Abhira Family-Volume 2

Care-IV

Akshara is thinking of different ways to get out of this trauma called 'eating healthy foods'. She knew they were important for our growth and survival but to her taste mattered the most. What to do when she couldn't like their taste? These healthy foods taste so bland, that even a good amount of species cannot make their taste better. It's not like she always eats outside food only. She ate every other food item except green vegetables and pulses. 

"Stop using your small brain. You cannot escape now", Abhi mocked her. He is sitting on the couch going after Akshara's reports. He knew the doctors at Lifeline Hospital had done all the tests but still, he was not convinced by their results. That's why he called the Birla Hospital lab technician to redo all the tests.

"I am not talking to you, Hitler", said Akshara loudly. He looked up from the reports and saw that she was staring at him with anger. Abhi also stares back at her. He would not back down now. This time she was at fault so he would not let her win. Both of them are staring at each other no one is backing down. Suddenly someone knocked on their door. 

Abhira looked at Neil standing at the entrance with the lab technician. "Bhai, the technician has come", announced Neil.

"Okay. Aap samples le lijiye. Hume sare tests krne hai", Abhi said to the lab technician.

"Nhi, mai nhi krva rhi koi test. Abhi us hospital mai mere sare test ho chuke hai, phir ab mai aur koi test nhi krva rhi hoon", declared Akshara.

"Akshu, this is not up for discussion. I know wha pr tumhare test ho chuke hai but mujhe nhi pta ki uss hospital ki labs kitni accurate hai. I don't trust anyone when it comes to you", said Abhi softly. Akshara is happy at least he is not calling her Akshara anymore. But then she remembers they will insert the needle in her body to do the test. She is not ready for that. He knew she was afraid of needles still he was forcing her to redo the tests.

"No, I don't want it. Mujhe pta hai wha ki lab bilkul sahi hai. So, there is no need for tests", said Akshara and she turned her face in another direction. Abhi shook his head. Her temper tantrums had started.

"Akshu, baba look at me. Look here", said Abhi softly and turned her face to his side. "Please mere liye tests krva lo. Mujhe tassali ho jayegi".

"No, Abhi. Mujhe tests nhi karvane. Tumhe pta hai na I'm not too fond of injections. Itne sare test karoge toh itni sari needles ghusaoge meri body mai", whimpered Akshara. She shuddered at the thought of inserting so many needles into her body.

"Akshu tumhara husband ek doctor hai, humari shadi ko 13 saal ho gye hai. Tumhe abhi tak yeh samaj kyun nhi aya ki bahut sare tests karvane ke liye bahut baar needle nhi ghusate hai body mai. Sirf 1 needle hi lagayenge aur samples le lenge. Use zayada ek bhi needle aur nhi ghusayenge. I promise", said Abhi.

"No, tumne last time bhi aisa hi bola tha. Aur itne sare injections lga diye the muje", pouts Akshara.

"Yaad hai mujhe. Itne sare injection lagaye the na", said Abhi mockingly and opened his arms wide to show the number of injections.

"Abhi mera mazak mat udao", said Akshara and hit his chest.

"Waise bhabhi last time toh aap poore ghar mai bhag rhi thi injection lagwane ke time but iss time toh apke pass yeh option bhi nhi hai", said Neil jokingly.

"Aisa kyun keh rhe ho Neil? Mai aaj bhi bhaag sakti hoon", said Akshara forgetting about her condition.

"Haa, kaise bhago gi, yeh batana zara mujhe? Haa, langdi taang se bhagogi toh kuch ho sakta hai", said Abhi while pointing towards her injured leg. Neil snickered but stopped himself when Akshara glared at him.

"Waah, Abhi mujhe nhi pta tha ki tum bhi mere sath aise karoge. Tum ab mera mazak bhi udaoge. Yhi din dekhna baki tha ab. Hey bhagwaan kya din dikha rhe ho tum mujhe", said Akshara dramatically.

