Anju was shivering in her sleep. Drips was attached to her right arm while she was looking all pale and fragile. Rudra was next to her. He had just closed his eyes. Pari was sleeping next to him. Rudra was awake the whole night as anju would get up in sleep. Anju opened her eyes and again closed them as the light was hurting her. After sometime she groogily opened them she tried to sit. She saw rudra and pari sleeping. Anju got up and sat down. She tries to speak

Anju( weakly and hoarse voice): ba..ba

Her voice was so low that it didn't reach to his ears. Anju again tried to speak when she puked dirting herself and the bed.Her eyes filled with tears she can't voice out to rudra. Pari who had got up saw anju awake. She frowned looking at her though she didn't understand what happened but she shaked rudra.

Pari( waking up): pa...pa....chi...chi

Rudra woke up due to the movment he saw pari looking at some direction and was shocked looking anju.Anju saw rudra and looked down as she was embraced no one would like this. Rudra understood what she was thinking and cupped her face.

Rud( cupping her cheeks): aap niche kyu dekh rahe ho baccha. It's ok aap beemar hona toh agar aapne vomit kar diya toh kya hai.

The door open and their parents came in. They saw anju in that state and made a disgusting face.

Rah( making faces): oh got Anjali. Ye sab kya hai. It's so dirty aise kaun karta hai

Anju( with difficulty): pa..pa

Rah: kya papa huh. Kab sikhoge kaise behave karna hai.

Anjali looked down crying. What was her fault in this. She didn't do intentionally. Rudra had enough he can't see his child like this.

Rud: bas papa. Uski tabiyat theek nahi hai. Jan bhuj kar thodi na kiya hai isne

Sak: tabiyat kharab thi toh bathroom mai janke karna chahiye na. Aise bed pe. It's so disgusting agar kisine dekh liya toh humara status kharab ho jayega.

Rud: mom please. Halat dekho uski mom. Woh thik se aankh bhi nahi khol paa rahe hai

Sak: yeh saf kaun karega abh? I am sure yeh ganda toh staff bhi saf nahi karenge.

Rud: mai karunga. Meri beti beemar hai toh usse saf mai karunga aapko tension lene ki zarurat nahi hai. Meri bacchi ka dhyan mai rakh lunga. Aapko please jaiye yaha se.

They left the room. Rudra looked at anju to see her crying. Before he could say anything pari came near them as she saw anju crying.

Pari( nodded no): c..ly.....c..ly....na...na

Rud: yes no cry cry.

Anju( weakly): ba..ba..sho...ly

Rud: aap kyu sorry bol rahe ho baccha. Isme aapki galti nahi hai. Chalo abhi aapko clean karte hai. Pari baccha aap couch pe jake baitho papa abhi aate hai. Ok

Pari went and sat on the couch. Rudra picked anju up without even caring that his clothes will get dirty and took her the washroom. He made her sit on the slab. He then started removing her clothes. Once done he took wet cloth and started wiping her body. After doing that he made her wear clean clothes and took her out making her sit on the couch next to pari. Anju whines when rudra left her

Rud( kissing her forehead): baccha 2 mins ok. Baba ko bed clean karna hai na.

Rudra cleaned the bed. He took the dirty bed sheet and kept it in the laundry bag. Then took a clean bedsheet and change it. Once done he came to the girls. He saw anju was half asleep. He picked her up and made her lay down on the bed. Then he picked pari and also made her sit on the bed. Rudra took his phone and called karan.
