There is always a risk in love. Loving someone is an extremely vulnerable thing because you pour your heart and soul into it, giving your heart to your loved one, not knowing what will happen to it..
When we think about the people we love most in life, we sometimes fall into the fear trap. The fear of rejection, the fear of abandonment, beside these the biggest fear of all is that we will somehow lose them.
The same fear is what Teja is facing now..
Everyone is sleeping peacefully, but Teju is feeling a bit morbid.. She is crying silently in bed like a little kid, thinking about her father's condition..
Losing people we love the most is a part of life that everyone will face at some point, a really scary and sad part of life that Teju never wanted to face..
Teju in her mind : No... I can't lose him.. He is my father, my role model , my teacher, my best friend, my hero.. I can't even stand the thought of him not being with me.. What will Amma ( maa) do without him?... She will be devastated.. No.. I can't see her like that.. I can't see my father dying, besides knowing the fact that he can survive... No... I'll convince him.. I'll convince him to get the surgery done.. I can't lose him..
Teju wiped her tears 😢and slept in no time..
***************************************
Next morning 🌞 ,
Teju rose early and freshened up before heading to the resort's kitchen. She inquired if she could prepare breakfast herself, and upon receiving approval, she made millet poha and egg toast for Td. Completing the meal with a banana smoothie, she arranged everything on a tray and brought it to Td and Tm's room. Tm was already awake, engrossed in a conversation with Km, while Td still lay in peaceful slumber.
Teju knocked the door but she got no response from other side.. So she opened the door and went inside.... She saw Td sleeping 😴peacefully.. She kept the tray on nightstand and woke up Td..
Teju : Appa ( paa) ... It's already 7:30 am.. Get up..
Td slowly opened his eyes.. His face was too pale🤒.. One can easily identify that is he is not well..
Teju checked his temperature 🌡️ .. It was normal , so she checked his bp level... His blood pressure level is little high..🥴
She called her mother..
Teju : Maa, come to your room now..
Tm : why? Your father is fine na.. ? 😟
Teju : haan.. You please come..
Tm comes to room immediately.. Td tried to talk with Teju but she didn't gave any attention to him..
Tm : haan Teju.. Enna aachu? ( kya hua)
Teju : Amma ( maa) , I have kept the breakfast here.. Ask him to have it soon.. Aur haan, I'll ask everyone to get ready.. Jaldi nikalte hein.. 😐
Tm : okay.. But you can ask your father to eat na.. Ithukaga enna room ku vara soniya ( iss cheez keliye muje room me aane keliye kyun bola? ) 🙄
Teju didn't want to talk about this, so she diverted her..
Teju : I have to talk with my manager.. Mei abhi aaya..
Saying this she left the room.. Td was sad at her..
Tm : rendu perum sanda poteengala ( tum dono ladre the? ) 🤨
Td : n..no .🙃
Tm : then why is she behaving like this?
Td : how do I know?
Tm : hmm.. You fresh up and eat this breakfast... Illana ava ena panuva nu theriyathu ( nhi toh voh kya karegi muje nhi malum)
Td : hmm.
Td freshened up and had breakfast. It was time for them to go home, and the ride was silent. Teju drove the elder's car, not wanting to be away from her father even for a second. Throughout the journey, Tm, Km, and Kd chatted, but Teju and Td remained quiet.
Karan too tried to talk with Teju after reaching home.. But they couldn't find any alone time..
After taking some rest, Nisha took everyone outside to roam over the Chennai city .. Teju asked Nisha to do so, leaving Td and Teju at home..
Td felt nausea and vomiting, so teju stayed at home to take care of him..
Td : Teju, I am fine... Don't get stressed.. These nauseous and vomit feeling is normal for me.. 😏
Teju shot him a glare.. 😠
Teju : I don't even want to talk with you.. So please stay silent and take rest..
Td : Teju, yesterday I and Karan were just talking.. I really feel it's a waste of money to spend on surgery whose result is obvious. 😞
Teju : Can you please stay silent?.. Agar aap positive nhi re sakte ho toh atleast let me be positive.. Why are you thinking negative?... 😑
Td tried to change the topic..
Td : Tu Hindi bohot achese baat karri hai.. Try to talk in Hindi itself.. 😃
Teju : don't try to divert the topic.. 😒
She said this and went to get his medicine.. She took his medicine box.. Medicines got over..
Teju : medicine katam hogaya.. Aap pehle kyun nhi bataya?
Td : I... I... Forgot. 😥
Teju gave him a suspicious look.. She opened her mobile and tried to order medicines through an app but no one was ready to supply today itself.
Teju : aap yahi pe raho.. I'll go and buy medicine.. Don't move from this bed.. Atleast listen to me this time..
