Neha sighed, feeling utterly exhausted. Her day had been filled with endless work-research, patient visits, and preparations for Karthik's surgery scheduled for the next day. She had attended a critical meeting to ensure every necessary arrangement was in place for the procedure. This surgery held immense significance, not just professionally, but especially for her personally.

It had been a long day, and Neha was finally relieved to be done with it. Though tired, she couldn't help but feel a mixture of anticipation and nervousness for what the next day would bring. As she reached the place where she could finally rest, she let out a deep sigh and opened the door, grateful to be where she belonged.

She walked in, smiling softly at the sight of Siddharth and Karthik sprawled out on the bed in Karthik's hospital ward, completely absorbed in the game on Siddharth's phone. Karthik's giggles filled the room, while Siddharth's focus mirrored his, both unaware of her presence. Neha leaned against the door for a moment, her exhaustion momentarily forgotten, as she watched her boys bond, the warmth in her heart outweighing the long day's tiredness.

Aiyo yenna panringa neenga? Mela ponga!

( What are you doing? Go up!)

Dei mela illada keela dhan poganum!

( Not up, we should go down!)

Neha chuckled seeing them argue, her heart feeling a sense of calm. The couple had decided earlier to stay overnight with Karthik both before and after the surgery, ensuring he wouldn't feel alone during such a crucial time. The hospital not only allowed but encouraged parents or guardians to stay with admitted children, especially in cases like this. In fact, the dean had personally proposed this arrangement to Neha and Siddharth, knowing how much it would mean for Karthik to have them by his side. It might make it easier for him to get used to them.

Neha shook her head, smiling at their little moment, and walked over to place her things on the table nearby. The soft sound of her bag hitting the surface caught their attention, and both Siddharth and Karthik looked up at her. Their faces lit up,

Hello doctor amma, nee yeppo vandhae?

( Hello doctor, when did you come?)

Na vandhu romba neram achu. Nee yenna pannitu irukae? Unkitta na avan thunganumnu dhane sonnen?

( I've been here for a very long time, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you that he has to sleep early?)

Neha questioned Siddharth who sheepishly smiled at her while Karthik chortled at him,

Avan dhan ma thookam varala'nu sonnan

( His the one who said that he's not sleepy)

Neha crossed her hands over her chest and looked at her husband,

Oh? Apdhiya?

( Oh, is that so?)

Ama, Karthi nee solra unaku thukam vandhuru-

( Yes, Karthi tell her are slee-)

Siddharth turned back, only to find Karthik pretending to be "asleep," his small chest rising and falling exaggeratedly. His jaw dropped in playful disbelief as he turned to Neha, who was already giving him a teasing glare. A mischievous grin spread across Siddharth's face as an idea sparked. He winked at Neha, silently signaling her to play along with whatever he had in mind.
