Rishtey agar

Dil se hon toh,

Torne se bhi nahi tootty

Aur agar dimaagh se hon

Toh jorne se bhi nahi jurty

Zoya pov:

We reached the hospital while praying to god that nothing should happen to my Phupha.

We both got out of the car quickly, Abhi threw the car keys to the valet. In a micro second, we ran to the reception while I was weeping  running behind Abhi.

"Ram khurana"

Abhi asked the receptionist and She informed to us that Phupha was in ICU.

We both sprinted to the ICU without thinking a twice in worry.

As we reached there, I rooted to my place when I saw a heartbroken sight.

Phuphi was bawling like a child. Maa and Aunty was trying to soothe her, yet Phuphi wasn't in a stage to hear anything. Soon, her eyes landed on me.

Tears were flowing from my eyes like a pool when my gaze caught her dishelleved state.

"ch-choti..you came" Phuphi sobbed, running towards me while throwing her hands around me for comfort.

"ph-ph-phuphi" I cried as my hands were shaking.

Phuphi(crying): Your ph-phupha..

She was trying to say but I stopped her in the middle while interrupting by gathering some courage.

"Nothing will happen to my Phupha. He will be fit and fiddle" I assured her by returning the hug, carresing her back in consoling manner.

She sobbed in my arms by letting out all her pain. I made her sit on the bench by holding her..

Phuphi(wailing): Will your Phupha leave me alone in this world?

My heart crumbled in pain when I heard her words..

I wiped her tears and made her look at me..

"Phuphi, I am telling you once again, nothing will happen to my Phupha. we won't let anything happen to him. You know na, he is strong enough to fight with anything. So, don't let any

negative thoughts occupy your brain, Phuphi. Just be positive, be strong and pray to god. Everything will be fine" I ensured her whereas she nodded her and cried.

Phuphi slowly leaned on my shoulder  and slept due to exhaustion of crying.

Meanwhile, My Abhi was speaking with Kunal Bhai about Phupha's health condition and treatment.

I glanced at my other members of my family.

Hani was wailing too in veer bhai arms. Maa and Anjali Aunty were silently mourning. Papa and Raj uncle were hiding their pain in their hearts.

Why, suddenly Phupha got a stroke?

What news made him lay on the hospital bed?

My eyes moved to Abhi, he has a blank expression, but his eyes were speaking that he was in immense pain.

I want to hug my devil...my delicious beast, however, I can't as I have to handle my Phuphi who was my mother in law too.

Abhi: Veer, when did the doctors took him to ICU?

Veer: It's been two hours.

Abhi just nodded and didn't speak anything further.

After few hours..

The ICU door opened...the doctors came out..Abhi quickly went to the doctor before anyone can did..

Abhi(concern): How is my father...is he ok now?

Doctor: sir, he is alright now. But he is unconcious now. He will be awake in 8 hrs.

Abhi(relieved):ok, Just show me his reports.

Doctor: sure sir.

Abhi went to doctor's cabin...at the same time phuphi woke up.

Phuphi(crying): choti...your phupha..

"hmm...phuphi...he is alright...just now doctor informed us" i said smiling.

Phuphi(happy): Really!!

"yes" i replied.

Phuphi: Then why are we sitting her..come na..we will go nd see him. He will be happy to see you & abhi.

Abhi..Abhi..my son...where is he..

She said trying to search for him..

"phuphi...clam down...Abhi was speaking with doctor nd Phupha is unconcious. He will wake up in 8 hrs" I said what doctor informed to us.

Phuphi: why 8hrs..

"Phuphi..doctor assured us that phupha is now out of danger. He is alright..it will take some time to get him concious" I said trying to make her understand.

Phuphi(stubbornly): But, I wanted to see him.

She yelled and quickly ran into the ICU before I could even react.

I let her go and leaned my head to the wall feeling relaxed.

Hey baghwan!! Thankyou so much for making my Phupha fine.

I glanced at Maa & Aunty who were looking tired and were trying to control their sleep.

