Before he could leave the room, she asked him to switch on the lights as she was scared of darkness. If it was someone else he would have given her left right center but he know how terrified she was, he did not bother to answer her.

He switched on the lights and barged out to the room.

Khushi closed her eyes and relaxed a bit on the pillow. She closed her eyes remembering pulik.

Kahin na kahin ussey darr tha, if she fails to impress arnav tonight, she might loose out of the job.

***Flashback***

Khushi: Taxi!!!

The taxi came and stood near here. She bend down to ask whether he will take her to the city hospital.

After few minutes' drive she got out of the cab, paid him and went inside the hospital.

She stood near the icu, seeing her love under ventilation, fighting for his life. Khushi was unable to see him in that state, the most cheerful guy in her life, her happiness he was and today he is lying there lifeless.

Last one month she had been taken care of him, she has spent whatever she had for him, she even mortgaged her one bedroom flat for his treatment. But now she was standing empty handed. She looked at her palm, her fate line which was now in aranv singh raizada's hands. Today she is going to loose her most precious and most important thing in her life after Pulkit.

She did think twice before doing this, she knew if pulkit comes to know once he was normal, then he might not be able to forgive himself nor her.

But right now it was not the time to think about all these. His life was important and for that she can go to any extent, even this.

She flinched when a palm touched her shoulder.

Khushi: Dr???

Dr: Khushi, have you arranged the money for his ventilator?

Khushi gulped her sorrow: Doctor, I will deposit that within 24 hours.

Dr: Couldnot bare to see her in that state but nothing was in his hand. He know how much she did for all these, sleepless nights, skipping food. She really felt sorry for her.

Khushi: Doctor, he will be ok na? I mean he will talk me right? I cant bare to see him this. Its all because of me. I wish it was me who ran down the car that day? I wish he did not save me. I wish''''''.i wish I was like this in this condition.

She covered her face and started crying.

Dr: Keep faith in god khushi, let god decide what to do. I am sure there must be a reason behind everything. There must me a reason why are you not there today and why he is in your place.

Khushi: doctor, he has always taken all the hard times on him taking it away from me. Doctor, I want to talk to him, I want him to hug me right now, I am so he'.lp'''..le''sss she said in between her sobs.

***FLASHBACK ENDS***

She tried to get up when she felt a sharp pain on her abdomen. She held on the head board and tried to get up when a pair of strong hand lifted her up and placed her on the bed.

She saw arnav again tucking the blanket on her.

She held his hand and looked at him with puppy face. She tried to get up once again when he screamed at her.

"STOP THE DAMN DRAMA"

She was shocked. She got scared.

He sat beside her popped out some medicines from the foil and handed over to her with a glass of water.
