" Situation critical hai , blood bahut loss hua hai , sorry to inform lekin bahut mushkil hi hai. Goli heart ke bahut pass lagi hai " She said.

Manik's world crashes down around him as he struggles to comprehend the nurse's words.Manik's mind races with terrifying thoughts, making his heart pound in his chest.Manik's memories of his brother overwhelm him, making his grief even more unbearable.

Manik stood there thinking all this when he heard being called he turned towards the voice only to find his mother.

She comes near him to hug him but he moved back.That shocked her. Did she lost her son again ? Again after 3 years?.

" Vo mere kapde gande hai n isliye" Manik says, face still emotionless.

" Sorry baccha " She spoke with her head down.

" Sorry? Kyu ? " Manik asked.

" Jo aaj hua uske liye , pata nhi kyu maa samjhti hi nhi hai " She says as she thought Manik was sad due to that.

" Usme aapki galti nhi hai , aap kyu sorry bol rahe ho ? Aur nan.. I mean Mrs. Rajput kaha hai ?" Manik asked as he noticed that his mother left with her but returned alone.

"Unhe ghar hi rehne ko bola hai , hospital hai sab nhi reh sakte n"
She explains.

" Ooo" Manik says.

" Tu thik hai n baccha ? " Pallavi says as she tried putting her hand on his shoulder but he dodged it.

She looks at Manik hurt. Why was he reacting like this ? The fear of losing her son was coming to her mind again and again.

" Meri shirt Gandi hai , mat chuiye aap bhi gandi ho jayegi " Manik said.

" Tujhe sach me lagta hai ye matter karta hai ? " Pallavi says looking at Manik with love.

" Kya matter karta hai ? " Aarav says as he enters the corridor.

" Kuch bhi nhi " Manik replied before moving towards Rihaan who was coming with Akshara.

" Sirph ek hi hath pe hai aur itni hi hai " Akshara informed.

Manik looked at Rihaan for confirmation as he knows that Rihaan was very bad at hiding things from him.

" Treat kar diya hai , kuch dino me thik ho jayega. Chhote gehri nhi thi isliye marks nhi honge " Akshara says.

" Thankyou so much bh-- di " Rihaan says.

Akshara hugs him and kisses him on his forehead before saying," bhabhi bula sakte ho baccha , aur agli baar se chize chupana mat samjhe ? "

Akshara was angry as hell since she got to know he was beaten by Sharam. She still didn't know the reason but any reason won't justify this.

" Samjh gaya bhabhi " Rihaan says.

" Ye bhai ke liye hai ? " Aarav asked turning everyones attention to the lunchbox that Pallavi held.

" Ha , bhar ka khana safe nhi hai " She said as she opened the box.

" Lekin hospital me without peanuts wale food mil jate " Aakshat says.

" Can't trust them. Mannu ko severe allergy hai , can't risk it " Anay said.

" Aa baccha " Pallavi says looking at Manik.

" Bhook nhi mujhe , kittu tu khale " Manik says politely.

" Mai aur kittu canteen me kha lenge Mannu, tum kha lo " Akshara says.

" Kittu bhi allergic hai usse khila do, mujhe bilkul bhi bhook nhi hai " Manik says looking at the box. It was for one person only.

" Maf karna baccha mujhe pata nhi tha nhi tuh dono ke liye leti aati " Pallavi says feeling guilty.