Remaining all were silent. Abhi came out of the cabin. His eyes were red.

Papa: What did the doctor said? Is raym alright?

Abhi(blank): hayan...he is alright...but I wanted to ask you something mama.

Papa(confused): What Abhi?

Abhi: can you tell me what news affected him that gave a stroke to my father.

Raj: we don't know.

Raj uncle said immediately like he planned it to say those words before. He is clearly lying.

Abhi: Maama!!

Papa was looking hestitant but didn't utter a word.

Abhi glanced at kunal bhai & veer bhai..they both averted their gaze from him to avoid the answer.

My devil again looked at maa & aunty. They both are giving a helpless look.

What they are hiding now?

I am fed up by all these hiding things in my life..

At now my beast became a bull who was blazing in anger. I don't want him to make a scene in hospital. I walked to him feeling tired of continues weeping where as  he was ready to burst out.

Who won't? when his father is about to die a few hours ago due to something which my Abhi didn't know.

My devil was about to bark at them but stopped when he heard hani voice..

Hani: bhai...it's about garima.

We both got baffled and was looking at her confused while my family were gesturing her to stop..

Papa: Hani...we will talk about it later.

Raj: leave the topic now.

Hani: No!!! There was no need to hide it anymore. Bhai, Garima was died a long back ago. As soon as Papa heard the news, he got a stroke.

I was stupified. I slightly peered at Abhi. He was shocked and was about to stumble, but I hold his hand.

He looked at me with painful eyes but didn't spoke. He walked out from us. I so wanted to go behind him but stopped myself from going as I wanted to give him some space nd also I have to take care of my family.

Kunal bhai: choti..go home...we will stay here.

"No bhai..you all go to home. Phuphi, Maa, papa, aunty, uncle & hani are tried..take them home. Abhi & I will stay here with phupha" i said.

Veer : haan..kunal..you take them all to home. I will stay here with choti & abhi.

Kunal bhai nodded nd moved in to ICU.

Phuphi(softly) : I told you na kunal..i want to stay with my husband. I won't go home untill he is awake.

I heard as soon as i opened the ICU door, looked at kunal bhai who was trying to make her agree to go home with him.

I walked in nd gestured bhai to go out I will talk with her..

"phuphi..you are looking so ugly" I fake grimicked at her.

Phuphi: am i?

I nodded my head..

"phuphi..do you want to look beautiful infront of your husband when he will get conscious" I Simpered.

She didn't say anything continue caressing phupha hands..

" phuphi...phupha will wake up by tomorrow so now go home nd take some rest nd come back tomorrow morning with a fresh beautiful face till then Abhi & I will take care of your husband. " i said.

Phuphi: no choti..i don't want to leave him.

After lot of persuading, she went home along with all. I went in nd saw my phupha who were connected with wires & oxygen mask. Tears are on the verge of my eyes.

After sometime, I came out the room.

I sat outside on the bench where as Abhi came & sat beside me.

He didn't spoke a word nd lost in his thoughts. I don't know what to say.

My handome devil is busy in his own world leaving me.

Hey baghwan, why didn't you  bless me with a mind reader ability so that i can wander his the beast mind who was sitting beside me.

Uff..

Till now my abhi thought that his garima is alive but now he came to know that person who was searching from long ago was died a few years ago.

His face was held up with mixed emotions. I can't comprehend what is going on in him but one thing is sure that my devil was crying inside.

At morning..

I rubbed my eyes while yawning  nd glanced beside me..It's empty.

where is my Abhi?

I was about to stand up but stopped when I saw him coming out of  the ICU with blood shot eyes. His face is worn up due to tiredness. His hair was disheveled. For the first time in my life he was looking so hot in his messy state. I have an urge to kiss him lips to take away his pain.

Arghh...zoya...for god sake...this is hospital nd moreover you both are in pain..stop thinking dirty...stupid hormones...I loath my hormones right now.

I shrugged those  thoughts nd composed myself before i can do anything foolish thing in the hospital.

