Hello ji!


How is everyone doing?


Excited for this part? Having left you'll at a very delicate, bordering paranoia stage, I would like to take this forward now. Again, I would repeat, all my work is based on thorough knowledge, so be rest assured, I know what I'm doing. And all of you worried for Shravan, don't worry. I love him, he is a character very very close to my heart. I won't let anything happen to him, no matter the sadist in me. But let's all agree that life is unpredictable and things happen when we least expect them.


Anyway, let's not waste more time and nosedive into this one. Qayamat as most of you know is an end of sorts. Literally means a catastrophe or doomsday.. Kind of sets the premise for this update doesn't it? Its time for me to tender a warning, its an unnerving update. Might even need tissues, but sit tight. Let's try to figure out what is wrong with our hero? Yeah..!

Staring down at his sweaty hands, Eric clasped and unclasped his fingers in a bid to tame the raging turmoil causing an uproar within him. A thick blanket of despair settled around them as each moment passed painfully slow. Amanda dug her nails in Eric's arm as each of their laboured breaths mingled into the melancholy that rested in their consciousness.


The occasional opening and closing of the sliding doors of the emergency room, a flurry of doctors and nurses in white coats, carrying medication at times and wheeling in machines at others, gave them an understanding of the gravity of the situation. Around them were other harrowed relatives; some of accident cases others of an array of ailments. "We should inform Uncle Ram.." Said Amanda, snapping out of her thoughts.


"Hmm..?" Eric hummed. Fishing his phone out of his pocket he realised his phone had been engaged for hours. "Damn it. Suman has been trying to call me all morning." He informed Amanda.


"Maybe cause she couldn't get through Shravan's phone..." Shrugging she blinked back the tears. "Call Uncle first. He needs to know.."


Eric sighed, trying futilely to calm his uneven breathing. "I can't." He raked his fingers through his hair, almost pulling at them in frustration. "What do I tell him Am? We don't even know what's wrong with Shravan." Shaking his head in the negative he stared at a distance, taking his mind away from the distressed people around him. Another stretcher was wheeled in, parents in tow. As it would seem, a child had fallen and hurt his head.
