The hug broke out when the operation theater gates opened, the doctors walked out, softly talking to one another. They looked at the two pairs of eyes, "The good news is she is out of danger," they sighed, "but we have to wait for her to gain consciousness. We will shift her to an available ward in some time" One doctor touched Kairav's shoulder, "Take care."
As Akshara was wheeled out of the operation theater, Abhimanyu looked at her bandaged face, he quickly held on to her wrist and measured her heartbeat. As he felt her heartbeat, his broken heart healed.
She was there!
Sukoon.
He got her back.
Kairav removed his glasses, wiping his tears, after so many hours, he sighed of relief, "Akshu, mera baacha," he caressed her head and kissed her forehead, "bhai loves you bache!"
They had her back.
The next few hours were excruciatingly long. Kairav sat by Akshara, texting with the family and informing them about her condition, while Abhimanyu stood against the wall, recollecting all the moments that made his heart skip a beat, but nothing was close to how he felt with Akshara around. He wondered how did he fall in love with her so fast. How within a few days, he knew she was the one he wanted to be with. After so many years of his life, he had felt like someone could make him laugh and smile, methi-dane wali smile, someone could bring the peace and fill the void in his life. His troubled relationship with his father, his protectiveness for his mother, a past he knew too well and always wanted to escape, but Akshara made him feel like she could heal him. Not just her soothing voice that touched his soul, but her existence mattered to him, he wanted her, no he needed her in his life. Over the last few days, he slowly fell for her, madly even, even before he knew he could be so madly in love with her, she organized his birthday for him, gave confidence to his mom to sing in front of so many people, saved him from getting defamed, healed his mother with her music therapy, how could she be the solution to every problem he had?
Closing his eyes, he thought of her smile. The pretty smile that healed him, all he wished for was her happiness now.
"Abhimanyu," her brother asked quietly, "why don't you sit down, I'm going to get us some tea?" He nodded and went to sit down by her, finally it was just her and him.
He looked at her and spoke, "Akshu," controlling his tears, he touched her fingers, and brought it close to his lips and kissed them softly, "do you have any idea how scared we all were. How much your family needs you! How much we love..." he smiled, "how much I love you...I didn't even know I would fall for you so deeply Akshu, in this imperfect world, where this imperfect me lives, you made me believe that I could live happily for the rest of my life. You have changed me Akshara Goenka and I will not let you leave me so easily," he kissed her forehead and put his head next to her sleeping face, holding her hand, he whispered, "Thank you for saving meri Jaan..." he looked at her face, "Lord Shiva, please save her from the wrath that came to her today and any that will come again."
