"Glove me. How are his vitals?" He asked as one of the nurses put his gown on after his gloves.

"Very low. heart rate is not stable. The transplant heart is ready..." The nurse briefed him with some more information. The patient was already put under and now they were ready to start.

"Okay! Can you page Dr. Kriti, I need an extra pair of hands in here?" He asked grabbed the scalpel.

"I'm afraid I can't Doctor! She's operating on Dr. Gupta."

"WHAT THE HELL?" Armaan's grip loosened on the scalpel as he stared wide-eyed at the nurse who informed him.

"Yes Doctor. She was brought into the ER by her neighbour. She was bleeding badly and was nearly unconscious—" The nurse started explaining but was cut by a very anxious Armaan.

"But what the hell happened? Care to enlighten me?" He yelled panicking. He had forgotten his mannerisms since he heard the awful news. All the intern doctors and the nurses around were surprised to see this side of him, this soft for Dr. Riddhima Gupta, but he couldn't care less.

The nurse flinched in her spot but spoke "Sir, I think we should proceed with the surgery now. I think it'll be best for you and for the patient If I tell you about Dr. Gupta's accident after the surgery. Right now, this patient is your priority!" She spoke her thoughts out as she saw how he was being paranoid and decided to bring him back to earth as she didn't want him to get in trouble. The patient had already lost time.

Armaan was about retort back but as he noticed everybody's eyes on him in the OR, he controlled on himself. With an extremely heavy heart, he took a deep breath before starting the procedure.

On the other side, Riddhima's surgery went well and now she was moved into her own private room. The nurses were on their feet, in and out of her room, making sure all of her needs and necessities were fulfilled, as she was their favourite intern - treated them with the respect they deserved.

"Hey! How are you feeling?" Riddhima lazily opened her eyes to see Dr. Kriti hovering over her. Riddhima groaned feeling the pain in her leg and nodded trying to cover her pain with a small smile. "That's great! We removed a small piece of metal from your legs and the procedure went smoothly, so nothing to worry about!"

Riddhima slightly nodded, feeling drowsy because of the high dosage of Morphine they gave her. She sighed trying to remember what exactly happened but failed to keep her eyes open. Thus, she gave up on everything and decided to sleep. However, a worried Muskaan barged in, and Riddhima was forced to explain everything to her.
