Chapter 5 - Filing a Case

The room became silent suddenly and no one is speaking out about anything after listening to the name Clara. There the room started knocking by someone, everyone turned to it. James moved towards the door to look who knocked on the door, he opened it with a little silence, he did not want to make noise as Mathew would disturb the sound.

The door handle looks very different as it was a hospital door, there is no lock to it but there is a chain locking it from inside, he removed the chain from its gap and looked outside, it was the nurse following the cops.

He tensed suddenly while seeing the cops over there. They said "Excuse me" and rushed into the room and straight towards Mathew. The two of the cops looked at him and inquired about the accident which occurred last night.

Mathew then started explaining the actual incident over the last night. "I somehow crossed the zebra line without seeing the red signal and it's my fault. But meanwhile, a car came from the right and hit me very hard and quickly. Then I dragged on the road for a far distance and I fell unconscious. Later I did not remember anything, I think someone passing through the road took me to this hospital sir".

The cops noted down everything about the incident in detail, took a signature from Mathew, and filed a case over him. The cops would take him to custody after he was recovered and discharged from the hospital. They took the signatures from his parents too, not to escape from the hospital as a formality. The two cops left the place after all the formalities were completed by them.

Sophia was feeling very tense after the cops visited the hospital and filed a complaint on him. Bruce immediately moved out of the room by giving some courage to Sophia and asked James to take care of everything until he returned back. He rushed to the attorney and asked for his help as he was his best friend since childhood. He thought only he is the person who could save them from this situation

The attorney asked for the full details about the incident and wanted to speak to Mathew for full clarity about it. So the two began the journey towards the hospital. In the meanwhile, Sophia again started inquiring about Clara slowly so as not to disturb him much. James advised Sophia not to talk about it at this moment, as it might disturb him a lot and the blood pressure would rise high. The nurse asked them to take care of the blood pressure more carefully, not to maximize, if it so, then she asked them to inform them immediately.

Sophia looked at James with a serious look so that he bent his head down towards the floor where the tiles attached to the floor were shining like a mirror, he could see his image on it too. It's very clear and he was feeling tense about Mathew's health by looking at his face on the shining floor because of her mother's question.

While Mathew was thinking about Clara and trying to explain the situation of the party last night, all of a sudden the blood pressure started rising high due to hypertension forming in his heart. There the room was disturbed again by his health, breathing problems started again and he was taking very heavily. James moved out immediately and called out the nurse in an emergency.

Somehow, they controlled the breathing Mathew and left the place. Meanwhile, Bruce and his attorney friend reached the hospital and knocked on the door. James moved out in a jump and opened it, the two came inside and the attorney sat beside Mathew and slowly started inquiring about the incident.

He explained the same thing, which was informed to the cops. He asked once again to explain if anything was left behind in the incident. He yelled "Nothing". The attorney left the room talking to Bruce about the incident. He comforted Bruce not to take much tension about this and he will take care of the case.

"I will appoint someone who works on it very perfectly to find out the details, if possible I personally enter into the field" attorney left the place by studying the case file which was left a copy of it at the hospital reception.

After the attorney left the place, Bruce came inside the room and looked at his son very disappointingly as he was not able to see his son's face rubbed with the accident. He just dropped some tears from his eyes and suffered a lot, "Why are all the hardships coming on his way after the breakup?".

Sophia too suffered a lot after seeing her husband's pain in his heart. They had discussed openly searching for Clara again so that he would become normal again.

"Mom, I think that was not possible now", Mathew showed off his sadness by dropping some of the tears while laying on the bed.

"What?, but Why?" The three shocked at once

"Yes. Now she was carrying a five-year-old baby in her arms when I saw her at last night's party" Mathew yelled out a little bigger by taking a long deep breath and gathering all the energy in him…

The three stood like a statue after listening to the words of Mathew and were not able to speak anything more to comfort him.

Let us see what happens next. Will they ever meet again? Who is that kid actually? Is she married? But who is her husband? Why didn't he come to the party?. A lot of questions were crawling on the four of their minds and Mathew's heart was beating a little louder while thinking about Clara. He was able to listen to his heartbeat for himself.
