The hallway was becoming more and more crowded as time passed.
"Pawan, Cool down and listen to me," Anubhav said smiling at him. Pawan nodded and started walking beside him "You and Jiya... Both of you are like my younger siblings and I want the best for you. I also know, who are the situation back at Jiya's home. Do whatever you want but-but just don't send her back to that physio... He-He'll" He sighed and refused to complete his sentence...
"She would need at least three months to fully recover" Anubhave added...
"You can call That Ranvir now, I am done and, Shreshta will every everything in detail, about her skin and stuff. And also guide you with her treatment." "Okay..." Pawan said in a low voice.
"Pawan!" Someone said making him lift his head. It was Ranvir and Jiya. They fastened their pace towards them and soon caught up and turned around in their direction. "Hey? Can you?" Ranvir said while looking at Raj and then Jiya, he nodded and moved in his place.
"Pawan, Now tell me what happened to her?" Ranvir asked straight up and placed his arm on his shoulder. Pawan was in some deep thought at that time and shook his head "Come on?! Is it a-a minor injury? or how q-uickly can that he-" "CAN YOU KEEP IT SHUT!?" He shouted and forcefully removed his hand from his shoulder. All the others turned towards him and "What THE Fuck?!" Ranvir said and pushed him across the hallway.
Jiya slowly moved her head to the back but was blocked by Raj as he acted like he didn't do that on purpose... "Raj, tell them to stop," She said in a low voice "Huh what are they doing?" He said acting like nothing. All the people were still in their positions while walking at a stable pace "Turn around..." "Okay..." He said peeking behind and clearing his throat loudly. Ranvir spared a glance at him and started walking. Pawan was about to come for him but stopped after watching Ranvir move back.
"Hello, guys? With Someone named Jiya?" A girl asked coming up "Oh I didn't expect you to be here so soon" Anubhave said in fascination. "This is Shrishti, and she will explain everything in detail." He said and moved out of the group.
"Pawan, can we send Jiya back to her home?"Bhavna whispered to him and he nodded "Ohy, Raj Take her back please" He said with a forced sarcastic smile. And both of them change their way opposite from others.
Soon they were in the other building, in front of Anubhav's office.
"Please explain everything, I'll be a bit busy... Shrishti" he said and left the office closing the door.
"So guy? Won't Jiya be here?" She asked and came in front of them. Pawan shook her head and went to sit down on the couch.
"So... You must know that she has three fractures-" "Just please tell that to that guy, not us." Pawn said annoyingly and pointed towards Ranvir. Shrishti sighed and went towards him "Please come outside" She said and went outside and Ranvir followed. And the door was closed.
"Jiya, right now, have three broken ribs and some internal bleeding," She said straight up. Rnvir was looking at her with his mouth open and his eyes went wide "You-you must be joking n-nah na-nah you are joking, right?" "You can check the reports... If I seem like a liar" She said with an eye roll "Where are they?" he asked "Inside"
Pawan who was inside, hearing the muffled conversation "Argh..." He growled and threw his head down, Then the door was flung open by Ranvir. "There on the table," She said and he lept to grab them. "No-no T-this can't b-be," He said shivering "Pawan!?" He said aggressively, Pawan lifted his head "How did she fall unconscious?" "Her father kicked-" "HOW-MANY-TIME?!" He again almost screamed, "Like three?" "That is not possible... THAT IS FUCKING-" "HEY MISTER This is a hospital, Stop screaming!" "Bu-But... This is impossible" "What is it, Son?" Bhavna asked "Aunt y-you can't break 3 ribs by three kicks"
"You may figure it out later..." Shrishti interrupted "She will need almost 8-9 weeks to heal properly" Ranvir took a gasp. "She will need proper bed rest, not much movement in the upper portion of her body, a healthy diet, and proper assistance during this time" "And-" Ranvir was about to say something but was again interrupted. "You must give her these supplements with this diet plan," Shrishti added and all of them nodded.
"Where is she now?" Ranvir asked while looking at everyone in the room. "She went to her home" Bhavna answered "What? No Mom I told Raj to take to our place." Pawan said and stood up. "That is no bad either." She replied. "Pawan who is the legal guardian of Jiya?" Shrishti asked and everyone went silent...
"Umm... Is that necessary?" Bhavna asked "Yes mam, and we need the signature of that person" She added and started flipping through some reports "Can I give the signature?" Bhavna said and went towards the couch "Yes mam-" "Okay then where?" She said quickly turning towards her without any hesitation "Only if you are the guardian" She said and nodded at her. There was a visible disappointment on Pawan and Bhavna's face.
"Why? Is she an orphan?" Shrishti asked out of confusion "No her-her father is the one who did this" Pawn said and again threw his down "His name?" Ranvir asked with this unusual look in his eyes "Karan Verma" Bhavna interrupted and sat down on a chair "What about it?" "Can I file an FIR about it? Domestic Abuse" Ranvir said and gave a small smile folding on his lips "You can do that?" Shrishti asked with a small pout. "Of course, Like I am a SHO here?" He said with a confused look "What?" Bhavna asked almost immediately "Yeah?" He said and knitted his eyebrows together.
"So do that!" Shrishti said louder. "No... Don't" Pawan said in a low voice. Bhavna was silent throughout "Why, At least he would have a fin or compensation to pay" Ranvir said "No. He was a good friend of my father... and-and"
