Chapter 48 - I am dying

Hope decided that he would talk to his father .So he finally returned and his father asked," So you are finally here." Hope requested him," Please dad, just tell me ,why do you want her?She is so innocent. Whats her fault?" His dad said," OK ,I will answer your every question just come with me ." Hope then agreed to go with his dad.

They reached a strange place and then his dad showed him the way to enter the most secret room of the apartment. Hope was totally surprised for such a place where no one could easily come. Finally ,his dad asked him to open the door so he opened it and saw that a patient was lying down on a bed .He looked around and found that the setup looked as if it was a room of hospital .

Hope was perplexed so he asked to his dad," What is this dad?Who is she?What happened to her ?What have you done to her?Are you a criminal?" His dad got emotional and finally he said," She is your mother." Hope was not accepting the words his dad just said. Hope looked suspiciously at his dad and he was unable to react .His dad came close to him and said ," She is your mother ,my son ."

Hope just looked at the lady and went close to her .Her whole body was burnt and only upper portion was quiet good .Hope was just numb and was weeping automatically. Hope was so happy to see her alive that he started laughing with tears. He looked at his dad with emotional look and said ," Dad, mom is alive .Is it real ?I can't believe it. Its a miracle dad. Thank you so much dad .I can't express how much I am happy ." His dad went close to him and hugged him.

He said ," This is real my son. She is alive ." Hope asked him ," Why did you lie me ?" His dad said ," She is just respiring my son but she is all dead . Artificially she is alive but not really. I wanted to surprise you by making her totally alive ." Hope didn't understand anything .So his dad took him to the doctor who was treating his mother.

Now the doctor informed to Hope that his mother was all dead and by using artificial means she was just respiring. But she would soon die properly as her organs were all dead and needed new transplantation. If soon organ transplantation couldn't implemented then there would remain no way else to save her. When Hope heard that he became sad.

Hope requested the doctor to save his mother .He said ," Please doctor just save her . Do anything you can but I want her alive . What is the issue ?Is donor the issue ?I am ready to donate my organs to my mother .But please I beg you ,I want her alive ." His dad consoled him and then he took him from there. Hope hugged his dad and asked ," Dad ,I want her alive ." His dad said," Do you really want your mother to be fine ?" He nodded.

His dad now explained ," Your mother is a mermaid and her organs are unmatched with humans . Her organs are damaging day by say and soon they will be damaged totally . So we need a donor ." Hope looked at his dad as if he got to know everything. His dad asked ," I hope now you understand everything. The donor must be a mermaid. The only option we have is Shine ."

Hope never expected this .He never thought that any day he would fall in such condition where any option he would pick either he was going to be hurt. Hope just stood up and went to his mother .He stared at her and then he kissed at her forehead and whispered ," I missed you mom. I missed you so much .I love you ." Then he went from there without even looking at his dad.

His dad followed him and finally he found him sitting under a big tree .He went to him and said ," Your dad is not a criminal ,my son. But everything is fair in love and war and I love her the most .I can't lose her." Hope was just listening at his dad but wasn't saying anything. Finally, Hope said ," Dad,Isn't it wrong to kill someone ?She is a mermaid but she has a long life ahead. Please dad find another way but its wrong." His dad said ," OK so bring me another mermaid if you can't see her in pain."

Hope was just upset and he went from there .He locked him in his room and started messing things here and there in frustration. He was totally blank .He was unable to make any sense .He thought a lot and even searched in Google .He just tried everything he could do .But he was still confused . All the memories with his mother and an innocent face of that mermaid along with lots of cute moments were roaming around his mind and he was just getting more and more confused.

He went to his dad so that he could talk to him deeply about it but he saw that his dad was sleeping and was hugging a photo .When he picked that photo he saw that it was his mother's photo. He didn't disturb his dad and just went from there .He was so much frustrated that he thought that death would be the best solution but at the same time he thought that he was actually dying due to heart problem so why to kill himself painfully.

He was sitting somewhere alone away from the crowd at the peaceful place . An old man came to him and asked ," What happen my child ? Why are you serious?" Hope ignored that man and now that man again said ," I am dying, my child . Can you please talk to me because my own children are busy at their own life and no one cares for me." Hope felt so bad and now he said ," I am so sorry grandpa but why are you saying that you are dying ?" The old man said ," I am an old person and I have got so many things which I required with my life. I got all the love ,care ,support and I have even faced many obstacles and learnt lessons .Now finally I entered to ageing and right now I am done with everything .So the last thing which I haven't experienced yet is death so I said that I am dying.
