Looking outside the ward towards the night sky, Kairav sipped the hot tea. "Papa, Mama, and Sirat ma, please tell me what I should do? Give me some hints... if you had been here, you would have known, maybe none of this would have happened. The relationship between Akshara and Aarohi would have been normal." He turned around to see his sister peacefully unconscious and right next to her, Abhimanyu slept, his hand holding on to Akshara's hand. What is right to do? he pondered.
Abhimanyu snored lightly, making Kairav chuckle. He witnessed Abhimanyu's love for Akshara for the first time. Those tears and worry were evident. It wasn't just Akshara who loved him dearly, he too loved her equally. He sipped the tea, his headache had to go if he was to help these two love birds. He wanted the best for Akshu and it was finally clear to him, he had chosen Abhimanyu for his Akshu. If anything was to happen to him, he knew this man would take care of his little sister. He felt relieved. He walked towards the two, he grinned, with tears in his eyes, "Haeee, nazar na lage." If papa had seen you two, he would have shouted, "stay away from my daughter, but I know Doctor Birla, you have never been shaken by any operation as you were today, all for my sister." He smiled and without disturbing either, he walked out of the ward thinking. 'Akshara will be fine, now only if I could find a way to take care of Aarohi.'
In the middle of the night, a loud shout, "Akshara," woke Kairav up. His heart raced as he looked at Abhimanyu in front of him. "What happened?" he asked. There was irregular breathing, he called out her name, "Akshu!" He pressed the alert button by the bed, while Abhimanyu got her oxygen mask in place. He opened her eyes to see her respond to light, nothing. He pinched the skin on her hand, no response. "Get the doctor Kairav, get the Doctor NOW!" He pressed the alert button.
A distressed nurse ran in, "what happened?"
"It's a medical emergency, we need to shift her to an ICU," he managed to shout.
As the night staff ran inside to check on Akshara, the doctor treating Akshara did a few quick tests, but before they could say anything, he shook his head in defeat, Abhimanyu knew what had happened. Whereas, Kairav looked at the doctor and Abhimanyu, unable to understand what had taken place in the last few seconds. He turned to look at his sister, who now slept peacefully in front of him.
Naira planted a kiss on Akshara's forehead, "let's go, papa ki pari."
