The Fault In Our Stars

19:)

19. Falling out of love.

"I- what hospital?", Avneet asked hurriedly. She was loosing her mind. Her poor baby must be so scared.

"HOSPITAL?", Siddharth exclaimed with wide eyes. "What happened to Ishaan?", he asked as soon as he heard Avneet's panicked voice and the word 'hospital'.

Avneet's gaze flickered to him for a moment before she was nodding into the phone. "Don't worry. I'm coming.", she said in a hoarse voice, "It might take some time though." Because they were still at a lot of distance from the apartment.

She then turned to Siddharth after ending the call.

"Ishaan fainted because of the fever-"

"WHAT?!", Siddharth literally shouted startling Avneet, "Is he okay? How's he now? No..actually, where? Which hospital?!", he asked hurriedly.

Avneet sighed, shaking her head. "He's okay now.", she told him before turning her head to face the driver.

"Can we drive faster? I need to be somewhere soon.", she requested him, almost pleading. She just wanted to fly to the hospital, if possible.

She can't though. Obviously.

The driver nodded, in understanding and asked her, " Of course, ma'am.", he said, "Which hospital?"

Avneet glanced at Siddharth who quickly checked his watch out.

He said he had important work at home.

She shook her head at the driver.

She could've taken a cab but no, they were kinda on the outskirts of the city right now.

"Um.. No, to the apartment. I'll go to the hospital myself." Out of the corner of her eyes she could feel Siddharth frown. "Sid has some work at home too. Just-"

Siddharth latched his arm around her arm and pulled her back so she was sitting on the seat properly. "Stop being stupid.", he gritted his teeth.

"Ishaan is ill, Avneet. We are going to the hospital. Right now.", he told her.

We?

"What?", Avneet looked at him a bit startled. "What will you do in the hospital? Just go home, I'll go see him."

Siddharth clenched his jaw.

"You think I'll be able to concentrate on my work after knowing that my baby is in the hospital?", he asked, frowning. "Don't argue. I'm coming along.", he declared.

Avneet almost blanched at two things. She wanted to push Siddharth out of the moving car.

'Not being able to concentrate!' 'My baby?'

What the fuck is wrong with you?  She wanted to scream on his face.

See, that's what she was worried about. Siddharth can't get so attached to Ishaan.

But he did get attached.

God dammit. She should've requested the authorities if she could live alone rather than in the company flat.

That's gonna be a threat to her protection but she will save her son and herself from the misery. The bigger one.

Well, at least she would save herself.

Ugh, this has to be done. Otherwise... No, that can't happen.

She is already having a bad feeling that Siddharth will know it somewhat soon and she is fucking terrified.
