"What if it's Sid? "
She thought to herself.
Entering the petrol pump they could see a crowd hustling. An ambulance parked just beside it. They ran towards the vehicle. A person was lying on the stretcher,his white shirt socked in red.It was a shock for Samantha, because what she saw was the complete opposite of what she thought. The person who was injured was not Sid, but Jake. At that very moment she felt guilty.
"Jake" She called.
"How did all this happen?"Mon asks.
" Is it necessary now! "Sid says " Let's get him to the hospital now".
"Where's Disha? " Mon says.
"We got her" He says.
After getting to the hospital, Jake was directly sent for a surgery. Dayal and Loy had already arrived.
"What happened? Why is he injured? " Dayal asks.
"Relax.. I'll tell you all " Sid asks them to sit.
"So, we were following Miss Disha and finally caught her. Just as we took a few steps towards her some of her men came out of the blue and attacked us. Anyhow we fought them back and they surrendered. Immediately we called for the police.That's when Disha took her revolver out and targeted towards us. Jake was first to notice that so he told me to be careful but the second bullet just went… "
"Straight into his chest. " Sam completed." So, when I heard someone call your name it was Jake, right? "
"Yes"
"Where is she now? " Mon asks.
"She's been arrested. You know I don't understand why the hell she tried to target us? "
"Only she can answer it. " Dayal states.
"Let's go to the station " Sid says.
"Umm… I'll stay. " Sam says.
Sid parted his lips to say something but stopped.
"Okay" Mon says and walks away followed by the others.
Samantha starts walking back forth everytime lifting her head to see operation rooms light.As time passes she is now more reckless.Almost after two hours the red light turns off.
The doctors come out and her expression doesn't need any explanation. She's finally relieved after hearing a positive response.
Soon Jake was shifted to another room.She took her cell phone out to call Mon but her name was already flashing on the screen.
"Hello."
"Yeah, we are currently talking to Disha. She's not speaking out though.How's everything there?" Mon says.
"The operation was a success.They said he needs to rest now"
"Oh.. That's good"
Sam was silent for a moment but Mon replied knew.
"She'll have to answer anyway. "
"Okay"she hangs up the call.
" Excuse me, Miss. "
Sam turns back to see a nurse"yes"she says.
"These are medicines you need to bring and the patient is in room no. 4, you can meet him now. "
"Oh ok, thank you"
The nurse gives her a small paper and walks away.
Samantha holds the door knob with shaking hands. She still feels bad for how she wished it can be anyone else but Sid. The door opens with a click sound revealing Jake sleeping on his bed.Hr still needs to rest. Keeping in mind she doesn't wake him up,she took slow steps towards the bed.
As soon as she reaches the bed Jake grabs her hand and pulls her towards him.
"Ki.. Kiya! "He calls.
He's still unconscious but Sam has no idea what he is mumbling. Moreover who is Kiya?
" Why? Why? "He says again.
" Jake what happen? Jake! "
"Don't… don't"
"Jake… Jake,wake up. " She shouts.
"No! " He shouts and finally he realises that it was just a dream.
"Relax..It was just a dream! "
"Huh… oh " Just then he notices that he was holding Sam so close to him. He immediately released her from his tight hug.
"Umm.. Sorry"
She felt a little empty once he released her from his hold.
"It's okay. Now that you are awake I'll call the doctor. "
"Okay"
Sam comes out of the room after giving him the medicines. She had so many questions to ask him but she couldn't. What he dreamed about? Is that something from his past? Most importantly, who is Kiya?
But she had no rights to ask him. She is no one to him.