He just stood near the wall by leaning his back to it...he was looking devasted.

At the same time doctor came for checkup. Veer bhai went in with doctor.

My family came nd phuphi was running to the ICU room.Just then the ICU door opened nd doctor left giving us an assuring smile nd veer bhai said..

Veer bhai: phupha is awake....

All were revealed nd were thanking god. phuphi went into the ICU. I smiled nostoligic remembering their sweet gestures which they always do infront of me from my childhood.  They both love each other like a mad people.

All went in. Except Abhi & me. He walked to me.

Abhi: sweetheart...Do you want to go in.

I shook my head as no..I know now phupha is fine.

Now i have to take care of my devil. He may be not show his emotions out now but i know deep down he was dieing due to phupha & garima.

"I had already seen phupha last night..now he is awake nd all alright. I'm happy that he is healthy now" i said feeling ease.

Thankyou baghwan..

Abhi(cold): shall we go or you want to stay here.

"let's go" I said nd left to home without informing anyone.

At hospital:

Priya pov:

Thank god my ram is alive.

"Ram, are you fine now" I asked him sitting beside the bed.

Ram: I'm fine...

His eyes are roaming for someone..nd I know..to whom he is searching.

"They both came to the hospital ram nd even stayed here all over the night taking care of you by sending all of us home..they are outside " I said smiling  at ease.

Kunal: I will just call them in uncle.

Kunal said nd left..Ram smiled at me.

Few seconds later Kunal came in sadly.

Kunal: They both left to home...

Amith: I guessed that.

Ram: It's ok.. I know they don't want to meet me.

Akshita: It's not like that Ram,  they are looking tired. So they might left to home to get fresh up nd will come back.

Anjali(muttering): I don't think they will come back.

I think i should go nd get back my son & daughter in law.

Huff..

In this whole month, not even a single day we didn't remember our little bundle bubbly girl...our zoya..who now became a gorgeous women handling my son.

I know now they both are together as i saw how my cold son took his wife to honeymoon nd even proposed her nd even sorted out their things. So now i'm at ease.

Zoya pov:

We went home, my devil was silent all the the ride.

I got fresh up.I glanced at him he went to rest room.

I went to kitchen nd made breakfast for us.

He came down all ready to go to office..

Abhi: I am leaving to office if you  want to go to hopital then make lunch for them. My father likes your food.

He said was about to go..

"A-Abhi..breakfast" I said with hopeful eyes.

Abhi: I don't have an apetite..you have it.

He left saying that. How can I eat when my husband is in pain.

I left to hospital nd saw veer bhai outside speaking in his phone.

"bhai" he looked at me with a smile.

I handed the lunch to him. He took it while ruffling my hair adoringly. He ended the call.

Veer bhai: go in..phupha is asking you nd my idiot friend. Where is he?

"bhai, i don't think phupha will appreciate our presence nd Abhi didn't came. He left to office...nd bhai, give this to phupha..I made a healthy pordige for him..take care of him..i am leaving to office" i said smiling sadly.

Veer bhai: but choti...phupha is asking for you & Abhi. Please go in choti. He is feeling regret for what he done with you both. Not only him but everyone are feeling guilty for hurting you both.

I know that they are gulity by the look at their faces when they all saw both of us at the ICU. Nd they have to feel remorse....They all have to come to both of us nd should apologize to us then only i will think about speaking with them till then i won't.

As their child nd daughter in law i love them nd had fullfilled my responsibility by sharing their pain nd taking care of them when they are not well but that doesn't mean i will forget everything.

I will only forgive them when they say sorry to me nd pamper me like I'm the queen of the brindavanam mansion😂

I grinned thinking at the thought...my mother in law aka my phuphi massging my head while my Anjali aunty massaging my legs with her beautiful manicure hands...haha..nd my maa feeding food for me.

Woah...awesome😂😅😇

Veer : choti..

I came out of my wonderful thoughts nd said a bye to bhai nd left quickly with out responding to him smiling widely thinking at that thought.

