Twisted Fate

Chapter 8- Meeting Preeti!

Nandini POV:-

I looked at her in shock. I looked at her closely and realized their facial features matched. But no one could realize it until they looked at them carefully. They looked different yet the same. I was about to yell at her when I saw the baby in her hands. The baby looked a day old.

" Did you just give birth to the baby? " I asked.

" Yeah! I gave birth to her yesterday at 10 p.m. Although I gave birth to her two days later I fell on the floor on my stomach which caused complications in my laboring time. " She confessed, and I realized why his brother did that reckless driving.

" Nandini! Can I call you, Nandini? " She asked, and I nodded.

" Look, I know what happened to you and I know it happened because of my brother's reckless decision at that moment. But I need to tell you the truth. My brother had only me. Our parents died many years ago. We are only living for each other. I may had many people who came into my life and became the reason for my living. But my bother. he only had me. Yesterday he was scared to lose me and made that mistake. So, please forgive my brother. " She confessed, and I looked at her.

I could understand how difficult it was for her to come to meet me when she gave birth to a child in less than 24 hours.

" Look, miss. I know you are worried about your brother. Don't worry I won't make any complaint about him. But I am sorry I can't forgive him. He was scared to lose you I get it. But today I am here in this bed with...(Tears starting to fall from her eyes) without my legs because of him. If I hadn't saved that child, she would died. " I stated and turned my face away from her. I wiped my tears, and she sighed.

" I understand. Take care. I will come to meet you soon. " She stated, but before she could leave I called her.

" Miss, can you call your brother here? " I asked, and she hummed and left.

Two minutes later, he entered.

" You asked for me? " He asked, and I hummed.

" Discharge me from here. I need to go to my home now. " I stated, and he glared at me.

" No! " He replied simply and I glared at him.

" What no? I didn't ask for your decision. I am stating I want to leave. " I stated.

" Look I don't want to order you. But you had your operation just yesterday. You need time to heal your injuries. " He stated and this time I couldn't help but tears formed in my eyes. I never felt this helpless. Yes, I always became a child in front of my mother. But since, her heart disease, I may acted normal in front of her but I stood like a pillar in front of my family to protect them. Today, I felt like I broke like a pillar leaving my family to face the harsh reality.

" Why the hell can't you understand? I need to meet my family. I need to tell them the truth. I can't tell them to come here and see me like this. I need to face them in front of me in my home. Please discharge me from here. I am suffocating right now. " I stated and tears fell from my eyes. I looked at him who nodded his head. He left leaving me here in my devastated state.

I cried and cried for don't know how many minutes. When I stopped crying, the door opened, and I saw him along with the kind nurse.

" I talked to your doctor. I am taking you to your home for three hours. After that, we need to come back here. He said they can't give you discharge for now. You need to stay here for a month to recover completely. This nurse helped me buy the clothes for you. You can wear them. " He stated and left leaving me and the nurse.

First, the nurse took me to the bathroom in the wheelchair he brought. The nurse gave me a sponge bath and she helped me with the clothes. I felt terrible pain in my legs whenever I moved. But still, I wear everything. He brought a pink T-shirt and black shorts along with my innerwears.

We heard a light knock, I said, " Coming! "

We came out of the bathroom and I saw him looking at me carefully. Then he put the duvet on my legs. The duvet reached the part where I could put my feet. I ignored my thoughts. I thanked the nurse and we left.

I saw people were looking at us with strange looks. We ignored them and I thought about my family.

" How am I going to meet them? "

" How will I tell them the truth? "

" How will they react? "

"Is Mom able to handle this harsh truth? "

" What if she had a major attack this time? " I shivered at my last thought.

" What the hell are you thinking, Nandini? Your mother is strong. Nothing will happen to her. " I thought, and nodded.

" What are you thinking so deeply? " He asked and I came out of my thoughts. I looked around and found it in the parking lot.

" Nothing! " I said and he came near me.

" W... What are you doing? " I asked in nervousness as I never came near any men except my father.

He scooped me in his arms and I looked at him with shock. He put me in the passenger seat and tightened my seat belt.

He folded the wheelchair and put it in the back seat, and he sat in the driving seat. I took a deep breath and gulped my saliva nervously. After all, I couldn't forget yesterday's accident.

" Nothing will happen to you, Nandini. I will drive carefully. " He stated and we left for my home.
