Chapter 94

She felt a bad taste in her mouth and then she started throwing up. Slowly a pounding headache started to kick in. She cursed herself for not eating a proper lunch and let it go this far and she heard a knock on the door and she washed herself up and opened the door and it was Chari’s wife enquiring if she was alright.

Her face didn’t look alright, it looked pale and drained out and her eyes looked tired and Chari’s wife asked her if she could come in and without expecting a reply stepped in and closed the door behind her. Ran her hand on her forehead to make sure if she had a fever or not and stepped over to the linen closet and handed her a towel to wipe her face and freshen up.

Asked her how she felt and after listening to her symptoms asked Diya to have a seat and she sat on the edge of the bathtub. Chari’s wife started talking, “I like you a lot, so does everybody in this family, we consider you as one of us, especially in the past few days we have all noticed that, she stammered and continued, and you bring light into this house. If you are pregnant with Pryag’s child, she stammered again, walked closer to Diya, lifted her by her chin and said, you have made me the happiest person on earth” and kissed her on her forehead and left. Diya’s head was starting to spin and she started to feel like the walls were closing in on her.
