The hospital room buzzed with activity as Karishma was laying on the bed, her face pale but composed while Haseena was standing by her side, her urgency palpable as she called out for the doctor.

"Doctor! Please, come quickly! Her wound needs attention!", Haseena’s voice was edged with panic, her eyes fixed on Karishma's face.

Doctor entered the room and quickly assessed her injury. After a thorough examination, he looked at Haseena with a reassuring smile and explained, "Luckily, there's nothing to be worried about. We’ll clean the wound, give her stitches, and she’ll be fine. She just needs to avoid straining it."

Haseena nodded in relief and said, "Thank you, Doctor. Please, do whatever you need to do."

Meanwhile Johan was standing outside the room. As the doctor began to clean Karishma’s wound, Haseena’s phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Mr. Singh. Despite the situation, she couldn't ignore the call.

"Karishma, I have to take this call. It’s important...", said Haseena in an apologetic tone.

Karishma managed a faint smile and reassured her, "It's okay, Haseena. I am fine. Go ahead."

Haseena stepped out of the room, trying to find a spot with better network. The signal was weak which forced her to move further down the corridor.

Inside the room, the doctor finished his work. "Just take it easy and avoid using this hand too much.", he advised Karishma.

"Thank you, Doctor.", said karishma gratefully as she got up from the bed.

She stepped out of the room and saw Johan standing so she asked, "Haseena kaha hai?"

"Wo Haseena Mam corridor ke us taraf gayi hai call pe baat krte hue...", Johan replied, pointing in the direction Haseena had gone.

"Acha, chalo tab tak hamdono reception pe jakr formalities puri kar lete hai!",  Karishma suggested.

As they started walking towards the reception, an old man out of nowhere appeared from around the corner, moving unsteadily. He bumped into Karishma, stumbling and falling to the floor with a pained wince. His body was frail, almost skeletal, and his head and half of his face were wrapped in bandages.

Johan immediately sprang into action, helping the old man to his feet. A nurse, who seemed to be responsible for the old man, hurried over.

"I'm so sorry!", the nurse exclaimed, her face flushed with concern.

Karishma turned to the nurse, concern etched on her face. "Is he alright? What happened to him?"

The nurse sighed, her expression sympathetic. "Ye yaha kuch dino se hai, shayad koi accident hua tha inka, uske wajah se kaafi gehre ghav hue h inhe. Aur itne dino mein koi family bhi nhi aayi h inka haal lene, we're just doing our best to take care of him."

Karishma’s eyes softened with empathy. She was about to say something when the old man suddenly fainted in Johan's arms. Panic ensued, and they quickly rushed him to the emergency room.

A while later, Haseena returned to the room only to find it empty. Worry creased her brow as she inquired about their whereabouts and learned they had gone to the emergency room with an old man.

She hurried to the emergency room, her heart pounding. She burst through the door, her eyes scanning for Karishma. "Karishma, are you okay? How's your wound? Is it hurting?", her asked in a voice mixed with panic and concern.

Karishma looked up from where she stood by the old man's bed, a calming presence amidst the chaos. "Haseena, main theek hu", she reassured in a gentle tone.
