Blessing In Disguise

Part 10

"I told him exactly what you told me to say. "

"Thank you so much for your help Dr Mathur. Just do me one more favour and make sure he never finds out."

A lady chipped on the phone call caressing a picture of a wedded couple.

"Don't worry Mrs. Shekawath but if I may, can I ask why lie to your own son?"

"It was necessary doctor. At least it will ensure that he will not trouble her for a while. And after what happened today, we can't take any risk. Though it was not a severe aasthma attack, everything we said to him was not a complete lie either. She did have a palpitation attack which lead her to a state of panick triggering the asthma attack. And I know my son doctor, he won't stop until he reaches the truth." Renuka Shekawath explained with fear itched on her face.

"Then why don't you just tell him the truth Renuka? I am not just your family doctor but your best friend as well. And as much as I know Randhir, it's not going to end up well if he learns it from someone else." The doctor said eying the duo who looked much engrossed in their conversation.

"If he finds out, he will hate her Shekar. He already hates her without knowing who she is, I wonder what will happen when he finds out the truth. He will go to any length to ruin the poor soul when she is not even at fault. Randhir can maybe forgive but never forget. It will destroy her. It will destroy them! And I won't let that happen."

"You can't hide it from him forever. He is going to find out eventually..one day or another. But it is inevitable that he will. Truth can be hidden but it can't be masked forever."

"Then I don't want that day to ever come."

Renuka feared the future. She feared for her children who were not even aware of the strom approaching them

"I am not going to drink this."

Said a stubborn sanyukta glaring at the bitter gourd juice in his hand while Randhir stood with a grim expression on his face urging her to drink.

"I want to eat pani-puri with chocolate sauce."

Sanyukta demanded ignoring the nurse's attempts to Feed her.

"Who eats pani-puri with chocolate sauce?"

Randhir was astonished at her demands. His week old wife never ceased to amuse him. Even after everything that happened and everything he said to her, she was talking normally as if it was nothing to her. Nobody looking at her would ever believe if he told them that just half an hour ago she laid lifeless in his arms.

"I do! And I want to eat it now."

"This is not a hotel and you are not well, so I suggest you drink it unless you want me to force feed you."

"As if you will. Come a centimeter close to me and I will punch you."

Sanyukta exclaimed showing off her not so visible muscles causing him to roll his eyes. The very next second, he caught hold of her jaw, opened her mouth and emptied the juice in her mouth. Sanyukta gulped the sour drink glaring at him but the very next moment a smile replaced the glare as he forwarded her a ferrero rocher box lighting up her face like a Christmas tree.
