It took few minutes for sonakshi to sense what was going around her and the moment she opened her eyes, she saw the full moon smiling at her happily. That made her feel so calm and glad.

Sonakshi could sense some internal bleeding in her stomach and feared, the moment she looked at dev she felt better.

He was still trying to comfort her sitting on the staircase outside the old, dirty lab. He was holding tightly close to his chest and trying to keep her eyes open, she hardly was able to analyse what was going around her.

"How did I even get out?" Her voice came out like a whisper, she was hardly able to breathe. "I carried you." He placed kiss on her lips again and carried her to the ambulance.

Dev made sona rest on the stretcher and sat beside her, he tried to take the knife out her stomach as the ambulance kept on moving to the hospital.

"That's paining." She screamed and didn't let him take the knife out of her stomach. "Who asked you to do like this? Stupid." He yelled at her, he was getting scared to look at her in pain. "Stop scolding, the already sick human" she was trying to close her eyes again.

"Look at me, stay awake" he kept on telling those words to her and checked on her heart beat which was still stable.

"Why are you troubling me? I'm tired." She closed her not being able to keep her eyes open. "Look at me, am I that boring that you can't keep on looking at me for few minutes" he silently moved her hair strands in her forehead. "You look handsome, you're the hottest guy for me in this world and listen, I love to stare at you but this pain..." She still didn't open her eyes but kept on speaking few things to him. "Thanks, doll. Keep on speaking to me. Talk." He forced to atleast speak to him, dropping his head closer to her face, he heard her speak softly in his ears.

"Don't cry, dev, I will always love to know you as a tough guy. Aren't you the toughest guy I'm dealing?" She asked sensing his tears drop on her face. "Right." He smiled, she understood the pain behind his smile even with her closed eyes.

"I'm sorry for my silly mistakes and don't worry about me I will be fine" she assured him, taking his hands inside her's. "How can I be," he questioned her and didn't reply him but rather kissed his hands taking near her lips.

Within few minutes they reached the hospital, she was rushed into the emergency ward and Dev held her hands tightly as she started to get scared. "Don't leave my hands" she held his hands even more tighter with all the force she had.

"Don't be nervous, things will be fine. I love you" Dev calmed sonakshi down and left her hands for her to get her treatment done. The doctors immediately surrounded her and tried taking her inside the ICU.

"First treat him, he was shot, please treat him" she begged the doctors pointing at dev. "I'm fine, honestly." He assured and ordered the nurse to take her in for the treatment. "You need help, get that" she screamed loudly and he just moved away from her so that she goes on for the treatment. "Let's check on you" the nurse said, Sonakshi was taken inside the ICU for treatment.

"How did this happen dev? Is it a murder?" The doctors questioned him, dev didn't reply them anything and moved inside his cabin. "I need to dress my wounds first." He locked the door, removing his shirt, he took a knife and pierced it against his skin to remove the bullets he had on his body. It was really hard for him to bare the pain and still perform a surgery for himself without seeking anyone's help. He took three bullets from his upper abdomen and one bullet from his chest, looking at the bullets he took out, he felt it was all because sonakshi didn't trust him. She was always hard to predict for him. "What made you think like you shouldn't depend on me?" He stitched his wounds and questioned her in his mind. It was hard for him to accept that she sent off all the guards he arranged and even kept Vicky away from her. When Dev came to know sonakshi's madness he got angry on her and felt like giving a tight slap for her stupidity. He stitched all the cuts in his body, applied medicines for the rest of the wounds in his forehead, leg and arms.

Dev gulped a glass of water from his desk, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath and as he always had an additional Shirt in his cupboard, he changed his clothes which was filled with blood strains of sonakshi and his.

He moved out of his cabin after taking 2mins rest, he went on to check on Sonakshi and looked kunal coming out from the ICU with great relief.

"She has a pulse?" Dev asked kunal who came out exhausted. "She's fine" he felt like those were the beautiful words In English language, he felt better and followed kunal to his cabin.

"Dev, your wife has suffered from immense pleading and we have managed to stop it with great difficulty. She isn't allowing anyone to remove the Bullet from her back, she is behaving like a kid and slapped two nurses hands. One more thing, her ruptured spleen caused a miscarriage and don't worry there is a no need to remove her spleen." Kunal's words made dev's head just spin, he did not know how to react and silently looked at the other doctor who entered inside kunal's cabin.

