Bhawana POV:- When I got a call from my mother's phone, I was happy. I knew my parents went on the date. I picked up the call immediately. " Hello! " I said. " Hello, am I talking to Ms. Bhawana? " An unknown person asked. Her voice made me frown but I decided to answer her. " Yes, I am. May I ask who are you? Why do you have my mother's phone? " I asked. " Miss, I am talking from City Hospital. Your father and mother had an accident. Please come as soon as possible. " The other person replied, which made me a shock to the core. It took me all my strength to calm myself down. I looked at Mr. Knight, who looked at me with confusion. I told him I need to go and dropped him at the principal's room. I didn't explain the principal mam anything but told her it was very urgent. She understood and let me go. After coming out of the room, I ran as fast as towards my car and went to the city hospital. After parking my car, I ran to the reception room and asked, " Can you tell me where is Mr. Raghu and Gauri Tripathi? " " Please go to your left at the end of the hall, they are at ICU numbers 101 and 102. " The nurse replied, and I went to the ICU. As soon as I reached the room, I was shattered to see their state. The paramedical team is trying to do its best. One doctor came out of my mother's room. He looked senior. He looked at me and asked, " Are you their daughter? " I nodded immediately. He sighed and said, " Miss, I know it is going to be difficult for you. But there are some complications with your parents. Your father had a weak heart and suffered from diseases. It could be so dangerous if we did the surgery right now. A for your mother, your mother had high bleeding time and clotting time, which could affect if we perform the surgery right now. Also, these surgeries are expensive. I calculated everything, it is going to take 1 crore and 50 lakh rupees. So, you have only a day to arrange the money for your parent's surgery. " It feels like the ground snatched from my feet. I fell on the floor with a thud. The doctor patted my shoulder and went back to their room. He simply told me to arrange the money. But the question is how. How am I going to such a huge amount? I don't even know how dad saved the money. He always told me to hear them out. But I always replied, " I know you both are here with me. Why do I need to listen to where you are putting your savings? " Now, I am regretting not listening to them. Wait! I can call dad's shops and tell them to send the money here. I thought and smiled. I immediately called uncle Bharat. He is the accountant of the dad's shops. " Uncle! " I said and heard so much noise on the other side. " Bhawana! Everything was ruined. " He replied which made me confused. " What do you mean, uncle? " I asked. " Didn't your father tell you that our shops caught fire because of a short circuit? " He asked, and I realized this time brought trouble for me. " W... What do you mean, uncle? " I asked, shocked to the core. " Bhawana, everything turned into ash because the shops caught fire. Your father went bankrupt. " He confessed, and my phone fell on the floor. I looked at my parents and cried. I can't understand what I should do now. Suddenly, I remember that dad secured some money in our accounts. I went home in the car immediately and went to the locker where dad put our passbooks, credit cards, cash, and gold. I checked the passbooks, which had 10 lakhs total of our accounts. I put the passbooks in my backpack and took out all the gold. I went to the jeweler's shop and showed them all the gold with their bill. They told me they could give me 40 lacks, and I gave them all the jewelry and took the cash. I came out of the shop and put the cash bag in the backseat of my car. I realized I still needed one crore. I locked the car and saw the park in front of the parking lot. I walked in the park like a living dead person. Tears are running from my eyes. I don't understand what I should do now. How am I going to save my parents now? My last hope was our shops which would turn into ash by now. I felt like screaming and cursing myself. I saw a fountain and a bench. I sat on the bench and looked at the fountain. I thought to call all the relatives that could help me. I called everyone. But either they cut my phone, or they refused to help me. I saw the news notification on the phone where I saw my shops burning in the fire and ambulances trying to calm the fire. Fortunately, no one died. Now, I understood why they do not want to help me. They realized it could take us time to raise everything as we lost everything. Bloody assholes! I screamed in frustration! I needed to earn 1 crore tonight at any cost. I wiped my tears and calmed myself. " Bhawana! You have only tonight to earn 1 crore. You have to. You don't have any option. But the question is how? " I asked myself loudly. " Maybe I can help. " I heard a familiar voice behind me which made me a shock. I turned and saw Mr. Knight smirking at me. " How? " I asked. " I will give you not one but two crores. But you have to sleep with me tonight. " Mr. Knight stated, making me shocked to the core.
