Never Gonna Leave You

15. Is it the end?

Last few days have been so difficult for Mahi. He had to do everything in his power to save Virat's career. But he didn't know that he was gonna pay huge price for it.

He still remembered how Virat had requested him to never do this.

'Mahi bhai, please Aap meko apne aap se dur kabhi mat karna, meko acha nahi lagta'

'Cheeku kaisi baatein kar raha hai! Why will I do something like this? I promise I will always be with you! Forever'

But he could not keep that promise. He had successfully pushed him away hurting him in worst possible way.

'I am sorry MS' doctor said.

Hearing that Mahi's knees gave up and he collapsed on the floor. The strong demeanour he had kept all these days finally broke.

Yuvi rushed to him but Mahi had already fell unconscious. They carried him on stretcher and shifted him to other room.

'Doctor what do u mean? Is he okay? Is he..' Rohit asked sobbing hard seeing Mahi like that and hearing that from the doctor.

'Please say he is gonna be okay' bhuvi said.

'I am sorry, We are trying our best. He is not responding to our treatment. Whatever substance was injected has made him weak. And on top of that he has lost lot of blood. He is really critical' doctor said and left from there.

Rohit stood at the door and watched Virat from the small space. He looked so weak and pale.

Bhuvi kept his hand on Rohit's shoulder to which Rohit hugged him tightly.

'He is gonna be okay Ro, he is our Virat, fighter! He is gonna fight for us. He knows we are waiting for him. He will not do this to us' bhuvi rubbed his back to console himself and Rohit.

'Pakka?' Rohit asked like a baby who needs assurance.

'Pakka' bhuvi said believing it.

'Let's go see Mahi bhai till we can meet Virat' bhuvi said dragging Ro with him. Because he knew staying there will make it worse.

'He is been exerting himself without proper food and rest, which has taken toll on him' doctor said.

Yuvi sat beside him when Rohit and Bhuvi entered the room.

'Kya hua, how is Cheeku? He is okay right?' Yuvi asked worriedly.

'He is critical doctor ne bola he is not responding to the treatment' bhuvi said sadly.

Rohit went to Mahi's other side and sat beside him. He held his hand.

'Bhai dekho na aapka Cheeku kaise Mujhe aur aapko pareshaan kar raha hai, usko bolo pls aise na Kare! Aap bhi uske team mai chale Gaye now u both are troubling me! U both always do this! Don't do this now, please bhai' he said sobbing hard.

'Ro, don't worry' Yuvi said even if he was scared to his wits.

'Yuvi pa, mai Vi ke paas ja raha hu' Rohit said and went there.

Rohit went in the room and saw his best friend laying there with all the machines attached to his body. He sat beside him and held his hand delicately not wanting to hurt him.

'Vi, u gave me the clues and I reached to you. Now u pay me back by getting up, please Vi! Tu jo bolega mai karunga! Anything, please just open your eyes for me. So that we can go on that street side food treat again. U know I love food but it tastes delicious only when i have it with you. Whether it is your gas-phus or my junk food! U know Mahi bhai he is unconscious in the other room, he could not handle it Vi! Just imagine him being weak like this. He is worried for you! Please get up Vi otherwise I will die, I will never be able to forgive myself! Please uth ja Vi!' Saying this Rohit sobbed badly.
