She reached her house and saw him sitting in the living area. He stands up seeing her.

"Finally you are back. He just fell asleep." he said looking at her.

"What happened to him? Let me go and see him first." She said

Abhi "Wait Pragya. I know you would know what's wrong with him once you see him. But listen to me first."

"Now you are making me scared. Just tell me it Abhi!" she said

Abhi "He had a mild heart attack. Luckily, I was here and called for your family doctor as your number was unreachable."

"Heart attack? He don't have it!" she replied.

Abhi "A mild one. Nothing serious as of now. So don't get worried now."

"How can I not get worried? He is my dad!"

Abhi "Yes I know but before that you have to understand you need to spend more time with him. He only have you now and I hope you allocate more time for him."

"I am going to see him." She says and he lets her go.

After sometime, she returns and sees Abhi still there.

"Thank you so much!" she said as he stood up to talk to her.

Abhi "It's okay. Actually I came here to tell don't do anything funny and in the process forget about your dad."

"I don't understand what you mean."

Abhi "About me. Like trying to find about me and then not....."

"I won't do like that. Whatever it is my dad is highly important to me."

Abhi smiles and says "Take care of him and I got to go."

"Sure! But you are also highly important to me."

Abhi "Not again!" he says closing his eyes in disbelief.

"After my dad, you are the one who makes me curious to know of."

Abhi "You were curious to know about your dad? What do you mean by that?"

"I was curious about his dislike towards certain things that were unusual. Then I got to know his dislike was a reflection of my mum's dislikes and way of life."

Abhi "Oh..."

"You won't ask how my mum passed away?"

Abhi "I know...."

"How do you know?"

Abhi "Purab told me. She died because of a bad treatment by a doctor for her leg injury."

"Yes and that's why my dad want me to be a doctor who doesn't make that mistake. I also had a dream of becoming doctor from young."

Abhi "Now don't think about past. It won't be good for your present."

"If I tell the same to you, will you accept it?"

Abhi "My past is different from yours so my words won't apply to me."

"Alright but why are you not telling it to your loved ones? Let it be I am not the one, but at least you can tell it to your friend, Purab or Dadi right?"

Abhi "How do you know that even Dadi doesn't know about it?"

"I know that she is not your own Dadi. You met her when you were young in a market and she brought you up out of sympathy towards your loneliness. Am I right?"
