Esha's POV:

Life and death is in no one's hands!!!

No one can write it off if it's in your fate.

But what do you do when someone accepts someone else's pain!

Some one else's fate!

Someone else's DESTINY!!!

This is the situation here in this hospital right now!

How

When

What

Why...

Only Raghav and the woman in that ICU fighting against life and death knows!!!

All we know from the government office was a man came in from nowhere in s a white car with a gun and shot a two bullets! And before anyone could react jumped back into the car and vanished like air.

Thankful police caught him few minutes ago and are trying to figure out what's happening!!!

But the shocking part was WHY?

Who are they?

Why did they shoot bullets?

Both were for Raghav!

But Siya covered him up resulting in one bullet on her shoulder and one at her neck...

Thankfully she was rushed immediately to hospital.

We tried enquiring more at the government office and the only piece of info we got to know was that Siya and Raghav had come to the government office to sign the papers of Sehgal Mansion!

And I and Bikki were flabbergasted!

Raghav did all the circus, working around like a dog, the huge loan, sold his shares too.
.
. every thing to only purchase 'Sehgal Mansion' from his own wife??

Siya???

We were beyond shocked!

But Raghav was in a trans state!

He wasn't in the right state of mind to talk about this.

Since he came he was sitting like he had lost it!

There was blood on his face..on his shirt in his hands..

The hands in which he carried Siya to the hospital next to the government office...
..
People told us he was literally shouting on the road begging for help carrying Siya looked like had a bloodbath ...

Thankfully one of the employees of our organization recognised Raghav and helped him to take Siya to the hospital. The same man informed us too...

Vishal uncle collapsed hearing this news and Raghav's family was devastated.

Siya is currently undergoing a surgery while here Raghav's state shocked us..

He was sitting staring at his hands that still had Siya's blood on it...

He wasn't in his senses. He didn't cry a single drop of tear.

He was only staring at his hands.

Ram uncle tried to hug him console him...But he looked like he was in some sort of a trans state. We were only waiting for the doctor to come out and confirm everything is fine...

But it had been more than 4 hours and all we saw nurses were running in and out.

No one was answering our queries.

Finally we saw the surgeon come out ...

Our hearts were beating in our mouths..

"Can I talk to Mrs Siya's father or husband in my cabin please?"

Thats when Raghav got up at once and said to the doctor... "I ... I am her husband...She is my wife... My Siya... is she ok? She is fine na doctor?? Huhh? Tell me..." he was literally all over the doctor...

While Bikki pulled him back...

"He is not telling Bikki... Siya is fine na... I want to see her.. I will go inside.. Siyaaaa"

While Suhaan pulled him back and hugged him and said "Raghav... she is still in OT... doctor wants to talk to you... you are her husband na.. come come.. we will go come"

***

Raghav, Vishal uncle, Ram uncle and me... we four went to Dr Khanna's cabin. Dr Khanna was a old friend so I knew he would'nt hide anything for sure.

"Look Esha... She is critical.. There is a lot of blood loss... Although it was'nt her heart but a nerve going to her head and heart is damaged. We have removed the bullets. But we cannot guarantee you anything. There is so much of blood loss that we have to see if her body will accept the treatment or not.

Also... her heart is quite weak... We had almost lost her!!!"

That minute Raghav got up and caught the doctor's collar and said  "What do you mean by that? What is you lost her... Siya cant... Nothing can seperate me from her.. Nothing.. she is fine...She is my Siya.. " While Vishal uncle held his arms

"See na Mr Malhotra how he is talking... My Siya is fine.. I know,,.. My heart says... see touch my heart see" and he made uncle's hands touch his chest...

"I want to see her... she is fine.. I want to see her now.... now dad.. I want to see my wife.. she is fine.. see i am breathing... means she is fine.. right na dad... if Siya dies will I be alive? No na... My Siya is fine... " and he started getting more and more hiper.. While Ram uncle hugged him tightly...

But Raghav was acting crazy... So without a go Ram uncle slapped him hard. He went silent suddenly.

He started pouring tears like there is no end to it... Bikki came inside and took him along.

Although he was extremely adamant and reluctant.

I, Ram uncle and Vishal uncle were all sitting and Dr Khanna was explaining about Siya's health.

He showed us the reports and explained us that they cannot give any guarantee.

"Look Esha you are a friend, I am telling you honestly you guys must be strong. She is under supervision for next 24 hours. If she survives through the next 24 hours then we must see how is her movement, if its voluntary or non voluntary. She has a nasal bleeding happening. That must stop because we cant afford more blood loss to her. Her stool also may have blood loss everything is at the end a complete blood loss! It should be ok only then we can say that yes she is fine! I dont want to give you any fake hopes. But you guys must take 1 day at a time.

Also... one very important thing... Its a nerve that was hit.. We have given her the best treatment possible but we dont know how will she be even after the 48 hours deadline. "

My eyes poured out now and I was shocked beyond limits...

My lips parted in shock "You... you mean?"

"Yes... exactly... She can be paralysed, she may loose any of her organs too or even worse... she may end up with multiple organ failure resulting in... death!"

I fell on the chair.

We could do nothing but only wait now...

***

These 48 hours were indeed the toughest of our lives...

We didnt have anything to tell anyone.. Entire Sehgal family was praying to god nonstop.

Almost everyone except Gayathri aunty, Niyonika Chachi, Daadi, Bash Chachi, Rithwik were at home where as we were all here.

No one wanted to go home. Each one of us prayed to every single power on this universe to bring back Siya to us.

Vishal uncle was adamant about not having anything but when Ram uncle threatened that he will skip his tablets, Vishal uncle ate a little but Raghav... Raghav was hopeless...

They gave us Siya's clothes and since then Raghav was holding Siya's Saree that was filled with blood close to his chest and sitting.

That guy didnt drink a drop of water nor did he move from the place where he sat.

He was only murmering  the "Maha Mruntyunjay Jaap" again and again ...

While finally Dr Khanna came out and said

"Siya is stable now.. she is out of danger"

There was a wave of happiness around... But before we could celebrate he said

"But!!!"

"But what Dr??? " I asked...

"She had opened her eyes... she was fine too...But suddenly...

She ..."

Now our heartbeats were really on a high...

"She whattt?" Raghav asked...

"Mr Sehgal... your wife has slipped into COMA VIGIL!!!"

And next second we were broken beyond this world!!!
