She was just breathing, But He made her live

Part 17

INT. Car - Night

The night air was tense, filled with the echoes of gunshots that had just pierced the quiet. The car sped through dimly lit streets, the only sound now the urgent panting and worried murmurs of its passengers.

Tanya: (anxious)
Kartik, hurry! Where's the nearest hospital?

Kartik's grip on the wheel tightened, his knuckles turning white. The hospital wasn't far, but every second felt like an eternity.

Shravan: (supportive)
Naira, you're going to be okay. Stay with us.

Naira's breaths were shallow, her eyes heavy with exhaustion, but determination shone through. She clung to her gun, refusing to give in to the pain.

Kartik: (desperate)
Naira, please, we're almost there. Just hold on.

Naira managed a weak nod, her eyes locking with Kartik's for a fleeting moment. There was a profound understanding between them, an unspoken acknowledgment of their feelings.

INT. Hospital Waiting Room - Night

They burst through the hospital doors, medical staff rushing to their aid. Naira was whisked away on a gurney, her blood-stained hand still tightly bound with Kartik's tie.

Shravan: (worried)
They'll take care of her, Kartik. She's a fighter.

Kartik could hardly sit still, his mind flooded with fear and concern. Tanya placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Tanya: (softly)
She's strong, Kartik. And she has you.

Hours felt like days as they waited in the sterile, fluorescent-lit waiting room. The minutes crawled by, each one an eternity. Kartik's anxiety was palpable.

Kartik: (whispering to himself)
Please, Naira, be okay.

The memory of Naira's smile haunted him, the words she almost spoke hung in the air like a promise. He was willing her to pull through, to give their unspoken love a chance to bloom.

INT. Hospital Corridor - Night

Finally, a doctor emerged from the emergency room, her face grave but not without a glimmer of hope.

Doctor: (softly)
She's stable now, but it was touch and go for a while. She's a strong one.

Kartik, Shravan, and Tanya let out a collective sigh of relief, gratitude washing over them.

Shravan: (grateful)
Thank you, doctor. Can we see her?

Doctor: (nodding)
Of course. She's in room 302.

The trio made their way to Naira's room, their steps hesitant but filled with a newfound resolve. They were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, as long as they were together.

INT. Hospital Room - Night

Naira lay in the hospital bed, her face pale against the stark white sheets. She looked fragile, but the determination in her eyes hadn't waned.

Kartik: (whispering)
Naira, you made it. I knew you would.

Naira managed a faint smile, and Kartik reached for her unbandaged hand, his fingers gently interlocking with hers.

Kartik: (whispering)
You had me worried there.

Naira: (softly)
Sorry.

Tanya: (teary-eyed)
You're a warrior, Naira.

Shravan: (with a reassuring smile)
We're a team, after all.

Together, they faced the night that had tested their limits, and in that hospital room, amidst the beeping monitors and sterile smell, the unspoken words of love hung in the air, waiting to be embraced when the time was right.

As they sat by Naira's bedside, Kartik's gaze never left her. He was still in the same blood-stained clothes from when he'd carried her to safety. His face was etched with worry, but there was something more - a longing, an unspoken desire that couldn't be ignored any longer.

Kartik: (voice trembling)
Naira, I need to tell you something.

Naira turned her gaze to him, her eyes filled with curiosity and warmth.

Kartik: (taking a deep breath)
Ever since I met you, my life has changed in ways I couldn't have imagined. You're strong, fierce, and yet, there's a vulnerability in you that's incredibly beautiful. I've watched you fight, not just tonight but every day, and I can't help but admire you.

Naira's heart raced as she listened to Kartik's confession. Her eyes welled with tears, but they were tears of overwhelming emotion.

Kartik: (continuing)
And, Naira, there's something else. Something I realized tonight when I saw you covered in blood, fighting for your life. I... I love you, Naira. I love you more than I ever thought possible.

Naira's eyes sparkled with unshed tears, and her lips curled into a smile despite the pain coursing through her.

Naira: (softly)
Kartik, I... I love you too. I have for a long time.

With those words, a weight seemed to lift from Kartik's shoulders, and an incredible sense of relief washed over him. He leaned in, his lips meeting Naira's in a tender kiss, sealing their unspoken love with a promise of a brighter, shared future.

As they kissed, the room seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them lost in the depth of their newfound love, a love forged amidst chaos and danger but destined to endure through it all.
