As Shubman was escorted into the surgery room, a heavy silence settled over the waiting room where Naina and Shubman's family anxiously awaited news of his procedure. Each passing moment felt like an eternity, filled with a sense of apprehension and uncertainty.

Shahneel glanced at Naina, her expression filled with concern. "How are you holding up, Naina?" she asked softly, her voice laced with empathy.

Naina forced a small smile, though her eyes betrayed the worry that weighed heavily on her heart. "I'm trying to stay strong," she admitted, her voice trembling slightly. "But I can't help but feel anxious. Shubman means everything to me, and the thought of him undergoing surgery..." She trailed off, unable to voice her fears aloud.

Shahneel reached out, gently placing a comforting hand on Naina's shoulder. "I understand," she said softly, her voice filled with understanding. "But we have to believe that everything will be okay. Shubman is strong, and he has an entire team of doctors doing everything they can to help him."

Naina nodded, grateful for Shahneel's words of reassurance. "Thank you, Shahneel," she murmured, her voice filled with gratitude.

As they waited together in the quiet of the hospital corridor, their thoughts turned to Shubman, their hearts united in a shared hope for his recovery. And as the minutes stretched into hours, they clung to the belief that love and faith would guide them through the darkness, leading Shubman back to them safe and sound.

Shahneel glanced at Naina, her expression serious yet tinged with a hint of warmth. "Naina, there's something I need to tell you," she began, her voice gentle yet firm.

Naina's brow furrowed with curiosity as she turned her attention to Shubman's sister. "What is it, Shahneel?" she asked, her tone laced with anticipation.

Taking a deep breath, Shahneel continued, her gaze steady as she delivered the news. "The engagement party is scheduled for two months from now, and the wedding will follow three months after that," she revealed, her words weighted with significance.

Naina's eyes widened in surprise at the announcement, her mind reeling with the sudden realization of the timeline that lay ahead. "Two months... three months..." she echoed softly, the reality of the situation sinking in.

Shahneel reached out, gently squeezing Naina's hand in a gesture of support. "I know it's a lot to take in, Naina," she said softly, her voice filled with empathy. "But we're all here for you, every step of the way."

Naina nodded slowly, her thoughts swirling with a mixture of emotions. "Thank you, Shahneel," she murmured, her voice filled with gratitude. "I appreciate your honesty."

As they stood together in the quiet of the hospital corridor, Naina and Shahneel found solace in their shared understanding and unwavering support for one another. And as they faced the challenges that lay ahead, they knew that their bond would only grow stronger with each passing day, guiding them through the uncertainties of the future with courage and grace.

As they waited outside the hospital room, time seemed to stretch on endlessly, each passing minute feeling like an eternity. The soft hum of conversation filled the air as Naina and Shubman's family members exchanged nervous glances and whispered words of encouragement.

Naina's heart pounded with anxiety, her thoughts consumed by worry for Shubman's well-being. She longed for the reassurance of his presence, her fingers fidgeting nervously as she clung to the hope of his safe return.

Beside her, Shahneel offered a comforting presence, her calm demeanor a source of strength amidst the tension that hung heavy in the air. Together, they stood united in their shared concern for Shubman, their silent vigil a testament to the depth of their love and devotion.
