Rain. Niyonika was one of those hopeless pluviophile. She loved rain. It calmed her mind always. Rain was beautiful. The tiny droplets hitting the surface - they were fascinating.
But rain could be traumatizing too. Niyonika would have never believed if told before. Rain always made her happy. She had made numerous happy memories under rain. It was raining even the day she gave birth to Manik, to Mukti. She had kissed her husband under the rain for the first time. The day Cabir called her Mumma for the first time - it was raining that day too.
But today, the same ran was terrifying - it was also agonizing. Rain was not making her happy today.
If Nandini's condition broke heart, knowing about Manik's accident completely tore her apart.
Nandini was still in the emergency ward, her case was more than critical. Since Manik was not there, Raj and Karan had gone with the nurse to fulfil the formalities, signing the consent form and paying the fees.
It was then they heard a nurse talking about Dr.Malhotra not receiving their call. Raj had interrupted hesitatingly and the nurse was surprised seeing them.
The look of pity stayed in her eyes as she told them about Manik's accident. It was horrifying - having to know the aftermath of the accident they saw on road - was none other Manik's.
Niyonika had wailed loudly hearing about it. Ayesha cried too - for both Manik and Nandini. Because she knew if anything happened to any of them - the other one would not survive.
Niyonika's mind had went numb the moment her eyes fell on Manik. There, on the hospital bed - dressed in blue and wrapped in several bandages, plastered with numerous tubes and wires attached to his body, breathing through an oxygen mask - Manik looked almost dead.
"We are sorry, Mrs.Malhotra - Mr.Malhotra's condition is way too critical. I won't give you any false consolation. Anything can happen. Prepare yourself for the worst."
The doctor had explained how Manik had lost excessive blood. His body was all damaged, interal bleeding wouldn't stop. If anything, if Manik even survived the accident, the trauma of the accident would eat him alive. He would never be able to adapt his life like before.
Never had Niyonika expected to see her son this condition. Never, even in her wildest dreams. Her son wouldn't survive, she knew. Doctor's words of consolation had failed to convince her.
"Mrs.Malhotra"
Niyonika sniffed, wiping away her tears with her hand and stepped back from the closed door. She faced the unknown woman standing at the sound, her hand clutching a smaller hand of her son tightly who held a red colored ball in his other hand.
