The Sacred Alliance

• Chapter 7 •

Continue from the last part.....

Throughout the drive, Jaanvi couldn't shake off her thoughts about what might have happened, but her reverie was abruptly interrupted when the car came to a sudden halt. As soon the car stopped, Jaanvi immediately turned towards Abhimaan and asked 

Jaanvi: Did we reach where we are supposed to be ? 

Abhimaan: Yes, come let's go  

They both got down from the car and started to move but Jaanvi froze in her tracks, shiver ran down her spine at the sight of the hospital building in front of her eyes. Sensing her rising apprehension, Abhimaan came in front of her, gently holding her by her shoulders as he spoke 

Abhimaan: Jaanvi, dekho tum ghabrana mat, okay ? Everything will be fine. 

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Jaanvi's eyes, cascading down her cheeks. Witnessing her emotional state, Abhimaan gently cupped the girl's face, who was experiencing a myriad of emotions 

Abhimaan: Jaanvi.. Jaanvi, no. Don't worry about anything and please don't cry 

Uttering those words, he tenderly wiped away the tears from Jaanvi's cheeks with the pads of his thumbs. He then again firmly grasped her hand and led her into the hospital, heading straight for the Emergency Room.

As they reached near the ER, Jaanvi spotted Samir there, impatiently waiting for the doctors to come out of the ER. She hurried over to him and asked him with much difficulty, consumed by fear that churned within her

Jaanvi: Dadu, whhe... whhree is naa... naa...nanu ?

Samir: Puttar !

Jaanvi : Boli..ye naa... naa plea..seee

Samir: Woh ander Emergency Room mein hai, under doctors' vigilance 

As soon as Samir informed about Abhay's condition, Jaanvi couldn't control herself anymore and burst out into tears

Samir: Shant mera puttar, ese nhi rotey. Kuch nhi hoga tere nanu ko 

Abhimaan: Par dadu, nanu ko aakhir huwa kiya hai ?

Samir: Woh toh bas doctor hi bata sakte hai

After a while, Jaanvi was sitting on the seat nearby, tears still streaming down her face. Samir was sitting beside her, consoling her while Abhimaan stood leaning against the wall, his eyes fixed on Jaanvi, filled with worry and pity 

Samir: Jaanvi, itna mat roh puttar 

Jaanvi : Dadu, nanu ko kuch nhi hoga na, kyuki unke sibayee mera aur koi nhi hai. Agar unko kuch hogaya toh mai reh paungi 

Samir: Nhi mera puttar kuch nhi hoga tere nanu ko aur hum sab hai na tere saath. Ab chup hoja meri bachi

All throughout the time, Abhimaan kept himself silent, listening intently to their conversation and realised the level Jaanvi was scared with the mere thought of losing her nanu. Somewhere deep inside, for some unknown reasons, his heart yearned to hug her and sooth her but he couldn't understand why

Just then, the doctors emerged from the ER. Spotting them, Jaanvi promptly stood up and approached the doctors to inquire about her nanu's condition. Abhimaan and Samir quickly joined her,  standing by her side

Doctor: Mr. Mehra had a heart attack. Although it was a mild one but due to his other health issues, he's a bit weak. But he is okay now and will regain his conscious very soon
