"Her cousin and the son of my brother Vivaan died in a hospital. Vivaan was Rani's best friend because they were of same age then, at age 5 the both of them could speak and write English fluently, which wasn't easy because of the indian accent. But these two smart kids could do it. They would always sing the letters of the alphabet,the vowel sounds and the consonant sounds. Rani impressed me so much because I wasn't physically there to teach her but she aced it, we would always study through video call.

    One day Rani and Vivaan were coming back from school...

FLASHBACK

"Puchki hurry up, we have to go home. Aunty said she would call us when we get home let's go" Vivaan said

"I am coming Vivaan, stop screaming"

A little boy who had full hair and a girl with pigtails were walking and talking, the boy was carrying a pink bag and a green one while the girl was busy eating biscuits, she would take a bite and then feed it to the boy.

"Why is your bag so heavy Puchki"

"Because there are books inside, shouldn't we wait for uncle to pick us" Addy asked

"Papa said he won't be around"

" Oh" little Addy said and started skipping and jumping as she was walking

" Puchki don't do that on the road" Vivaan warned, he was like an elder brother even though they were same age and grew together

Addy walked back to him and pinched his cheeks

"Brother Vivaan, you know you're so cute. But you'll become ugly when you grow up but I'll still be pretty. A princess is always pretty right?" Addy asked with glimmering eyes

"Yes puchki I'll be ugly and you'll be the prettiest girl God created" Vivaan agreed

"Brother Vivaan you're so sweet" Addy said pinching his cheeks and started moving with her back

"Don't do that Puchki, turn around"  he said but Addy only stuck out her tongue

"Puchki turn around now or I'll tell Aunty"

He threatened but the girl was not listening to him, she kept moving with her back until she eventually stepped into the main road and unexpectedly a car was coming towards that direction that she stood. She just stood still like a statue when she saw the lights of the car, she couldn't move but then the little boy pushed her out of the way and instead of getting hit by the car , the little boy was the one who got hit.

"Vivaan ji, Vivaan brother, please open your eyes" she cried when she saw blood on the floor where Vivaan was. The lady whose car hit Vivaan got out and immediately rushed him to the hospital, Addy kept crying inside the car.

The hospital that the lady took him to was the nearest one as Vivaan needed immediate treatment but when they arrived at the hospital, the doctor and nurses refused to treat Vivaan until they paid money.

"Doctor, I currently don't have money with me but I promise that I'll pay, please treat the little boy please" the woman cried begging the doctor

"Sorry madam but I can't"

"What do you mean you can't doctor, can't you see he's a child, don't you have one, have pity and please treat him" the woman begged holding the doctors coat

"I already said I can't" the doctor said

"Little girl do you have your parents number, or any money with you" the woman asked Addy but she kept crying

The woman was still holding Vivaan in her arms when Varun walked in

"Papa, Vivaan ji, please help Vivaan brother" Addy cried out to Varun

"What happened to my son" Varun asked taking Vivaan away from the woman

"Accident..mistake" the woman was shaking and crying

"Doctor doesn't want to treat the little boy" the woman said

"Mr Varun is this your son, I didn't know else I would've started treatment already, nurse take him in"

"Why should you treat people based on their identity and what they have to offer, isn't your job to save lives. If anything happens to my son I won't spare any of you" Varun warned

Addy had gone inside the ward with the nurse who took Vivaan.

She was there when they were trying to save his life, she was there also when they proclaimed him dead. She never left his hands for a second even after he died they still held each other tightly.

Since then Addy became scared of staying in the hospital and because of that she bought 50% of the shares of five different hospitals and made their motto " treatment before payment"

The hospital Tricia works in and the one Addy was currently in are among the five hospitals

Back to reality

"So that's why she's traumatized and scared of the hospital, she probably thinks you're Vivaan and is holding on to you tightly so he doesn't go away again" Daksha said

"Then I'll hold her, give it here, give it to me" Derek said

"My daughter is not a thing that you'll order for and get It, she's a human" Daksha said to Derek

"I'm sorry but I don't think he should be the one holding her"

"My daughter is in safe hands Derek if you haven't noticed, look how warm she is, let's go out now, let's leave her to rest" Daksha said and left the room after Derek stormed out angrily

"Ray, this is food for Addy and this here is her medicine make sure she have it. She has gastric ulcers so make sure she eats" Tricia said

"Noted, I'll take care of your friend trust me" Raymond said to Tricia and Tricia felt that there was another meaning to what he said but she trusted him, so she left him with Addy who was still sound asleep like the big baby that she is.
