Anahita's POV

It had been two months since our marriage and no, we haven't consummated our marriage yet.

I was not mentally prepared for that intimacy yet, but now I think that I am ready and want him.

He has a night duty today, so he will be back at 5am.

I had put alarm and now I am waiting for him.

A few minutes later, the door of our room opens and he enters in looking really tired.

He smiled and me and kissed me forehead mumbling.

"I'll take a quick shower."

I nod and set out his night clothes.

After the shower, he lays his head on my chest and closes his eyes snuggling like a baby.

I move my fingers in his hair and he falls asleep almost immediately.

I keep looking at him with a smile. I love this man so much.

I didn't even realise when I slept while admiring my husband.

I woke up at 9 too see Abhiraj still sleeping in the same position with his head on my chest.

I carefully lay him on the pillow.

He groans but sleeps again. I kiss his forehead and get ready for the day quickly.

I help mummy make breakfast and then quickly leave for hospital.

I reach the hospital and was informed that there is going to be an important surgery that I have to assist.

I was asked to get the patient ready and I froze when I saw who the patient was.

It was a little kid of about 6 years.

He had a rare heart disease. He had a rare type of heart infection. 

His parents were sitting with dried tears.

I read his report. His condition was critical and there were only 7% chances of him surviving the surgery.

I tried to blink my tears away and asked the nurse to get the boy ready for the surgery. I couldn't even gain the courage to look at the boy's parents because I couldn't lie to them that their son will be safe.

The surgery started and I was assisting Dr. Parv and another senior doctor.

They were peforming the surgery when suddenly the doctor on the monitor shouted.

"His blood pressure is dropping."

I looked at the monitor and then at the boy and then the doctors.

They were trying everything to stabilize him but I froze when we heard the loud beep noise.

I didn't dare look at anyone, not the doctors, not the monitor and not the boy. I just looked ahead trying to get my head in the right place.

Abhiraj's POV

I woke up at 2 pm. I was having my lunch when I received call from an unknown number.

"Hello."

"Umm-hello Dr. Abhiraj?"

"Yes."

"Dr. Parv this side. Can you come and pick Dr. Anahita up?"

I sat upright and asked.

"Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

"Aap please yaha aaiye I'll tell you."

(Please come here I'll tell you.)

I quickly got and rushed to the hospital. Please be fine Anahita.

I reached the hospital. I was literally in my sweatpants but that didn't bother me at the moment.

I saw Dr. Parv at the passage way and and went to him.

"Where's Anahita? Kya hua? Is she fine?"

(What happened?)

He sighed and told me the whole thing.

"I think this was the first time she went through something like this. And the fact that the patient was a little boy didn't help. Surgery ko aadha ghanta ho chuka hai and she is still in the washroom."

(Its been half an hour since the surgery.)

I thanked him and rushed to the washrooms. I knocked on the door and called for her.

"Anahita! Meri jaan! Please bahar aao. Talk to me Anahita."

(Please come out.)

A few minutes later the door opened and she came out with her eyes filled with tears.

I sighed and picked her up in my arms without any word. I took her out through the backdoor.

I buckled her up and she kept looking outside.

I held her hand during the whole ride.

I again picked her up and took her to our room. Mumma and everyone looked at us worried and I assured them through my eyes.

I settled on the bed with Anahita still in my arms. She was clutching my t-shirt tightly and her body was shaking with sobs.

"Shh! Bas! Anahita! Jo hona tha wo ho gaya na. You could not have done anything meri jaan. He was in pain. Aise socho na that he is freed from his pain now."

(Whatever happened has happened. Think that he is freed from that pain.)

I rubbed her back trying to explain her but my own voice was breaking thinking about the boy.

She looked at me with red eyes full of tears and cried.

"He was a kid Abhi. We lost him. Mai-mai uske parents se nazre tak nhi mila ski thi surgery se pehle. I can't even imagine their loss. We failed Abhi. We failed. We couldn't save him."

(I couldn't even meet their eyes before the surgery.)

She cried over and over.

"Listen to me. You guys did what you could right? Aur jo kuch bhi hota unki marzi se hota hai haina? If something like this happened then it would be for his good only. Wo kitne dard mai tha. He is free from that now."

(And whatever happens happens with His will right? He was in so much pain.)

I said wiping her tears. She hiccupped for some time and then slowly her cries died but her body was shaking due to all the crying.

After she was normal I said.

"Anahita! We re in a profession jaha ye sab cheeze common hai. Agar log thik hote hai toh sometimes things go downhill too. You need to be strong meri jaan. You can't break like this."

(We're in a profession where this is normal.)

She nodded and mumbled a sorry. I kissed her head and said.

"No need for that. I know when you experience something like this for the first time it disturbs you. Believe me mai bhi roya tha when it happened to me the first time. Lekin I knew that I had to be strong. For other people who need my help."

(I also cried when it happened with me the first time.)

She nodded and hugged me tightly.

"I love you."

She whispered and I held her protectively.

"I love you too."

I asked her to freshen up and I went down and explained everyone what happened and that she was fine now.

She came down and mumma asked her if she was ok and she nodded with a smile.

Dadi engrossed her in a conversation and soon her attention was diverted.

She and dadi were talking about some stuff that only they knew and the smile on her face made me smile too.
