Staring at the closed doors of OT, her eyes got tired but she didn't look away even for a second.
Silent tears are flowing from her eyes, making them turn puffy and red.
It's been two hours since she was sitting and waiting for the doctor to inform her about her Veer. This wait is killing her.
Suddenly the door opens and a nurse comes, making her jump from her seat and rush toward her.
"How is he? My husband..he is," she stopped feeling her word choke as tears gathered in her eyes.
"You are??" the nurse asked her.
"I am the wife of Veer Singh Rajvansh,"
She told her in a heavy voice due to crying so much.
"Ma'am..We need blood for him as he lost too much blood due to deep injuries. Please arrange the blood soon. We don't have much time," the nurse walked leaving poor Preet anxious and tense.
She blinked her eyes and tried to think what she should do now. Whom to call for help.
She calls Aarav but he is not picking up his phone. She calls a few more times but he is not responding.
She calls in the house to inform everyone and asks who shares the same blood as Veer.
"Hello?!" she said as soon as someone picked up the phone.
"Kon?" she sniffed hearing Urmila's voice.
Urmila frowns hearing a cry from the other side.
"Choti Ma...my Veer," Preet said in a low voice, crying to her.
"Preet?" Urmila asked in confusion.
Preet let out a sob as she nodded forgetting she couldn't see her.
"Choti Ma...Veer, he needs blood. He got into an accident. Please do something,"
Urmila was shocked for a second and her heart melted hearing Preet crying.
"Rajveer Ji has the same blood type as him. We are coming," Preet felt a little relief.
"Please come fast..."
"Okay," Saying Urmila cut the call and was about to call Rajveer when Sumitra, who was sitting with her, held her hand, stopping her from calling.
Urmila looks at her with questioning eyes.
"What are you doing, Urmi?" she asked her, sounding frustrated.
Preet was impatiently waiting for Rajveer. She looks at the closed door with a heavy heart.
"Please hold on for me, Veer," she whispered and closed her eyes for a second.
She opens her eyes and slightly turns her head to see Urmila and Sumitra are coming toward her.
She stood immediately and walked to Urmila.
"Choti Ma, where is Chote Papa? Veer needs blood," she asked with her teary eyes.
"He will come. But you have to do something in return," Sumitra said to her standing in front of her.
"I will do anything, just save him. " Preet told her without thinking for a second.
Sumitra smiles at her and forwards a few papers to her.
"Then sigh them, Preet" Preet took the paper from her and the pen from her hand.
Sumitra looked at her with a smirk when she began to sign the papers without taking a look at them.
Urmila was shocked seeing her desperation and love for Veer. She didn't expect her to sign the paper without asking about them.
"You should read the paper," she asked in a low voice.
Preet gives back those papers to Sumitra and smiles weakly at Urmila.
"Nothing matters to me right now. If you asked for my life to save my Veer, I will happily give up my life," Urmila looked away from her feeling so cheap and guilty to meet her eyes.
"But I don't expect you to steep so low. I will never forget how you took advantage of my helplessness today. Take whatever you want, ask whatever you want because who knows when you got this change," Preet wiped her tears while saying this making Urmila ashamed but she just looked away from her showing her arrogance.
Preet blinked her eyes and her gaze fell on the person running toward them. She run to him,
"Chote Papa...Veer," she sobbed looking at Rajveer.
"Shh..I am her now. Nothing will happen to him," he softly patted her head.
She nodded at him and after feeling a form the nurse took him with her.
Soon Damini also came there. She looked at the OT and felt sudden panic not wanting to think negatively.
She looks at Preet who is silently sitting on the bench and looking at doors lost in her thoughts.
She slowly walks to her and sits beside her. Preet felt a presence beside her but she didn't look at her.
"Nothing will happen to him," she said softly as she glanced at the closed door.
Preet wiped her tears and nodded at her, not giving any reaction to her.
"I know," she whispered in a hoarse voice.
After 2 more hours, finally the door opens and two doctors and nurses walk out.
Preet rushed toward them and looked at them with a hopeful gaze.
"How is my husband? He is okay na," she asked them, blinking her eyes.
