There was a thick dressing around his leg. "Is it hurting?"
He will be fine!
When Ira heard doctor's words, she felt relieved.
As soon as the doctor left, the door opened again and her parents along with Tara entered the ward.
"Do you feel pain or discomfort anywhere?" His mother asked, worried.
"No mom, I am fine. Don't worry." He reassured her.
"Do you want to eat something?" His mother asked again.
"I just had an operation…" He smiled. After the surgery, he couldn't eat or drink anything, even water until evening.
When talking to everyone, Ira stood by the side in silence. He found her staring and him, and when he looked back, she would lower her head, not willing to meet her eyes with his.
When they discussed who will stay behind, Ira was adamant not to leave. She refused even to leave the room and get back to her bed, next door. Her mom said few words to her before leaving the room.
