AUTHOR'S POV:
Balakrishnan informed her nothing except for the piece of information that, he is unwell.
"What happened?" Yuvi asked, concerned seeing her worry-filled face.
"Karthick-k something serious!" Her voice trembled.
"Don't worry! Everything will be alright!" He assured her with a hug.
She just nodded in his embrace. They didn't care about their appearance.
They drove to the hospital with the crumpled dress and tear-streaked face.
Yuvi drove the car at full speed, Pari was hell scared now. As soon as they reached the hospital entrance, Pari got down whereas Yuvi went to Park their car. She ran to the emergency ward, everyone was standing in front of the glass door.
"What happened? How is he?" She asked everyone's eyes shot up hearing her voice.
"What happened?" She asked again.
Sid came forward to tell what happened.
"I was with him in the room, he had headache and felt dizzy. He asked for his tablets; as the medicines were down I went to take it. When I cam-me b-back he-he was irresponsive but his eyes were open an-nd blood s-started to flow out through his nostrils. We panicked and took him here" He shuttered his words.
"How is he now? When did you reach here?" She asked peeking through the tinted glass door which had little area transparent. The doctor and the nurses were doing some medications.
"We reached here just 5 minutes ago, the doctor didn't come out yet" He answered again. Tears started to flow across her cheeks, yuvi who came behind her, heard everything.
There prevailed an icy silence which made them shiver.
After some time that looked liked after solid 10 minutes, the doctor opened the door a nurse trailing behind. He was instructing her something and she was noting them on a note pad.
He turned towards them, everyone's attention turned towards him too.
"Doctor, how is he? Fine right?" Pari asked with a nervousness filled voice.
"He is ...."
"Doctor! The patient is getting seizures" A nurse yelled for him from the door; the doctor ran in to check on him.
She could see him suffering through the glass, his body, his hands, legs, and his head was jerking vigorously; the machines beeped highly even the people who were outside the door heard the beeping. They were doing something to stop him.
She couldn't able to witness his miserable state anymore, a sob escaped before she could even realize it, she covered her mouth not to sound loud. Yuvi tried coming near her, but she just gestured him to stop wherever he was. Everyone except Sid eyed her as if they saw an alien.
They waited for about 20 mins, it seemed like hours for them.
After about 25 minutes the doctor came out with a gloomy face.
Pari rushed towards him.
"Doctor?" That's all she could speak.
"He is out of danger" Everyone heaved a deep sigh.
"But!'
"But?" Pari asked, getting confused.
"We couldn't stop his seizures at first, with god's grace his seizures stopped, at last. Even minutes of delay would have become fatal but we got him back in the last minute otherwise he could have fallen into a coma or even there were chances for death. But thank god! nothing happened like that. We saved him but still, there are chances for the damage in his brain cells. We can't predict anything unless and until he gets conscious. But there's a 90% chance for damage in his brain cells. Miss, I have..." He again interrupted by the other nurse.
"Doctor! An accident case in trauma care" She rushed him.
"Meet me afterward, Miss." He said and ran to the nearby ward.
The pool broke down tears started flowing continuously, she fell on her knees and started weeping hard her voice echoed the whole floor; everyone's eyes started to water seeing her broken.
Yuvi couldn't withstand the distance between them, he wanted to go near; take her in his arms; console her but he couldn't. Sid was holding his hand and nodded him not to go.
He couldn't understand what was going on, why they were restricting him to go near him. He was frustrated at the same time concerned about Karthick and Pari.
He gestured to Deepthi to support her who herself was crying. She went and sat beside her and hugged her.
"He will be alright Pari, he will wake up soon!" She tried assuring her on which she was clearly unsure.
"He said Deepu, he said that he is alright. But see now, I can't handle this Deepu" She sobbed hard hugging.
A part of her was eating her in guilt; she took the blame on herself.
Her mind was clouded, with emotions she couldn't digest everything that happened today, it was a long day for her.
None dared to go near her, Balakrishnan insisted not to. He knows her daughter, she is not the one who cries long and sits back simply; she is the kind of a person who fights back and wins by any means.
" She may seem weak but,
she is not!
She may seem very strong
and then, she is! "
She crawled to a corner, sat hugging her knees; silently!
That silence was not grief but a dangerous sign to the one who caused all this.
Everyone was in their world; silence tried comforting them but it didn't help them in any way.
Yuvi was silent too, but he was having some inner debate.
He was thinking about something deeply.
That's when Pari stood up, gathering everyone's attention.
Her face blank, emotionless but her eyes held some determination.
" I am gonna go and see the doctor!" She announced, others just nodded.
" Yuvi, please give me the car key!" She asked him and he gave her without asking anything.
She enquired the nurse about the doctor's whereabouts. The nurse directed her to his cabin.
Standing at the door she knocked on the glass door.
"Come in!" The same old voice reached her ears.
She went in, he gestured her to a seat in front of him.
"Hello! Doctor, you asked me to meet?"
"Hey! There is something very serious"
