Do Saal

Part 22

But as the days stretched on, the uncertainty loomed. CM sat beside KS's bed, her own body exhausted, but her determination unwavering. She wouldn't give up on KS, not after everything they had been through.

Dr. Anita: Chandu, we need to amputate her arm. Septic badta ja raha hai. Aur usse hosh bhi nhi araha hai. Aise hi condition rahi toh uski death ho sakti hai.

Cm: No. I am not going to take that girls arm when I know that I can save it. I just need some time.

Dr. A: U need her to wake up, and not time.

Cm: Just... plz... thoda aur time and trust in me... plz.

Dr. A: I don't want to be harsh on you Chandu, but you are out of ur experience for many years now. And, rn you are thinking as her sister and not her doctor.

Cm: But...

Dr. A: What would you do if there was any other patient on that bed except Ks.

Cm: Take the arm.

Dr. A: You have your answer.

Cm stays quite for 2 mins and closes her eyes as tears start streaming down her face.

Dr A bites her lips and closes the gap btw them, embracing her. Cm breaks down in her arms. Totally broken. Suddenly, Cm sits straight and wiping her tears looks at Dr. A with a smile.

Cm: Ik how to bring her back...

Dr.A: How?

Cm: Haseena and ammi. She loves them, and they love her. Maybe she cannot feel the love from my side, the reason why she isn't responding. Hum dono mai reln bohot kharab ho chuka hai. Pr ammi aur Haseena ne unka reln itna kharab nhi hone diya. I mean, atleast unka merese to aacha hi reln tha.

Dr. A: Well, call them. We need to take steps quickly. Thoda bhi chance hai to dekhte hai.

CM sat beside KS's bed, her heart heavy with dread. She took a deep breath, dialing HM's number. The ringing felt like an eternity, each tone echoing her anxiety. Finally, HM answered, his voice laced with concern.

"CM? Kya hua? Sab theek hai na?"

CM's voice trembled as she fought back tears. "Nahi, Hasu... mujhe kuch kehna hai. It's about Karishma."

HM's heart dropped. "Karu? Kya hua usse?"

"Woh... woh mission ke dauran injured ho gayi hai. The bullet hit her shoulder, and the doctors are saying... they might have to amputate her arm. I am trying to hold everyone off but... I know that they are right, we might lose her if we don't amputate her arm. " CM's voice broke, the weight of the words crashing down like a tidal wave.

A stunned silence hung in the air for a moment. HM's breath hitched, his world spinning. "Nahi... yeh nahi ho sakta! CM didi, kya aap sure hain?"

"Yeh sach hai. Aur woh abhi unconscious hai. Main... main uske saath hoon," CM whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks. She gently put her hand over Ks's cheek and stroked her cheeks.

Ammi, hearing the distress in Hm's voice, rushed over. "Kya hua, beta?" Her heart raced, sensing the gravity of the situation.

"Ammi, Karu is... she's fighting for her life. We might lose her arm, and it's... it's so serious," Hm sobbed, the reality sinking in like a heavy stone.

Ammi's face paled, her hands trembling as she covered her mouth. "Nahi, nahi! Yeh sab nahi ho sakta! Hamari beti..."

HM, his voice cracking, added, "Yeh humne kabhi nahi socha tha. KS itni strong hai, yeh sab kyun ho raha hai?" His own tears fell, mirroring the devastation felt across the phone line.

CM could hear Ammi's sobs, the sound shattering her heart. "I'm so sorry, Ammi. I wish I could do more. I won't leave her side... I can't."

"Hum... hum wahaan aate hain," HM managed to say through his tears. "Humein KS ke paas hona chahiye."

As they spoke, St entered the room, sensing the heavy atmosphere. She looked at HM and Ammi, confused. "Kya hua? Kyu itne pareshan hain aap log?"

Ammi turned to St, her eyes wide and glistening with tears. "St, suno... tumhe himmat se kam lena hoga...KS... she's in serious condition. CM just told us. We might lose her arm."

St felt her heart drop as the news hit her like a physical blow. "Nahi! Yeh nahi ho sakta! KS toh meri jaan hai!" Her voice broke, tears streaming down her cheeks as she grasped the gravity of the situation. "Mujhe usse dekhna hai. Mujhe uske paas jaana hai!"

"St, hum sab uske liye lad rahe hain," HM said, his own tears blurring his vision. "Humein uski himmat dikhani hogi. Woh toh ek soldier hai... woh kabhi haar nhi manti!"

"But... but what if... what if she doesn't make it?" St's voice trembled as she sank to the floor, overwhelmed by fear and sorrow. "Mujhe uski zarurat hai... I love her... wo meri bacchi hai... meri..."

Ammi knelt beside St, wrapping her arms around her. "Mere bachche, hum sab milkar pray karte hain. Hamari KS bahut strong hai. Usne hume kabhi haarne nhi diya, aur na hi aaj haarne degi."

CM listened, her heart shattering as she imagined KS fighting alone. "I promise, I won't let her down. We'll fight for her... together."

The three of them held each other tightly, tears flowing freely, their hearts aching as they faced the uncertainty ahead, united in their love for KS, determined to see her through the darkest moment of her life.

Hm, Ammi and St take the next flight and come over to Mumbai. St is crying so hard, she is uncontrollable by anyone. Ammi is just lost in her thoughts and Hm doesn't know to handle all this.

They land in Mumbai and go straight to the hospital.
