For my Angel: chapter 6
the wait
Lilly was in Khushi's arms…
Khushi starts telling her that everything will all
right and her aunty will be ok…
Shyam was waiting with them now, after Anjeli has
entered the delivery room
He told Arnav:
Shyam:-maybe they will opt for a cesarean, the doctor said so…
Shyam felt a weak in his knees, he was so worried
and he broke down in a chair
Arnav:-Damn it!
Arnav almost yelled:
Arnav:-damn it!
Khushi jerked…
And Lily looking so courageous, she looks at his papaa
and leaving her miss...she comes to Arnav…she wanted to calm him…
Silently, Arnav picks her up…
Lily:-don't worry!
She said lovingly, caressing his cheek with her tiny hand…
-everything will be alright!
She said, repeating Khushi's words to him…
He smiles to her and kisses her hand:
-my angel!
He said; hugging her…
They stay like that for more than ten minutes …
Khushi doesn't know why but she was mesmerized,
standing like that, before all that...
she was stupid to stand up like that…
This was the first time she wanted to stay to just be
sure that Mrs Anjeli will be alright and the baby also but she knows she
haven't the right to stay there…
For the hundred times, she was about to leave…
When Arnav puts Lily down…she makes him leaning and
whispered on his ear:
-I'm…mm…I have…I want to use washroom...
She's whispering but when Kids whisper we could always
hear that and Khushi heard that!
Arnav looks more worried and looked around…
He was about to walk away with Lily but Khushi stands
before him:
-hospitals have a public…washroom…one reserved only for women and another for only men and little girls can't enter…and
you could not enter with her…...(he looks at her waiting) I will take her!
She said finally…
And Lily left her pappa's hand and go to her Miss's
hand…
-take me!
Arnav looks at Khushi angrily:
Arnav:-why you still here, you? who gives you the permission?
K:-I…I'm…I was leaving…but….
Arnav:-but what?
Lily:-I cannot hold it anymore!
She said while jumping cutely…she can't hold her pee (sorry) anymore...
Arnav:-but what?
Kh. looking at Lily:-she can't hold it anymore!
-answer my question!
-she will do it on herself...if we...
Lily's holding Khushi's hand, she pulled her along
with her to the W.C…
Both are running…
Arnav can't say anything...
After that…
The girls: Khushi and Lily come back but doesn't find neither Arnav nor
Shyam…
Khushi sits on a chair in the corridor of the hospital,
she makes Lily sits on her laps:
-come!
She kisses her forehead …Khushi was worried; where
they are, now?
She looks all around…
Lily:-where is my paa?
Khushi doesn't answer but looked here and there…
Lily:-I'm hungry, now!
Khushi doesn't answer again but looked all around again…
When she saw that they both are back with a lady…an old respectful
lady wearing a white saree…
Khushi automatically, stand up, lifting Lily, in her
arms while this one holds her neck…
-Nani!
Lily shouted but doesn't have the time to leave Khushi's
arms…when suddenly, Nani's comes and hugs Lily but it was like she was hugging
Khushi's along with her…
And suddenly, Khushi was feeling that old lady crying
against her shoulder…
When she looked over all that…
Her eyes meet Arnav's eyes…
He was looking angry…angrier than before…
She shivered…she wanted to escape from all that but
how…
Nani:-gods protect my daughter and her baby! protect her...
Khushi couldn't but hugs Nani back while her eyes were
avoiding his severe gaze…
He was walking towards her…
Afraid, she looks at his eyes again…
He comes so near and touching her hand which is on the
back of the old lady…she takes her hand off his hand, quickly…he looked more
angry and he takes Nani in his arms…
Lily still in her arms was sobbing now as Nani was sobbing…
And Khushi doesn't know if she should ignore that and
gives Lily to her dad…
A man who was able to do anything…
Even touch her hand without her permission, forcibly
and looking at her like she was making a sin and she was only hugging that lady, what was the problem in that???…
Arnav:-Nani! The doctors here are all with her!
Nani:-yes…but…I'm afraid chote!...I'm...
-she will be ok! the doctor said so...
Khushi looking at them:
"Chote"? again?...they are insisting to name him like
that…
All this man is chote? Really? So strange…
Khushi looks at Lily, again…
Kh:-shhh…it's ok! Everything will be ok…told you,
right? Everything will be ok…you said I'm hungry yes?
Arnav makes Nani sits in the chairs opposite to Khushi
and Lily's chairs…while Nani's poses her head on his shoulder…
Lily's poses her head on Khushi's chest…
Arnav was convinced finally that…
Ok…
That this girl was here taking care of Lily…
while he was worried for his Di and her baby and for his nani's health...that Miss Gupta was helping also, he can't deny...
The time stops for awhile when he saw…
How Khushi was wiping her tears…kissing her cheeks…caressing
her hair…
She takes off the headband from Lily's head…arranges
her hair and puts the headband again in her head…and Lily was looking at her
while she was talking to her…
She takes out a bottle of hand's disinfectant from her purse…she
makes Lily uses it and then she again takes out a box…
He keeps looking…she gets out some Jalebbi…and Lily
gets excited, suddenly…smiling while her eyes still red…
For awhile, Arnav smiles too… when she bits on the
piece a big bite…looking even happier then when she eats her favorite
strawberries ice cream…
She was looking at her miss while this one was lost on
her too…caressing her hair, over and over again…
Arnav was admiring this scene…
But Nani was admiring this also…
Perfect
Perfect
Perfect
Who was this girl taking care of our Lily like that? Who
was she?
She thought…but…she has to wait for Anjeli to get well
from all this and she will think about it…
What was sure about was: she is not married
Thanks god:
She doesn't wear mangalsutra…
She doesn't put the sindor
And no rings in her fingers…
Yes, even in those circumstances, she has to think
about her chote…
She has to feel one day that he's living like all the persons
all around a normal life…
Yes he lived with Lewis a sweet moments but it was
only for one year, it was only the past…what about all his life…his present, his future???
He can't live for only her memories while he has the
right being a strong, young man of 29
years old to restart his life again…
And if he doesn't want…Lily seems that she needs a
woman taking care of her…not any woman...a mum! yes a mum!...the mother
is not only the woman who gives life...the mother is the woman who takes
care, who educate, who gives from her soul, her heart for her
child...isn't it??
Now that she's old and Anjeli will have her own
children…of course, Anjeli will be always here for Lily but still…
Looking at the way this young girl was hugging her,
feeding her was amazing…
Nani's head was full of thoughts…she can't stop...
For a minute, she looked at Arnav, sitting beside her…
And then she looked at khushi, sitting in front of her…
More perfect than that couple, she cannot find…
this girl was made for his chote...No doubt...
something was telling her...she is the ONE missed in the home...
She looks again at Arnav and then at the beautiful
Khushi smiling to Lily…
She cannot wait, she asks Arnav whispering:
-who is she?
-she's Miss Gupta!
He whispered too and then continues to explain more to Nani:
-she Lily's Miss!
-Lily's Miss?
-yes!
-yes?
-yes, nani! She's the one bringing Di to the hospital!
-oh?...Miss Gupta, Miss…a teacher…Lily's teacher…bringing...
Nani speaks to herself while Arnav looks again towards
Lily who was now in Khushi's arms…laying like she lays usually in his arms when
she wanted to sleep…
Khushi was telling a story, softly, almost whispering…
and when she looks up...she meets his eyes again...and was surprised to see some softness...