"His condition is stable now but still unconscious. So we have to put him under observation for 12 hours. We can't say anything until he wakes up. He may go into a coma if he doesn't respond to medication. Also he went through a minor surgery due to head injury, so we have to be more careful about his condition. Have faith, hopefully he will gain his consciousness soon," he informed everyone.
Preet felt numb while Damini felt her heart stop beating in fear. The emotion she was trying to suppress inside her finally came back. No matter what, he is her family even she can't deny that. He is her dead son's memory to her.
She wipes the tears and looks at the Preet who is looking into space in a daze.
"Preet...hold yourself," she held her by her shoulders and made her sit on the chair.
"Dadi, that doctor is lying, right?" she innocently asked her, making her heart clench in pain.
"He will be fine. He will not leave his Preet. Have faith," Damini consoles her and pat her head not liking her crying.
Preet let out a sob and fell into her arms. She cries badly, hugging her as she needs the warmth and assurance that Damini's embrace is providing her.
Urmila looked at them feeling guilty at her act but Sumitra told her she would get what she dreamed of and also save Veer. She has no intention to take Veer's life. She already called Rajveer about him even before Preet signed the papers. But something is eating her up from the inside.
Preet is standing in front of the glass window and staring at Veer through the glass.
Everyone went back home as only two people were allowed to stay with the patient. So, Aarav and she are staying with Veer. Aarav immediately ran to the hospital as he got to know about Veer's accident. He was out of the city and due to a poor network, no one was able to contact him.
"Bhabhi, please eat something and rest. You are standing like this for an hour now,"
She shook her head without moving her eyes from Veer.
"I am okay. Just let me look at him. He should know someone is waiting for him to open his eyes," she told him in her emotionless voice.
Aarav sighed sadly and shook his head at her. She is not listening to anyone. At this rate, she will make herself sick.
He left her and went away not able to see his Bhai and Bhabhi like this. She is so broken with Veer. It's like someone took her soul from her.
Preet touched his face in the mirror. She looks around her and, not finding anyone, she again looks at Veer.
Opening the door quietly, she stepped inside and walked into the room. Her chin quivered as she looked at the condition of her husband.
She sat on the stool beside Veer's bed and lightly placed her hand on his head.
Her fingers lightly move down and touch the white bandage wrapped around his forehead and then traveling to his cheek, her fingers softly caress a long cut near his jawline.
"What have you done to yourself, huh?" she lightly scolded him looking at his serene face.
"It must be hurting so much?" she softly asked, brushing her thumb on his cheek.
"Talk to me, Veer. I am asking something," she sniffed, feeling a painful lump forming in her throat.
"Do you know how much I cry? Are you loving seeing me crying, huh? " she asked as her hand held his hand softly.
Tears again started flowing from her eyes making it hard for her to say anything anymore.
"Please open your eyes, Veer. That stupid doctor was saying nonsense. He said you may go into a coma if you don't wake up today. I know he is lying," She said between her crying and wiping her tears.
Feeling exhausted, she put her head on the side table and stared at him with longing in her eyes.
"I am waiting," she whispered slowly at the same time a tear fell from the corner of her eyes.
Aarav was searching for Preet, getting worried about her not finding her outside Veer's room. He looked around, getting scared. She is not in her right mind right now. Where did she go that too at this time.?
For once, he thought to check Veer's room even though the doctor didn't not allow anyone to meet him until he gained his senses.
As he opened the door slowly, he sighed in relief looking at Preet who was busy staring at Veer. She is so lost that she doesn't notice him. So he went out and closed the door, not wanting to disturb them.
He can understand how she must be feeling and only Veer's presence keeps her calm and provides her assurance of what she needs.
Early morning
Preet woke up, feeling an ache all over her body. She blinked her eyes and noticed the surroundings and soon realized the situation.
Her eyes fell on Veer, who was still in the position as she saw him before sleeping.
Her chest feels heavy as the negative thought fills her head. She sat straight and cupped his face softly.
"Now enough of your drama, open your eyes, Veer. Don't scare me," she asked with a heavy heart.
