"Riya!" Raj got scared seeing Riya crying like this and he went towards her quickly. Raj sat on his knees in front of her and taking her face between his hands he turned her face upwards.

Riya's tears were not stopping. Her eyes had become red due to continuous tears. Seeing her crying like this, Raj smiled a little and while wiping her tears with his thumb, he hugged her.

Riya hugged Raj tightly and continued to cry. "I did it, Raj! I did it! I finally saved my sister's life." Riya said sobbing. Raj was stunned to know that the person whose operation he was doing a while ago was none other than Riya's sister. Now Raj was able to understand Riya's condition more.

When Raj wiped her tears, Riya hugged him more tightly and hid her face in his chest.

This act of Riya gave Raj goosebumps. But he did not say anything to Riya and kept caressing her head silently until she stopped crying. After some time, Riya stopped crying and when she looked ahead, Raj was smiling at her.

Riya looked towards herself and finally realized that she was in her junior's arms. And that too so close that she could hear Raj's heartbeat. Riya bit her lips in embarrassment and backed away from him. Riya noticed that Raj's heart was beating much faster than normal.

When Riya's eyes met Raj's, both of them immediately looked away from each other and started looking in the other direction. The nurse and ward boy present there were smiling at her. He took care of the rest of the things and in no time, he was ready to shift Nityaa to another room.

"Doctor! You can rest now if you want." said a nurse present there and Riya nodded in affirmative. Raj stood up and extended his hand towards Riya. Riya held his hand without making eye contact with him and stood up. 

Riya went to Nitya and caressed her cheeks. Tears started welling up in her eyes again but she controlled herself and stepped back after giving a light kiss on Nitya's forehead.

"Whoever did this to you, his death is written by the hand of the one who saved everyone's life!" Riya said clenching her fist tightly and walked out of the OT. Raj saw anger in her eyes and voice which seemed quite dangerous.

Raj also left the OT and ran after her. As soon as he came out of the OT, Raj saw Riya walking angrily towards Daksh. Daksh was standing some distance away from the OT, his clothes were stained with blood.

A nurse in front of him was explaining something to him and Daksh was just nodding his head. There were tears in his eyes and the dried marks of tears on his cheeks clearly showed that he had cried a lot.

When Raj and Riya went to them, they heard the conversation between the nurse and Daksh. "You have brought the patient here, so you will have to complete all his formalities. Here is the bill and there are some medicines which you will have to get from outside, so please ask for them quickly." On hearing the nurse's words, Daksh took the bill and the prescription from her hand.

"I will pay the bill right now! And give me some time, I will go and get these medicines too!" Daksh said softly in a nervous voice. "How is Nitya?" Daksh asked raising his head.

"The operation is over and in a short while she will be shifted to another room, then you can meet her." After listening to the nurse, the tension on Daksh's face reduces and a smile appears on his face in place of that tension.
