A nurse stole a kiss from a billionaire in a vegetative state because she thought he wouldn’t wake up, but unexpectedly hugged him…

In a quiet hospital room, where the sound of a heart rate monitor sounds like a monotonous melody, Ananya – a young nurse in the intensive care unit of a large private hospital in Mumbai – never imagined that a moment of her impulse would change her life. A meaningless kiss on the lips of a man who had not moved for two years dragged her into a cycle of unexpected fate…

Ananya is 26, her daily routine is checking machines, changing bandages, cleaning patients, and most of all, taking care of a special person – Mr. Raghav Malhotra, a real estate billionaire who has often appeared in the Indian press but is now just a body lying motionless in a hospital bed. He died in a road accident and has remained motionless for more than two years.

To most employees, Mr. Malhotra is a “long-term care object” – a body surviving on nutrition and a ventilator. But for some unknown reason, whenever Ananya takes care of him, she feels a strange compassion. Sometimes, the midday sunlight passes through the glass window, illuminating the man’s face, further emphasizing his once-beautiful face, making her think: “If he were still conscious, he would be a very attractive person.”

That night, Ananya was on night duty. There was only a dim yellow light in the hallway. She entered the room, sat by the bed, and quietly changed the IV. Suddenly, a strange thought entered her mind: “He won’t wake up… A kiss… What’s the problem…”

Anya’s heart skipped a beat. He panicked and laughed to himself. But for some reason — perhaps because of the months of nurturing, the boredom of work, or because the image of the man was so deeply etched in her mind — she leaned in and gently breathed his lips against her lips.

Just a moment.

Ananya was about to step back when something terrible happened: the hand that seemed to be motionless suddenly trembled. Again… A slight grip gripped her shoulder.

Ananya was stunned.

The eyes of the man she had thought was unconscious throughout the hospital suddenly opened. His deep pupils were looking at her.

“Who… Is it you?” – a loud voice rang out, faint but so clear that Ananya was shaking.

That night, in the empty room, Ananya understood: her life would never be peaceful again.

Mr. Malhotra’s awakening came as a huge shock to the entire hospital. The Board of Directors immediately formed a medical committee; the doctors were both happy and worried. After two years, the patient suddenly opened his eyes and spoke – a rare occurrence that was almost a miracle. But for Ananya – who witnessed the moment – ​​the emotions were both joy and fear.

She didn’t dare to elaborate… That was the moment he woke up when she kissed him. In the report, Ananya simply wrote: “The patient is showing signs of self-awareness, he is shaking hands and opening his eyes. Unexpected improvement in consciousness, special monitoring is advised.”

Whenever Anna entered the room, her heartbeat was irregular. Although Mr. Malhotra was still weak and his voice was not clear, his eyes were unusually bright. He didn’t remember everything, he just felt a little like he had been lying down for a long time. Whenever Ananya fed them or bathed them with a hose, they watched them closely, pretending to be busy to hide their confusion.

A few days later, there was chaos throughout the department. The news of Mr. Malhotra regaining consciousness spread quickly. Journalists, relatives and colleagues flocked to him; Everyone thought it was a miracle. Ananya’s heart was heavy with fear that the secret of the “awake kiss” might be revealed.

One afternoon, after checking the IV, Ananya was about to turn away when Mr. Malhotra’s hand came to her wrist. He looked at her calmly and said softly:

“You… The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was them opening. I remember… A strange feeling. Like… Being called from a faraway place.”

Anna was scared and removed her hand, trying to remain calm:

“I’m just a nurse on duty. You can sleep tomorrow, thanks to your health and the doctor.”

He didn’t speak anymore but his eyes already understood.

After a week, his health gradually improved: he learned to sit up, and speak clearly. The Malhotra family was very happy, especially the eldest son – Rohan Malhotra. When his father was in a coma, he handled most of the work, and now he was faced with “his father’s return.”

Rohan is a young businessman, sharp but cold. He only nodded slightly when he met Anna for the first time:

“Thank you for taking care of my father. From now on, the family will hire a private senior nurse. You won’t have to work so hard.”

This remark made Ananya feel strangely disappointed. She had become accustomed to being at Mr. Malhotra’s bedside every day and taking care of every little thing. Now, when the patient was cured, that attachment had disappeared.

That night, as Ananya was getting ready to give up her shift, Mr. Malhotra suddenly called her name. His voice was soft but firm:

“Anne, I still want you to take care of me.” There’s nothing else. If necessary, I’ll talk to my family.”

In those moments, Anna didn’t know whether to be happy or worried. It was hard enough to hide that kiss; Now that she was with them, she was afraid of her exposure, afraid of their searching gazes. But deep down, there was also a vague warmth – a relationship she didn’t dare admit.

Since Mr. Malhotra woke up, Ananya’s life has changed dramatically. She is no longer a well-known nurse, but suddenly she is a “specialist” in their eyes. Despite the children’s objections, they insist on monitoring her health.

The Malhotra family does not trust outsiders, especially when their immense wealth is involved in a secret dispute between siblings. To them, Ananya is just an ordinary nurse, “not on the same level”. Seeing that Mr. Malhotra trusts and relates to Ananya more than anyone else, his eyes widen with suspicion.

Rohan made his point clear. One afternoon, when Ananya was leaving the room, he stopped her in the hallway:

“Anya, to be honest, my father just woke up, he’s out of his mind. If you want to take advantage of them, I won’t let them go.”

Ananya was stunned, her head bowed:

“I’m just doing my job, don’t get me wrong.” ”

But Rohan’s suspicions did not diminish; he looked at her even more.

Meanwhile, Mr. Malhotra increasingly needs Ananya. He often asks her to sit down and talk, telling her about his childhood, his journey from a poor boy in Uttar Pradesh to a Mumbai-based billionaire. Sometimes he looks her straight in the eyes, joking:

“Maybe you are the one who called me back to this world.” ”

Every time she heard this, Ananya’s heart would beat faster, but she tried to stay calm on top. She couldn’t accept that… He had literally kissed her in that unfortunate moment. If that secret was revealed, everything would become even more suspicious.

In the days that followed, tensions within the Malhotra family escalated. Some relatives whispered: “This nurse is no ordinary woman. Some rogues even spread rumors in the hospital that Ananya was “manipulating billionaires to get involved.” ”

Ananya is in a dilemma. She wants to leave to avoid the trouble, but every time she sees Mr. Malhotra holding her tightly, she can’t turn away. The moment she wakes up, she realizes that her heart is not as carefree as it used to be. Despite the realm of “nurse-patient,” a silent attachment quietly develops.

One night on duty, Mr. Malhotra leaned back in bed and looked out the window at the glittering Mumbai, and said softly:

“Ananya… I don’t know what will happen next. But trust me… I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

At that moment, Ananya sighed. She knew that the road ahead would not be easy: on one side there was responsibility and professional respect, and on the other side unclear feelings for a man she could not reach. The simple story of a little nurse turns from here into a challenging path: love with doubts, loyalty versus benefits, and a secret that had never been revealed before – the kiss that started it all.
