Bhargavi was more worried for Akash than surprised, he would been scared of heights ever since they were infants and now he was right in front of her, attempting to get on the roof.

Bhargavi : Akash, what are you doing??,

She asked in a worried tone.

Akash : trying to get on the roof dummy!! 😊 figured I should let go of my fear of height.

Bhargavi : not a good time, I would say!

Bhargavi wasn't new to his, 'let go of your fears' behaviour, but also she knew he would always end hurting himself and quite a few others including Harry. Well for this time it seemed it was her turn. He had only got out the window when she was about to tell him to stop with it, he tipped over the window and fell right in the bushes guarding Mr. Thompsons flower patch next door. Bhargavi shouted for help but no one answered. She had to do something, Akash wasn't moving which got her more worried. She jumped from the roof on the extended gallery to Meera's room and then on the driveway. When she reached Akash, Ethan was already there helping him get out of the bushes. Ethan shouted at her,

Ethan : I need your help!!

She quickly hurried to help him carry Akash, they got into Ethan's car and drove to the Hospital. She had not realised but she was sobbing by now. It was all too shocking for her, Ethan offered her a tissue but she just couldn't think of anything else. But she had to stay in the reality, so she guided him towards the hospital while texting her friends. As soon as they got him to the hospital, their friends had already reached. She was trying to be as strong as she can be, but she lost it when she saw her friends. She began weeping like a child in Meera's arms. While others got help for Akash. They sat in the waiting room, waiting for the doctors to inform them on Akash's condition. Ethan was there too, standing in a corner with a blank face,

Michael : What happened??

Everybody looks at Bhargavi with eyes searching for an explanation. She realises if she doesn't say it now, she might never be able to.

Bhargavi : I was on the roof.....
