Here's the next part.....

Sameer was shocked...Sorry? What does that even mean? No....this.....this cannot happen.....his Naina cannot leave him.....that too when she knew that she's the only person he has.....until she entered his life....he was all alone, even amongst all the people in his life.....he had finally started to see the future with her.......she had become the reason of his existence.....she couldn't leave him like that......SHE JUST COULDN'T..... he was not in a condition to listen to anything at all.....

He came back to the reality, when he felt someone's hand on his shoulder. It was Nanu, who was listening to the Dr with rapt attention.

Dr: Sorry, humne bahot koshish ki.....lekin....unki internal bleeding bahot zada thi and since she's anaemic, humein unhe bahot saare blood units chadhane b pade.....lekin unki haalat theek hone ki jagah aur bigadti hi jaa rii thi......

Vivek: Lekin Dr abhi humaari beti kaisi h? Vo theek h naa? Aapko jo chahiye aap boliye....jo krna h kijiye....kisi doosre Dr ko bulana h vo b kijiye.....mai paisa paani ki tarah bahane k liye ready hu.....but please humaari beti ko bacha lijiye.....please Dr.....

Saying this Vivek started crying.....and Vishakha kept her trembling hands on his shoulder to support him....but today even she couldn't provide him the needed support or strength......but both of them knew, that they had to be strong....for each other....for everyone....and especially Sameer.....

Dr: Dekhiye Mr Somani baat paiso ki nii h......hum jo kr skte the humne kia....but abhi b agle 48 ghante unke liye critical h.....ab bs dawaayein nii....aap sbki prayers hi unhe bacha skti h......Just pray ki ye 48 hours theek se beet jaaye.....agar aisa hua to unhe kuchh nii hoga....lekin agar unki haalat aur bigdi to shayad koi Dr....koi paisa kuchh nii kr payega.....

Saying this the Dr left from there patting on Sameer's shoulder. Sameer didn't know how to react. Should he be happy that she's not left him....or should he be sad that she's not left yet......but she might soon......but still he still has a chance to save her....to save his wife.....his life.....his Naina.....and he will do everything needed.....

Nani wiped her tears and said to everyone.....

Nani: Hum humaari bachchi ko kuchh nii hone denge....Sb chalo hum abhi hi pooja rakhenge.....Maha Mrtyunjay ka jaap......sb theek ho jayega.....kuchh nii hoga.....humaari Naina ko......

Vishakha: Haan maa theek Bol rii h......Preeti....Swati...Amrita chalo abhi hi pooja ki taiyaari shuru krte hain.....

Though nobody wanted to leave, but still they would do anything and everything to save their beloved daughter, sister or wife's life.......

Nani went to the temple along with Swapreeamrita, Nanu, Vishakha, Rama and Rakesh. Boys and Vivek stayed back in the hospital with Sameer. Sameer was reluctant enough to stay back.....he wanted to be with Naina....all the time.....he had a feeling that if he would leave from here....he might loose her forever.....

On the other hand, before everyone reached, Ramdhari had already made all the preparations for the Pooja and also invited Pandit jii. All went and freshened up in a hurry and sat for the pooja. They left no stone unturned to perform the Pooja...to save their Naina.

Sameer had pleaded the Dr a lot and was allowed to sit with Naina when Vivek also asked the Dr to let him be with her.....

Vivek: Dr...Naina aur Sameer Ek doosre ki jaan h....agar Sameer Naina k paas rahega to Naina zaroor wapas aa jayegi.....

Dr allowed only Sameer to be with him.....and boys sat outside with Vivek folding their hands and praying. At home everyone kept on praying and reciting the mahamratyunjay mantra along with all the pandits, who were called for the pooja.

Sameer was sitting next to the bed, where his life was lying. Her face which always lit up his eyes, looked so pale. Her entire body had needles all over her hands. The beeping of the machines, was making him more and more anxious. It seemed like this is not the beeping of the machines, but the sound of a clock, which was taking her away from him with every passing second......

He remembered, how much scared she was and still is if the needles. She once told him that once she had to be admitted to a hospital due to some severe allergies, which almost made her pulse drop down to zero.....and even in her almost unconscious state, she started shivering hearing the name of the drip. And today she's lying in between so many of them.....his heart broke seeing her in this condition.....

The time kept passing and so did everyone's effort....it seemed that everything is going in vain.....it had been almost 36 hours, but Naina showed no improvement.......Sameer was becoming pathetic with each passing second.....he didn't say anything all this while, but kept holding her hand close to his face.

Everyone came back to the hospital once the pooja completed. All were sitting outside waiting anxiously. Sameer had started to loose his cool.....he remembered an incident when they were in Paris.....

Flashback.....

Sameer and Naina were still in Paris for their honeymoon......

Sameer was sitting on the bed side, thinking something deeply......tension lines were easily visible on his face.....his eyes showed some unknown fear......his eyes had traces of some images and tears.....which were ready to flow out anytime....

Naina came out from the restroom after a nice shower....she was about to call out his name, but saw him through the mirror and was scared seeing his this state......she left the towel on the floor and ran towards him.....she held his face between her palms and her eyes showed the reflection of his pain...his fears.....even her eyes instantly brimmed, without even knowing the reason.....that is why, their relation is not just of heart or physic.....it's of the souls.....their souls could understand each other, without even a word being said.......

He looked at her and started speaking even before she could speak......

Sameer: Naina humaari life mei Sb kuchh itna achha chal raa h.....Sb theek h....humara poora parivaar humaare saath h.....tum mere saath ho....mere itne pass....tumhaare aane k baad mujhe har vo khushi mili h jiska shayad sapna dekhna b mai chhod chuka tha......Maine kabhi nii socha tha....ki koi mujhe itna aur is hadd tk pyaar krega.....Naina...mai.....Maine kabhi nii socha tha ki mai kisi k liye itna zaroori ho jaunga....aur pata h jb se you've confessed your love for me....I can't even tell you ki mai kitna khush aur complete feel krra hu......lekin.....

Naina: Lekin kya Sameer?

Sameer: Darr lgta h....ki kahin meri khushiyon ko meri yaa kisi ki nazar naa lag jaaye.....mai tumhe kho k jee nii paunga....mai b mar.....

Naina kept her hand on his mouth even before he could complete his sentence.......and nodded her head in a way of no....both of their eyes had tears in them.....

Naina: ye aap kya Bol re hain Sameer...kabhi aise mt kahiyega.....

He gently removed her hands and kept holding them....and continued.....

Sameer: Nii Naina...Maine aaj tk jise b sbse zada pyaar kia...usne mujhe chhod dia...Isi darr se Maine khush hona hi chhod dia.....jb jb mai khush hua....meri khushi ki wajah hi mujhse chheen li gyi....aur tum sirf meri khushi nii...jeene ki wajah ho Naina.....agar tumne mujhe chhod dia to mai kaise jiyunga.....

Naina: To theek h naa....Maine kb kaha ki mai aapko chhod k chali jaungi? Mai apne Sameer ko kabhi akela chhod k nii jaungi....

She said this with a serene smile on her face.....and tears in her eyes.....

Sameer: Lekin Naina....agar bhagwaan ne humein kabhi alag kr dia to?

Naina: To mai unse b lad jaungi.....

He looked at her confusingly.....and she continued with a beautiful smile.....

Naina: Dadi ne Ek baar bhagwad geeta mei padh k bola tha....ki insaan mei jeene ki icchha ho....to bhagwaan unhe kabhi nii bula skte.....humaare sankalp k aage bhagwaan b jhuk jaate hain......agar humara sankalp poori tarah se pure h.....isiliye agar aisa kabhi b hua to mai b zid p add jaungi.....aur aapko promise krti hu.....ki agar kabhi aisa hua....to mai Tb tk nii jaungi, jb tk aap mujhe jaane ki permission nii dete......mai kabhi aapko chhod k nii jaungi......aapki permission k bina......

Sameer finally smiled....And took her in a bone crushing hug.....

Sameer: Mai tumhe kabhi khud se dur jaane hi nii doonga.....kabhi nii.....hum saath h.....jb tk hum zinda h.....aur agar gye to hum jayenge b saath hi.....I love you Naina.....tumhara Sameer tumhaare bina bilkul adhoora h......

Naina: Aur Naina b apne apne Sameer k bina bilkul adhoori h......

And they both stayed in a hug for a long time.....

Flashback ends.....

Sameer's trance was broken, as if he's found a way to bring his Naina back......he stood up and continued....

Sameer: Naina...tumne mujhe promise kia tha naa....ki tum mujhe kabhi chhod k nii jaogi.....aur Tb tk to bilkul nii jb tk mai tumhe permission nii deta... to Maine tumhe abhi jaane ki permission nii di....tum....tum...mujhe chhod k nii jaa skti.....tum mujhe akela chhod k nii jaa skti....suna tumne.....

He shouted loudly....and started crying badly, holding her hands on either sides of his face and buried his face in between her hands......

On the other hand....Naina was hearing everything Sameer was saying.....she was trying hard to answer him back, but she was unable to speak anything....

Naina: Sameer mai b aapko chhod k nii jana chahti.....mai haar nii maanna chahti....Sameer....Sameer.......

She was shouting in her subconscious mind.....but words were not ready to come out of her mouth.....her body was soaking in sweat......her hands started to shiver.....her breathing was becoming heavier.......she was breathing abnormally......

Sameer could few the shivering of her hands....he lift up his head and saw her shivering body, he got scared....seeing her like this......his eyes became wide.....and he shouted for the Dr......

Dr came rushing along with two nurses and ward boys....everyone came rushing towards the door, and entered inside and got scared seeing her in this condition.....and Sameer was crying uncontrollably.....

Sameer: Dr....Dekhiye naa....meri Naina ko kya ho gaya h.....please please kuchh kijiye.......

Dr told everyone to go outside and wait for them.....but Sameer was not ready to go out.....but Nanu took him out somehow with the help of Romundit.....all stood outside waiting anxiously.....praying to god continuously to anyhow save Naina.....

Inside the ICU, Dr was trying to revive Naina, as her pulse and heart rate were dropping continuously....and her breathing was becoming more and more uneven.....

Outside, even Sameer had started to feel dizzy....since the time they've entered the hospital or left from office he's not had even a drop of water.....he was about to collapse, when Rohan and Munna held him.....they made him sit on the chair kept outside, but he wasn't ready to listen to any of it.....he again stood up, as and when he saw the Dr coming out....he rushed towards them....

Sameer: Dr....meri Naina....

Dr: (smiling) Congratulations Mr Maheshwari....aapka pyaar aur aapki family ki prayers ne apna asar dikha dia....Mrs Maheshwari is out of danger now.....aur unhe hosh b aa gaya h.....

All were happy beyond limits.....and Sameer was the happiest hearing this.....

Sameer: Aap...aap sach bol re hain....meri...meri Naina ab theek h?

Dr: Jii haan.....aapki Naina bilkul theek h ab....

Sameer: Thank you.....thank you so much Dr.....mai aapko bata nii skta ki aapne aaj mujhpe kitna bada ehsaan kia h......thanks a lot.....

Dr: Ye to humara farz tha...aur shayad Ek waqt p humne b haar maan li....lekin aapne bilkul haar nii maani...aur apne pyaar k liye ladte rahe....ye Sb aapki aur aapki family k pyaar aur prayers ki wajah se hua h....hum bs Ek source h.....

Nanu: Dr kya ab him apni bachchi se mil skte hain?

Dr: Jii Abhi nii....unhe thoda araam krne dijiye..bahot kamzor h vo abhi....aur shayad aane waale kuchh din aap sbko unka zyada hi khayal rakhna pade.....

Vivek: Vo to hum rakhenge hi...

Sameer: Dr....mai apni Naina se kb mil skta hu...please mujhe usse milne dijiye naa....

Dr: Abhi hum unhe private ward mei shift kr denge...aap Tb mil lijiyega.....abhi unhe injection deke fir se sulaya h...she needs maximum rest possible....

They all nodded in understanding and Dr left from there giving them all a smile....after about two hours, Naina was moved to a private ward. All entered together....and saw a really weak, but always smiling Naina lying in the bed. She turned as she heard the sound of the door opening.....she saw her entire family together....who's faces showed what worst time they've been through...in this short span of time.,..

All entered one by one, but she was waiting to see one specific person....but he was nowhere to be seen....
