Dev woke up from the noises in his room, the sedative to numb his pain had him slipping in and out of consciousness since he first woke up in the morning, all his family members were gathered in the room, the staff changed his location soon after he became stable to the lounge , he had been shot twice, one in the leg and other on his back.

He had just left the police station and was excited to meet sonakshi when he got a call from his informer about a secret deal taking place in his vicinity that night, he had to take actions immediately and in the rush he couldn't inform Sonakshi that he will not be able to meet her, he had rushed to the place with his team and surrounded them from all around and stopped the trade of  illegal weapons, there had been a lot of shooting involved but the surprise attack worked to their advantage, everyone came out unscathed but it was after they left the place someone who was not at the scene at that time had tried to thwart the car in which all the cuffed dealers were. The car swerved but thankfully not much, this put Dev into action and he chased the new guy down but he had the advantage of crowd now and he targeted innocent people but he was an amateur and his shots mostly missed the crowd but he had been able to shoot two and for one of them Dev took the bullet on his back and then on his leg before he had shot the guy down himself.

When Vasu, who was with Dev told the family all the detail with necessary theatrics, they gave Dev hell for being so reckless, though they understood it was his job and if situation demanded he would not hesitate to repeat his actions, they were his family and it was natural for them to be afraid for him and for taking his life so lightly. However much they scolded him but they were extremely proud of him too. Sonakshi's family has also called and asked about his health, Asha had talked to Dev as if she knew him since forever, his heart warmed at her familiarity as if they were already one family. But he was restless to only see one face, she had not talked to him nor visited him yet, she worked in the hospital for god's sake. She had to come by now. He hated that he had left her hanging once again, she must have waited for him yesterday but then he had his reasons for not being there and she knew them, she could not be angry at that could she? no mom told how distorted she was at my condition, she cares about me so why is she not here!? is it about what happened at her house! He thought but he could not leave the room plus with his whole family there it was not the best idea, wanting to see her.

Sonakshi was also restless in her cabin, she had just arrived at the hospital and her first instinct was to go and see Dev but as soon as she heard the chattering in the room she back-pedalled to her cabin, his whole family was there, what was she going to say in front of them, she already knew he was fine, her mother talked to him in the morning, how much she wanted to take the phone from her and put it on loudspeaker, since the realisation or more like the acceptance that she loves him, her feelings for him has intensified somehow, she is craving to see him, to hear his voice, to touch him. He was on bed rest for a week so seeing him wondering in the corridors was out of question but someone or the other would always be by his side in the room and she wanted to meet him alone for the first time or was it better to meet him in the presence of others.

"Will it be awkward? of course it'll be awkward and with everyone there! na baba na Oh god kuch karo na!" She said banging her head on the table. She was so confused and anxious that she did not hear the knock on the door or it opening. Someone cleared their throat while Sonakshi was banging her head on the table to think of something, she raised her head too quickly and snapped her neck in the process.

"ouch..ow" She said rubbing her neck while her face heated in embarrassment, she literally wanted to bang her head on the table now as she heard the person trying to suppress their laughter.
