The Journey from Ms. Sharma to Mrs. Who [✓]

Chapter 8-Edited

Chinmayi's POV:

"Bade-papa" , spoke Anirudh after a long pause, "Jo hogaya so hogaya. Aap hi kahte hai naa, sukh aur dukh jeevan ka swabhaav hai aur hum Bhagwaan kho hi sahaara maankar iss paristhithi se bhaahar aana hai. Please do not worry, Bade-Papa. Dr. Joshi is an extremely experienced doctor and Dr. Eeshwar, even though he's an intern, he is good too.  Everything will definitely be fine. It's all a play of time."

Anirudh was right. It has happened and we have to face it. We cannot delude away with the sway of emotions and tears. We have to stay positive and trust in doctors and of course God.

"Aap log bhi aayiye, mein khaana parosthi hun."

"Nahi nahi Chinmayi, mujhe nahi chahiye. Thum Anirudh ko kilaao."

"Bhai, abhi abhi Anirudh ne bhataaya naa, woh teek hi kah rahaa hai... hame dheeraj rakhna hai, sab teek ho jayega. Ab aap khaana ko manaa math kijiye", papa told bade papa.

As everybody, now obediently sat for dinner in the visitor's room, I served the remaining chappathi and daal. This is what is the best in our family, when one falls, the other stands right beside to hold us all together. We share everything with each other, be it happiness or sorrow. And most importantly, this is what that has actually carved the "us" in us overcoming fears and molding the betterment.

I never knew that I could face the hospital scenario or curb the emotional side in me. But, it did happen and I was, along with my family, saw a dime of hope with respect to Bhai and Bhaabhi.

Veera's POV: 

It's almost been a week since the incident occurred in our family.It was definitely the darkest days in the Sharma Mansion. Somehow I held myself responsible for this. But, Charan, Chinmayi, Papaji , Anirudh and Chaachi kept telling me that this was unpredictable and fate and I had no role to play.

Diya and Bhai were recovering, both of them were still in the hospital. Dr. Joshi suggested two months of bed rest for Bhai, considering his condition and for Diya, she had to undergo a small surgery and yes, she will be completely cured in a month.

Diya's parents and my family kept visiting the hospital every day. Ma became weaker and duller after seeing what had happened to her son and daughter in law. Chinmayi was of major help, considering the fact that she was an extremely emotional person, she threw her fears away and stood like a pillar.

She took the role of an elder sister for me and made sure I was physically and emotionally fine. She shuttled from hospital to home and vice versa so that Chaachi can take care of the family.

Anirudh too was of great help, especially taking responsibilities from Charan's shoulders, he was the one who paid the bills and bought the medicines. 

Charan's got his last exam today and he told me that Megha was the one who made sure that he did well. Charan meekly confessed about Megha when he was trying to console me. She is Chinmayi's best friend and our neighbor. We've watched that girl grow and become what she is today, a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul, Charan will be safe and happy with her. 

I took 2 weeks of leave from office and asked them to pause on the whole transfer thing. The company being extremely cooperative, understood my situation and approved to wait. 

Dr. Eeshwar Joshi, who did his M.S, is interning in this hospital, under his father, is Diya's doctor. He again, was the one who counselled me to steadiness of mind. I usually never talk to anyone, and I am an introvert by nature, but with Dr. Eeshwar, somehow, I felt that he easily understood my silence.
