章節 74: She Buried Her Face in His Chest
Prakash and Ajay rested comfortably in the first class section of the plane, Prakash knew how stressed his friend, Ajay was, so he made the decision that first class section of the plane would be better.
Although both Prakash and Ajay had no problem with the business class, economy was a no no, Prakash had to make the decision of the first class section, it was necessary at that moment.
He knew Ajay's worries for his sister was very high, he was worried for her as well. Flashes of how her best friend Sonal was coping with the situation also came into his mind.
As soon as the plane took off, Prakash suggested the idea of them changing into casuals. He knew of how highly the citizens viewed army men and women. He didn't want to draw attention to themselves especially when they reach old Delhi.
Even before they boarded the plane, they had fans who gave them tough times. It was the security men at the airport that made their passage a little bit easy. Prakash knew at Old Delhi, their time would be wasted again because of army fans.
Ajay needed to get to his sister on time when they reach old Delhi. So he bought Prakash idea of them changing into normal casuals and not army casuals to ward off attention of the public away from them.
Meanwhile at Old Delhi Hospital
Shruti Arora was just getting off the phone with a junior officer from the army base. She was informed that Ajay had been sent to Old Delhi and he was currently on his way.
Shruti Arora was pleased, praising her husband inwardly that he did the right thing by sending Ajay back to old Delhi to be with his sister. She really thought Major general Gevan made that decision.
After her call ended, she informed Sonal that Ajay was also on his way. Sonal acknowledge her mum and they both stayed like that in silence for about 10 minutes.
Shruti Arora looked at the time, it has been 30 minutes ago since she called Yash Prahtab, by her calculations, he would be reaching the hospital in the next 10 minutes if he were to leave his office immediately, to the hospital as at the time she called him.
But she remembered he had a meeting he was attending and that he would come immediately he was done. But she didn't want to take any chances. She wanted to give her daughter Sonal some privacy to be with her fiancée Yash.
So she made the decision to leave the Hospital premises before Yash got there. That was her primary reason, her second reason was because she had phobias for hospitals.
Jasmine was in bad shape, so she took up the courage to come down to the hospital with Sonal with the help of the Arora family driver. She informed Sonal again that Yash and Ajay would join her soon, that she would leave for home now.
Mum please don't go now, I don't want to wait alone, please wait for them to come first before you leave. Sonal I would love to but you know I have phobias for hospitals that is why I prefer the doctor's to give me home service treatments anytime I fall ill.
Still sober, but not crying anymore, she replied, yes mum, I remember, I won't be selfish, I would be strong and wait for Yash to come keep me company and hopefully Ajay would arrive here faster and join us soon.
Okay Sonal, be good dear. I would send the family driver back when you ready to come back home Shruti replied. Thanks mum, Yash would bring me back home, I would come with him, Sonal responded.
Okay daughter, I would get going now. Shruti Arora called the family driver as soon as she got outside the hospital. The driver brought the car to her from where he packed it and drove her home.
As soon as she got home, she took a long hot bath to rid herself off the smells of the hospital. The maids took her clothes for washing in the washing machine immediately at her orders.
Upstairs in her room, she looked at some pictures of her husband, the Major general Gevan. She missed him a lot. She was not the TV type sho she went downstairs to her garden where she felt more connected to him to reminisce more about him.
Meanwhile in New Delhi...
Major General Gevan came down from his private jet, and moved to where the military convoy was waiting for him. He entered one, his junior assistants entered another.
The one he entered, his military close friend, Major general Gupta was in it. On their way to the New Delhi Military Inn, Major general Gevan and Major General Gupta caught up on old times, from where there were new recruits and how they fought and survived the Indian war.
On getting to the New Delhi Military Inn, two Major generals to a room. Major general Gevan and Major General Gevan settled down in their room. Coincidentally, they had same room.
Major general Gevan and Major general Gupta freshened up one after the other and joined the other Major generals 30 minutes later downstairs at the conference room for a brief meeting, for the purpose of having one voice before their close door meeting with the President, President Ram Nath Kovind, 7 am the following morning.
Meanwhile at the Old Delhi Airport...
Prakash and Ajay came out of the terminal and boarded a private Taxi that would take them straight to the Old Delhi Hospital. Ajay knew by this time, the Singh's family drivers were on leave, so he couldn't call them.
As for Prakash, he didn't want to alert his family yet that he was in Old Delhi, he wanted to surprise them later. In the end that was how they boarded a private Taxi to take them to the Old Delhi Hospital.
Meanwhile at the Old Delhi Hospital...