And about phupha & uncle. I will think about them later but first i have to take care of my Abhi with that I left to my office.

***

I came back home...nd made dinner for us..hoping my devil will eat.

One hour passed he didn't return. I called him but didn't lift the call. So, I sent a meassage asking about his whereabouts.

After few minutes...He replied that he will reach in one hour.

I waited in the hall...sitting on the couch slowly I drifted to sleep.When I woke up I was in bed nd beside me the place is empty.

Maybe he went to gym..

I got up nd fresh up. I went to kitchen.

I glanced at the food which I prepared last night is not at all touched.

That means he didn't ate last night.

I don't havd a heart to waste more food so I decided to not to cook anything when he is not eating if he didn't then i too don't feel like eating.

I waited for him but he didn't came. Where is he..I searched for him in thd entire house but i didn't find him.

I took my mobile nd called him..

"hello abhi where are you"

Abhi: i'm at office..i left early as i had a meeting.

"ok"i said controlling my tears.

Tears are brimming in my eyes..i wiped my tears thinking i have to be strong for my Abhi.

I left to office nd when i came back i felt lonely.

Two weeks passed it's became routine..

As today is sunday. He is at home. Laying on bed while gazing at ceiling blankly.

I don't know what to do with him.

Uff..

I laid on the bed nd moved closer to him while placing my head on his chest by side hugging him.

He immediately wrapped his arms around me nd started nuzzling his face in my chest like a baby. I started playing with his hair while he was finding peace in me.

Few minutes later i felt wet on my bossom.

Hoyee..is my abhi crying..😢

Hey baghwan...please make me strong. I can't see him like this.

"Abhi" I called him softly but he didn't budge.

I called him again while kissing his hair.

"shuu..Abhi...look at me" i said.

He raised his from my chest with full of tears in his eyes..

I felt like my heart was squeezing in pain when i saw his tears.

"Abhii" Tears btimmed in my eyes.

Abhi: zoya.

He sobbed while hugging me tightly more by mumbling.

Abhi: I never thought that I would be the reason of my father heart attack.

What nonsense he is speaking...

"Abhi...what are you speaking" i said making him look at me.

Abhi: Because of me my father got an heart stroke zoya. If I didn't search of that garima then he wouldn't know about her whereabouts nd he wouldn't know that she is died. My garmia phuphi is died she is no more."

He was weeping...nd my heart was paining for him..Idiot..how can he blame himself.

" Nd here i was thinking to find her to make my family complete...nd nd you know what zoya I miss her so much from the day she left. In my childhood i had a hope that may be she might come for me as she is the one who took care of me in presence of my parents as they are busy in their work...nd i won't blame my mom & dad for it because even they used to work day & night but they always tried to spend time with me amid of all this i became so attached to garima as she is the one used to spend more time with me in absence of my parents. But suddenly garima disappeared from me. Just think for once zoya at the age of 5yrs old what i had to go through.  At that time i felt like everybody will leave me so that's when i made walls around my heart so that no one will hurt me but all those walls are brokem by you. So I decided that by hook or crook I make you fall in love with me but before I do that you already fell for me."

Naughty devil....

" Nd you know, for the first time i was so sure that you won't leave me after seeing your obsession towards me nd mostly when my mom was filling your heart, soul & mind with her sweet words about her son aka me to you. After you came into my life I was so happy zoya nd I was elated when i married you legally. Even though it was sad day for us....one side of my heart was in pain for my maama & maami but the other half of my heart danced in happiness...my happiness doesn't have boundaries that finally your mine...your mine...my sweetheart is my mine...I'm complete now...but I felt like something is  incomplete. I don't know why?"

"Few years later, I found my answer for it. It is my family which was incomplete...as one day when we went to picnic i saw all our family enjoying in picnic...but one is missing that is garima. That day i thought to search for her but stopped the thought as I always thought that our family doesn't like her anymore. So even though i have an urge to find her but didn't nd forgotten about nd started busy in my studies , work & you. I was so delighted that now i had you in my life nd i am so happy but one day i heard my dad words..

