Doctors came out. Preeran rushed to him.

Karan: Dr kya hua h adi ko... Vo aise behosh..

Doctor: Aap kon..

Preeta: Yeh uska dad h... Aap yeh bataiye kii champ ko hua kya h...

Doctor: He has cancer...

Preeran were shocked. Preeta clutched the collars of doctor.

Preeta(angry) : Jhuth bol rhe h na aap... Bechare 5 saal ke masoom se bache ko cancer kse ho skta h.. Aur aaj tk toh mne koi symptom nhi dekha aditya m cancer ka...

Karan departed her from doctor.

Preeta(angry) : Kuch nhi smjhte h aap... Kuch bhi nhi... Hmara bacha pada h vaha... Aapka nhi... Aap nhi smjh skte hume kse lg rha h...

Karan covered her mouth with his hands.

Karan: Dr aap boliye.. Iska all india radio nhi band hoga... Tension aur gusse m pagal ho jati h yeh...

Preeta glared him.

Doctor: Aditya abhi bahut initial stage of cancer p h... Jsa kii mam ne kaha....isliye abhi tk koi symptoms nhi dikhe... Par yeh curable h... Hum aditya ki chemotherapy next week start kr dege aur vo 2 se 3 mahine mein thik bhi ho jayega..

Karan removed his hand.

Karan: Thank u so much doctor..

Preeta: Hmm.. Thank u.. Aur sorry..mujhe aapse rudely baat nhi krni chahiye thi... Aap bss apna kaam kr rhe the...

Karan: Preeta tum andar jao... Main formalities krke aata hu...

Preeta nodded and entered aditya's ward while Karan left for reception.

On reception,

Receptionist handed Karan the form which was half filled by Preeta.

Karan was in tears. He touched Aditya's name. Aditya Arora was written on it.

He cutted it and wrote Aditya Karan Luthra there. He smiled with tears.

He completed the formalities and went to Aditya.

Preeta was caressing Aditya's hair.

Preeta(in tears) : Adi... Mumma h... Aankhein kholo bacha...

But he didn't open his eyes, Preeta kept her head on his tiny hand and kissed it.

He moved his finger and slowly opened his eyes.

Aditya(stammering) : Mumma...

Preeta kissed his forehead.

Preeta: Ha champ... Mumma yahi h... Bolo.. Kuch chahiye aapko... Paani du...

Aditya uplifted his finger. Preeta turned to see Karan at the door in tears.

Aditya(stammering): Daddda...

Karan smiled. He listened his son's voice. He is so similar to him but he never wanted to see him like this. He met his son for the first time surrounded by machines in a hospital.

Karan took slow steps towards him and sat beside him opposite Preeta.

Aditya: Dadda...

Karan's hands were shivering. He uplifted his hand to keep it on Aditya's forehead.
