Author's POV:

There was pin drop silence outside the ICU.

Kapoor's and Sharma's were all waiting outside the ICU to once listen from doctor that he is out of danger.

Saudamini Daadi was only crying non-stop while Dhruv was consoling her hugging her tight.

Ahaana was silently shedding tears.

Sharma's were all worried and consoling Soudamini Daadi who was crying non stop!!!

Rony and Archit had gone to get prescribed meds. Pooja was inside the ICU with other surgeons and colleagues.

Tanmay was hugging Heli tightly in his arms

While Tan and Kisha were sitting next to a broken Ishaani!!!

She wasn't in her senses!

Even a tough and heartless father Hrishikesh was also Hugging Vihaan and crying although Raashi and Rehaan left to home like they never cared...

But Ishaani was in a state of shock!

Tan was holding her hands and trying to console her!!!

It's been 12 hours since last night and he's still under observation in ICU.

Soon doctors came out saying he is out of danger now. But only one of them can meet him.

Daadi went and met Dev and was with him all the time.

She was crying non stop.

Although Ishaani was dying to see Dev just once how could she stop his grandmother from going in!

Dev was Saudamini's first grandson! She loved him dearly.

Pooja spoke to Dhruv and informed everyone that he is fine and they will shift him to ward within evening.

Pooja handled everything saying it's a case of drinking and slipping of the reeling.

Dev had hurt his head while falling down and later fell into the pool.

Thankfully there wasn't any surgery done! Pooja said.

Although everyone was asked to go home and come in evening.

Ishaani didn't budge from her place.

Tan and Kisha consoled her.

Finally he was shifted to ward!

Ishaani's POV:

(Next day morning sitting next to Dev in a ward while he is still sleeping! He had a bandage on his head, his leg had a fracture and his shoulder dislocated too!

(Looking at him..... She started crying....)

You were right....

You.... Didn't let the engagement happen ,🥺

I....

I stopped it 😢

You didn't leave either!!!

We got him out of that place!!!

On an ambulance 😢🥺

Why Dev Why....😢😭

Why do you kill me like this one second after other 😭😢

Just kill me once and for all!!!

I can't see you like this!!!

It kills me a thousand deaths 😭

Why !?..

Don't you see how much you affect me???

Should you get another proof ???

Why do you try to hurt me to death Dev😭

I love you 😢😭

I have always loved only you my Devil...

3 years and I only know you...

Sense you...

Feel you...

😭

I still do and I will love you till death and maybe even after that 😭

But I can't marry you... I can't accept this relationship...

If love is my need! Self respect is my life!

It's only given me pain...

😭

It's hurt not just me my family...

I can't get married to you because although I have seen you change its tough to trust you Dev!!!

You are obsession that my heart craves for...

But life needs stability...

My broken heart caused my family go through hell and back...

That's why I stay away from you baby 😭

But you pull me into you like a magnet...

I am helpless around you!!!

And I hate that helplessness!!!

Hattte it 😭😭😭'

(Crying non stop)

'Im... sorry Dev... It's like when we had time we didn't have each other and now when we each other we don't have time to fall in love!

I know you are getting influenced under my presence to get back to me when I'm with someone right!

You feel jealous!!!

I know 😭

But that's alone not enough for a lifelong commitment!

Trust. Love... respect.... sharing... friendship

None of them is between us!!

I will marry Rehaan asap so your life complicates lesser!'

Maybe this is the last time I do this to you...

It's a goodbye kiss Dev...

(She bent towards his lips and kissed lightly on his lips and pecked it. Multiple times 😭... While a drop of tear escaped her eye and fell on his cheeks. Soon she left from the hospital!

Kisha consoled Ishaani and took her home.)

Authors POV:

(In the hospital ward room Pooja bending to check upon Dev...

Tan, Tanmay Rony, Archit came inside the ward and smacked him on his shoulder...

Wincing in pain...he opened his one eye...

'You ass... She cried a lot man!!! I Guess we must stop this!' Archit said...

'I can't tell them he's perfectly alright so soon .. continue this drama few more days!!!' Pooja said...

