Forever Yours

Part 16

RECAP: A small leap which shows some flashbacks of Preeta and Ananya or Karan and Preeta's nok-jok. Shrishmeer Sangeet and the arrival of Rishi and Shivani. The chandelier was going to fall on Karan and Ananya who were dancing under it but Preeta saved them in the nick of time injuring herself in the process. While going up the stairs, Preeta fainted in Karan's arms.

In Rishabh's room, Rishabh put down Ananya carefully on the bed. Ananya looked at Arhaan who was sleeping peacefully and hugged him to her chest. Arhaan cuddled with her in his sleep. Ananya let out a small sob and immediately Rishabh wrapped his arms around her. Those present in the room, went out to give them some privacy.

Rishabh also felt at ease. He was so scared when he saw Preeta pushing Karan and pulling Ananya towards her and then seconds later, the chandelier fell down behind them. His heart had stopped beating for a moment before he quickly regained his senses and rushed towards them.

Rishabh hugged them more tightly. This was his world; Ananya, Arhaan and their unborn child. Some times ago, he could have lost half of his world. Rishabh couldn't imagine his life without them. Today, his fear of losing them almost came true. He was on the point of losing his two reasons to live; his dear wife and his lovely brother, the apple of his eye.

A knock was heard. Rishabh and Ananya wiped their tears and told the person to enter. It was the doctor accompany by Rakhi and Sarla. The doctor checked Ananya and the baby and reassured them that everything was alright and there's no need to worry.

Everyone breathed in a relief. The doctor requested Ananya to take rest and not to stress too much. After the doctor left, Rishabh made Ananya took her medicine and made her sleep but Ananya refused.

"Pihu. I want to see her. She was bleeding profusely. Please Rishabh bring me to her. Mom, please, mummyji." Ananya pleaded.

Rakhi and Sarla looked at each other then at Rishabh. The latter sighed at his wife's stubbornness. He nodded slightly and helped Ananya to stand up. Rakhi proposed to stay here with Arhaan until they came back. The three of them went to the guestroom to see Preeta.

In the guestroom, until the doctor came, Karan had already started to clean the small cuts on Preeta's back. He had lay her on the bed and turned her so that she's on her stomach and her bare back was exposed. Karan flinched at every small piece of glass he was taking out.

Preeta was the one who was hurt but Karan was the one who was feeling the pain. A tear rolled down his cheeks when he was cleaning the long deep cut. The doctor came and requested everyone to go out but Karan refused to leave Preeta alone.

Nobody tried to convince him as they all knew he wouldn't listen. The doctor reluctantly agreed. After examining the cut, he informed Karan that she would need stitches on the upper part since it was too deep compare to the lower part which was just scratched. Karan averted his eyes from Preeta to look at the wall in front of him, his hand still tightly clasped in Preeta's. He closed his eyes as he heard the doctor stitching the upper cut.

Outside, Ananya, Rishabh and Sarla reached there and asked Shrishti about Preeta. At the same time, the door opened and the doctor came out. Immediately, Shrishti started asking him about Preeta.

"There is no need to worry. She had needed some stitches for her deep long cut but just half of it. There is no risk of infections but I would suggest you to bring her to the hospital to check. I have already gave Mr Luthra the prescription. She would gain consciousness in some time."

"Thank you doctor. Please I will escort you out." Sameer said and went with the doctor.

Ananya rushed inside, followed by the rest. Rishi side-hugged Shivani and entered the room but stood in the corner. Karan was still sitting by her side, caressing her hairs. Ananya went to sit on her other side and slowly touched her hand.
