Recap: Dhruv starts walking, and doesn't realise Vedika has stopped behind. Holding her head...SHE FANITS!!!
Episode 43 ๐
Dhruv is walking towards his cabin door, unaware that Vedika has fainted on to the floor.
Dhruv: [without turning around, in a happy tone cause he's khush that Vedika came to help him] Acha Vedika, how about going out for dinner tonight?
No response.
Dhruv: [Has reached the cabin door, suprised] Vedika?
Dhruv turns around and doesn't see Vedika behind him as he'd expected.
Dhruv: [shocked] Vedika tum kahan..[gaze falls on the fainted Vedika on the floor] VEDIKA!!!
Dhruv panicks. He runs to Vedika crouching down behind her. He puts his left hand under her head and with his right hand he checks her forehead.
Dhruv:[panicking] Vedika!! [hand on her forhead] [under his breath] Bukhaar to nahi hein [puts right hand on her cheek and lightly shakes her head] Vedika? Utho meri jaan!! Ye tumhe kya hogaya..Oh God! Utho!
Dhruv is panicking so bad! He's soooo worried! Vedika is not responding. Her forehead is sooo cold. She also looks so pale Dhruv just looks at her for a second, tears in his eyes
Dhruv: [pleadingly] Aankhen kholo Vedika..[angry at himself] Ye sub meri ghalti hein..Utho
Finally, Dhruv becomes practical. His left hand still under her head, he removes his mobile from his jacket pocket. He dials the doctor. His hands are trembling (bechara). The doctor is not picking up.
Dhruv: [frustrated and panicking] S***! Ye doctor kyu nahi ...stupid! [snaps his mobile shut and throws it on the floor] Damn!๐ก [Looks down at the unconscious Vedika] [to himself] Yahan bhet kar, Vedika ka chehra dekh kar, woh theek nahi hogi saale! Get her home! [Leans over and picks up his mobile and puts it back in his jacket pocket]
Swiftly, Dhruv slides his left arm under her neck and using his right arm to support her legs, he picks Vedika up. Carrying her, he walks out of his cabin and into the reception.
The receptionist immediately stands up in shock when she sees Dhruv walk out with the unconscious Vedika in his arms.
Receptionist: [shocked] Sir..sir..madam ko kya huwa? [she's panicking too]
Dhruv continues walking rapidly out the office.
Dhruv: [without looking at receptionist] Don't worry..just inform Bhayya ke me chalagaya hu..theek hein
Dhruv walks to his car. The driver is standing there waiting for Dhruv. When he sees the situation, he quickly opens the back door of the car . Dhruv carefully puts Vedika in at the back, laying her down on the seats. Dhruv quicly walks to the front passenger seat
Dhruv: [Panicking tone, to the driver] Jaldi karo..seedha ghar ...
As they zoooooooooom home, Dhruv bechara is in torture! He keeps looking to the back at Vedika, hoping that she's awoke
Dhruv: [to himself] Baghwaan..meri Vedika ko kya hogaya!! Agar isse kuch hojaye..to mein jeeteji marjaunga [looks at Vedika] Mein to marjaunga..
FINALLY, they reach home. Jaldi jaldi Dhruv gets out, opens the back door and carries Vedika out again. He walks into the Raizada house.
Dhruv: [walking towards him room] [shouts] Ma! Ma..aap kahan ho..jaldi se doctor ko bulao..MA!
Dhruv places Vedika carefully on their bed. As he's doing this, Kavita runs into the room.
Kavita: Kya hein Dhruv, tum kyu itna chilla...[her gaze lands on Vedika, shocked and panicky] Vedika! [she looks at Dhruv, scared] Kya huwa bahu ko Dhruv? [she walks right in, her hand over her mouth]
Dhruv: [sits down next to Vedika and puts his right head on her forehead..looks at Kavita, his voice breaking with emotion] Ma..ma..Vedika..Ma...Ye
Kavita walks up to Dhruv and puts her hand comfortingly on his shoulder.
Kavita: [scared, but trying to be brave..softly] Don't worry beta..Mein doctor ko phone kart hun...[she looks at Vedika again before walking out of the room to ring the doctor]
Dhruv is looking down at Vedika. He can't stop the tears now. He jus gazes at her, sorrowfully. He puts his left hand on her right hand which is on her stomach..He holds her hand tight!