'She is right man... No one should know this was well planned act to cancel the engagement else we will all be in soup! Specially me... Soudamini Daadi think's I'm a responsible man now... she'll kill me!' Rony said breathing hard...

To which slowly Dev opened his eyes and said staring at the ceiling...

'Guys... She confessed...😢

She loves me yaar😢'

In no time Dev broke down like a baby and Tan consoled him with a manly hug.

'I can't give her more tears... She is finding it tough to trust me Tan but you know right I love her...I really do 😢'

To which Tan said...

'I know I know don't worry man... relax...you are not doing anything wrong! She was obsessed to just get Revenge from you...in that obsession she wanted to hurt herself that too for a lifetime!

By marrying that fraud Rehaan'

Just then they heard a voice from near the door...

It was Vihaan!

'She is still is planning to marry Rehaan Bhai! I just got a call from mom saying Ishaani insisted of an early marriage and that she wants it done before your discharge! She's hell-bent! '

Dev shot up saying 'Whatttt'😳

It hurt him hard on his shoulder

Pooja caught his hand saying...

'Dev slowly... Although your head injury and is fake...Your shoulder has a slight dislocation and Your leg has a minor fracture due to the harness fuckup!!! Careful with that!'

'But thankfully Archit managed it perfectly on time and Vihaan kept all guests away from getting into this poolside corner till we cleared the harness setup!!!'
Pooja said.

'But I have hurt her a lot man...do I still deserve her' Dev asked his friends...

Vihaan hugged his brother saying...

'Love is Love Bhai... everything is fair in love and war. She was going to spoil her Life by marrying an already engaged Rehaan who was money hungry. His fiance was also a manipulated stupid girl who would never confess the truth! I know Jennie very well! She's Rehaan's puppet! If you wouldn't stop this

A...he would make Ishaani's life a living hell.

B...As Daadi is giving Ishaani her shares in Gaya's... making her a equal share partner post marriage. Rehaan will get easy access to Gaya's!!!

You don't deserve that life! Neither does she!!!

Bhai she was always yours Rehaan and his cheap plans will NEVER come true. The minute I got a call from Daadi I knew this would blow up and that's why I was ready to join you in!

Knowing Rehaan would make stories to save himself I thought it's best to get Ishaani fake a marriage with you Bhai...

Fake pandit... fake setup

And once Rehaan sees this happening he will go mad and show his true colors!!!

That's the only way out!!! Please bhai don't backout now!!! And I feel you look sexier as DK rather than innocent Dev' Vihaan consoled Dev while still teasing him..

Everyone laughed....

But Dev smiled and said...

'Vihaan... Ishaani loves Dev not DK! And just by growing beard I can't become that monster again!

I love being Dev!!! Ishaani's Dev!❤️

I love being in love...

I realised it late but it's beautiful ❤️

Atleast for next 7 lifetimes I'm booked for my Ishaani' he said...

While everyone started hooting...

And Dev blushed hard ❤️

And continued...

'Maybe that's why it's tough to hurt her and my family just to get Rehaan's truth out! Mann Daadi cried a lot' Dev said by lightly pressing temple of his head.

'Bhai...Daadi trusts Rehaan blindly!

That idiot sugar coats everything!!! We can't take the risk of telling Daadi... plan may backfire!

And anyways....

It's the final coin!

And come on...

It's just a drama!

I will organise fake pandit in the temple.

Just final check mate!

The minute bhabhi sees Rehaan's true shades we can reveal it's a sham marriage! And later you both can take your own sweet time and plan of real marriage... we will wait for an eternity but as of now save her from Rehaan's clutches!!! ' Vihaan said...

'But why can't we try telling her' Dev argued...

'Dev!!! She's my sister... I know she will destroy herself but not agree to do this drama! Infact the way she is right now... she'll destroy herself to keep away from you!

So the only way to save her from this shit is...

DK...

Dev won't help here!

DK will!!! So think like DK and deal like DK!!!

Anyways just the last nail in coffin is left! Comeon!!! Don't feel bad!

It's for her own good!' Tanmay argued.

Finally Dev nodded a OK.
