ANIKA

I have never seen him like this. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I could see Shankar in full blown tears. I remember mildly as I was finding it very tough to keep my eyes open due to all the mess that got created as my head was bleeding. I fell on my stomach and honestly more than the blood oozing out of my head, there was a fear that engulfed me about my unborn baby. But the moment I saw Shankar I was left speechless. He had a broken shoulder that was not even near to recovery but he immediately removed the belt off his shoulder and threw it away.

My eyes were struggling to be open but seeing the way he carried me in his arms when he's strictly been asked not to carry anything heavy because he's had an angioplasty recently. But today I know why he's been named an Ogre. Because he's a beast. I had seen his rage the other day when he fought Meet all alone without any weapons and smashed him into pulp but today I saw his protective side. Today I saw him as a husband who could go to any extent to protect his wife.

As of now I was lying in the doctor's cabin. Shankar wasn't letting me sit. He was asking me to lie down on the bed whereas the nurse kept assuring him that I was fine but he was not listening to anyone. He had shown so much of tantrums, threatened the nurses, office staff that he'll purchase the hospital and fire everyone. Since last three hours he has been a pain in the hospital staff's ass.

It was midnight and the man wouldn't budge without listening it all from the horse's mouth, well in this case from the doctor's mouth. Phewww!!! Tough nut.

'Mister Nayak!!! Please understand!!!'

'No doctor!!! You understand...she fell on her stomach, her belly...my baby resides there...She is in her second trimester...it could be-'

'Mister Nayak!!! I understand you are concerned but guess what...I'm the doctor here!!! Explain him Kevin!!! I mean I can't explain him in medical terms!!! Huhhh!!!' doctor huffed when Kevin narrowed his eyebrows and sat next to Shankar and said

'Shanky!!! Relax!!! Anika is fine!!! Doctor has checked her reports, sonography is also fine, everything is good...there is no problem at all with her or the baby!!! The head injury also luckily very minor. She's fine!!!'

'But Kevin...she's in her-'

'Shankar!!! Enough!!! And stop this baby in belly ...baby in belly!!! Baby doesn't grow inside the stomach...it grows inside the uterus and the uterus walls are strong....and then she's just stepped into second trimester... ofcourse it could have been riskier if this happened much later and if she hit onto something. The impact was more towards her head than her fetus. So calm down and stop panicking everyone for God's sake.' Kevin whisper yelled at Shankar who looked scared beyond death right now. I kept looking at him as I tried to get up from the bed when he shouted

'I said lie down!!!' but the doctor interrupted saying

'Not required Mister Nayak!!! Infact I'd say take her home. Let her rest at home but there is really no need of her spending the night at the hospital.' when I rolled my eyes and sat up slowly on the bed when Kevin helped me and I finally sat on the chair next to Shankar.

He said nothing but then suddenly doctor said
'Although she and the baby are fine. We did her general checkups, we discovered that both her blood pressure is slightly on the higher side as well as her sugar levels. I understand the blood pressure spiked could be due to all the panicky situation but the blood sugar levels are not normal, infact... she's pre-diabetic!!!' said the doctor. Both Shankar and I were shocked.