"We can't give her one more anesthesia, she's fragile and it's really hard to take the bullet our out of her body due to her constant protest." Dev just took few seconds and immediately rushed inside the ICU. He looked at sonakshi who was fighting and screaming. She looked really frightened, he really didn't know to calm her down and moved closer to her huge steps. "Doll" he placed his hands near her stomach. "Devvv, are you fine? Did you take treatment?" Asked him still suffering with her own pains. "I will never be fine until you are fine" he helped her get up from the and sit straight on the bed towards the side. "Give the smallest knife" he passed information to his nurse to hand over the huge knife she held in her hands. "Rest you're chin on my shoulder" he commanded her and she hugged him tight, placed her chin on his shoulder bending her head down. "Now, don't concentrate on the pain. Keep speaking to me." He instructed to her, she screamed in pain. "Doll, don't sing." He teased the way she screamed out of fear and inserted the knife inside her back. He made sure she wasn't shaking her body and tightly held her close to him.

Her hands silently moved near his wounds to check on him, the shirt was transparent enough make her sense his stitches even though she wasn't able to look at them. "Do feel any pain, doll, I took the bullet out and I need to just do tiny stitches." He kissed her head grabbing the needle and made her listen to his heart beat knowing it will decrease her fears. "Do you seriously perform surgeries like this?" She questioned him looking at the way how close he was holding her and casually handling thinks around him. "Are you doubting me?" He pierced the needle inside her skin and started to perform the stitches. "No, it's so,just understand. This is completely different." She rested her behind his waist, waiting for him to speak something. "These type of surgeries are exclusively for you." He said and she started to blush hard. "You seriously don't need to give an anesthesia, looking at you, this charm I feel so drowsy." She giggled as he quickly placed a kiss on her cheek before anyone could look at him, rubbed his back gently. "I'm sorry, I love you" she apologised for making him panic and he completed her stitches.

"I forgive you but don't repeat it again. Listen to me." He placed the needle down and made sonakshi break from the tight hug. "I love you too, doll" he cupped her face and looked deep into her eyes.

"Shift her to the general ward" dev ordered and went out of the ICU.

Dev again went to kunal's cabin to enquire about sonakshi's miss carriage. "Tell me a about her miscarriage again" he requested kunal. "Just 2weeks foetus Dev, it didn't impact sonakshi much. When she gets pregnant in the future she should be extra careful due to her ruptured spleen, I didn't remove the damaged part as I feel like it would heal naturally." His words calmed dev. "Don't tell sonakshi about the 2weeks old foetus, I don't want her to feel like a murderer." Dev's words didn't make kunal convinced about it. "She should know, you can't hide it from her and it's risky" kunal said hoping dev will understand, he was firm in his decision of sonakshi not knowing about the miscarriage.

"What happened? Dev, who tried to murder her?" Kunal got astonished looking at sonakshi's huge injuries. "I don't have time to explain you, check the news." Dev walked out of his cabin. He came like a lightening and went like a lightening, too quick.
Kunal got scared thinking what did they both actually do to come in the news? He was already curious to know about it.

Dev entered inside Sonakshi's ward, he looked at her stare at the wall and the sun rays hit her face. Dev quickly closed all the curtains in the ward and came closer to sonakshi, he sat on the bed beside her hip.

"Doll, you scared me for a while, Don't you dare do that to me again. What would I have been without you? Did you atleast think about me before chasing every gaurd?" He took her hands on his and softly rubbed her hands. "Dev, in my life I never took anyone's help, Even this time I didn't want to be depended on someone, I feared if I depend on you, I might lose and I thought of facing it alone. That still doesn't mean I don't trust you" She opened her arms for him, asked him to come and rest his head on her chest. "I still feel guilty, it's just because of me you got this much gun shot, I'm sorry" she said securely holding him closer to her, she rubbed her hands on his forehead and placed a kiss. "You shouldn't feel guilty for this, just the way you took the bullet to save me, I did for you, my wife" his words made her feel so comfortable, she held his arm tightly and felt better.

Sonakshi broke the hug as she sensed someone open the door. "I know you might be feeling sleepy due to the drugs but before that just let me examine you." The duty doctor sat next to sonakshi in a chair beside her as dev moved back.

