Chapter 22
The bustling city lights dazzled beyond in the darkness, stillness was in the air but a restless energy was up on the skyscraper contemplating a hidden desire.
Sitting at the edge of the sundeck lounger, feet widespread apart, head bowed deep in thought.
With a glass in hand twirling in motion the remaining bits of the burning liquid
While the lonely pool on this rooftop millionaire penthouse beckoned for use.
Drinking the last of the liquid, a tall lean muscular body, with a fair handsome face looking like a Greek god with his jet black hair styled short and brushed back in a wet look. Wearing a brief cut Speedo he walked up to the end of the pool an executed a perfect dive. Every toned muscle on his shoulder blade protruded working of its energy as he pounded the surface of the waters edges across the length of the midnight sparkling pool.
With the intention of clarity and sanity he swam hard releasing his pent up emotion for that perfect beauty who captured his very intention.
While somewhere beyond,
The serene lake looked calm and peaceful as the ripples of water flowed gently through. The surrounding beauty of the lush green grass with huge trees and brightly colored flowers enhanced the magnificence of the garden lake.
In the skies flock of birds flew playfully chirping across the blue skies some even settling on the tree branches.
It was perfectly heavenly, all of nature came together to create a moment in another world. Sitting on the wooden bench a father and daughter sat closely together her head resting on his shoulder, his arm lay across the edge of the back rest.
And she spoke Papa I could sit here just like this with you by my side forever and never get tired of the beauty and peace around here.
Holding his hand loosely in hers she said Papa I wish life could be simple when it was just you and me but somewhere papa deep in my heart I know that it will always be just you and me.
Papa please tell me why you want to leave me, why are you leaving your Priya and going far away from her.
Don’t you love me anymore she questioned him with a hurt look in her eye.
Priya you know papa can never leave you, touching her cheek lightly in reassurance and then touching his heart, I'm right here beta, I'll be right here always and Papa loves you so much. Papa then I am not ready to let you go yet.
You coming back with me, she said stubbornly.
Priya sometimes I think you must be the most determined daughter in the whole wide world. She lifted her face with a twinkling look in her eye and said well papa it’s your fault because you the best papa in the whole wide world and you just happen to be mine so how can I let you go. No papa you coming back with me right now.
In the private room of the hospital
Next to his wife's bed Ram sat closely, his head lying gently on her stomach while holding onto her hand.
At this moment he felt at a loss completely useless because the most precious thing in his life, his wife was lying here in a coma state due to the shock and stress of her father. It left her unconscious and now it was just a matter of time before she woke up.
The doctor had assured him she was fine, her blood count was low but at this stage there was no need for any blood transfusion. With a course of medication she would be able to get her iron levels back up. Right now he needed her to wake up from her 48 hours of coma sleep. She looked so at peace with herself, there seemed to be a bit more color in her today but Ram was totally out of his element being here.
Nothing in the world would move him from this very spot he would sit here with a vigilant eye until she woke up and came back to him. They could never live without each other and whether she was sleeping or awake he would be right by her side.
He even signed a blank cheque for a new wing to this hospital just to get them to agree so that he could be with his wife until she woke up.
nothing or nobody could stop Ram Kapoor from being with his wife.
There was talk at the nurse’s station of the Ram Kapoor who loved his wife so much. Each one drooling to find a Ram Kapoor for themselves while the ones that were married thought why couldn’t their own husbands be more like Ram Kapoor.
It certainly set off a heated discussion with the female group while the males around listened in earnest.
Ram and Priya Kapoor were the most interesting subject on the hospital floor and everybody wanted to get a glimpse of the man, the rich billionaire who loved his wife so much that he would get his own way. In the world Ram Kapoor had no care for anything else but his heart beat lying on this hospital bed, deep in sleep.
Why wouldn’t she wake up, after all there was such good news to give to her.
Sudhir Sharma was in recovery from a successful heart operation earlier yesterday. The doctors worked hard and around the clock to get him to his present state without doubt his father-in law was going to be perfectly fine but now only if his wife could wake up so that he could share this important news with her and take away all of her worries like he promised he would.
He felt her fingers move against his cheek, lifting his head he looked at her hopefully her eyes were closed but her eyelids fluttering to open. He leaned over, Priya he said, baby please, please wake up. Open your eyes and come back to me.
Come back for me and your father who’s been asking for you.
He squeezed her hand come on Priya I need you baby
Priya could feel heaviness in her, there was darkness all around. She tried to open her eyes but they were stuck together. In a distant she could hear the voice of her husband, telling her to wake up and how much he loved her.
Telling her that her father was fine and that he was asking for her she smiled to herself papa you came back for me, you actually came back. There was joy and happiness that filled her being but why wasn’t she waking up.
Not letting go of her hand Ram gently kissed her forehead, a silent tear drop slipped from his eye and splashed across her eyelid.
Priya could feel the wetness on her lash she willed her eye apart and was filled with the vision of her husband, Ram, she whispered.
On hearing his name from her lips he choked back a sob and hugged her to him. The most precious beat of his heart was finally awake. Oh baby, I love you so much he said and kissed her on her lip with happiness and excitement.
God Priya why did you leave me, I died a million deaths sitting here waiting for you to get up. What happened she said trying to get her words across as her lips with its dryness stuck together
that’s not important right now, he said. The only thing that matters is that you are awake. I’m thirsty she said, please can I have some water to drink,
sure baby he said, off course. He filled the glass with water and helped her to drink enough water so that she could quench her thirst. She then remembered her father, Papa she said and Ram smiled at her, your father is fine he regained consciousness yesterday and went in for surgery. The doctors said he’s on the road to full recovery.
That my baby I’m sure is the best news for you right now,
In fact he’s been asking for you and they’ve told him that you’ve been delayed in Delhi and on your way.
She smiled at her husband that certainly is the best news for me but I know that this wouldn’t have been possible without you, how do I ever thank you for what you have done for my father, for me and my family.
Shhhhhh he said, that’s not needed at all, all that is important is that your father is fine and you my baby are back to where you need to be which is right here by my side. But Ram what happened to me, she looked at him worriedly.
He touched her face and she held on to his hand. You collapsed while you were with your father but you going to be ok now and he kissed her gently once again.
While the nurse walked in, oh Mrs Kapoor you up finally, she smiled at them and said glad to have to you back I’ll just go get the doctor and off she went.
While Mr and Mrs Kapoor continued to be totally engrossed, looking endearingly at each other.
