I shoutedSiddhu came running with a jug of water. I made maa to lay in my lap and tapped her cheeks continuously but of no response. Then, I got the water from him and poured it in my palm. I sprinkled in her face and tapped again."Maa, get up...Did you hear me?" I screamed.Siddhu and I made her lay on the floor.I thumped her chest continuously to have the response. I can't console my crying brother. "Siddhu start the car, amma needs oxygen supply,"He ran out and started the car. I carried amma in my arms and get into the car. I made her lay comfortable in my arms. He drove the car fastly. As time was 11.30 p.m specialist doctors will not be found at this time. The Mumbai city was not that familiar to us.

He blinked his eyes intermittently to capture the viewin front of him."What am I seeing now is really happening?" His mind voice. He didn't forget to look at Dhiya at that time. Few minutes before he longed madly to have Dhiya nearer to him but he never expected her presence this earlier. It was like a miracle. He sends his silent prayers to God for sending Dhiya to him.

The specialist doctor who came for further treatment noticed Akshadh entering inside the room."Come inMr.Akshadh," said the doctor and Dhiya turned aside to see Akshadh. Dhiya looked at himfor few seconds and she averted the gaze as she couldn't see Akshadh in trouble. Akshadh
"Because, I love you Akshadh," confessed Dhiya.Akshadh stepped closer to her. Tears occupied their eyes. He looked at her without a blink. Dhiya blinked her eyes often to avoid the tears flowing heavily. The wind breeze and the rain drizzled touching the earth.Their eyes met often. Dhiya raised her voice slowly with tear-filled eyes, "Akshadh, come with me and let us try to bring your mom conscious. Now, she is more important to us," said Dhiya."Nope Dhiya, I can't face my maa. I killed her with my words. I am scared to see her in this situation. I couldn't see her not responding with closed eyes " he said miserably."Akshadh, I understood but gather the strength in you. You should face your maa. You should talk to her. Fortunately, she would get conscious. too then it will help to overcome the surgery easily," she pleaded.Siddhu came seeing his brother from distance. Akshadh stepped forward.

(Note: Changed the name Dr. Gokul Sharma as Dr.Madhan Sharma)Dhiya stood shocking seeing her best friend Dr.Madhan Sharma who stood opposite to her. She released the hug. Akshadh looked at Dhiya and noticed the changes in her face. She gazed straight and Akshadh turned back to see guessing someone was standing.Dhiya stood frozen. Dhiya excused herself from Akshadh and stepped towards Dr.Madhan. Akshadh understood her situation and he stood calmly."I need to talk to you Dhiya," said Dr.Madhan."Hmm," she hummed and went from there. Few minutes later Akshadh left the place."Dhiya, I don't know what is between Akshadh and you but as your best friend I can guess it and may be right too. As a doctor I have a small advice for you. Please get away from Akshadh because you knew Akshadh's mom was very weak and she respondeded only after Akshadh promised her. She was very stubborn and sensitive in this case. If she stress herself then

"Iam sorry to tell you if you started liking me. I have no feelings for you or for this marriage. Please stop calling me," Akshadh said his heart out then he felt completely relax for a second....After few seconds of silence, Akshadh was about to cut the call. Doctor's words echoed in his heart about his maa's health issues. He patted his head in frustration and he pressed the phone closely in his ears expecting the reply. He was confused for a seconds whether he tell this to Janu or some other.."OK, No problem Akshadh...I expected this from you but it doesn't matter to me," said Janu from other side.Akshadh was relaxed that he told his heart out to Janu but at the same time he got furious hearing her reply. How could she talk like this ignoring the feelings of others?"Don't develop feelings for me. I am not interested in this marriage.
