The doctor's chair turns around and it was kalyan's friend Rajesh. They knew each other since a long time. Kalyan was happy it was rajesh who treated ansh as rajesh knew everything about ansh's illnesses since he was a child.


"Kya hua ansh ko??" Kalyan asks still in panic.

"Calm down kalyan.... He is fine now. Just cool down and i'll explain everything." Rajesh says while giving kalyan water.

"Subah tho theek tha.. roj ki natak kar raha tha. Patha nahi achanak se kya hogaya." Kalyan mutters while sipping water.

"Well as you already know he has chronic hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). So he fainted because of that only. His blood sugar got very low." Rajesh says but kalyan was looking at him horrified.

"What?? But didn't you say fainting happens when the situation gets very bad. Why did his situation got this bad? We have been taking treatment and precautions for him. We never let him skip meals. And i'm sure madhavi would have fed him breakfast and lunch. How did he faint then??? Is his situation so out of control now??" Kalyan says while openly crying now thinking that ansh's situation has degraded so bad.

"Kalyan calm down. It's not your fault. You guys did everything right. It iss... ummm" rajesh hesitates to speak out. This is making the pit in kalyan's pit grow further.

"He has been skipping his medicines kalyan...... I asked him and he said that he did not take his medicines for over 2 weeks now." Rajesh mutters out with great difficulty.

"What?" Kalyan asks in utter shock. He can't believe what he just heard. Ansh has to take medicines everyday to keep his blood sugar levels normal. He has been doing this since a long time. Madhavi and kalyan have stopped monitoring his medicines as they now believe that ansh took those tablets on autopilot now after these many years. But they never thought he would skip them. He can feel his blood pressure rising through his veins, even rajesh noticed it.

"Now he is alright kalyan. I treated him but i have to warn you if this happens again, i can't assure. Well just make sure he takes his meds well. Fainting is indeed a very serious symptom and it should not happen. I'm sure he might have observed other symptoms but didn't inform you guys. I can't blame him cuz he is just a kid. But make sure he takes his meds well from now on." Rajesh while soothing kalyan's hand which he have fisted in anger.

"Can i meet him now?" Kalyan asks now angry at high levels.

"Yes, you can even take him home. He is a kid so he responded well to the treatment and is alright now." Rajesh says while caressing kalyan's back.

"Go and take him home. Get him some ice cream on the way."

"For what? To celebrate him fainting??" Kalyan says irritated.

"Kalyan... take good care of him." Rajesh says and kalyan nods . He leaves the room and dashes towards ansh's room. Madhavi and ishaan see him raging and follow him. Ansh was lying on the bed looking at the walls. He gets startled when the door opens with a thud. Kalyan was glaring at him angrily. Ansh was expecting this reaction ever since he told rajesh that he has been skipping meds. Kalyan goes towards ansh and raises his hand. He stopped his hand midway when he saw ansh closing his eyes scared. He sighs and tells ansh to open his eyes. Just then madhavi and ishaan enter the room.
