In Hospital

After treating her wound, Doctors shifter Nehu into a VVIP private ward, fully surrounded by Sameer's own security team to avoid any media person's. He prefers to stay low profile but since he declared his identity in hospital, he was worried more now that sooner or later media will get the news and will disturb their privacy.

In ward, whole time he sits close to her bed holding her little soft hand and Naina on other side of the bed. Swati stays with them checking on her time and again feeling relaxed as nothing was serious but still, Nehu was unconscious and taking longer time to awake, making her parents more anxious. Even if Swati was calm and composed from outside, seeing Nehu in this condition makes her sad, who is so close to her. She was always taking care of her like her own child since her birth.

On contrary, if Naina and Swati were worried for her to awake, they were not able to figure out the turmoil going through inside him. He was way much worried and quiet now and didn't utter even a single word for so long, looks very unusual of his temperament.

Swati keeping her hand on his shoulder makes him jerked, "Sameer, she is fine and let me treat your wound also..." she said pointing towards his shoulder where he got hurt earlier but didn't bother to get treated. Nothing matters to him in front of his lifeline.

Sameer shook his head, "no, it's okay... it will be fine soon... bas Angel jaldi se theek ho jaaye..." his eyes were brimmed with tears ready to spill at any moment.

Swati replied sternly, "no ways... aapko infection ho sakta hai aur agar aapko Angel ke paas rehna hai toh you better let me treat your wound properly... otherwise mein aapko iss room mein nahin rehne dungi... aap chahte ho Nehu theek hone ki jagah aur bimaar ho jaaye..." she threatened him, suppressing her smile knowing how much her words will impact him.

Sameer shook his head instantly when Naina also came to him, "please Sameer... Nehu ki khaatir..." she said knowing very well how much extent he can go to stay close to his Angel.

Sameer nodded his head slowly and let Swati treat his wound and get dressed. Whole time his eyes glued on Angel, without making any noise, even if his wound was paining like hell. Soon his driver passed a fresh set of cloth for him as while carrying Angel in his arms, his clothes were all soaked in her blood.

Seeing Sameer going inside to change, Swati said, "Naina, tu Sameer se baat kar... OT mein itna halla macha rahe the aur ab dekh kaise ek dum chup chaap se baithe hai... hum sabko Nehu ki chinta hai lekin voh theek hai ab aur jaldi hi hosh bhi aa jayega... mein ek patient ko dekhne ja rahi hoon and I hope mere aane tak Nehu bhi hosh mein aa jaayegi..."

Naina nodded her head slowly, "I know lekin pata nahin Sameer itna chup kyun hai... jab se Nehu ko chot lagi hai inhone ek boond paani bhi nahin piya aur bas ek tak usey dekhe jaa rahe hai... aise toh kahin Sameer hi bimaar na padh jaaye... vaise bhi unhein hospital mein rehna bilkul pasand nahin lekin yeh sab..." she was feeling helpless as how to handle both her lifelines.

One is injured and other one seems to be much more distressed than required. Sameer earlier was always an overbearing, confident and ruthless businessman, who never cares about anyone except his loved ones, but now he has completely changed into a caring, soft-hearted, loving father and can't see his little one even in slight pain at all.

Sameer's eyes didn't avert for a second from her cute angelic face, missing her non-stop chatter. Naina stands beside him keeping her hand on his shoulder, "Sameer, please aap thodi der rest kar lijiye, tab tak mein iske paas baithati hoon... aur Swati ne kaha hai na ki she is fine... aapko chinta karne ki koi jarurat nahin, lekin aise toh aap bhi bimaar padh jayenge... please don't stress yourself so much..."

Sameer keeping his other hand on hers, "kaise chinta na karun jab yeh sab meri galti ki wajah se hua hai... I am sorry Naina... it's all my fault..." saying this he burst into tears making her more shocked. Little did she imagine that he was holding himself responsible for the mishap.

Naina turning him to her side cupped his face, "kaisi baatein kar rahe hai aap... yeh ek accident hai aur iss mein kisi ki bhi koi galti nahin... bachche toh yun hi khelte huye dhyaan nahin rakhte aur Nehu toh vaise bhi kitni shaitaan hai... dekha tha na kaise sab ko apne saath khel mein laga rakha tha..."

Sameer shook his head, "nahin, saari galti meri hi hai... mujhe Angel ki itani yaad aa rahi thi ki tumhare mana karne par bhi mein usey resort le aaya... mujhe uska dhyaan rakhna chahiye tha... maine hi usey football khelne ke liye kaha aur yun usey akela chhod kar chala gaya... agar mein uske saath hota toh yeh sab nahin hota... it's all my fault... it's all my carelessness that she is in so much pain... she trusts me so much but I failed... mein ek achchha Papa nahin ban paaya..." he lowered his eyes feeling ashamed on his failure to keep her safe.

