Chapter 7

His friend asks him to also go home and take a rest as he is also looking so tired. But he denied he doesn't want to go leaving dad alone.

They were talking when Anshul's phone rang. He looks at the caller id it's an unknown number, he picked up the call and asks who is this.

The caller is Navya, Trisha's best friend. She informed Anshul that Trisha is not picking her calls. She further added today is Trisha's exam and it's going to start in one hour.

Anshul replied to Navya, he will give her a message Trisha.

Anshul cut the call and informed his friend about Trisha's exams. Dhruv suggested he is going home, in the way he will drop Trisha.

Anshul nod and left to talk to Trisha about her exam. Anshul enters his father's ward and sees Trisha is talking to his dad. He signals Trisha to come outside.

Anshul asked to wash her face and make herself presentable. Trisha looks at him with confusion then Anshul reminds her about exams.

Trisha then remembers today is her exam, between this chaos, its slips out of her mind.

Anshul continues to ask her to get ready, Dhruv will drop her at the exam center. Trisha denied saying she cannot leave dad alone in this condition, her whole focus will be on dad. she can't give an exam like this.

Anshul tries to make her understand he is here, doctor and nurses are there, but Trisha being stubborn denied appear to exams leaving dad alone which makes him angry. She is behaving like he doesn't take care of his dad

He holds her wrist and drags her outside the hospital. His friend also follows them and shouted what she think of herself ? She is not the only one who cares about dad. He reminds her, he is his dad, not hers. .He can take care of him.

Alya who is listening to all the conversation speak supporting Anshul

Alya: Yes, Trisha stops behaving like this. After all, he is his son.

Not able to handle it anymore, Trisha's patience finally broke and she tells Anshul she doesn't trust Anshul with her dad.

listening to her statement everyone gets shocked.

Anshul cannot believe the girl who enters into their life a few months ago, telling him she can't trust him with his dad. He is his son damnit, how can she judge him.

Anshul get angry, asked her to repeat again what did she just say?

and hold her hand more tightly which makes her hiss in pain.

And this is it for Trisha. and she jerks his hand and continues

Trisha: Yes, Mr. Anshul Malhotra,I don't trust you with dad. You are so much busy with your life, you don't even care about your dad How he is ? What happens in his life? You know last month doctor advice your dad to undergo surgery and this is not the first time the doctor advice him to go under surgery but he is just ignoring this. Do you know that? You don't care about Dad . You know nothing about him. You just care about your life, party, and music. You never asked him, Did he take the medicine. He is so careless about his medicine. Do you know that? No , right? You are so much busy with your life, you never saw your dad's pain. His life is office to home, home to office. You don't have 10 minutes of your day to spend with him . You never spend time with him I know you love him ,but you need to express your love.Dad told me your mom leave you when you were 14 years old. He told me how sad and broken you were but if she was your mother, she was his wife too. You not only lost your mother, but he also loses his wife, his companion. To escape from your sadness and sorrows, you start spending more time outside of the house, with your friends what about dad, did you care about his sorrow. You knew when your mother left, your dad was young, he was rich, he can marry again but he never did it, why? Because you are enough for him. Exchange of all these favors, you don't have two minutes for your dad. You don't care about his health. You know he is suffering from heart disease. I am sure you don't know this little detail about him . I am sure his staff knows more about him than you. After all these things you want me to leave dad at your responsibility. Today you are concerned about him, next day you get any work you will leave him alone You didn't pick up my call, why ? You switched off your phone for 5 hours. Leave about dad's health, maybe it's a normal day and he gets tense about you if you didn't pick up his phone But why you care about all these things. You went without informing him

she left after pouring her heart out.

Anshul sees her retreating figure and fall on the floor and starts crying

Cabir comes forward and puts his hand on Anshul's shoulder but Anshul removes his hand and requests everyone to leave him alone.

Alya tries to deny but Cabir signals her not to disturb him as he needs alone time.

They nod and left from there.

Here Anshul start crying like a baby,Trisha each and every word echoed in his ears. She is right, he is the worst son. He doesn't care about his dad . He only cares about his sorrow and pain. He know after his mother left ,his dad always tried to uplift his mood but he never concerned how his dad was feeling. He always spend time outside of the house ,going for trio every month just to suppress his pain but he never think about his dad. He was alone. She is right.

After some time, Anshul get up, wipe his tears, and with slow steps toward his dad ward

His friend who is present there sees his devasted condition . They feel bad for her. They know maybe he is not expressive but he loves his dad a lot.

Anshul enters the room. He is standing at the door. He watches Trisha is pressing Raj forehead and they are talking. Raj is praising her while Trisha told him, whenever feels a headache just tells her

Then they watch Anshul who is standing at the door. His eyes are red because of crying, his hair is messed . He is looking sad and disturbed.

Trisha knows the reason behind his state, but Raj gets worried and asks him what happened to him. Anshul didn't reply, come forward and hug him. He is repeatedly saying sorry to his sorry. Raj gets worried and confused, why he is saying sorry to him, suddenly what happened to him.

After asking many times, finally, Anshul replied

Anshul: Sorry dad, for all these years ,sorry to be not a good son,sorry to not to take proper care of you . I promise I will take proper care of you. Please forgive me for all these years.

Raj gets shocked, seeing Anshul like this. After so many Anshul is showing his emotions . After his mother left, he stops showing his emotional side to anyone not even to Raj. He builds up a shell around him but for the first time after ages, he is showing some emotion. breaking his shell. He can see the same Anshul, which buried inside him after his mother left.

Raj also gets emotional and hugs him back and tells him, he is the best son and I am lucky to have you as my son and he is proud of him.

But Anshul keeps saying sorry, so finally, Raj gives up and says it's okay and please leave me you are very heavy.

Everyone smile and finally Anshul broke the hug.
