Shivaay quickly reached the hospital in a disheveled state. Hairs messy, clothes untidy and teary eyes. He ran inside to a specific room an stood outside to see doctors treating a person. He touched the glass outside the ward with tears continuously falling down his cheeks. His pain was visibly seen in his state he was in. He felt hand on his shoulder but didn't bother to look behind as he was numb at that time. A wave of memories hit him hard. While remembering the past, he heard a voice.

V: Bade Bhaiyaa.

But no response. Though Shivaay was present there, it seemed as if his mind, heart and soul were somewhere else.

V: Bade Bhaiyya please don't take tension jiji will be fine.

The voice is none other than Gauri's, Annika's younger sister and best friend and the girl inside the ward with doctors checking her is none other than Annika. Gauri was also devastated seeing her only family, her sister attached to wires, breathing with an oxygen mask, needles pierced in her arms and monitors beeping. Doctors were continuously checking Annika. When Gauri called Om telling him about her sister's condition, he went running to Shivaay, not caring about the interruption which caused in the show. And Shivaay listening to Om broke down.

S: How can I not be tensed Gauri, Annika is in coma from past 6 months. Everyday, every moment, every minute, every second I wake up with a hope that today everything would be fine and my Annika will come back to me. But everyday these doctors are decreasing my hope. Every day I die seeing her like this and think that maybe I should also die with her but then Annika's face comes in between and tells me to not be selfish and wait for her. But for how long? How much more I have to wait and hope **cracking voice**. I'm done Gauri, now I cant handle more. Today during concert when Om told me that Annika's health was deteriorating, I couldn't handle it. **crying hugging Gauri** I want my Annika back Gauri, I want her back. Please tell her na. She is your sister right and also listens to you the most. Tell her to not trouble us more and wake up. I promise I will not call her names and will always listen to her and her wishes. But tell her to get up. Please......

G: Bade bhaiyaa, ** making Shivaay stand back again** not only you, we all need Annika di. You know na that she loves to trouble everyone and that's what she is doing right now. Don't worry she wont go anywhere leaving us. She has to live; for you, for her younger sister, for her devars, for her whole family who is waiting for her everyday. I promise you. Pinky promise **she intervenes her pinky finger with Shivaay** And please take care of yourself, see how you look. It looks like you have turned into a ghost. You know if Annika di sees you like this, she will beat you with her chameli and chandni. Ok.

Shivaay nodded his head and the trio waited for doctor to come out. Its been 2 hours but there was no sign of doctor. A nurse cam half an hour before and when they asked about Annika, she said that they can't say anything right now and the doctor is checking her. Another 15 minutes passed and finally the doctor came out. The trio bombarded him with infinity questions, not letting him speak. The doctor stopped them and asked them to say one by one.

S: Annika, how is she?

G: Why was she breathing heavily before?

O: Is anything serious?

D: See guys, its critical. Annika is still not responding to any treatments. And by time passing, her condition is getting worse. I suggest you all to spend some time talking to her. Maybe she might show some response while listening to her loved ones. That's all I can say right now. But please I ask you to not keep high hopes about it.

Saying this, doctor went from there while the three ran to Annika's ward and sat beside her. Shivaay held her hand and kissed it while Gauri kissed Annika's forehead.

G: Di please get up and talk to me. Your sissy is waiting for you since months now and she wants you, I want your support, love and care. Please di, don't be so cruel. You are the only one I have after our parents died. Please.

O: Bhabhi please get up. You know everyone is waiting for you since months. Choti maa, mom and dadi always pray, dad and chote papa needs her lovely daughter in law, Me and Rudra needs her cheerful bhabhi. Please

S: Leave her Om, she won't listen because she is stubborn, more than me... she wants to show attitude and want all of us to beg in front of her to get up. She doesn't care about anyone except herself. Leave it.

O: Shivaay what are you saying? How can you talk like this to her.

S: Then what should I do Om, you tell me. We are bending in front of her but still she can't accept. I'm tired Om.... I'm tired. **to Annika** please Annika wake up. I promise I will not scold or shout at you but please wake up.

Shivaay tightened the hold of her hand and kept his head on her hand. Gauri and Om also sat only the sofa near the bed. Another half an hour passes. Suddenly Shivaay's phone rang. He picked it up and went outside to talk. There Annika's finger showed some movement but no one noticed it. Shivaay came back again and started telling Annika about today's concert. While he was talking about it, he felt a hand in his back of palm. Shivaay was shocked as he saw Annika's hand in top of his. She made a movement. He woke up Gauri and Om and immediately called the doctor. Doctor can and checked Annika. While checking, Shivaay was praying to the gods to make everything fine. Doctor came out with a good news.

D: Good news guys, she responded. Well it's a shock that she responded after months and the improvement is also good. Its bcz of you all and your love that has brought her back. She is still unconscious. We don't know when she might wake up but hoping it to be soon seeing the reaction right now. Good luck.

He kept his hand in Shivaay's shoulder and went off. There Shivaay, Om and Gauri had smiles on their faces to hear the good news after months. They hugged each other and went inside Annika's ward while Om called everyone at home and told them about her recovery. Another 4 hours passed. These 4 hours were like 4 years for Shivaay. He was getting impatient to hear her voice after so long. Finally, he saw Annika flickering her eyes, trying to open them. She held her hand and caressed it. Gauri and I'm we're smiling looking at each other. Annika slowly opened her eyes to see a sudden wave of light hitting her eyes. She closed her eyes back and again tried to open them, this time successfully. She saw Shivaay siting beside her along with Om and Gauri. Her lips curved upwards into a small smile.

A: **stammering** Shivaay....

S: Annika. Shhh don't talk only take rest. We will talk later. You just woke up from coma. Finally god listened to all of our prayers.

To which Annika just smiled.

G: Di!!!!!

Anniak looked at the owner of the voice and saw Gauri who was in tears. She indicated her hand towards Gauri, signing her to come near her. Gauri held Annika's hand and started crying.

G: Di promise you will not do any stunt again. And you will take care of yourself. Do you know how scared we all were when we got to know about your accident.

A: Sorry Gauri... I promise I will take care of myself from now onwards.

Hearing this Gauri hugged Annika to which Om and Shivaay smiled.

O: Guys I'm going to the doctor to look up to the formalities. Gauri you also accompany me.

G: Me... but why???

Om indicated Gauri towards Shivaay and Annika and she understood. They both went to meet the doctor leaving Shivika alone in the room.

S: All this happened because of me. On that day if I wouldn't have told you to come quickly, you wouldn't had driven the car fast, and the accident wouldn't have happened.

A: Shivaay its not your fault. In fact because if you I woke up. You know when you were telling me about your song and also made me listen it, after that my body responded. It's because of your love and your voice I woke up. So don't blame yourself.

Shivaay started at Annika and hugged her instantly. Annika kisses Shivaay's cheeks and they both joined their foreheads together.

THE END!!!
