" How is my daughter, doctor? Is everything alright?" Niyati asked the doctor impatiently.

Shivansh asked worriedly," Is my daughter ok, doctor? I hope there isn't something dangerous."

" Calm down, please. Let the reports come and I will explain everything," The doctor responded professionally making Niyati and Shivansh tenser.

Well, Niyati and Shivansh rushed to Niyati's neighbour's house after the call. Reaching there they came to know that Neela was playing with some other kids when she started breathing abnormally. Her whole body turned cold and she fainted immediately. The neighbour became scared and informed Niyati and then Neela was taken to the hospital.

" I just hope you have taken good care of Neela," Shivansh told Niyati with a threatening voice and Niyati just sheds some tears. She just hopes that her daughter is fine.

Very soon a nurse entered the doctor's room and handed him Neela's medical reports. The doctor started looking through the reports with his scrutinizing eyes where Shivansh and Niyati were scared too much.

Shivansh asked noticing the doctor's curled brows," Is everything alright, doctor?"

The doctor answered looking at Shivansh's fear-filled eyes," Your daughter has a heart problem and it was potential till now. She has started showing the symptoms and that's why she fainted."

Shivansh and Niyati felt like their soul has left their body just listening to the doctor. Niyati cried out and Shivansh was shocked beyond level. Both of them became bewildered for some time listening to the doctor.

" Heart problem?" Shivansh mumbled and Niyati looked at the doctor with her teary eyes.

The doctor started explaining in detail showing them the reports," Look at the reports. Your daughter has Coarctation of the aorta or simply we can say COA. It's a disease when the aortic arch is smaller than usual. Seems like your daughter was born with it. Poor child."

Niyati was shocked after hearing the doctor and said," My daughter was completely fine after birth. There was no defect in her. Then, how come she suddenly started showing symptoms of COA?"

" It happens. Sometimes the doctor can't detect the disease. It doesn't show any symptoms until it becomes severe," The doctor replied and Niyati just bit her lower lip to control her outburst.

Shivansh asked the doctor impatiently," Isn't there any treatment for this disease?"

" Of course there is. We have to do surgery. Surgery is the only way to cure this problem," The doctor answered removing his glasses and leaning a little on his chair.

Hearing the word surgery Niyati felt like someone has stabbed her with a dagger. How can she let her little daughter go under knives? How she will be able to see Neela going through pain? Shivansh's condition was the same as Niyati and sweat beads started forming on his forehead. His throat went dry imagining Neela in an operation theatre.

" But, we can't do the surgery right away. We have to wait until your daughter turns 5 years old. She is too young and we can't perform the surgery right now," the doctor answered and Shivansh was speechless.

Niyati asked the doctor worriedly," How much the surgery will cost?"

" It will be a costly surgery including pre and post-surgery medications," The doctor responded and Niyati was broken more. She doesn't know how she is going to bear all the surgery expenses. She has two years in her hand to save money and she will do anything for this surgery.

Taking a deep breath Shivansh told the doctor," Money isn't the problem. I just want my daughter to be healthy. That's it."

" Well, I also want to inform you since your daughter will go under surgery after two years I want you guys to take proper care of her. At this age every child is agile and your daughter is no exception. With this disease, she shouldn't run so fast or do any kind of heavy activity. She has to rest properly and eat healthy food. She will be under medication till surgery. If she isn't taken proper care in this time then it will be fatal for her and the surgery may fail," The doctor informed every fact and Shivansh & Niyati memorized every word of the doctor.

Shivansh assured the doctor," We will take proper care of her."

" And, your daughter has to go through regular check-ups. So, the next check-up will be after one week," The doctor informed and then Niyati & Shivansh came out of the room.

Coming out of the doctor's room Niyati and Shivansh started going towards the room where Neela was admitted. Niyati was shedding tears silently where Shivansh's hands were itching to console her. He can understand how she is feeling and her tears were hurting him too.

Very soon they reached the room and Niyati stopped Shivansh when he will just enter the room. He was becoming impatient to see his daughter. He might not cry like Niyati but only he knows how he is feeling for his daughter.

" You can't enter," Niyati declared and Shivansh clenched his jaw. He can't tolerate her behaviour right now when Neela is lying on the hospital bed.

Shivansh responded by putting pressure on every word he took," Don't create another drama here. Ok. I have every right to see my daughter."

" Right? You might have forgotten that you promised to not show me your face and come in front of Neela," Niyati reminded and Shivansh just lost it.

Taking a few breaths he started rubbing his whole face with his palms. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and Niyati's words again rang inside his head making him lose his sanity. Cursing under his breath he looked at Niyati angrily.

" What's wrong with you Niyati? You are still thinking about all those past incidents! You are unbelievable. At least for now don't drag your ego and stubbornness here. Our daughter is in a hospital bed!! Damn it!! Aren't you seeing it? She needs her parents," Shivansh screamed at the top of his lungs and Niyati's anger-fueled up.

