Contract Marriage ✅️

Chapter 19

Present time Priyadarshini's POV -
It's been a week I left that house. I am confused that whether I consider myself lucky or not. I lost the man I love with my everything, but got a caring brother in this unknown country who supported me like me own brother. I am just in an unknown turmoil. But one thing that's strange happening is I can feel someone is always around me. Like I can feel someone's eyes on me wherever I go. I don't know. I just shrug that feeling off. I must be hallucinating. But how's that possible! I mean yeah I was a depression patient but I got my cured. I take my medicines regularly as I am living alone I can't just take risk of my health. I still remember when I first got checked from my doctor here.
**** 6 months ago Priyadarshini's POV ****
Yesterday Mrs. Wilson went to her mansion. I really miss her already as my own mom. I do call her to check if everything is fine with her or not. But from a long time now I also am suffering from headache and that increasing now day by day. I feel only dark around me. Sometimes when the headache goes really bad I throw up or I see black only. Still now it's paining bad. I can not hear voices of my surrounding clearly it's like echoing inside my head. I felt a presence of a person in the room. I spend most of my time in my balcony for fresh air. I thought that might help. But today it's not working as well. I can hear Mr. Wilson's voice inside the room. Maybe he's searching for me. It's already evening. But my headache is only getting worse. I threw up today already 2times. I stood up to go to the washroom as I am again feeling like throwing up but I can't. I suddenly went blank and passed out.
When I opened my eyes I was in the hospital room. It took time for me to adjust my eyes in the room's light. Then I saw Mr. Wilson was still there sitting in the couch sleeping. I was feeling thirsty. My body felt very numb too. Still look around and saw water in the bedside table. My muscles didn't help me. But still I tried to stretch my arm to grab the glass. But I couldn't hold the glass properly and it fell from my hand. That made a loud sound of crashing glass and spilling water. I was beyond embarrassed I a saw Mr. Wilson flinched and wake straight. He saw the broken glass and me awake. He ran near me calling the doctor.
Adonis - When did you wake up? Are you feeling alright?
Priya *somehow talked stuttering weakly* - I am s... Sorry. I... I was thirsty and wanted the water.
Adonis - It's ok Priya... Why didn't you call me?
Priya - You... You were sleeping. I.. I didn't want to distrub you.
Adonis - You can never disturb me. Specifically not in this situation.
Priya - Wh.. What happened to me? How... How am I here?
Adonis - When I came home this evening. Our room was dark. Just a small dim light was on. You were not in the room. I saw you were coming from the balcony stumbling. I asked you what happened but you couldn't answer but then suddenly you just passed out. But before you could hit the ground. I caught you. Then I pick you up and took you here.
He pick me up... Is that mean he pick me up in... Bridal style!!! I couldn't help but blushed a bit. But tried not to show it.
Then the doctors came to check me. Mr. Wilson left as doctors asked him to.
Doctor *after checking her up* - You are physically fine.
Priya - But... What happened doctor? Why can't I... I move my body properly or hold something?
Doctor - It's the effects of the medicine that we had to give you. Strong painkillers and a strong nerve relaxing. Don't worry the effects are not permanent it will wear off in sometime.
Priya - What happened to me?
Doctor - 1stly tell me from how long you are suffering from headache?
Priya - About 3years or more now.
Doctor - Don't mind but anything serious happened to your life? Like any particular incident after which your headache started.
Priya *sad* - Yeah. After my father passed away. But the headache started many times after that incident. Why are you asking?
Doctor - We can recommend a very well known psychiatrist. Cause you are physically fine. But when we ran a MRI on you though you were not in your senses your brain was hyperly active. Which was causing you more pains. You were passed out but still groaning a bit in pain. That's why we had to give you strong medicines. Even sedatives couldn't calm your brain down. We are guessing you are suffering from depression. But as it's remain unattended it's paining you now. So we suggest to immediately get help. Otherwise it could get worse and can do physical damages. Mr. Wilson here was very caring. He was here awake all night by your side. Don't worry Mrs. Wilson with the help of psychiatric consultation and a caring and loving husband like him by your side you will be just fine. Take rest. You are good to go home. After an hour or so. Your side effects of the medicine will start to fade. You will feel better. We now will take leave.
After the doctor went out I was lost. I couldn't process that much info at once. So I was suffering from depression all this time? I thought it's some normal headache or migraine maybe. I didn't care. Then I chuckled thinking when  the hell in my life I cared for myself! I couldn't thought getting numb would lead me to this situation. I am so embarrassed thinking for me Mr. Wilson now had to suffer. If I would knew about my condition. I would never agree to come here with him. I don't want him to get in trouble for me like this.
I started think the girl I was when my father was alive. For my parents and teachers I was a goodie two shoes. But for others. They used to fear me. Nobody wanted to mess with me be it a boy or a girl. And my mouth was a foul. I never used to call my best friend by her name. It's always any abusive word in our language. She was same. But then my life took a 180° turn and I became fully silent and a dutiful person. Never cried. Never felt anything. When I felt. It's when my eyes fell on Adonis. My heart started to beat. But then again. The tag of "Mrs. Wilson" is just in paper and a temporary one. Can't I just be happy in my life ever? Will this day ever come in my life when I will be happy. I forgot the feeling of being happy.
I was lost in my thoughts. When Mr. Wilson came. He sat beside me.
Adonis - Don't worry everything will be all right.
Priya *worried* - Did you inform Mrs. Wilson? Stress is not good for her. Please don't inform her about me.
Mrs. Wilson *opening the door* - Why can't a mother take care of a daughter in her problem? A daughter can?
Priya *embarrassed * - No no. I didn't mean it Mrs. Wilson. But I was worried about your health. It's not good for you to take stress.
Mrs. Wilson - I am a single parent Priya. I can handle myself well in stressed situation. Don't worry. Before I was a mother of one. Now I am the mother of two. I worry for you equally dear. Take rest and close your eyes. We are here for you. You will be home and good in no time. I myself will make sure that.
Then she bend down and kissed my forehead. After an hour I sat up slowly. The I got freshen up. The nurse wanted to help me but I said I can do. In the mean time Adonis fulfilled the formalities of my release. Then he took me home.
