Part 11- Forgotten

Abhi got up to chase after Pragya, purely out of instinct, but as he got up, he heard Riya mumble something, which he couldn't quite make out. Riya once again mumbled the same thing and this time he understood what she was saying.

"Mumma." Riya mumbled as she slowly came back to consciousness. Abhi was shocked to hear that, it was as if Riya knew that her mom was there even when she was unconscious.

Abhi instantly sat down again to comfort Riya.

"No Princess, it's Papa." Abhi said while holding one of Riya's hands in his own.

Riya slowly began to wake up, trying to get up from the bed, but Abhi stopped her by putting a hand on her shoulder, not letting her get up.

"What happened? Where am I?" She asked sluggishly, still half asleep, scared about where she was, but calm because her dad was with her.

"You got in a car accident, but you'll be okay, you have to be." Abhi replied, kissing Riya's hand which he was holding in his own. "What were you even doing outside that late at night?" Abhi asked getting slightly angry with Riya's recklessness.

"I don't remember. I know I left with the driver, but then I came back to get my phone, I found it, and then left the restaurant again. What happened after that, I don't remember." Riya said trying to remember, she felt like she was forgetting something important.

"Well it doesn't matter what you were trying to do, just never do anything like this ever again." Abhi said seeing that Riya was getting worked up trying to remember.

Riya nodded in response still wondering what she had forgotten. Riya and Abhi both remained silent lost in thought.

"I'm sorry." Both Riya and Abhi said at the same time, smiling because they were in sync.

"It's okay." They said at the same time again, this time laughing out loud.

And they were sorry for so many things. Abhi for raising his hand at Riya and not being there when she got hurt. While Riya was sorry for insulting her mom in the heat of the moment when she didn't know the whole truth. But right now wasn't the right time to talk about such things.

"Okay, I want some love now, Papa. Enough of being angry with each other." Riya said as she put her head in Abhi's lap while he was still sitting in a chair next to Riya's bed.

"Okay, scoot over so I can sit on the bed, it'll be more comfortable." Abhi said smiling, stroking Riya's hair.

Riya did as she was told. Once Abhi got situated on the small hospital bed, Riya once again put her head in Abhi's lap. Abhi once again started to run his fingers through his daughter's hair, lulling her back to sleep, while he was lost in deep thought about why Pragya had left so abruptly, and where she could've gone.
