***Ramya's POV.***

I hear voices around me, which brings back my consciousness. But as I open my eyes, I feel horrible all over. My mouth feels dry as desert, my head feels fuzzy, weirdly my body itches a little and not to forget my head hurts. I feel uncomfortable all over.

I look around to see I am in the hospital bed. How did I get here? The last memory I have is someone kidnapping me and throwing me in the hut. There were three men, and I thought to do something rather than just sit around. So I kicked the knife out of one man's hand, but the other person held my hands behind my back and then they made me drink something. After that, everything else got hazy.

"How do you feel, Ms. Kaur?" A nurse asks.

"Dry." I say and my voice comes out hoarse.

"I will bring some cold water for you." She says and rushes out.

I think it is a general ward because curtains surround my bed. My stomach feels funny. What did they make me drink? Some kind of drug maybe. Ugh! I wanna die rather than feel this way. If only I had stayed in the car with Reyansh.

"Rey..." I say and start coughing.

"Here. Oh, are you not feeling well? Maybe the side effects of drugs. I will call the doctor right away." The nurse says and leaves after giving me water.

I didn't even get the chance of how I got here and where Reyansh is. Is he okay? Was he the one who found me? If so, where is he?

"The patient on a bed no.6 died, sister." I hear a nurse saying.

"Poor guy. He fought hard for his and the girl's life." Another nurse says.

"Really?" She asks.

"Yes. The word is he was trying to save a girl's life who was kidnapped and got shot. He looked like he was from a good family." The nurse says.

"Well, I will inform the ward boy to take him to the mortuary." The voices fade away and my heart clenches.

Kidnapped? Shot? Trying to save? Those words keep coming to me and make me go crazy, and I feel dread in my heart. I slowly get up from the bed and wobble a little but don't stop. I try to find the bed and when I do, every step towards it feels heavy. As I draw the curtain away, I feel the bile rising, but I control it. But as soon as I see the cloth covering the whole body and the clipboard with his name, I feel dizzy.

With the support of bed railings, I walk to his side and, with shaking hands, pull the sheet away from his face. I gasp when I see his closed eyes with pale face and big bandage on his head. Was he shot in the head?

"I... I... I am... sorry." I say and crash down on his chest.

"Ahh!" He screams.

"Ahhh!" I scream, watching him sit up. "Ghost! Ghost!"

I try to run away, but he grabs my hand and says, "I am no ghost. Ghost doesn't cry out in pain when someone crashes down on their chest when they finally get some sleep." Reyansh says as he rubs his chest.

"So... you are... not... dead?" I ask.

"No. But drink some water first. You sound horrible." He says, and I do as he says as I am parched. "Slowly now. We don't want you choking." He says soothingly as I drink the water like I am a small baby. But I like his concern so I say nothing.
