Doctor's words bring a gush of relief through everyone knowing Rajveer was okay now, just his wounds need time to heal. His parents was finally eased of the tension and hug each other in joy. Their only son was finally out of danger, and they caress his head lovingly.
"Bhagwan tera lakh lakh shukriya!", Rajni thank the god.
"Beta are you okay? Do you need something ...." Concern rush through Veer as Rajveer's face squinted with a bit discomfort.
Rajveer nods simply to his answer, and fixes the pillow behind his back with the doctor's help.
"You are still weak, so don't exert yourself too much", the doctor advises making his parents alert for him. "Don't worry we'll take extra care of it", they add monotonously.
"Okay then, It'll take leave", doctor murmurs. "You can give him something light to eat, and then give these medicines. These are a bit high dosage, so it can make him fall into a deep sleep", he informs making Rajni's forehead wrinkle.
"Oh don't worry when he wakes up he will feel better", he adds.
Veer walks the doctor out while Rajni chirps with a smile, as she goes to bring food for her son.

Rajveer finishes the soup, as his mom carries a smile with a fine line of concern on her forehead.
"Mom, I'm fine now... Stop worrying so much", he hiss as a lone tear escapes the corner of her eyes.
"I know, but...", she closes her eyes taking a deep breath. "My heart sank into the pit of my stomach, seeing you coated in blood", tears freely flowed down her eyes. " That sight of yours is hard to shake off. I can't even imagine what I would have done if someth..", she pauses with a heavy sigh.
Veer looks away as his eyes feel moist as well, recalling the moment, his world was crumbling around him.
"Maa...", sighing, Rajveer places his shaky hand over his mother's giving it a light press. "Nothing can ever happen to me", he assures, taking the bowl down.
"Dad...", he calls Veer who was wiping his tears away. "Come here...", he stretches his hand for him.
Veer and Rajni look at their son with a soft gaze, carrying lots of emotions in them. "I have the best guardians with me, nothing can harm me", he says with a blessed smile.
Rajni hugs her son tightly breaking down in tears with overwhelming swirl. While Veer joins too making Rajveer smile at his cute parents whose universe is him.
"Okay, my cuties... I know it was a cliche dialogue but it wasn't that bad. C'mon don't cry now", he tries to chill them out and Rajni slaps his arms lightly. "Shut up, idiot!"
The trio bursts in a jolly laugh, finally easing out the tension and enjoying the moment. Rajni then gives him medicine and asks to not talk much and rest, and he cutely nods with a frown.
"Yes ma'am. I'm doing it. But I don't want to sleep but talk with you all", Rajveer demands making Rajni and Veers heart swelled. "What?! Don't look at me like that, I do talk to you guys", he replies in defence and they laugh at him.
"Ofcourse, you do", She says. "But in a flat tone with few particular words syllables", she adds, taunting him and he rolls his eyes.
Knowing his son well, Veer informs him about villagers, and how they have realised their mistake. He adds that he asked Manoj to resolve the issues as soon as possible, and a sense of relief depicts his son's eyes.
"Speaking of it, this incident has left all of us shaken, especially the poor child, Ahana", Rajni says catching his attention. "She is the one who was affected much, her shivering body with you in blood, has left her shaken through inside", his mother adds making Rajveer pause.
His mother then describes how she was crying with him in her arms there helplessly for a good 10-15 mins. She lost her consciousness almost, when the guards came for rescue and brought them home. Ahana was crying horrendously and just as he was taken to medical attention she locked her self behind the doors.
Hearing this, Rajveer realised Ahana was missing since he got awake, she was not there with them causing his muscles to tense up.
Veer notices his son's facial expressions change and suggests, "I'll just go and che.."
Rajni cuts in middle. "Ahana is resting in the guest room, she refused to eat anything so I asked the nurse to give her an IV drip and some sleeping dose."
Rajveer's eyes seems to soften a little but his expression seems the same. He was feeling guilt ridden knowing his wife, his little wife was so heart shaken because of him. He never thought of someone in this mean world apart from his parents and Manoj will be so hell worried for him.
"Can I see her?", he asks making Rajni and Veer share a look with concern before nodding in yes.
"Come we'll take you...", his parents offered help but he refuses. "It's okay, you guys go and rest", Rajveer suggests making Rajni furrow her brows. But Veer's gesture from his eyes, made her gulp the urge to say further.
They leave the room, asking their son to not exaggerate much and have proper rest. Rajveer gives an assuring smile and calls Manoj to his room.

The pale fragile body, shrunk in just 3 days her round plum cheeks seems to be flattened, eyes covered with darkcircles and swelled, skin almost hugging to bone, while the smile he saw last was no where to be found.
"How can you be so kind hearted and selfless? How in this damn world did I find you?", he mumbles as tears welled up in his eyes.
The etching pain with the sweetness of blooming love, stirs up memories in his mind, taking him back to the day they first met....
*******
She was the same girl he met 6 months ago, fighting with his driver to not be careful enough to care for the small puppy playing on the road. Her eyes were talking along with her plumped lips, anger sitting over her button nose, while eyebrows arched as she bashes his driver. She was carefree, bubbly, living in her own world, treating the world and every creature with all the love she had in her. She ordered my driver to take the puppy to VET clinic as she barged into the front passenger seat. She was so mesmerising and unapologetically audacious.
Rajveer's presence, the car engraved with royalty, and luxurious ambience and interior didn't seem to come to her notice but only the blood oozing from the puppy's leg.
That's when Rajveer knew he found the girl he wanted. He wished for and was actually waiting for.... She made his heart hers on the first sight and he knew he deserves someone like her in his life. After that, he tried to search her down in his own state for so long, they did parted ways that day but his heart was left with her only.
He still wonders how Ahana still couldn't recognise him for once, but he believed she in unique and actually didn't see him that day.
"I'm grateful to have you in my life butterfly, and I swear on me, I'll never let you go through this again!"