"We had to operate to stop the bleeding. Your spleen is damaged too. The surgery went very well. You need to rest now, no sudden movements, just try to relax and let your body recover, More over don't carry heavy weight," the doctor explained, examining her stomach. Sonakshi's eyes widened at the news, almost as if she hadn't realised she was that hurt.
"Don't get scared thinking you can't heavy shopping bags, I will carry them for you"Dev said that to her, he was hurt looking at her dull face a decided to brighten up them.
The doctor scribbled some notes on her chart. "Well, if you need me, I'll be doing my rounds. I'll get someone to come and give you something for the pain. If you get tired, sonakshi, sleep. And absolutely no getting out of bed for minimum a month," she instructed before heading out of the room.

"Dev, I feel so irritated" she called him closer to her. The body pain annoyed her and she was feeling hard to even rest on the bed.

The moment he was standing close to her bed, she said "Come lie with me," she whispered, trying to shift over for her but not really getting anywhere. Dev climbed on the bed, being careful not to show her that it hurt him to move, his wounds were also making it hard for him, she didn't need to know that. He lay down next to her, and they looked into each other's eyes for a while before she spoke. "Are you really okay?" she asked, trailing her fingers over his face. He nodded his head in "yes".

"Dev, you were shot, show me your wounds, remove this shirt" she wanted him remove his shirt and examined his wounds. "Is it paining?" She asked with her eyes filled with tears to him. "No" his
Way of covering up the pain didn't work with her. "Don't lie" she scolded rolling her eyes over his wounds. "Alright, alright, it hurts, is that what you want to hear?" He accepted to her. "But I don't care as long as you're safe and here with me. If you're with me I can face any pain." she smiled hearing his words.
Her hands hesitantly caught the bottom of his T-shirt, easing it up slowly. She needed to see the damage that had been caused and that too by herself, she needed to check he was alright. He chuckled wickedly, looking at her hands play with his shirt buttons. "I don't think either of us will be able to do that much physical exercise this soon." he joked. She laughed and nodded, deciding to play along. "Hmm, I guess you're right," she agreed. "But if you have a need for it, let me know," she added, smiling suggestively at him.

Her hand tugged on the shirt again, pulling it down, so she could see his wound. "What are you actually doing,?" he asked, putting his hand on top of her's.

"I need to see how badly you're hurt. I'm imagining all sorts of things," she muttered. "I'm fine, doll." He signed but she wasn't convinced. "I wouldn't be able to rest easy without seeing it for myself, Like how you panicked looking at my scars can't I have the same feelings?" she yelled at him for not exposing his wounds. He frowned, seeming a little hesitant as his hand held her's still, not letting her remove his shirt. "Dev, let me see." She order and this time it wasn't her demand.

He sighed okay and rolled his eyes again, taking a deep breath. She removed his shirt off. She felt broken looking at the uneven and not so perfect stitches. "These stitches make me panic. Are you seriously fine?" She yet again tried to confirm with him. She longed to kiss every square inch of his chest, every stitches, every little cut on his forehead and mark on his arms, to try and kiss the pain away.

Sonakshi moved her face closer to his chest and tightly held his arm. She placed a kiss on his chest, the wound was fresh enough to make him scream in pain. "Auchhh" she got scared, she looked into his eyes asking for his reasons to scream. "It's still fresh" he wiped the tears from her eyes, she started to cry for his pains and he looked at her helpless.

"Please don't cry. Everything's okay now, nothing's going to hurt you ever again. " He assured and tried hard to console her.

She gripped his shirt tightly as if he was going to run away. "You saved me." Her body trembled, he held her tightly against him, waiting for her tears to subside. Dev didn't need her gratitude, but he wasn't going to say no to the tight hugs!

"Are you really fine?" She wasn't still believing him to be okay, he felt like she was over imagining about his wounds and made her understand he is okay.

"I'm alright, stop worrying about me." He scolded, "I can't, I will never." She smiled widely.

Kunal cleared his throat to make his presence known. "Hi, sona. Better Now?" He asked taking hold of her hands and Dev moved off from the bed.

"Yes, I'm" she replied.

"Dev, I can't understand the breaking news" kunal said and Dev switched on the TV, inside Sonakshi's ward.

"Yes, stay with sona. We can speak later. I will see you, afternoon" kunal took leave from both of them.

"Okay, I'm staying with you." She kissed his forehead as he came closer to her face.
