Chapter 22 - Miracle

Chapter Twenty Two:

The doctor stepped out of the operation room, and Ranbir rushed to him, anxiety etched on his face.

Ranbir: "Doctor, doctor! How's Prachi? Is she fine?"
Doctor: "Mr. Kohli, I have good news and bad news to share with you all."

Ranbir: (confused) "What is it, doctor?"
Doctor: "So..."

Ranbir: (impatiently) "What happened?"
Doctor: "The good news is... it's quite miraculous to say that all the babies are safe. The knife wound hit one of the babies, but somehow, a miracle has ensured that they're all okay, although that particular baby is very weak.
But with time, they should be fine."

Dida: "Babies????"
Doctor: "Yes, during the operation we discovered that Prachi is pregnant with triplets!"

Ranbir: (overjoyed) "Really????"
Everyone in the room, including Vikram and Pallavi, was astonished and ecstatic, especially Ranbir.

Doctor: "However, there is some bad news."
Ranbir: "What is it, doctor?"

Doctor: "Due to major complications during the surgery, we couldn't bring Prachi back to consciousness. She has slipped into a coma and has also been paralyzed."
The room fell silent, and everybody was in shock.

Ranbir: (distraught) "What?!"
Doctor: "I'm very sorry to say that complications arose, leading Prachi to slip into a coma as well as paralysis due to the trauma inflicted on her spinal cord. Recovery may take weeks, months, or even years."
Everyone felt despair wash over them as the gravity of the situation sank in.

Doctor: "Please, take good care of her, as her health directly impacts the babies' well-being."
Sid: "Okay, doctor."
Dida: (placing a comforting hand on Ranbir's shoulder) "Ranbir, we'll get through this. Prachi will be okay."

Ranbir: (crying) "Why does this keep happening to us? Our babies are safe, but if something happens to Prachi, I won't survive this!"
Sid: "Ranbir, you have to believe she'll be fine!"

Ranbir turned to Vikram, Pallavi, and Rhea, eyes filled with fury.

Ranbir: "I hope you all took this news as the joyous occasion it is. But let me warn you, if anything happens to her, I won't hesitate to hold you accountable. You're my parents, but if you play a role in her condition, I won't think twice about harming you!"

The three of them looked alarmed as Ranbir stormed away, tears streaming down his face.

Vividha, fueled by anger, approached Rhea and slapped her across the face, causing blood to trickle from her lip.

Rhea: "How dare you?!"
Vividha: "How dare I? You're the most disgusting sister I've ever encountered! What kind of sister celebrates her own sister's misfortune?!"

Rhea: "Vividha..."
Vividha: "Don't you dare speak my name with that vile mouth! You might be reveling in Prachi's coma, but the sister you're belittling is the one who's constantly forgiven you. You consider blood relationships so important, yet you won't even give your blood to save Prachi! She's your twin sister!"

Sid: "Why waste your breath on this selfish person?"

Vividha: "No, Sid! She deserves to hear this. I don't know what wrongs Prachi committed to deserve such a vile sister, and I hope no one else suffers from having a sister like you!"

Dida: "Well said, Vividha. No one should have a daughter like you, Rhea."

Vividha: "Can I ask you something, Rhea? Can you give me your sister, whom you clearly don't care about? Take whatever you want from me-my jewelry, my property-just give me your sister. I promise to treat her like the princess she is. But don't you dare come to her for any rights if you hand her over!"

Rhea was left speechless and shocked as she quickly walked away without responding. Vividha turned her attention to Vikram and Pallavi.

Vividha: "What are you two still doing here? Go run to your darling Rhea, who clearly doesn't value family or relationships. Are you so delighted to hear about Bhabhi's situation? Get out of my sight before I lose my temper even more!"

Vikram and Pallavi exchanged anxious glances, knowing there was no reasoning with Vividha right now.
They slowly backed away and left the room.

Vividha then broke down, tears streaming down her face as she sank into a nearby chair.
Just then, Sid approached her with concern and wrapped her in a tight embrace.

Sid: "It's okay, Vividha. Just let it out."
Vividha: (crying) "Dida, I can't bear to think of losing Bhabhi too. She's my sister in every way that matters."

Dida: "Nothing will happen to Prachi, puttar. She's strong, and she will pull through. She has to survive for all of us."
Sid: "That's right, Vividha. Prachi will be fine. We all believe in her."
The three of them held onto each other tightly, their hearts heavy yet hopeful as they awaited news on Prachi's condition getting better.
