We reached the hospital . Mom was already in a dire drunken state. She was thoroughly pitiful and helpless. I met her in ICU. Her condition gave me a big lump in my heart. Thousand times hurtful than any normal day Or a day with Sky"s ignorance. I with my hand patted her head. She was asleep lightly. She is not deeply asleep though. Her painful fingers. Needled hands and several injections for saline and different types of other medicines were put. Her trembling fingers gave bigger jolt. Nikki came up stairs to visit mom. Mom couldn"t recognise her. She came and held her hand. But soon left.She mumbled, "So.. nne.. t, N.. ikki go h... om.. e and st.. udy. Don"t wor..ry about me. "
Just few words but so much concern. Even in her pitiable state she was worrying about us. As soon as dad came in she covered her face and went of to sleep.
Visiting hours was over. Doctor came and we were asking him.
"Listen you all need to be prepared. Especially you. You are the elder daughter Sonnet right. "
"Yes doctor. Please tell me everything. I will prepare within my limits to support my mom. "
"Well since you all have brought here after 6-7hours, the best time for complete removal of the poisonous drug from the body is gone. Only maximum can be cured. Rest depends on her ability to recover and her wanting to survive. "
"Sure Doctor. "
"Can I meet mom one last time for today? I know it"s not right but can you? "
"Umm Ok. But not more than 5 minutes. "
"More than enough. Thank you doctor. "
I hurried to her. I need to bring out happiness and keep the morale up for her to survive.
"Mom don"t worry at all. You will be alright. Everyone loves you. Just tell me what you want and I will fulfill your wish.I will fulfill your wishes which are realistic and you want it. "
"I don"t want to live"
"You have to. You will tell me your problems and we will face together. Don"t worry mom. Everybody wants to know about your welfare. You mom, my dad, your brothers everyone loves you. Just think about us."
"Time"s up. Ms Sonnet you may leave. "
"Uh okay"... " Mom just think about it. "
With that we all left in a disappointment. Can"t help. I had to hide my feelings to care of others. I have to be strong. B.. e strong!
After I had come back Sky called me up. I maintained my composure.
"Sonnet do you know how to deal with problem no. 34 in probability. "
"No.I will try it out just now. Just wait. "
"By the way, Do you know about the program Sir had taught us. The answer was different from what I had got after running at home. "
"Don"t worry I will see to it definitely. "
"Ok bye. Just inform me after you have completed the work. "
" Sure. "
doot.. doot
After that I kept solving. The sum was difficult. And the program "s answer was truly incorrect. Our one didn"t match Sir"s. What a pity right!
I called up. Discussed overnight.
After that I went to heat the left over food. Dad already had bread and hot milk.
Only we two were left. I served Nikki first. After that I gave her left hot chocolate which mom had prepared before. After that my eyes couldn"t strain anymore. I was soo tired that I had gone to sleep.
