I am continuing this story just because of the support I get from my readers.

Keerthi was discharged from the hospital but she was caught zoning out when Ashwin talked with her. She has always been an attentive listener but now she was not even concentrating. She was depressed and he could feel that she was not okay. She started to work from home for few weeks as her burns haven't healed properly yet. She was now losing her patience with her employees too. She used to scream through the phone even for slight errors. All of them were so shocked by her behaviour.

But the thing that made Ashwin angry was that she was trying her best to ignore Aarthi. She just fed her during the required times. Ashwin understood why she was doing this. He was a doctor too, he knew that she is going through a post-pregnancy depression. He has studied about it and some of his patients experienced it too. If it is not treated early it can be very depressing. The patient later might start to become very dangerous. He called Dr. Sarah to consult her about the situation. She too warned him to visit a therapist as soon as possible.

Ashwin immediately made an appointment with the therapist at his hospital, Dr. Singh. She was one of the best and was one of his good friends. Now he had to tell all about the appointment to Keerthi. He was skeptical about how she will react to this new revelation but he had no choice now. He had to somehow tell her about his concerns.

He entered their room and found her on the dressing table again lost in her thoughts. Ashwin went near her and kissed her head.

Ashwin: Babe, I need to speak with you. Please hear me out before reacting to it.

Keerthi was confused but just nodded her head.

Ashwin: I made an appointment with a therapist. I talked with Dr. Sarah and she said it will be better for you to visit the therapist before it harms you.

Keerthi started crying. She knew something was wrong with her. She knew she was not the same person anymore. Something was seriously wrong with her and now she was glad that he is taking the necessary steps to help her. She was scared to share her thoughts. Something was stopping her from speaking out. She was scared, nervous, and even petrified with her behaviour. She was scared to be with Aarthi. Keerthi did not want to hurt her princess. But Aarthi was craving for mother's love. It was evident in her eyes and Ashwin couldn't see his daughter like this. He hugged Keerthi and told her he will always be there for her and both will face the obstacles thrown at him. Keerthi was glad that she is going for her first appointment tomorrow and Ashwin will also be there with her through the process.

The next morning the couple left for the hospital. He held her hand while driving. It has become a compulsory thing now. She loved how their hands connected so well. She was again so grateful for HIM. Who would ever do all this to his wife? With so many being so selfish about everything in this world, Ashwin was truly a gem.

They reached the hospital on time and were waiting for them to be called inside the cabin

They reached the hospital on time and were waiting for them to be called inside the cabin. After 15 minutes they were called in. Dr. Singh was a friendly doctor and she encouraged Keerthi to open up to her. Keerthi started telling her thoughts out and she finally felt so much better. The doctor understood her dilemma and listened to her carefully. She also analyzed her talking patterns and facial expressions. The things she expressed clearly showed her that she was going through a state of depression. She did not tell Keerthi about the discovery directly to her. She encouraged her to speak out with Ashwin and that will help her drastically. Keerthi was supposed to visit her each week and was given medication to help her sleep peacefully. 

After the session was over they settled in the car. Keerthi suddenly pulled and hugged him. Ashwin was taken aback but hugged her back. She pecked his cheek and thanked him for everything he is doing for her.  Ashwin was glad that she was feeling a little bit better today and was happy to see her speaking out. He was so shocked to hear new revelations when she expressed her thoughts running through her mind. He was relieved that he bought her to the hospital today. She then placed her lips on his for a kiss. She savored his lips and took the lead this time without allowing him to dominate. When their tongues touched, chills passed through her spine. It was getting hot in the car and they pulled back for air. But he did not stop, he pulled her again and kissed her. It was a hungry kiss. After a hot make-out session at the hospital parking lot, he started the car towards their home.

Ashwin surprised her by taking her for quick ice cream and she squealed in happiness. They enjoyed their time alone and he advised her to spend time with Aarthi. Keerthi understood her mistake and nodded her head. She was determined to not ignore her baby anymore. The couple reached home and Keerthi immediately carried Aarthi and played with her for some time before going for a nap.

Many people face stressful situations in their lives. Even if we don't go through any difficult situation, people around us battle silently. Friends and family go through issues which they don't speak out. Some feel relieved when they see someone talking to them. Small help like this can make a very big difference in their lives. Hence, we should be aware of the surroundings and the behaviour of the people which will help us to talk to them.
