Juhi followed Vikram inside the hotel.

It was not like their previous date.

This was an intimate cafe situated near his office. He guided her to a table for four. She frowned but sat without any questions. He sat beside her.

He started saying something when his phone rang. When he answered it, his whole world collapsed.

He was stunned and Juhi was scared looking at him.

His hands shivered and he cut the call.

He sighed and took multiple deep breaths. When she forced him to look at her, he shuddered.

She supported him wordlessly. He closed his eyes for a minute and then replied, " Dad was in a accident. He...he...he is critical."

Juhi's eyes teared up.

She managed to be sane and dragged him out of the cafe.

They drove superfast to the City Hospital. They rushed through the hospital corridors to stand in front of the Operation room.

She looked around to find his mother weeping silently. She, silently, went ahead to sit by her side, offering her support.

Soon they were joined by Mishras' and Sinhas'. On seeing Sneha, Hina Raheja leaped to her feet, " Why are you here? Have you not caused enough damage?"

Rahul intervened, " Aunty please, we will not trouble you."

Hina glared at him, " You will not cause trouble, huh? If you two had not run away, he wouldn't have resolved to such means! Because of you two, he is targeting my family..." She was stopped by Vikram shouting, " Mom! Enough, okay? Dad is serious, please dont make a mess here."

Vikram glared at her and turned back to face the OR.

Rahul sighed and went to comfort his friend.

Juhi and her mother were accompanying Hina.

Sneha was left to stare at the OR when Juhi's father patted her shoulder.

" Let's have a seat." She nodded.

They sat quietly when he said, " Don't listen to her, she is just disturbed by all this." Sneha gave no reply.

He sighed, " I know who is behind all this, Sneha. And I know it for sure that he is not behind us because of you two."

She covered her face with palms and sobbed softly. He tried comforting the child but the doctor's arrival halted him. All stood up and waited for Doctor's next words. He said, " As we all know, he was in a car accident. But he was lucky to have survived with a few rib fractures with no damage to the lungs. Also he has a brain swelling, we have given him medications. He is currently under observation let's hope for the best." He went back inside and soon his father was transferred into the ICU.

All were stunned "brain swelling". Vikram went back to talk to the doctor. While others were rooted at their place.

Hina Raheja's phone beeped