Jasmine was out of danger but she was still in fragile state. No one was allowed to see her yet, so Sonal remained outside the lobby. She was still sober, every once in a while, tears will stream down her cheeks from her eyes.
A long time had passed since her mum left the hospital, and still there was no sign of Yash. She was not surprised, it was typical of Yash to show up late or not even come at all. Anyways she thought to herself self, his good for nothing and I wouldn't keep my hopes up that he would show up.
As soon as she said that to herself while her head was down, she heard her name by a man who stood close to her. His outfits looked like the one Yash had worn some time ago. Copied from a famous artist. She didn't look at his face but paid attention to his outfits
She was so lost in thoughts earlier that she did not listen to the tone of the man who called her name. She just stood up almost immediately, wrapped both her hands around the person and buried her face in his chest.
She started to cry softly again, after crying for awhile, she was surprised Yash did not pull her off him, she stopped crying and decided to speak up soberly while her head was still buried in his chest. Yash, you came! Jasmine is really in a bad shape, then she continued her soft cries.
Prakash stood there with her, although he was glad his future wife was safe in his embrace, his heart burned at the thought of her calling Yash's name. He embraced her back and ensured she was very safe with him without uttering a word. He allowed her cry as much as she wanted.
Ajay was still downstairs, after both him and Prakash made enquiries of the ward and room Jasmine was admitted into, he decided to make an International call to Father Singh to inform him of Jasmine's state. That the family should not be worried that he was there to look after her.
As he was making his international call, Prakash proceeded upstairs through the elevator and here he was, with Sonal in his arms. After few more minutes, Ajay appears behind him, he didn't notice that Sonal was in the arms of Prakash.
She had just moved both of her arms to his chest. To feel his chest. She wanted to make full use of the opportunity to be calm and safe in the hands of Yash. Sonal had never felt more safe in his hands until today.
Prakash is taller than Sonal. Ajay just thought Prakash was standing and folding his arms, so he called up to him to find out if he was able to speak to the doctor that was in charge of treating his sister Jasmine.
Prakash, buddy have you seen the doctor? How is Jasmine? What did the doctor say concerning her? As soon as he called him, Sonal immediately looked up and then that was how her eyes met with that of Prakash. She was shocked she had been with Prakash and not Ajay all along.
Prakash looked lovingly into her wet eyes. She had stopped crying again but her eyes were still wet. They stayed like that for a minute before Ajay called up to Prakash again. By this time, Sonal had broke off her embrace from Prakash.
Prakash did not force Sonal to continue embracing him, he allowed her brake it off, as soon as she did, Ajay moved in front of them. Ajay did not suspect what had just happened between Prakash and Jasmine.
He immediately was glad that Sonal was still around to support her best friend, his sister. So he moved the question about how his sister was faring from Prakash to Sonal.
As he carefully asked her, Prakash Immediately zipped up his jacket, his inner shirt was soaked with Sonal's tears. He did not want Ajay to notice and make the situation awkward.
They were supposed to be at the hospital for his sister and not for him to romance her best friend. After he zipped it up, he immediately suggested they all sit down. He was feeling for Sonal and did not want her to be standing for too long especially when she is in bad shape.
She is not at work, on the field, so no need for her to stand for too long, he thought. The three of them sat down on the long bench, in the hospital lobby. After sitting down, Prakash handed over his military handkerchief to Sonal.
Sonal took it appreciatively and wiped her face and nose with it. She was no longer crying and tears were not in her eyes anymore. After she had wiped her face and nose, Prakash handed to her, a small bottle of water that he had on him. He has bought two of them on their way to the hospital.
He drank one and now he his giving the other to Sonal. Sonal took it, thanked him and drank some. After drinking and covering the bottle water back. She was now able to answer the question that Ajay wanted to know about how Jasmine, how his sister came to that state and how she was doing now.
When Sonal finished narrating all that happened to Jasmine. Prakash and Ajay were furious. In their furious state, Ajay said out loud but not too loud to scare others who were in the Hospital lobby with them. That bastard, I won't spare him. He had the audacity to do this to my sister.
Calm down Ajay, Prakash was angry too, but he was sensible enough to advice Ajay before he does something that would be detrimental to himself. Don't worry, the main priority is for us to look after Jasmine now. When she is much better, we including Sagar and Pulkit will put all heads together to deal with that Rohit.
Still furious, Ajay replied, okay Prakash, I would listen to you but that Rohit will not go scot free, just look at the horrible state he left my sister in. He didn't even think about how she would feel, he just went and did what he did.
