CHAPTER 8 Hospital

In the hospital, Anita is safe and conscious. While Prateek speaks to the police about their group-

"We couldn't catch Salim, he was clever he killed his group of people and escaped so that we couldn't get Information. We are still searching for Salim. But the girls are safe, we send them home safely"

"But sir how could you let that idiot escape, he almost killed Anita."

"I am sorry Prateek but he was cleverer. He had a backup plan"

Prateek goes near Anita without saying anything to the police. Anita starts to feel conscious slowly. Prateek speaks with Anita-

"Why did you let him kill you and torture you, I would have died Instead of you"

"Prateek, your family needs you. You can't die for me"

"Nothing is more important than you, Anita. I won't let anything happen to you. I love you"

"What is the point of my living when my life is already half burned? It was better if I died. There is no point of living"

"You didn't do anything wrong, Anita, you deserve to live. You came all this way to Mumbai to meet me and now you are in the hospital. You saved those girls by risking your life. You are a fighter, Anita"

Anita becomes silent. Prateek understands the silence and hugs her. Then suddenly a girl comes to Anita's ward.

"Hi, can I talk with you?"

"Of course, come here"

The girl was a ten-year-old girl who was a victim of the assault. She was an orphan. She didn't have parents. Anita takes her in her bed and talks with her.

"What is your name?"

"Ayesha"

"What you wanted to tell me?"

"Thanks for saving my life, I heard the police say that you risked your life to save girls like me"

"You are welcome Ayesha, I am happy you are fine"

"Where are your parents?"

"I am an orphan, I don't have parents"

After listening to her words, Anita starts crying and hugs her tightly.

"Will you be with me from today, I will take care of you. I won't let anything happened to you"

"Will you be my mother from today?"

"Of course, I will be your mother and protect you from everything. I promise"

Ayesha hugs her and kisses her on her cheeks and Anita kisses her back. Prateek is happy for Anathemas she has someone to live for.

In a week Anita gets discharged from hospital .after getting discharged from hospital, Anita goes to the orphanage where Ayesha stays and adopts Ayesha and goes home. At home, a surprise is waiting for her.

" Anita, will you marry me?"

Anita is in shock. She was excited, she didn't expect this surprise.

"Yes"

Prateek slides a ring in her finger and hugs her tightly.

"But, what about our parents?"

"I don't care if your parents or my parents accept our marriage; I only want you as my wife and Ayesha as my daughter"

"Thank you"

"No, I should say thanks to you for being by my side even If my parents said no"

After listening to his words, Anita starts crying but Ayesha wipes her tears and says-

"Mamma, don't cry. Papa will protect us"

Prateek is in shock because Ayesha accepted him as her father without hesitating.

"Ayesha, you accept him as your father?"

"Yes, you both are my mother and father"

They both hug Ayesha and promised that they will protect each other forever.

While Ayesha and Prateek talk. Anita calls her parents to tell what happened while she was in Mumbai. She tells her about Ayesha and Prateek's proposal and how she met him. Her parents were in shock. They gave Anita an option, either she will leave Ayesha and Prateek and come to them forever (or) forget about them and live with Prateek.

Anita chooses the second option. Because she loved Ayesha and Prateek and she couldn't leave them for her parent's .she said sorry to her parents and said her last goodbye. After cutting the call, Anita went to her bedroom and closed the door and cried badly. Prateek noticed Anita and went to Anita along with Ayesha and opened the door.

"Anita, why are you crying?"

"Nothing, I am fine"

"Mamma, please don't cry"

"Ayesha, I am fine"

"Mamma, please don't lie. I can see you are crying"

Ayesha, my parents are not accepting you and your father"

"Grandma?"

"Yes, Ayesha"

"Don't worry, we are there for you. I will talk to them"

"I know that and I love you both"

The three hug each other and Ayesha prepare her mother for marriage the next day.
