Fan Fiction: A Jealous Rage! Chapter Twenty

                                                         Chapter Twenty

Outside, the electric blue light cracked it’s whip shocking the darkened sky; thunder roared its terror while heavy rains pelted down the Delhi skies.

Inside, Ladies and Gentleman this is your Captain speaking, unfortunately we have to cancel our take off. Airports Authority, have closed the runway due to an emergency landing. We will be returning to our parking bay and further information will be given to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding

The red siren blasted its emergency as it maneuvered through the traffic speeding to the hospital, It’s, patient barely hanging on with life. The doctor and his team were working speedily to revive the patient they knew it was a matter of minutes but they didn’t give up. The sounds of a lonesome cry echoing within the confines of the emergency vehicle.

Ram had ended the meeting and was getting ready to leave for the airport when an incoming message on his Iphone alerted him that Jet Airways flight 9W283 from Delhi to Mumbai was delayed. While he read the message his phone came to life ringing in an incoming call,
answering it, he listened as the caller didn’t even give him a chance to speak all he could hear was muffled crying and the voice said, please come now I need you.

A deathly white look washed across his face has he absorbed the rest of the message,
Vikram Looked at Ram with serious concern wondering what’s going on
Ending the call, all he said was "Oh My God"
He covered his face with his hands moving it roughly through his hair and the next word that came out his mouth was, Priya

Vikram asked with concern, Ram what’s wrong with Priya,
Ram was in a state of shock.
Please tell me what’s wrong, Vikram pleaded
Ram could barely think straight and looking at Vikram he said, come with me, I need you and they both rushed out the office heading towards the emergency.

Four hours later

Ram stood at the arrivals hall of Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport dreading every second of what was going to happen, he needed to be strong, he needed to be in control for everyone especially his heartbeat.
She walked out of baggage control passing the airport security and coming into the arrival’s hall, where the most precious sight awaited her, her husband.

She walked towards him with the biggest smile and said, hey handsome, fancy finding you right here.
He looked at her and said how could I be any place, but right here.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and he pulled her closer into him holding her around her waist.
His lip’s touches her forehead, how’s my girl doing?
Hmmmmm I missed you so much,
I missed you too baby

I’m so tired she said, I just want to go home and curl up with my handsome husband.
He looked at her endearingly touching her cheek lightly, he said, let’s go.

Sitting in the passenger seat while her husband drove, she glanced at him and asked, are you ok?
He looked ahead and said I’m fine now that you are here, but he knew within himself how much he was holding back.
She smiled at her husband and took her right hand and placed it on his left thigh, while he took his left hand of the steering wheel covering her hand on his lap with his.

She then continued her nonstop chattering telling him all that happened with the Air India flight that had just taken off when lightning struck and how it had to do an emergency landing. Thank god it wasn’t our plane as we were on the runway next for takeoff; she said.

She then told him how she hated every moment of the delay because every second meant that she was away longer from him. He smiled at her and she smiled at him he squeezed her hand still on his lap in re-assurance.
Priya spoke so much that she never noticed the silence from her husband or the direction in which they were heading.

As the car came to a stop Priya looked out and saw they were parked outside one off Mumbai’s exclusive private hospitals,
she looked at her husband and asks him, why are we here?
Not answering he gets out the car and comes around to open her door helping her out of the car.
She looks at him worriedly and says’ what’s going on, why have you brought me to the hospital
He closes the car door and brings her against it, holding her face in between the palm of his hands he said

Priya I’m going to tell you something but I need you to trust me first
She says to him, why are you telling me this?
Please Priya, tell me you trust me
off course I do, you know I do just please tell me what’s going on.
He took a deep breath in and out still looking at his wife, Baby I’m really so sorry to tell you this, your father had a massive heart attack.
There was a few seconds of a still moment.
Then she said, this can’t be true, you lying.
Priya listen to me and he tries to take her in his arms and she screams don’t touch me, leave me alone. She pushes him away running towards the entrance of the hospital as Ram stood helpless.

She rushes through the hospital glass doors and heads towards the nurse’s station please can you tell me if a Mr Sudhir Sharma is in this hospital
The nurse goes through a computer screen and say’s yes he’s been admitted into ICU, just then Ram came to stand behind Priya.

She said to the nurse you lying this can’t be him and she runs towards ICU, her husband calling after her but she didn’t stop all she knew this wasn’t true her father was perfectly fine.
Blinded by her tears she comes to a stop as she sees all her family around,

Karthik notices his sister and goes to her grabbing her into his arms and say’s Di, PAPA
they both burst out crying clinging onto each other,
Ram walked in witnessing this emotional scene between brother and sister, he looked at Vikram and Neha who were consoling both Natasha and Shipra

Vikram glanced at his friend and a silent message was sent between them when Ram silently shook his head, Vikram knew that Priya wasn’t handling this at all

Shipra sobs out loud, Oh Priya, my baby, you here. Going to her son and daughter they just clung on to each other crying, while every wet eye in the corridor looked at this emotional scene between mother and her two children, it was heart wrenching for even the hardest of hearts to witness.

