"Bye Sona. Sham ko milta hoon, ho sakta hai thoda late hojae aane me" Rohit said leaving their room to go to the hospital
"Aah" She dropped the small bag she was trying to pick up
"Kya hua? " he rushed to her
"Pata nai.. do teen din se right hand me constant pain ho rha hai"
"Aur tumhe nai laga ki tumhe apne pati ko jo ek doctor bhi hai use batana chahiye" Rohit said visibly upset
"It's nothing serious Rohit, just a dull ache in the arm and umm"
"And?"
" My right breast is a little sore too"
"That's it!! You're coming to the hospital with me right now. We need to get your check-up n tests done" He practically dragged her to his car
__________________________________________
They waited in his cabin for her mammogram, MRI & ultrasound reports.
"Sir Tiwari ma'am ne aap dono ko bualaya hai.. Sonakshi ma'am ki reports aagyi hai" Said Tulsi breaking the silence in his cabin
___________________________________________
"Hello Dr. Rohit , Mrs, Sippy. Please sit" Said Dr. Tiwari, placinging the file on the table
"Sonakshi, we'd done your mammography because I suspected some irregularity in your breast during the physical examination. And the reports show that there is a lump in your right breast"
The grip on Sonakshi's hand that Rohit was holding under the table got tighter
"But there is nothing to worry about yet . We will perform a needle biopsy to see if the lump is cancerous or not. The chances are as low as 20% so don't stress yourself right now" she said reassuringly
___________________________________________
The journey back home was a silent one. Rohit was too shaken to say anything and Sonakshi didn't know what to say. So they both decided to stay quiet.
Her reports were to come in 3 days..
And they knew the next three days were going to be dreadful for them both.
___________________________________________
On entering the room Rohit directly rushed to the washroom & locked himself in. He splashed cold water on his face washing off the tears before they could roll down his cheeks "It's all gonna be okay, it's all gonna be okay.. I need to stay strong for her! She needs me right now, It's gonna be okay. She'll be fine, nothing will happen to her I won't let anything happen to her" he kept muttering, reassuring himself
He wipped his face, looked at himself in the mirror with determination "You'll be strong for her, you won't break down in front of her, you'll be her pillar"
He came out n looked around the room, spotted her standing in the balcony staring into nothingness
He had talked to patients and their familes all his life, reassuring them that everything will be fine that they'll do the best they can, that they should keep their faith in God intact.. But it seemed so difficult today, he was too scared to see her scared. He took a deep breath and walked towards her
"Hey" He wrapped his arms around her, placed a kiss in her hair & rested his chin on her head "Theek ho?"
She turned around and hugged him tight.. Hiding her face in his chest. He tightened his grip around her.
"Kuch hoga to nai na Rohit?
Hamne abhi to hamari zindagi shuru kari hai sathme. aur agar abhi hi.." She looked at him with fear in her eyes
"Shhh Sona . aisa kuch nai hoga. Suna na tumhe Doctor ne kya kaha.. tension lene ki zarurat nai hai, aur god forbid, agar report positive aati bhi hain, to ham treatment karenge na.. Sab theek hojaega.. m here.. I'll always be there with you no matter what. Aur ham dono ko koi alag nai kar sakta hai ye baat yaad rakhna..
umm Sona do you wanna talk to mumma? agar tumhe unse discus karna ho to?" He said all this with a heavy heart but a strong front
"Nai Rohit Mumma ko bekar tension hojaegi.. Abhi kisi ko nai batae? "
"As you say" he pulled her closer "Chalo lunch kar lein?"
"I don't feel like Rohit, bilkul bhook nai hai. Tum chale jao neeche lunch k lie sab wait kar rhe honge. I wanna stay here for a while, alone.. Neeche boldena thodi tired thi main to sogyi"
"Sona.. okay, as you say" He placed a long kiss in her hair and left , to give her some space
___________________________________________
"How can I put Rohit through this. He's already suffered enough. Mujhe use batana hi nai chahiye tha"
"Agar mujhe kuch hogya to, Rohit ki halat fir pehle jaisi hojaegi! No I can't let that happen. Par main kar bhi kya sakti hoon. "
" Mujhe kuch hogya to Mumma Pari Pulkit ka khayal kaun rakhega. How will Mumma bear another loss?"
"KPK ko bhi nayi Parvati dhundhni padhegi"
"Mere fans bhi kitne dukhi hojaenge"
All the worst case scenarios circulated her mind
just then a pair of arms wrapped around her once again.. How long has she been standing there?
" Tum ab tak yahi khadi ho? kya soch rhi ho" He turned her towards him "Sona, kuch nai hoga tumhe, okay? Tum apne Rohit se door nai jaogi kabhi I know that. Rohit aisa nai hone dega. Stop thinking so negativity okay"
She looked at him in amazement as he so easily always reads what's on her mind
"Now come eat"
"Rohit bhook nai hai"
"Okay I will" She agreed coz she knew how stubborn he can get
He feeds her the food and they sit together for a while and then both leave for their respective work.
.

How are they gonna keep their sanity for the next three days, none knew

To be continued...
