Shreya Pov

"I will call you later" I said and disconnected the call and ran towards that old man who collapsed while keeping his hands on his heart indicating that he is having an heart attack.

When I reached near them all of his bodyguards were surrounding him and shouting for an ambulance.

"Heyy heyy" I passed through the crowd and knelt infront of him

"Hey what are you doing??" One of the guard asked me and held my hand trying to make me leave.

"Heyy, I can--" I tried to speak but he again interrupted me

"No, stay away from him" 

This man is testing my patience now. This poor man is dying and he is trying to do his duty.

'Jab yehi hi nahi rhenge to duty kiske liye karega be yeh'

"Listen I can--" 

"I said--"

"Shut the fuck up, dikhta nahi hai he is dying and I am trying to help but you duty krlo pehle" I shouted at him and removed my hand

Everyone around us fell quite on listening me. 

"Now give him space to breath" I said and they all scattered around 

"Ambulance aa rhi hai??" I asked to that one guard who nodded his head

I opened my bag and took out some medicine that are prescribed by a doctor that can help in delaying the heart attack till we take him to the hospital.

"Bottle??" I asked and one of them handed it to me. I placed my one hand under uncle's head and with the help of one of the guard lifted his head and made him eat the medicine.

"Which medicine are these??" Guard asked

"Doctor se pooch Lena, now move" I said and gently laid back uncle's head on the ground.

His pale skin with wrinkles and eyes scrunched in pain white and grey hairs he looked someone known or I think I saw him somewhere but I shrugged that thought and started to press his chest. I interlocked my fingers and pumped his chest till the ambulance is coming.

"Sir, ambulance is stuck in the traffic" onenof the guard informed the one who was quite till now but can be seen worried and wore different outfit.

He wore a simple black shirt with jeans and bluetooth in his left ear. His hands are full of tattoos as his sleeves were folded till his elbow. His black hairs were pushed back in a neat and formal form. And his face was looking dangerous. Like tufaan se pehli wali Shanti types vibe it was giving.

" I think you should take him in one of the cars" I suggested. Till now uncle was a little stable but still unconscious.

He nodded and picked uncle up and placed him in one of the cars lined up on the road.

"You also come with us " that main guard said in his deep voice and I can't help but nod on seeing uncle's condition.

I sat beside uncle in the back seat and rubbed his chest repeatedly to subside the pain. The driver started the car and not long after we reached the hospital.

That guard brought the stretcher as soon as he got off the car with trail of doctors behind him. This old uncle must be someone influencial and powerfull.

They put the uncle on the stretcher and took him to the ICU. 

I thought to stay untill the doctor confirms that he is safe. I sat on the bench infront of the ICU and waited.

All of his guards secured the hospital and wre guarding his room. After a while doctor came from ICU and that main guard walked towards him

" How is he, doctor ??" He asked 

" He is safe because blood circulation was brought to normal and heartattack was delayed. I think someone gave him the medicines and brought his blood circulation to normal" the doctor said and left.

I sighed when I heard he is fine. I think now I should leave. I stood up and turned around to leave

"Thankyou" I turned around when I heard that guard saying and found out that he was saying this to me

"Ohh it's fine. It was my duty" I said and he nodded his head

"Your bags are in the car" he said and then I atricked me that my groceries were left there on the road.

'kitti pagal hu yaar me' 

" Thankyou" I said and left from there. Exiting the hospital there stood a guard with my bags in his hand. I took them and thanked him.

"We will drop you to your house" he said 

"Ohh no no. I can go " I said looking around for my cab which I booked on my way out

"Its boss's order" he said and opened the door of the car.

"Really iski koi jarurat nahi hai and ohh my cab is here" I said and moved forward in the direction of a cab.

Settling inside it I told my address to the driver and at the time I reached home it was 11'o clock. I guess Aaj sirf Maggie se hi kaam chalana padega because I don't think I have energy to make a meal for me.

Next day I reached downstairs after getting ready for the office and saw everyone sitting in the living room. Silently I reached near dadu and wished him good morning. When I felt everyone looking at me I knelt infront of him and said

"Dadu, today is your health checkup. Let's go" 

He nodded looking how uncomfortable I was infront of everyone. He stood up with the help of his stick. From the last few weeks he was getting weaker and weaker even after consuming his meals and medicines on time. So I thought to book an appointment for him yesterday when I was in the hospital.

I held his hands and we both left the house and settled inside my car. After buckling his seatbelt I drove towards the hospital. Inbetween I saw a flower stall near the hospital so I thought to buy a bouquet for uncle with some fruits.

After buying them we reached the hospital and today dadu was shockingly silent. He didn't even asked about yesterday but I shrugged that thought thinking maybe he is tired from yesterday's traveling. But still I told him about yesterday's incident and he finally said something. He asked about uncle and how was he.

When we got off the car and moved towards the hospital entry I was shocked to see so many security guards around it and many cars were also there. 

'unhi uncle ke liye hai kya yeh sab?' I thought

After entering in the hospital I asked the receptionist about the appointment and she told us the office where doctor will be available.

So we walked towards the office and met the doctor. He walked inside with dadu and till then I thought to go and check uncle up.

So I turned towards his room and there I saw that main guard talking with doctors. I reached behind him and called out

"Hey, excuse me" he turned around with confused face but soon relaxed when he saw me.

"Yess" he said

"How is uncle?? Actually I bought these for him...can you give him??" I asked and forwarded my hand which was holding the bouquet and fruit basket.

"Sir wants to meet you. He told me allow you to meet him whenever you come. If you want you can go and meet him" he said and I nodded thinking I will see his condition by myself.

