I love you, No Matter What

Morning Sickness

Early, the next morning - Ram kissed her and told her to go back to Meera Ma's and not tell anyone what happened. " I will come meet you in a few hours, and we will go to the psychiatrist and the Gynac together okay".

Priya went home, a little happier and a little content. She went and just hugged a sleeping Pihu and whispered in her ears - "Papa is back".

Pihu, Who was in deep sleep - just turned and said - "Papa, I love you". Unaware that her father loved her and knew who she was.

Priya just Hugged Pihu and tried to imagine her life with another baby - but the pain and Grief and fear just kept resurfacing. She was experiencing too much Anxiety - that before she knew it, She was throwing up in the Bathroom.

Meera got Priya Nimbu Pani and some Ginger candy, Hoping that will ease her stomach. But Priya was not able to keep anything down.

" I forgot about this" Priya thought - Knowing that this was not a stomach bug or just a consequence of her anxiety - But Morning sickness.

In prison she would throw up and then have to go back to work. This was the first time - she was being aided - she was getting time to rest, Recuperate. After lying down for 10 Minutes she again had to rush in to throw up - the door bell rang and Ram was there. He saw that Meera Ma was being formal with him and knew that Priya had not said anything. "Meera Ma, Lovely Kahaan hai?"

"Ram, Uski Tabiyat thodi Kharaab ho rakhi hai, woh shaayad Aaj Kaam pe nahin aa payengi"

"Oh Kya hua, mein usse se Mill sakta hoon?" worry taking over Ram.

Meera Ma was unsure of what to do, Priya was not wearing her Lovely wala look - and would it be okay for Ram to see her?

"Usne kuch baahar se Kha Liya hoga beta, Usko Bus ultiya Ho Rahi Hai, Woh Theek hai, Aap chinta Mat Kariye"

Unaware that Priya was pregnant and that Ram knew about it, She had told Ram something he wanted to be a part of. He wanted to take care of Priya - experience her pregnancy with him. His heart really yearned for this shared experience - But was also filled with Sadness for what this whole thing and the past was doing to her.

Ram was contemplating - Should he tell Meera Ma, he remembers everything.

"Meera ma, Ghar par koi bhi aur hai?" Meera looked around and responded "Nahin, Bus hum hi hai" "Meera ma, Priya kidhar hai?"

Immediate Meeras face broke into tears, Ram calling her Priya was a treat to her ears. She immediately hugged him And cried " Bhagwaan ka Laakh Laakh Shukar hai"

"Kya Priya Jaanti hai?" " han ma, woh Jaanti hai, par app please kissi ko kuchh mat batana. woh Kidhar hai?"

"Room Mein, So Rahi Hai"

Ram enters the Room and only Pihu was on the Bed.

"Priya?" Ram whispered - so as to not wake up Pihu. No response.

Ram slowly knocked on the bathroom door, it was slightly ajar. "Priya?" No response.

Ram opened the door and found Priya on the floor next to toilet, passed out. He rushed in and saw that she was unconscious. He called out "Meera Ma!" He picked her up in his arms and took her to the Bed. Meera Ma entered and seeing Priya in this state was surprised. Pihu woke up because of all this Commotion, and panicked when she saw Priya unconscious - "Mr. Khadoos Mumma ko Kya Hua? Mumma - Please Utho, Mumma!"

Ram tried to comfort his child while handling his unwell wife " Don't worry Pihu, Papa is there na, Nothing will happen to mumma." When ram placed her on the bed and picked up his phone to call Adi for help - he saw there was blood on his arm. He looked at Priya and saw that there was a blood stain collecting near her leg. He knew what this was but just wanted to think about saving Priya right now.

"Meera Ma, I am taking her to the Hospital this very minute, you please be with Pihu"

"Ram, yeh kya ho Raha hai - Priya Kal hi doctor ke paas gayi thi surgery ke followup ke liye, kuch bhi Aisa kaise?"

"Meera Ma, Mein hospital pahuch ke aapko batata Hoon".

Ram scooped Priya up in his arms and rushed her to the emergency room.
