In Athens, Greece...

Mukti had stayed back in Mumbai.  Firstly because they couldn't stand Maya and secondly there had to be someone to look after the kids. Naksh had accompanied Manik, Alya, Dhruv and Mr Malhotra to Greece on his insistence.

Alya and Naksh were reaching the hospital in other car while the others had already reached the hospital. The operation was in progress.

Alya and Naksh had just reached the hospital but just then Dhruv and called them stating that they had forgotten a document which was in the luggage, which had already been checked in the hotel. So Alya had to leave but Naksh got off the car.

"Just call me when you reach get to Manik ok" Alya said. Naksh nodded and continued.

He reached the reception. "Excuse me Ma'am could you please tell me the room no. of Miss Malhotra"

The receptionist was Greek and was poor in English. "Kyrìa(Mrs) Malhotra is in room no. 505" The receptionist said in crooked English with Greek accent. Without much delay Naksh headed their.

Naksh arrived in room no.505. He opened the door and what he saw next made him flabbergasted and staggered. Astonished was a small word to describe. He saw his mom lying in the hospital bed. His supposedly dead mom lying on the bed. She was continuously ranting Manik's name. Her breathes became even more uneven and unsteady.

Naksh was awestruck

Naksh was awestruck. He remained in the same state for at least fifteen minutes. He just could not digest his sight. It was as if his senses lost the control on his body. He was traumatized by the sight. He lost all the might and his body took few backward steps, resulting in collision with the wall.

"Dr please come fast the patient has again become unstable" A nurse entered followed by the doctor. In most probabilities the nurse did not look at Naksh who was beside the door.

On hearing the voices Naksh was bought back to life. He took staggered steps towards the bed. Tears started rolling down his cheeks. He did not know how to react.

The doctor examined Nandini, checked the monitors. "Nurse get me my kit." The nurse followed the instructions. "If we do the right thing at the right time we might just get her back to life" Hearing it, a smile crept on his face, a pure smile reflecting his heart.

"Who are you?" The nurse asked on noticing Naksh.

"I am her son"

"I don't know you so just get out"the nurse said and showed him the door. While the doctor continued his treatment.

"Trust me she is my mother" the nurses had held him by his arm and stated pulling him out."wait" Naksh said sternly. The nurse halted. "I have proof" he opened his phone and showed his birth certificate. The nurse left him. Naksh legged towards the doctor.

"Doctor mom is going to be fine right?" Naksh asked in cranky way. The nurse came to him.

"Boy I am allowing you to stay but that does not implies that you will disturb the doctor" The nurse stated.

"Sorry nurse" saying this Naksh stepped aside and started praying to aiyappa. He was insighted by the thought of informing Manik.

"Hello dad"

"Where are you Naksh, I am waiting since so long"

"Dad please come to room no. 505,"

"But..."

"Please dad" Naksh said ignoring what Manik said.

"Okay " they ended the call.

Manik reached the room. Naksh was standing outside the room so that Manik could  find him easily.

"What happened Naksh and why are you crying?"Manik asked concernedly.

"Dad mom!"

"Naksh what happened and what mom huh" Manik said and tried to peep inside the room.

"Dad woh mom"Naksh sobbed. Manik finally got a view of Nandini. He was equally shocked and spell bounded. He was blown by the sight.
