"I will love the light, for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars" ~ Og Mandino.

SHUBMAN'S POV.

"Mumma what's wrong?"
"Shub" she cries "come home"
"Kya Hua mumma?"  (What happened Mumma?)
She says nothing
"Mumma?"
There's a pause.
"Shubman" it's Shahneel now.
"Shahneel, Kya Hua hai? (Shahneel, What has happened?) Why is Mumma crying?" I ask her.
"Papa..." She also starts crying
"Shahneel what? Kya Hua papa ko?" I panic.
"Papa had a heart attack"
"Oh my god Shahneel ! I'm comming right now"
"Papa is fine now, Shub. Maine mama ko bhi bola you don't have to come" (I told mama you don't have to come!) she argues
"Are you crazy or what?" I shout
"Your career-"
"Tell Mumma I'm coming" I state and disconnect the call.

My head is spinning. There is absolutely no time to pack anything or even inform anyone, I'll call the management from the airport , I decide and grab my jacket and run out.

Calm down. I tell myself.
If it was something serious, Shahneel wouldn't have told me to stay here only.

I get in a taxi and I'm off to the nearest International Airport.
I should call the manager.
He isn't picking up.
Damnit !
I try again.

We are like 10 minutes away from the airport but there is a lot of traffic.
I decide to leave the taxi here.
"So, I walk straight?" I ask the driver
"Or you can go round from there" he points "you'll reach quickly"
"Thankyou" I run off.

My phone rings, it's the manager calling. But before I can pick the phone up, suddenly I fall down with searing pain.
The world is going black. I can't get up-
And darkness.

ABHAY'S POV

Mandy and I get back to the hotel and Shub is nowhere
"Lagta hai Pallak se Milne Gaya" ( I think he has I chuckle and Mandy laughs too.
Suddenly the door opens with a rush
"Abhay, Manjot" it's the manager "Thank God you guys are here. Shubman's been in an accident"
"What?!" Manjot and I shout
He explains that he received a call from the hospital.
So, we rush down there immediately.
I can't even imagine what Shub was doing here.
Airport road? Was he going? India?
-but why would he?
Pallak se toh nahi mil raha tha?
But yaha Kyu?
Then I turn to Manjot and say "maybe we should inform Pallak"
"Samiksha and Kavya too?" He asks and I nod.
I call Samiksha and ask her to inform Kavya as well. She says they'll arrive as soon as possible.
Manjot calls Pallak and she panics a lot, she come right away.

"Shouldn't we inform Shub's family?" I ask Manjot
"Fazool Mai tension hoga, Shub theek hai" Manjot tells me reassuringly.
"Let me still talk to Shahneel didi" I say and dial her number.

"Hello, Shahneel di?"
"Abhay" she doesn't seem surprised to receive a call from her.
"Wo... Di... Actually" I blabber.
"Shub aaraha haina? I tried to make him understand, wo nahi maanega" she says
What , I think
"Di? Shub Kaha aaraha hai?" I ask her quizzically
"Isiliye call kiya na? Ki usko samjau?" She says
I'm trying to understand things when Shahneel didi speaks again
"Usko bolo papa theek hai, uth Gaye hai ab"
"Kya Hua Uncle ji ko?" I ask
"Hume bhi Pata nahi hai Abhi, unke office se call aaya ki emergency ward le Gaye hai, office Mai hi heart attac-"
"WHAT?!" I shout "didi ye Kya Bol rahe Ho?"
"Shub ne nahi bola tha Kya?" She is confused.
"Kuch nahi didi Mai baad Mai baat karuga"

Okay, now all of this is making sense and getting clear, but they must be distraught , so I shouldn't tell them.
Mandy was right, fazool tension hogi unko Aur Zyaada.

OMG! I'm so so so sorry for being inactive.
Really, I had no time.
Also I know this isn't a very nice chapter, but I promise the next one is good, and also I'll really try to write that down as soon as possible.
Until then, let me know what you think.
Thankyou!
