Deepthi pressed the Seventh floor, her hands trembling and her heart beating so fast that she could hear her heartbeat. She sweated including her palm which she faced only when she was so nervous. Tears were rolling down from her eyes and she was crying silently. An immediate sense of regret and fear hit her body so much. Everyone can see the way she fears as she has seen the death. She was cursing herself for everything she spoke that day.
She entered the seventh floor and approached the I.C.U. where she could see many people waiting outside. Her walk slowed and she got goosebumps all over her body. Lost in her thoughts, she was slowly walking to the I.C.U.
Deepthi pov:
"What if someone knew that I was the reason for his condition?
And what if I got fired all of a sudden?
What if he scolded me for everything I did? What if he takes revenge on me?
First, how is he right now? What if he can't live? I must live dying with that burden inside.
I should speak after thinking. I must listen to his side. I should have met him in the first place, then he wouldn't have been suffering like this.
I made a mistake, hope I can correct this. I just wanted to undo everything and it was killing me, whenever I tried to express it was getting worse.
It's over for me. I just want to run away like this."
As Deepthi approached slowly, Vaishnavi noticed her and grabbed her hand.
V: "You know Deepu, Our H.O.D. asked me to present here to observe his condition and report him directly. I think I need to wait for a few more hours, as our seniors didn't come outside, so we were waiting for their reply."
D: "What exactly happened Vaishu?"
V: "Everybody is cooking up a different story here. But it was true that he overdosed on sleeping pills. He took more and more overnight and some are doubting if he was in Coma. The Psychologists already gave their report that he had a disturbing Mental health and needed to attend therapy sessions before he went to the U.S. He ignored it and some are saying that it was accidental ingestion but some are arguing that he was intentionally misused by overtake of those pills. I strongly doubt that he had substance misuse disorder which made him helpless over his actions or emotions and I think that was the fact for his overdose. Vikas told me that after speaking with his friends, they said that he needs some relaxation therapy and we ignored some points last time, but I think he needs some Stretching, JPMR to relax and Physiotherapy to reduce his afflictions."
Deepthi couldn't hear anything after Vaishnavi doubted that he might be in Coma. She froze at that point and couldn't respond to anything physically. Her nervousness and fear increased so much that she didn't even realize when her tears started to fall again.
"Hey, but why are you crying that much?" Vaishnavi asked her and before she could respond to anything, the doctors came outside and spoke to Pankaj and Meena.
She could hear everyone gossiping that his condition was "critical", and "he was in a coma" which is making her unconscious for a while. She finally went to Pankaj and Meena to console them only to realize her parents were also beside them.
"Deepu, you are here. I was about to call you." Rajiv called Deepthi and she sat beside Meena.
"Aunty, don't worry. We are here, Parthiv is going to be fine."
"No Deepthi. The doctors were not sure about his condition and were saying that he might slipped into a coma. They will come to an estimation after a day, I don't know why should we go through all this pain. It would be so great if he got treated properly. He left there unfinished and went through much more pain. I always wish for my family's health, Is it too much to ask for? Why should he suffer this? Why should he deserve this?" Meena was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Just before 2 days, he told us that he would be leaving here for treatment. I thought everything was going smoothly. He even came here to discuss the extensions and plans, but everything turned upside down overnight. Whomsoever the responsible one their happiness, and peace everything should shatter like glass. They never tried to forgive him till this point, that he was living his life as hell."
Her heart felt burdened as it was stopped for a second. She felt it personal and her heart sank in pain and regret. Becoming the reason for someone's destruction is not an easy thing to handle, and seeing his parent's plight, it felt like someone smacked her hard.
She couldn't do anything but pray that he needs to be safe and alive. They all stayed there for the next 24 hours. Deepthi's parents accompanied Parthiv's Parents and Deepthi is constantly checking on his results. It's been 5 hours, the doctors went inside and everyone was waiting outside nervously.
When he finally came, "He narrowly escaped, he was surely lucky. We could see his response to the treatment and he can open his eyes within an hour or two. Please don't disturb him, let him relax and we stitched up his unwrapped wounds, so let him sleep and don't create any emotional scene in front of him that might affect his health."
Everyone felt a sense of relief and Deepthi took a long breath after she came to know that he was alive. She genuinely felt so happy and relieved that she was not going to be the reason for anyone.
