Chapter 16

Writer's pov:

They all went on their two bikes and reached the hospital. They went inside. Anjali and Aadhi shocked to see their mother was waiting for them. She just glared at Anjali.

"Mom, why are you here?" Anjali asked her.

"I too want to see her. Come" she joined with them. They reached the room. They saw Vaishu's mom waiting outside the room.

Anu talked to her casually, and after enquiring about her, they all entered inside except Aadhi and Vaishu's mom. Anu checked her health chart which was tied up in her bed railing. Vaishu was lying there with her weak body.

"Vaishu, how are you now?" Anjali asked immediately seeing her. Vaishu thought Anu as a doctor who came to check her so she didn't mind her. She nodded her head.

"She is fine. Her blood count is little low and it will reach high in few hours if she continues the treatment," Anu said still looking at the chart.

"Vaishu, she is my mom," Anjali said making her shocked. She immediately tried to sit but Anu held her down.

"No, it's okay. Take rest," Anu said patting her shoulder. She just smiled at her.

"Concentrate on your studies for the remaining years. Even after your studies, if you love Aadhi the same as now, I will talk to him. So don't worry about anything now " Anu said, caressing her head. Everyone in the room looked at her amused. Vaishu felt her tears in her cheeks.

"Thanks, aunty" she whispered slowly.

"Where is Aadhi? Call him inside. We can leave," Anu said to Anjali. Bala went and called him. He came inside and looked at Vaishu sadly, whereas Vaishu didn't have any interest to stare at him.

"Okay, take care Vaishu. Come we will leave," Anu said, signaling everyone except Aadhi and went outside.

Aadhi understood that her mom knows everything about their issue, and Anjali was behind everything. His eyes are red in anger and he controlled his rage looking at Vaishu.

Aadhi still staring at her and he didn't know what to tell her. Vaishu was looking at her hand while playing with it.

"I am sorry for my behavior. Take care of your health. Bye," Aadhi finally whispered. Vaishu nodded. He looked at her one last time and went out. Vaishu felt relieved at last.

"Ma, can I stay with her?" Anjali asked her. Anu grabbed her hand suddenly and went to the corner.

"What are you thinking of yourself? Aravind said everything to me. He is adding so many complaints on your list. Why are you even not listening to his class? You know he is the best teacher in our gang, no one can teach like him. I need to talk to your dad about this. Now, stay with her and we will have a long discussion tomorrow," she talked dangerously and went out after bidding bye to Vaishu's mom.

Anjali just shocked in her tracks. She won't be able to handle her dad if he comes to know about it, but now she is completely trapped.

 Anjali took care of her after Anu left. Vaishu's mom asked her to leave home since it was evening, so she went bidding bye to Vaishu and her mom.

At night, Vaishu slept early because of the medicine she took. Her mom went outside to eat her dinner, leaving Vaishu alone in the room. A mid-forty man ran to her room and looked at Vaishu with his teary eyes.

He touched her cheeks crying silently and sat beside her. He was deeply immersed in his thoughts while massaging her hands.

"Why the hell you came back now?" Vaishu's mom asked, standing at the door. She glared at him angrily. He went outside so that she can talk to her without disturbing her daughter.

"I have every right to see her. She got admitted to the hospital and you didn't even inform me till now," he said more politely.

"Why the hell I need to inform you? You chose your family over us and you don't have any rights to see her," she yelled making all the attention towards her.

"Still, we are not divorced so I can even give complaints about you and stop shouting," he said, trying to calm her but those words made her angry more.

"If you have that much guts, then go and complain about me. I will soon file a divorce so that I can be free," she shouted madly.

"Stop shouting. I am the one who has every right to shout here, not you. My daughter is sick, and you didn't even let me know that. I had to know by some third person, isn't it weird?" he asked, losing his patience.

The nurse came towards them and asked them to leave from there because of the disturbance to other patients.

"Look, I have every right to see her whenever I want. If you stop me from seeing her, then that's it, and she will be in my home after that without you. Now, I am leaving and take care of her." he said and went outside angrily.

She cried, looking at his way of disappearance. She stood numb for a few minutes, she wiped her tears and went inside.

At Anjali's home:
   
   Anjali slowly walked to her room without her mom's notice. She freshened up and relaxed.

Meanwhile, Varun called her. She attended.

"How is she now?" he asked her immediately.

"Yeah, she is fine now," she sounded sad.

"What happened to you? Are you still feeling about the scolding?" he asked her confused.

"No, Arvind sir complained everything to mom and she warned me that she is going to tell this to my dad," she said politely thinking how to handle his dad.