Naina lifting his face in her palms wiped tears from his cheeks, "khabardaar jo apne aap ko dosh diya toh... aap apni Angel ke Super Hero Papa ho aur hamesha rahoge... bhale hi aap donon kuchh din pehle mile ho lekin dil toh ek dusre se kab se jude hai... mein Maa hoon lekin usey apnepan ka ehsaas sabse pehle aapse mila hai..." she smiled recalling when Sameer narrates that how Angel help him to wake her up from coma, while still in her womb. His little cozy secret about the time he spends talking with Angel, whenever found Naina in deep sleep.

Naina bent slowly giving a soft peck on his lips smiled, "aapko pata hai, bachpan se hi aapki beti aapse itna dur hote huye bhi sirf aapki lori sunkar soti thi... aapke saath hone ka ehsaas hi hum donon ko sukoon ki neend deta tha... shayad isliye usne kabhi mujhse apne Papa se milne ki zid nahin ki kyunki voh apne Papa ko dil se mehsoos karti thi... usey ummid thi ki aap ek din jarror uske paas honge, uske sabse kareeb... aur usey itna pyaar denge ki saalon ki kami ek hi din mein poori kar denge... sach kahun toh Nehu hamesha se fun loving rahi hai, kabhi mujhe pareshaan nahin kiya lekin jo Khushi uske chehre par pichhle kuchh dinon mein aayi hai voh maine kabhi nahin dekhi thi..." her words startled Sameer for a moment, making him realize how much he was always close to her heart.

Keeping her hand on his heart she said, "aap donon ka rishta toh dil se juda hai na... toh phir yeh apne aap ko dosh dena bandh kijiye kyunki aap ka dil jaanta hai ki anjaane mein bhi aap apni Angel ko ek kharonch tak nahin aane de sakte... yeh ek accident hai lekin itna serious bhi nahin ki aap uski surgery karwaye ya usey blood transfusion ki jarurat pade... pata hai aapne Doctor's ko kitna pareshaan kiya hai aaj..." she laughed mocking on his earlier reaction to make him finally smile a little.

Sameer holding her hand lovingly, "thanks Naina, mujhe samajhane ke liye... mujhe laga tum kahin mujhse naraaz na ho jaao... lekin I promise mein aage se Angel ka aur bhi achchhe se khayal rakhunga..."

Naina looked at the sleeping figure, "aapko mujhe yakeen dilane ki koi jarurat nahin aakhir aapki jaan jo basti hai Nehu mein... vaise bhi mujhe pata hai jab voh aas paas hoti hai toh aap mujhe bhi bhool jaate hai..." she made a cute pout trying her best to divert his mind a little. Hearing him feeling to be in guilt makes her heart pained more.

Sameer still in worries asked, "Naina, kitni der ho gayi hai aur abhi tak Angel ko hosh nahin aaya... mujhe abhi bhi lag raha hai ki humein second opinion le lena chahiye... I mean, I trust Swati but may be..." he stopped instantly seeing her fluttering her eyelashes.

They both quickly turned to her either side closely, "Nehu... Angel..." they both called her lovingly.

Angel opened her eyes slowly looking at her parents worried face muttered slowly, "Papa..." her mere one word makes his tears started flowing uncontrollably. Naina's eyes couldn't stop shedding tears seeing their bond that she took his name firstly after opening her eyes. Somehow, she recalled how years back, after herself being in coma she also took Sameer's name first.

He whispers slowly, "Angel... my baby... how are you... aap theek ho na bachcha... kahin dard toh nahin ho raha..." he said softly caressing her head ensuring not to touch her wound.

Angel replied slowly, "Papa, please don't cry..." she looked towards her mother who was also no less than a crying mess, "Mumma, please don't cry..." she tried to lift her little hand but flinched slightly.

Sameer quickly holds her hand softly pressed back on bed, "shhh... baby aap hilo mat... there's a syringe in your hand..." he said pointing towards the needle.

Angel blinked her eyes feeling drowsy again when Sameer quickly pressed the button to call Doctors to come and check on her. Soon Swati entered with nurse. She smiled caressing her head asked, "how are you my champ... dard toh nahin hai na jyaada..." she asked checking her vitals and examining if she had any other issues.

Angel replied slowly, "maasi mujhe dard..."

Before she completes Sameer urged, "see, she is still in pain... why don't you..." he shut his mouth instantly finding a hard glare on him.

Swati shook her head in annoyance seeing him again in panic mode but turned her attention back to little one asking, "bachche pain hai kya jyaada... aap toh meri brave baby ho na..." she said softly caressing her head controlling her own emotional outburst, as seeing her in pain is unbearable for her also. But someone must keep in sense to handle the situation.

