We reached the hospital . Mom was already in a dire drunken state. She was thoroughly pitiful and helpless. I met her in the ICU. Her condition gave me a big lump in my heart. Thousand times more hurtful than any normal day Or a day with Sky's ignorance.
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 in. Her trembling fingers gave a bigger jolt. Nikki came up the 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 a 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 off to sleep.
Visiting hours were over. The doctor came and we were asking him.
"Listen, you all need to be prepared. Especially you. You are the elder daughter of Sonnet right. "
"Yes doctor. Please tell me everything. I will prepare within my limits to support my mom. "
"Well since you all have been brought here after 6-7 hours, the best time for complete removal of the poisonous drug from the body is gone. Only the 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 fulfil your wish.I will fulfil 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 them 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 disappointment. Can't help. I had to hide my feelings to care for 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 definitely see it. "
"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 leftover food. Dad already had bread and hot milk.
Only the two of us were left. I served Nikki first. After that I gave her leftover hot chocolate which mom had prepared before. After that my eyes couldn't strain anymore. I was so tired that I went to sleep.
