In Malhotra's Hospital
Outside the Operation Theater
Sooraj was standing outside the operation theater with his hands on the door and head leaned onto it. Tears haven't stopped coming out of his eyes. He was cursing his fate to see his daughter in the hospital bed that too fighting for her life.
Someone kept a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Dharam standing with his gaze towards the operation theater..Sooraj just crashed into his arms and cried his heart out..
Sooraj: Bhayya..mer..meri bachi..
Dharam hugged him tightly and tears came out of his eyes..
Dharam ( in tears ): Sh..Shekhar ko bulana chahiye..
Sooraj just broke the hug and stared at him..
Dharam ( composed himself ): Kaise inform karenge hum usko..
Sooraj ( in tears ): Main..Mujhe nahi patha..
Sooraj suddenly took his phone and dialed a number who picked his call in the third ring..
Voice: Sooraj..kaisa hai yar..
Sooraj ( composed himself ): Raj Bhai..aap..aap sabko lekar aapke hospital mein aao..Chote aur Shamishti ko bhi lekar aana..
Before Raj could reply, Sooraj cut the call and fell on the chair with tears in his eyes..Dharam went and sat opposite to him..
Sooraj ( in phone ): Sid, sabko lekar Malhotras hospital mein aao..
He again cut the call without hearing the reply..He sat with his eyes closed but tears didn't stop for a second..
Dharam ( in tears ): Ye humne kya kardiya hai, Bhayya..
Dayavant ( palmed his face ): Mujhe nahi patha..meri bachi..meri bachi andhar hai aur uske wajah, mein hi ban gaya..Kuch tho karo na Appa..kuch tho karo..
Dharam just hugged Dayavant who cried in his arms while beside him sat a soul with eyes closed and leaned onto the wall without any emotion on his face and that was Yashjeet Murthy.
Neither he spoke something nor his face showed any emotion from the moment he has seen Nandini lying in the pool of blood. All he could hear was his own words which he spoke to her and her smile whenever he comes to visit her which showed how much happy she is to see him..
Soon, Yash heard a voice which he craved for the last 24 years..He turned to his right to see HIM..
Voice: Raj, tum kuch bol kyu nahi rahe ho..?
Dharam, Dayavant and Sooraj also turned to the voice.
Sooraj ( whispered ): Chote...
It was Shekhar who came with Shamishti and the Malhotra family to visit the hospital. Raj has just asked him to come to hospital but didn't tell the reason since he himself didn't know why Sooraj asked him to come but this was scaring Shekhar and Shamishti..
Sooraj walked further and called out..
" Chote "
Shekhar got stiffened and stared at Raj in shock. He knew this voice but hearing it after 24 years of his life just made him startled, shocked or surprised. he didn't know what he should call it. He slowly turned to his front and saw Sooraj standing with tears flowing eyes..He didn't has smile on his face but only tears..Shekhar was staring at Sooraj and by now even his eyes went teary..Sooraj opened his arms and it didn't take a minute for Shekhar to run and fall in his brother's arms..
Shekhar ( cried ): Bhai..bhai..aap..kai..kaise ho..?
Sooraj just hugged him tightly and cried..
