~FLASHBACK~ A year ago

It was a normal day in the Sinha house, they were all eating breakfast together at the dining table. Their parents were getting ready to go to a business event, while they stayed home.

"Ma, Baba when are you guys going to come back? " Ashni asked

"We should be back by tonight baccha," Suraj said to his daughter

"Suraj Chalo, I found my purse let's get going we can't be late!" Anamika yelled

Suraj got up from his seat while cleaning himself up with a napkin. He went towards Ashni and kissed her forehead.

"Bye princess I'll see you tonight," He said as he made his way towards his wife.

"Bye Baba and Ma" Ashni replied and went and gave them a tight hug.

"Be good for your brothers okay?" Said Anamika as she let go and looked at Ashni's face her her palms.

"Hey, I am always good they are the ones bothering me!" Ashni exclaimed with a pout.

"Not true" Said Advait as he hugged his mom and said bye.

"Everyone needs to behave, now take good care of my princess we will get going" Said Suraj

"Bye Ma Bye dad," Said Yash walking with everyone towards the front of the house.

"Bye see you tonight," Abhimanyu said as he waved them goodbye.

They got into the car and waved the kids goodbye, Unknown of what was going to happen next.

A few Hours Later...

The siblings were playing games in the living room, well Yash was on his phone while the others were playing.

"Look Dada they are cheating " Ashni Yelled

"No Bhai I never cheated," Advait says with a smirk on his face.

"You do need to stop fighting" Abhimanyu scolded as the phone rang.

"Listen to Abhi he is right now I'll be right back I going to answer the phone," Yash said as he got up to answer the phone. It was the hospital informing him about the accident with their parents that took place as they were going to the event.

Yash's POV

The world around me felt like it froze when the person on the phone told me about the accident. I didn't know what I would tell my siblings, or how I would tell them because I couldn't even process what was going on. I walked into the living room with my controlled tears.

"Abhi come here" I spoke out. He looked up and saw the worry on my face then rushed to get to me.

"What happened bhaiya why are you so stressed?" He said in a hushed tone not wanting the kids to listen.

"Mommy and Da-d-d got into an a-accident," I said not being able to form the sentence. I saw how his face dropped andnow I was just thinking about how we tell Ashni and Advait.

"Ar-re they o-okay," he asked and at the moment I had no answer.

"I don't know but we need to get to the hospital and go get the car," I said as sternly as I could at the moment.

He ran outside to get the care started and I walked over to the living room, internally preparing myself to tell them.

"Ashni, Advait" I spoke out in a soft tone.

"Haan, Dada" Ashi Spoke out still focused on the game they were playing.

"What happened Bhai ap itne tense kyu ho?" He said with concern written all over his face. At the same time, Ashni looked up with confusion.

"Please, mere baat carefully suno, and try to stay calm," I said

"What's going on you are scaring us!" Ashni exclaimed

"Ma and Baba ka accident ho gaya but I don't know their condition, we have to go to the hospital right now" I explained and saw their faces drop in fear.

"Vo theek hain na" Advait asked as his eyes began to tear. Looking over I saw Ashni starting to cry. I pulled her into a hug that not only her but I needed equally as much.

"Let's go to the hospital, it's okay, it will be okay," I said trying to coax them having no idea what was going on in the hospital.

We all went out, finding Abhi sitting in the car. Once we settled in Abhi started racing to the hospital. I could see Abhi trying to stay put together, his eyes were red from the burning tears, and his hard grip on the wheel. Through my peripheral vision, I could see Advait hugging Ashni as she cried. That made me want to break even more but I knew that I had to be the one to stay strong, because that's what my parent would have wanted.

When we arrived at the hospital, everyone rushed out towards the emergency ward. I went straight to a nurse telling her our parent's names and she directed us to the ward. There I saw a doctor coming out of the room.

"Doctor, that's our dad. Please tell us is he okay, is our mom?" I asked worryingly.

"I am not going to lie to you but he is in critical condition, the accident was very dangerous and your mom is in surgery currently, " He told us with sympathy lining every word. I heard Ashni breaking down into a sob, as my brothers also started to cry. I went and hugged them all as we cried together and prayed that our parents would be okay soon.

A few minutes went by as we all broke apart, making our way to the hospital seats in front of the OT and our dad's room. I pulled Ashni into my lap hugging her, and on the other hand, Abhi tried to comfort Advait.

"Dada they'll be-e okay na" I looked down at her as she spoke out.

"I really hope so, be a strong girl for me okay we can get through this," I told her. I didn't want her to lose hope or have too much. I wanted to say that everything would be back to normal but I couldn't. All my life I have tried to give everything to my siblings, this time nothing was in my hands and I hated it.

Later in the night... (Yash's Pov)

My eyes were drooping while I tried to stay awake. We were waiting to hear something about our mom or dad. Whenever Abhi tried to ask the nurses about them they kept saying that they couldn't say anything at the moment, because the doctor was still working on them.

Ashni was sleeping on my lap, and Advait had his head on Abhi's shoulder. They had stayed awake with me the whole time waiting on news. Just then I saw a doctor coming out of the OT. I got up in a hurry startling Ashni awake and the others. I carried her with me as I ran up to him, my brothers followed behind me as well.

"Doctor was the surgery successful" I asked at the same time putting Ashni down from my arms.

"I'm sorry, we couldn't save her," He said

My siblings started sobbing, I hugged Ashni as tight as possible. My own tears came pouring down my face. I gathered the courage to ask about our dad, and then he revealed the news that he was in a coma and in critical condition. Just thenIt felt like the world came crashing down. We all broke down in tears, I could see the doctors and nurses looking at us with sympathy and pity. None of us knew what to do next, everything happened so fast and unknowingly.
