After around ten minutes they arrived at the VIP ward where the patient was admitted. Sitara noticed there were three persons standing outside the patient's room.
They stared at her after noticing her walking closer to the room, Sitara pushed the door and entered inside ignoring them.
There were three of the senior doctors were standing with the director and his wife, they were talking in almost whisper, probably discussing about the patient's condition.
All the heads turned towards the door suddenly feeling another presence, "Good evening, Dr. Singhania. We're glad that you decided to come over." The director himself welcomed her inside.
Sitara looked at director & one of the senior doctor and nod with a faint smile, she opened her mouth to talk, but closed as someone beat her. "Dr. Singhania, are you fine? Is there any problem?"
Sitara listened the genuinely concerned question of the only lady doctor and sighed, she could feel her tolerance level was going down speedily, but she could not say this. "Ahh, don't worry, I'm absolutely fine. Just a little bit tired, but what's the matter here?"
She asked avoiding the topic skillfully, while turning her eyes towards the girl who was lying on the bed in her unconscious state, her wrist was thickly bandaged. Frown appeared on her face as she carefully observed the girl, she was probably a teenager.
But her appearance was rather shocking, there were deep dark patches under her eyes, her skin has lost its natural glow and it's pale in complexion. Her cheeks were hollowed, while she was looking so skinny, as if starving for so long.
The doctors noticed her gaze and decided to explain, "She had tried to commit suicide, we had treated the wound and after taking two bottles of blood, she's now out of danger."
Sitara nod, "Okay, but what's the actual problem? You probably didn't informed me for this small problem, she's probably suffering from severe depression, if I'm not wrong?!" She asked thoughtfully while still looking at the girl with her scrutinizing gaze.
The doctors nodded, "Yeah, that's true. She's the patient of severe depression, this is the third time in the last two months when she tried to end her life!"
The creases deepened over her forehead as Sitara heard about her condition, but now the question was why was she called here, the girl needs counseling, moreover she needs a sicriatrist.
The director probably had assessed what was running in her head and stepped into action quickly, "Dr. Sitara, if you please take the responsibility of my daughter. Plea—"
Sitara threw a strange look, "Sorry to interrupt you sir, but I'm confused, are you by any chance mocking me, or cracking any joke?" She asked feeling very much offended and also impatient, the pain in her head was increasing with each passing second and making if difficult to even stand properly.
The director quickly shook his head, "Please forgive me if you felt any kind of insult because of my words, believe me, I don't have any intention to insult you. It's just I'm too much stressed, but I meant everything that I said."
Sitara took a deep breath and calmed down, "Okay, please calm down. I can understand your mental condition, but sir, I'm not a sicriatrist, and you've to understand—"
"We know that you're not, but still you helped that patient previously in country C. We heard everything about how that boy totally recovered from his depression since you started to talk with him." This time the director's wife talked in an anxious manner.
Sitara sighed, "Madam, that was just a coincidence, you've to understand that I'm not a sicriatrist by profession."
The sicriatrist who was still standing quietly talked finally, "Doctor, what you are saying is right, but for the last three months we'd tried in every single way, but she didn't even uttered a single word."
"Exactly, we know that there's a very tiny chance, but still, just for our satisfaction please agree. She's our only daughter, please!" The couple clasped their hands before her while literally pleading.
Sitara was feeling extremely ridiculous thinking about how news travels faster.
She rubbed her forehead while thinking for a brief moment, "Aah, please don't say please. This is inappropriate, you're senior than me. If this is what you wish, then fine. I'll try my best to help her." She finally agreed bringing a relieved smile onto the faces of the couple.
The lady doctor felt a little offended, but didn't said anything. She also wanted to see if this doctor could do what she and so many other doctors failed to do.
Sitara turned towards the doctor who was in charge of the girl and talked about some important things before finally leaving the room.
....
Two of Sitara's bodyguards Mahesh & Mohan were waiting for her at the entrance when their phones beeped. An alert was received, they quickly unlocked their phones and stared at the screen before their eyes goes widen.
They just ran towards the elevator to reach the seventh floor as soon as possible.
The elevator dinged open after five minutes and they stepped out hurriedly, but the scene before their eyes made their hearts tremble.
The girl was sitting on the floor with her eyes closed shut, her face was covered with sweat, and had a painful expression over her face, she was clutching her head tightly.
"My ladyy!!" Mehesh called out anxiously before pulling her up in his arms and walking towards the elevator. Sitara didn't showed any resistance as she heard the familiar voice of her bodyguards.
Mohan didn't wasted a moment and quickly dialed one of the number which were saved in the emergency call list in his phone.
He informed everything while walking towards the car hurriedly, he opened the door for Mahesh as he put the girl down on the seat. They entered inside and quickly turned on the air conditioner, then turned the soundproof partition on.
Mahesh sat beside her while Mohan drove the car speedily, the girl was too much in pain and the pain was intensifying. She had tried to suppress it for long, but after leaving the room she failed to.
The car was driving speedily when noticed another familiar car arriving from the opposite and slowed down, the car stopped before them and step out Rishi Jindal.
He was in his office when received a call from Mohan and immediately left, with long strides he reached the car and entered inside to see the girl in her worse state, she was whimpering, crying in pain.
Without any delay he pulled her to him and carried her out of the car before taking her to his car, "Send it back." With the curt order to the two person he stepped inside his car.
His heart ached looking at her condition, he pulled her closer and stroked her hair while giving her reassurance, "Relax doll, big brother is here! Calm down, we'll reach home very soon. Sssh, please relax!"
The girl recognized the familiar voice of her brother and clutched his suit jacket and snuggled closer to him, "Vaiii, d.. do some...thing! I... I can't breath! Pain! T.. too much... pain!" She cried out in extreme pain.
Tears flowed from his eyes as he held her closer while continuing to stroke her hair and back. He could do anything to see the smile of the girl, but could do nothing to stop the pain Immediately.
It's her 25th birthday tomorrow, they had planned so much for her! They wanted to surprise her, but everything changed. The night they wanted to make beautiful and happiest for her, turned into another nightmare.
