36 Miscarriage (2/2)
”Poor girl might be carried away by sweet words”
”She's not a kid” said Punya sarcastically.
He felt proud of her mature mind set and her practical way of thinking, but concern about Disha made him scream ”Dikshith's hypocrisy and your practical advice would have killed her”.
”Please don't scream, even I didn't know that she's so weak”
”Every mother is weak about their kid, her motherly instinct has driven her towards this hasty step” he said in a normal tone.
”She's foolish, immature and ignorant” she blamed Disha.
”Oh well, if you were in love with someone and reached this stage what would you do?” he asked.
”I will never reach this stage before marriage” she affirmed.
He sat in front of her, held her hands and said ”Imagine I'm your boyfriend, What if you can't control your emotions and fall for it with me and reach such stage? I will come to you and say... Punya I promise to marry you in future, will you please abort this kid?”.
Their eyes were glued to each other. Her eyes welled up.
”Please abort our kid Punya... We'll get kids after marriage” he added.
”No no no...” she screamed pulling her hands away from him and started crying closing her face with the hands. ”How much ever I love you, I'll never fall for it. I know to control myself” she spoke while crying.
”I just asked you to imagine, I didn't mean it. Sorry. Please forgive me. Don't cry, that hurts me more. Stop Punya” he apologized.
”Sometimes emotions take control over our mind. I imagined too much” she chuckled wiping off her tears.
”Disha would've gone through emotional trauma, such things have to be handled carefully. Scolding or highlighting their mistakes leads them to depression. Disha needs your support not blame. Go stay with her” he advised.
”I'll call my mother, she'll be worried if I don't go home on time. Today I came by my bike that will add to the panic” she said.
”Why where's Thrishul? He was bringing you everyday right?”
”Yesterday he went out with his father. Some relatives marriage in his mother's native. ”
”You people didn't go?”
”Their relatives think that because of my grandparents torture Thrishul's mother died early, so they hate all of us. Their son-in-law and grandson are very good according to them. Long story” she shrugged.
”Ok call your mom and come inside” he said and started walking into the hospital.
When he came inside, Disha was drinking some juice and a nurse was standing next to her.
”Hi Senior” she said in a pale voice.
”Hi, how are you feeling now?”
”Better”
”Good to hear that, here you get best facilities, cheer up, get well soon”
”I will get money from my parents and pay the bill soon. Sorry for troubling you senior” she said.
”Disha, I'm not dead yet” said Punya in anger who walked in. ”How dare you decide to go away?” she raised her hand to slap. It was just to scare her not intentional. ”Idiot, I love you yaar. If something happened to you, what should I tell your parents who are thousands of kilometers away?” asked Punya.
”You're not from Karnataka Disha?” asked Prakruth.
”No, I'm from Jharkand. I wanted to study here, so I stay in hostel” said Disha.
”OK you take rest, we'll talk tomorrow” said Prakruth.
”Yes, I'll go now and come tomorrow. Don't think anything just relax. Remember we're always there for you.” said Punya giving her a warm hug.
Disha gave a pale smile.