"I wish you told me that you love someone then i would get you married to him. But what you did garima...you just assumed yourself everything and left us"

"You could have told me garima. You are my sister how could you think that i would reject your wish.why? I wanted you back in our lives same like the old days. I missing you so much garima. My chotibehen...I miss you"

Abhi: That day I saw pain in my dad eyes zoya. At that time, i understand how much he misses her nd how much pain he was hiding the pain in his heart. It pained my heart to see my dad like that sweetheart. All this while he was hiding his pain his heart and trying to be happy but instead he not all happy..he always misses his sister..my phuphi...garima"

"That's when I decided to search for her so that I can see my father in joyous nd also my wish to complete the family will also be fullfilled. With those thoughts i started searching for her but zoya, even though my dad wanted to see his sister but his anger was overtaking him nd he asked me not to search for her."

Finally he was letting out all his pain till now he hid in his heart. I'm glad that he was pouring his heart out.

"but i know deep down he wanted to see her, nd know about her whether she is fine or not..so i didn't listen to his words nd started searching for her but I never once thought that she is died zoya. "

"She is died.."

"My garima phiphi is died.."

"And my father was ill because of me"

Hey baghwan..why he is blaming himself..

Abhi: All this happened because of my mistake i can't even look into their eyes sweetheart. I can't..

"Abhi...stop it...stop blaming yourself for everything" I said sternly while my eyes are paining in tears.

"Abhi..look art me" I make him look at me by taking my plams to hold his face.

"It's not your fault...you started searching for her only for a good cause Abhi. Nd if you think that it's because of you it's wrong. If not today but later we will know it in anyway as the truth will unveil anytime. So don't blame fir yourself for phupha condition....nd Abhi...have you forgotten, you always says that when our loved one's die that doesn't mean they left us...they still live in our heart. So, may be garima died but she is in your heart...in our surroundings alive..."😦I said soothingly.

Abhi: I know sweetheart...but garima is not in my heart nd is around us alive because my heart always filled with my zoya...my sweetheart..my wife...nd thankyou for listening to me  sweetheart. Now i felt like a huge weight lifted from me. I felt like my heart is free from all those.

He smiled weekly at me nd slept  hugging my stomach. I hold him tightly nd started running my fingers in his hair...making him relaxed.

Slowly I too dozed off..

***

Next morning, I woke up feeling his weight on me. I groggily opened my eyes and saw my Devil sleeping on me. I kissed his forehead and was about to get up, but stopped when I heard his words.

Abhi(Whiny): Don't! I want to sleep.

He said like a kid and I giggled at his cuteness.

"I never thought that the great mafia king also behaves like a baby" I chriped playfully to make him come out of his grief.

Abhi(dotingly): I may be a mafia don to the outside world, but not to my sweetheart. For her, I'm always her Abhi...her devil....her beast.

He said gazing at me lovingly. I pecked his eyes, nose, cheeks and on his lips smiling at him, yet he gave a tiny smile and buried his face in the crook of my neck.

Huff...when will he will become normal person..😩

Few minutes later..

"Abhi, now leave me. I have to make breakfast. Because of you i didn't ate anything properly in this two weeks. " i said so that he will have his food today thinking about my poor stomach.

Abhi: why? Why are you spoiling your health. You know how weak you are?

Hehe...finally he is coming back..

"How can i eat when my hubby didn't ate anything" i said pouting.

He was sad nd kissed my lips nd said..

Abhi: sorry...sweetheart...because of me you were hungry. Go & prepare breakfast. I will feed you.

I grinned and left to get fresh up.I got ready nd made breakfast. I went up to check wether he got fresh up or not.

When I went in...I saw my devil.  He was standing infront of the cabinet nd was looking at a photoframe.

I went to him nd hugged him from behind.

"whose photo is that my dear devil" i said smiling.

Abhi: It's garima.

He said. I quickly left him nd took the photo in my hands as i never know how she looks like.

But as soon as I saw her...i was confused..

Is she the lady I know?