"Nhi, baby. I wouldn't dream of making fun of yours. Please don't cry", said Abhi while consoling her. He took her in his embrace. "Please mere liye tests krva lo", he again requested her. This time Akshara agreed to him. 

Abhi instructed the technician to start the procedure. He whispered sweet nothings in her ear while he was taking her samples.

"Owww, owww, owww", shouted Akshara when the needle was inserted in her arm.

"Ho gya baby. Bas! Bas! Shant", said Abhi while patting her back.

"Itna sara khoon. Abhi inhone mera itna sara khoon le liya. Ek toh waise hi mera khoon kam hai inhone aur khoon le liya", Akshara said shockingly when she saw the technician fill 2 tubes with her blood.

"Yeh kuch bhi nhi hai Akshu. Aaj raat tak dobara ban jayega", said Abhi in a calming tone. The technician put a band-aid on her arm after he had taken the sample. 

"Haa, tumhara nhi liya na isilye keh rhe ho. Mera itna sara khoon le liya. Itni sari needles chuba di kyuki mere husband ko kisi par bharosa nhi hai", said Akshara dramatically. Abhi rolled his eyes at his drama queen.

"I want reports by evening", Abhi ordered to the technician.

"Abhi, mujhe bhook lgi hai", said Akshara slowly. She is feeling really tired now. Her body started paining terribly now. Her adrenaline rush came down. She put her head on his arm.

"Maa bas abhi khana lekar aa hi rhi hogi", said Abhi calmly while caressing her hair.

Within 10 minutes whole chillar party came to Abhira's room with Akshu's food. They all settle down on the bed. Akshara looked at all of them sceptically.

"Tum sab yha kya kr rhe ho", asked Akshara.

"Mumma hum sab apki care karenge aaj se. Abhi hum apko khana khilayenge", said Anaira cutely. She tells Abhi to make a bite for Akshu, she will feed her mother with her hands. Abhi did as he was told by his princess. 

"Mumma, say AAA", Anaira forced Akshara to open her mouth. Akshara did the same. Anaira put the food in her mouth. "Now, chew slowly slowly, just like me", Anaira mimicked chewing food in her mouth. Akshara did as she was instructed.

"Eww, yeh kya hai", asked Akshara when she tasted the food.

"Karela, mumma. Yummy hai na yeh. Dida bahut ache karele banate hai", said Abhir. He put the next bite in her mouth.

"Haa, chachi sath mai aap yeh wali vegetable bhi taste kro", said Shivansh and put lauki in her mouth.

"Badi mumma yeh beet root bhi khao", said Roohi and put it in her mouth. 

"Bas, meri tummy full ho gyi ab mai aur nhi kha sakti ab", said Akshu to stop eating this food.

"Nhi mumma you have to finish everything. Warna food wale god angry ho jate hai", said Anaira. She used the same excuse that Akshara used on her. Now, Akshara had no option but to eat whatever they were feeding her. Slowly, the kids fed Akshara everything that was on her plate. 

"Ho gya. See, mumma apne sara khana finish kr diya", Abhir praised his mother.

"Wow, thank you bachon mumma ko khana khilane ke liye. You guys are the best", said Abhi and clapped for them. The kids also clapped for themselves. They are so happy that they are taking care of their favourite person.

"Badi mumma, look mai apke liye kya laya hoon", said Akarsh. He is Neil and Arohi's 3-year-old son. He showed her a small piece of chocolate that he fed her happily.

"Thank you, baby. Tu hi badi mumma ka sacha well wisher hai", Akshara mumbled.

"Well done my army. Apka first task complete ho gya. Ab Akshu ko rest krne do. Phir shaam ko hume apna next task krna hai", said Abhi. The chillar party nodded their heads. Everybody wished Akshara and went out of their room.

Akshara looked at her husband who had a satisfactory smile on his face. He knew now Akshara would not do anything. He had all the kids in his team. They will feed her food whatever he wants and she can't back out from eating it since it would break their little hearts. Akshara would never break their little hearts ever. So, Akshara had to do whatever Abhi wanted. She is doomed.
