Kissing A Devil (Complete and Continuing In The Sequel)

Chapter 60

Rajiv grabs his legs,not letting him go. Sidharth kicks him to release himself. He then punches him hard, knocking him out. Sidharth stands up and before he could do anything his worst nightmare came true right in front of his eyes. He watched Nishikant pull out a knife and slit Richa's neck.
He screams at the top of his voice as he watches her fall on the ground. He runs towards her, pulling her in his arms. Blood oozes out of her neck. He presses it there trying to stop it. He had no idea when Nishikant had picked up his gun from the ground and had pointed it at Sidharth. He didn't know when Peter had fired at him and he had dropped on the ground grabbing his injured leg.

"Boss, we need to take her now."
Peter says but he doesn't hear anything.
"Boss! Boss, we need to go. We can save her if we hurry. Boss!"
Peter shakes his shoulder and he looks up. He picks her up in his arms and takes her to the car.

The car stops at the hospital and he lifts her, places her onto a stretcher.
He screams, "Somebody! Doctor! Doctor!"
A middle aged man comes over to them and instructs the nurses to take her to the OT immediately.
Sidharth grabs the shoulders of the Doctor and says, "Save her! Save her! I want you to save her"
"We will try our best."
"No. No..No.. No trying. Doctor, she must live. She has to live. She has to live.. or.. or else I will kill you."
Sidharth grabs his collar, "Yes, I will kill you right here. I will kill you and burn this hospital and everyone along with it. I will burn this city. I will destroy everything including your family. I will kill them all. Samjha tu! You don't have a choice. No. You don't have a choice. You can't try. You have to save her. Save her!"
"Boss, let him go. Boss!"
Peter and Ibrahim hold him and pull him back.

Sidharth sits on the chair swaying back and front. His hands are on the sides, clutching the seat so tight that his knuckles are white. His white shirt is drenched in blood, his arm bleeding from the bullet touch wound and his eyes stuck on the door ahead.
"Sidharth, you are bleeding. Let the doctor check your wound."
Shehnaaz whispers.
He is not listening. His mind is occupied with fear. He is living a nightmare right now.
"Sidharth!"
He doesn't say a word.

She covers his hands with hers and presses them tightly. He stops swaying and turns to look at her.
"Sidharth..baby.."
"You know Mumma is in there.. I couldn't.. save.. couldn't.. she will be okay. Right."
"Yes.. she will be alright. Thik ho jayegi."
"Yes. She has to. I will burn the city.. I will burn it..I will kill everyone if anything happens to her. no..she has to.. live.. She has to."
He turns back and starts swaying again.

The door opens and the doctor comes out. Arvind, Peter and Ibrahim go to him.
"She is stable. Still 24 hours are critical so we are keeping her under observation."
Arvind asks, "Can we see her?"
"No. Right now she is in the recovery room. Once we will shift her to the..."
Sidharth walks towards him and the doctor stops saying anything further. He walks past him towards the door.
A nurse stops him, "Aap andar nahi jaa sakte."
Sidharth just stares at her and the Doctor says, "Let him go."

Sidharth slowly moves towards the bed where Richa lays. There's a bandage on her neck and the machines beep around her. He takes her hand and places it on his cheek. He trembles a little as tears flow out of his eyes and he mutters.
"Mumma, please.. don't leave.. me again.."

"Come with me now."
Sana says to Sidharth who sits on the chair outside her room. Arvind is inside with his wife.
"I am talking to you, Sidharth Raichand."
He still doesn't reply.
"Why aren't you replying? You need to dress that wound and change that shirt of yours. Kuch bologe, ya kasam dun?"
"I am not going anywhere until she wakes up."

He finally replies.
"You want Mum to worry for you the moment she wakes up. Isn't it?"
Sidharth stares at her.
"Listen, Sidharth, mum is not going to wake up so soon. She is under anesthesia. When she wakes up, she will look for you. You must be there for her. Iss tarah jaoge toh woh aur pareshaan ho jayegi. Come with me."
She extends her hand towards him and he takes it.
