"The patient has lost so much blood already but it's good that first aid was done." The doctor explained to us.

"How.. is she now?" Uncle asked the doctor which I was about to answer.

"She's in a critical stage for now. We can only analyse the situation and let you know after 24 hours. Now excuse me." The doctor again went inside the ICU.

I supported uncle and made him sit on the chair.

"Will she be fine... Sanskaar?"

I looked at uncle who was looking at the door with tears filled eyes looking completely broken and devastated. It remained me of myself years back when I was waiting for my mom to get well soon and he was there beside me.

"She will be." She has to be.... She really has to be.

I looked at my hands which had stains of her blood. Everything turned into a horror just in few minutes. If I had not allowed her to go alone then she would have been fine now but... I had a strange feeling from morning back then that my heart had been thumping non stop. I felt something was about to go wrong and that was the reason I wanted to stop her from going alone but she was equally stubborn I had to accept my defeat.

I was about to tell her today about what I felt for her and it ended before it started.

I kept pushing her with my cold behaviour but she kept coming behind me. At times I felt irritated and angry when she told that she wanted friendship from me because I know I was not capable of having friends like others. I know I cannot spend time and hang out with friends like others does. I had responsibilities of taking care of my mom, uttra and spring. She stayed strong on her decision and earned to see my other side which I had not shown to many. Even after knowing about me I didn't see her pitying on me but instead I saw her caring for me. She didn't dare to ask me a question about my past as she knew how I feel about it. She kept staying by my side whenever I wanted and made me smile. She gave an arm when she knew I was not well and kept saying me everything was going to be alright.

At one point I know my feelings for her has started taking another way. I wanted to pull her in arms keep her with me forever. I wanted to stare at those doe eyes forgetting the world. I wanted to protect her smile, wipe her tears, make her laugh and be her side.

I took out the silver ring which I brought for her for this evening. Maybe this was not suppose to happen today.

I kept the ring inside my pocket safety and that was when I remembered about the bracelet which she gave me. I took the bracelet out and instantly I could feel the fire igniting in me. I closed my eyes remembering her and looked at the ward.

I promise swara.. I won't spare him and you should also promise me that you will be fine.

"Uncle.. I've got to go out now." I stood up.

"Any problem?" He looked at me.

"No uncle, An unfinished business is to settled now, I'll be back soon."

"What the...." He yelled as he landed on the floor as I kicked the chair from the side. He looked up at me angrily.

"What the hell sanskaar? What's wrong with you?" Wrong with me? I pulled him up through his collar and pushed him to the wall harshly.

"How dare you hurt her!" I whispered to him dangerously. Everytime I look at him that blood stained swara came to my eyes which made me mad in anger. I was turning blind that I don't see the brother who hurted me but a monster who wanted revenge in any form.