"So, what's your problem with this? You are his favorite daughter; he won't say anything, obviously," he said confidently.

"You are wrong. He won't scold me but will start his advice today and will end that tomorrow morning, making my ears bleed," she said, making him laugh.

"Advice is far better than scolding, and you deserve that for not paying attention in his class." he chuckled.

"You too brutus, go away. Bye," she said faking her anger.

"Okay, fine. Just make him understand that you will listen hereafter so he won't advise you much," he said trying to comfort her.

"What? I don't lie to my dad. I can even hear his advice instead of hearing that professor's teaching," she said and he sighed.

"I have a doubt, are you a human or some alien from other planets?" he whispered, controlling his laugh.

"Allien. Now, go away. Don't talk to aliens because they can possess you anytime," she chuckled this time.

"Then I want to be possessed by someone," he said, making her blush.

"Hey idiot, mom is calling you for dinner and here you are always talking on the phone. Come fast," Aadhi said while standing at her doorstep. He went.

"Okay, bye," she said fastly.

"Bye, have a special dinner," he chuckled at her. She ran down looking at all of them.

She sat opposite to her dad and looked at her mom pleadingly.

"Don't show those innocent looks to me. I already told your dad everything," she said making her regret looking at her.

Aadhi was scared that they were talking about his issue. His dad will think of him as a typical human being if he knows about this love matter. They both were looking down at the food trying to act normal.

"I am not going to scold you, Anjali. It's your wish whether you want to study or not. The only thing that concerns me is don't spoil your mom's name in front of her friends." he said eating his food. Aadhi was confused about what they are talking about.

"Dad, I am trying to change. I am trying my hard to study now. Varun is helping me and moreover I feel like playing or sleeping in his class," she said innocently.

"Try to listen from now on. Varun will be with you just for two more years, then who will teach you?" he asked. Aadhi and Anu were just eating their foods all the while.

"He will do PG in the same college, dad," she said more innocently. Krishna looked at her blankly.

"Did he said that to you? His dad is trying his best to get a seat from the well-reputed university in Germany. Even he asked my help and I recommended him." he said, making her gasp.

Anjali and Aadhi was shocked to hear that from his dad. Anjali felt cheated because he always helped her in every problem but he didn't even open his feelings or problems until now.

"Dad, are you telling it for real or just for my sake?" she asked immediately trying to think more possibilities.

"Wait a minute," he said and took his mobile out. He called Varun and put that in a speaker. He attended after a few rings.

"Hello uncle, how are you?" Varun asked.

"I am fine, Varun, how are you?" he said.

"Fine, uncle, what happened?" Varun asked.

"Your dad talked to me yesterday about your PG in Germany, and I talked to many specialists in Germany. They will search and tell me in a few days so I will let you know in few days," Krishna whispered. There was an absolute silence on the other side.

"Haan, uncle, thank you," he whispered more reluctantly. Anjali just sat there numb hearing everything.

"Okay, Varun, will talk to you later, take care, bye," he said and cut his call. He looked at Anjali.

"I will try to learn dad," she said and stood up from her leaving half the food on her plate. She walked upstairs and into her room.

Krishna and Anu felt something weird in her behavior but they didn't utter anything. Everyone ate their food and went to their room except Aadhi. He went to Anjali's room and sat beside her. She simply sat there looking at Tv.

"What happened? Why dad suddenly talked to you like that?" he asked her. She looked at him.

"Aravind sir is mom's college mate and I came to know that today. He complained about me to mom that I was not listening in his class. That's it," she said simply.

"Oh god, how do you know that? They both didn't even tell us till now," he asked.

"Varun accidentally said today when I asked him to help me. I asked mom that why she didn't tell us and she simply replied that we would take advantage of him if we came to know about that," she whispered slowly. He nodded looking at her.

"Okay, don't decide anything before you talk to Varun, bro. Maybe he has his own reasons to do," he said still looking at her. She too looked at him sadly.

"I don't know what to do, Aadhi. I don't know how to express this thing. I developed an unknown feeling towards him. I don't know whether it is a good thing or not, but this thing hurts me a lot," she said stammering. Aadhi just hugged her to make her comfortable.

"Whatever it is, just let it go. Don't feel for anything. Talk to Varun bro tomorrow and maybe you will get the reason behind it." he whispered and she nodded her head.

After a few minutes, he went to his room. Anjali didn't get any sleep. She wants to yell at Varun for hiding this thing at the same time she doesn't want him to leave her alone. She decided to talk to him tomorrow and slept in the process.

Aadhi too didn't get any sleep thinking about Vaishu. He also decided to talk to her after she gets cured. So many things just happened in a single day, making all of them regret their decisions.
