Julia called the medical staff, they picked up Parth, and kept him in the operation room. In between a doctor asked Julia, "Should we start the operation?"
Julia replied, "Yes, but don't stitch his wounds, just disinfect them."
"Mam, but-" Doctor was interrupted by Julia.
"It's part of the torture, don't think of denying it!" The doctor nodded and rushed to the operation room.
In the operation room, few of the most experienced doctors were present due to the seriousness of the operation. All the doctors tried their best and came up with one solution.
They all decided to remove his damaged eye and cover the socket with a special coating and decided to continue the operation tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile, Julia decided to give Parth a visit, she silently entered the operation room, which was dead silent, and lights were still switched on. A nurse was checking all the machines, and medicine levels.
"Mam, please don't trouble him." The nurse politely requested when she saw Julia approaching the patient, she nodded coldly and dragged a chair close to the bed and sat beside him.
Julia's hands were trembling, when she touched parths hand, which was covered with cuts, and the wounds turned dark red in colour. Though Parths eyes were covered to protect from any infection, he could easily recognize her touch.
He said, "Im happy you came." His voice was soft but weak. Julia wanted to kiss him, but she knew he will never accept her again. And she had to hand him over to President.
she then saw to nurse, who understood what she wants, so quickly left the room. "So how are you now?"
Parth then moved his head in direction of the voice and said, "I should ask that!"
On listening to his words, Julia couldn't hold back her tears, but she tried to cry without making any voice, but her tears fell from her cheeks on Parths hand. "Don't cry, you were doing what you were told."
"I... I dint cried, it's just medicine which dripped from the syringe." She quickly wiped away her tears. And cleared her throat and continued.
"So I will ask you few questions."
"You should make a request when you want something?" Parth calmly replied.
"It's not requesting it's a command!" She raised her voice.
"First why did you stabbed your eyes on my nails?" She asked him, removing a notepad.
"I lost consciousness, and fell on it." He replied as casual as ever.
"Do you think I will believe?" She saw him with a keen look.
"I just said the truth, what will you feel when you are covered in blood, and thirsty for a single drop of water!" He replied to her, but in a painful voice.
She took a step back and continued, "Now second question, what is your real mission?"
"Establishing democracy." He simply answered.
"But why? Monarch is so good! People are so happy!" She yelled at him. Then the nurse rushed in and warned her not to yell at the patient, but Julia was in a rage so she slapped her!
Thud!
"Fucking leave!" Julia yelled at her, nurse quickly rushed out of the room.
"Why did you scold her, she was just doing her job, as you did!" It was the first time Parth raised his voice, and Julia was shocked on hearing his voice, struck like lightning in her ears.
"And this is the reason I want democracy! I want everyone to have equal rights so that the nurse could slap you back without fearing her life! Is that enough!" His voice louder than before, and Julia had goosebumps, all over her body.
"A... All r... right calm down." Julia convinced him and sat back.
"And lastly I will remove the ring because we no more need it on you." Julia approached his hand, but Parth pulled it away.
"No, you cant!" But Julia pulled it away and dropped it in her pocket.
When she stood up, Parth said. "Now, it's my turn to ask you questions!"
Julia sat back on the chair, and Parth continued, "Do you still love me?"
Julia saw him with a surprised gaze, "What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean."
Julia took a breath and said, "No, it was part of my mission."
"Ok, it will be easy for me to pay you back," Parth said.
"Payback? You cant even step out of this prison, and you are going to do a payback!" Julia laughed
"The time, it will play with you, and you will beg me, it is my promise." Parth chuckled.
Julia stood up to leave, and Parth said, "Please give me water."
Julia nodded and gave him a glass of water.
"It seems you realised your mistake." Parth calmly said, touching her hand.
"O... Ok, I should leave, you are having an operation tomorrow." Julia stood up.
"So are they going to stitch these wounds?" Parth asked her.
"Yes they asked me, but I rejected," Julia said with a grin on her face.
"Thanks for your favour, I will not be able to sleep tonight! And I will return this favour." Parth happily said.
Julia gulped her saliva and walked out of the room. Thinking did she did the right thing?
