Maan kept his arm around geet while she saw Darji through the glass, she had been crying constantly. It was hard for him to stop his own tears but he managed, everyone was really worried. He had to be strong for others. Doctors said that darji was in coma and there were 50-50 chances of waking up or slipping off to eternal sleep.

He took Geet to the chairs lined outside his room, where Dev was sitting, this was the first time, there was no smile on his face or twinkle in his eyes. Everyone was here, dadima had taken Roshini Mama home as she was not well. Tension was not good for her. Dad had went home with them.

Doctors were asking them all to go home and rest as there was no point in staying here.but no one wanted to go. Simran mom constantly crying, maan was trying to console both geet and her at same time.

Yash who was sitting quietly at one side came and hugged geet who started crying loudly.

Yash,''shhh don't cry geet,you know how much darji hate your crying.'' Dev got water for them.

Yash,''all of you should go home now, I am here, there is no need to worry.''

Geet, ''papa, I don't want to go home.'' yash gently patted her head and looked at Maan and said,''take geet and simran home.''

Maan,''no dev will take them home and I will stay here with you.''

Yash knowing Maan will come back later, if forced to go now. So, he said okay. As you say.''

Raj was worriedly pacing the floor while Savitari devi was sitting ash en face on the sofa.

Savitari devi,''there has to be some solution, what will I say to 'Gurvind when he came back to his senses.''

Raj,''i don't know how it happened. We had 80% shares in our hand, a take over was impossible.''

Savitari devi,''why would gurvind sell his own shares?''

Raj,''he invested heavily into three new branches they were opening abroad. Then, Yash decided to go back. He bought quite a huge amount of property there. I had no idea as I was in Indonesia at that time and darji never said anything.''

Savitari devi,''there were no financial problems, Maan checked everything before going, in fact he thought there might be shortage of money so he brought shares in name of Geet.''

Raj,''then, someone tricked him into believing that there is crisis and he need to sell shares. But that is useless now, Shuriya Kashab has taken over the Hotel chain and legally he is the owner as he control 51% shares.''

Savitari devi,''should I try to talk to him, I am like his grand mother.''

Raj said puzzled,'' you can try but this seems personal. The hotel is all time low position due to attacks,heavily loaned, its really risky.''

Savitri devi,'' I will try, at most he will say no, there is nothing else he can do.''

Raj,''he has called a meeting of all top executives tomorrow and Geet's got invitation as well. She owns 49% shares, her opinion will matter to him.''

Savitari devi,''Geet can't handle all this, she is already traumized by Gurvind's accident. I just pray everything will be fine.''

Raj,''don't tell Maan about it, he is really emotional right now. They are not going to release any press release just yet. They have been very quiet about whole deal. I don't know how will I face darji.''

Savitari devi,''don't worry everything will turn out o.k. Just be calm, you keep an eye on children, I will deal with Shuriya''.
