It's their love story

Chapter 12 - Crash

Blood, blood, and blood.

Red, red and reddish.

Blood stains splashed.

Blood stains all over the bathroom sink.

Vivesh was in the middle of an important office meeting.  He usually doesn't get a call from home when he is in office except for lunchtime. He got a call from home. He understood there is some emergency and that's why he got the call. He excused himself from the meeting room and went out to answer the call.

"Hello! Hello! Tara, is it you? Can you hear me?"

There was silence for a minute. Vivesh was about to hang up the call to call her back. But within that, he heard a voice from the other end.

"Hello, Viv..Vivu..,Ccaa..can u hea..hear me..? T..Taraa here..", she stumbled.

"Tara, Tara, What happened please tell me? Your voice is feeble and breaking. Any problem?", Vivesh swithered.

Tara composed herself a bit and replied,

"Don't panic. Hear what I say. I puked blood all over the bathroom sink and I couldn't talk much. I called 911 and they'll pick me up shortly. Don't be in a hurry. Drive safe.  Come to Weiss Hospital without getting stressed."

"Ok Tara, Don't worry. Be bold. Nothing will happen to you. I'll be coming to the hospital shortly", Vivesh consoled her concealing his stressed face.

Tara then hung up the call. Vivesh got a lot of fear inside him.  He still tried to act cool. He went to his manager and informed that he should leave the office as there is an emergency. He was granted permission to leave and he ran fast to the parking lot of his office. He took his car and headed to the hospital.

"I puked blood all over the bathroom sink and I couldn't talk much."

"I puked blood all over the bathroom sink and I couldn't talk much."

Tara's words resonated in his head. He couldn't get off those words from his head. He looked so panic and unsettled. He sweated copiously in spite of the A/C inside the car. He wiped the sweat in his face with tissues and drove the car.

His mind imagined Tara standing in between a pool of blood. His hands trembled. He lost the control of his hands from the steering.

Boom! The sound of a loud crash?!

Vivesh had crashed the car. Thank God, he didn't make a big accident. He crashed the car in the curb. But the car's headlight, rear lights, and bonnet got damaged. He called the police and informed the crash and waited outside the car for them to arrive to record the crash.

In spite of the tension in the air, the car crash reminded him of the incident which happened 7 years ago.

Vivesh and Tara got married 7 years ago. After 2 months of their marriage, she carried Glory in her tummy. Vivesh and Tara were overwhelmed and couldn't wait for 9 months to see their cute baby.

Sarah did her masters degree in England. So her parents went to visit her. Since Tara's family was abroad during her pregnancy Vivesh only had to take care of her. Vivesh lost his father in his young age and his mother also passed away a year back unfortunately before seeing their marriage. He had a younger brother named Solomon who lived in California. Vivesh and Tara lived in Chicago.

Tara was 9 months pregnant at that time. Vivesh had requested to work from home in his company since he wanted to be near her.

Her delivery due date was within a week. Vivesh thought that there's one week time and left her alone at the home and went to buy groceries.

Vivesh was buying veggies and meat in the shop and he got a call from Tara.

"Hey, Vivu..uff..uff. I can't bear the pain. I am going to call 911. You come to Weiss memorial hospital."

"Omg. I'm not near you Tara. Please manage dear. I'll come soon. I shouldn't have left you alone. I am not there for you. Sorry. Sorry."

"It's ok. I'll manage. uff.. Uff..
How will you know? The date was next week but I got pain now. We can't predict it dear. Come soon. I'm hanging up the call. Bye."

Vivesh was worried that she was alone. He started to drive fast in his car.

Boom!

He crashed the car.

He had hit a truck fast and the car toppled and he fainted.

While he opened his eyes he realized that he was in the hospital. The first thought hit him was Tara and their baby. He got tensed and saw around him if his mobile is available. He couldn't find the mobile. He just felt a sharp pain in his leg and couldn't move his leg.

He buzzed the alarm nearby him to call the nurse. The nurse came in and asked him,

"How are you feeling now?"

"I couldn't move my leg. It's painful. But before that, I need to make a call. Do you know if my mobile was spared in the accident?"

"Relax Vivesh. You've got a surgery in your leg as you had a crack in your joints. We have inserted plates and fixed it. You were in anesthesia for a few hours. We called your wife and she is also admitted in this hospital only but a few blocks away from here and Congrats. You have got your girl baby. Both mom and baby are safe."

"Thank God." He got relieved.

"But can you do me a favor?"

"Yes. Please tell me."

"I want to call my wife. Can you give her extension and can I use the phone near me?"

"Sure. Wait I'll check the records with the receptionist and tell you her extension and you can use the phone near you", said the nurse and went closing the room door.

Once he got the extension of Tara's room from the nurse, he called her. He heard a dial tone in the other end and he waited for her to take the call.

Suddenly he heard the ringtone instead of the dial tone. He realized he thought too much about past forgetting the present situation.

"Oops! I forgot to inform Tara that I crashed the car and I will be coming late", he murmured.

Vivesh was mentally so unstable. He cursed himself and answered the call on his mobile.

"Hello. Tara here. Just want to check when are you coming to the hospital?"

"Sorry dear. I just crashed the car."

"Omg. What happened to you. I told you to come slowly only right. Why are you doing this? Are you hurt? To which hospital you are going now?"

"No. I'm alright. I didn't get hurt. Just the car. I'm waiting for formalities. I'll come once I'm done. Please hang on. What happened to you? What the doctor said?"

"I got admitted in hospital and they took few tests. Waiting for the results. Don't worry I'm a little bit ok. They gave me pills. You please be safe. Don't repeat like my pregnancy. I had to take care of two children till I live I guess. I have to die worrying about you two kids since you are also behaving like a kid along with Glory."

"I said sorry darling. Please don't start to speak something pessimistic. We will be alright and will be a happy family. Believe it, my dear baby."

"Ok dear. I love you. Missing you. Waiting for you."

"I love you my cute darling. I'll be there soon."

Tara waited in the hospital nail-biting for her results as well as for Vivesh to arrive. Both Tara and Vivesh were worried if she would crash to death or crush the death.
