Dev's POV:

I covered the distance between our lips and smashed my lips on hers...

Her lips were so....

So ..
.
....
So.....

.
.
...
Hmmmmm
.
.
...

Dry!!!

It gave a strange plastic taste from it!!!

Suddenly her lips made a sound too...

'Peeeeeee!!!'

What the hell her lips make a sound 😕

'Dev!!!'

'Devvvvvvv!!!'

I felt like she was calling me with a deep voice!!!

'Devvvvvvvvv'

That's when I opened my eyes!!!

I was literally kissing the car steering!!!

Shit 🙊🤦

While I saw Ishaani trying to wake me up!!!

I opened my eyes clearly and saw ...

There was nothing!!!

Only heavy rains...

Neither had she opened the car window, nor did we play nor did I kiss!!!

'Once rain stops I'll drive... You must be tired...I'm fresh now!!!' she said while still reading that stupid book!!!

I wanted to throw it way!!!

Soon I got a call on my mobile. I noticed it was Daadi. Like Nanu said I didn't pick the call.

Ishaani noticed me not picking the call.

She ignored.

Second time again when it ringed she asked me why am I not picking it as it was Daadi's call. I said just like that.

Third time she picked the call and next I saw her shivering....

Phone fell from her hands....

She was all in tears...

All that came out of her mouth was 'Daadi'

I was shocked...

I picked the call and spoke to Daadi...

'Dev listen...Veena got a cardiac arrest last night...she has undergone a angioplasty today morning. As of now she is under observation. I spoke to her sometime back. She is concious now. Ishaani's phone was not reachable!'..

'Ya Daadi her phone broke'

'Ok listen... You guys must have reached mumbai by now right?'

'Ya Daadi...a little away from Mumbai'

'Ok... I have managed to get you both flight tickets for tonight. Come soon... there's something very important I want to talk to Ishaani....

Just reach Bangalore asap!!!' Daadi said

And she cut the call.

I looked at Ishaani who had already broken down...

I tried to console her...

She pushed my hands away saying...

'Im fine....let's reach mumbai.... Pleaaaaaase' she said and broke down badly.

I held her by her shoulders...she pushed me aside saying...

'Drive.... Pleaseeeee'

I didn't care about the rains anymore...

In no time we reached Mumbai and we boarded the flight ✈️.

We were in Bangalore by 11 and reached home by 12 midnight...

Next second she rushed home and Daadi hugged her tightly.

She broke down badly in Daadi's arm's. Soon I saw Ahaana come running and hugging Ishaani.

'Ahaana Di.... Daa....Daa...Daadi'...

Ishu... She's fine... Don't worry....she was concious today. She spoke to Soudamini Daadi today.

We will meet her tomorrow early morning ok... Now calm down baby....relax....come on.... breathe.... breathe'...

But Ishaani's breath was going higher and like stuck up there....

'Shit.... shit....shit....it's an attack again...no no.... Her breathe... Get some water....get some water' she said while I noticed a horror where Ishaani's breath was stuck.

I was so so scared.

Ahaana sprinkled water on her face and made her drink water...

Dhruv made her sit in an easy position while I was frozen seeing her like that.

I saw Ahaana call Tan and and he said something and soon Ahaaha opened Ishaani's bag and stuffed the med in her mouth and made her drink water....

She had gone blue....

Soon she became s little better.

Everyone was scared seeing her like that.

Dhruv carried her to the guest bedroom. While Daadi was holding her head and crying went with Dhruv!!!

Next thing an angry Ahaana shot at me...

'Why did she get that again??? What did you do???? These attacks stopped an year ago why are they repeating!!!

Telll....

Tell....I will kill you Dev Kapoor!!! You screwed her life!!! My sister's panic attacks are back... ' saying she pulled her collar and started crying...

'Please Ahaana... Believe me... I didn't...I'm sorry....' I said while I was hating the fact that my heavily pregnant sister in law was weeping non stop.

'Ahaana... Sit.... please sit!!!

I know...I messed up 3 years back!!!

I know I'm an asshole... But after letting Ishaani go even I was never at peace.

I couldn't face anyone!!! I couldn't face you...

Im sorry Ahaana... I didn't...I really didn't know what Ishu went through.

But today I know what I feel for her and I will make sure to'

'Stop!!!! Stop right there!!! Im not Tanmay, Heli or Tan whom you can convince! Im Ahaana! Ishu is my baby! I will never let you even come closer to her! Just stay away from her! ' she said and stormed back into guest bedroom.

I didn't know what was happening so I called Tan. He told me it's all Ishu's depression related. When she gets too much worried she gets panic attacks! It had stopped a year ago which probably recurred due to Daadi's heart attack. You don't worry Dev... tomorrow morning flights are available. We will be in Bangalore by tomorrow noon. You please take care'

I dropped the call and I was still shocked.

I couldn't sleep the entire night!

What have I done of an innocent girl!!!

Do I even deserve to tell her that I love her 😢

***

We all went to see Veena Daadi in morning.

As she was in ICU only two people were allowed to go in.

So I noticed Ishaani and Daadi go in.

The entire Sharma family were shooting fire at me like they'll kill me!!!

They clearly hate me!!!

Soon I saw Ishaani come out...she looked much better now.

Although I could clearly see she had wept.

Soon we all went home while Dhruv insisted he will stay at hospital so that Ishaani's dad gets rest. Ishaani's mom was still using a walker due to the ligament tear and she stayed at home.

Soon we reached home while Daadi asked everyone to come to the Lunch table.

'I have an announcement to make!!!

I know I must have announced this earlier but I needed to talk to Veena first and she doesn't want to wait any further. She wants this to be out!

So here it is...

I have finally decided to make Ishaani my daughter in law!!!'.

While everyone looked very happy...

I was on cloud ☁️ 9❤️❤️❤️

I had happy tears in my eyes almost...I was happy beyond words but the guilt that I caused her so much pain wasn't letting me go...

But I was grateful to my Daadi that she finally understood my emotions...

I don't want to delay the function. As soon as Veena discharges... that's probably in 5 days from now. We'll have the engagement party. She said.

While I saw Ishaani didn't utter a word.

She stood putting her head down.

I was trying to look at her face...

I wanted to kiss my bride..

But before that I wanted to thank Daadi...

Just then I saw Daadi go towards the main door...

'How much time did you take beta' saying she hugged a person who looked a little known to me...

I saw him turn around and I was shocked!!!

😲

It was my youngest step brother!

Hrishikesh Kapoor's youngest son!!!

Rehaan Kapoor!!

'So everyone...(Moo mitha karwao) Get the sweets... our groom is here...

By next weekend

Ishaani would be engaged to my youngest grandson Rehaan.

While I saw everyone was clapping!!!

My world came crashing down!!!

I was broken!

Shocked!

Torn!

Finished!!!

😢😡😟