Angel shook her head, "nahin maasi... pain nahin mujhe pyaas lagi hai..." she said making everyone relief especially to the restless souls.

Sameer quickly filled a cup of water and lifted her slightly to make her drink few sips. He made her lie down again when Swati said sternly, "usey thoda pain rahega thodi der, lekin better you behave properly and don't make a fuss again... mujhe tum donon ki ek bhi shikayat nahin chahiye... samjhe..." she warned both of them who were more difficult to handle than the little one.

Sameer nodded his head keeping his eyes to little one. Soon nurse came with soup for her. Sameer let her sit in his lap keeping her in his arms softly, let Naina feed her. Even if she was reluctant both coaxed her to let her drink whole soup. Soon she again drift back into deep slumber making them all relieved.

Swati nudged her elbow to Naina whispers, "Nehu is fine lekin I think Sameer should take some rest... why don't you both go back & I will take care of Nehu... isi bahane thodi der hospital mein shaanti rahegi..." she laughed slowly looking at him.

Naina shook her head, "Sameer nahin maanenge... unhone toh paani bhi nahin piya itani der se... voh Nehu ko chhod kar kahin nahin jaane waale... I know tu Nehu ka khud se bhi jyaada dhyaan rakhegi lekin Sameer aur mera dil nahin lagega uske bina ghar mein... bhale hi voh so rahi hai lekin voh theek hai aur hamari najron ke saamne toh hai..."

She smiled wiping corner of her eyes, "tujhe pata hai Swati, jab hamari shaadi huyi thi toh Pandit bhaiya ne mujhe bataya tha ki he has some phobia... hospital ke naam se hi darr jaate the aur bhale hi kitne bhi bimaar ho khud ke liye hospital nahin jaate the, lekin mere liye pehli baar poori raat hospital mein ruke the jabki hamare beech bohot se differences the... aur aaj phir se ek baar apni Angel ke liye bina kisi darr ke, kuchh bhi soche samjhe bina, uske saath yahaan hospital mein ruke huye hai... apno ki khaatir Sameer kisi bhi hadd tak jaa sakte hai aur phir Nehu toh unki jaan hai..."

Swati smiled rolling her eyes sarcastically making fun, "hmm... unke pyaar ka namuna toh maine kya poore hospital ne aaj dekh liya... believe me, sab hans rahe hai and no one is ready to believe that he is The Sameer Maheshwari, CEO of Maheshwari Industries... jis tarah ek chhoti si chot par Sameer panic huye the, utani toh Nehu bhi nahin hoti..."

Taking a deep sigh looking ahead the loving father and daughter she said, "vaise manana padge kismat ka khel... Sameer aur Nehu ka rishta sirf dil aur jajbaaton ka hi nahin, khoon ka bhi hai... can't believe lekin donon ka blood group bhi same hai... chalo achchha hai tera na sahi lekin Sameer ka blood group toh Nehu se match karta hai..." Swati laughed slowly recollecting when Sameer asked for blood transfusion for a minor wound.

Naina startled with realization which she didn't noticed earlier, "how can this be possible... Sameer aur Nehu na sirf ek dusre se dil se jude hai balki donon ki resemblance bhi ek jaisi hai... they both looks so much alike that no one doubted till date that they have no blood relation... aur aaj pata chala ki unka blood group bhi same hai whereas mera aur Nehu ka blood group alag hai... how can so much coincidences possible when they both have no relation by blood..." she was totally confused but can't voice out her thoughts with anyone. Even if Sameer and Nehu are not blood related, she was contented seeing their bonding and love for each other.

They both chatted for few minutes when a nurse came inside carrying a tray of food. Swati took the tray inside handing it to Naina, "yeh maine tum donon ke liye khaana yahin mangwaya hai... ab bina behes kiye chup chap se donon kha lo varna tu jaanti hai na mera gussa... aur ab toh tere Mr Handsome Maheshwari bhi darrte hai mujhse..." she said raising her chin highly feeling proud to make the most powerful person scare of her.

"And I will see you all soon... mujhe ek patient ko dekhna hai..." saying this she went outside leaving them alone. Naina insisted her to go back home and take some rest, but Swati denied before leaving, "ghar mein Nehu ke bina toh mera dil bhi nahin lagega... ab toh sab saath hi ghar jayenge... aur ab toh mujhe iss hospital ke Doctors or staff ki bhi security ka dhyaan rakhna padega ... kya pata kab tere hero ka panic mode on ho jaaye aur sabki parade karwa de..." they both laughed recalling how much ruckus he had created for such a small matter, but can't deny that how much he loves his little cute munchkin.

Naina brings the food inside, closing the door behind seeing Sameer still not averted his eyes from little one, not feeling even her presence around. She placed the food tray on table nearby couch at the corner to rest.

