CLARA'S DILEMMA

Alex p.o.v,

Post his deep thoughts Alex opened his chair and called Daniel and ordered him to keep an eye on Niklaus to inform his each and every moment. Daniel agreed for it and left the room.

-----------------

Clara p.o.v,

After hearing her dad's word she almost freezed on the same place and staring him with her paled face.

Clae: Da ....aad wh.....attt?

(Nik stood from the chair and took her hands into his and looked into her eyes with worried look)

Nik: Clae dear, I know it's really hard for you to digest but please listen to me in the current situation you are the only one who can help me, if not I may lose my company forever and I'll commit suicide.

(once Nik completes his word Clae stare him with serious and worried note).

Clae: Da....aaad, please don't talk like this, ple.....ease, we can find some other solution.

Nik: No dear, I did everything to retain our company but I'm stuck with nothing and finally have got this deal from our major share holder and left two option for me one is to make you has his wife if not I'll lose our company, will you please help your daddy to have our company back.

( he pleaded to Clae and she can't even speak out a single word with her dad's word because she madly loves Eric, how can she Leave him and marry a new person)

Clae: U....h..mmm , N...oooo dad I can't, please don't force me.

(she said this on her broken tone and ran to her room. By hearing her words Nik had no choice to do so he headed straight to his room and locked himself also Jennifer too not in the house. He went near to his bed and sat on the floor and rest his head on bed, his thoughts were revolving around him without his sense tears started to run from his eyes and fell down on his hands. He opened his drawer and took the sleeping pills in his hands, even he do not want to force his daughter he tried this with little hope and failed too in it so he don't want to force her because he loves her so much and don't want to lose her for his company. While immerged in his deep thoughts he felt a sudden pain on his chest and pressed it with his hand but by second by second the pain is unbearable and tried to shout but couldn't and fell on the floor unconsciously.)

Once Clae entered her room she fell on the bed and hugged her pillow to hide her emotions and started to cry. She too doesn't want her dad to fell like this but also cannot able to lose her love and her thoughts were revolving with her dad's word ' SUICIDE' because her dad means alot to her. she can't able to take a decision, with her deep thoughts she fell on sleep.

Next few minutes Jennifer came back to house and shocked by seeing the empty living room and searched for Nik and Clea by calling their names and headed to their room after knowing the room locked inside she was shocked because she knows very well that Nik never did this since their marriage and shouted with his name and tru d to open the door but no sucess so she searched for spare keyon the drawer with worried face and losing her patience by not getting it at last she got it from the back of the stand and rushed to the door and opened it with huge force. Once she entered the room she was freezed by looking at Nik's condition, it took some time to recognise the situation and ran to him to wake him but no use then she found the sleeping pills fell on the floor so she decided that he took sleeping pills to commit suicide and called the servents with hurry tone, few of them came there with sweaty face and gasping. Jennifer shouted at them.

Jennifer: ASK THE DIVER TO TAKE THE CARR.

(one of them ran outside and instructed the driver to take the car. With the servents help she took Nik to the nearby hospital in next half an hour. There doctor gave deep care about Nik and treated him with huge care. After an hour a doctor came out from the ICU with serious face and came to Jennifer. she is eagerly awaiting for his words and he took a deep breath to speak out.)

Doctor: Mrs. Niklaus, please be patient and listen to me carefully, your husband met with minor cardiac arrest and lost his consciousness. so he need complete bed rest and good care atleast one month and most importantly no shock news should let him hear. If it so then we cannot able to save him, please be careful and as of now he is out of danger.

(after hearing doctor's word carefully Jennifer shook her head with confusion)

Jennifer: But doctor while I saw him I found a sleeping pills too around, Is it mean that he didn't took that!!!

Doctor: No mam, he didn't took the pill and left the place by instructing her to take care of him.
