MY OTHER HALF

24. The Funeral

Hey everyone,
I hope you all are all fit and fine.First of all I want to say that whatever you're going to read further I don't have any knowledge about it,I searched on Google and based on that information I've written.Another thing,I don't know about the rituals in Hindu culture as I'm Muslim,I started writing this story to dedicate it to my friends.Don't forget to vote.

I decided to give a double updet,so here's the second part.
Enjoy<3

With love

They reached the hospital and Niyati rushed inside the hospital.

"Can you please tell where is Mrs Adhira Mathur?",Niyati asked and Receptionist asked a nurse to guide them.They went there and saw Mr Mathur sitting on the waiting seat.

Niyati rushed to him,"Papa,what happened to mumma?She is fine,she is,right?"

Mr Mathur was crying,Niyati hugged him and patted his back to calm him down.

"Calm down papa.My mumma is so strong, nothing would happened to her, she would get all fine.",Niyati said trying to calm his father but deep inside she,too,was breaking.

"She got a heart attack.",Mr Mathur finally said.Niyati felt week on her knees, she was about to fall but Bhumi caught her.

The nurse came outside,and everyone looked at her with hopeful eyes.

"Who's Niyati here,the patient wants to meet her",She said with no emotions on her face.

"I'm Niyati,can I talk to her?",Niyati asked while breathing heavily.

The nurse nodded and took her in the room, Niyati saw her mother attached to several wires and she felt sting in her heart seeing her like this.

"Mumma,you wanted to see me,right?Look I came.Won't you make tasty dishes for your daughter?But for that you have to get fine.",Niyati said innocently looking at her mother and caressing her hand.

Her mother caressed her face, "Niyati,my baccha, please be happy,always know that your mother's always with you,no matter if I'm alive or not."

"No mumma, don't say such things.I would die without you,you are my lifeline and I would die without it.",Niyati said with tears in her eyes.

"No beta, don't say like that.You are the lioness of your father,who would take care of him if you would get weak?"Her mother said,Niyati kissed her mother's hand.

"Mumma,you have to go home after getting well.So why we are wasting our time on this useless conversations",Niyati said.That's when Mrs Mathur's heartbeat started getting low,Niyati looked at the machine in fury.

Doctors rushed in the room,Niyati was taken out of the room by a nurse.
Niyati hugged her father and started crying,Mr Mathur wanted to act strong but he,too,was breaking from inside.

His every inch was crying for his wife, who was her companion for more than fourty two years.She was the one who was there for her when his father died,when his mother was paralysed.

She was with him when he had nothing,she was with him from high school, they have passed high school together,enjoyed college together,they graduated together,they fought with all the problems together.
