"It's Lucas." Priyanka said with her horrified face.
"What?" Gauri said as her face fell immediately and her heartbeat once again raced.
"I..I just got a call from Caroline. She said you were not picking up your phone. Lucas is having seizures again. It's serious." Priyanka informed and Gauri sprinted in her room to look for her phone.
"Shit!" Gauri cursed as she saw copious missed calls from Lucas and Caroline's phone.
"He was fine yesterday. I was talking to him and- and he was saying he was fine. He was okay, Priyanka. This can't be happening." Gauri said, panicking. Her voice trembled and her hands were shaking a bit. Thoughts running through her mind of what might be happening back in LA.
"I need to talk to Caroline. I need to talk to her." Gauri said unlocking her phone to call Caroline.
Omkara stood there with a horrified face. He was shocked to see the amount of panic Gauri was going through right now. He had never seen her so shook and tense before. He had no idea of how to react, but he knew he had to comfort her.
"Care, how is Luke? Have you called 911? Are you alright?" Gauri questioned Caroline whose cries could be heard even though the phone that was not on speaker.
"Okay, please don't worry. It's going to be fine honey, alright? It's gonna be fine. Can you please put the doctors on the line?" Gauri spoke trying her best to comfort Caroline who had no idea what was wrong with her only parent.
After Gauri was done talking to the doctors, she came back to where Omkara and Priyanka were standing waiting to listen to what Gauri had to say.
"I have to go back to LA." Gauri announced and Omkara's face fell pale.
It was his second and last chance to make it up to Gauri for his mistakes. Gauri going to LA was not going to help him at all.
"Gauri, how can you go to LA?" Om mumbled, not able to voice his thoughts.
"I need to look for the closest flight to LA." Gauri said as she walked back to her wardrobe and pulled out her laptop.
"Pack your bags, I'll look for the flight." Priyanka suggested to which Gauri agreed in a second and started with the process while Om stood there dumbfounded.
Gauri sprinted across the room, as she collected the most necessary things she needed to fly back to LA.
"Damn it! There is no flight!" Priyanka said annoyed as she was not able to find any flight that would take Gauri back to LA the earliest.
"Gauri you cannot go back." Om finally spoke, but his voice was still low.
"Huh? You said something?" Gauri asked as she heard him mumble something.
"I said, you cannot go back. There are no flights, how will you get there? And his daughter is there with him; and- and Priyanka's wedding! You were here for the wedding, how can you leave that?" Om said, trying to make her stay; giving her reasons that did not really matter right now.
An already panicked Gauri's fuse went off as she heard Omkara's words. Her nerves hit rock bottom with anger.
"What is wrong with you? You want me to stay here and enjoy a wedding while a 14 year old makes a decision whether her father should live or not?" Gauri asked with bloodshot eyes and Om, for the first time saw how angry she was at him.
"Gauri, you care about Lucas, but what about me? What about my second chance?" Om fought back, he very well knew he was being the most selfish ass.
Gauri's anger had no limits now, she never knew Om would become this selfish.
