Meera's POV

I was not able to even think anything when dad's phone came.
All I know was I was crying badly!!

They are my life and I couldn't imagine anything happening to them. Her heart was already so weak and then now second attack !! I couldn't even think of that papers infront me.

Abeer came and hugged me tightly and honestly I needed that!! I felt a very soothing effect.

I felt like homecoming !!

And those all tickling sensations in body !!

Abeer was looking after me so much that I can't now deny that he's genuine.. But how can I build up the trust again on him!!

We were in the jet when he told me to eat dinner and I told him that I'm not hungry and as a very mature man he made me understand that not eating food won't make mom alright!!
But then this man!! Didn't whatever he say apply on him too !! He didn't want to eat..and I know the reason very well but I don't know how and why he listened me in once.

He's doing this since so many days Meera !!
Yeah he's !!

I'm so tensed for him too. I know his and mom's relationship.

He's a mumma's boy !!

And no problem in that. That's really very good thing. I like this thing and that's why I know how how close he is to mom.
I know he's not saying anything but there's a pain in his heart which he's not showing.

We reached India and we sat in the car. I don't know how I forget that we're going to hospital.
As soon as I stepped out of the car my legs froze there.

No!!No hospitals!!!

No hospitals!! Oh God !! How will I go inside...

No Meera...you've to overcome this fear of yours.

Everyone needs you inside..

Mom needs you inside !!!

You've to go come on !!

Thinking all this I went inside.
Dad asked me that why did I even come here.

Yeah he knows about this fear.
Honestly they know much more about me then my own parents know !!!

He was going to tell Abeer about this but I stopped him making excuse. Dad told me to sit on the couch on the back side of the ward.

I came there but then I remembered that I forgot to bring my phone from the car.
Joseph too was not here.

I myself have to go !

I headed towards the main side of the ward when I heard someone crying.

I looked in front when I looked at Abeer.
He was hugging dad and crying.

Now tell me who'll say that he's the same man who was wiping my tears telling me not to cry.

But honestly seeing him in tears make me damn sad and emotional !

"Dad..I..I can't imagine anything without her. I may grow in age but I'll be her small Abeer only. You the till now I said myself that everything will be fine...just because Meera was soo soo much tensed..I didn't want her to cry a bit now.. But you and I both know condition is so damn critical.. And in front of you I know I can't be strong. I want to see her dad..I want her to hug me tightly." Abeer said crying and hugged dad tightly.

I too had tears in my eyes.

Firstly because thinking of mom. Her condition is really very  critical.

I don't even want to sit for a second without her...

And secondly his words...

For Meera !! No more tears in her eyes !!

Is he the same Abeer Malhotra which I know!!

I don't know if I can trust him or not!!

I looked at him how he was hugging dad ...like a little kid.

And here he was behaving as if he's very strong in front of me!!

I saw the time in my watch and went outside where Joseph was standing.

"Madam do you want something" He asked

"And since when this Madam formalities" I asked and he smiled

"What do you want sister" He asked again and I smiled

"My phone is in the car only. Going to take the same" I said and was about to move when he stopped me.

"You go inside, I'll give you that. Paparazzi is just waiting for anyone from family to come and they'll attack them with questions." he told and I sighed.

This shitty paparazzi!!

Damn!! Meera aren't you talking like him!!

"Okay I'm here only" I said and he nodded going

Soon he returned with my phone and I thanked him going inside.

I then called Scarlett aunty and Naina and told them that we've reached.

"Meera what are you doing here. Come inside" Came his voice and I looked at him.

"I was just calling in NY." I said and he nodded

"Aren't you feeling sleepy today" he asked and I denied.

"My sleep flew away coming here " I mumbled

"You hate hospitals" He asked and I looked at him

"No.. nothing like that" I said

"I'm not that idiot Meera" he told and I looked at him

"I said na..it's nothing like that" I said

"Okay if you don't wanna tell. Now come inside." he told grabbing my hand and I looked at him and  my hand.

"Emm..sorry..I.. just" he was going to say when I cut him.

"It's okay. And moreover please don't let mom and dad know a bit that something is wrong between us" I mumbled and he looked at me

"Why you're so good Meera" he asked

"I'm good with the people whom I love" I told looking at him

"I hope I was included in them" He said and I looked shocked at him

"Excuse me" I told

"Nothing. Come inside" he muttered grabbing my hand again and taking me inside when I saw  the cafeteria.

"Abeer.. stop"I said and he stopped looking at me

"Now what" he asked

"You just go.. I'm coming.. " I said and he looked at me

"Why.. where you wanna go" He asked

"Just go. I'm coming in two minutes" I said and he nodded

"Come fast." He told and I nodded.

Aren't you getting habituated of his care Meera??
No I'm not!!
Don't lie to yourself Meera!! Fine! Yeah I'm so what!!!

I went inside the cafeteria.

"Excuse me.. Can I get four cup of coffee. Three normal coffee and one black coffee without sugar" I placed my order and she nodded.

That man needs coffee if he is awake in night!
And dad too will need coffee..

After all.. Like Father Like son!!

"Mam your order" she said and I nodded.
After paying her I took the tray and went towards entrance again.

"Joseph.. Your coffee" I said handing him a cup and he smiled.

"That wasn't needed and if you wanted you should've told me" He told 

"It's okay. I can do some work" I said handing him the cup.

Going inside I was seeing the hospital walls and wards and everything again.

No Meeraa!!  This is nothing. You aren't afraid of them. It's okay.  Everyone is here.. your family is here..

I tightened my hold on tray and went near the OT.

