Twist of fate

Part 24

At the police station, DP, RP, and Adarsh stood alongside Laksh, their expressions a mix of concern and confusion. As Laksh's interrogation progressed, they tried to find out what went wrong.

Their shock was palpable when they learned of Ragini's kidnapping and Sanskar's injury at the hands of Anirban. It was a revelation that sent waves of worry coursing through them, each grappling with the implications of such a sinister plot.

Amidst the chaos, one question loomed large in everyone's minds: who had bailed out Anirban, and what plans did they have in store? The mystery surrounding Anirban's sudden freedom only added to the sense of urgency, fueling their determination to get to the bottom of the situation.

The police also mentioned that Laksh had met Anirban two days prior, on the day of Ragini's kidnapping and that he had handed some money to Anirban.

Ragini sat quietly by Sanskar's bedside, her eyes fixed on his peaceful face as he lay unconscious.

Two days had passed since the harrowing ordeal, and though Sanskar was now out of danger, he remained unresponsive. Despite the reassurances from the doctors, Ragini couldn't shake the worry that gnawed at her heart.

Her fingers absentmindedly traced the lines of his hand, seeking solace in the warmth of his touch. She had refused to leave his side, her presence a constant vigil against the silent void that threatened to consume him.

Rudra paced anxiously nearby, his concern for Ragini's well-being evident in the furrow of his brow. "Ragu," he murmured softly, his voice tinged with worry. "You need to rest. You've been here since you got conscious."

But Ragini shook her head resolutely, her gaze never wavering from Sanskar's face. "I can't leave him," she whispered, her voice barely above a breath. "Not until he wakes up."

Rudra sighed, torn between his concern for his sister and his own helplessness in the face of Sanskar's condition. "He'll wake up, Ragini," he assured her gently, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Ragini offered him a small, grateful smile, though her eyes remained fixed on Sanskar's still form. Rudra gave a helpless sigh but his heart skipped a beat as he witnessed the flicker of movement from Sanskar. With a sense of urgency, he called for the doctor, his voice tinged with hope.

As the doctor hurried into the room, Sanskar's eyelids fluttered open, his gaze searching through the haze. "Ragini," he whispered, his voice barely audible, but filled with longing and relief.

Ragini's breath caught in her throat as she heard her name on Sanskar's lips. She leaned in closer, her eyes brimming with tears of joy and disbelief. "Sanskar," she murmured, her voice trembling with emotion. "You're awake."

A smile tugged at the corners of Sanskar's lips as he took in the sight of Ragini's worried face. "I'm here," he assured her softly, reaching out to grasp her hand in his.

The doctor approached the bedside, his expression one of cautious optimism. "How are you feeling Mr.Karmar" he greeted Sanskar, his tone warm and reassuring. "You gave us quite a scare there."

Sanskar managed a weak nod, his attention still focused on Ragini. "I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice filled with regret. "For making you worry."

Ragini shook her head, her eyes shining with unshed tears. "You're here now," she replied softly, her voice laced with emotion. "That's all that matters."

As Sanskar's strength slowly returned and his senses sharpened, he found comfort in the presence of the woman who had remained steadfast by his side. And as they shared a tender moment of reunion, surrounded by the gentle hum of the hospital room, Sanskar couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude for the second chance he had been given.
