Chapter 71

  SHAYAN'S POV

  The next morning I was preparing for work when I got a call from my mom. I hope everything is alright with them, a call from her often meant that something was wrong.

  "Hello mom, is everything alright? " I asked and all I could hear was my mom sobbing.

  "Mom, what's wrong?" I asked already panicking.

  God, please let all be well with my dad.

  "It's your dad," she said and my heart sank. Please God let him not be dead.

  "He had a heart attack and he's in an even worse condition than he was," she informed and I heaved a sigh of relief. At least he was still alive.

  "We have to do the surgery now."

  Surgery? But we don't have enough money for that yet.

  "But mom we don't have enough money for that." I panicked on the verge of tears.

  Where can we get that much money for surgery?

  "I know Shayan, I'm thinking of taking a loan or selling the house," she informed.

  "Loan?" I asked panicking, how would we pay that back?