Dhruv: [softly, trying to console himself] Nothing will happen to you Vedika..Nothing...
Dhruv doesn't move from where he is sitting! Vedika still hasnt regained consciousness. He keeps looking towards the door hoping that the doctor will walk in.
After a loooooooooong 10 minutes, the doctor finally walks in with Kavita.
Dhruv looks up and is relieved to see her. He moves out the way so that the doctor can check her. Kavita stands with Dhruv, her hand on his shoulder
Dhruv: [panicked] Doctor...isse kya..
Doctor: [calm but firm, she starts taking out her stethoscope and checking Vedika..her pulse and everything] What happened?..
Dhruv is standing right behind her.
Dhruv: I don't kno doctor..woh bilkul theek thi ..aur phir achanak se faint hogayi...
The doctor is still checking her pulse. She has a grim expression.
Dhruv: [reallly scared] Kya hein Doctor...[looks at his mom pleadingly] Ma ye kyu hosh mein nahi aati
The doctor stands up and faces Dhruv and Kavita.
Doctor: Aap dono please thori der bahar jaayenge. I want to do Vedika's thorough check up..
Dhruv gets more panicky
Dhruv: Lekin doctor...
Doctor: Don't worry Mr Raizada, she's in safe hands [the doctor then turns around and starts taking tools out of her bag]
Slowly, Kavita leads Dhruv out of the room. He keeps looking back at her, with teary sad expression. They close the door behind them. Kavita sits on the sofa and Dhruv puts his head on her lap. She caresses his head. They are silent.
After 15 minutes, the doctor opens the door and comes out. She has a very grim expression.
When Dhruv sees the door open, he hastily runs to the doctor.
Dhruv: What's wrong with her ? Usse hosh aaya [he desperately tries to look into the room, but the doctor is blocking his way]
Doctor: Haan, she's awake now...But very weak
Kavita: [whos is now behind Dhruv, relieved] Bhagwaan ka shukr hein..
Dhruv: [relieved but worried] Lekin usse huwa kya Doctor?
Doctor: [looks at Dhruv sternly] Tum apni biwi ka bilkul khayal nahi rakhte..
Dhruv: [shocked, looks at his mum's face then back at the doctor questioningly] Kya..what...aap ka matlab?
Doctor: Aur nahi to kya...Vedika ka blood glucose level was so low ke uska tabyat bilkul bighar gaya hein [she points out some figures on a paper she's holding]
Dhruv ignores the paper and continuesto look confused and questioningly towards the doctor
Dhruv: Meine kuch samjha nahi...
Doctor: Your wife hasn't had a morsel of food since last night! [Dhruv's mouth opens in shock. Kavita too is shocked] Bilkul low blood water potential and glucose level..tumhe pata hein how dangerous it is!
Dhruv is not listening. He is thinking about back in the office
FLASHHHH
Vedika tells him she has eaten
Dhruv shakes his head in shame.
Doctor is still talking
Doctor:...she needs rest, and a very good healthy meal! Warna she'll become aur serious..
Kavita: Thank you doctor..and don't worry..I'll take pura khayal of my bahu. Thank you for your time
Dhruv is still in a daze. He doesn't even realise when the doctor leaves. He's standing there, shocked, dismayed, angry and ashamed of himself
Dhruv: [to himself] It's all your fault..patni ne kuch bhi nahi khaya..aur tum khud mazaa se khaaliya..besharam..nalayak ๐ก
Kavita puts a hand on his shoulder.
Kavita: [soothingly] Ab tum jao Vedika ke paas...fikar na karo..mein uske liya khana bhejwaati hun...[because Dhruv doesn't respond, she pushes him towards the room] Jao..
Dhruv comes out of his daydream..he looks at his mum, shamefacedly
Dhruv: [to himself, looking at kavita ] Kaise karu uska saamna..
Slooowly, Dhruv walks into the room. Vedika is still lying down. Her face is turned towards the window (therefore not towards the door)..her right arm is on her stomach, left arm near her head)..when she hears the soles of Dhruv's shoes, she turns her face slowly...
Dhruv is gazing at her..soo ashamed and yet soo mesmerised by her beauty and innocence...
Vedika has turned her face completely..her tired, sad eyes meet Dhruv's sad ashamed teary eyes...they just look into each other's eyes..he is still walking slooowly towards her..she doesn't attempt to sit up..they r jus looking deep into each other's eyes...
