SAAKK ~ SEASON 2

42. SHAURYA's LIFE IN DANGER ?

Lying in the pool of blood his body went limp. He lost the battle of life and his head rolled down in her lap.

Looking at the last ounce of life leaving his body, a bone-chilling cry escaped her throat. She shouted in sheer agony.

"Shaurya..."

She shook his lifeless body in her lap vigorously, but, all in vain. No amount of rain can pour the drops her eyes were letting go. They shed tears after tears and trailing behind were the cries of her bleeding heart.

A sinister laugh roared in the background, snatching the ground under their feet.

"He is dead. Shaurya is dead!"

"Noooo... Shauryaaa..." screaming at the highest decibel of her voice, Aastha opened her eyes.

Yes, it was the deadliest nightmare a mother could see!

"aastha, kya hua !! why are you screaming....look here, look at me" Shaan got up listening her scream shaurya's name all of sudden in the middle of night. he called her a few times watching her getting panicked but she was not in her sane mind to reply to him

No mother would be!

"aastha..." shaan shook her hard when she didn't listen to him.

Looking everywhere frantically she panted hard. Several sweat beads appeared on her face and neck as soon as she came to her senses.

"shaurya....shaurya...." she gulped some air, whispering shaurya's name in a breathless voice.

"kya hua shaurya ko, kyun uska naam le rahi ho?" shaan asked anxiously

"someone...someone killed our son...our shaurya...." replied aastha still being in trance

"aastha...aastha...look at me, kuch nahi hua hai shaurya ko!" shaan tried pacifying her turning her face to himself, forcefully

As soon as her eyes met his, a trail of continuous teardrops formed on her cheeks

"shaurya...voh shaurya ka....accident...." sobbing like a little child aastha confessed her dream

"nothing will happen to our shaurya, it was just a bad dream" shaan wiped her tears, consoling her.

"I need to see him, mujhe shaurya ko abhi dekhna hai" saying so, aastha removed the blanket away from her body and got up from bed

"shaurya abhi so raha hoga aastha, raat ke 3 baj rahe hai....kal subah mil lena" shaan said pointing at the wall clock

"NO !! I have to make sure he is okay...I need to see him...right now!!" freeing her hand from his grip aastha almost ran to the door.

Obviously, No mother will have the conscience or right state of mind when it comes to the safety of their beloved child

At this moment she was shaurya's mother only

Running slowly on the stairs, she reached shaurya's room but before entering chanted few mantras and took a deep relaxing breadth...shaan followed her as he couldn't leave her side this time when she needed it the most

As soon as she opened the door, her eyes met a beautiful sight. Shaurya was sleeping peacefully with a serene smile on his face.

And it wasn't the only thing but the way his hands were wrapped around anokhi, holding her close and securely in his arms, made aastha relax

This time, they were not awkward to see them close, they were happy to see their children happy and peaceful in each other's embrace instead

Aastha turned to shaan and noticed that he had already turned to the other side after seeing them sleeping together.
