"I love you My Angel!! I love you a looootttttt" Randhir shrilled out loud and cried bitterly.

"Angel ho tum meri. How will I live without you??? You are everything I have. I will die without you Sanyu. Please come back to me! I love you" Randhir shouted and wriggled to escape from their tight grip. Finding no more energy left, he fell down on his knees and mourned aloud. The spectators were left speechless. Their own eyes turned glossy looking at his helplessness.

Suddenly, there was a tiny movement in her fingers, which brought them out of the reverie.

"She's responding! She's gaining consciousness" Dr. Joshi exclaimed. Randhir immediately jolted up and ran for his dear life.

"Angel... Angel! Please open your eyes" Randhir pushed those doctors and reached her bed. They tried to send him out but Dr.Joshi signalled them to let him be. He could see the intensity of love Randhir had for his wife.

Sanyukta tried to open her weary eyelids. Her head felt extremely heavy and painful. She wanted to touch the back of her head but failed miserably. She felt as if she was totally paralysed. She could hear a feeble sound of someone shouting her name. No... It was not someone, it was Him. But wait... Did he just call her by that name?? She was sure it was a dream. Hell... no, that was real. His wails and hiccups were real. But, why was he crying?? She badly wanted to wake up as soon as possible. Damn her eyes, they refused to cooperate. After so much of hardwork, she lifted her heavy eyelids only to see herself surrounded by a dozen of men in white coats. Amidst all of them, there stood her cry baby, her Tukku.

"Angel... Angel!!! Can you hear me?? Please open your eyes!!" Randhir again shouted thus gaining her attention. Sanyukta blinked her eyes thrice to mend her blurred sight. Randhir was looking at her longingly, with those innocent eyes filled with tears. His nose running, his hair disheveled, tear-strains all over his cheeks, a week old shabby beard, dark circles... Ufff!! In short, he was looking like a total mess.

"Angel... You are fine! You are perfectly fine" Randhir kept repeating like a kid when Sanyukta signalled him to come near. Randhir immediately bounced upon her like a Kangaroo and hugged her tight. His whines grew more as soon as her fragrance hit his nostrils. Randhir wanted to imprint her each and every cell in his system. Only he knew how he was surviving without her for the past 30 days, especially the last 24 hours were the worst nightmare of his life. He continued to cry in her arms while all she did was to remain still.

"Angel... Angel..." Randhir kept chanting in between his hiccups and buried his face more into her shoulder.

"But I thought I was a devil" she mumbled weekly and Randhir immediately flinched back in shock. He kept staring at her in bewilderment while she chipped a sad smile.

"Sanyu... I'm"  Randhir whimpered and was about to say something when she moaned because of the sudden intense pain on the back of her head. She again struggled for breathe and her eyes welled up in pain, leaving Randhir in panic. Dr. Joshi hurried to her with a syringe and injected it into the cannula. In no time, she was unconscious once again.
