The trio waited outside the OT. Prathisha messaged Rudra about Prisha's whereabouts and he rushed to meet her. Pratha was pacing to and fro restlessly, Rishab came to her.

R: Pratha? Aisay idhar udhar ghoomne se Prisha jaldi toh nahi uth jaye gi na? Baith jao

Pratha: Rishab, please, ek toh humari beti itni ziddi, us pe tum bhi mujhe kuchh bhi karne ko force nahi karo, jab tak doctor bahar nahi aye ga, main toh aisay he bechain ho kar ghoomti rahoon gi.

R: Pratha, Prisha papa ki bahadur bachi hai, dekhna uthay gi aur kahay gi ke maa aap ro kiun rahay ho? Dekho mujhe, main toh theek hoon.

Before she could answer, Shweta came there with baby steps and with her gaze lowered. She approached Pratha.

Sh: Pratha aunty, Prisha ka jab ye haal hua na, toh us ne mujh se kuchh kaha tha

Pratha: kya kaha tha?

Flashback:

Shweta exited the captain's cabin and rushed to Prisha.

Sh: Prisha? Prisha

She said taking her head in her lap.

Prisha: Shweta, maa... se... ek baat kaho gi?

Sh: kiun? Tum kahan ja rahi ho? Kuchh nahi ho ga, hum bas land karne lagay hain Prisha

Prisha: nahi Shweta, please ek baar... Sun toh sahi... Maa se kehna, Pushpa, I hate tears.

Shweta couldn't control her tears.

Sh: pagal ho gayi hai kya? Chup ho ja, nahi marray gi tu, pagal!

Prisha: aaj main agar marr bhi gayi na... Toh ek fauji ki maut maroon gi, marr ke bhi logo'n ke dilo'n mein zinda rahoon gi, aur in sab terrorists ko... Meri maut... phaansi ke phanday tak pohnchaye gi, dekh lena.

Sh: pagal ho gayi hai? Aisa nahi boltay Prisha.

The plane landed. Everyone got busy with their luggages, Shweta got up and opened the door for everyone, that's when Prisha dragged herself out sliding out of the door.

Fb end.

Pratha cried hearing Prisha's words for her from Shweta, she hugged Shweta who hugged her back.

Sh: aunty please roiye mat, woh theek ho jaye gi.

Just then the operation theater bulb went off. The doctor came out. Rishab rushed to him.

R: doctor, Prisha?

Pratha released the hug and even the duo rushed to him.

Sh: kaisi hai Prisha?

Dr: us ko 2 goliyaan lagi hain, ek back par, ek arm par, ek goli usay chhoo ke guzar gayi, agar teesri bhi lag jaati toh shayad usay bachana bohat mushkil hota. Hum ne operate kar ke bullets nikaal di hain, lekin phir bhi hum usay 24 hours ke liye observation mein rakhein gay. Baaki vitals sab theek hai, abhi us ko ward mein shift kar dein gay, phir aap un se mil saktay hain, excuse me.

He went. Prisha was brought out on the stretcher with a bandaged arm, her eyes were closed, the trio accompanied them, Rudra too came and while shifting her, her hand slipped out of the blanket which was draped on her and Rudra noticed a bracelet on her hand, he got tears in his eyes. Finally Prisha was shifted, the nurses exited the room. Pratha sat at Prisha's side. She looked at her emotionally and caressed her face lovingly.

Tu jo gayi toh soona hoga yeh jahaan
Pheeki pheeki hogi saari yeh daastan

Pratha: pagli, aisay wapis aanay ko kaha tha maine? Aisay? Zakhmi ho kar? Aray itne ghanto'n se teri maa, behen, Rudra aur tera baap tera intezaar kar rahay hain, aur tu aisay wapis aai.

Prathisha held Prisha's hand while crying and kissed it.

Tumse judi hai har khushi
Tere bina kya hai yahaan

Prathisha: apni jaan ko khatray mein daala sab ke liye? Ek baar bhi apni behen ka nahi socha ke agar aap chalay gaye, toh aap ki chhoti behen ka kya ho ga? I look up to you always didi.

Chaahein tumhein hum maange tumhe
Sun le dua yeh aasman

Rishab just looked at Prisha from a distance while crying.

Pratha: meri bachi, mumma ki laado, bachpan mein tu ne kaha tha, lekin mujhe kya pata tha tu ek din woh baat sach kar de gi

Flashback:

Little Prisha went on stage for poem competition and looked at Pratha who was sitting among the crowd, Pratha blinked her eyes at her assuring and encouraging her.

(the poem below is made by me)

Prisha: main chhoti si ek bachi hoon, par kaam karoon gi baray baray. Main urr sakti hoon, charr sakti hoon, jo bhi chahoon, main sab kar sakti hoon. Main chhoti si ek bachi hoon, par kaam karoon gi baray baray. Main superwoman ban jaaun gi, ek din main bhi urr paaun gi. Ab mere paro'n se chamkein gay, sab heeray moti jaray jaray. Main chhoti si ek bachi hoon, par kaam karoon gi baray baray.

