More Than Meets the Eye (An Ishqbaaz FF) ||✔||

17.

The Oberois dropped everything as they saw Shivaay being wheeled into the waiting room on a wheelchair. OmRu were the first ones to jump towards him.

"Shivaay, tu theek hain? Kaise hain tu?"

"Bhaiya aapko kaheen zyaada chot toh nahi lagi? Dard toh nahi ho raha?"

"Om, Rudy, relax, mujhe kuch hua hain, main bilkul theek hoon." Shivaay told them.

"Theek ho toh is wheelchair main kyoon kaid ho?" Rudra questioned.

"Arey Dr Mehra sab explain kar denge, pehle mujhe poori tarah se andar toh aane do. Give way, come on."

OmRu reluctantly moved aside  but took the opportunity to glance at Shivaay. His sherwani was taken off and he was wearing a white shirt and pants instead. He, too, had an IV line attached to his hand and the stand being dragged around with the wheelchair. There were bags under his eyes, his face was still pale and a bandage was applied on his forehead. Despite this, he still looked a lot better than from earlier that day when was brought in. Dushyant parked the wheelchair beside one of the sofas.

"Shivaay's chest CT aur ultrasound scans are clear, which means heart mein koi abnormality nahi hain. Forehead laceration par 2 stitches lage hain but it's not serious, swelling ho toh ice pack apply kijiyega. Coming to chest pain and fainting..."

"Shivaay!"

Anika ran towards Shivaay and hugged him tightly.

"Aap theek toh hain na?"

"Main theek hoon Anika. Tum theek ho?" Shivaay asked, hugging her back.

"Main bhi theek hoon." Anika pulled away to look at Shivaay and gasped. "Ghanta theek hain aap! Aapke sar pe patti kyoon bandhi hain? Haath mein bhi. Aur aap wheelchair pe kyoon hain? Aur ise aap "theek hoon" kehte hain?!" She turned towards Dushyant. "Doctor, Shivaay toh mujhe theek su kuch batate nahi, please aap batayiye, yeh sach mein theek hain ya nahi? Aur kya hua tha inhe? Yeh kab tak theek honge?"

"Anika!" Tia, who was a few steps behind, called out. "Calm down. Tum Shivaay aur Di se thodi better condition mein ho but that doesn't mean you can run and jump around. Sofa pe baith jao."

"Arey likin..."

"Baitho warna Dushyant tumhe Shivaay ki condition ke baare mein nahi batayega."

Dushyant was about to object but Tia glared him down. Anika reluctantly sat on the sofa next to Shivaay.

"Yes, so the chest pain, fluctuating pulse and BP and dizziness were symptoms of arrhythmia, that is irregular heartbeats. Extreme stress, dehydration improper diet and skipping medicines caused the arrhythmias." Dushyant explained.

"Khaana aur dawaai nahi khaya?! Shivaay, yeh toh aap hadh hi karte hain! Maine aapko phone pe bhi kaha tha ki ghar aane ki phursat na ho toh paani, dawaai aur woh firangi chikki aapki car mein rakkhi hain, kha lijiyega likin nahi. Shree Shree Shree 1008 Kanji Aankhon-wale Billuji Maharaj SSO ko meri koi baat kahaan sunni hoti hain!" Anika ranted.

"Excuse me, first of all it's not "firangi chikki", it's "granola bar". Secondly, don't call me...that!"

"That kya? "Billuji"? Main toh boloongi. Ek baar nahi, hazaar baar. Billuji, Billuji, Billuji, Billuji!"

"I said don't call me that! Warna main bhi tumhe... Paanika boloonga!"

"Aye! Mera naam bigaadiye! Aur yeh kya ulta chor kotwaal ko daant raha hain!? Galti aapki thi, aap dawa aur khaana bhool gayi aur main daant rahi toh aap ulta mujhe hi daant rahe hain?!"

"Meri baat chhodo, apni karo. At least main aapni heart condition ki wajah se faint hua tha likin tumhara kya? Tum kyoon aur kaise behosh ho gayi? Kitne time khaana nahi khaaya, paani nahi piya, rest nahi kiya, huh?"
