Chapter 71

The ride back to his sisters was very quiet. It was pouting cats and dogs and it was almost 10.00 PM when they were getting close to his sisters home. Akshar had called in his sister earlier since he had met Diya at the hospital. He knew his niece will be quiet disappointed but his sister would understand. He had called in and told her that he will be bringing a friend along who needed a good night sleep and had briefed about Diya. Dr.Collins had spoken to Diya and Akshar they they wanted to keep him overnight and run some tests, and Akshar had convinced Diya to come with him to his sisters since she had hardly slept the previous night nor had eaten anything good.

They both had got some soup and a sandwich from the cafeteria and she had forced it into her system and realizing that she was exhausted, unable to argue with him had accepted his offer to spend the night at his sisters. It had started pouring and she sat there silently while he drove and to break the silence he had switched on the music, he had no idea what CD he had pooped in last night and Colonial Cousins was playing. She was totally quiet and he was finding it really hard to drive and luckily the rain was starting to cool off and the visibility was getting better and it felt like the sky was clearing.

“Something in my heart just cry, you may never know the reason why”, Hariharan and Less were singing and tears started to roll down her eyes. She didn’t want to cry, definitely not in front of Akshar, whom she hardly knew, but the pain and the doctors wanting him to keep him overnight, she felt a chill through her spine and her heart was heavy and the song, as if someone knew exactly how she felt and created it for her, she couldn’t control it anymore, he tears were turning into a cry and Akshar pulled over the car into a parking lot and it started to pour outside and inside the car.
