Hey everyone! I am back with one more OS, this one is based off the current track. I haven't written parallel to the show and this is probably the only time I think I will ever do so,Before you read this, I just want to say I haven't been watching the show for a while now and this is based of my knowledge of happenings based of WUs. Hope you all enjoy this one!
P.S. I just to add I have written a small OS on the aftermath of earthquakes and natural disasters, but whatever I have written is no where near the real shock and trauma faced after such incidents. The feelings that come along with such tragedies cannot be described...
~~||The Aftermath||~~
"When Adi took the wrong medicine." He said as she had placed her hand on his shoulder.
"When I caught Adi reading suicide articles." He stared blankly out the window.
"When you disappeared with Ruhi and I had to go to the morgue and identify a woman's and child's body." He continued.
"When Shagun took the kids." He said further as she remained silent.
"And then the earthquake." He finished reliving all the moments he would have lost his family.
"Raman..."
He looked at her and his tears running down his cheeks. She wiped them off as he engulfed her into a crushing hug.
"I can't handle it anymore."
"You won't have to ever again."
"Everything would have ended right there." He cried.
"We're all fine." She stroked his back consoling him, but even she knew it was almost impossible to forget what he had gone through.
Their kids were missing and he found them screaming in the aftermath of an earthquake for their Ishima. He had frantically searched for her in the whole pile of debris that the earthquake had left behind. He wanted to cry, but his tears had refused to fall for he had to be there for his kids. His knees were giving away, but he refused to give away as he tried to look for his wife... He just wanted to give up, but he couldn't because his family needed him. Now when everyone was almost over the shock, it was his turn to let go off all he had held back.
"My life would have lost all its purpose without the three of you." He continued sobbing on her shoulder.
She pulled him out of the hug and slowly walked him to their bed. She had him sit down as she handed him some water to calm him down. His hands shook as he reached for the water and she helped him sip some with her own hands letting him be. She went and sat against the head board and he placed his head on her lap. He cried and mumbled his fears and worries to her as she listened to his every word not saying anything because she knew it wasn't right to stop him, he needed to let it out so he could have some peace inside, so all she did was pat his head and listened. He soon fell asleep and holding onto her hand as he mumbled the names of their children and her. As his murmuring came to a stop and his grip on her hand loosened, she waited for a few minutes before she carefully took his head off her lap and place it on the pillow. She covered him with a blanket and ran her hand through his hair just watching him sleep and make sure he was okay.
She got up and walked over to the window and remembered his each word before falling asleep. This had been going for days now and only God knew how many more nights they would have to see like this one. There were days where the kids would run into their room crying and clung onto the two of them as they cried and feared losing their parent's warm embrace. They both tried to console the kids and would cry themselves after putting them to sleep with much difficulty. The whole family was left shattered on the inside...
Things had been terrible for Ruhi to overcome as she witness her brother trapped in a fire moments after he had consoled her that their father would save them, and her Ishima had ran into the fire trying to save her brother while her biological mother ran. Ruhi couldn't get over how Shagun could just leave, no matter what Ruhi knew Adi loved his mom and assumed Shagun had loved him instead of her. She couldn't believe how much she had broken her brother's trust and played with his feelings. And then the worst of all, having to see her Ishima trapped as the building collapsed on her. The woman who loved her more than anyone, the woman who she called her mother, the one who raised her and loved her. She remembered each moment with her Ishima and regretted each time she had refused her something. She just cried hugging her brother as she had hoped her father would come and fix everything like he had claimed to. Thankfully for Ruhi, he had come and found her mother, but he couldn't save her from the trauma she had faced...
Adi wasn't suffering any less. He felt responsible for the fact Ishita and Ruhi weren't with their family during the earthquake because of him. He would talk to her addressing her as Ishima as he apologized for letting her and Ruhi get into such a situation and to his dad for breaking the promise of not letting Ruhi cry. Though Ishita and Raman explained to him that he cannot blame himself for something like an earthquake, he felt no better. He was already guilty enough that Ruhi had been put into the fire situation due to him and his Ishima had to risk her own life to save his. If that wasn't all he had to witness her being crushed under a building that broke his heart into as many pieces that building had been broken into. And the worst shock came from his own mother. He always thought she loved him, isn't that what all mothers were supposed to do? But no, his mother wasn't like that. She had simply walked out as he was left surrounded by fire, just like that walked out... This was the woman who he believed without a doubt, her words were the only truth for him. He hated his dad, his family, his Ishima because of this woman, and they all saved him during this crisis while she just walked off. He finally realized what family was, it was them, but he never imagined learning who his own were the way he did...
They managed to somehow handle the kids, but then Raman. Raman's breakdowns were the ones she had the most difficult handling. Maybe because he was the strength of the house, everyone always turned to him to cry to whether it was his parents, her parents or his siblings or the children and most importantly her. He wouldn't cry in front of the family at all, keeping his pain, fears and shock inside in him and whenever he broke, he would let everything out making her break in the process. And when he cried it wasn't just the earthquake tragedy, it was every single time he faced this fear of losing his family that would kill him on the inside so brutally that he couldn't help but burst out crying in the silence of their bedroom. It was the most heart breaking sight she would face to see him vulnerable like tonight since he was the one supporting them all. There were day he would wake up in the middle of the night sweating and would sometimes clutch onto her or other times run to the kids and sleep with them. And some days, he wouldn't sleep at all due to his fear of his nightmares of being left alone coming true...
And then there were days she herself had nightmares as she remembered looking back to find the building dropping on her. She only wished for her children's happiness and safety at the moment. She wished she could hug them once in case she never saw them again. She wished to have seen Raman once again, to tell him she loved him, and regretted to have stopped him from doing what he wanted as she remembered their moments in the suite right before that horrifying turn of event. Each moment of their togetherness seemed to have flashed in front of her before the building had fell her knocking her out. She was one of the few lucky ones who had made it back home alive unlike the many who returned as lifeless bodies to their now non-existent or destroyed homes, or the one who had never returned at all and weren't lucky enough to be found under the debris like she had been...
She silently prayed for all the families affected by this disaster and her own to overcome this nightmare as she took a sleeping pill to make herself fall asleep since there was no other way she could lay on her bed and not remember that horrible tragedy...