It was almost 12 hours but he didn't move. She look at his face and kissed his forehead gently and whispered placing her forehead against his lightly,
"Don't trouble me. I can't take more than this. I felt like dying with every passing second. Just wake up now, please..." she started sobbing. Her throat is hurting badly due to crying so much and her eyes are burning and become red and puffy.
Aarav looked away with tears in his eyes seeing her crying like a baby through the glass window.
Suddenly he snapped his head, hearing a loud cry from the room. His eyes widened looking at Preet panicking and calling for help as Veer was breathing heavily. His chest is frantically moving up and down.
He ran inside calling for the doctor. He stood beside Veer while calling him helplessly.
Soon the doctor and nurse came inside and asked Preet and Aarav to leave the room.
"No!! I need him. Please let me stay. I won't disturb you, just not send me away from him..." Preet begged while crying. Aarav holds her and stops her from going near Veer.
"Ma'am, please...try to understand," the nurse told her.
"Bhabhi, please. We will wait outside, okay?" Preet looked at him with watery eyes and shook her head.
"I will die, Aarav. Please ask him to wake up," she started sobbing and hiccuping badly as she looked at Aarav.
Aarav felt like crying but he controlled himself and forcefully took her outside.
"Leave me Aarav! He might need me, ..please!!," She screams, struggling to free herself from his hold.
Aarav hugs her and caresses her head to calm her.
She cried bitterly in his arms, slowly falling on the floor. Her weak heart could take anymore pain. The thought of something happening to Veer is killing her.
Damini, who was coming toward, was shocked and panicked seeing Preet and Aarav crying. All the negative things come into her head.
"Veer..." she whispered slowly, feeling her body shaking in fear to hear something she is not ready for.
She slowly walked to them and sat beside Preet with a pale face. Preet slowly looked up and broke down in tears.
Damini wipe her tears slowly and caresses her hair while looking at Aarav, silently asking the matter.
He just blinked back his tears and said,
"He suddenly hyperventilating, ..."
Damini felt her heart clench. She quickly stood up and look inside the room to see doctor around him. She can't hear the voice but looking at the expression of doctors, she knew something is wrong.
She sat on the chair with a soft thud and felt tears flowing down her eyes. This is the first time she is crying after her son's death.
Aarav made Preet sat on the chair and cup her face. He look at her face.
"Please stay strong. Bhai will need you. How will he felt when he see you dull face with tears? Control yourself and get yourself together. You are my super woman, right?" she sob but still nodded her head.
"Now stop crying or your husband will kill me for your this condition," she smiled weakly and wipe her tears with the back of her hand.
"He will wake up, na?" she asked him.
"He will," he whispered and kissed her forehead.
Their attention went behind when the doctors came out. They run to them with a heavy heart.
"He is fine, now. Don't worry. He might gain his consciousness soon. But his condition is still critical," Damini sigh and silently pray for him.
Preet felt little peace and close her eyes let out a sigh of relief.
"Can I meet him? Please don't make me stay away from him," she plead the doctor.
The doctor look at her before reluctantly nodded his head.
"Just not disturb the patient. He is still under danger, so be careful," she nodded her head and thanked the doctor.
Damini felt good seeing Preet calm as she walked inside the room and sat beside Veer.
Aarav smile slightly looking at them from outside through the window.
"You still care about Bhai. I know you loves him...maybe more than me and Anaya," Damini turn her head toward Aarav but then look away.
"It's not like that. He is family so I am just worried for his health, nothing else," saying she sat on the chair in front of Veer's room.
Aarav also sat beside her and smile lightly.
Preet hold Veer hand and bring it to her lips. She place her lips softly on the back of his hand.
"Don't ever scare me like this. I will die without you," she murmurs again his hand placing a few small kisses on his fingers.
Saying she touch her hand to her cheek and cuddle it. She look at his peaceful face, admiring his beautiful face.
"I love you till my last breath... I love you" she whispers lovingly kiss his palm that she is cuddling to her face.
She smiled weakly and leaned down and placed her lips on his temple. While her other hand is placed on his chest feeling his calm breathing and the beats of his heart.
She is trying to assure herself that he is there with her. He will not leave her.
