The String of Hearts ( Completed )

14) Forgiveness!

Vennela's Point Of View

*****

It's been two days , I've got to know about Vibha's health condition. I tried my best find a solution for this. I tried talking to my senior doctors , contacted my friend who is a doctor working abroad , searched online , referred books but nothing actually seemed to safeguard the life of Vibha and the baby. Each time I'm left only with dissapointment and it's breaking my heart. I really do not have the courage to let Vibha know this. She's mentally too exhausted with everything happening around her. I had a talk with Sana , who also said the same. Ask her to go for an abortion! I know Vibha won't ever do that. She will kill herself before harming the baby by her own.

My head felt like splitting into pieces. I barely slept and ate. Last time I had to face Vibha , she's being so happy with her new life. I know soon she had to falter that happiness. I feel helpless and sick. I couldn't face her anymore and so I decided to go for night shifts as well

Dr. Jay didn't force me anymore to say what kept me bothering. I felt bad for shouting at him when he tried to help me out. But I was too broken to deal with the situation. But somewhere , I felt confidence in him. Probably he's the only person who can help me. But he was too involved in work and we haven't spoken to each other for two long days except few official things.

I walked to the main ward for rounds and suddenly halted in steps. My head felt like spinning and the vision in front of me looked blurred. Before I could realise , I fainted.

I don't know what really happened to me , but when I opened my eyes I saw Dr. Jay in front of me. He looked at me and I could see the concern in his eyes. It quickly faded away when he realised that I'm awake. He cleared his throat. I looked around and realised that I'm in one of the hospital beds. I felt like slapping myself. I tried to sit.

Dr. Jay helped me by holding my shoulder with his one hand and my waist with the other. I felt chills running down my spine with his touch on my bare waist. I quickly recovered myself and looked at him.

"You had hyperglycaemia and dehydration. Your BP and blood sugars weren't normal and you were taking night shifts"he glared at me and I let out a sigh.

"You had fever for two days and don't tell me that you weren't aware of it"he said. To be frank I was too exhausted to take care of myself. I nodded weakly.

"Why did you skip your food? For god's sake open your mouth Dr. Vennela"he said and I looked at him.

"Did I faint?"I asked. He shot me an unbelievable look.

"Yes. You passed out"he said. A drop of tear escaped my eyes which I wiped off quickly before he could notice. I heard him sighing. He sat besides me. There were long silence in the room which made me restless.

"See I know that I asked you to stay away from me. I even told you that we can never be good friends too Dr. Vennela. But I'm your colleague as well. Tell me what's bothering you. May be I can help you out"he said and I didn't knew what to say. I ran my fingers through my forehead. Dr. Jay got up from the bed and turned to walk away. From his face I can guess that he'd been so pissed off.

"Dr. Jay?"I called him from behind and he stopped.

"Please stay. I want to talk to you"

Anand's Point Of View

*****

Past two days completely kept me busy. There was too much to study and I've been going mad. Anna helped me a bit in revising and also gave me tips to keep the important topics in memory. He explained with so much of patience. I also made a mental note to take advises from Vadina but I learned from Vibha that she'd been taking night shifts in the hospital.
