What he left behind!

Chapter 16 - We Are There For Her

RUHI'S POV

I made Neha sit down on chair, filling the glass with cool water, I made her drink it.

"Shhh.. I got you.. Relax take a breath, slowly" I gave him instructions so her panic attack will stop.

My heart ache, As I saw her following my instructions.. I sat next to her, after a while her breathing was normal, she finally looked at me.

"It's over Neha.. Its been a year, you have to come out of that and he is not going to hurt you anymore.
"You need help Neha.. Please you need concealing" I tried to make her understand.

"I... I.. Don't want to discuss with strangers.. It.. Ruh... I.." She stammer badly.

"It's affecting your health, mentally physically.. I can't prescribe you anymore temporary medication.." She shook her head no.

"What if the person, the doctor is familiar would you talk to him?! I asked..

" Huh!?" She seems lost "karan.. You remember karan right" i asked her.

"Yes.." she said, "We got married, 3 days ago, he knows about Kartik.. He is psychologist too" she was still not ready.

"How about I discuss with him first.." I asked hoping she would say yes.

"Noo.. Please.." She was on. Verge of crying again.

I took her palm in my hand "Don't you want to be g
Ok, be happy.. Live your life without all this medicine.. Please Neha.. Do it for me.. For Kartik, you know he hates seeing you sad" I told her.

She took a sip of water "Ok.. You talk to him" She said. She got up from chair, her small fragile frame, moving slowly out of my cabin, before she leaves I hugged her.

"Don't go missing like that, you still have me, ok.." I said, she didn't smile, but just nodded.

Neha what had he done to y
you, the girl I remembered was fearless, sassy, funny strong, and now she is scared of her own shadow.

I need to talk to karan as soon as possible.. Finishing my last paper work, I went to Karan cabin.. I wonder if his surgery went well.

I knocked before entering "Hi! I was just above to come down to you" He said.

"You were?!" I asked.. He nodded getting up "I am finished for the day, we can head home together." He told me. I nodded yes.

Hr suddenly stopped and raised my face with his fingers on my chin, he searched something in my eyes "What happened, you cried!" He said, surprising me.

"Nothing.. I want to talk to you but not here let's go home" I said to him.

He stare at me for few seconds before nodding.
Soom enough we reached home, Rashmi had already cooked dinner, after eating, I made Kartik do his homework changing his clothes I tucked him into bed.

"You wanted to talk?" Karan said while I was applying lotion.

"Yes.. It's"

"Mom, Dad can I sleep with you both" Kartik stood at our bedroom door with his favorite blanket rolled around him.

"come on here, champ" karan welcomed him on bed. I smiled, before marring, He often slept with me.

I laid beside them, instantly my body, wiggle toward me and slept on my chest, his half body was lying on me.

I ran my fingers in his soft curls.
"You were saying something" Karan asked. I Sigh "We'll talk later," I told him. I didn't want to discuss Neha's problem in front of Kartik.
