My Sole Companion

Chapter - 13

Akshat is now outside Mitu's room waiting for the doctors to come and tell him about Mitu.
He is worried about her. He saw this happen for the first time. His body is sweating like anything.
He called Roohi and told her about Mitu.
He is standing outside the room and tapping his feet on the ground.

Akshat........ He heard a stammering voice.

Akshat, what happened to Mitu..... asked Roohi running towards him.
Bhabhi, Rajat....... She suddenly started breathing heavily. I don't know what to do, so I called the doctors and now they are inside for more than an hour. I'm not having a good feeling about this.

Have you called Kabir?....... asked Rajat.

No bhai..... Not now. He might be driving. He will be here by tomorrow. I don't think it's the right time to call him.

Yes, Akshat is right Rajat...... I will call him tomorrow morning.......... said Roohi.

Rajat...... Mitu will be fine. Right?........ asked Akshat.

She will. She is a strong enough to bear this pain of hers. Don't worry.

The door of Mitu's room opens and it's 2 in the morning.

The doctors came out, before the doctors could say anything.
Akshat began to question them like a bullet.
How is she doctor? Why did she started shivering all of a sudden? Is she alright. Can I meet her?

Calm down Mr.Sinha, she is perfectly fine. This happens some times when the patient try to gain consciousness. This is normal. She is out of danger now.
But we have given her medicines, because of that she will wake up after 24 hours. This will help her regain her strength to recover.

She..... She woke up. You mean she is fine.... Asked Akshat with a little smile on his face.
Yes, she is fine.
Now, you guys can take a rest. She will wake tomorrow........ said the doctors.

After the doctors left. Akshat hugged Rajat and started crying all his fears, all his insecurities went away. They were tears of happiness.
Now she will be completely fine. I'll take care of him Rajat.
Bhabhi...... She is fine.

Yes Akshat, I know you will take good care of her.
Let's wait for her to gain consciousness and then we will informe uncle aunty about this.

Bhabhi you guys should leave. I'm fine now. And I'm here to take care of Mitu.

Yes, he is right Roohi we should leave. I'll bring you here tomorrow. I'll informe Chachi chachu about this in the morning.

Akshat entered the room, he went near Mitu, kisses her forehead and keep on looking at her face till morning.
He was sleepless this time. Now he knows that she will wake up within 24 hours and he don't want to leave her even for a second.

The next morning:
