the next day:

rikara's room:

om: gauri, quickly come out of the bathroom. you have been there for too long.

just then he heard vomiting. he rushed to the bathroom to see gauri vomiting blood once again. he rushed to her side worried.

om: gauri, what happened and how come you are vomiting blood?

gauri: omkaraji, whenever i vomit, i always end up vomiting blood. i don't know why.

om saw tears rolling down her cheeks. he wiped them and said: don't worry. today we are going for a test. as soon as we know what's going on with you, you will be fine. theek?

gauri nods as she cleans up and then changes.

a few minutes:

rikara went outside the house to see shivay waiting in the car.

shivay: finally you two are here.

om: sorry shivay voh gauri....

gauri interrupting: sorry for being late bade bhaiya. chalo let's go and get gol gappa.

shivom: gol gappa?

gauri: yes that's why we are going out?

shivay: gauri, you have a fear of hospitals?

gauri was silent and then said: what are you saying bade bhaiya? why would i be scared of hospitals?

om: then let's go to hospital.

gauri: fine.

rikara go in the car and shivay starts driving.

15 minutes: 

they reached a large tall white building and gauri started to shiver as they entered it. she saw people on stretchers and doctors rushing patients into ICU.

she hugged om tight and said loudly: get me out of this place. nothing is wrong with me. 

om: gauri, what happened?

her brain had shut down. she was clammy and there was the glisten of a cold sweat. Her eyes were as wide as if someone was coming to deliver the fatal blow. yet what she saw, no-one else could see. trapped in her own psychosis, a living nightmare for one, tailor made by her own brain to play on her deepest fears.

om: you are scared of hospitals?

gauri: yes so? 

shivay: but why gauri?

gauri: when i was small, my mamu put me in a mental asylum the minute my dad died because he hated me and when i was born, my mum died.

om: so who is that woman who you call maa in barielly?

gauri: my adopted mum. my mamu thought i was a problematic child so he put me in a mental asylum.

shivay: gauri, this isn't a mental asylum. this is hospital. 

gauri: they all look the same.

om: don't worry gauri. nothing will happen here. now let's go. it is time for your appointment.

gauri nods and lets go of om. as she did, all of a sudden om felt empty deep inside. 

cabin no. 14:

rikara and om were waiting for the doctor to come and then he entered.

he was quite tall and muscular. he had a perfectly shaped face and beautiful black hair. he was wearing a snowy white shirt and balck trousers. he had a simple smile on his face that made you feel comfortable in hospital by just looking at his smile.

doctor: hello all, i am doctor mahri sehgal.

he sat down on the chair and said: so it's gauri who is being checked today?

om: yes.

gauri looked up and was shocked seeing mahir. as mahir looked up from the files, he too was shocked seeing gauri.

gauri in mind: why does he look so familiar? he reminds me of....no gauri, you know that he is no more.

mahir in mind: chukti? no mahir, she can't be chukti. chukti died years ago.

shivay: mahir, you okay?

mahir: yeah i'm fine. so what is wrong with gauri that you need a test?

shivay: care to talk gauri?

gauri: no. 

om: gauri, talk.

looking at his eyes, she knew that she had to tell mahir what was going on.

gauri: you see everytime i want to vomit and when i vomit then it is blood. i feel dizzy a lot and i am forever coughing. my arms has marks all over it and i haven't done anything to get those marks. also i have lost a lost of weight and i don't go to gym nor do i diet.

mahir kept his hand on her forehead and both felt weird as he did this.

mahir: your temperature is really high. how long has your temperature been high for?

gauri: quite a while.

mahir: accha. i need to take some blood so then i can send the blood to the labs who will do the further investigations. 

gauri: what? you are taking blood from me?!

mahir nods.

gauri turns to shivay with the adorable puppy eyes and pouty lips. then she says in a very cute voice: bade bhaiya, i don't want an injection. please.

shivay: act cute all you want, you are having an injection.

om and mahir laughs as gauri gave a sad pout.

gauri saw mahir cleaning the needle and started to tremble in fear.

fb:

little girl: nahi, mujhe injection nahi chaya! nothing is wrong with me.

nurse: listen! this injection will shut up you for a while and we need some peace and quiet from you! mad girl

little girl: no, i don't want an injection. i am not mad.

the nurse didn't listen to her and injected the injection in the little girl making her faint.

fb ends.

gauri: nahi chaya injection! 

she said this as mahir brought the needle close to her arm.

om: gauri, relax. if you like, you can hold my hand.

he intertwined his fingers with gauri leading to a very michmichi feeling.

om in mind: what am i feeling? what is this feeling?

mahir inserted the injection into the gauri's arm as gauri closed her eyes and cluthed om's hand tightly.

gauri: is it done?

om: yes it is done.

gauri opened her eyes and saw mahir put a plaster on the mark.

mahir: reports will come soon. i am out for a few weeks so please contact dr ira for anything.

they nod and they went but rikara didn't leave each other hands.

gauri in mind: i didn't faint. how is this?

precap: shocked

who is shocked?

so why did mahir and gauri feel weird in front of each other?

what is om feeling?

what is gauri's past?
