After a long pause, Meena started to speak slowly,

"No Deepthi. We have never slept peacefully for the past 7 years. I never thought Parthiv would become like this."

With this tears rolled down her eyes and Deepthi consoled her, 

"Aunty, don't worry. We are here to treat him. Parthiv is going to be alright for sure."

"We took him to many specialists including other countries Deepthi, but they couldn't treat him completely. 

Since you didn't know I will tell you, but please don't ask about this in front of him. He is frustrated whenever someone talks about that before him." Deepthi nodded as a promise to which Meena started,

"Back then, it was the time when you came for your educational support and we came to know that there was a girl he liked. So he was trying to meet her constantly, but we couldn't get any information regarding that.

 He kept that secret and didn't know what happened, but he came home so sick one fine morning. I didn't even know that he came here while I was doing Pooja. After a few hours, Pankaj called me and I was flustered. 

When I was about to enter the room, I heard his voice. He was SOBBING in the bathroom. I could hear this so clearly. I rushed there only to find out that he had almost lost his consciousness. We immediately took him to the hospital after the doctors treated him, and he was discharged after a couple of days. 

That day we realized that he was going through a severe depression. The problem is laid inside him, and the result is displayed outside.

From that day, we both tried every possibility to make him normal. He muted himself. No matter how hard we tried, he didn't speak to us and we didn't find the reason.

We took him to many famous Psychiatrists but he didn't open up himself. He just simply sits in the room all day and only comes when he feels to eat and that too occasionally. No one is allowed to enter the room unless it's the family or it is an important issue.

After his father's insistence, he went to work. Pankaj thought at least that would help him, but we came to know that his depression and anger issues are getting worse in the workplace. 

So we brought him back home. Days passed, Months passed, and Years Passed. But he didn't change a bit. I have done every Pooja and conducted every ritual that was been suggested for my son's health and it continued for several years. 

Nothing changed, and we left with a heavy heart of Sorrow and Pain.   

We even enquired about that girl or someone who knows about her just to beg her to be with our son. We came to know that Parthiv kept so secret and never revealed anyone. But we came to know that Jeevan, who worked as his secretary, was aware of this completely.

 We asked him in every possible way, but he refused to answer and he revealed the reason that Parthiv took a promise to not reveal the reason and if so he was going to kill himself. That shocked us to the core as the problem went way beyond what we expected. We know that Parthiv sticks very well to the promise. If he did it, he meant it.

We couldn't tolerate anything worse than this. So, even after knowing this, we couldn't do anything but watch our kid in a devastated position. I am so proud of him, that he took responsibility for his dad's business and tried to take up the inheritance as an elder son but forgot about business, all I prayed was to make him alive

I used to call Harshad, my younger son about his brother's health. We finally insisted Parthiv visit the UK, where Harshad was studying. That was my last hope at least he could heal at his brother's place. Surprisingly, Parthiv immediately accepted, and our happiness knew no bounds that he finally started to make some decisions.

I strongly believe that Parthiv's first priority while making a decision is Harshad, and so is Harshad.  

After 10 months, Harshad updated us that Parthiv was trying to work and he was getting busier day by day. We finally got relieved that he was working on himself to move on from the past. But that happiness didn't last long.

Exactly a year after, Parthiv encountered an ACCIDENT. I have almost fainted and our pain flowed like a river in those unlimited tears. I regretted so much that I had to keep him with me because anything could happen due to his unstable emotions. 

The very first second, I couldn't believe my eyes after I saw him in the hospital bed. The bruises, internal bleeding, and everything that was set up to make him alive were so painful to watch. I shouldn't say this, but his position resembled that he was about to die within 48 hours. He was severely injured and the cause of the accident was two overspeed cars bumped into each other. Then I realized that he didn't move on, he was trying to keep the anger on himself to destroy.  

 Dont know what he was concerned about, but we took more than him as parents. I wish that girl could understand this. I never expected that a family of well-known and socially respected family honor would fall down because of my son's health and we never care about that anyway leastly not more than his well-being, but many spread false rumors about the entire family's reputation and they even humiliated our father in law, we still accepted them. 

He was kept under observation to check if he was able to survive or not, if his health was stable, then he must undergo some bunch of surgeries. Never, even in my nightmare, I could see Parthiv like that. I regretted so much for sending him, he almost brought that to his life. I didn't know if he intentionally hit the other car, but his emotional imbalance made him drive like crazy.

After a week, the doctors told us that he slipped into a coma, so the condition got WORSE. They told us to not keep any hopes of the treatment. That day, my heart shredded like pieces. I prayed god, to take my life instead of him. Those days were so numb, I didn't know how it went. 

But god finally blessed us, that he was finally recovering and after 3 months he was finally made prepared for the surgeries. He initially refused any surgeries after he gained consciousness, and he was so stubborn in that decision even after we tried to convince him. I begged to enter the operation theatre, cause I couldn't convince him anymore but I couldn't leave him like that. 

This time, he finally listened to my words and accepted the surgery. This sequence continued for another couple of years something like that. After every surgery, they gave him a relaxing and healing period of 1-3 months depending on the type of surgery. His body was completely restructured after 2 years because of the accident that happened in 2 minutes.

He requested that he wished to stay in India as it's getting boring. After testing, the doctor told us that he was going to sit by himself very soon and would be going to heal. I still remember that day, finally Parth was going to become normal after so many years, and thanked god for bringing back my child. 

But after returning back here, he is getting some issues and as his immunity was weak, it's getting difficult for him to adjust. I planned to take him back there, but as always he insisted on staying here and if anything got serious, he would be going back.   

I am saying this so that you can keep this in mind while treating him. He might behave rudely with you, but for us, it's his life. I am satisfied with the fact that he is alive and I don't need anything else. We apologize on behalf of him, but please don't yell at him. I fear what he might do, and if anything is bothering you so much due to my son, please express it freely. I will try to find other ways to sort it out. 

I am requesting you, Deepthi, it's his life. Please try to be gentle with him, not you, but everyone. We want him to be alive nothing else and Inform to everyone to stay calm while treating him. And a very important thing please don't expose this to anyone, it's a very private issue and it must not cause any consecutive problems to the hospital. 

I am telling you this since you are well known to our family and I felt so much better."
