Pagle Tu Mera Bhai He

chapter 2

They were baffled as their gaze came to rest on Kartik's car ,rather wrecked remains of what appeared like a car ,It had flipped over and now it lay on its roof. Ahaan's blood ran cold and it took a few seconds for his senses to kick back in. Ishqi was shocked beyond her wits too
Their eyes were frantically searching for their brother. They saw kartik, he was badly hurt,blood was running down from a deep gash across his left temple
His eyes were closed and he lay eerily silent
KARTIK!! Ahaan shouted out loud, fear making his voice quaver.
Ishqi -avm!! Kuch kijiye kartik andar phasa huva he
Ahaan started frantically banging and hitting on the cars window
They were continuously calling him but their voices didn't seem to reach him . They tried to open the door pulling the handle as hard as they could but the door seemed to be jammed
Ishqi was crying by now she shouted KARTIK WAKE UP!
But He did not even stir to her pleas
Ishqi found a stout branch nearby
Ishqi - avm aap yeh try kijiye, shayad khul jaye
ahaan tried to open the door leveraging a tiny gap in btw, the door now opened granting acess to kartik. They moved closer
Ahaan- kartik bas kar na yeh koyi prank karne ka waqt he kya just GET UP!!

Ishqi's eyes fell upon the his battered form,A glass shard from the windshield was lodged deep in his body near his chest. Blood soaked through his shirt . His pale complexion and closed eyes were making the situation worse
Ishqi - avm , kartik ko bolo na, wo udd jaye , kartik tu sunn rhi he kya, humme pareshaan mat kar
Here ahaan was afraid to even touch him
He knew that if kartik was moved , the glass would further penetrate deeper to his skin, he couldn't pull out shard either as it could lead to heavy bleeding
when his logical sense kicked in , he realised the overpowering smell of petrol , probably the car has a ruptured fuel tank, he needed to get kartik out ASAP before the car would turn into a blazing inferno . He along with ishqi tried to wake him up, they patted him strongly yet carefully and to their relief kartik slightly opened his eyes
Ahaan- kartik wakeup
Kartik was in a daze, the heard injury was making him sluggish , his head felt as if it would burst any moment

Ahaan could see he wasn't coherent . But he couldn't wait more he has to get kartik out of there . They tried to drag him out . But wasn't able to do so ,His brother even though, younger was taller than him, his right leg was stuck in the steering wheel.
Ahaan- kartik ! Kartik ! Try to get up
Even though kartik wanted to close his eyes and let peace engulf him to a slumber, he could hear someone frantically calling him, he realised it was his bhai , he was asking him something
He responded weakly
Kartik - bhaii....
Ahaan- kartik hum he tere saath, tujhe kuch nhi hoga
He sensed the strong yet careful grip of his bhai beneath his shoulder he understood what he wanted
With a muffled groan he somehow managed to raise his elbow and shift from the floor of the car with considerable support from his bhai and ishqi
Ishqi- avm ruko, kartik ka paav atak gya he , usse nikalna padega
They had no option so
Ahaan yanked out his leg stuck in the steering wheel. Kartik felt fire shooting through his veins and a loud shriek left his mouth. His clenched eyes and loud gasps pierced their heart , they couldn't see their kartik like this.
Both of them some how managed to bring him out of the car .
He told ishqi to support kartik and quickly rushed to his car ,
Ishqi couldn't control her sobs by now. She couldn't see her chirpy and joyous devar like this.kartik was nearly unconscious and wasn't responding to her
Meanwhile ahaan had driven the car as close to kartik as he could. He soon lifted him and ishqi supported his legs
A whimper escaped kartik's mouth and ahaan froze as he realised the glass shard was piercing deeper into his chest
But they had to act quick, the car itself was a trap it could burst anytime.
Ishqi looked up at ahaan quickly she immediately understood and she quickly scooted to the other side and ahaan placed kartik's head carefully in her lap

The silent drive to the hospital was one of the most daunting experience Ahaan had in his life. His eyes constantly shifted to the mirror where ishqi held kartik tightly in her arms
In distance they could hear a blast
The fuel tank has ruptured and kartik's car was ablaze
Ahaan thanked Almighty that they could reach to kartik on time
Ahaan- ishqi thank god ki tum mere saath thi, warna mujhe nhi pata mein kya karta
Ishqi - avm!! Yeh thank you speech aap baad mein de dena, kartik sirf aapka bhai nhi he, mera best friend Aur bhai bhi he, mein iske liye roadom pe metro chala sakti hu, aap plz jaldi hospital chaliye
Ishqi tried to call kartik, but he wasn't responding to her, she could feel kartik's blood dripping through her fingers and his face was turning paler each passing moment
Everytime time an agonized moan escaped kartik's mouth. Ahaan felt he was being stabbed ishqi was faring no better
Ishqi - Mummy plz ! Mummy humari kartik ko safe rakhna, mein usse aise nhi dekh sakthi

Ahaan looked momentarily to ishqi and he saw the same terror that his eyes held. Their faces were etched with the fear of losing the most important person in their life
Kartik was truely their godfather, he had always supported them throughout the highs and lows of their life. He was their guide, cheerleader and buddy .
Even though ishqi was scared out of her wits, he knew ahaan needed her the most during this time
Ishqi - avm!! Sabh teekh hoga, humara kartik fighter he, woh jaldi teekh ho jayenge
Ahaan was broken but he managed to nod

The car screeched to a halt at the emergency entrance of delhi's biggest hospital
Ahaan rushed out and shouted for a stretcher. He was on the verge of a breakdown when the hospital's night duty staff rushed to help them .
They placed kartik in a stretcher and was wheeling him to operation theatre
Ahaan held kartik's hand tightly and was running along with them with ishqi in the trail. He refused to let go of his hand even when the staff was trying to close the door. Ishqi had to intervene and almost shout on ahaan to let him go.
He sat on the nearby bench with a thud
