"Aaram se Shivaay" Om gently held Shivaay's back of the head as he made him comfortable on his bed.
Seeing Shivaay let out a wince, Om became conscious. "Sorry"
"No problem. Kai baar aisa ho jaata hai. Tension mat le"
Once Shivaay was okay, Om asked, "Shivaay, you sure about your decision na? I just don't want bhabhi to go through any more stress. She has already suffered enough when you were injured"
"Om, you know, sometimes to get rid of the fear forever, zakhm ko kuredna padta hai. To heal, it is necessary to touch it, hain na?"
"Ha, but dard toh hota hi hain na. And I say from personal experience, agar hum ussey kam kar sake, toh zarur karna chahiye, possibly without inflicting more pain"
"Don't worry Om, trust your bhai" Shivaay smiled a reassuring one and Om relaxed.
"I do. Chalta hu. Take care" Om patted Shivaay's shoulder and went out.
On the way, he bumped into Annika who had Shivaay's reports and medicines in her hand.
"Om, nikal rahe ho?"
"Yes bhabhi. Actually, Rudra has gone to the police station to help Bhavya and Mr. Oberoi in tackling the matter of Daksh" He spoke slowly to not tread on unknown waters and disturb his bhabhi.
"Tackle matlab? He was already arrested na?" She questioned fearfully and he held Annika's shoulders.
"Yes, they just needed to complete some formalities and decide how is he going to be handled. That's all. Nothing too serious. We just want to ensure that he is properly taken care of. Aap please tension mat lijiye. You concentrate on yourself and Shivaay"
"But what if he tries to harm Shivaay again?"
"Bhabhi, bhabhi, please calm down" Seeing her get hyper, he tried to compose her. "Don't get such negative thoughts in your mind. Kuch bhi nahi hoga, na aapko aur naahi Shivaay ko. Right now, our priority is Shivaay and you. Hum sab aapke saath hai"
Annika nodded her head, though her fear lingered. But choosing not to express it in front of Om and worrying him, she was going to Shivaay's room when she heard him call out.
"Anni" Getting scared, she rushed to the room followed by Om.
"What happened Shivaay? Is it paining somewhere? Are you feeling nauseous? Are your breaths getting shallow? Tell me"
"Shaant, meri Rajdhani Mail" She shut her mouth hearing him chuckle as he said those words. Om, also was trying to stifle his laugh and he shut up seeing Annika glare at him.
"Boliye" She got irritated, while keeping his things on the stand beside his bed.
"The nurse who is supposed to do my dressing everyday is outside. She tried ringing the bell but apparently it isn't working. Galti se humse band ho gayi hogi. Will you please get her in?"
"I will go" Om said.
He opened the door to see a petite woman, with waist length dark brown locks, vibrant, big eyes, the most beautiful smile and...
"Hi, I am here for Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi" The woman spoke in her melodious voice bringing Om out of his thoughts. Composing himself, he cleared his throat.
"You are at the right place"
"Yes,I am aware. I pretty much know the address. Can I come in?"