Teju said this and took her purse... She went to the nearest medical shop and bought medicines and was returning home
***************************************
Karan, Omi, Sreetu and Nisha were enjoying their time ... Tm felt sudden uneasiness.. Her intuition is trying to tell her that something bad is going to happen.. Km noticed Tm..
Km : Ritu, kya hua? Tu kahan koyi ho?
Tm : pata nhi... Kuch ajeebsa mehsoos hora hai..jaisa kuch bura hone wala hai..
Km : kuch bura nhi hoga.. Sab acha hi hoga.. Tu aisa mat soch..
Tm : mein Teju ko call karti hun.. Shayad usse baat karke man ko thoda tasalli mil jayega
Km : haan call karo..
Tm called Teju but her phone was in her room..
Tm : voh nhi utha rahi hai.. 😰
Km : phirse try kar..
Tm tried again but her mobile got switched off due to no battery..
Tm : arey yaar.. Ye battery ko bhi abhi katam hona hai.. 😩
Km : ruko.. Mei Karan ko bolta hun.
Km called Karan and asked him to call Teju.. Karan,Omi Sreetu sab log try kiye the but no response from Teju's side...
Karan : isko kya hogaya? Phone kyun nhi utha rahi hai.. 😦
Nisha : I think voh silent pe rakke sogayi..
Tm : nhi voh aisa nhi karti.. Usko pata hai ghar me koi nhi hai.. Uske papa ko bhi khayal rakhna hai, isliye voh nhi soti..
Kd : behen Tu tension mat lo... Voh kuch kaam karrahi hogi..
Tm : muje..abhi ghar jaana hai.. Chalte hein.. Please.
Karan : haan ok aunty.. Chalo sab chaltein..
Everyone sat in the car and moved towards home...
***************************************
Teju returned home..She took a glass of water, medicine and went to TD's room ..
She saw her biggest fear and nightmare turn into reality.. Td was suffering to breathe..
Teju immediately went to Td and tried to calm him by rubbing his back and hands..
Teju : Appa... Appa ( papa) ... Calm down.. Onnu ila.. Onnu ila.. ( kuch nhi hoga )
Tears flowed like a river from her eyes... But she tried to stay calm .. 😭😭
Td : teju... Te.. ju...
Teju : haan pa ( papa) ... Inga thaan irukan ( mei yahi hun)
Teju gave him water and medicine.. He took them but vomited everything... Blood coming from his mouth scared her, but she still tried to stay calm ... She wiped him with tissues..
Td : Teju..... 🥴
Teju : haan Appa ( papa)
Td held her hand tightly and tried to say something.. His trying made his health deteriorate..
Teju : appa.. Kuch mat bolo... Please... Mei Amma ( maa) ko call karti hun..
Teju searched for her phone but she couldn't find it..so she took Td's phone and called Tm.. However, the call couldn't reach as Td's phone was switched off. Teju immediately called for an ambulance🚑..
Teju : Appa ( papa) kuch nhi hoga.. Please don't leave me.. Mujse nhi hoga... Please..
Teju rubbed him...she called Td's doctor, informing him about Td's condition..
Doc : Teju, bring him here.. We will give him first aid, but you have to take him to Mumbai for surgery... I already told you about his condition.. Arrange it fast..
Teju : ok doc..
The ambulance arrived, and Teju, with the help of a few people, laid Td on a stretcher. They rushed him to the hospital. Teju sat beside Td, murmuring sweet words to comfort him.
***************************************
Tm and others reached home in 30 mins..They were surprised to see the house locked 🔒..
Tm : Ye Teju kahaan chali gayi?
Tm went and asked the neighbors.. They informed her that Teju took Td to the hospital.. Tm started crying..
Tm : Sunil... Sunil.. Ku enna aachu ( Sunil ko kya hua? )
Km : ritu... Tension mat lo... Konsi hospital bata rahe the?
Tm : same Apollo hospital..
Kd : toh chaltein..
Everyone hurried to Apollo hospital in 30 minutes. Karan inquired at the reception, and they were told that Mr. Prakash was in the ICU.
They all went towards the ICU.. Karan saw Teju sitting on a chair with a blank face.. His eyes noticed blood stains on her dress and hands 🩸
Karan : what the hell is this ? 😨
Omi also noticed the bloodstains on Teju's dress and hands. Tm kept on asking her about what happened.
Tm : teju.. Bata na.. Ye sab kya hai.. What happened to him? Voh thik hai na..
Teju sat there still.. She didn't moved a bit.. Omi sat beside her...
Omi : Teju, bacha.. Kya hua papa ko... Voh thik hai na..
Teju still didn't speek... Omi understands that she is going into some other zone.. To make her talk, he shouted at her loudly..
Omi : will you open your mouth , Tejasswi Prakash? We all are asking you .. Open your mouth and say something..😡
Teju jerked with his loud voice and started sobbing while hugging Omi..
Teju : bhai..😭😭😭 Appa.. (Papa) he is 😭
