Author's P.O.V. Continues....

Burying his face into Meera's neck, Rahul wept in fear of losing the one he loves so much i am so sorry Meera, i am the one to be blamed...i should not have dragged you into this...i am sorry my dear.. He was overwhelmed with guilt.

'Sir I can see a man there holding a woman. I think that's the guy we are searching for' said one of the policeman who was assisting Alex, over his walkie-talkie, standing behind bushes near the waterfalls.

'Go and find out soon and let me know' Alex ordered from other side of the forest with four other policemen.

'Yes sir' said the man and walked closely while the other associates of his followed him.

'Excuse me sir. Are you mister Oberoi? I am a policeman ' he enquired. Hearing the policeman, Rahul lift his face up and was speechless 'Sir are you Mister Rahul Oberoi? ' asked the policeman again pushing his right shoulder.

'Hmm...yeah...yes...yes that's me and this is..' Rahul was about to say further when the policeman spoke again 'You don't worry sir. We are here to save you' he said and spoke over his walkie-talkie, 'Sir, we have found them' and again continued his enquiring with Rahul 'sir, are you hurt?'

'No..no..I'm fine...its her who needs urgent medical help!!' said Rahul worriedly.

'Yes sir, you don't worry! Help is on it's way!!' said the Police man trying to pacify Rahul.

Within few minutes a chopper arrived at the location and they both were airlifted to a nearby hospital. Meera was still unconscious with heavy bleeding while Rahul had blisters under his feet with strained shoulder muscles and ruptured wrists.

Reaching the hospital both of them were taken to separate rooms for treatment. Wilson along with his wife and son Jason were at the hospital to say sorry to Rahul that afternoon when the doctor informed Alex that Rahul was okay and would be fine in a couple of days. Alex was in continuous touch with Wilson and knowing his condition brought some relief to Wilson's mind.

'That's okay Mister Wilson. You are not to be blamed' said Rahul when Wilson apologized.

They all spoke for sometime with Wilson explaining who was behind this kidnapping. Rahul on the other hand was involved in the talk half heartedly, he wanted to be with Meera, who was still unconscious. He kept waiting for Wilson and family to leave him alone. As they left, Rahul jumped out of his bed making him squeal in pain. It was then he recollected about those blisters, but that too did not stop him from walking to Meera's room. Reaching there he found her sleeping and a doctor just entered along with a nurse.
'Hello Mister Rahul, you must be resting in your bed' said the doctor.

'Yes doctor but I would like to know how's she?' Rahul asked him.

'She will be absolutely fine in few days. I was actually going to visit you to discuss about her...shall we go out and discuss. Let's not disturb her, she's exhausted and has been admistered a painkiller and sedative too' informed the doctor walking out of the room. Rahul limped out of the room forcefully, his subconscious mind was not willing to leave though.

'Yes doctor please tell me, there's nothing serious with her health right? Will Meera okay?' said Rahul seated on a chair in the long empty corridor.

'Yeah' said the doctor and sat besides him while the nurse left 'see Mister Rahul, that young girl was hit hard in her stomach and chest because of which she has an airline fracture in two of her ribs and also her uterus is a bit damaged. What I wanted to say was that she currently needs complete rest--please see to it that she doesn't get exerted much. Its going take at least three to four weeks for the bones to heal and now coming to her uterus I must say that she is in no condition to conceive for now and so you need to be very careful about this'

Rahul at once felt a bit embarassed learning about Meera's condition about having a baby but he was not in a position to tell the doctor that they still were not sexually active together and that he never thought about them being together that far. All those thoughts brought change in Rahul's facial expressions. 'Oh no nothing to worry Mister Rahul, she will be fine soon may be in a couple of months. I just want you to consult a gynecologist before you wish to have a baby, that's all! So don't worry much!' said the doctor and walked away from there to attend his next patient. Rahul still could not believe what he heard. Even though it was a bit embarrassing but still it was an important piece of information that made him blush thinking about how they both would make love to each other in the future and how they would plan to have a baby and so on but his guilt overpowered his exciting thoughts it's because of me she's suffering now... he thought with a tear slipping out of his eyes while he held Meera's palm and sat near her bed.

He did not leave her bedside until she opened her eyes. 'I am so sorry Meera!!' was the first thing he said as she opened her eyes and was wondering where she was.
'Hmm!' was only she could say still unable to process and recollect everything.

'I'll call the doctor, don't worry we are safe now!' said Rahul before limping out of the room.

Oh god! Why sir limping? What happened to his legs? Did those kidnappers break his legs? Thought Meera without turning her gaze away from Rahul until he disappeared from her peripheral vision but within few seconds he was back. Opening the door he said 'the doctor is on his way!' and again settled back in the chair. He kept looking at her with sad eyes which were clearly observed by Meera 'are you okay sir? Did those kidnappers hit you badly?!' she asked with concerned filled tone hearing which Rahul couldn't control his tears and whimpered holding her palm 'It's all because of my stupidity!' he continued his apologies until Meera caressed his head with her other hand and said 'I'm okay now! So please don't blame yourself so much!'
In between all this the doctor knocked and entered along with a nurse. Rahul stood aside and kept waiting for the doctor to say that they could get discharged. As expected, Rahul and Meera were discharged two days later. Rahul's blisters were fifty percent healed while Meera still needed time to heal. But Rahul insisted on taking her away from there. Doctor gave him strict instructions on giving her medicines timely and also stressed on the point of letting her uterus heal completely. On the other hand Wilson made arrangements for Rahul and Meera's journey while they both were the topic of discussion on the national television, about how and why they were kidnapped.

The airport was mobbed by those hungry journalists who wanted to click and interview the couple about whom somehow the information leaked that they were leaving Johannesburg that evening. Hiding themselves, Rahul and Meera boarded the plane while Meera was on wheelchair and they were escorted by the police officers from VIP entrance. As expected they landed at the Heathrow Airport the next day on time that which Meera was not aware of. She kept assuming that she was landing at New Delhi. Heavy bleeding made her pretty weak and was asleep all through the journey due to those painkillers.

The news about their kidnapping spread like wildfire and Rahul made sure that Meera was protected by those paparazzi waiting for them outside the airport, he called his father made arrangements for her safe exit from the Airport and so here too she was taken from a V.I.P exit by an ambulance and Rahul walked out to face the situation outside that he was well prepared for. Vikram was waiting for Rahul at the exit with journalists surrounding him. 'Sir, please do share with us the details of who was behind this kidnapping?' Asked one of the journalist.
