The trail and error of life

Chapter 19

Amyra's POV

"I'm really sorry my child, you've had a miscarriage" The doctor pronounced which I already knew deep down but it was after hearing that, I realised how much I didn't want it to be true. "Doctor, are you sure? Maybe it is some kind of misunderstanding!" Mami Ji spoke restlessly as she stood beside the bed I was lying on. "I understand how you feel but it is true. You yourself saw her falling off the stairs right? She's been bleeding for the past three hours. Even if that's not convincing, I did an ultrasound and I'm really sorry that you have to go through this" The doctor said and I watched Mami Ji shift in her seat. Despite my hesitance, she was the one who dragged me to the hospital and I was stupid to think it was for my well-being. Did she only care about the child? "You can rest here for a while and then leave. Since it happened at such an early stage, you'd most probably only have bleeding for a few hours and you should be able to recover in two or three weeks..physically but mentally, I need you to be strong and believe in God. I have prescribed you a painkiller in case the pain persists. Everything will be alright. Take good rest" The doctor advised and she left the observatory ward. I didn't really respond to that. "I'll be back" Mami Ji said not meeting my eyes and then she left. It felt like more than an hour before I had to change my pad again. The bleeding was reducing and so was the cramps. As the physical pain started subsiding, my mind started functioning again, making me restless. I just want to be alone! Away from people. I glanced at the clock to find It read '7:00AM'. I want to leave this place! I can't be around Mami Ji anymore! Though she has been a good person, for some reason I can't stand her anymore. Every time I see her, I can only see her son and what he did to me and my child. I don't want to go back to that house! Where can I be alone at this time? I don't want to talk to Dhrithi at the moment. I want to be alone. Suddenly what seemed like the best option popped into my head. I fixed my hijab and pulled the IV pumping glucose onto my body off of my hand making it spurt blood from my hands. I grabbed a cotton ball from the side table and pressed it to the bleeding spot as I made my way out of the ward and out of the hospital and hopefully out of this life.

Ayaan's POV

"I know I promised but it's only half an hour. I forgot something important at the office, I'll be back as soon as I grab it" I reasoned as I walked out of the elevator. "What half an hour? And why do you need this stuff after all huh? You always do this Ayaan! You say you are taking a day off to be with me and then end up working all day at home!" Ammi complained and I chuckled hearing her whines as I swiped into the office bay. "I swear it's for a meeting tomorrow. Promise, I won't work on it until you are asleep" I promised rolling my eyes at her antics when all of a sudden something caught my eyes. "Ammi I'll call you back later" I spoke before ending the call and I walked towards the end of the bay. The closer I got, the more I was able to realise it was a person crouched on the ground, hands wrapped around the person's shine. "Amyra?" I called, not sure if it was her and even more doubtful about why she would even be here. She quickly looked up, startled and I could see she was crying for a long time as her entire face was red and puffed. She looked surprised and baffled as she looked at me and then shifted uncomfortably on the carpeted floor. "Amyra? Are you alright? What are you doing here?" I asked as I kneeled down before her. "Amyra, Are you okay? Did something happen? Are you okay?" I repeated myself as I felt myself panic and I couldn't control myself. I looked into her eyes and the very moment, she burst into tears making me frown. "You are scaring me. Please tell me what happened?" I asked again and I watched her hand travel to her belly as she cried hysterically. "...the..be..baby.." That was all she managed to say before she crashed into me crying. It dawned on me what she was trying to say. This should be his doing as well. Even if it isn't, this is all caused by that scoundrel anyway. I hesitantly placed my arms on her shoulder as she clutched onto my t-shirt, whimpering. "Shh.. it is okay" I tried to console her but I was too scared to do anything. She felt so fragile in every sense and I don't know how to handle someone in this situation. It must have been a few minutes before she pulled back abruptly. "I..I'm Sorry..so sorry.. I didn't m..mean-" "No..It is okay.. I mean everything will be okay" I cut off her whimpering, blabbering self, not sure if it was the right thing to say but it seemed to be as she looked at me intently and then composed herself. "Does it hurt?" I asked her and she nodded, looking down at her hands. "Did he do it?" I couldn't restrain myself from crossing my boundaries but I really wanted to know and she slowly nodded again making me clench my jaws and fist. "You are not staying there anymore, Amyra." I stated firmly expecting her to question my right to say something like that but instead, she looked at me and her eyes spoke something I couldn't decode. I was lost in her eyes for a few seconds and I could see she was hurt, depressed and exhausted. I quickly looked away. "I'll call Dhrithi and ask her to set things up at Hannah and Kevin's place for the time being. You would get some privacy there. Do you have your phone on you?" I asked her and she nodded a 'No', still looking at me flustered. "We'll get your things out of his place soon but right now what you need is rest. Dhrithi will cook up a story for Hannah and Kevin so you don't have to worry-" "Ayaan?" I was stopped by her feeble voice. "Huh?" I answered taken aback by the way she called me. "I am scared" She muttered looking right into my eyes and it was at that moment I realised I cared for this girl more than I should, against my will.
