Chapter 139 - Should I share Innayas past without her consent? (1/2)

|Eshan|

I'd just finished with putting a bathrobe on for Innaya when the doorbell rang. I did not wish to leave Innaya alone, but someone had to check who was at the door too. I was put in a tight spot. I did not wish for any visitor at the moment. If it were my friends at the door, then I certainly did not fancy to see them. I looked at Innaya's face. She had suffered because of them. I wished that they were not here to create anymore scene.

I would have to call back Amma soon. It would be better to have her around. There was one more truth I had concealed from her. Innaya did not know about Amma's return. Amma had returned a month ago, and now was staying with Ayush. I did not know how was Innaya going to react after getting to know about it.

Would she blame herself? She had a habit of unnecessarily worrying. It was not her fault, but my wife would not understand that easily.

Things were bad between us at that time.

It was Arjun who took matters in his hands and made arrangements for Amma at Ayush's place. He could have taken Amma at his place if he did not have to look after Innaya. He did not want to worry Amma either. So, he did what he felt was right.

I brought my hand near her face to caress her cheek. Her feverish skin greeted me. My eyes widened, she was running a high fever.

When did it happen? She was fine beforehand. Last night I had held her in my arms, and in the morning also I had held her too. I would have gotten to know if she had a fever earlier. Did she break into fever because of her panic attack?

My mobile rang along with the insistent doorbell. Fortune's barks also sounded from the downstairs. I did not know what to do. I left Innaya's side with a heavy heart, and I picked up my mobile from the chair. I almost ran out of the bedroom after taking that mobile with me. Rushing down the stairs, I answered the call not bothering to check who it was.

”Hello?” I barked into the speaker. I was losing my control. I needed to calm down for my sanity.

”Eshan, open the door. I'm waiting outside,” the familiar calm voice of Dr. Mittal came through the speaker. I stared at the screen of my mobile pulling it away from my ear. ”Sorry, I'm coming,” I apologized as my tone mellowed down.

Was he superman? How did he manage to appear so swiftly?

Shrugging those thoughts about how he managed to reach so quickly, I immediately reached the door. Fortune also ran towards me, warily looking at the door.

I did not have the time to comfort him. ”Not now, buddy.”

I hurriedly opened the door. ”Thank you for coming doc,” I said once Dr. Mittal came before my eyes.

”Where's she? Let's go,” Dr. Mittal replied. He was in a serious mood. His eyes glanced around before they came to rest on Fortune, who suddenly started barking.

”Woof, woof.”

”Fortune,” I sternly called out his name as I patted on his head. Maybe, seeing the strange man with a black bag in his hands made him wary. Perhaps he sensed something was not right.

”She's upstairs, let's go,” I answered him.

He nodded at me. I closed the door after Dr. Mittal entered inside.
