Recap & Continuation

As Anu's eyes locked onto someone across the room, her breath caught in her throat. The room began to spin, and her vision blurred. Vikram, sensing something was amiss, rushed to her side gritting his teeth to make her behave, but as soon as he saw her tear filled eyes which flowed freely his heart skipped a beat.

Meanwhile, Anu struggled to make sense of the impossible. She felt like she was losing her grip on reality, like the world around her was spinning out of control.

"Anu, what the fuck was that?" his voice sterned yet it laced with a bit of concern. Anu couldn't respond as she was frozen. Looking at her state he turned towards the crowd who seemingly whispered looking at the situation.

"I'm sorry guys, the meeting has to be put on hold for a moment. Let's take a break. My wife seems to be emotional right now. Let me take care of her and then..." he trailed his voice stammering at the end "Urgh, yeah we shall continue this later" he said as he turned around and took hold of her while walking out of the meeting room, but Anu was obvious of her surroundings. As soon as they were in the hallway away from the crowd, Anu's pent-up emotions exploded.

She let out a blood-curdling scream, her body shaking uncontrollably.

Vikram's eyes widened in alarm as he tried to calm her down, but Anu was beyond consolation.

Suddenly, her knees buckled, making Vikram stumbled on his pace though he caught her, his heart raced with fear and just like that she blacked out making him even more worried.

"What the fuck is wrong with her?" He cursed under his breath while pulling out his phone, he made the calls to the doctor to come to his house.

Before he could start his car, his secretary came running asking about the meeting making Vikram to look dead in his eyes, the poor lad lowered his head mumbling that higher associates are questioning his behaviour.

Closing his eyes, 'fuck' muttering under his breath he hit the steering wheel hard and asked his secretary to cancel the so called meeting.

As if he cares about them, he came out of the car and went to sit beside Anu who was lying lifelessly her face paled even more. He asked his driver to drive the car as he was out of his wit. As they sped through the streets to their home, Vikram asked the driver to get them to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. He couldn't shake off the image of Anu's pale, lifeless face.

He quickly called for medical assistance and rushed her to the hospital.

As soon as they took her to the emergency ward he growled in anger "What happened?" grabbing his hair in frustration. The hospital's fluorescent lights illuminated Vikram's anguish as he paced the emergency room, waiting for news about Anu's condition.

Why did Anu react like that? What triggered her to this?

Vikram's mind swirled with multiple questions, but one thing was certain – he hadn't been there for her when she needed him. His eyes burned with regret, and his fists clenched in anger.
