By the time they got to the ward, Monica was fast asleep and the doctor was standing by the side with Monica's file in hand.
"Mrs Mitchell, this child won't survive if this continues. Right from birth, she has had a very fragile mentality and if this continues, she may suffer from severe brain damage. Think about what I told you okay..." This were the only words Mr Mitchell heard when they entered before the doctor left.
In Beauty mansion, Clara was crying her eyes out while Mr Claire sat by her side trying to comfort her.
"How can this be?? How can Martha leave me like this?? How can my dearest Monica depart this world at such a young age? Why does things have to be like this...why..."
'Sob sob'
"How wish i was there...how which I was with my best friend on one of the best and worst days in her life... We were meant to stick together through thick and thin. Why couldn't I protect my friend? Why... why" Clara cried.
"Stop this lara... you know your health isn't the best right now. And what were you saying about being there, what would you have done with a high fever like this, would you have swallowed the bomb to prevent the explosion, or would you take Martha and Monica in your hands and teleport them to safety."
"I can understand how you are feeling love, but please don't do this to yourself. Don't aggravate your fever by crying so much. I'm sure Martha will be scolding me wherever she is for not taking care of you. If not for me or yourself, please do this for Martha okay..." Mr Claire comforted Clara with a sad voice.
It isn't an easy news to accept but one has to pull through by the end of the day. Mr Claire is very pained seeing his beloved wife in this miserable condition despite her poor health.
"But why darling...why do they have to suffer so much?? Why is the world so unfair to them??" Clara shoked on her sob. "Its alright, its alright. She's in A better place. A place away from the evilness of this world. She will forever live a healthy and blissful life up there so stop doing this to yourself." Mr Claire said in a half pleading and half helpless state.
"O-k-k-a-y" Clara stammered. Mr Claire then supported her up to her room and only let after she was fast asleep.
'Sigh...' He picked up his phone to call the last number he spoke to and hurried outside in order to avoid the listening ears of men.
"Hello"
"Mr Claire, how is your wife now" Mr Mitchell asked.
"She's fast asleep now. But this can't continue, her body wont be able to take it." He replied sorrowfully.
"I don't think we should inform her of Monica's Condition. It would be the best for her right now."
"Also, we are planning to hypnotise Monica..."
"What??"
"Listen to me." Mr Mitchell cut in.
"Her condition is getting worse by each passing minute. If she is left like this, I'm afrain she's going to suffer from severe brain damage with dire consequences." He concluded.
'Sigh...' " Fine. As long as you promise a bright future for her, you have my consent. I have watched Monica grow up to be what she is today so please give her the best possible life. "
"Even without you telling me, she will still live like a princess. We plan on moving to a far away country and adopting her without her knowledge."
"Sure. Its for the best." Mr Claire said.
"Alright now. Take good care of your wife. And also your daughter, she's going to need it."
"Ok-- wait what??" Me Claire screamed out hearing the end of his statement. What does he mean by 'take good care of his daughter'? Is Priya sick?? He questioned himself.
But soon, he found out the reason for those words as less than a month later, Priya came back home in tears.
"What happened sweetie, why are you crying?? Did someone trouble you?" Clara rushed to the living room when she heard Priya's sob from the kitchen.
"Mom..." Priya called out as she dashed into Clara's arm. "What happen sweetie, who made you cry so much?? Tell daddy who it was and I'll make him kneel before you and apologise." Mr Claire said as he walked towards Priya.
"Dad...its Chris 'sob sob' he left Dad, he left me..." She cried louder.
"What do you mean by 'he lef-" Mr Claire stopped halfway through his sentence as realization dawned on him. They left so quickly?? No wonder he said to look after Priya, turns out they were a thing. Mr Claire chuckled.
"Dad... Why are you laughing??" Priya screamed out as she cried even louder. "Dear... Go back to the study. This is girls talk, you aren't welcome here" Clara said before pushing Mr Claire towards the stairs.
"Common sweetie, lets go to the garden." Clara pulled Priya to the garden after requesting nanny to serve them juice and snacks in the garden. There was this knowing smile on their way to the garden and Mr Claire who was on his way up couldn't help but smile seeing his wife with a bright smile. I hope this anime never fades...

"MONICA!!!"
"What the hell? What are you still doing here??" Bella screamed out the moment she entered the classroom. "What is it Bella? What is making you act this way so early in the morning?" Monica helplessly asked her best friend who wouldn't stop screaming.
"GUESS WHAT!!"
"Could you please stop screaming like a woman in labor. Jeess...you are going to block my eardrums someday." Monica said as she stood up, moving far away from Bella.
"YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHO I JUST SAW!! DO YOU KNOW...DO YOU KNOW??" Bella kept on screaming repeating 'do you know' a thousand times.
"Gosh Bella, must you always disturb the peace in this school??" Stanley who was seated directly beside Monica stood up while covering his ears.
"Sorry sorry sorry... Since you wouldn't guess, let me tell you."
"Ehem.. I just saw...MARCO AARI" she couldn't contain her excitement as she screamed out again.
"WHAT!!!"
Various shouts of surprise rang out all over the class producing a deafening noise that made Monica's ears hurt.
"Seriously...please don't play such a silly joke so early in the morning. Did you really see Marco?" A very beautiful girl with long blonde hair and cherry pink lips asked Bella excitedly while shaking her repeatedly.
