She woke up with a jolt. A sudden sharp pain in her lower abdomen and she couldn’t even breathe for a minute. She wanted get up from bed to go toilet. But alas, she was feeling giddy.
She checked the time. It was 3am in morning. She didn’t want to wake up him but badly wanted use bathroom. So with no option left she called raghav for help.
Her second attempt to call him was a bit loud with the sharp pain hitting her again. Raghav woke up suddenly and found his pallavi in pain. Worried he asked her
“What happened? U r not okay! Where is it paining?” He thought he she was having her periods which he knows is usually is severely painful for her sometimes.
Past almost 2 years with her, he has seen her struggling even to stand properly on her first days. Although he had asked her consult doctor, she has always refused saying it was normal for her, moreover she always had regular menses.
He tried lay her down and bring the hot water bag as usual but she held on to him tight. “Raghav I’m not on my periods. Remember a while ago we just ….Just help me go wash room please” she was struggling as the pain was on and off.
Raghav stood of from bed, went the other side and scooped her in his arms. Took her to washroom meanwhile she looked at him lovingly “raghav I’m fine, it’s just I was feeling giddy and badly needed pee else I wo..”
“u wouldn’t wake me up” he completed. He helped sit in toilet seat. Upon her several requests for him to go out, he waited out as she knew something was definitely wrong as the pain wasn’t normal.
He was sitting at the corner of the bed closer to washroom waiting for her. When she opened the door, raghav ran to help her. But a dejected looked on her face, he knew something was wrong and before he could ask.
“Raghav take me to a doctor please.. I think…. I’m havi….ng…… a….” She couldn’t complete and fainted in his arms.
“Pallavi..” he took her in arms and brought her to bed only to find her side of bed with blood stains on bedsheet. He kept her on other side. Tried to wake her up calling her, sprinkling water on her face, he ran outside to banged on ammas door. “Amma. Amma please open the door. help me. Mera pallavi ….” the amount of blood stains in bed had scared him.
Amma woke up with a jolt and open the door to find raghav pacing around outside Amma’s room trying to call Farhad.
Farhad picked up call on second attempt and all he heard was “tera bhabi mar rahaa aur tuje sone ki padi hai”
“Raghav kya huvaa” amma asked concerned what she heard.
Raghav forgetting to end the call, explained amma what happened while almost dragging her to their room. Meanwhile Farhad changed clothes to reach his brother in need as soon as possible.
When amma saw the blood stained bed, she immediately asked to raghav to cancel the doctor he had called home and take pallavi hospital immediately. She was scared to tell raghav what she was assuming hence told him this might be serious considering her painful monthly periods which amma also knew about.
(Not sure how this is. Should I continue?)
