46.
Veer stirs in sleep before slowly opening his eyes only to see Preet's beautiful face in front of his eyes.
He sat straight on the chair as he fell asleep while sitting last night. He moved his gaze toward the window to see the reddish-yellow sky and the beautiful sunrise.
He opened his phone to see it was 6 am and he also saw a message from Aarav saying he had to go home as Avni is alone. He will come back in the afternoon to take Anaya with him as she will be discharged by then.
He replied with just one word saying okay and then placed it back on the table.
He saw their fingers still intertwined. He bent slightly and kissed her fingers and smiled, looking at her face.
"Good morning, My heart. See the sun has come. Now wake up, Yaar," he whispered, kissing her forehead gently.
He heard the doctor opening and looked to see a doctor and a nurse coming inside. He stood up as they stood near Preet's bed.
The doctor greets him and reads Preet's report file. He nodded and checked her vitals in the monitor. He wrote something in the notepad and told the nurse to include it in the treatment.
"Mr. Rajvansh, don't worry she is doing really great. She will soon get her senses back," Veer looked at Preet and then the doctor in concern.
"Why is she taking so much time? Is something wrong?" he worriedly asked internally, praying for her.
"No, she is okay. It's just due to blood loss that her body became really weak so it will taking time to recover and also because she was under heavy medication. Everything is fine. She will wake up soon," the doctor assured him.
Veer sighed and nodded at the doctor and thanked him. The doctor gives him a professional smile and tells him not to worry about her and goes out.
A few minutes later, the nurse also left after changing Preet's gown and dressing and gave her medicines.
He again sat on the chair near her bed and looked at her desperately waiting for her to open her eyes. Suddenly he remembered something. He stood up from his chair and glanced at her.
"I am coming in a bit, okay? Don't worry I will be back in a minute," he said and kissed the back of her hand before unlacing their fingers.
He walked out of the room and went to reception.
"Excuse me," he called the receptionist who was doing something on the computer. She looked up at him.
"Yes sir?"
"I need the hospital bill to pay as my wife has been admitted here since last night," the lady nodded and typed something in her computer.
"Patient name?" she asked.
"Preet Rajvansh," he told her and waited for her to tell him the amount.
"Sir, the payment is already done," she said, making him frown.
"Huh? But I…may I know who paid the bill," he politely asked.
"It's Aarav Rajvansh, sir," he still for a second before he walked from there after thanking her.
"Veer, what are you doing? I am so done you and your minions," Preet scolds Veer who smiles sweetly at her making her huff at his drama.
"Relax, my heart…We will clean it. Right, soldiers?" the hall filled with the cute baby shout.
"Yea!!! Haatt!!" And then the sweet giggles fill Preet's heart with bliss.
(heart!!)
Preet chuckled at the baby voice and collected her peace in her embrace. Then Veer hugged them, wrapping his arms protectively around them and kissed their forehead lovingly.
Preet smiles looking at his love filled eyes and places her lips against his and softly kisses him.
"I love you, Jaana," he whispered, pecking her soft swollen lips.
"I love you more…" she said softly as a beautiful smile appeared on their faces.
Preet is sitting silently in an unknown place. Although the place was really beautiful but she felt restless and lonely.
Suddenly, she heard a cute giggling sound coming near her. She looked around with a frown, searching for the source of such a beautiful sound.
Then she saw a beautiful white cradle placed between the flowers.
She slowly walked near it, feeling overwhelmed and unknowingly tears started falling down from her face.
A smile formed on her face as the baby giggling got louder and clearer.
She felt content and chuckled, feeling that the baby is really happy and enjoying alone.
Before she could see the baby a voice stopped her. She turned around to a beautiful woman standing there.
"What are you doing here, Preet? My Veer is waiting for you. Go bachcha, he has been calling you for so long, right little bean?" Saying she picks up the baby in her arms and kisses the baby's cheek lovingly.
Preet forwards her hands toward her while crying silently.
"My baby, Mumma," she whispered looking at her with desperation.
"I am here. I will take care of your baby till the time comes," saying she smiled at her looking like a angel.
"Naina, Jaan!!" she heard a manly voice and then saw a young handsome man coming near Naina and roll his eyes at her.
"Here I was searching for you like a mad person," he told her wrapping his arm around her shoulder and kisses her head making Naina smile.
