In Mr. Rajvanshi's office, the atmosphere shifts dramatically as his phone call delivers unexpected news. Athrav, noticing Mr. Rajvanshi's serious demeanor, waits respectfully as the conversation unfolds.

"Yes, I understand. I'll be there shortly."

Mr. Rajvanshi said in call.

He ends the call, visibly troubled. Athrav, sensing the gravity of the situation, speaks gently.

"Mr. Rajvanshi, is everything alright?"

Athrav asked in concern.

" My wife... she's been admitted to the hospital. It's serious."

Rajvanshi hesitantly answered.

" I'm so sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do?"

Athrav said conveying sympathy.

"I need to go to the hospital. It's a difficult time."

Mr. Rajvanshi said. Athrav noticed him sweating.

"If you give permission I would like to come with you."

Athrav said.

Mr. Rajvanshi looks surprised by Athrav's offer, touched by his compassion.

"You don't have to...Mr.Khanna"

"I insist. We've just agreed on a partnership, but right now, your family needs you. Let's go."

Athrav said firmly.

The scene transitions to Athrav and Mr. Rajvanshi leaving the office together. They walk side by side, the weight of the situation palpable.

In that moment, Athrav understood that beyond business deals and negotiations, there was a bond of empathy that connected them.

They arrive at the hospital where Mr. Rajvanshi's wife is admitted. Athrav stands by his side, offering silent support as they navigate through the corridors.

They share a moment of understanding, united by empathy and the shared experience of facing life's challenges.

Inside the hospital waiting area, Athrav and Mr. Rajvardhan Rajvanshi sit quietly, their thoughts consumed by concern for Mrs. Rajvanshi. The doctor emerges from the treatment room, approaching them with a gentle demeanor.

" Mr. Rajvanshi, your wife is stable now. She needs some rest. It might help to have some diversion, perhaps a change of scenery."

Mr. Rajvanshi nods, visibly relieved but still burdened by worry. Athrav, sensing the tension, speaks up.

" Mr. Rajvanshi, why don't we take a short break? We could go somewhere nearby, grab a cup of tea or just walk around for a bit. It might help clear your mind."

Athrav said.

"I don't know..."

Mr. Rajvanshi tried to deny.

" It's important to take care of yourself too, Mr. Rajvanshi. Your wife is in good hands here. A short break can do wonders."

The Doctor said. 

The doctor was very trustworthy person, he has been checking up Mrs. Rajvanshi since years.

Mr. Rajvanshi considers Athrav's suggestion, realizing the wisdom in the doctor's words. He finally nods in agreement.

"Alright, let's go for a walk then."

Mr. Rajvanshi said and they both walked out .

Athrav and Mr. Rajvanshi step outside the hospital, the cool breeze offering a brief respite from the stress inside. They walk in silence for a while, absorbing the surroundings.

"How are you feeling, Mr. Rajvanshi?"

Athrav asked.

"It's been a tough day. Thank you for coming with me, Mr. Khurana . I appreciate your support."

Mr. Rajvanshi spoke.

"Of course. We're in this together. Sometimes, a moment to clear our heads is all we need."

Athrav said warmly.

They find a quiet spot in a nearby park, sitting down on a bench. Athrav watches Mr. Rajvanshi, grateful for the opportunity to offer comfort in a difficult time.

"You know, Athrav, I don't usually trust people easily. But you... you've shown me your true character today."

Mr. Rajvanshi spoke.

" Thank you, Mr. Rajvanshi. I believe in building trust through actions, not just words."

Athrav said.

They sit together in companionable silence, finding solace in each other's presence amidst the uncertainty.

“Of course... I didn’t get a chance to call her.”

He sighed, rubbing his forehead as weariness settled deeper into his bones. He unbuttoned his coat, laid it over the chair, and searched his bag for the charger.

“Please... just a little charge.”
