CHAPTER 37
Mayil has 10 stitches on her head because a table corner is sharp and hits her head. She is still unconscious from last night, as she is very weak.
Mrityunjay is standing outside the glass wall, looking at her, who is lying on the bed in pale condition. Ayaan and the doctor are standing beside him. The doctors start describing Mayil's situation to him.
"Her immunity system is very weak. At the same time, she does not digest anything properly, which means that she also has a weak digestive system, due to which she can neither eat fast food nor easily digest anything. Perhaps she has taken too much care of her food because, looking at the way her health has deteriorated, I can understand that she has gone through a lot of trouble in the last two to three days. She was suffering from a stomach ache, which turned into a stomach infection, which led her to a high fever."
Mrityunjay shoved his palms in his pants pocket, looked at her face properly without any mercy on this poor soul, and asked the doctor.
"How many days does she need to be admitted to the hospital?"
"Approximately this full week may be a few days more... Her health has become very bad, and even if we discharge her forcibly, there is a high chance of her health getting worse again. She is suffering from a fever and a very bad cold. It seems to me that only the girl can tell everything later, right after coming to her senses, that the coolness of AC does not suit this girl."
"What about the burn?"
"It is in bad condition... Burnol is only used when a little bit burns on you. This girl's hand was very badly burned, and she has tried to use a burnol on it. But it was not that effective. She needed further treatment but did not get there in time. All these things, combined, made her health worse. Her hand needs better treatment."
Mrityunjay immediately comes to her room and, standing right near her head, gives a good look at her and tells the doctor.
"Nothing should happen to this girl until I decide what I want to do with her. I want this girl to be completely safe. Keep her for a week, two weeks, or one month, but this girl should get fit and fine from here."
Soon after, he leaves the room like a storm. Ayaan is still behind him. He tells Ayaan while leaving.
"Arrange a maid for her, because I do not want this situation to come again and ask her to teach this girl to cook as well as teach other things, and she does not need to talk to this girl more, nor is there a need to increase friendship. Do your business, work, and go to your room . That maid just follows this rule. If I ever hear her talk to this silly girl unnecessarily, it will be her last day."
"Sure sir..."

Shweta is lying with her head in her father's lap, and her tears are not stopping at all. All day and night, she only misses her daughter. Jagdish is sitting in front, and he is looking towards the front without looking at him at all. Mohan's eyes are also on Jagdish; he tries to see where Jagdish is looking by trailing his gaze with his eyes.
It's her first birthday photo, and he is carrying her all the time. There was no doubt she was looking like an angel that day. No one is saying anything there, so suddenly Shweta starts breathing heavily and holds her chest tightly.
"Sakhi… "
Jagdish immediately gets upset seeing Shweta and sits close to her and rubs her hands, but she continues to take deep breaths. Jagdish immediately shouts loudly.
"Where is her pump?"
Suddenly, there is chaos in the house. Everyone starts running here and there. Jagdish also immediately runs towards his room, carrying Shweta in his arms. He takes out a pump from the drawer and starts pumping it into her mouth. In a while, her breath relaxed, and she closed her eyes tightly. Some tears slid from her eyes.
"Sakhi … Don't be like this... Just relax... I will find her anyhow. What I will say to her when she sees you like this..."
"Jaggi promised me you would never give up."
"Of course, I will never give up."
After some time, Shweta falls asleep comfortably, holding Jagdish's hand. Jagdish smiles and turns his hand after getting rid of her hands, and then Mohan is standing there. He closes the door with as much caution as he doesn't want to wake her up, and he comes down the stairs with Mohan to the garden. Mohan tries to explain it to him.
"Jagdish, obey me and stop wasting your time. You have completely stopped focusing on your business. When was the last time you went to your office? You keep looking for Mayil all day and waste your time."
Jagdish is looking in front, where the plants of Mayil are swaying. His eyes are only on those plants, and he still sees his daughter sitting there by the plants. He says.
"It has been 20 days since my daughter went missing; there has been no trace of that little girl since 20 days... You haven't tried to know even once how she is or how she is not, and you are telling me here that I should think about my business... I lost everything... Pardon me but I have very important work to do."
Jagdish has never spoken to Mohan like this. He has always treated Mohan like his beloved father and has always spoken to him very politely and extremely respectfully. He immediately leaves from there because he does not want to say anything in anger, due to which he gets angry at himself later. Mohan is also feeling humiliated for the first time after hearing this.
NEWS STATION
A friend of Jagdish has asked him to broadcast the news and force his daughter to come home if she runs away with her boyfriend. He wants to fight with him so that his daughter does not run away, but he wants to apply this method too. Right now, he is sitting in front, and the camera is rolling. He immediately starts speaking.
"Mahi, Bachche, wherever you are, come home as soon as possible... Whoever kidnapped my daughter asks me whatever price you want from me, but give my daughter back to me... I want my daughter back anyway... Mahi Papa is waiting for you... Come back, sweetheart."

"Mahi, Bachche, wherever you are, come home as soon as possible... Whoever kidnapped my daughter asks me whatever price you want from me, but give my daughter back to me. I want my daughter back anyway... Mahi Papa is waiting for you.... Come back, sweetheart."
There is a very big, wide smile on Mrityunjay's face. He is just listening to this recording news again and again while rewinding because his helplessness is clearly heard in his words, and he wants to hear this helplessness very well.
"Yearning, I just wanted to hear him in agony. I cannot describe in words the comfort you have given me in this way. It has been only 20 days now, and this is your condition.... Now I have to torment you more and enjoy your helplessness. I want to torment you more and more."
Ayaan nowadays only keeps looking at Mrityunjay because this Mrityunjay is not Mrityunjay at all, whom he has known for years. This is a different, dangerous person who is weaving something different that he does not even know. He says it in a meek voice.
"Sir, how long will we keep this girl with us like this? ....."
"Until I decide what else to do with Jagdish, I want to torture Jagdish for a few months now. After that, I will decide what to do with this girl. When will she be discharged from the hospital?"
"Maybe tomorrow evening..."
" Fine… Let's go for a meeting."
Mayil silently drinks her soup. Her condition is much better than it was before. Mayil tried to take help from the doctor here many times, but the doctor is Mrityunjay's minion. That's why no one is ready to help her here. All are just coming to check her out and take care of her. Apart from this, not a single word is exchanged here. She understands they are all puppets.
She did not understand at all what to do in the beginning because no one here was ready to help her in any way but that man did not buy the entire world. She has to run away from this hospital somehow.
The doctor informed her over the phone connection in her room that she had to discharge tomorrow, which is totally useless for her because she can't call anyone. She has only a few hours left. When she can save herself from here and run away,.
After dinner, the doctor gives her sleeping pills so that she can sleep comfortably at night, and they too not over-guard her and can rest too.
After taking the medicine, she goes to the washroom and comes back. When she sits on the bed, she starts looking at the CCTV camera installed in front of her.
She does not know at all about all the cameras in the mansion because they are all hidden. But the camera in her room in the hospital is right in front of her, and she can comfortably see that there are cameras all around the room.
Mrityunjay is sitting in a very important meeting, but his eyes are only on Mayil on the mobile. The way Mayil is looking at the camera, he feels that she has started looking at him too. These eyes are very captive.
After some time, Mayil lies down with her eyes closed. Mrityunjay too, takes his eyes off her and concentrates more on the meeting, as he knows that the sleeping medicine has taken effect and she is asleep.
After the 1-hour meeting is finished, he checks the camera.
SHE IS NOT THERE.