"Ranveer, this naughty bean is troubling Dadi. Haina!!" the baby coo at her and giggle loudly making Naina and Ranveer chuckle.
Preet was looking at them laughing and smiling making her eyes filled with happy tears.
But her smile fell when they started going away from her while playing with the baby. She panicked and started running after them.
"Mumma, my baby…please!" she crying loudly. Naina turned her head and looked at her with her glowing happy face.
"The time is not yet come, Preet bachche. Have patience. Your and Veer's life will soon filled with happiness and love. But for now my son needs you. He need his Preet. Don't make wait him more.
And tell him we loves him and you and this little cutie pie and-" Suddenly her voice disappeared making her panic and anxious.
"Preet…it's enough now," came a voice that gave her peace.
"Veer!! Baby!!" she tried to said but it didn't comes out of her throat.
"You can beat me, slap me and can do whatever you want but please don't do this, Preet," she felt pain and sadness in his voice and wanted to hug him.
"Ve..er..," she whispered and tried to open her eyes, which felt heavy as if someone had put a mountain over her eyes.
Veer, who was sitting on the chair beside Preet thinking about Aarav suddenly felt movement in his hand as he was softly holding her hand.
He looked at her face to see a single tear dropping from the corner of her eyes. He wiped it and stared at her with a smile.
But feeling her body trembling and she breathed heavily.
"Preet…it's enough now," he said in a little stern and stern voice, feeling his heartbeat racing in fear.
"You can beat me, slap me and can do whatever you want but please don't do this, Preet," he whispered in a defeated voice and placed his forehead against her.
He heard her breathy whispering as she tightened her grip on her hand.
He didn't pay attention to her words and cupped her face.
"Preet, love…open your eyes, please," he pleaded.
He saw her body calming down before she slowly opened her eyes with difficulty. She blinks a few times as she is still in haze.
"Veer, …" she breathed out seeing his smiling face in front of her.
She smiles weakly and raises her hand to touch his face.
"Why are you crying?" she asked, looking concerned and softly gaze her shaky fingers on his face and wipe his tears from his cheeks.
"Don't cry…" he kissed her hand which was stroking his face and then started placing small kisses over her face. She giggled but then started coughing, making Veer scared.
"Oh…shit!! Let me call the doctor," he panicked and was about to run out of the room but Preet held his hand and shook her head.
"W..ater..rr" she tried to say between coughing and pointing at the water jug placed on the side table.
He quickly gave her half a glass of water and held the back of head while making her drink water.
She took a deep sigh as she finished the whole water and lightly moved it away with her other hand.
Preet then remembered the strange dream. It was so real and if she really was there a few minutes ago.
Soon the doctor comes and checks her and asks a few things to her.
He assures her that she will be fine soon.
As soon as the doctor and nurse left the room, Preet looked at Veer and asked,
"Anaya?"
Her voice comes hoarse and low and concern is visible on her face. He sigh and take her hand between his palm and kiss her knuckles before looking at her into her eyes,
"She is okay. Will be discharged today. Don't worry. She has everyone with her,"
Preet nodded and sighed in relief then a small smile appeared on her face as look at his face. She raises her other hand and caresses his cheek and hair.
"You are not looking okay. Is it because of me?" she softly asked, feeling guilty seeing his eyes and swollen eyes.
"I was scared. You don't know how many times I have died in these 20 hours. Never ever do that to me. I am not that strong, Preet," he whispered as his grip tightened around her hand.
"I am so sorry," she said with a sad look.
"I love you," she said with her angelic smile and her voice was filled with love making his heart skip a beat.
He leaned and softly placed his lips on hers, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.
"I too love you, my Jaan. Love you so much, " Preet has her eyes closed as she is feeling his warm and soft lips over her and enjoying this feeling but as he said that her eyes snap open in shock.
Still with their joint lips, she looked at him as he was softly staring at her with his admiration and adoration in his ocean blue eyes.
"I love you, Preet," he again whispered as he slightly moved back from her and pecked her trembling lips with love.
She stared at his charming face with her glossy eyes before a trembling smile formed on her lips.
She cups his face and looks at his eyes which are filled with love, love for her only.
"You love me?" she still couldn't believe her ears.
"Yes, I love you," he said and kissed her soft palm which was on his face.
