"Hey there!" Riya exclaims trying to keep herself stable but fails to, as her steps tumble back she's about to trip but Lakshya holds her on time and pulls her to him. Her breathings hitched as he tightens his grip on to her harm, "What the hell are you doing here Mrs. Goenka?" Riya gulps in not leaving his eyes.
She stammers, "I- Uhh... got a call from someone informing about an accident here so I... " she trails off. He still doesn't loosen his grip "I'm still listening Ragini!"
She closes her eyes and breathes in "Sanskar had an accident and he needs immediate blood transfusion."
Lakshya stares at her horrified "Bhai?" she nods and keeps a hand on his shoulder, "I tried calling you but your PA said that you were in some emergency meeting and I'm sorry but I couldn't just wait for you to finish your some stupid business work so I rushed in here." She bit her lower lip as he waited for her to say something more perhaps but she didn't.
"You met him? When did he come back? Is he fine now? What did the doctors say?" he stares at her for an answer but she doesn't respond and he shakes her, "Say something Damnit!"
"Shh! Silence please" the duo stare at the passing by nurse and nod. Riya turns her attention to a now frustrated Lakshya, "Whats with every one firing me with questions today? Anyway I don't know much because I came here just now and why don't you find it out yourself it's some Doctor Makhlani-"
"Malkhani" he clarified and she frowned, "Does that make a difference?" he's about to say something, "You got my feelings thats enough don't go for the words now and I need to meet Sanskar so get out of my way" she crosses her arms demandingly and he sighs.
As she turns to leave, "Last one, never ever go out without informing me your my responsibility Ragini and more off I can't afford to loose more people in my life." He leaves as Riya turns to him smiling someone hits her head from behind and she stares at the person annoyed.
"Falling for someone?" Kavita teases with a smirk on and Riya shakes her head "I want to rise in love baby not fall!" she winks and they share an hi5.
"This is what makes me love you, all that baby and cool wala attitude just like SwaraDi!" Kavita remarks and her eyes become moist.
"Please don't start with the water works not you too please" Riya pleads in a dramatic way making Kavita hit her shoulder in reply.
"Go do your watchmangiri outside the room and give the love birds some privacy!"
"Look who's talking, ruined my adoring the Mr. Goenka moment and now you want me to give your sister some privacy" she sticks out her tongue at Kavita who flips her hair, "I have the right little sister!"
"Ohho! Not you too" Kavita shrugs and leaves from there so does Riya murmuring something perhaps cursing the moment she thought to help someone in her life for the last time.
Ragini is sitting next to Sanskar adoring him as she caresses his now bandaged forehead, her touch wakes him up. His eyes still closed as he whispers her name, "Ragini... "
Tears trip down her cheek and fall on his hand as she smiles sadly, "Is this what I left you here for?" Ragini wipes her tears and turns towards the person, "He needs positivity around him Ragini and these" she points at her wet cheeks "would just make his condition more worse perhaps."
Ragini gulps in "What do you want me to do then? Look at his this condition and laugh?" Riya facepalmed herself, "Why do Ablanaari's lack a sense that normal human beings call 'Common Sense'" Ragini frowns.
She walks to her and hits her head lightly, "Talk to him, tell him how much you missed him. Talk about good things like how I Riya Malhotra-"
"Just spoiled the whole drama and suspense that we created with so much of hardwork." Swara glares at Riya while Ragini wonders what made the chatter box stop mid sentence. As she stares at Riya and then the direction she's staring, which is for her nothing but just empty space she opens her mouth to say something, "I'm sorry!" Riya mumbles.
