What are you saying? How is this possible, dad? A few days ago, you were perfectly fine. Jasmine I didn't want to tell you all this, as I know you love me a lot and are unable to see me in that condition. That's why we didn't tell you all this. A few days ago, I told you that he was going on a business trip. The doctor told him to get admitted to the hospital.
Jasimne started to cry more loudly and said, Dad, nothing will happen to you, Ipromise you. Saying that she hugs her dad tightly. Both father and daughter hug each other and cry a lot. While crying, Jasmine notices that Henry started to breathe heavily. Jasmine gets scared seeing this and says, Dad, let's go. We will go into the hospital, but before Henry can reply, he gets faint, which shocks Jasmine.
On the way to the hospital, Jasmine only cries and asks her driver to drive fast. After half an hour, they reach the hospital, and the doctor starts Henry's treatment. After half an hour, the doctor came out of the room and said that as of now he is fine and you can meet him. Hearing this without any delay, Jasmine ran from there. She reached the hospital room and saw lots of needles attached to his wrist. He was looking weak and dull. Seeing him like this, Jasmine was unable to control herself. She ran towards her father and hugged him tightly.
When Jasmine hugs him, Herny opens his eyes. Seeing Jasmine, he says, Don’t cry, my beautiful daughter. I am fine.
Jasmine broke the hug and looked at him. She showed her wide eyes to him and said, "How dare you, dad?" How dare you to hide all this from me?
Didn't I have a right to know that my dad is not well? Did I not have a right to take care of you? Herny smiles again and says, "You have every right."
It's just that I don't want to give you pain. Jasmine, for a while, didn't say anything, then she wiped all her tears and said, "Your daughter is brave."
I am not weak, dad. I will fight, I will fight with this disease of yours, and we will win this battle. Listening to this, Adel and Henry both smiled widely, and both of them said together, "We will."
On the other side, Denial came back to his house. Denial directly went into his room, and after changing his clothes, he lay down in bed. After lying down, he thought about his dad's words.
Thinking about all the things he didn't know, when did he sleep? The next morning, when he got up from bed and went into the bathroom, after taking a shower, he changed his clothes and went downstairs.
On the other hand, Jasimne didn't come back home all night; she stays with her father. Herny and Anna both told her to go home, but she didn't listen and stays in the hospital.
Right now she was sitting near her father and watching him with lots of love. Herny, herny who was sleeping peacefully, got up when the nurse entered the room for a checkup.
The nurse and Henry B greeted each other, and the nurse started to check on him. While doing his checkup, she asked, So this is your daughter, whom you always talk about?
Yes, she is my beautiful daughter. The nurse looks at Jasmine and says, "Indeed, she is beautiful." Jasmine smiles upon hearing this and says thank you.
After the check-up, the nurse went out of the room, and Jasmine, who was sitting near Herny, said, "Wait here, I will be back in a while," saying that Jasmine also went out of there.
She stopped the nurse and asked her, "Sister, if you don't mind, can I ask you something?" Yes, why not ask me? How is dad healthy? I mean, did he show any improvement?
For a while, sister didn't say anything, then she said, "To be honest, your dad's health is not good at all," but he is a fighter; he is fighting this battle like a lion.
Jasmine felt disheartened, but hearing the last line from her sister's mouth, she felt relaxed. She asked her, Did my father talk about me? Yes, he always talks about you, Miss Jasmine.
He always shares some childhood memories of yours with us. Listening to this from my sister's mouth, Jasmine gets emotional; she doesn't know when her eyes get wet.
The nurse consoled her and told her everything would be fine soon. Jasmine, while wiping her tears, nobbled her head. Her sister looked into Jasmine's eyes and said,
"If you don't mind, can I say something?" Yes, said Jasmine. Miss Jasmine, this is your personal matter. I should not interfere in this, but as a human, I have to say one thing.
"You should get married." Hearing this, Jasmine gets shocked. She says, "What?What are you saying, sister? Miss Jasmine, a few days ago, I heard your father's conversation with your mother.
He was saying to your mother that before dying, he wants to see your groom; he wants to see you as a bride. Listen, Miss Jasmine. Your father is suffering from a dangerous disease; there is less chance he can survive.
He is like a fighter fighting this battle, but deep down, he and we all know only God can save him and no one else. So before he dies, you should fulfill his last wish; the rest is up to you to say that the nurse went out from there.
On the other side, Denial went downstairs and saw his whole family, Asuasal, sitting together and about to start their breakfast. He sat with them and wished them good morning.
He looked at his mother and found her mood was still off, but she was smiling while looking at him. He took a breath of relief seeing this, and after breakfast, he looked at his family, who were about to get up from their chairs.
He says, "Wait guys, I want to tell you something." Armaan, Kim, and Sonia look at him, and Armaan asks, What do you want to say? Denial takes a deep breath and says, "I am ready to get married."
