"NO! Choti!! No!! Please wake up!!!! Please Ahana, Wake up!" Arnav pleaded with the unconscious form of his sister

"Arnav... She's breathing! We need to take her to the hospital" Khushi said

Arnav was crying hard holding ahana in his lap

"Arnav!!" Khushi yelled shaking Arnav "She needs to be taken to the hospital!! We can't delay much! We'll lose her otherwise"

Arnav's face snapped up, Khushi nodded. "Give me the keys... Bring her to the parking area... I'm waiting" She said

Keys... Arnav tossed the keys at her and Khushi ran from the apartment at the speed of lightening followed by Arnav with Ahana in his Arms

"Let me drive" Arnav said

"Never... I'm going to drive! You'll not be able to drive! Trust me... I'm not going to let you down!! The city hospital isn't far.. We'll be there in no time" Khushi explained

The otherwise 20 minute drive took a mere five, Thanks to the empty roads of the city and Khushi's frantic driving! She came to a sudden halt at the hospital "Inside... I'll follow in a minute" Said a breathless Khushi. First time in sixteen years, She had driven a car at such a crazily fast speed! Arnav hurried towards the hospital, Not before getting an assurance from Khushi that she's fine

Today her fear was nothing compared to the pain of her husband. She rested her head on the steering as she breathed heavily for another few minutes before safely parking the car safely and following Arnav inside

"Arnav.... Are you Okay?" Khushi asked softly

Without a word, Arnav passed the letter he was holding to Khushi.

"I'm a very bad brother shona... I couldn't even protect my baby" Arnav said guiltily

"Its not your fault Arnav, Maybe the situations were not in your favor... And, I know you wouldn't hurt anyone willingly" Khushi told Arnav

"You're saying this? The one person in the whole world, I've hurt the most! I mean... Honestly?" Arnav asked surprised

Khushi smiled "There's no denying the fact that you've hurt me, But you know... I was more hurt by what you weren't doing... Than what you did! You know distancing yourself from me wasn't the solution! Talking to me was" Khushi said

"I know... Sometimes.. I just don't see the obvious" Arnav said

"Arnav... I am right beside you no matter what! You know that right? You know that you don't have to act all strong in front of me. You know you can be my Arnav in front of me right?" Khushi asked

"I know... Thank You shona! You're the only one... Jo mujhe Ma ke baad itna samajh paata hai... Pata nahi mein tumhare bina kaisa hota! (You are the only one who understands me to this extent after ma... I can't even imagine what I would have been if you weren't there)" Arnav said

"Let me guess... Unmarried... For one thing, Unromantic...Rude... Workaholic... Etc... Etc" Khushi said in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere of the room

Arnav smiled

Just then, The doctor came out of the ICU where Ahana was lying unconscious

"Doctor... Ab woh kaisi hai? (Doctor... How is she now?" Khushi asked

"Dekhiye... Kaafi khoon baha hai, Agle 3-4 ghante thode naazuk ho sakte hain, Bahut weak hain woh... Both physically and mentally" (There's heavy blood loss... The next 3-4 hours can be critical. And she's extremely weak... Both mentally and Physically) The doctor said

"Doctor... Kuch ghabrane jaisa?" (Doctor is there something worrisome?) Khushi asked

"Suicide attempt ke baad, Patient mein kisi cheez ko fight karne ki energy nahi reh jaati... Haan external injuries... Perceivable chotein sambhali ja sakti hain... But androoni zakhm... Bahut mushkil se bharte hain... It's just a very advance stage of depression... Bahut patience aur bahut pyaar se deal karna hoga aapko unse... Aap samajh rahe hain? Koi bhi stress unki haalat bigaad sakta hai (After a suicide attempt.. The patient loses the energy and will power to fight anything... External injuries can be taken care of.. They can be healed quite easily... But internal injuries.. [] heal hard. It's like an extreme stage of depression... You have to deal with her with a lot of patience and a lot of love. Are you getting my point? Any kind of stress... Can ruin her health) The doctor explained

Khushi nodded in acknowledgment

"Can we... Can we go inside and see her?" Arnav asked

"We're planning on shifting her... To another room, Private? (Arnav nodded) Yeah, So you can go and see her once she's shifted. She'll be unconscious though" The doctor told them

"Why?? Why?? Why is this happening shona... Di... You... And now even my choti, Why is God testing you all... Does Devi Maiyya not see that you've had enough?" Arnav asked Khushi

Khushi pulled Arnav in a hug and kissed his forehead.

"Devi Maiyya sabko test karti hain Arnav... Bas Woh humein zyada test Kar rahi hain... Kyunki woh humein bahut pyar karti hain... Agar Devi Maiyya humein test karti hain... Toh Khushi bhi deti hain(The Almighty tests everyone Arnav... She's just testing us more than the rest because she loves us... If she's testing us, She's the one who gives us all the happiness as well)" Khushi explained softly

"I love you shona" Arnav whispered

"I love you too" Khushi whispered back

"I don't wanna lose you guys... I am really scared Shona! My choti... She's dying Shona" Arnav cried

"Kuch nahi hoga usko Arnav! Devi maiyya hai Na... Woh hamari Ahana ko aaj tak protect karti aayi hai, Aaj jab aapko woh finally mil gayi hain, Toh woh aapse aapki choti ko nahin cheenegi... Woh itni cruel nahi hai (Nothing will happen to her... Arnav! Devi Maiyya is there right. She has protected Ahana till now... And now that you have finally got her back, She's not going to snatch your choti from you... She's not that cruel)" Khushi comforted softly

Arnav kept his head on Khushi's shoulder, Khushi caressed his hair softly "It's going to be all right Arnav" Khushi said
