Dear Diary

HIS CHANGING

Next day

Mohan and Madhu were talking with RK

"Son we need to talk with you" Mohan

"Yes Dad?" RK

"It is about the hospital" Mohan

"What is about it?" RK

"We all know you can't work with your condition. Your treatment will take time. Madhu and I decided that I stay here with you and manage the hospital until you get well and can take it again" Mohan

"You both decided!" RK was angry

"Please Rishabh. Don't be angry. We care for you" Madhu

"It is the best option we have son" Mohan

"If you both decided for me. What can I say after that? I can't object. It is your hospital after all. I can't say anything. Even if I don't agree with your decision, my hand won't let me. With my condition, I don't have any option. I'm disabled now" RK

"No Rishabh. Don't ever say that word. You aren't disabled" Madhu

"That's the truth. Why do we sugarcoat it?" RK

"No it isn't. You will be ok. Your hand will work normally. You will operate again. It is a temporary. When you are ok, you will be back to your hospital and your operating room. We just think of what is best for you son. Your health is the most important now. You can't stress yourself in work. You need to heal fast. Please son don't think like that. Don't lose hope" Mohan

"It is ok Dad. I know you both care for me. I can't find anyone better than you to trust for my hospital. I just don't want you to leave your work and stay here for me" RK

"Every time I needed you, you were there. How can I leave you now? You are my son. You are the most important for me. None and nothing comes before you" Mohan

"Thank you Dad" RK

"It is ok son. You will be ok soon and you will be back to your hospital soon. Just now please think about your health and forget about anything else" Mohan

"I'll Dad. I need to rest will you please leave me alone" RK

"Sure son I'll see you tomorrow." Mohan

After Mohan left the room

"Madhu please leave me alone." RK

"What is it Rishabh? Are you angry from me?" Madhu

"No I just need some time alone. Can you please leave me?" RK shouted at her

"Ok. I'll go. I'll be beside the door if you need me" Madhu left him alone

Madhu was sitting outside her husband's room. She didn't know how to comfort him. She knew how hard the situation was for him. He lost his job. It was his identity. But in the same time. She couldn't let him continue working and stressing himself. It was danger for his condition.

After two hours

Madhu took the food tray from a nurse and entered her husband's room

"Can I come in now?" Madhu

"Sure" RK

"It is your lunch" Madhu

"I'm not hungry now" RK

"You have to eat. For your medication" Madhu

"I can't even refuse to eat when I don't want to. I don't have any word for anything. Do I?" RK

"Rishabh please." Madhu

"Ok I'll eat" RK

Madhu started feeding him. After they had finished their lunch, RK apologized to his wife
