“Mom what happened to her? She is okay right?”

“You don’t worry. She needs some rest that’s it. She will wake up soon.”

“That’s good to hear" said dad.

“By the way Neil are you not supposed to drop her at her house?” Asked mom.

“Actually mom. Let’s go out and speak".

We three left the room and sat outside in the hall. “Now tell us what has happened?”

I slowly explained them everything that happened there in detail.

“What? Are you serious Neil?”

“Yes mom, I couldn’t make Aunty understand. She was not in the state to listen at all. And Ina she became so weak after knowing about her dad”.

“what did Anay and Adi say?” asked dad.

“Anay didn’t even look at her dad. Adi tried to stand by her but aunty didn’t allow him. I was surprised by seeing Anay and Reehan staying silent. Adi and remaining were helpless. But Anay and Reehan could stand by her. She went and hugged Anay but no response. They didn’t even think about what she might be going through. I couldn’t see her in the vulnerable state dad".

“Don’t worry Neil. They will slowly understand her. Let’s give them some time. But remember one thing all she needs now is you by her side. Don’t let her feel lonely. And of course me and your mom will also take care of her".

“Yeah don’t worry we will look after her” said mom.

“Thank you mom and dad”.

“you no need to thank us son. Ina is our daughter and we will take care as her parents okay” said dad.

I took my greatest support pillars to my heart. And it’s so relieving to have them near. They both patted on my back and made me feel ease.

“Now go and stay beside your girl" said mom.

I gave them a smile and left from there. I opened the door slowly to not disturb her. And she was still sleeping. I removed my shoes and walked slowly to the bed and laid beside her. I slide into the blanket and made her head lay on my right arm. Suddenly she moved. I thought I disturbed her but no. She is still sleeping. She faced towards me. And moved closer to me. She is still moving closer inch by inch.

There was no gap left between us and she wrapped her hand around me. I left a little gasp because of the unexpected touch. My face turned into a tomato. No matter how many times she touched me her touch is always special to me. I turned to her and cuddled with her. I was slowly rubbing her back to make her feel warm but then I felt a water droplet on my right arm. I slowly touched her face with my hand and felt it wet. I pulled her close to my body. Her face was touching my chest. And then while patting her head I said “let it out everything that is bothering you. I am with you”.
