CURSED QUEEN

WEAKNESS

Himani is bringing Saiyara downstairs in the white cotton attire., Pratyush had already made all the arrangements of putting her into ice water in the bathtub. Pratyush asks Himani to remove the white clothing and put her into the water, Himani asks Pratyush to let that white attire on her body. Pratyush resists and says that it's essential for her body to touch the water. Her mind needs to go into a deep sleep so that we can deal with the subconscious mind. Whatever we tell her in that situation, her mind will start trusting that thought. Himani removed the white attire from her body, and with the help of Pratyush, she put Saiyara into the bathtub. The moment they put them in the bathtub, Saiyara suddenly comes to consciousness and screams in pain from the cold water touching the wound. 

HIMANI- its okay baby it's okay, just a matter of minute(while holding her one arm from one hand and second hand on her lower abdomen pushing her down in the water)

From the other side, Pratyush is holding Saiyara’s body, pushing her body down in the water, asking  Saiyara to keep her calm. Saiyara is feeling pain and also feeling drowned in the water. They were sinking her into the water completely, After some time, when her body stopped fighting ultimately, went inside the numb state. Where she can feel everything but can’t react, slowly her mind sleeps in the deep form of a comma. After some time, when completely numb, she is into her subconscious mind. Slowly they start draining the cold water from the bathtub. There were only ice cubes left in the bathtub with her naked body, Shivering with coldness. Pratyush went slowly towards her head and put both the ends either side of his forehead. 

PRATYUSH- where are you Saiayara? where you see yourself

SAIYARA- I am continuing in the stadium. (in huffing voice)

PRATYUSH-what you see, go deeper my child.

SAIYARA- I….I am meeting herry

Pratyush keeps on asking Saiayar to go deeper into her memories; she starts crying when she tells about Adhvaya that she saw him kissing Rubhi.

PRATYUSH- How that incident makes you feel?

SAIYARA- I… I just feel broken 

PRATYUSH- what else?

SAIYARA- that someone breaks my bubble of having a strawberry world filled with happiness. It looks like someone built up this life for me.

PRATYUSH- okay Saiyara start taking deep breaths, and now you will repeat whatever I will say and trust whatever I will say

Pratyush tells Saiyara to repeat that “ I know how Adhvaya betrayed me with Rubhi because I saw them kissing. Because I don’t want to confront Adhvaya, so I just tried to come home, I was in pain and didn’t see that car coming in front of me. The car hit me hard due to which I got stitches in my right arm and wounds on my left shoulder”. Pratyush made her repeat the sentence for Five long hours in that bathtub which is filled with ice cubes when those ice cubes melt entirely. Then he let Saiayar’s body come to a natural temperature. He told Himani to cover Saiyara with white cotton attire. After some time, when Saiyara starts coming to consciousness, Pratyush tells Himani to help him, so that he can put her on the bed in her room upstairs. It was already midnight, so they decided to go to sleep and wait for the result tomorrow. The moment they start leaving, Himani stops Pratyush and asks him what they are going to give an excuse to Saiayara bHimaniaked in this white attire and also the broken windows. Pratyush thinks about it a little and asks Himani to take Saiyara to their room and let her sleep there, and for the windows, he will ask the carpenter to fix it in the morning. Himani opens the cupboard of Saiayara and starts searching for her nightdress. She takes out one pair of black shorts and a black shirt. She makes her wear them. After that she takes her to their room, Himani sleeps next to Saiyara.

Next day when Saiyara woke up, she finds herself in her parent’s room. She looks around. Saiyara tries to get up by cleaning her eyes. She suddenly experiences pain in her body, After feeling the problem in the body. She stops feeling sleepy become more conscious. She saw the class of warm water and a cup of milk tea on the side table of the bed. She tries to pick the glass of water to become more conscious. Her arm couldn’t be able to bear the weight of glass; the glass fell from her hand. In the downstairs Himani and Prayush are having their breakfast Peacefully. By listening to the sound of broken glass, Himani drops her spoon in a shock.

HIMANI-She woke up(giving a tense look to Pratyush)

PRATYUSH-I can hear that too Himani(nervously standing up)

HIMANI- should I go first? (standing with Pratyush)

PRATYUSH- I think you are right, You go first

Pratyush sends Himani first, as Himani can make her calmer this time. Himani went upstairs to her room. She knocks the door of the room, asks Saiyara for the permission to come in. Saiyara reply to her the huffing voice “mom, please come in.”

HIMANI-good morning baby(while opening the door)

SAIYARA-mom, what I am doing in your room

HIMANI- we bring you from the hospital yesterday night, and I want you to sleep with me so that I can take care of you

SAIYARA-ooh, I just forget about the accident.

HIAMNI- it’s okay, do not pressurise yourself thinking like this(while picking up the broken pieces)

SAIYARA- why have you wearing these fully covered clothes, its super hot

HIMANI-it just climate is changing, and I fell cold in the morning, so I wear this full sleeve top.

SAIYARA-maa! I’m feeling hungry. 

HIMANI-you have your tea, let me bring your breakfast.

SAIYARA- I can’t be even able to hold the glass of water, how am I supposed to pick this cup of tea.

PRATYUSH-let me help you out with your cup of tea(suddenly coming inside the room)

SAIYARA- good morning papa

PRTYUSH-good morning kido

Himani starts going down to bring the breakfast for the Saiyara, in that time Pratyush start helping Saiyara with her tea. He is making her drink her tea zip by zipping, Saiyara asks Pratyush about yesterday’s accident and where they find her. Pratyush told her that she was hit by the car, due to which she got all the injuries, they find her the hospital, when hospital authorities find their way to contact them.

SAIYARA-dad, I am so sorry about yesterday’s behaviour. I shouldn’t have run from the school.

PRATYUSH- let it be now! Damage is already done, now you are homeschooled for the next two months of the school.

SAIYARA-okay

Pratyush asks Saiayara to eat the daily medicine which she eat every day from her childhood and with that eat other medicines too, that been prescribed by the doctor. Himani came with the breakfast, Himani asks Saiyara that she want to take a shower after breakfast if she wishes to then she will switch on the water heater. Saiyara says yes for the shower, Himani starts making her eat breakfast on her own.
