They reached home shortly before Rishi carried her inside hastily, Lily was already waiting for her son & niece with eyes full of worry. She was busy preparing dinner when received the news.
All the arrangements to celebrate her birthday tonight just spoiled with one news.
As she saw them her heart shook, it was much more worse than she thought. The girl was crying in extreme pain while Rishi was hurriedly walking towards the staicase.
Lily didn't said anything and just followed her son from behind.
Reaching her room Lily quickly opened the door for her son, Rishi hurriedly entered inside & put her down on the bed but didn't left her, he sat with her while she stayed in his arms.
Lily quickly entered inside the bathroom and stepped out with a wet towel and hand it over to Rishi, he slowly wiped her face and hands before putting it aside.
At the moment everyone else had also reached home from their respective work and straight entered inside the room.
Without any delay Raghav opened her shoes from her feet & pulled out the medicinal box and took out her medicines, Lily had already prepared a glass of milk for the girl. Rick gave it to Rishi so he could feed her.
He looked at the girl who had her face hidden in his chest and trembling continuously, "Rose, look we're home! You've to take your medications sweetie, please wake up for a moment. Everything will be fine! Please relax!"
Sitara nod and slowly sat up, her face, eyes, neck had already turned red. She was sweating profusely, Rishi brought the glass of milk to her lips, Sitara slowly drank half of the milk and took her medications before again lying down on the bed.
She hugged Rishi tightly while hiding her face in his arms and sobbing in pain. Rishi just continued to stroke her hair while whispering assuring words over her ear, after whimpering for a while the girl slowly drifting off.
After confirming the girl had fallen asleep they sighed in relief, "How the hell did it happen?" Nitin yelled at them angrily.
None of them said anything, they were also quite shocked. For the last one month she didn't showed any kind of carelessness, nor broke any rules. Her attacks had also lessened, then what happened suddenly which triggered her migraine.
"It's worsening, if this continues then..!!" Kush stopped, he failed to utter the remaining words.
She already had asthma since childhood, but she was eighteen that year when this illness first triggered, after her proper check up and tests they learnt about her being the patient of chronic migraine. Firstly they were confused about how she developed that illness.
But finally Dr. Harrison concluded that maybe she had inherited the illness from any of her birth parents. Among every other possibilities this had the highest chances to happen.
Till then she's under his observations, he had prepared a big chart of rules & regulations which she follows. There's also a separate diet chart which concludes everything what she can eat or what she cannot.
She was fine previously, but as years passed she turned busier in her career. And with her increasing high stress level and overexertion of mind it started to return often.
She usually forgets everything, and very much careless, so they has to behave strictly with her, but since last month she didn't skipped anything, and took her food and medications on time, then how & why?
What exactly triggered her sudden attack? They looked at each other with this question in their eyes.
Only one person stayed quiet, and that was Rishi. He knew what exactly happened, she just overexerted her mind & body. She was too stressed with the Eden Group and some other matters now a days, her mind didn't get enough rest which triggered her pain.
"Bro, you should go and change—"
Raghav suggested, but he rejected the idea. "It's fine, her comfort and relief is the first priority for now. I'm fine, don't worry. You go & consult Dr. Harrison immediately, inform him everything!" Rishi ordered his brother while sitting beside her in the same position.
Raghav nod his head and looked at his sister once again before leaving the room.
Charlie, Rick & Kush were left in the room, after a while of thinking the girl spoke, "Rick, let's decorate this room, it's her birthday after all. What if tonight's plan cancelled, we have one entire day to celebrate it." She suggested after sending back her to be mother & father-in-law to their room.
Rishi didn't refused, he sat there quietly while letting them do asper their desire, but obviously without creating any noise.
He stared at the girl who was sleeping peacefully in his embrace, he leaned his head on the headboard while thinking about her.
Huuh! This girl had grown up, but still didn't learnt to take care of herself! Mom is searching a suitable groom for her already, but is there anybody who will take care of her just like us? What if he neglects her? What if he fails to take care of her properly?
She has so many problems, what if he lost patience with her and hurt her? What if he fails to understand her unsaid words? What if?! So many what if's appeared in his mind as he thought about giving her hand to someone else, he decided to talk with his mother.
He will never give his precious little sister to some incompetent fool. And the problem was every men were incompetent in his eyes. Another fight was about to start in between the mother & son very soon..!!
....
Sitara woke up to see herself wrapped in his big brother's arms. Huh, what big brother is doing here? When did he arrived?
While asking those questions to herself she noticed her other friends sleeping in odd positions inside the room & felt strange.
But before she could utter even a word her eyes fall on the decorations, her room was looking beautiful with all balloons, flowers and other decorative items.
Ohh my shit! It's 22nd may today, my 25th birthday! Ohh my! Ohh my! What I'm still doing here?! There are so many preparations to do for tonight's wonderful party of my birthday and also engagement!
No! No! No! I have to rush, where's my phone. Shit! There are so many arrangements to do!
Ouch!
Sitara cried out while rubbing the side of her head after getting flickered by her big brother suddenly. "Stop thinking nonsense!" He scold her lightly guessing her thoughts.
The girl turned and and puffed her cheeks in an offended manner, "It's my 25th birthday today, vai! You should kiss me and hug me and wish me happy birthday, and also give some amazing gifts! But you're beating me, brother? How could you be so heartless with your only little sister?"
She complained making a pitiful appearance as if she was bullied by Rishi. The man just shook his head and ignored her antics, he checked her temperature once before examining if the redness had lessened or not.
Sitara felt more annoyed after getting ignored and wanted to step down, but with one death glare from the man she quit the thought and sat on the bed grumpily.
"Good morning sweetie heart, wish you a very happy 25th birthday!!" Raghav, Rudrick, Kushal & Charlie wished her in unison resulting her to snap her head towards them.
The gloomy expression turned into immense happiness as she heard the wish, jumping down from the bed she embraced her second brother first, then all her friends.
"You guys stayed here for the whole night with me?" She asked expectantly with her bright & shining eyes.
They nodded together, "Yeah, do you like the decorations?" Charlie still asked although already knowing the answer.
The girl jumped up & down in excitement, "Yess, I love it!"
But as her body was week, her head spinned and balance shook resulting her to fell down, but with the quick response of the two brothers of her she didn't fell down.
They sat her down on the bed instantly, "Stop jumping around!" She was scolded again.
Knock! Knock!
A soft knock on the door turned everyone's attention towards the door, a maid was standing at the doorway with a medium sized box in her hand.
"What's the matter?" Raghav asked her while gazing at the box.
The maid was contemplating nervously, but then talked, "Th.. this box is for young miss!"
She held it out on her hand, Charlie walked towards her and accepted it furrowing her brows, "Who delivered it?"
"Aah, a delivery boy. He arrived yesterday at midnight, but nobody allowed him to enter inside, so he waited for the entire night outside and just now he was finally permitted to enter inside—"
"What? Waited whole night?!" Sitara asked in bewilderment. They looked at each other in surprise while listening everything from the maid.
Sitara felt strange, "Whole night he waited just to deliver this box?" She asked again, but the maid nod in confirmation.
She took the box from Charlie to see if there's any name of the sender, but as expected, no name or nothing was written there. "Who send this? Are you sure it's for me?!"
"Yeah, young miss! He said that only you should open the box. There's something else also...!" She said hesitantly while showing the flower bouquet & a box of desert which another of the maid was holding.
Sitara felt her eyes widened as she looked at the flowers and the brand name on the box. "T.. this are my favourites!!"
