Abhimanyu's heart was racing as he called Rajveer, worried about Siya. The phone rang twice before Rajveer answered, sounding calm but tired.

"Abhimanyu?" Rajveer said, trying to hide his worry. "Bhai, how's Siya? Is she okay?" Abhimanyu asked, panic in his voice.

Rajveer took a deep breath and looked toward Siya's room where Dhruv and Tanya were still sitting with her. "She's stable now. The doctors said she's out of immediate danger." Abhimanyu let out a relieved breath. "Thank God. I'm on my way to the hospital right now."

"Hold on, Abhimanyu," Rajveer said quickly. "There's no need to come here right now." Abhimanyu was confused. "What do you mean? I need to be there with her."

Rajveer tried to find the right words. "Listen, Siya's going to be discharged soon. The doctors just want her to rest, and we can take care of her back at the hotel."

"Discharged? Already?" Abhimanyu asked, shocked.

"Yeah, it's just a precaution. They want her to rest in a more comfortable place," Rajveer said, lying smoothly. "You should go back to the hotel with Alia. We'll bring Siya there once she's discharged."

"But—" Abhimanyu started, but Rajveer cut him off. "Trust me, Abhimanyu. This is what's best for Siya right now. Ma, Papa, and Karan Uncle will be at the hotel soon too. You should be there to help get things ready for her."

Abhimanyu was hesitant, but finally agreed, though he didn't sound happy about it. "Okay, but you have to call me the second you leave the hospital, alright?" "I will," Rajveer promised, feeling a bit better. "I'll keep you updated."

Abhimanyu sighed, still uneasy. "Alright. I'll go with Alia. Take care of Siya, Bhai." "I will," Rajveer said, feeling guilty but relieved. "See you soon."

After the call ended, Rajveer felt bad for lying, but he couldn't let Abhimanyu come to the hospital.

In the car, Siya felt a mix of emotions. She had expected Abhimanyu to be there with her, holding her hand, making her feel better. But he wasn't. Now, as they were heading to the hotel, his absence felt heavy in her heart.

Tanya was sitting next to her, holding her hand, while Rajveer drove. Dhruv, sitting in the front seat, turned around and spoke gently to Siya.

"Siya, you have a severe peanut allergy. You really need to be careful about what you eat. Always double-check." Tanya nodded, her voice gentle but firm. "He's right, Siya. We almost lost you today. Please be more careful from now on."

Rajveer gripped the steering wheel tighter, his eyes briefly glistening with unshed tears. He quickly wiped them away, focusing back on the road.

Siya felt a lump in her throat, realizing just how serious the situation had been. "I will, I promise," she whispered softly.
