Doctor : I have been friends with your father since our college days, and from almost three months he has been coming to the hospital for regular checkups.Isha : In what way do you mean doctor? To none of us, my father ever mentioned this issue.Doctor : Yes, I encouraged him to tell, but he refused to inform anyone since he said there was no treatment for it.Isha : What happened to my dad?Doctor : With only a few months to live, he was in the latter stages of his cancer when he first came for the checkup.Isha : Please tell the truth.Doctor : He's getting close to the end of his days; I'm sorry.
Isha simply walked away from that point on, not even feeling like talking or facing her mother at this point because she isn't ready to face or accept the fact that her father will be dying in a few days, let alone tell anyone about it. She went outside, took a seat on a nearby bench, and began to cry. She didn't cry when she was holding those tears from falling. A little while later, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Recognizing her mother, she quickly wiped away her tears, not wanting to inform her about the situation her dad was in.
Isha : Mom, what are you doing here?Isha's mom : I am trying to find you. Why are you crying like this, and what did the doctor tell you about your father?Isha : Nothing, mama; don't pay attention to it.Isha's mom : just say it.Isha : I can't tell it to you.Isha's mom : say (She said, making her tone sharp and serious.)Isha : Dad hides the fact that he has cancer and he has just a few days left to live.Her mom stood there shocked and speechless.Isha: Mom, please calm down. I will do anything I can to save him.
Isha's mother remained mute as she tried to process the information about her husband that he is dying in a few days. At that moment, the nurse arrived and informed Isha that her father had become counsious and was asking to see his daughter's and wife. After her father became conscious, Isha and her mother went to the room where he was taking rest. Her father appears pale, weak, and completely worn out. When Isha and her mother saw that he was in this position, they went over to stand next to him, and they started crying because they couldn't control their sadness.
Isha's father : Don't cry. I still have some time left, and I want to spend this time with you all happily.With this, they both wiped their tears.Isha : Dad, why did you hide this from us?Isha's father : My time is limited, so I wanted to spend it with you all happily rather than making you all sad.Isha : You could have told, and we could have done something before it's too late.Isha's father : Forget about it. Can we all go on tour?Right then, the doctor came inside.Doctor : You are crazy, man. You are in this situation and still talking about a tour.Isha : Shut up, Vinay. Is this how you talk to your friends and patients?Doctor : Ok, sorry. So where do you want to go?Isha's father : I always wanted to go to Kashi, and what time can be better than this? I want to stay there now.Doctor : Ok, I will talk to doctors there and arrange everything.Isha's father : Shut up, man. Who wants a doctor? I don't care about how long I live, but how I live.Doctor : Ok, your wish and...goodbye (doctor left)Isha's father : Where is Ayesha?Isha : Still didn't tell her.Isha's father : Ok, promise me one thing, you both.Isha : About what, dad?Isha's mother : Please tellIsha's father: hide it from her, and we will be leaving for Kashi tomorrow; it's my last wish. Isha : Ok, daddy will do it for you.Isha's mother : okIsha's father : Let's go home now.Isha : But doctors have to give permission.Isha's father : He is my friend, and he won't say no.Isha : Ok, I will go and talk to the doctor (Isha went to the doctor's cabin).Isha : Dad wants to go home now.Doctor : Yeah, take him, fulfill his last wish, and keep him happy.Isha : Okay, doctor.
