Love is war

Coping Type 1

Later in the evening, Adith walked down to the cafeteria to grab some coffee, on the way he saw his children wandering around the corridor, Adith approached them and asked “ Babies why you are still here, its already past 7pm?”

Dhruv replied “ Uncle mommy is still busy in the OR, it might take half an hour or so for her to be out so we are playing over here”.

Adith knitted his brows “ Where is your baby sitter ?”

Thara replied “ Uncle she just left, her parents were calling her for a long time, she must have something important to do, so we asked her to leave as mommy is still here.”

“ Did you’ll eat something?” Adith asked

“Not yet, we'll be going out for dinner, our dad will be coming home tonight” Thara exclaimed.

Adith got upset on hearing about that man’s arrival. “ My munchkins listen, its already time for dinner, uncle will take you the cafeteria , you’ll must eat something, even if your mom come out now, she must be tired after a long surgery”

The kids nodded and sensibly agreed to Adith’s words and obediently followed him to the cafeteria and placed their orders, meanwhile Adith got a call from Samitha,

“Hi Sam”

“Adi where are you? “

“ in the hospital dear”

“ I am in your office, couldn’t find you? “

Oh! he chuckled and said “I am in the cafeteria, come down”

“ will be there in a minute”

The three grabbed their dinner and sat in corner by the large widow, soon Samitha arrived and took a quick glance around the cafeteria and found Adith with two cute kids, she furrowed her brows and wondered why is he sitting with some kids

Adith waved at her and smiled, “ Sam take your seat, and signed to sit besides him, Sam sat and kissed Adith on his cheeks, Adith smiled and kissed her back, then he said “ Dhruv and Thara, this is my fiancée, Samitha”

The cute twins greeted her “Hi Samitha”

Samitha smiled and said “Hi cuties”

“They are my colleague’s kids Dhruv and Thara, their mom is still in the OR over a critical patient so I took them here to eat something” said Adith.

“So what’s up” asked Adith

Samitha smiled and replied “have a look at the soft copy of the invitations, and you know about Dad, Mom feels that it would be better if the wedding is arranged in Florida, later we can hold a reception in India. Dad is still scared to travel.

Adith looked at his beautiful fiancée and smiled, invitations are up to you sweet and I’ll let my parents know about the change of destination, no worries.

Sam smiled and said “thank you”

The kids who were eating their dinner asked Sam to join them, they had some spaghetti, chicken and some salads.

While the kids were eating, Adith looked at them with so much love in his eyes, he was so considerate as a father, he helped them to cut the chicken and encouraged them to eat more vegetables, Samitha observed the children, they looked too adorable, they had grey eyes and dark silky hair, the facial features looked familiar, she was wondering where did she see this similar face, meanwhile Dhruv's phone rang, he looked at the screen, the caller ID popped as daddy, Dhruv answered the call with great excitement, his lips curved into a wide grin,

“Dad where are you?”

“ just landed, at the airport baby”

“Dad, uncle Nevin is there to pick you up, Mommy is still in the surgery, we’ll join you soon”

“What mom is still in the surgery?, its been more than six hours, she is diabetic, she needs some carbs as she on insulin, Dhruv find a nurse and ask her to give mom her gummies or some juice immediately, run” .

Dhruv cut the call, he looked flustered and said “ Uncle, can you buy some juice for mom, she is diabetic and on insulin”

Adith widened his eyes, he knew that she was diabetic since she turned 16, hell, how did I forget and immediately grabbed a juice from the counter, ran up to the OR, and asked the attending nurse to serve the juice to Carys immediately, Carys didn’t notice Adith, the surgery was nerve racking, the patient had a burst in brain, the bleeding did not stop for a long time, the patient was on a verge of death, she was a mother of two young boys, her husband fainted out of anxiety, every one was holding on their hopes to Dr. Justin, the chief neuro surgeon , Carys knew she can’t give up, she is also a mother, she was working meticulously with her mentor's guidance, the nurse who was holding the juice informed Dr. Justin about Carys condition, Dr. Justin looked at Carys and asked her to sip the juice through the sides of the mask using the flexible straw.
