THEY SAY LOVE HEALS ALL WOUNDS BUT DOES IT?

CHAPTER TWO

"I am sorry, we tried everything but she couldn't make it. We are very sorry", the doctor said while he looked down.

As soon as Shrishti heard from the doctor, she ran to the room where Sarla's body lay; Sophia tailing behind her. When she reached, she slowly uncovered her face whistle her hands trembling because she didn't believe what the doctor had said and neither did she want to believe it.
She looked at her mother's dead body and suddenly cried out loud.

"No, no no. Mum please wake up", she said while trying to wake her up but sadly Sarla wasn't responding.

"Mum you can't just leave us like this. You promised to never ever leave us, you've got to keep your promise".
Sophia who was devastated as much tried to reason with her that her mum is dead but she couldn't accept anything.

"Am sorry dear but we can't do anything about it. She's dead", Sophia continued to say.

She hugged Shrishti while trying to comfort her. Sophia didn't think a day that started so beautifully and full of happiness would end in heartbreaks. She saw how aunt Sarla was happy about Preeta and Prithvi's wedding and even though Karan turned out to be groom; she accepted him and entrusted him with Preeta's life thinking he would protect her daughter but he did the opposite and because of his actions Sarla is dead. Yes Sophia blames him because had he not abandoned Preeta, perhaps she wouldn't have ended up in the hospital and her pregnancy getting revealed like that.
She's so afraid for her friend. She doesn't know how Preeta will react to the news of her mother's passing especially when she finds out how her mom got the heart attack that cost her life.

Sophia took Shrishti outside because the doctors had come to take Sarla's body to the morgue as they waited for when it will be taken. Even though she resisted at first, eventually she let go and told Shrishti to go home and inform the rest. However Shrishti didn't wanna go since she didn't wanna leave her sister alone but Sophia convinced her and promised to stay with Preeta till she woke up.
Shrishti left feeling angony, sadness and couldn't control her tears. She thought of calling Sammy but then remembered that he was with Karan and the bustard left and hurt her sister which means he knew everything that Karan was planning. The Luthras hurt her sister and killed her mother. Hence she declined calling Sammy and even started hating him. She vow to never have any relationship with Sammy or any friendship with anyone from that family.

As for Sophia, as soon as Shrishti had left she called her parents and informed them of Sarla's passing. She called her mum and on the third ring she picked.

"Mum" she called while crying

"Sweetie, what's wrong? Why are you crying?".

"Something horrible happened. You've got to get here as soon as possible".

"Your scaring me now; what happened? And I thought it was Preeta's wedding today. What happened? ".

"It was but something bad happened and it's about aunt Sarla".

"What do you mean?"

"She's.......she's. ......she's dead mum, she suffered from a heart attack".

Sophia didn't get a reply immediately and asked her mum if she was still there.

"Yes dear I am. Am just shocked. How did it happen? And how are the girls doing?".

"I can't tell you everything over the phone but they are not okay and that's why you need to get here really first".

"Okay sweetie, I will inform your brother and father and we will get the first flight to Mumbai. We will be there soon".

Sophia bid her goodbye and then left to be with Preeta.
