Love Made in Heaven

part 44

Sound of gun shot.....

Akash and payal fell on the floor with a thud holding their hands... arnav and khushi gasped to see them laying on the floor in a pool of blood... arshis mind registered back to few seconds.. shyam and adhesh shot the gun towards khushi and arnav but payal and akash came between taking the bullets on their heart..

Another sound of gun shot echoed...

This time it was shyam and adhesh who fell down shot.. behind arshi there was  aman with police officers ..But they delayed for a second in shooting shyam and adhesh..If not delayed then akash and payal would have never been shot..
Arshi rushed payash to hospital with aman .... khushi was in shock to digest the fact with whatever happened.. payash was taken to the operation theatre...arnav was feeling guilty with all this..He felt as he is the reason for everything..He turned to khushi and shook her..
"Arnavji... jeeji..akdoo bhaiiyya..." That's all she could say before bursting into tears..
Arnav held her tightly ..Himself not able to control..
After sometime doctor opened the doors of OT..arnav marched to doctor..
Arnav:dr..How r they?
Dr:look mr raizada...we removed the bullets..Ur brothers condition is stable..But we can't say anything about his wife..She's still critical..
Arshi felt like their world crushing under their feet... khushi can't even dream of losing her jeeji..Her mother..Her everything...She cried leaning on the chair....
Arnav was rooted in his place...His bhai is fine..But payal di.. noo..She can't leave me..She can't leave khushi..Can't leave my bhai..
For the next few hours it was horrible for arshi... arnav somehow consoled khushi telling her to relax as it's not fine for their baby..She is not crying but still worried ,sobbing inside..She was praying to devimaiiya to give her jeeji back..
Some time later the nurse opened the door.
Nurse:akash singh raizada has opened his eyes..If u want to see him then one person can go inside..
Arnav looked khushi..Both confused whether to go inside.. arnav has no guts to face his brother...What if he asks about payal.. khushi finally nodded her head and she entered...
Khushi sat next to akash..She held his hands..Akash slowly opened his eyes and saw khushi..
Akash: khushi...U..U okay?
Khushi had tears in her eyes.she felt a lump In her throat..not able to say word. khushi simply nodded her head.
Akash:aur..ch..chotte..
Khushi:he's outside..
Akash: payal?
Khushis heart skipped a beat..What will she say? Tears trickled through her cheeks..
Akash: khushi...Where..Is she?
Khushi gathered all her courage ..
Khushi:jeeji is fine..Don't worry..
Khushi caressed his hair assuring him..He closed his eyes due to the sedatives.. khushi ran outside the OT and hugged arnav..
Khushi: arnavji.. jeeji will be fine na? akddoo bhaiyya is asking about her...
Arnav:relax khushi..She will be fine..

The doctors came out checking payal.. arshi turned to them curiously for their reply...