Pratha clapped sitting among the crowd getting teary eyed happily seeing her daughter so confident and fearless. As Prisha finished, she ran to Pratha who stood up and picked her in her arms proudly and kissed her.

Fb end.

Pratha: aaj tu ne sach mein bohat bara kaam kiya hai Prisha, lekin ab please maa ke paas wapis aa ja, meri bachi.

Chote chote khwaabon ko aa jodenge
Yeh bhi vaada na tumhein ab chodenge

Prathisha: ab tum kaheen nahi jao gi didi, humara dil nahi lagta

She said to unconscious Prisha.

Jeena chaahe phir tere liye aankhein na pherenge
Saansein meri tu le le bhale, ab na tumhein jaane denge

Everyone cried.

************************************

Later, Prisha got conscious.

Prisha: (in weak voice) maa

Pratha's attention went to her.

Pratha: laado

She stood up and bent down to her kissing her forehead.

Prisha: maa

Pratha: aa gayi maa, ye rahi

She looked at Pratha tearfully.

Prisha: maa, m sorry, really sorry maa, I love my job I love my job kar kar ke humesha aap ki baat taal di na? Sorry maa, aur aap please ro mat, kaha tha na? I hate tears

She lifted her injured arm and wiped her tears painstakingly.

Pratha: bacha, main ab tujhe kabhi nahi jaane doon gi, us job pe toh bilkul nahi. Modeling kitni achhi ja rahi thi, chhor de na, ab toh chhor de, please?

Prisha: hmm maa, aap ka hukum, sarr aankhon par. Prisha resigns and rejoins modeling, great?

Pratha chuckled. Prathisha came to her with the doctor who checked her vitals.

Dr: now she's fine, you can get a discharge at evening.

Rishab came to Prisha.

R: Bacha, kiun panga liya un terrorists se? Humesha kehta hoon ke khatra lagay toh wapis aa jana.

Prisha: papa, toh phir papa ka bahadur bacha kaun?

Rishab burst into tears and went outside. Prathisha came to Prisha.

Prathisha: didi, aap pakka nahi jao gay na us job par?

Prisha: nahi, kaha na, maa ka hukum sarr aankhon par.

Prathisha: didi agar aap ko kuchh ho jata toh? Why did you...

Prisha: chup kar, kuchh nahi hua, okay? Aaj agar marr bhi jaati toh fauji ki maut marrti

Pratha: aeyy, aisay nahi boltay, marray tere dushman.

Prisha: maa, dushman? Oh (she turned to Shweta) un terrorists ka kya hua?

Sh: arrest ho gaye.

Prisha: oh thank God, dekha maa, saanp bhi marr gaya aur laathi bhi nahi tooti

Pratha: iss haalat mein bhi tujhe dialogue baazi se fursat nahi na?

Prisha chuckled and then her gaze went to Rudra.

Prisha: oye, Rudra, tujhe nahi milna kya mujh se? Come on, come to me.

Rudra walked to her, Pratha stood up and he sat at her place. Then Prisha proceeded to show him her hand which had the bracelet he saw earlier.

Ru: tu ne toh kaha tha birthday par...

Pr: mujhe pata kahan tha ke birthday mana bhi paun gi ya nahi.

Flashback:

Prisha lied injured with her head in Shweta's lap.

Prisha: Shweta, meri pocket mein... Rudra ka gift hai, nikaal.. Usay

Shweta pulled out the gift from her pocket.

Prisha: khol de

Shweta unwrapped the gift.

Prisha: kya hai is mein?

Shweta showed it to her, there were two bracelets, one had Rudra's name and other had her name. There was a letter as well.

Prisha: ahh, Shweta, yaar ye letter parh na please

Sh: "Prisha, aaj se theek 2 din baad tumhara birthday hai, aur ye mera gift hai tumhare liye, agar tumhe mera pyaar sweekaar hai, toh mere naam ki ye bracelet tum pehn lena. Main jaanta hoon tum darrti ho uss life se, lekin darrtay darrtay he sahi, aaj ek kadam meri taraf barha do. Tum he kehti ho na? Ke zindagi lambi nahi, bari honi chahiye? Aao, mil kar ek bari zindagi guzaarein, jis mein main, tum, humaray career aur humaray bachay hongay. Aur jab tum wapis aao na, toh apnay naam ki bracelet khud mujhe pehna dena Prisha. Yahi tha mera birthday gift, mera pyaar, tumhare liye. Rudra."

Prisha: Rudra wali bracelet mujhe pehna de.

Shweta took out the bracelet and made her wear it.

Fb end.

Ru: ohh, thanks Prisha, tumhe main bata nahi sakta main kitna khush hoon.

Everyone lightened up seeing Prisha move on. Prathisha brought the bracelet to Prisha and she tied her name's bracelet on his hand, everyone clapped happily.
