swasan... i do... (Completed)

chap 15- his happiness returned

Sanskar felt as if his life had been snatched from him for a moment. He ran towards swara. He saw her face tilted towards one side. Her eyes were closed. Ecg was showing flat line. All the signs of life were caesed. Suddenly a doctor came forward with cardiac shocker in his hand. A nurse came towards sanskar.
Nurse: sir... please..
She took sanskar away from there. Sanskar heard the sound of machine getting switch on. He heard the voice of doctor "one two three...go". He turned at once to see swara's body raised slightly up from the bed and then down. A pain seared his heart. Again another shock was given. No response was from her. The doctor looked at sanskar with a remorseful gaze. Sanskar knew this gaze. It was the hopelessness when a doctor is not able to save patient. It was the third time. He saw doctor increasing the voltage. Sanskar knew it was their last try. He closed his eyes to let tears escape from his eyes. He couldn't let swara go. He couldn't. He ran towards swara amidst doctors. In between doctor gave her another shock. But all vain. Sanskar came near swara and held her hand tightly. Tears were streaming down his face. Suddenly swara took a deep breathe. Doctor immediately looked at her. She was holding sanskar's hand tightly. Her pulse started to raise though her blood pressure was down.
Sanskar: swara.... please fight... fight for me... i ll die ...
His words were converted into soft sobs. His eyes were brimming with tears. Laksh came from behind.
Laksh: bhaiya... lets wait outside. Swara needs to be shifted in icu na.
Doctor: sir we understand your emotions but as a doctor you know very well we have to do some procedures which may be painful for you to see.
Sanskar nodded. He looked at swara and touched her forehead with his lips. Laksh held his shoulders and took him out. He sat on a bench nearby. His legs were trembling. He burried his face in his hands. Just few hours before she was wrapped in his arms and now she is wrapped in between various pipes. He saw the floor being cleaned off. It was all swara's blood. Laksh was continuously holding sanskar.
Sanskar: laksh... will she be alright? Woh theek toh ho jayegi na?
The innocence in sanskar's voice melted laksh. His eyes brimmed with tears. He engulfed his brother in a hug.
Laksh: she will be...
Suddenly doctor came outside. Sanskar almost jumped towards him.
Sanskar: swara is fine na... i can meet her na...
Doctor looked at sanskar with remorseful gaze. Laksh held sanskar's hand.
Doctor: dekhiye doctor sanskar... dr swara has suffered a lot of blood loss. It's a miracle that she is still breathing. Her blood pressure is constantly low despite high pulse. Her body is in a state of third degree shock due to high blood loss.
Sanskar held the handle of bench tightly to save himself from falling. Third degree shock.... only miracles are saved from this shock. He looked at doctor.
Sanskar: blood... blood transfusion.. what about that?
Doctor: it's been going on. But her body is not accepting. Her organs have undergone vital damage specially her heart and brain. If she doesn't get conscious in next 6 hours then she may slip into coma.
Sanskar held his head tightly. Coma... organ damage.. swara endured this for him. If she didnt intervene she would be safe. It's his place which swara had took. Doctor held his hand.
Doctor: dr sanskar.. if you want you can sit near her.
Sanskar stood up at once. But a hand held his shoulder. He turned to find dp standing. Seeing his father in front of him he tried to control his tears. But a father understamds always his son's turmoil.
Dp: you know sanskar when you were born na... ap ji was too critical. She was unconscious for two days. As a doctor i knew nothing can save her. But as a husband i knew only my love can save her. And after two days when she got conscious she called me first. She said i came to her dream and asked her to get up.
Sanskar looked at dp with blank eyes.
Dp: go and sit with swara. Dont let her go. Forget you are a doctor for a while. Ask her to come back. She will... i know.
Sanskar nodded. Laksh opened the door of icu for him. Sanskar entered but the scenario broke his heart to a thousand pieces. Swara was lying on bed dressed in a blue hospital gown. Her both wrist were covered in bandages. Her both forearms had canula attached to them. One was giving blood and other was for a clear fluid. Ecg monitor was continuously monitoring her heart beat along with bp arm cuff for blood pressure. Her cute nose and lips were covered with oxygen ⁹mask. Her hair were scattered on her pillow. Her face was pale. There were big dark circles under her eyes. Tears fell down from sanskar's eyes. He came near swara and sat on a stool. He tucked her properly in comforter. He tucked a flick of hair behind her ear. Again a drop escaped from his eyes.
Sanskar: please swara... itna mat rulao mujhe. I can't bear.
He held her palm carefully so as not disturb the stiches on her wrist. He intermingled his fingers in between hers. He kissed her forehead lightly and placed his head near her pillow.
Sanskar: swara... people outside say that you will slip in coma. You wont na.... hai na.
He caressed her cheecks lightly and turned her face towards him.
Sanskar: it was you only who gave me light. It was you only who gave the warmth of her heart. If you leave then how can my heart will beat?
His voice choked amidst words. He burried his face in swara's neck and cried his heart out. He finally released himself. He looked at the clock. It was 4 hours since he was sitting with swara. Doctor had said 6 hours. He looked at bp monitor. Blood pressure was still very low...lower than the last time he had seen it. Suddenly doctor came inside for her check up. He looked at the monitor and checked her vitals.
Doctor: doctor sanskar... please be calm and listen to me. Doctor swara's body temprature too has started to fall. This is not a good sign. She has only few hours left. Call her family and everyone who want to see her last time.
Sanskar sat on the stool with a thud. All he could do was gasp for breathe. Few hours left... no.. his swara cant leave him.
Sanskar: swara dont... please dont.