A little while later, they were all seated in the waiting room when the doctor came in, Ram immediately went to him and said, Doctor is there any improvement.
The doctor shook his head and said no, the next 24 hours was very crucial and they were waiting for the specialist heart surgeon who was on his way and will be here first thing in the morning.
The doctor said but there’s nothing that you can do here so I suggest you’ll go home and try to at least get a few hours of rest.

Priya said, please doctor can I see my father, and the doctor said I’m sorry Mrs Kapoor its very late and it’s not ideal at the moment
Ram looked at his wife and knew that she needed to get a glimpse of her father so he said to the doctor, I understand its late doctor but please just give my wife 5 minutes she’s been away and hasn’t seen her father please doctor just let her have 5 minutes.

The doctor looked at Priya who was totally besides herself being comforted by Neha, Ok Mrs Kapoor you get only 5 minutes and then you have to leave, she nodded her head in thanks.

Her husband went to her and held her by her waist as he led her towards her father’s private room in the ICU ward.
Before she could enter, Ram turned her to him and said baby I know this is going to be really hard for you but you need to be strong, please babe do this for me. He took his pristine white handkerchief and wiped her tears. It’s going to be ok, I will get the best doctors and the finest treatment for your father he kissed her forehead and said it’s going to be ok baby. Just trust me.

She silently opened the door and walked into the room, her father lay on the bed hooked up to different machines and monitors, he had tubes running through his nose and his hands the only sound that could be heard was the beeping of the heart machine, she choked back her sob it was so painful to witness this sight, she walked closer to the bed and sat down on the chair taking her father’s hand in hers

Tears streaming down her face, she said to him, Papa , your Priya Left you just for one week and now you want to leave me forever, please papa she cried don’t leave me I need you so much, papa please .
Her tears, her pain was uncontrollable she puts her head on her father’s hand still not letting go of his hand please papa don’t leave me like this, I love you so much, I will die without you.

The still body of Sudhir Sharma was touched by an over emotional daughter, pouring her heart out to her father while looking from above he could see his most beloved precious child, he tried to open his eyes to reassure her it was ok, that he was ok but his eyes and mouth couldn’t move.

In his mind he said, Priya, beta I love you so much, you are the best thing in my life and if my life ended now, he glanced at his son-in-law standing at the room door watching his wife helplessly, If my life ended now he smiled I would be the proudest and luckiest father in the whole wide world to have had you has my daughter and in every birth I would want to have you only as my daughter. I can die a happy man because I know your Ram loves you more than I love you.

Papa this is just not fair she sobbed, for the first time you hurt your Priya so much, why papa, why, she cried as her tears flowed uncontrollably on her still sleeping father

Ram couldn’t take it a second more he walked to his wife knelt beside her, touching her on her shoulder he said baby please stop this, your father needs to rest and we need to leave our 5 minutes are up.
He took his wife out the room and outside the door she just collapsed in his arms sobbing her heart out while he held her and allowed her to cry.

An hour later they both entered Kapoor Mansion, Priya walked in a daze not registering her surroundings she walked up the stairs and into her room while her husband stood downstairs watching his wife disappear into their bedroom
He ran his hand throw his hair turned and walked into his study.

A little while later he walked into their bedroom his wife was laid curled up on the bed her back to him, He walked into the dressing room to go have a shower and change
Once he was completely refreshed he walked back into the room turning off all the lights he went to his side of the bed and got in, listening to his wife’s sniffeling sounds he knew she wasn’t asleep he brought her to him, letting her lay her head on his shoulder as he held her tightly and secured in his arms.

Softly he said, baby I hate seeing you this way I wish I could take away your pain but know that no matter what I will always be here for you in everything and in anything.
She rolls onto him holding him so tight, I’m so sorry about earlier I didn’t mean what I said
Shhhhhhhhhhh, it’s ok, there’s nothing to be sorry for.

she said please take this pain away, make love to me pleaseeeee
without a word He rolled her onto her back and did the only thing that mattered to them right now he loved his wife in the only way that assured her and him their lover’s comfort and commitment to each other.
And when he entered her filling her with all of him, he said the only words that had meaning, I love you baby, I love you so much.

Somewhere along they slept, and in her troubled mind and through the fogginess the message came, Sudhir Sharma passed away in his sleep.
