A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 196

'Sona..'

'Ji, Mom! Sab okay? Aap ne iss waqt call ki?'

'Woh, Arihaan..'

Sonakshi had just come out from a surgery and been heading to her cabin. She stopped now, as Veena did.

'Arihaan? Kya hua usse?'

'Woh..please naraz mat hona..'

'Mom! Mein kyun naraz hongi..aap batayen na..'
Her heartbeat had escalated double time, as she waited for Veena to complete what she had to say.

'Mein kitchen mein thi, or Arihaan bahar lounge mein so raha tha..pata nahin kis time uth gaya..'

'Kya hua hai, Mom! Jaldi batayen na..'
Sonakshi's voice was getting impatient now.
She heard him crying in the back.

'Woh gir gaya..or kafi khoon..'

'What?!?! Mein..mein abhi aati hun..'

Sonakshi ran across the corridor, her stomach doing somersaults, when she heard Veena's voice again. She realised she hadn't cut off the call.

'Sona!! Aao mat! Naren or mein usse leke arahe hain, hospital! Mein tum ko bata rahi thi!'

'Okay..okay..good! Jaldi aayen..'

Sonakshi rushed to the ER, informing the staff there. There was nothing to do but wait.
As she was pacing, her phone rang. Thinking it was Veena again, she picked it up, her voice breathless from all the panicking.

'Han, Mom! Kahan hain aap?'

'Hey, Sona! Kya hua? Mom nahin, Rohit! Itni ghabrayi hui kyun ho..'

He heard her sniffle.
'Sona! Kya hua hai? Tum theek to ho? Kuch bolo to..'

'Rohit!'
She finally spoke, her voice almost a whimper.
'Arihaan..'

'Arihaan! Kya hua hai! Batao mujhe!'
His voice had risen as well.

'Mom..Mom ki call aayi..usse..usse chott lagi hai..she said bleeding..'

'Kahan hai woh? Mein..'

'Woh usse la rahi hain hospital..'

'I..I'll be right down..'
And he cut the call.

Sonakshi lifted her head in prayer.

Please, please, God! Mera beta theek ho..usse kuch nahin ho sakta..

A commotion had her look towards the door, where she saw Naren run inside, with Arihaan in his arms, and Veena right on his heels.
Sonakshi met them midway, and was stunned to see her son. Her heart lurched at the sight.
There was blood oozing out  from his forehead, despite a bandage that maybe Veena had put to stop the bleeding.

Sonakshi had a bout of nausea, feeling as if she would throw up the sandwich she had downed with her coffee, before she had gone in for her surgery.

'Arihaan!!'
She took him from Naren.

His crying was non stop but he recognised her, and tried to bury himself in her neck.

'Mama!'
His tears were mixed with the blood still coming out of his temple.

Sonakshi ran with him to the ER, where her staff came hurrying forward to help.

'Ma'am! Aap please yahan hi rukiye..'
The duty doctor requested her.

'Lekin woh..'

'Ma'am! Aap ko takleef hogi..please..'

Sonakshi nodded, as the doctor hurried inside the cubicle.
Naren and Veena stood behind her.
