Sanyuktas eyes was continuously flowing. Pain, helplessness and fear clearly visible on her face. No one could explain the condition of the one who sees his loved one in trouble and not able to do anything. She was feeling no less.

That group of passengers were taken to the executive class with two hijackers and they locked the door.

Inside executive class

H1: abhi tak koi response nhi aaya. Kya karen?

The other one having the knife attacked a person from the group and opened the cockpit door for the pilots to witness the same.
The pilots were horrified and connected to the ministry through video conferencing.

M: we told you to give us some time, you can't kill people like this.

H: we want our work done by any means and this is the result of your carelessness for not replying.
The person stabbed was in a half conscious state and crying with pain.

The people on the other side had no clue what was happening in there. No voices were coming.

An old man suddenly had an asthma attack. His wife stood up to take the pump from the bag but the hijacker interrupted

H: chup chaap baith jao

L: pls inka pump nikalne do nhi to ye behosh ho jayenge.

H: ek baari baat nhi samajh ati, behosh hi hoga or agar apni jagah se koi hila to ( he pointed his gun towards the old man)
The lady gasped and sat down comforting her husband and rubbing his back continously.

People were numb and not able to react. This was the worst thing that could happen with anyone. These ruthless killers kill innocent people just to establish their superiority and promote terror.

They landed on the Dubai Airport for refuelling.
Refuelling was taking extra time than usual. It was more than an hour but it was undone. In a fit of rage two of them attacked two more persons sitting in the executive class. One was brutally stabbed by the knife while the other was directly shot in the head.

Here Sanyukta suddenly woke up as if something wrong has happened and something is snatched from her. She just prayed to god for Randhirs well being. She couldn't even cry as her tears were dried up.
____________________________

Soon the news of the hijack spread like a fire in the nation . Breaking news of every channel stated " Indian airline flight IC318 coming from nepal hijacked" .
Aggarwals and shekhawats were worried for their children. Both ladies were not able to control their tears while the other two were trying every possible contact through which they could get as much info as possible.
_____________________________

The ministry video confressed with the hijackers where they came to know about a killed person and two being injured. They somehow convinced them to release few passenger as it would take some time for the procedures to take place.
They released the 3 attacked persons , ladies and kids.

Sanyukta got down from the plane and the released people were taken to another aircraft. It had already been so many hours she had seen HIM and above that the strange feeling she was getting was making her impatient. They were informed about the attackings and the death of young man.
The stretchers came and the first was the dead body. Sanyukta kept her hand on the mouth to control her scream.
Sheet covering his face got displaced and she let out a muffle realising that it was not her Randhir.
But the next which came made the ground beneath her skip. It was Randhir who was brutally stabbed and he was moving in pain not in his consciousness. She held his hand and let her dam of tears broke.
Realising it to be her hand he opened his eyes slowly yet not completely. He smiled looking at her and she was confused.

S: you have to keep your promise. Understood you have to okay.

R: plss Next Time... Maybe he spoke with lot of difficulty

S: shut up and keep your eyes open. We are going to the hospital . Nothing will happen to you.

The authorities made them get down the plane realising that they may lose him if they travelled to India now. He was been taken to the Dubai hospital. He was rushed to the operation theater while she sat outside.

Main rahoon ya naa rahoon
Tu mujhme kahin baaki rehna
Mujhe nind aaye jo aakhri
Tum khwaabon mein aate rehna

Bas itna hai tumse kehna
Bas itna hai tumse kehna

Kisi roz baarish jo aaye
Samajh lena boondon mein main hu
Subah dhoop tumko sataye
Samajh lena kirno me main hu

Kuch kahoon ya na kahun
Tum mujhko sadaa sunte rehnaaa

( these were the words they were conveying to each other)

Bas itna hai tumse kehna

She saw nurses running here and there . She asked one of them.
N: maam the patient is not responding. We are at the last stage of giving him an electric shock.

Sanyu turned into a lifeless soul hearing this and peeped through the door.
S: Randhir you have to live for me . Plss come back. Please don't leave me.

Hawaaon mein lipta hua mein
Guzar jaunga tumko chuu ke
Agar man ho to rok lena
Thehar jaunga in labon pe

Main dikhun ya na dikhun
Tum mujhko mehsoos karna
Bas itna hai tumse kahna

Main rahoon ya naa rahoon
Tum mujhme kahi baaki rehnaa

The light of the OT went off and the doctor came out smiling.

D: i think its a miracle in itself that he is alive now and out of danger inspite of so many wounds and mainly a cut on the juglar vein.

she was overjoyed and hugged the doctor without realising it. The doctor who was an old man kept his hand on her head and she released herself chipping a sorry and a thank you.

D: nurse will tell you every medicine and precautions to be followed and yes we will shift him to India tomorrow.

Sanyu went inside the ICU and sat beside him. He was under the effect of sedatives so he was sleeping.

She called home and told that every thing is fine and they'll be coming back soon.
______________________

It was one month to that incident and Randhir was recovering. Sanyu never left his side in this one month.

The plane was under the hijackers for total of 8 days but their wishes were full filled with their head's release.
No-one was harmed other than those three but still an innocent lost his life in the difference of two parties.
People still were not able to get over this incident which is now imprinted in their minds forever.
