Pinky Don't cry. Doctors are treating him, nothing will happen to our son. Believe me. Shakthi consoled his wife who is crying for her son 2 hours without eating anything.
I'm so scared shakthi ji. Blood came out from his mouth and I.. she couldn't say further she again started to cry hiding her face in her husband's neck.
Nothing will happen to our son, shakthi whispered in her ears caressing her back to make her calm down. She alerted and got up seeing the Shadow figure under door side.
Doctor, how is my son? She asked with hopping eyes.

Listen Mrs. Oberoi. Yours son is in critical condition. His body contain alcohol more than the blood. Doctor sighed. I put risk in my job and came to your house to treat your son, but I can't do it anymore. You have to admit him in hospital as soon as possible. If you give him  treatment  in home without getting him to hospital not wanting to get caught into media then I'm sorry to say you may lose your son one day. I believe you'll take good decision. He said looking at shakthi.
Make sure to not let him take alcohol. Even a single drop of ethanol will take his life. Take care of him, doctor said and headed outside followed by nurse.

Pinky wiped her tears and entered inside to see her son. She suppressed her lips to control her sob seeing her son lying lifelessly. She ran and hide behind the curtain seeing his  moment in shivay's face. Ahh, shivay slowly opened her eyes gaining consious. He stood up in ground holding bed headboard as support,  taking baby steps holding wall he reached wardrobe. He opened the door with trembling hands and took out a vodka bottle from there.
Shivay,  pinky slapped hard on shivay's cheeks. Why are you doing like this shivay? Pinky asked in a low voice having tears in eyes. Shivay opened the bottle and placed it in his lips. Pinky pushed the bottle remembering doctor's words. Wtf, Shivay shouted and looked at Pinky with blood shooted eyes. One second pinky got scared seeing shivay's like this. She closed her eyes hearing his growling sound. He's still can't believe how her son became like this . He was the same man who hesitate to talk looking at his face. She opened her eyes and got angry seeing him trying to lick the alcohol spattered on floor.
Shivay, pinky pulled shivay from there and put door mat in the alcohol.

are you gone mad shivay, why are you doing like this. Doctor said even one drop of alcohol would take off your life. Don't you care about us? What will we do without you? Leave us, at least think about your son who is longing to get  father's love. He's small kid shivay. He needs you. Please try to understand, I know it's hard for you to  digest the Truth that anitha is not in the world, but shivay we have to accept the truth. She's gone try to understand that . She not gonna come if you keep drinking and spoiling your health. Pinky said in tears looking at her son who is starting at her blankly.

I know she can't come here back, but I can go there.
Shivay said looking at Pinky's face without having any kind of emotions on his face.

Shut up. Pinky shouted. I didn't grown you for 30 years let you die. I thought you'll become normal if I let for alone some time, but now I realized that I made a wrong decision. It's been 2 damn years. Shakthi ji, call the alliance broker. Pinky said wiping her tears furiously.

I won't get married again? Shivay shouted. I am doing this for Advik. Pinky answerd and shivay fummed. If you can't take care of him then arrange a caretaker. Why the hell I should marry. Shivay shouted again. Advik wants mom not a nanny! Pinky said and left from there with shakthi making shivay pull his hair in frustration.
