Beep. Beep. Beep.

Only the ECG monitor's sound can be heard. The nurses are running here and there to save the three lives.

Two people are sitting outside the OT. Both are silently crying thinking of their fate. The OT door opened and their family doctor and surgeon came out. The girl suddenly stood up and ran to them.

' Doctor, how is mom and dad? Are they ok?' asked the girl. The doctor had a complicated expression on his face. He didn't know what to tell her.

'Sorry dear , we couldn't save your dad. I'm sorry.' The girl stood numb and sat on the floor with a thud. The boy ran to her and held her close to him. He turned to the doctor and asked with a pained face, ' What about Sree aunty? Is she okay?'

The doctor asked him to come to his cabin with her and left. He turned to the girl in his arms. ' Nidhi, come on get up, we should go.' 'Vicky, my dad left me' . She cried while clutching his t shirt . His heart ache seeing her in this state. He picked her bridal style and walked into the doctor's cabin.

When they settled down, the doctor started speaking, ' See Vikram, I don't know how to tell this, Sreelekshmi is brain dead. She got hit on back of her head pretty hard which ruptured the veins connected to the brain' . Both of them froze hearing it. They both thought atleast one person will be alive for them but fate has another plans. Silent tears fell from their eyes. She lost her family and he lost his mother like figure.

The doctor sighed sadly and suddenly became serious. ' There is one important thing you need to know. ' They both looked at him with glossy eyes. He noticed that the girl have a bit of her mother's eyes.

' I don't know if you know this but Sreelekshmi was two weeks pregnant.' Nidhi and Vikram were stunned hearing this. The doctor looked at them and continued, ' I don't know if it's a miracle but the child's heart is still beating and is perfectly safe.' Nidhi was staring at the doctor without any emotion. She was still processing everything in her mind. The doctor continued , ' What I'm saying is we can transfer the foetus to another woman's womb and we have to do it within 3 hours maximum, then we can save the baby. Do you have anyone in mind?' Both of them were still in a daze. They don't know whether to be happy or sad hearing it. Happy that someone unexpected entered their life or sad that both of them died. But they have to find a woman as soon as possible. Vikram excused himself and came out of the cabin to contact someone.

Nidhi was thinking about something very seriously. Vikram came inside with a disappointed face. He had tears in his eyes. Who knew that the great Vikram Samvat , the right hand of JAGUARS will cry one day.

Nidhi looked at him and then at the doctor. After some time she started speaking, ' I am ready, doctor' . They both frowned and looked at eachother. 'What do you mean Nidhi?'  Vicky asked confused. She looked at the doctor and said , ' I am ready to trasfer the baby to my womb. '
