"Nurse take him to the operation theater fast. He is in critical condition."

"Riddhima, you have to take of this patient. Beacuse he is wing Commander Arjun Malhotra and I want best treatment for our nation's soldier."

Riddhima : "Of course sir. It's my pleasure to have this opportunity."

He smiled at Dr. Anand and entered into ICU. She was heading towards Arjun. Upon reaching towards his bed, she took chart and start updating it.

Suddenly she observed little hand movement of him. She checked his pulse level and etc. As soon as she was about leave from ICU she heard his voice.

He was murmuring something. She moved closer to him. He was asking for water. He was slowly regaining senses.