No! No crying Meera. Be strong. They need you and if you'll be weak then how they'll handle themselves!

"Dad.. "I called and he looked at me.

"Doll.. " he said and I smiled giving him his cup of coffee.

"I'm not hungry Doll. " he said and I smiled

"Is that so.. See dad.. I don't want mom to scold me that I didn't take your care when she wasn't here." I frowned and he smiled.

"Doll.. I don't feel like drinking or eating anything" he said

"Dad.. mom will be fine. Trust me. She'll be!! After all who can bear us except her. She has to be... for him.. For you.. for me...but will she like you behaving like this.. deteriorating your health when you've to be all good for her " I  asked and he smiled

"No one can win in front of you doll.. and Me never!! Aditi will come out soon all fit and fine" He said taking the cup from my hand and I smiled

"She'll dad" I repeated and he nodded

I turned and looked at Abeer who was already looking at me smiling.
I went towards him.

"Thankyou..for taking care of dad" he Said

"He's my dad too" I told and he nodded

I was handing him the cup of coffee but he denied.

"I'm really not hungry" He said

So now he think he can lie to me!!

"I know you want coffee in midnights. Take that" I mumbled

"Meera.. I said na honestly I don't need it. You take yours" He said

"Now do I have to repeat what I said to dad.. or one minute.. someone said me that your not eating won't make mom alright .."I told and he smiled

"Dad's so right. No one can win in front of you" he said taking the cup of coffee and I looked at him

"I lost myself in front of you.. but I didn't let you win too" I stated and he sighed

"I don't know whether you trust me or not.. but honestly I would've never ever done that what you thought.  I'm bad Meera.. I may be worst.. but I'm not inhuman at all" He said and I looked at him wanting to find out any ounce of fakeness, but as always I couldn't find any.

"Coffee" I whispered and he looked at me

"Coffee is getting cold" I told again and he nodded

"I'm talking about something Meera.. is that divorce so much necessary for you. Can't you give us a chance " he asked

"Right now there are more important things to do Abeer." I said and he sighed

"We'll talk about this." he told 

"There is nothing to talk about Abeer" I said

"Trust me Meera..there's much to know...About you.. about me.. about us" he told looking at me 

"Was there any Us between you and me Abeer" I asked

"Some things can only be felt Meera.." he answered and moved past me towards dad and I was just repeating what he said.

No Meera!! Don't loose yourself in his word traps!! If you loose once... you'll loose forever!!!

And moreover.. I've more important thing to do right now.. but I'm not sure.. how.. how to ask him about it..
I think he might have done that.. but then too I should ask once!!

I completed my coffee and went to dad.
But I can't talk in front of him!!
And luckily he got some call and he went away!

"Dad" I called and he looked at me

"Yes Meera" he asked

"Did.. Did you tell them" I asked and he denied

"Why.. " I whispered

"They'll not come here Meera and you know the reasons better" he said

"No dad. They must know about it!!  And they've to be here" I told

"I can't put your life in danger and they coming here means danger for you" he stated

"No dad. It's not done. You've to call them... they've to be here." I said

"Meeraa.. no means no. They will not come here in any way " he argued

"Who will not come here in anyway" came a voice and we turned.

"No.. No one" I said and he looked at me raising his one eyebrow.

"I'm not deaf I guess. Dad whom are you talking about" he asked looking at dad while I gestured dad not to say anything.

"Meera... stop gesturing him" He snapped and I was shocked will be an understatement.

How the hell he knows when my back is facing him!!

"That's none of your concern Abeer" I told and he looked at me

"Everything related to me is of my concern Meera.. remember that you're still my wife" he said

"One minute!!  Still means what???  You guys are hiding something right" Dad interrupted and I looked at him.

God these Malhotras have so sharp ears!!

And this junior Malhotra has two eyes on back too!!

"Dad I mean.. she's still my wife.. coming here doesn't mean only your favorite daughter right!!  So I said that.. nothing else" Abeer lied and I relieved.

Thank god.
He saved us right now!!

See Meera.. an "us" between you both!!

Damn you mind. !! Don't play this word games with me!!!

"Now dad would you tell me about whom you were talking" He asked again

"Don't you get in once.. I said it's none of your concern and stay out of it" I gritted and he glared me.

"Everything related to you is of my concern Meera.. understand that..If it would've been something normal I would've never asked this much.. but I can see color of your faces drained.. and trust me my family is the most important thing for me" he warned dead serious.

Family??  Am I really your family Abeer!!!

"Abeer she'll tell you once she'll get comfortable with it.. don't force her" dad said

"Dad.." he was going to say when I cut him off

"My parents" I whispered while a tear left my eyes.

Ve yaade jab aati hai..
to sath me dard pahle laati hai!
Or us beete kal ki vo yaade...
mere aaj ko bikher jati hai!!
Yaad aate hai vo pal..
Jisme sirf takleef sahi thi!
Yad aate hai vo pal..
Jab khwahishe hi mar gayi thi!!
Itni aasani se sab
kaise bhula du!
Chahe laakh bura hua ho..
Mai apne ap ko...
Apne vajood se kaise mita du!!
Mai apne ap ko...
Apne vajood se kaise mita du!!

( whenever those memories come..
Firstly comes the pain with them!
And that memories of mine past...
Ruins my present !!
I remember those moments..
When I endured only pain !
I remember those moments...
When all dreams went in vein !!
How can I forget all that...
So much easily !
Even if a million of bad happened...
How I'll erase myself from my existence !!
How I'll erase myself from my existence !! )
