Abhira Family-Volume 2

Care-II

Abhi reached the hospital within 20 minutes and was shocked to see his wife in this state. The doctor and the nurse were discussing something standing in her ward. His precious Akshu is wrapped in many bandages. Her head was wrapped in a bandage along with her leg and arm. He immediately rushed to her. He grabbed her hand and whispered her name. "Akshu". But he got no answer from her.

"Who are you?" the doctor asked him.

"She is my wife. Doctor what happened to AKshu", asked Abhi worriedly. 

"Well, the patient has been in an accident. As you can see, she had a hairline fracture in her right hand and her left foot got twisted which resulted in ligament breakage. There was a small cut on her forehead that required stitches", the doctor replied to Abhimanyu. His heart breaks when he hears about his wife. She would be in so much pain. 

"Have you done all the preliminary tests? Like blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid etc", Abhimanyu asked him. The doctor looked at him questionably. How did he know about these preliminary tests?

"I am also a doctor. My name is Dr. Abhimanyu Birla. I am a cardiologist at Birla Hospital", Abhi introduced himself after looking at the confused facial expressions of the doctor and nurse.

"Ohh. I get it now. Well, we did the preliminary test as you know it is mandatory before starting the treatment. But her test results are not good. Her blood sugar level is low. Her blood pressure is low. Her thyroid and cholesterol levels are a little elevated. She is borderline Anaemic Dr. Birla", the doctor announced about the tests like he was scolding Abhi. You are a doctor yourself how did you not look after your wife? 

"Ohhk. What about the accident? How did she get into one in the first place?" asked Abhi.

"I don't know Dr. Birla. There's been a man who took her here", the doctor replied to him.

"Is that person here? I want to talk to that person?" asked Abhi. The doctor asked the nurse to check if this person was there or not. The nurse went to check on that person.

Meanwhile, the doctor tells him about Akshara's condition. She is stable but unconscious from the time they bring her here. Abhi nodded his head. The doctor went from there giving some space to the couple.

"Akshu, kya hai yr? Aise koi krta hai kya? Tumhe pta hai how stressed I am right now? Tumhe itni chot lgi hai. Tumhare test sahi nhi aye hai. Ab mai khilata hoon tumhe Chinese bhel or teekhi chatni ke sath momos. Kitne dino se tum sirf woh and hi kha rhi thi na, Ab se tumhari sari diet mai hi control kroonga. Tumhe woh kadwa karela aur lauki hi khilaoonga ab se", said Abhi to his wife. 

"No, Abhi. Karela nhi", mumbled Akshara.

Abhi immediately looked up and saw his wife awake. He hugged her tightly and tears started flowing from his eyes. 

"Abhi, I am fine", whispered Akshara patting his back to calm him down.

"Haa dikh rha hai mujhe kitni fine ho tum. Fine ho na toh apna right hand hila kr dikhaoo. Are chalo clap hi krke dikha do mujhe", said Abhi sarcastically.

"Abhi, aisey danto mat", said Akshara slowly.

"Ohh, aisey nhi toh kaise daantu. Batao kaise daantu mai tumhe", said Abhi a little loudly. The moment he raised his voice he knew he f*cked up. Akshara started crying loudly. 

"Tum bahut bure ho Abhi. Bahut bure ho tum. Ek mujhe yha dard ho rha hai aur tum ho ki mujhe dant rhe ho", said Akshu while crying.

"Toh tumhe kya mujhe gold medal dena chahiye kya? Akshu all of your test results are bad, in fact, they are pretty bad. Mai kitni baar bolta tha ki yeh bazar ka ganda khana mat khao pr nhi tumhe toh bas whi gand hi khana hai", Abhi scolded her.

"Abhi!!!" exclaimed Akshara.

"What Abhi? Pehle toh batao tumhara accident kaise hua. Tum aaj academy driver ke sath nhi gyi thi kya?" asked Abhi. This question has been swirling in his mind for the past hour.

"Nhi, meri gadi kharab thi. Aur maa ko mandir jana tha toh driver ko le gyi. Mai cab se gyi thi academy. Waapsi mai ate waqt mujhe chakar aa rhe the toh mai side mai baith rhi thi but suddenly ek car aa gyi aur usne mujhe takar mar di. I don't know after that", Akshara told her story to her husband. Abhi's nostrils flared hearing all of this. He is super angry right now. This is the height of carelessness. How could Akshara do this?

"Akshara, mai doctor ke pass jaa rha hoon to know about your discharge", Abhi said to her and immediately got out of her ward. He knew if he stayed in her proximity he would say something to her that he would regret later.

Akshara knew she was in serious trouble when her husband called her with her full name. She also gave him some time to cool down.

After two hours, Akshara was finally discharged from the hospital. He completed all the formalities and paid the bills of the hospital. He called his father and informed him about Akshara's accident. Harsh also reached to the hospital as soon as he heard this news. In all this, Abhi hasn't talked to Akshara even for a minute. She is scared now. Her husband is really angry. 

"Papa, aap Abhi se baat kro na. Woh mujhse baat nhi kr rha hai", Akshu whispered in Harsh's ears.

"Akshu, not now. Tumhe pta hai na that you are wrong in this. Give him some time to cool down", Harsh said the same thing that she already knew.

"Papa", Akshara pouts.

"Akshara Birla, don't pout in front of me. Tumhe pta hai na Abhi ka gussa kaisa hai. Right now, he is very angry. So, use kuch aisa mat kehna jisse woh provoke ho jaye aur gusse mai kuch aisa waisa bol de", Harsh blatantly told her. Akshara nodded her head. 

"We can go now. Sari formalities complete ho gyi hai", said Abhi. He lifted Akshara in his arms to take her home. Akshara wrapped her left arm around his neck and whispered sorry to him but he gave no response to her.

Harsh looked at his kids and shook his head. Who will say that they are the parents of two kids?
