"Hello, Ira bete?" Talia mom said on phone.

We were in Anwar's arsenal with Maa fainted.

"Hmm?" I said.

"Zain.."

"What Zain?" I got scared.

"He's no more in coma. He can talk now." Said Talia Mom.

"Ohh my God, I am coming." Tears were streaming down my cheeks.

...

"Zainnnnnn," I ran to Zain's hospital bed. I gave him a small side hug, just not to hurt him much. Tears were flowing continuously. He was still not well completely but the doc said that he came out of the coma and he will not be sent to comatose again. Sending him back to coma was not safe.

"Irr. I missed you." Zain said in a weak voice.

"You liar. You didn't miss me . The only reason you were not waking up."

Neil and Ayaan had also entered the room.

Neil was crying very badly. Ayaan's eyes were red.

"Why are you crying Neil?" Zain said and smiled.

"I hate you." Neil said and ran out of the room. I stood up and went after him. Ayaan took my seat and grasped Zain's palm lightly.

...

"Ira, sing that song again. You were awesome that day." Zain said and laughed . He was lying on the hospital bed. His injuries were not recovering. Five days had passed since Zain woke up from coma.

Shrey, Ayaan and Neil were also there.

"Oh no! Shut up." I blushed and started looking on the other side of the room.

"Ira can sing also?" Neil asked and laughed.

"Hey don't underestimate my best friend. She has been a bathroom singer ever since I could remember." Shrey said and chuckled with my brothers. I swatted Shrey with a magazine which was kept on the table beside me.

"Let's sing friends by Guilio Cercato." Ayaan said.

"I don't remember the lyrics." Neil said.

"Then sit and listen."

"Half three when I called you up
Said I need you now cause I'm losing patience
By four you were knocking on my door
I said love is a two way road...." We sang.
