Author's Note - It's bonus chapter time. Also guys I don't have my knowledge on panic attacks or any medical condition so whatever I mentioned in this story is fictional. I am not equipped with medical knowledge, it's just my imagination. Also I will give a trigger warning when it starts and ends, so you guys can avoid it if it is something that triggers you. Take care of yourself. Let's start shall we!!
Khushi was pacing the hallways of the hospital worriedly. She called the manager of the ArK but she doesn't want to let go of this opportunity as this is the only way for her to meet her brothers. She looked in the room where the man is through the glass door. "Excuse me who are you and why are you standing in front of my father's room?" A guy in his mid twenties asked her kind of rudely.
"He is your father right?" she pointed towards Dev who was lying unconsciously on the bed and the doctors were checking him. "Yes" Dhruv replied, he doesn't know why this girl is wasting his time. "So Mister why didn't you take care of him huh? Why did you leave him alone? And instead of being grateful, you are being rude to me. And wait a minute weren't you the one who i called?" she asked him as the voice on the call was quite similar. "Please excuse my brother, we are really thankful for what you did. If you weren't there at that point I don't know what would have happened to papa!" A guy in his late twenties thanked her.
Daivik was glaring at Dhruv for being so ungrateful. "It's fine, it was my duty. Anyways please take care of him. He looks very weak and-" "Daivik Dhruv Devansh Devanshi yaha sab kya hua?" Kartik said as soon as he saw them. "Wo Bhai dad subah subah kahi chale gye the. Phir hume call aya ki he has fainted and was taken to hospital toh we came here" Devansh told all of them. "I'll take my leave then. I have to attend a meeting and I'm getting late" Khushi told Daivik as she started leaving.
But before she could leave Aarvi saw her. "Khushi tum yaha kya krrhi ho? Shlok called me and told there was an emergency? Everything alright?" Aarvi asked her. As soon as those words came out of Aarvi's mouth, everyone stopped doing whatever they were doing. Kartik was staring at her with emotions that Khushi couldn't decipher. Kavin stiffened and Kairav; he had tears pooling out of his eyes. Even the Grover siblings couldn't believe this was the Khushi. Daivik was staring at the girl intently, now he can see similarities between her and Roy Kapoor brothers. Dhruv felt guilty for being so rude to her. Devansh and Devanshi were just shocked.
Khushi felt really uncomfortable with all the attention she was getting. She saw three men on whom her eyes landed. One had unreadable emotions in his eyes; the other was emotionless and the third one was crying. But why? And then it struck her. Oh god these are her brothers. No no she wasn't ready to meet them this soon. She can't do this. She started panicking and hyperventilating. Aarvi saw this and held her. She could see the girl was getting overwhelmed and this is what she feared.
Trigger Warning Starts
"I have to leave, I have to leave. Mujhe ghr jana hai" she muttered as she started scrambling. This broke the thoughts of Grover siblings. Daivik saw the girl um Khushi was getting restless and she was on the verge of a panic attack. "Kartik, Kavin and Kairav let's go somewhere and sit down" he suggested. The brothers were still in their head. Suddenly they heard a piercing scream. It was Khushi.
"MUM I NEED TO LEAVE I NEED MUM" she screamed as she started having a panic attack. It was getting harder and harder for her to breath. She started scratching her neck. Suddenly she felt that she was lifted by someone. She was engulfed in a warm yet protective embrace. Kavin pulled Khushi on his lap as he could see she was having a panic attack. He gently took her right hand and put it on his chest. "Feel my heart beat and try to match them with your breathing. Can you do that?" he asked her gently. She gave him a small nod.
