It's been 48 hours since nandini has been a sleep, she seems like she is peacefully sleeping, her pulse was stable and her temperature was normal but the doctor still cannot say anything.
I have had 4 opinions from 4 different doctors trying to see if everything in her treatment is going okay and all of them say the same exact fucking thing. They keep trying to tell me that there is a chance she won't get up but they don't know her like I do.
"She is doing good" the doctor says as he finishes his 6th assessment on her
"You have said that the past 2 days, the fuck do you mean she is good? When is she going to wake up?"
"Like I had said, im not sure but we are trying our best Mr Malhotra"
"YOUR BEST ISN'T GOOD FUCKING ENOUGH" I yell
"Son I understand what you are going through, trust me I have been there, it feels like shit, pardon my language. She is recovering and I know you don't want to hear that but she is getting better, her temp is down, her blood pressure is back to normal and her pulse is good. She is breathing on her own"
"Then take that off her" I say
"I'd like to keep it on her for now, just in case we need but I assure you she is doing so much better"
'So she will wake up shorty right?"
"All we can do is hope" he says patting my shoulder before he leaves
HOPE!!
Her favourite word is hope, she always made sure I had some of her hope.
FLASHBACK
"Manik" I hear her little voice
"In the office" I yell back
Her timid yet strong steps get louder as she walks up the stairs and into my office, she puts her hands on her hips looking at me
"Yeah?"
"You are grumpy human?" She asks pouting at me
"Im not grumpy at you" I say leaving back into my chair
"What are you grumpy at? You angry?"
"A little" I reply honestly
I don't like lying to her, not because I can't but because she knows exactly when I am trying to lie
"At who?"
"Just a client"
'Why?"
"Full of questions, aren't ya?"
"Always" she giggles nodding
"Come here princess"
She shakes her head giggling at me but eventually walks over to me placing her bag down on the couch
"You look very handsome" she smiles
I wrap my arms around her waist pulling her close to me, I rest my head on her chest as she standing in between my legs
"It's okay, whatever it is will be okay"
i smile in her chest, she always picks up on my emotions without my actual words
"It was a very important deal nandini, the conditions they are putting are difficult but I worked around it"
'So what's the problem?"
"we decided too late, this could've been the biggest deal of our careers"
"Hope"
"Huh?" I mumble pulling back
"Hope manik, when things don't go your way you don't give up"
"giving up is the only option"
"No, giving up means we never cared, we should always have some hope in our hearts, hope that it will go the way we want"
"well I know it won't go the way I want"
"Shh, hope"
"Nandini"
"Mani for me, justhope"
"thats stupid"
"Shhhh"
"Princess"
"Hope is riveting, hope is the only way we stay positive"
"Hope" I whisper
She hums kissing my cheeks
"Hope my darling" I laugh hearing her
FLASHBACK OVER
Hope, I am not going to stop hoping, I know she will be okay.
"Here have some food" navya says touching my hair
"Stop touching my hair" I mumble
My eyes move from Nandini's face to her hand when I feel her moving her hand, thinking I am imagining it, I don't say anything until she wiggles her fingers again
"Cabir oh my god, look look she is waking up" I mumble shopping her
She wiggles her hand again
"You see that right?" I ask
"I see, let me go call the doctor" he says running out the door
"Wake up soon my princess" I mumble getting up and kissing her head
"Come on wake up kid, we gotta take scooby on a walk" navya says
"Is she waking up?" I hear the doctor and instantly got up
"Yeah she is" I say
He checks her and while he was doing the assessment, she groaned in pain
"Nandini" all three of us call
"Argh" she groans
"Fuck" I whisper
It was almost like a breath of fresh air for me, her voice, her groan though it is full of pain I feel like I can breath again.
The doctor yells for nurses so they could help nandini sit up and I quietly exit the room walking straight to her god
"Thank you, I owe you my life" I whisper bending my head down in front of her god
"Manik she, she is asking for you" navya says when I step out of the mandir
"Is hse okay?"
'She is fine, her vitals are great but they are going to keep her here for a bit"
"what's a bit?" I ask
"A week, her wounds need to heal a bit"
"What even happened"
"She was walking to the park and the driver was going at 100 km/h"
"WHO THE FUCK WAS IT?"
"Not sure but doesn't matter, it was her fault, she wasn't looking where she was going"
"Fucking hell, what the fuck is even up with her, why can't she fucking pay attention"
'Ask her" she mumbles
Shaking my head I storm into the room but all my anger disappears the second I walk in he room.
She was sitting up resting her back on a pillow pouting at the nurse who was trying to feed her something
"Come on"
She shakes her head at her nurse pouting like a kid
"Give her the most disgusting thing you can find" I whisper trying not to cry seeing her
