, uncle, aunty please aap log ghar jaiye preeti or neetu ke saath. 10 baj rahe hai. Thoda araa kijiye 3-4 ghante ke baad aa jaiyga. Par abhi jao. Main or shehbaaz hai yaha.
Papa gill: theek hai beta. Hum jaate hai. Tu apna or shehnaaz ka khyaal rakhna. Hum aate hai thodi der khana vana leke. Chaliye bhenji. Chal parminder.
They all went to sid's home. Sid and shehbaaz were sitting outside ICU. In the evening doctor came out after checking shehnaaz.
Sidharth: doctor koi improvement.
Doctor: congratulations sir. Shehnaaz ko hosh aa gya hai. Vo ab theek hai. Vitals near normal. She is fine. Aap chahe to ek ek kar kar mil sakte hai.
Sidharth didnt knew how to react. His happiness had no bounds. This is the best news of his life that he has heard after the worst two days. Suddenly he could feel his foot not working. His stomach was doing somersaults.
Sidharth: thank you doctor. Thank you so much.
Doctor: yeh humari duty hai sir. Jaiye ab aap mil lijiye apni shehnaaz se
Sidharth: thank you doctor.
Sidharth takes small steps and goes inside the ward. He was not able to lift his head so that shehnaaz cant see his eyes which will be horrible. With great courage he lifts his head up and a traitor tear rolls out of his eye. His baby, his jaan, his everything was lying on the hospital bed looking at him.
Shehnaaz: sid...sidharth..
She tries to get up. Immediately sid runs and make her sit comfertably. He was just looking at her without blinking. Only their eyes were talking.
Shehnaaz: sidharth
Sidharth: chup ek dum chup. Yeh mat samjhna ki hospital main hai to main kuch kahunga nahi. Jaan nikal kar rakh di thi tune. Kis ne kaha tha tujhe gaadi chalane ko. Driver mar gya tha. Kushal nahi tha. Kyu challai gaadi. Itna bhi nahi socha tujhe kuch hogya to uncle aunty ja kya hoga, preeti neetu ka kya hoga maa kya hoga or mera..mera kya hoga. Ek baar bhi nhi socha. Aaj ke baad gaadi ke aas paas bhi dikhi na to haal dekhio apna.
Shehnaaz was crying. Sid sat on bed next to her. Shehnaaz hugged him tightly. But winces in pain. Sidharth breaks the hug.
Sidharth: chod pagal kya kar rahi hai lag jaygi.
Shehnaaz: nhi maine nhi chodna tujhe. Hone de dard
Sidharth: shehnaaz hat ja.
He breaks the hug and cups her face and pecks her forehead.
Sidharth: main bot darr gya tha shehnaaz. Please dont do this circus again. Dobara nahi seh paunga.
