Swasan Always and Forever

Part 23

Doctor: Unfortunately no, nothing is ok. The problem seems to be bigger than what we predicted. I'm sorry but Swara has a blood clot in her brain.

That statement shocked them to the core. Swara had a blood clot in her brain. They never thought something like this could happen to Swara. She didn't deserve this.

Ruhi: You must be mistaken. You might've read it wrong.

Doctor: I'm sorry but this is the truth. I never give the results without double checking it myself.

Riya: But she will be alright?

Doctor: We don't know. We have to check the size of the clot first and then we can say something.

Arjun: Please doctor! Nothing should happen to her! I'll pay as much as you want but nothing should happen to her.

Doctor: Sir I'm not interested in the money. It's my job as a doctor to cure her until the last moment and I will do so. Please have some faith.

The doctor left from there giving them a shock. They couldn't process what was happening. Ruhi ran from there into Swara's ward and saw her sleeping peacefully. She never even thought that Swara would have to go through something like this. She held Swara's hand crying silently so that Swara doesn't get disturbed. As Swara shifted she slowly opened her eyes and saw Ruhi crying.

Swara: Ruhi? What's the matter why are you crying?

She quickly wiped her tears and nodded no whilst putting up a fake smile. She knew it was wrong to hide Swara's illness from her but she didn't know how to tell her. She couldn't bring herself to tell her so she covered it up instead.

Ruhi: Forget about me. Are you hungry? I'll get something for you.

Swara: But Ruhi-

Ruhi: Don't worry I'm not getting hospital food for you. I know you don't like it. I'm getting take away.

Swara: No Ruhi that's not-

Ruhi: Swara don't talk much. Just rest and I'll get something for you to eat ok.

Before Swara could say a word more Ruhi rushed out of there and saw Riya and Arjun standing there with tears in their eyes. Ruhi hugged Arjun tightly and sobbed inconsolably. 

Ruhi: Bhai what is all this?! Why Swara?! How are we going to tell all this to her?

Arjun: Ruhi calm down. The doctor said that he will find a way right? We have to be positive!

Riya: Ruhi Arjun is right. If we end up being like this then how are we going to support Swara?

Meanwhile at the ice cream shop:

Sanskar came out of the toilet and got a call. It was Laksh.

Sanskar: Hello.

Laksh: Sanskar where are you?

Sanskar: I'm at an ice cream shop with Arjun and his sisters. Why?

Laksh: Because Papa is leaving tomorrow morning and he was asking about you. By the way is everything fine? You sound sad?

Sanskar: No Laksh. Nothing is fine. I found Swara! Laksh I found Swara! But she isn't ready to listen to me. She's still mad at me.

Laksh: What! You found Swara! When? How?

Sanskar: I first saw her at Arjun's engagement and then Arjun told me how he found her and how she is now a part of their family. I wanted to talk to her but she still blames me for everything. I don't know what to do.
