Aditya stood outside the ICU, while the nurses and doctors rushed inside. Aditya recalled that moment, when Zoya landed up on his arms, and was flabbergasted on the fact that the girl he saw in his dream actually existed and he met her exactly in the same situation.

Just then the nurse came out, and came to Aditya.

"Sir, can you please give the patient's details??"

Aditya looked at the nurse and shrugged his shoulders, "Well...I have no idea...I was travelling in the bus and this girl fell unconscious...I just brought her to the hospital. I don't know anything else...you can take over from here...I have to go..."

"Sir, but we need to know about the patient...since you admitted, you are responsible for the patient now, and the patient has to be admitted too."

"Excuse me..." Aditya clarified, "I said you I was just travelling with her and I don't have any idea about her...and what will I do staying over here?? Try to get her details once she gains consciousness, you can ask her right? Contact her family...what do you want me to do??"

Aditya got a call and he moved away from there, while another nurse joined the nurse.

"Got to know anything?"

"He says he doesn't know anything about the patient and wants to leave...how can we tackle a suicide case without apt details?"

Aditya turned back at them hearing that, while the nurses discussed, "We should know something about the patient...tomorrow if something happens to this girl, who will answer? We can't simply treat a patient just like that...we need to inform their family or friends at least...but this man is leaving."

Aditya came back to them with a curious look, "Suicide case??"

"Yes Sir...the girl seems to have consumed excess pills..."

Aditya wiped his face having a disturbed look, as he looked up at them, "Start the treatment immediately. I will take full responsibility of the patient!"

"But Sir, patient's name and details..."

"Ladies!! Write any name you people like...for God's sake go and start the treatment...get the admission form, I will sign!!"

With a confused look, the nurses left and Aditya walked to the ICU and saw Zoya at the bed through the viewing space at the door. He placed his hand at the door as he closed his eyes, as his mind recalled something.

"The patient has consumed excessive pills and attempted for a suicide...as it got delayed, we couldn't save the patient...sorry!"

Aditya opened his eyes and looked at Zoya, as he said, "I couldn't prevent one suicide before...at least, save this girl...I don't want to see another suicidal death in front of my eyes!!"

Arjun Hooda, Aditya's brother rushed inside the hospital with a travel bag in his hand, and he ran through the corridor, until he saw Aditya next to the water dispenser, filling water in his cup.

He rushed to Aditya and caught him by force, "Bhai!! What happened??"

Aditya looked at the empty cup in his hand, with water spilled all over his shirt, as he looked at Arjun with a stare.

"Uhhh...Sorry Bhai...I was tensed..." Arjun said wiping the water from Aditya's shirt and smiling at him, with a silly look.

"Why did you pounce on me like a tiger now??" Aditya asked folding his hands against his body.
