CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR

'Okay fine but how about the way your face when she walks into a room, or the way you flinch every time she is with eehhhmmm. OOhhh and does Ishita also know about the tattoo...'' asked Vidya to which everyone attentively looked at Abhimanyu and the smile he had on his face suddenly disappeared

'Okay we are not here about me, this is about Ishita...'' he said in a bid to change the topic which made Mihika even more curious and she looked at him eyes wide open not believing what Vidya was saying

'Oh My God she is telling the truth isn't it...'' Mihika said

'Mihika enough drop it...'' Said Mrs. Iyer who knew exactly what Vidya was talking about

'Okay then, so now that I think I have managed to convince the skeptics can we now get down to business...'' Said Vidya to which everyone agreed

'Okay then, first things first. Ishita has post traumatic disorder and partial amnesia. She is out of danger but she still feels like she is still in it. She feels she cannot be safe here and also it will be easier when she leaves to go too Mumbai. She wants to go back to Mumbai...'' Said Vidya

'Why does she want to go to Mumbai...'' Said Mr. Bhalla

'Because it is home, somewhere she will feel safe...'' Said Mrs. Iyer defensively

'Actually it is because so she doesn't have to deal with all the chaos of having to explain herself to you all plus YES she does feel safer in Mumbai than here in more ways than one...'' Said Vidya

'What do you mean to explain to us all? Isn't she coming back home...'' Said Mr. Iyer

'Well I said she wants to go back to Mumbai, I never told you she was going to be staying with you. Your daughter in her own way, which is quite impressive by the way, can be very cunning when she wants to be. I do not know how or when but she has somewhere she plans on staying which is not the Iyer house...'' Said Vidya

Wait she wants to disappear and change her identity again doesn't she?'' Said Jai

'Why would she do that? I don't get it. Does she feel we would not take care of her...'' Said Mrs. Iyer

'Am afraid I can't answer that yet...'' Said Vidya

'So how about her! Her health, how is she. Why is she behaving like this...'' asked a desperate Raman

Santosh and Simmi were also sitting in the room but all the while they just kept quiet and kept their opinions to themselves. They really didn't think anyone wanted to know anything about what they had to say any way.

'She has been traumatized, A LOT. Don't mistake the smile on her face and that front she puts up. It is bad even though she does a really good job at hiding it but it will get worse, it will become a problem for her to hide it sooner or later. The nightmares that she has, as bad as they are, they will get worse. For as long as she doesn't deal with whatever is going on they will only worsen.'' Said Vidya

'How do you know all this...'' asked Mrs. Iyer

'It is my job to know Mam. She finds it hard to sleep because she is scared of closing her eyes. She is in the hospital so it helps that someone is always there to monitor her when she gets the sleeping pills. What I am worried about is what will happen if she is alone or around you...'' she said pointing at the Iyers

'What sort of statement of that, Are you saying we cannot take care of our daughter...'' Said Mr. Iyer

'Oh not at all but she knows how to manipulate you pretty well. You will easily give her what she wants because she is good at convincing everyone how amazing she is doing. Did you know she keeps a prescription of sleeping pills under her pillow? She takes 3 valiums to just calm herself down. All this was happening right under your nose and still you did not know because like I said, hiding her emotions she is a master at it. In fact if you didn't know what you're looking for, you wouldn't even know that she does all this.'' Said Vidya
