STRIVING FOR HAPPINESS

parents' blesings

It was Dr. Vikash's birthday. In the morning all were gathered in the hall area to greet him . Not only family members but also servants too. Except Sandhya everyone noted but not one dared to speak her name in front of Vikash.

" happy birthday brother." As usual Vidisha came forward and wished him first. But that day's situation was different from normal birthdays which they celebrated in past years.

So there was no party , no ' Pooja' or ' havan' which every year his parents held for him. Even though Madhu died still they held ' havan and Pooja ' rituals. But this year. …!!

Vikash hugged his sister and gave her a red envelope as usual. Then he moved t9 his parents who were waiting for him in the dining area.

No one was there except those three. What those three talked no one could hear.

" Mummy papa.. good morning." With that he bent down and touched his parent's feets one by one. The both raised their hands to give blessings but what they said made Vikash shocked " we wish soon you will understand your mistake and apologies to Sandhya. Your brain stuff with some nuisance it needs some cleaning. "

With that they both left the dining area and went to meet Sandhya to servants quarters.

Vikash was shocked but then he adjusted his mood and went to the hall.

Meanwhile when he went to the dining area. Manit started pinching and teasing to others.

" Poor Vikash. It's almost 42 weeks past her pregnancy. . Ashok, did you check her properly that she is pregnant or not? I am not a medical student but working with you guys at least I knew that in some cases girls thought they were expecting but it's only a balloon they carried in their womb..

If Sandhya is facing the same then.. Vikash will definitely kill you.. remember his past punishment to you.. ha ha ha ha ha…"

All were stunned by his mocking. Vidisha quickly grabbed her purse and left first for hospital. Manit also bidding goodbye to her daughter Vincy and left for the hospital.

" Children you go to your room.. " Naina told three girls also and gestured to the nanny to take children to their room.

After that she angrily glared at the rest of the house staff who was waiting to greet Vikash. Naina scolded them "you all will get you envelopes.. Just get out now.."

All servants also left the hall hurriedly. After that Naina looked at her husband with confusion " Manit was right , 43 weeks, Why didn't she get labour pain? "

" some ..some pregnancy takes more time. Don't worry "

" I am not worried for her. I am worried for you. If she died or brother will find what you did with her parents then..it's my nightmare.. please.. If she ever dies or something happens to her child you are not allowed to help her. Got it.."

With that she also left. Only Ashok was left alone in the hall area. When Vikash came back he found all were gone. But he didn't question anything to Ashok.

They both also took their leave to go to the hospital.

During the journey from home to hospital , Ashok noted driver Raghu was constantly yawning.

"What happened to you. . Lack of sleep or I'll? ?" He asked because it's hardly he ever found his dizziness during the job. So It's actually a matter of curiosity for Ashok. And he also thought Raghu said he had lack of sleep then he would tease him with the name of Leela.

" lack of sleep. Yesterday , I and Leela were busy in the hospital. "

Before Ashok or Vikash could react or ask the reason about their hospital trip. Raghu added "Sandhya .. Sandhya had labour pain at midnight. So we both took her to hospital. You all were sleeping so we didn't bother you. Sandhya also told us that she didn't have that much money to pay your hospital fees. So we took her to a government hospital. "

Hearing this Ashok was stunned. Vikash was also scared and felt uneasy by this news . But he didn't express his feelings in front of them. He didn't want to show himself nervous, panicked and poor.
