TRAPPED (On Hold)

Chapter>19 The restart

"Bihaan..... Where is he?" she screams as fast as she opens her eyes. And looks around to find her family members around her, and a doctor sitting beside her.

"How are you feeling now?" asks her mother sitting beside her.

"Where is Bihaan?" she asks searching for him roaming her eyes.

Everyone shockingly looks at her. She realizes that she was in her room and not at Bihaan's place.

"What are you talking about?" asks her dad, sitting beside him.

"Bihaan.... Is he in his house? I want to meet him Dad." she demands with curiosity in her eyes.

"Only You returned back..... Not Bihaan." informs her Dad.

This shook her upside down. "This can't happen..... How can you leave him there! Do you have an idea how injured he is?" she shouts.

"But it was his family members who were there to help you guys. They might have not find him anywhere."

Thapki was all stunned.

"His family!" she laughs.

"Dad...  I'll find him out"

"Dear, it's been a day since you are here.... Do you think he's alive even?"

"What nonsense!" she shouts. "Of course he is! And he's injured Dad.... He needs treatment....."

"You need to rest"

"Dad please..... Call Riya."

*

It was evening and Riya was called, she was ready with the helicopter to pick Bihaan out of the forest.

"Bihaan" she shouts as fast as she could.

But he was not there. She was rushing all inside the forest. But this time, she was with her team. She comes to the lake place. And gets reminded about that place.

A layer of tear forms in the corner of her eyes.

They reached the place where Bihaan was tied by her duppatta with the tree.

The blood in that piece of duppatta was dried. She slowly takes out that piece and weeps while hugging it.

"Bihaaaaaannnnnnn" she shouts falling on her knees. Riya comes forward to console her.

"Ma'am..... Please control yourself..... Everything will be fine"

"I have to find him anyhow. I know he's alive"

*

It was evening now. And she reaches the place where Arjun was killed.

The blood spots were dried on the leaves and the ground.

"Bihaan" she calls out.

When suddenly, some ruffling sounds of plants catches her and her team's attention.

Her bodyguards come in front to save her from any mishappening.

"No one will attack until I say." she commands.

It was a faint figure, limping and walking towards her. Her eyes grow up in glitter.

The figure finally comes in front of them.

"Bihaan" she gasps and tears escaped out of her eyes.

His face was damped by blood. His body was looking so weak.

But he smiles.

And she smiles back.

"Thapki" he was limping towards her.

"Bihaan....." she runs towards him and holds him before he falls.

"Please find Arjun....." he cries and falls on his weak knees.

The pain in his voice crashes her heart into millions. She bends down and sits in his front.

"Bihaan..." she cups his face. It was all filled with tears and injuries. His hair and beard has grown a bit.

"I have searched him all over..... Did.... Did you find him?" he asks.

"Bihaan stop it..... He's gone..." she shakes his weak arms.

"Please....  Please ask him to come back" he cries.

"You'll get a proper treatment.... Don't worry"

"Thapki.... You know..... He.... He said that he'll never leave me alone"

She rubs his cheeks by her thumbs.

"Bihaan" She cries.

Suddenly he gets dizzy. "Bihaan" she shakes his head. "Don't pass on.... Stay awake" she hurriedly wipes his tears.

"I..... I can't..... I can't live without him....." he murmurs. "I.... I want my...... Best friend....back...." he mumbles.

"Sshhh.... Bihaan..... Look at me...." she tries to make an eye contact to him.

"Thapki..... Please.... Please ask him to come back....." he pleads joining his hands.

His condition was so very vulnerable that anyone could have got tears after watching him.

"Bihaan..... Control yourself...."

"Arjun... Please..... Please come back" and he faints.

"Bihaan" she shakes him.

"Take him to hospital as soon as you can" she commands her bodyguards. They hurriedly puts him inside the helicopter.

*

In the hospital.

"His condition is very vulnerable I must say" says a doctor after coming out of the ward.

"He'll be fine right?" asks Thapki.

"Well..... We can't say anything for next twenty four hours. He's going under a surgery..... Hope for the best"

"But why doctor? Why twenty four hours? He's all well and a bit injured right?"

"Its not that simple Mrs. Rathore. He was attacked by cannibals so the infections are deep. And moreover, he was been hit by a hard thing, straight on his head. And after all that..... He has survived with the open wounds in the forest. So the condition is way beyond normal. He was strong all this while.... Now it's your turn..... Be strong."

"Thank you doctor..... Please save him...." she cries and her mother consoles her.

The treatment was going on and meanwhile his family arrives in the hospital.

"Thapki..... Thank you.... Thank you for doing this much for my beloved son" says Mrs. Rathore running towards her.

Thapki realizes that there was media present behind her. She is just sick at his family's drama.

"Mrs. Rathore please" she whispers while remaining in the hug. "At least stop your drama for now!"

"My dear daughter-in-law" she replies back whispering.
