Shayaan's POV:-

"Haniya is Rameen's sister" I was so shocked and my heart was beating really fast as if it will come out any second breaking my ribcage.

The thought of her leaving all of us, leaving me, was giving my heart a restlessness and my mind was exploding with so many thoughts.

"Shayaan come out dear! We have reached" Aunty shook my shoulder and I gave a nod. Coming out of the car I shut my eyes.

I am too affraid!!

Sighing deep we stepped inside the hospital. With every step I was taking my heart beat was accelerating a bit more. There was an unknown fear which was engulfing me.

Rameen asked the receptionist about the details.

"Mam! The boy is safe, only his arm is hurt but..." the receptionist said and I noticed Rameen taking a sigh of relief.

"But?" I asked.

"The girl is seriously injured. She has fractures in her arms and legs. When she was brough here she was soaking in blood. Currently she is in operation threater. Hope for the best!!" She replied and I felt as if my heart stopped beating. My eyes stung as tears welled up.

No Haniya!! Don't go, I want to apologize for hurting you. I..I will never be able forgive myself if you will leave me hanging like this.
Never!!!

I was hating myself for hurting her! For ruining our friendship only because of my ego.

I'm sorry!! I'm so sorry Haniya.

"My daughter!!" Aunty let out the tears she was holding since she heard about the accident. Rameen tried to console her and made her sure that God will help us and everything will be ok. Tears were rolling down her eyes too.

"God please save her!!" I threw my head in my hands and sat at the nearly placed chair.

"Shayaan" Salman's voice was heard and I ran towards him. Throwing my arms in his neck I hugged him tight as now I sighed.

"Its ok Shayaan! I'm ok" he patted my back but I didn't feel like letting him go or breaking the hug. Deep down my heart was sinking for Haniya.

"Haniya!!" It slipped my mouth while I was still hugging Salman.

Its so damn hard losing our loved ones.

"You know her??" Salman asked and I broke the hugg.

"She is my f..friend!!" I stuttered wiping my face and he nodded.

Was!!.....

I wish I havn't behaved like a freaking idiot!! I wish she will forgive me for my mistake.

"Salman thank God you are ok! I must have died if...." Rameen said as she hiccuped. Salman moved to her and cupped her face.

"Shhh!!" He hugged her forgetting about the surroundings and soon broke the hug as realization hit him.

"I..I'm sorry aunty it was all because of me" Salman hung his head low feeling guilty cursing himself for all this under his breath.

"No my son its not your fault! It was all written in fate" Aunty wiped her tears and assured him that its not because of him so he should not blame himself for whatever happend.

"Mister Salman?" A doctor came from the OT and addressed Salman coming closer.

"How is my sister? Please say she is safe, she will be well soon. Right??" Before Salman could answer Rameen bombarded him with questions more like assuring herself that her other half is ok.

"I'm sorry to let you know that your sister is in severe condition. She has lost too much blood and her skull is badly damaged. The operation is successfull but there are very less chances that she will survive! Only if she open her eyes till tomorrow she can and otherwise....." he left the sentence in middle as he put his hand on Salman's shoulder.

"What are you saying doctor? It can't be true!!" Rameen fell on her knees and started screaming asking for mercy from God.

I can't take it any more.

Taking heavy steps with uneven breaths I marched out of the hospital building. Sun rays fell on my already sore eyes as I looked up at the sky asking for help. Pleading to God to save her!!.

I have never cried in my entire life! I'm crying because I'm sorry, because I can't bear to lose you Haniya! I just can't......

I sat at one of the benches in the garden of the hospital. The time I spent with her was replaying in my mind. Her words, her nerdy looks, her concern towards her friends and the last words she mouthed to me.

"You are too good Miss Haniya! Aren't you?"

"You are such a  flirt Mister Shayaan! Aren't you?"

"You are hurting me...."

I wanted to scream but nothing could come out of my mouth. Hours passed by and I was still sitting there. It was getting cold as the sun settled down. Chills were running down my spine but I wrapped my arms around my body feeling nothing.

..

Salman's POV:-

Somehow I was able to hush Rameen up from her constant crying. My heart ached seeing her that helpless. I can't see tears in here eyes.

How can I be so irresponsible Damn it!!!

Haniya was shifted to another ward and soon the doctor gave us permission to see her.

Only then I realized Shayaan was nowhere to be seen.

Where has he gone? Must be outside.

I sighed and walked outside of the building. The sight infront of me just made me halt in my tracks in shock and worry.

Shayaan was sitting on one of the benches wrapping his arms around his body. His knees were close to his chest and his face resting on his wrapped arms. His eyes were red and puffed.

He has cried? Shayaan Ahmed has cried. Ohhh my Gosh!!

"Shayaan what is wrong with you? Please Shayaan don't lose hope bro. God will fix everything" I sat with him and wrapped my arm around him pulling him close.

"If she will n..never wake up Salman! I will n...never be able to forgive myself for my stupidity. I c..can't bear to lose a friend like her! She is m..my bookworm!!" Shayaan manged to speak in his cracking voice.

I have never seen him crying like this in my entire life!! That only because of a girl who he is calling his friend?
She is much more only if he knows...

"Ohhh I forgot to tell you that you can go and see her" I told him and he hurriedly got up.

Holding my hand, dragging me along by taking impatient steps he marched inside the building and in no time we reached at the door of her room.

Rameen and Aunty were sitting on the sofa placed near the patient bed. Rameen's head was resting on her mother's shoulder.

"Haniya!!" Shayaan gasped as soon as the delicate figure lying on the bed came into his sight.

Her body was coverd with bandages and her hands sealed with canula's through which blood was passing inside her body and one of glucose. Her face pale as if all the blood was sucked out of her and her eyes shut.

Shayaan walked to her bed and looked at her in worry and fear!!
His eyes were glassy and puffed because of all the tears he had shed!!

Unknowingly his hand went upto her cheek and he carassed it with much concern. His eyes flutter shut as a tear trickled down his waterline which he wiped away.

"Salman take Mom and Shayaan back to home. Dad will come here tomorrow. I will stay here!!" Rameen stated but Aunty refused to go back to home leaving her daughter like this. After much arguing she agreed.

"Shayaan come my boy!! Lets go!" I addressed him but he was so lost sitting near Haniya's bed holding her hand in his palms.

"Shayaan?" Rameen shook him and he let out a "hmmm".

"I'll stay here!! please bro let me stay" he said with pleading eyes and I gave up.

Leaving Rameen and Shayaan there I along with Aunty headed to their home..

Ohhh Lord please show some mercy on her. Please bring happiness back in our lives.
