Chapter - 23

Then ill faith of this woman was as bad as it can be everything she tried to do was the only failure in her life. As they say, the show must go on. Skeeter excepted her faith she could not even images that some people she knew could make her life miserable. Skeeter went straight to her mother's house and explained everything, it made no difference to her mother.

Coming back to olive's life, As I narrated that skeeter child was born and olive did not want the girl child as the child grew olev started loving and excepting her, she was his weakness, but towards skeeter, olive was the same.

Meantime beauty mother had somehow got in touch with her brother's help to apply for her British citizenship as I told u, in the beginning, her mother was born in Liverpool London and had settled in India now that she found a way to go back to her birthplace she did everything silently, not allowing anybody, not even beauty know of it she assumed if skeeter knew about it she would put a stop.

But it never mattered to skeeter she always wanted good for everyone as she had the curse of bad luck she never cursed anybody. One morning her mother called skeeter and told her she had a few days and that she wanted to say goodbye to her that's when Skeeter came to know her mother was leaving for good.

Her mother made a big mistake by not showing skeeter and Luana has her daughter while applying for migration she had only mentioned her marriage to her second husband and his three children names. Slowly her mother had left she did not want skeeter to even come and see her at the airport in spite skeeter lived nearby.

One by one her two-step brother's and her half-sister left within a year. There was no contact from her mother for two years. skeeter was still struggling in life taking care of her two children, months went by a year by her second daughter who was a model and actress was shooting for a Tamil movie in a beautiful place called Mettur.

Yes, you got it right, the most famous dam in Tamil Nadu, The movie was a female lead role they spent over two months shooting there the village people were very friendly kind and they gave so much honour and respect to skeeter's daughter and family instead the town head man invited them to live in his own house with his family. Its the birthplace of the very famous dicot Veerappan.

They learned that this man was a very good person in real. During short breaks the crew would go around the town it was beautifully surrounded with rice fields corn fields sunflowers fields the morning sun will rise between the hills and set between it. Skeeter loved nature and enjoyed every sunrise and sunset there. She would accompany her daughter to the spot where the shooting took place slowly the town head man's family became very close to skeeter and her daughter they were like a family now.

In the weekend's skeeter would drive down 300 km back to madras she had to see about her home to and see olive. Once when she came back for the weekend and had to leave during her travel back beauty felt very uneasy she was vomiting on the way back she thought maybe its the change of water or climate or it could be food poison. But she drove as fast as she could to get back before dusk.

The path she had to drive was risky and dangerous after dusk. She had to drive through the forest. During night you will come across wild elephants deer's Cheeta's. If you're not careful anything could happen. Thanks to the advice of the head man's family skeeter knew what to do. She arrived at her daughter shooting spot it was late by then and she was very exhausted and tired so she went back to her room her daughter had late night shoot, and it was the last day too.

The next morning it was a sequel song that had to be short in the village temple the whole town was decorated as though a festival was on. They had dancer like folk dancers karate dancer's and all and her daughter looked so beautiful in her Indian traditional dress she played the role of a traditional Indian poor girl.

All-day music dancing games it looked very real. At night when everything went well the entire crew light boys to the producers-directors cameraman, everybody had dinner together.

They had to path the next day everyone was sad the village people brought gifts to skeeter's daughter [Alena] they loved her performance and sweet nature. skeeter and her daughter promised they would return back soon to see them all. As they got back home skeeter was still sick and never knew the cause of her sickness.

one day while skeeter was in her car she spotted olive car standing outside on the road she wondered why was his car standing out and waited to see what he was up to no doubts she trusted him. But to much trust blinds a person. A few minutes later he comes out and a lady with him.

The lady sees him to his car and goes back into the house as olive drives near he notices skeeter standing and waiting he drives away with speed so skeeter speeds up to him and tries to stop him but instead he bangs her car with force and bashes her car to a post automatically skeeter stops her car and gets down.

olive when he saw this he got down from his car and with a rage of anger walked right up to her and fisted her on her forehead. The blow was so hard that immediate there was a big huge lump on her head he fisted her on a nerve she cried out loud and on seeing this olive panicked and rushed her to the nearest hospital, The doctor's examined her and told beauty to take an X-Ray and some blood test, it was all done olive stood numb and speechless why was he like this was it because he was feeling guilty that skeeter saw him with another lady?

They waited at the reception lobby for the tests reports and guess what skeeter unexpected was expecting for another child. And that made olive more wild he just left the hospital and went away leaving her there alone. She took her little daughter's hand and got home sad.

She wondered what was the next she to do keep the child or abort it. skeeter was god-fearing she even thought maybe this time it could be a boy. She had by now four girls.

She wanted a boy and prayed it should be a boy.

Skeeter struggled alone olive stopped coming there for three months her second daughter was helping her financially. It was only 5 months that passed skeeter was feeling very odd in this pregnancy she often went to her gynaecologist for her regular check-up and they told her her baby was fine. She was only 28 weeks one day she went to the hospital nearby her house and skeeter told the doctors that she could feel her baby very low as though she was going to give birth any moment but they laughed and said: "no you're all right its only false extractions and due to so many children the uterus is weak".

skeeter knew what she had to do so she called and informed her gynaecologist she told skeeter to take an immediate scan at the nearest lab. Skeeter called olive he was in his factory he rushed immediate and drove her to the nearest lab. When the scan was done the result was skeeter had no fluid and that caused her the extractions her gyno asked her to immediately come down to the hospital. So they drove back to the city. When she was examined her doctors told her that she too weak and needed total bed rest or she would lose her baby.

skeeter was not a woman to sit in one place or be to her self every now and then she would shift her furniture's in her house and clean it was a disease like an OCD. Everywhere she went she would clean up. She would never stay at somebody house without her own pillow or bed sheet she carried one set everywhere. Even while travelling to her eldest daughter's house.

Like this skeeter was advised to take rest for at least 32 weeks. But as she felt better the next day she was back in her house cleaning taking her dog for a walk etc. Before leaving the hospital her doctor had given her an injection for her baby's lungs to develop she needed to take another after two days. But sadly since beauty did not take her doctors advise the next day she had severe extractions she was walking up and down with pain she had a very good neighbour who helped her during the absence of olive.

Now when skeeter called olive at 2 am on the 9th of June 2009 olive came for a while and sat near her. But he was so moody he was just scolding at her. She thought it was best for her to send him away as she could not take it any longer.
