THEY SAY LOVE HEALS ALL WOUNDS BUT DOES IT?

CHAPTER NINE

When Preeta opened her eyes for the first time in six months; she felt agitated and confused. She didn't know what was happening or why there were people around her wearing lab coats and talking things she was understanding. Before she had opened her eyes she had heard someone talk to her so emotionally that she found herself crying and even heard him shout "she's awake" and now she must think she was dreaming about it.

The doctors around her were checking her vitals to see if she doesn't have any brain damage especially after spending a lot of time in a coma state. To say that they were surprised would be an underestimate. Her organs were functioning well as well as her brain. Usually there are some cases were coma patients suffer from brain damage and to some it doesn't but with Preeta's case it's really a miracle.

"We should do a scan and see how the unborn babies are doing", Preeta heard one of doctors say and was surprised

"Babies?" She asked confusedly and worriedly at the same time.

She looked and touched on her now big stomach and realized that she was in deed pregnant.

"You been in coma for six months and the time you were brought here, you were only a few weeks pregnant. What do you remember Ms. Preeta".

Preeta looked at the doctor as she tried to remember everything and she couldn't hold back tears as remembered everything. Her wedding, Karan's betrayal and mother's death were too painful to remember that she started breathing heavily and the doctor had to give her an injection that calmed her and made her sleep again.

"She will be awake in a few hours, however they are still tests that I wanna carry out. I want them to be ready by the time she wakes up", one of the doctors said as they left Preeta's room.

When Karan was asked to stay outside; he wasn't happy about it. He wanted to see and be there when Preeta fully opened her eyes but he understood that he will only be in the doctor's way of treating Preeta.
He stayed behind but he was feeling so many emotions at the stay time. He felt happy that she was finally out of coma; excited because he couldn't wait to see her, afraid because he didn't know what her reaction will be upon seeing his face. He was pessing here and there waiting for the doctors to come out and tell him what was happening. Time passed and he was becoming impatient so he went and knocked on the door. The doctors told him to wait outside. He became frastuated and instead sat down to wait.

After sometime, the doctors came out; he ran to them like a mad man and asked them how she was doing?

"She's out of coma but you still can't see her now?"

"Why?"

"We sedated her, so she won't wake up till later hours. And Mr. Luthra you need to go home freshen up and get some rest; you've been here since last night, you wouldn't want us to admit; would you?".

"But I have....

"No but just go away"

After so much pleading from the doctor he agreed to go back but not before making the doctor promise that he calls him as soon as she was wake.

For the first time in six months, the Luthras witnessed Karan's smile. It was odd so they asked him to share with them why he was happy.

"Mum, Preeta woke up today. She's out of coma".

Everyone smiled and become happy after hearing about the news.

"That's the greatest news we've had in a while".

"How is she doing?. Did you talk to her?".

Karan became sad instead and told them he didn't talk to her
