Together; Forever √√

|Eight|

Shivaay piqued through the glass door, a green veil obstruct his vision. Nothing. He saw nothing, his entire world constricted to one  word , 'nothing'. His life, love, valuer, respect and lineage nothing mattered, nothing was worth because he was helpless, he can't undo things, he can't change what has been done, in his ignorance or despair of not Knowing . He was standing there, helpless. Outside the  closed door of operation theater, he looked around- cold atmosphere, a morgue, everything was dead ; emotions, feelings and happiness.
No this can't happen, if not for him, for other people around,whom she calls her family, she had to live. She can't be selfish! like him. She is Annika, she had to live. He thought.
Even if he knew nothing of love and sensibility, he knew about death, and death is not a good thing! It takes away love with loved ones.
He realise, no, she won't come back for anyone else, he knows she will only come back for him! now he understands why she cried in front of him that day and realized constant look, which irritated him to the core, it has a name, it was 'Hope'! she hoped to be understood, by him, she hoped loved , care and security from him, how stupid he was to not realise this simple fact ! Why he has to be such an ignorant man? Why always , show his tadi in front of her! Why?

But realisation was good, heart found a little of peace, knowing she won't leave, if he says to stay, if he promises to keep her Happy! He will , he thought. And promised in heart, from now on Annika will thank her god, stars for conspiring to meet shivaay!

A promise waa made to make her, happiest women on earth, she will be loved and cared! He will make sure from now not even a drop of tear falls from her eyes( unknown that, she can't shed tears and only he can make her do it, only he possess that special power). He promised!

Everything has condition, he can do everything only when she returns back, to him.
Shivaay was waiting with others to see the doctor, it's been 6 hours and nobody said anything profound. When doctor finally showed up and was talking to the family, Shivaay looked inside , wanted to talk to her, finally he has realised something and she need to know, he thought, a restless mind and thumping heart doesn't understand rules and without saying or letting others know, he stealthily went inside.

Operation theater, popularly known as OT, It wasn't like anything they show on tv or movies! A long hall, partitioned by white cardboards and covered by green curtains were closed, he looked like a lost puppy. Confused and scared, how will be find her? He can't  look inside random cubicals, what if People saw him, with a constant loud beat of heart thumping, he went inside, to the extreme corner, he moved  diligently towards the end of partition as if his heart, was guiding him.  Surprise and happy it was the same cubical where she was kept. She was there! covered in green wardrobe, although he could'nt see her face, he saw her.
And his world turned upside down! She looked pale, weak and motionless! Nothing like how he remembers her!  Charm which irritated him was missing, he felt cheated, he wasn't happy!
His heart wanted to shake her into life, scold her, she can't pretend to be weak. No she is not weak! But deep down Shivaay also knew it's not fake! And this is all his doings. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the wires attached to her body there was a saline bottle and blood pipes going through her nerves.  A shiver ran through him, he is scared of  syringe, it serves chill down his spine when he saw needle but she was experiencing it, then he saw numerous marks of wounds on her arm, he realised she has been given multiples of them. What got into him, he has no idea but that made him sick, very sick, he felt throwing up.  Breaths hitched, he was unable to breathe, heart was slowing down, dramatically his eyes outcasted itself and rolled up, he could see ceiling  above, white, with patches of moisture, his world turned around, a shiver so strong that he fell on the floor with a loud thud, catching everyone's attention.

There was an under age teenager inside the  OT, it was a scandalous incident, when adults are also supervised while going inside the cubicals, how a boy enters the cabin? Also resulting him to have a panic attack! Shivaay was admitted too, already weak with emotional turmoils he could take Annika's condition and it was scrutinized , he suffered a panic attack!
