Lost Wife by pokhila (life changing books to read txt) 📕

Neel rushed towards the interior ....  he came back hurriedly after a min ,  with him , there were some paramedics ,rushing  towards them with a stretcher .  They came and helped  dad to lie down on the stretcher . 

 All of us followed , they strolled him towards a medium sized hall ,what looked  like an emergency room . They were quick ...  first  checked his vitals , his BP was high ...  gave him an injection , and told us to wait for few minutes , if his condition don't improve they will provide an ambulance , so that we can take him to a hospital for better treatment .

Sumit was quick ....  he dialled mom .... Pari on the other hand looked from one person to another , she also felt something as everyone was in tears and Neel ,who was playing with her now all of a suden handed her to Runi and took hold of aunty , who looked nervous , all these sudden hustle made Pari hold her mom in fear , she held her mommys  dress , more tightly . 

 After waitting for around twenty minuted  the medicine showed its effect , dad's breathing came to normal , he looked at mom , she was in tears , holding his hand sitting on a chair next to his stretcher ... 
 " You forgot your medicine ? Mom asked worried to hell .

Dad wiped her tears ,  " I'm fine , don't cry ...  " it  was so touching moment  mom held his hand and kissed dad's palm , dad then looked at the other side of his bed , Neel and Sumit were standing  with  worried faces .... however they saw a questioning look at his eyes ... the two brothers  looked at each other . maybe they know the reason for sudden disorder in his  health . but Anirudh forbade them to inform , specially Runi . 

 The emergency room was empty , except for the  paramedics , there were atleast two rows of bed  , all empty Runi took one of them ,

She  was feeding Pari , as she was crying and  clinging , one hand was still holding a string with  balloons , waving it to and fro , she suckled . her another hand still holding her floral shirt tightly . Runi hummed  slowly , running her fingers through Pari's lush curls , it reminds her so much of Anirudh , she looked at her phone ....  debating within , to call him or not to ....  she looked towards her in  laws , dad was wiping away mom's tears , talking ... Runi saw mom kissed his palms .

She put back her mobile , " we are going to give the best surprise to daddy ..." she whispered to Pari . 

" I called mom , she told to bring uncle at the hospital ..... " Sumit said to ease the tension , he knows uncle deserves to know , Anirudh was going through a rough phase , being a dad he cannot let his son suffer alone, but looking at his condition , they are scared to disclose ....   .

First  they sent Neel with mom and dad , in the ambulance , mom kissed sleeping Pari , dad looked normal , Runi told to take care and that they will meet afterwards . Runi didn't disclose , that she was not staying in Anirudh's place . Looking at dad ....  now she want to change her decision , mom and dad was her strong pillar , they helped her with Pari all these weeks , loved her supported her like their daughter , not daughter in law ....... and now when they need her she cannot leave them , that will be most selfish act . 

For the time being she want to keep it aside ...  let dad rest and recover , her first priority was take Pari to meet her daddy ....  but deep inside her heart she knows ....  it was she who was dying ...  restless to meet her hubby , Pari was an excuse . 

Inside the court ....

David and  Philip were talking ...  Philip being a senior , he knew , the case was inclined towards Donna and her client , Anu . But the worst part was Anu and her lawyer submitted another petiton asking the Bench of magistrates to provide alimony as well as a house  to Anu , as compensation .

Anirudh was ready for one time settlement ...  but 

 The question of her staying in the same town was out of question , Anirudh learnt well ...  even if too late , that Anu is nothing but a vicious lady ,bites the one who feeds her . Philip and David were trying to find a way , if they  can escape her  permanent settlement here . Anirudh can pay her more than she can spend in this lifetime ,but why should he waste his hard earned money for a characterless  and greedy girl like Anu . 

Donna and her client were sitting quietly ,in their respective place , both lost in their own thoughts .

Donna was happy that she was able to get her justice ....  she don't even charge fee as they are not capable of , She looked at Anu ...  a lone, helpless  Indian girl who was harrassed, abused and who knows how much she suffered mentally ,  by these rich NRI , she stood up all alone , Anu not only fought for herself but also for her sister , who went missing ...  Donna even promised Anu that she  will help her missing sister too , if she finds her , and help them to go back to their own country ...  but Anu declined to go back , very politely , said  that she is ashamed to return after all these . Donna believed her every word .

But Donna was also happy for herself , her relation with David was improving  , now they talk normally , it was just a new step towards their future and she was ready to continue it , because now David will work as her assistant ... 

Donna  was sure the Verdict will be in their favour .

David and Philip couldn't convince Anirudh , these past two weeks , finally they gave up . At the begining   the case was all in their favour , with all those proof ,  only needed a testimony  of Runi , all of the family was aware that Runi was alive , even David came to know about her , working as a assistant professor in the uni of Nice . If they can produce here for one time , all the charges made by Anu will be null and void .