Outside ragini was hugging ap and crying for her best friend. Laksh too was crying silently for his sister. Dp was trying to console everyone. Sujata was hugging rp. Both of them were shedding tears.
Ap: if anything happens to swara sanskar will break down. That girl gave her everything for sanskar...first her dignity was questioned because of him...now het life.
Dp: nothing will happen... you will see.

Inside sanskar was constantly wiping his tears. Suddenly swara took a deep breathe. Her body started to struggle.
Sanskar: swara....
In his heart he knew what does this mean. But he wanted himself to be wrong this time. He tried to held swara while calling others. In a few minutes she was surrounded by a team of doctors.
Doctor: her heart is not beating properly.
He filled a liquid in injection and stabbed it directly in her chest causing swara to jitter in pain. Doctor looked at sanskar. Sanskar knew whats next. He ran outside of her ward to the temple inside the hospital. He folded his hands and tried to speak but all that came out of his lips was a cry...gentle sobs. His tears were pure. His heart was pure. His love wAs pure. He was crying continuously. The patients were staring at him... the students were staring at him... the doctors were staing at him...nobody has seen this face of sanskar. His cries were so psinful that even the strangers prayed for him. And so many prayers never get unanswered.
Doctors were trying to save swara. Injections after injections... drips after drips... in last 15 minutes almost 10 injections were administered to her. Suddenly her fingers moved. Doctor saw a slight increase in her blood pressure. They felt a ray of hope. Swara suddenly moved her face. She tried to open her eyes. A smile ran across doctor's face. Swara finally opened her eyes.
Sanskar was praying continuously for swara. Laksh stepped besides him.
Laksh: bhaiya... swara has got conscious.
Sanskar felt as if someone returned his heart beat back to him.
Sanskar: how....how is she?
Laksh held his hand.
Laksh: come....
Sanskar came to her ward almost running. He saw a relaxed expression on everyone's face. Dp was having a talk with doctor. He too joined.
Doctor: her blood pressure has raised. Her body is out of shock now. But the damage to her body will take time to get better. She will need the best care she can get.
Sanskar: she will get...
Dp: i told you na sanskar... power of love is something never to be underestimated.
Sanskar nodded.
Doctor: dr sanskar... you can go and meet her. Though she is in conscious state but she is very weak. She has suffered an a great deal.
Sanskar nodded. He entered swara's ward. Her eyes were closed. This time her nose did not have oxygen mask. Sanskar came close to caress her hair. Swara opened her eyes. Her eyes brimmed on seeing sanskar. Sanskar too couldnt control his tears.
Sanskar: sleep swara... everything is fine.
Swara opened her lips to say something but sanskar kept a finger on her lips.
Sanskar: shhhh... we will talk later. Now you will get a good sleep and after that a good care.
Sanskar's voice choked a little.
Swara: you go and get rest too. You may have migrain attack again.
Sanskar: yes i am resting na... see. Saying so he rested his head on swara's chest. Swara smiled a little. She closed her eyes and drifted in sleep. Sanskar gave a prck on her lips.
