Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Kalish's POV:

I have been waiting for a long time thinking about when the doctor will come out of Sweety's room. It has been one hour since he entered her room to perform the body checkups.

Oh, God!! Why does it take him a long time? I'm not a saint who has all the composure running in his system.

Losing all my patience I'm started to tap my feet on the floor continuously, it seems every second passed like ages.

My eyes are burning with sensation by the desire of getting some sleep, on the other side, my stomach is grumbling louder begging for food. But they both have no idea what's going on here except my heart which creates a loud thud for every second, longing to hear the good news of his girls well being.

I rubbed my eyes to let go of my sleep and leaned on the wall. Folding my hand across my chest I'm started to think of Sweety and Riya, my little princess and queen, who were lying on the bed for the past one day to the process of eating me alive.

All the tears in my eyes were dried and I have no energy left in my body to make any noise. I can't even feel my throat; it likes I had drunk the whole molten gold and it has stuck inside my throat.

The tickling sound of the giant Wall clock gave me a mini heart attack whenever the needle passed the number. It's not just counting the time, instead, counting my baby's life too.

The timeline for Sweety has left only 20 hours to get up or else she would fall into a coma or face a dreadful de... No, she is a fighter, she will come back.

"Doctor, how's my baby? Is any improvement?" I asked the doctor once he came out of my baby's room after finishing his final check-up.

"I'm sorry. I don't think she will make it?" He shook his head.

I struggled to breathe. It likes someone had cut the whole oxygen supply from my body. "What do you mean?" I barely whispered.

"It all depends upon to herself. If she wants to live she could cross this misery." He patted my shoulder; I can read the defeat in his face.

"Can I see her?" I asked hoping he will say yes. He was hesitant at first then slightly nodded his head giving me the approval to visit my child.

The nurse gave me a green color coat and a mask to change before allowing me to enter the ICU ward. I clutched the doorknob and to assured myself. "You can do this." I inhaled deeply and turned the doorknob.

The beeping sound of my baby's heavy heartbeat got my attention when I entered her room. Various types of machines were hooked into her body monitoring her every movement. I'm not familiar with this stuff, I had never been in this situation before.

She was breathing with the help of an oxygen mask that was given to her and a giant bandage was wrapped around her head where I could able to see faint bloodstains. I was scared at first to touch her thinking what if I crush her.

"Hey! Baby!!" I whispered combing her hair full of affection and love. I didn't think of it before that I could have these kinds of feelings inside me, especially towards this little bunny.

"My little bunny." I smiled when I thought about our first meeting. How crazy I was? I couldn't even able to spot my flesh. She is the replica of my Riya. Same brown hair, chubby cheeks and has her all inheritance, It made me jealous.

And our second meeting, it's awful. She was demanding to ask her for an apology when I accidentally crushed her chocolate. It was an accident but I didn't care to apologize.

"I'm sorry, my baby. Dad was awful to you." I combed her hair through my fingers.

And in our third meeting, it was chanceless. She called me a monster. "I'm a monster." I stroked her cheeks gently.

"Please, come back baby. Daddy will protect you. Mommy loves you more than anyone." It's very hard to swallow the lump which formed in my throat.

"You have a little sister or brother on their way. Don't you want to play with them?" I kissed her forehead.

"Sir?" The nurse gave me a pitying look. I nodded my head as a compliment before walking out of her room.

"Hey!!" Jack my friend hugged me once I reached the hallway where I was seated before.

"It's okay, everything alright." He assured me.

"She is dying jack!! How it would be alright?" I pushed him away. "Don't give me fake confidence." I snarled "That you give your patients."

"You wouldn't tell me the same thing if your daughter had in her shoes." I threw my hand in the air.

"Ahhhh... It is eating me alive." I pulled my hair out of frustration.

"You are not in your right mind, Kayish. Just relax." He made me sit on the chair.

"Drink this." He handed me a glass of water but I refused to take it. "Don't be like this, be a strong man. I have gone through her file, she is alright she will wake up any time soon."

"Leave, please don't kill me." I wiped my tears.

"Doctor, the baby..."

"What happened to her?" I stood up abruptly when the nurse who was monitoring Sweety came partially running towards us.

"She...she is responding." She breathed out.

"Let me check." Jack ran towards her room while I'm praying my dear God with a hope-filled heart.

Exactly 10 minutes later he came out of her room with a huge grin on his face. "She is awake." Reading my mind he replied immediately before I throw any questions.

"Thank God." I let out a long sigh. It seems I have been reborn again. "She's a fighter." He gave me a proud smile. "Yes, she is." I returned the smile.

Finally, I got two hours of sleep before the nurse wakes me up. Not realizing where I am, I gave her a questioning look for which she simply smiled at me.

"She is awake." The nurse informed me. I looked at her blankly.

Who? Before my mind asked her a stupid question I heard my pounding heartbeat in my rib cage. Oh, God!! It's Riya. All my sleeping system woke up immediately when her name popped into my mind.

"Thank you." I dismissed her. Gathering all my courage I entered her room. She was looking at the ceilings but her gaze turned towards me when she felt my presence.

"Why are you still here?" She blurted out giving me a murderous glare. "Stop." She stood up abruptly when I took a step towards her.

"Please babe, you are hurting yourself." I pleaded when I spotted a small stain of blood in her arm where the IV was hooked into her arm.

She snatched the needle from her forearm and threw it away. "Don't come here." She roared.

"I'm sorry Riya. Please forgive me." I took her hand within me. She weights like a mere paper. "I did horrible things to you. I don't deserve you." My voice shuttered. I can't think about my future without her.

"I want you. I want to stay with Sweety's life, our baby's life." She struggled under my touch but froze in her midst.

The confusing look written all over her face has enough to tell me that she has no idea about the baby thing. I kneeled in front of her and wrapped my hand around her waist before planting a small kiss on her stomach.

"Our baby," I whispered.

"Baby?" Her eyes widened in shock and she fainted once again.
