His POV

.

*Later that day, still in the hospital*

After hours in the operation theatre and quite a few surgeries. The doctors finally came out.

Doctor: "Mr.-"

"What had happened to her? Is she safe? Out of danger as you people quote it?" I bombarded questions at the poor doctor.

"First of all, yes the surgeries were successful, and she is out of danger, for now, it was a fortunate miracle that her head didn't get hurt at all but we still need to monitor her before reaching any further conclusions. As for what happened to her, it is quite difficult to explain here. Let's talk in my cabin." the doctor informed as he assessed the nurses and staff around. Hearing him I released a shaky breath of relief, I felt as if some weight was put off my shoulders. Composing myself, I gave him a curt nod and followed him to his cabin.

*In the cabin*

We both sat in silence for a few minutes, He was typing away some things on his computer with trembling hands, that gesture was enough for me to understand something was wrong, hearing nothing from him was only feeding my anxiety. I was not a patient man and was a grain of wheat away from strangling the doctor in front of me. The only thing keeping me sane was that the operations and surgeries were successful.

Five more minutes had passed still nothing, and suddenly something clicked, I wished, I was wrong but with each passing minuter my worries were only growing. At last, my patience snapped "What's wrong with the surgery?" and the doctor winced, 'hah! That hit a bullseye !'

"Well, Mr Sai I want you to know that we tried our bes-" He started to ramble in a crooked voice but I cut him off

"What.went.wrong. I asked you a question and I want you to answer me. Is it that difficult that you have to start the conversation by making excuses!?HUH?" that shut him off.

His eyes trembled as if begging me to forgive him, pathetic. I told him to get up and explain me everything in detail if he wanted to keep his job

"Sir, it wouldn't have been this bad if at least she had her seat belt on, but she wasn't wearing one, resulting in a contusion to her chest causing broken ribs and internal bleeding, and because the surgery was successful she will be able to recover to almost 100 % with the help of rehab, but during the accident, when the car must have flipped, her legs suffered trauma, especially her left leg, her tissues tore and she had clots forming in her veins resulting in DVT or deep vein thrombosis, by the time the patient was brought in, it was already too late, even after the surgery, we can't guarantee complete recovery of her leg, she might have to limp even after rehab."

I didn't know how to react as I took in whatever he said, I grew worried about how would react when she hears it. The what ifs cloud my mind again, and before I can stop, I find myself uttering "What should I do? How can I help her? Please I- I will do anything in my power to make her all better again!!"

"Mr Sai, We did whatever we could... I am not saying that she will not recover completely, but there is a possibility that it might happen-"

"Is there anything else you would want to inform me?" I cut him off. again.

"N-No.. sir, but we will inform you first as we keep her under observation." He stammers, clearly terrified. I let out a sigh "It's alright, you can calm down now. Take whatever deep breaths you have to take and cool down.." He looks at me shocked, this is the reason I don't behave nicely with people. "Sir, My jo-" "You still have it. Stay on her case, no one other than necessary people should know about anything regarding her, especially not the media am I making myself clear?" I ask with a raised brow approving his head-bobs I stand up from the chair and move towards the exit door, just as I was about to open the door I realize something and turn to look at the doctor stood up bowing and still bobbing his head, "And one more thing doc" he looks up at me and I continue "Don't tell her about her leg complications for now. And whenever she wakes up 'I' should be the first person to know about it or any reports on her in general too." He starts bobbing his head again.

I leave the cabin and go to the VIP resting lounge of the hospital, I enter and the scene clenches my heart, Isra is sitting on the bed cocooned and sniffing as if trying to control her tears. I go to the side table and fetch a glass of water for her and walk toward her. If she has noticed me she's doing a very good job ignoring me. I sit at the edge of the bed and tug covers, and somehow make her sit up, forwarding the glass to her, I gesture her to drink it and she accepts it and slowly drinks every last drop. "You want more?" I ask her and she shakes her head like a kid and puts the glass on the bedside table. And blinks up at me with her puffy eyes, Oh lord, She cried a lot

"I- I should *hic* I should have been here, with her." and with that, she starts crying again, my heart tightens and I pull her into my embrace, I hate when people cry because I don't know how to comfort them."You couldn't have done anything.. You know how stubborn she gets, don't you?" rubbing her back an attempt to calm her down but she cries even more"But at least I would have been with her even, I could at least try, bhai I thought she would always confide things to me but how come I didn't know anything about this fiasco, I got to know when Nannu asked me to come here but I w-was too l-late, too late bhai what should I do!? I am such a *hic* such a bad friend bhai"

(Bhai= Brother in Hindi)

"You're not a bad friend Lily, and what matters is that now you're here! She needs you now! Be with her, Show her that you're still the same Lily that she could turn to, where there was no judging and no hatred. Only love and care, make her believe that there are still people who are on her side. You're up for it haina?" I complete, Isra lets me go and looks at me with a determined gaze, gets up from the bed, does a li'l fist pump in the air and goes towards the washroom in the lounge, turns back, okay I know what's coming, I mentally laugh as I nod once motioning her to speak.

(Haina= Isn't it?/Aren't you? it's a Hindi phrase)

"I will stay at the hospital, go meet Nannu and update her with the reports, Khillian must have already done that but she will want to hear things from you.." "You are going to the main mansion tonight" I drop the bomb and she winces and before she starts to argue again I run out of the room. 'Pfft- that was fun..' I compose myself as I move towards the hospital gate, scowl when I realize that I am going to meet the demon that oldie gets on my nerves every time we meet but thanks to oldie's stupid party I was able to meet my little one, my love. 'My Ada'.

I sit in the car and tell my driver the address, I can already see her rambling 'Sai! why are you late? I was worried for my granddaughter, you didn't do anything stupid there, Did you?' Urghh.

Nannu= Aysel's granny/ they call her nannu because she's Aysels nani(maternal grandmother.)