Naina holding his arm, "Sameer, chaliye mere saath aur kuchh khaa lijiye... dekhiye Swati ne khaana bheja hai aur aap jaante hai na voh kitna gussa karegi agar hum donon ne khaana nahin khaaya toh..." she said with a smile to convince him to eat a little. Even if she herself lost her appetite but seeing Sameer so much vulnerable, making her heart shattered more.

Before he denied she said, "please... aapki Angel ki khaatir khaa lijiye... kal subah jab voh aankhen kholegi toh uske Papa bhi energetic hone chahiye na uske saath time spent karne ke liye..."

Sameer looked at the sleeping figure, nodded his head knowing if he denies more, even Naina will not eat anything, and he will never let he stay empty stomach. They both settled on the couch and Naina quickly served simple but healthy food for them in one plate.

Naina feeds him with her own hand seeing him not reacting much, said, "Sameer, ek baat bataiye, jab mujhe bullet lagi thi tab bhi kya aapne aise hi hospital mein hungama machaya tha... mein toh behosh thi isliye mujhe pata nahin lekin aaj ka trailor dekh kar mein imagine kar sakti hoon aapne tab kya kiya hoga... infact tab toh Swati jaisa koi saath bhi nahin tha jo aapko dara kar chup kar deta..." she winked trying to divert his mind.

Sameer smiled a little realizing her efforts to lessen his pain, "jab tum behosh meri baahon mein thi toh meri toh jaise saanse hi ruk gayi thi... meri wajah se tumhein goli lagi, iss baat se toh mere hosh hi udd gaye the... mujhe kuchh pata hi nahin chala ki kab hum hospital pahunche, aur kaise tumhein stretcher par shift karke OT mein le gaye... voh toh Pandit mere saath tha varna..." he pauses feeling pain that how much helpless he had felt at that moment.

Naina kept her hand on his, "lekin uss bure waqt mein bhi aapne mera saath nahin chhoda... apane darr se ladhkar bhi mere liye poori raat hospital mein ruke, jab tak mujhe hosh nahin aaya... mujhe yaad hai kaise jab mujhe pehle baar hosh aaya toh aap mere paas the, sabse kareeb... aapke chehre ki shikan bata rahi thi ki aap kitne tensed the mere liye..."

She continued after a brief pause looking straight into his eyes, "vaise hi jaise aaj aap Nehu ka haath nahin chhod rahe the... sach kahun toh hamesha se Nehu ko takleef mein dekh kar mein bohot jyaada darr jaati thi... usko jara sa bukhar bhi mujhe kai din bechain rakhta tha, lekin aaj... aaj mujhe koi darr nahin tha kyunki aaj mein aur Nehu akele nahin the... kyunki aaj aap hamare saath the... jo kabhi kuchh galat nahin hone denge..."

Sameer looked at her amusingly that how easily she always realized his feelings, but still feeling guilty, "lekin aaj toh meri Angel ko chot lag hi gayi na... dekho na kitni der se uski awaaz bhi nahin suni... I mean ek baar bas voh theek ho jaaye... you know aaj hi hum amusement park ka plan bana rahe the aur yeh dekho kya ho gaya..." his eyes brimmed again thinking how she got injured.

Naina replied with a serious expression, "haan toh chalenge na amusement park... after all mujhe donon bachchon ki khushi ka dhyaan jo rakhna hai..."

Sameer asked confusingly, "do bachche... lekin mujhe toh Angel ne nahin bataya ki koi aur bhi hamare saath aane wala hai... uski koi friend hai kya..."

Naina holding her smile replied, "friend toh nahin, lekin uske buddhu se handsome, hero Papa jo saath jayenge... ab harkate toh donon ki ek jaisi hi hai na, bas size mein difference hai..."

She laughed slowly seeing his sulking face, "aur kya... donon ka favorite food ek jaisa hai... favorite sports same hai... donon ko mujhe satane mein maja aata hai aur aaj pata chala ki donon ka blood group bhi same hai... toh huye na donon mere baby..." she said playfully squeezing his nose.

Sameer finally smiled on her cute attempts, "ek cheez aur common hai ki hum donon ke paas ek cute, pyaari, beautiful, caring and loving Naina hai... jo hamesha se apne dard aur takleef ko bhula kar sabke dil ka haal bhi jaan leti hai aur sabke chehre par pyaari si smile bhi le aati hai... jo sirf aur sirf pyaar dena jaanti hai..." he said pulling her in a soft hug giving a kiss on her head, "thank you meri jaan... I love you both so much..."

Naina smiled hugging him back finally feeling relieved seeing his killing smile back on his face, which was missing for so long. Even if she was worried for Nehu, seeing Sameer so distressed was making her more stressful, "love you too jaan..."

Whole night spent waiting for her to awake again but with heavy dose of medicine she slept peacefully, leaving her parents awaked for whole night staring her cute face.
