Reaching the hospital they both rushed inside and not long before they saw aunt razia and sasha's uncle who were seated outside the icu.

Sasha went running over to them and asked them about dadi and dads health.
Mr waziq had gotten an angina attack and was now out of danger but the doctors said that he had taken alot of stress and seeing his mothers condition worsen he got an attack but thankfully was brought to the hospital on time. Mr waziq was now shifted to a private room in the hospital but dadi was very critical and was in intensive care unit fighting for her life.

Sasha rushed to dad and hugged him tight.

"I left you guys for some time and thats what happened dad!" She said with tears in her eyes.

Dont worry sasha , i am fine just pray your dadi gets well, bazurgo kay saaye humper qaim rahen, dua go hain wo humari( may elders be with us, they pray for us)." Dad said kissing her forehead.

"I will go see her." Sasha left the room seeing zakwan enter. Zakwan came and started talking to mr waziq. He loved them all,they were very close to his heart, he missed his parents and these people never made him feel left out or miss their presence and seeing dadi and him in this condition was worrying him, he was miserable, unable to do a thing for them. The least he could do was to pray for them and that he was doing.

Dadi was unconcious and in icu from three days now and sasha was just stuck with her.
Mr waziq had been discharged and was sent home and instructed to rest.
Sasha was continously staying at the hospital even though everyone was continously telling her to go home and rest but she wouldent leave dadi.
Dad himself was very tensed about his mother but was unable to do anything because of his health and seeing sasha awake day and night without eating a thing staying at the hosital was making him worried about her.
Mr waziqs brothers, their wives and children would go visit and return making different excuses but sasha whose new product was to be launched had nust shut herself away from everyone and was at the hospital.

"Tum hi samjhao zakwan isko. Akeli sab kar rahi hai ami ka. Thori der nahi atee ghar,beemar hojayegi. ( you tell zakwan, she is all alone taking care of mother, she wont come home to sleep even, ehat if she gets sick.)" Mr waziq said worry dripping from his voice.

"I am waz, but she never listens ,you know how stubborn she is." Sighing zakwan replied, it was true he many times told her to go home and rest alittle, he would stay with dadi hut she wouldent listen, she was fully ignoring him also.

"This is why me and ami many times tell her to marry, she nevet listens, this is our health condition zakwan! She will be left all alone after us, i knie no one is hers, not even my brothers or sisters, eveyone in this worls is selfish and life partners are important. Let ami be fine,i will try to convince her again." Mr waziq sounded weak, full of worry for his daughter.

"Waz! I, I have no adult in my family to talk to you over this and you are my only elder, so please dont get me wrong but I really want to marry sasha, please do consider this proposal also." Lowering his eyes and holding mr waziqs hand zakwan blurted out what was in his heart.

"Zakwan! You made me the happiest, who could even be better than you for her! But you have to convince her yourself, i wont force her, i have already done lots of damage before even though i didnt intend to." With tears in his eyes mr waziq hugged zakwan.

"Waz! That was not your fault and yes leave the rest to me, i will convince her." Hugging him back and kissing his forehead zakwan left from there feeling content.

Another day had risen but dadi was still in the same condition and sasha was feeling miserble, dadi was her asset, her heart! .
Dadi had been everything to her, her mother, her friend and many atimes a father also when mr waziq was on buisness trips.
Dadi was a wonderful lady. All her life sasha had seen dadi loving her mother dearly, they were never in a bad saas bahu(mother inlaw and daughter in law) relation, infact they seemed mother and daughter and seeing all this sasha had immense respect and love for dadi in her heart.

Sasha was scared, very scared of losing dadi after she had lost her mother, she only had dad and dadi and both of their health conditions were worrying her now.
In the previous days in a hospital she had actually realised their worths and also gripped on the point that no one was loyal, her own cousins, aunts, umcles were literally avoiding visiting her in the hospital, her phone would stay silent and she was now missing calls and texts from dadi.
Dad despite his condition came to hospital and alsi told sasha to go home and rest but instead she got angry and told him to go and rest at home. Apart from them all zakwan was very continously visiting the hospital, calling her again and again which she was fully ignoring and also attending her office without even sasha asking him.
She was silently ignoring zakwan, he would come leave food for her ,try to talk to her but she wouldent answer and today she saw him coming in but instead he ignored her today, he came, met the doctors went in to see dadi and left and she felt sad all of a sudden. She realised her mistake.
Fine she wont marry him and he asking for marriage was also wrong but he was there for her and dad when no one was. He was trying to help and she was being rude.
Drinking water from water bottle she went out after him, she knew exactly where he would be.
After meeting dadi and her he would often sit in the back secluded lawn of the hospital, pray salah there and then see dadi again then leave.

Running till there she was disappointed to see no one there. Sighing she left to return back when she bumped into him.

"What zakwan! You scared me!" Breathing heavily she put a hand to her heart and said.
He really did freak her out.

"Bus itne me hi darr gayee, bohat bahadur bani phirti ho! ( you got scared while you try to act so brave all.the time)"
Saying sarcasticly he started walking away. To catch up she ran behind him.

"What are you trying to say?" Joining his steps she said.

"Simple! Dont try to act as if you are made of steel!, you need someone sash! Everyone does! . Your dad is worried about you, dadi is already sick, dont get yourself ill please! Stay with her , take care of her but still take care of yourself too, you need energy to look after the patient!
For God sake eat something, have some sleep, switch timings with me, go home, i will stay here! " he nearly yelled and walked over to the back lawn where it was empty. Sasha trailing behind him.

"I dont want to bother anyone!" She lowered her eyes and said in a weak voice, she was holding on too much, she just wanted someone to share her sorrows with, her burdens with. She desperately needed a shoulder to cry on.

"I am not being bothered sash!" Frustrated he turned and her broken self melted him in seconds. Holding her hand he pulled her towards himself and she crashed hard on to his chest. Holding on to him she cried, and she cried hard , soaking his shirt with her tears.

"Aise na karo yar!" ( please dont do this) " smoothly running his hand over her hair he said pain visible in his voice .

"I am done with this life zakwan! I just want escape, everyone is so fake and selfish. And I want dadi fit and fine,,, please tell her to be okay again, tell her that sasha will listen to whatever she will say, i wont deny anything , but just tell her to dont leave me ever!" She said crying hard and zakwan felt miserable.

"Just pray for her health and she will be fine sasha. And come eat something." Patting her head he pulled away and wiped her tears.
Later he took her to cafe just outside the hospital and fed her a sandwhich with a big cup of coffee and she ate. She looked so worn out and tired.

When they returned back to the hospital good news was awaiting them, dadi finally after a weak had waken up, she was showing positive signs and all the doctors and nurses were happy for her.

The next day dadi was shifted to a private room in the hospital and sasha seemed fresh and relaxed now.
Dadi woke up between her sedatives and the only name that was on her lips was sasha and sasha was present their beeming with joy.

Thanking the almighty sasha made lots of dua for dadi and dads health and long life. She couldent imagine her life without them.