He opened the door and there I saw uncle lying on the bed talking to a doctor but still looking very weak.

We entered inside and on seeing his guard the doctor took his leave. Uncle looked towards us and I think he understood on seeing a girl beside his guard that I was the one who helped him.

His guard left after whispering something to him. Now only me and uncle are left.

"Hello uncle, How are you ??" I asked and bowed a little

"Hello beta, I am good.. Thankyou for saving me bachha" he said in his weak voice and muffled voice because of the oxygen mask.

"Aree nahi nahi uncle, thankyou ki koi baat nahi hai. It was my duty aur meri jagah koi aur hota toh woh bhi yahi karta" I said and kept the things in my hand beside his bed

"Har koi nahi karta beta Aaj ke zamane me" he said

"Why are you standing come here and sit" he pointed towards the stool beside his bed.

I set on it and he lifted his hand, I was confused but moved forward to listen if he wants to say something but he kept his hand on my head and said

"Always stay happy" 

"Thankyou uncle, ohh meine apna introduction toh Kiya hi nahi.. I am Shreya Roy" I said with a smile 

"Roy" he whispered and I nodded 

"Uncle aapki family se koi nahi aaya??" I asked when I noticed no one was here from his family.

"I made them go back as they were with me all night but my younger grandson is here only, talking with the doctor" he said and I nodded

"Aap yaha kaise??" He asked 

"Actually I came here with my dadu for his checkup and thought to check on you" I told him fumbling with my fingers

" Your dadu?" He asked and I nodded

"Can I meet him??" He asked 

"Ofcourse..and I think his checkup would have finished till now..aap rest kijiye I will come back with him" I said while checking my watch and when he nodded I stood up and left his room.

Reaching near where dadu was I noticed him coming out with doctor looking tensed.

"How is he doctor??" I asked and doctor looked at dadu and then at me

"His health is good and some of the reports will be coming later. Till then I wrote some of the medicines and those are vitamins. Make sure he take them on time." Doctor informed me with a smile.

I nodded and asked few more questions regarding dadu's health. After that I asked dadu that if he wants to meet that uncle or not and he nodded so I took him towards his room.

When we reached near uncle's room and I knocked then we entered. As we entered inside and I turned around to close the door I heard something falling on the floor along with something shattering, I hurriedly turned around and saw dadu's stick was on the ground as well as the glass unclewas holding.

But before I could say something I saw dadu hurriedly moving in uncle's direction and they both hugged eachother tightly. It was good that the shattered glass was on the opposite side of where dadu was.

I was shocked to see both of them hugging eachother and crying??? I was sure I heard them sobbing on eachothers shoulder. 

" Neel " I heard dadu whispering while sniffing.

"Krishu" then I heard uncle saying my dadu's name as a nickname.

I was still standing near the door so I decided to go near them but stay quite. I don't want to disturb them when I myself saw that they are friends.

"Kaisa hai yaar?? Itne time se call kyu nahi kiya mujhe tune??" Uncle asked while breaking the hug

" Sorry yaar" dadu said wiping uncle's tears.

"Beth na mere pass, bahut saari baatein krni hai Terese" uncle said patting the space beside him on the bed.

Dadu sat their and I silently kept his stick behind him. He turned around and saw me. Now I can see the glint and happiness in his eyes which was missing from I don't know when. He grabbed my hand and brought me infornt of him and smiled 

"Meet my granddaughter, Shreya and beta meet him my bestfriend from childhood Neel Singh Shekhawat " dadu introduced uncle to me, tab hi mein kahu meine inko kahi dekha toh hai

" I know her, she is the reason because of which I am still alive and sitting infront you. Agr yeh nahi hoti toh mein bhi zinda nahi hota" uncle said

"Nahi uncle Aisa kuch nahi hai aur aap aisa mat boliye" I said to which he just smiled

"Chaliye aap log baatein kijiye till then I will go and bring your medicine " I said to dadu and walked out.

After coming back from purchasing the medicines for dadu I entered the room and saw a young man standing beside them. Sensing me they all turned towards the door. He would be around 25, he was well built with black hairs and most mesmerizing thing was his eyes..he has hazel eyes. Seeing him I remembered someone. But something was off, both dadu's and uncle's eyes were red indicating they had cried. I will ask about it later.

"Aree Shreya beta, aap aagye meet him my younger grandson Vihaan Singh Shekhawat and vihu she is the one who saved me" uncle said Introducing us.

"Heyy" I said and forwarded my hand in a handshake 

"Hello, and thankyou for saving my dada ji" vihaan said shaking my hand.

"Aree, don't thank me it was my duty... Dadu chale mujhe office bhi jana hai phir" I said turning towards dadu.

He nodded and stood up and vihaan touched his feet.

Then dadu hugged uncle and said something in his ears

"Okay uncle, take care and please take your medicine on time" I said and joined my hand 

"You can call me dadu beta just like you call krishu" uncle said and I looked at dadu to see him nodding but as uncle said this vihaan turned towards him instantly, it was like he heard Neel dadu say something he cannot believe but then smirked and nodded.

"Okay dadu, see you" I said and held my dadu's hand and turned to walk out of the room but startled when a nurse came and bumped into me pouring all the water on me that she was holding

"I am so so sorry, it was by mistake" she said hurriedly looking scared that I might scold her.

"Hey hey, it's okay" I said holding her shoulder and moved her a little aside from where the water is.

"I am really sorry ma'am, it wa-" she again started apologizing.

"It's okay, it was not your mistake. Hmm" I said gently and she nodded still looking unsure.

I smiled and looked at dadu who was smiling then I held his hand and walked out of their.

I then dropped dadu back and I drove towards my office.
