Healing The Broken Hearts

5.

Kabir POV

I left Ritvik in the car and asked him not to come out because I don't know why dad called me so I don't want Ritvik to meet him right now.

I entered in the hospital and asked the receptionist about Shekhar Singhaniya. She told me he is in ICU on third floor. I know I hate that man but I got scared for once after knowing that he is in ICU.
I quickly went there and when I went inside the ICU, I saw that the doctor was telling dad that you have very little time. Why? What happened to him? I could not stop myself from asking the doctor

"Excuse me doctor"

They both looked at me. I looked at dad. He was looking very weak, his face was looking paler and I couldn't see him this miserable. I hate him but his condition was affecting me more than I expected. My heart wanted assurance that he is fine.

"Ka..Kabir" Dad called me, I wanted to run to him but I haven't forgotten what he did to us. I was worried for him but he had lost the feeling of concern from me. I made a stern face and went near him and asked the doctor
"Is he alright doctor?"

There was silence for few moments then the doctor said
"He is not and he has just few hours left"

"What? Why so suddenly? Is he suffering from any disease? Is there not any cure for it?" I couldn't stop myself from asking about him. I know..I know I hate him but he is still my father and I don't want him to die.

"Relax Mr Singhaniya I know it is a critical situation but listen to him. He have something to say to you" The doctor put his hand on my shoulder and said this.

"He met with an accident while coming back to Pune.When he reached hospital we saw that there was no major accident but he was not regaining consciousness. We did a full body checkup and found out that he had an internal head injury. We don't have any cure for it. His brain will stop working. He wanted to say something to you please listen to him and don't give him any stress." Saying this the doctor left from there.

I turned towards my dad and looked at him. For the second time in my life I'm again feeling this helplessness. I want to save him but I can't do anything. He gesture me to come to him. I went beside him and he hold my hand as if he doesn't want me to leave him again. I sat beside him and my eyes got teary seeing him like this.

"Ka..Kabir" he said in a whispering voice.

"Ji dad" I hold his hand with my other hand and kissed it. A tear rolled down my cheek.

Author's POV

"Beta mai tumse maafi nahi manguga.. because I know you can't forgive me...Mai tumhari maafi deserve bhi nahi karta...I know I have been the worst father and...a...a... sorry is nothing for all that pain you had because of me. I'm regretting leaving you all like that" Shekhar said with guilt and regret.

"Dad I don't want to talk about all of this..." Kabir said as he was getting flashbacks of all those moments when he needed his father the most but he was not there. He remembered his mother dying because of his father and he can never forgive him.

"Please beta... I'm dying... Please let me speak" Shekhar said with tears in his eyes.

Kabir could not see his father pleading to him like this, he hold Shekhar's hand to give him assurance that he is listening to him.

"You know I have two daughters, they are angels. I know I have bee worst father to my sons. But still god blessed me with two daughters. I'm leaving this world and I'm scared for them. I'm more scared for Ayra, she is the elder one. Because Myra, the younger one have Ayra, but Ayra doesn't have anybody. After her mother died she has just become Myra's didu. She thinks of Myra before herself. I...I'm scared fo..for her" Shekhar said crying.

Kabir didn't know that Shivani was dead. After listening to his dad's words he had an idea where the conversation is going and he will not do that if his s dad ask him to do that. He can't.

Shekhar hold Kabir's hand with his both hands.
"Please beta... please take their responsibi..."

"No dad" he freed his hand from his dad's grip.

"I can't do this and I won't do this...what do you think of yourself? You left us alone, mom died because of you, you snatched our happiness and today when you are on death bed you are asking me to take your daughters' responsibility. You are nobody to me and I hate you. Where were you when mom died? Where were you when you should have taken our responsibility? Ohh...you must be busy making your happy family" Kabir spatted.

Shekhar joined his hands and begged his son
"Beta please...I beg you... please take their responsibility. I can't trust anybody but you. I know I have made you suffer so much but I don't want them the same happening to them. Please...please...please"

Kabir could not see his father begging to him like this but he was sure he won't do what his father was asking. He himself don't want the girls to feel the same that he and his brothers felt growing up.

"Don't you have anyone else? Any relative? Any friend? Anybody?" Kabir said calmly.

"I can't trust anybody else with my daughters Kabir, you are my only hope for them" Shekhar said

"I will take their responsibility dad but I can't never forgive you and will always hate you dad" Kabir said with tears in his eyes.

"Dad" Someone said from behind.
