Sidharth is sitting outside the ot room. It almost night but there is no clue about shehnaaz. They start her surgery around 7 at evening and now it's 1 at night. Both mothers are praying for her non stop while fathers are sitting like a statue, Shehbaaz also sitting silently he pray for her sister.

Sidharth recall all the memories with her. He smile little remember about them but suddenly his smile fade away thinking about her current situation he chain of thoughts broke when someone called him. He look who call him and saw the same old lady. He wipe his tears and move toward her.

Sidharth : "Dadi aap yaha" he said in heavily heavy voice, his voice get heavy because he cry from past 5 hours.

"Sana kesi hai?" The old lady asked.

Sidharth : "pata nahi andar lekar gaye hai cheh ghante ho gaye magar kuch pata nahi hai" he look down.

"Fikar mat kar beta meine bhi uske liye bohot duaaye mangi hai kuch nahi hoga usko".

Sidharth : "i hope so lekin aap yaha kya kar rahe ho?".

"Mera man ghabra raha tha bohot phir yaad aaya aaj sana ki surgery hai to pehle waha gai phir pata chala wo log le gaye usko andar isliye yaha aa gai".

Sidharth : "dadi bohot late ho gaya hai aap jaakar so jaye sana ke aate hai mein sabse pehle usko aapse milwaunga" he kissed her forehand.

"Theek hai beta mein jaakar bhagwan se aur prathna karti hai dekhna sana bilkul theek hokar aayegi".

Sidharth nodded and nurse take the lady with her.

Sidharth continuously looking at the door, he again sit on his place near the ot. He look at the family they are totally broken he feel restless seeing them like this. He closed his eyes and rest his head on wall.

The door of the ot open and doctor come out from there.

Sidharth stood up and run toward him.
Everyone look him with a hope but his face saying something else.

Sidharth : "doctor shehnaaz kesi hai?" He asked with fear in his heart.

Shf : "bataiye na doctor shehnaaz kesi hai?".

Shm : "aap kuch bol kiu nahi rahe". She cry more.

Doctor : "dekhiye aap log shant ho jaiye please aur meri baat dhayan se suniye dekhiye humne pehle hi kaha tha ki is surgery me unke survive karne ke sirf one percent chance hai".

Sidharth : "t...to w... wo theek hai na? Surgery successful hui na?"

Doctor : "I'm sorry but she don't have much time unka brain ye surgery nahi paya aap chahe to mil le unse".

Everyone who is standing there is totally numb after hearing him, all their hopes are crashed down. Sidharth start taking deep breathes he take the support of wall, her mother also fall down on her knees rita maa support her it's not easy for her at all. Her father and brother is standing numb their minds stop working.

Doctor : "aap log thodi der me mil lijiye ga" he say this and left.

Shehnaaz keep her head on her mother's lap she hold her her father's hand from one hand and from other she hold Sidharth's hand close to her heart. Rita maa caresses her head lovingly and shehbaaz hug her from her stomach. He cry loudly and request her not to leave them.

Sidharth is numb when shehnaaz closed her eyes. The machine show straight lines, her heart stop beating.
last lines of shehnaaz are running in his mind. Her grip on their hands get weak. Shehbaaz run to call the doctor.
Doctor enter and check her. He look at everyone and said " I'm sorry she is no more"

Everyone start crying while sidharth is silent he don't know what to do he look at shehnaaz who is laying on bed lifelessly. He patted her cheek.

Sidharth : "shehnaaz....sana.... ba... baby aakhein khol dekh mazak mat kar tujhe pata hai na mujhe ye mazak nahi pasand uth na meri jaan please de... dekh tu jo bolegi mein wo karunga Please mere liye uth ja please... i... i promise teri har baat manunga ek... ek baar uth ja please dekh... Ye ye doctor kuch bhi bol rahe hai pagal ho gaye hai uth aur bol tu theek hai sana... Sana sun rahi hai are waise to tu chup nahi hoti aur aaj bol nahi rahi" he try to wake her up at the end he shout "Shehnaaz".

The End

Kabhi To Milega,
Rasta Tera Mera
Raat Ki Hai Chadar,
Me Chup Gaya Hai Sawera,
Sun We Fakira,
Neend Se Utha De,
Mujhe Phir Se Tu.......