Raising her index finger in front of his eyes, she warned him," Enough. Enough of your bullshit. This is another excuse from you to enter my life again. I can take care of my daughter. I don't need you."

" Again your stubbornness!! Sure you don't need me. First, tell me how you are going to bear Neela's medical expenses? Huh!! Didn't you hear the doctor? She needs proper care means one of her parents have to be with her 24 hours!!" Shivansh reminded holding her shoulder tightly.

Niyati jerked away his hands and announced," I can take care of my daughter. I will appoint a nanny and if I start saving money then it will be more than enough for Neela's surgery. You don't have to bother. Just get lost."

" And how are going to appoint a nanny and bear the presurgery expenses? You are already struggling with daily expenses and here you are talking about saving money!! Nonsense! Still, now, your ego has more importance than your daughter's life!! I am shocked by your words, Niyati. You weren't like that!!" Shivansh questioned and Niyati was also losing her sanity. How can she confess that she doesn't want to be heartbroken again? She fears she may start having soft corners for him again.

Niyati answered hesitatingly," Umm...I.. will take.....loans..........."

" Loans? You have already taken loans from the bank and are you sure that the bank will give you loan again?" Shivansh questioned before she could complete her sentence.

Niyati remained silent and Shivansh continued with his pissed off voice," I know you are very capable to take care of Neela. But, for God's sake let me cooperate with you. You won't be able to handle everything alone."

" I will handle everything on my own. I don't need your help. I will figure out what I can do," Niyati replied with arrogance and grabbed Shivansh's wrist.

Then, she pushed him out of the room and Shivansh looked at her with fuming eyes. He clenched his jaw seeing her stubbornness and fisted his palms.

" Get lost," Niyati ordered and shut the door right in front of his eyes.

A/N- The medical terms described here are totally fictional. I don't have that much time to research about this disease so I wrote whatever was in my mind. So, don't start comparing it with real life.

At somewhere else

"Release Ranvijay Mehra"

" He can't be a criminal. He is a great artist"

" Remove all false accusations"

" We are with you, Ranvijay Mehra"

A lot of people has gathered in front of the police station and slogans after slogans are echoing through the whole area. They are holding placards where they demanded to release Ranvijay. The police are untroubled by their actions because they had been noticing all these for the past month.

These people are fans of artist Ranvijay Mehra and they are here to support their idol. They don’t believe that Ranvijay Mehra was a criminal. They think that someone is framing Ranvijay Mehra intentionally. They believe that Ranvijay is a victim of someone's jealousy.

" I am surprised to see that a criminal like you have a lot of fans," a constable told Ranvijay who was eating rotten food due to hunger.

Ranvijay chuckled and answered chewing the food," You can capture VR but not Ranvijay Mehra. Ranvijay Mehra lives in people's hearts."

The constable rolled his eyes when another constable came and informed that someone is here to meet Ranvijay. The constable became surprised because it’s prohibited to meet VR until his trial in court.

" Are you sure?" the constable asked surprisingly.

The other constable answered," Yeah. ACP sir has permitted a woman who is VR's relative. If the ACP is permitting then who are we to deny."

After that, the constables left and a woman who was covering her face and body with burkha(veil) came in view. Ranvijay looked at the woman with confused suspicious eyes where the woman was shocked to see Ranvijay's condition. Ranvijay is looking unrecognizable with his long hair, beards, dirty clothes and dull skin.

" Who are you?" Ranvijay questioned finishing his food.

" It’s me. Akash," A male voice said removing the veil.

Ranvijay chuckled looking at Akash and complimented," You are really a master of disguise."

Akash smiled a little and then informed lowering his voice a little, " I couldn’t find Orni madam. I have searched every possible place but she is nowhere to be found."

" Damn it, Akash. I want my Angel's location anyhow," Ranvijay barked on Akash's face and he just lowered his eyes.

Then, Ranvijay started walking here and there in the whole jail and murmured angrily," I knew it. I know that it's Shivnash Raichand who is hiding Orni. This man has really made my life a complete hell."

" What I should do now?" Akash asked and Ranvijay glared at the small window of the jail.

Ranvijay replied hardening his voice," Enough of being a good man. It's time for VR's return. Shivansh Raichand has poked enough in my life and it's high time I should teach a good lesson to him. My mom was right about one thing that this society doesn't value good people."

" What are you going to do, bhai?" Akash asked curiously.

VR answered with determination," I want my family back. I want my wife and children. They belong to me."

" But, how will you get them back? They are under Shivansh Raichand's surveillance and we have no idea where he has kept Orni madam and your children," Akash said and Ranvijay thought for some time.

Suddenly, a smirk formed on his lips and he whispered," I won't do anything this time. Shivansh Raichand will return my family on his own. I have been behaving very civilly with him. Not anymore."
