Her Second-Hand Husband!

Chapter 14: 13. The Meeting

Arjun's PoV

It really hurt me where she dashed on me and I lost my cool. I turned to scold her but she was already on the ground and was apologizing to me. I tried to help her and that is when I noticed her, she was crying and panic evident in her face. I helped her stand and she again apologized to me and turned to run. I stopped her and asked what was bothering her. She was struggling to speak out but I made out that something is wrong with her father. She took me to her home and I saw my 'Mama' (father in law) there.

That girl's dad was laying on the floor and with just a look at him I can say that he had a stroke and is now paralyzed. I waited no longer and took him in my arms and ran to my car. My Granny's home is in the next street and my mama and the girl and her mother came along. I drove the car as fast as I could and reached the nearest hospital in the nearest town. After admitting him, I waited outside in the reception room not knowing what the next thing to do was. I called my dad to let him know that I am here.

"Hello dad, I am in the nearby town. Sivaprakasam mama's relative had a stroke and I have brought them to the hospital here."

"Oh, Aju, Is he ok? Where did you meet him?"

"The doctors are looking at him. I saw him in a home on the next street. Have you come back from Coimbatore?" I asked him. He left for Coimbatore after breakfast.

"I am on my way. It is so good travelling by bus. You should try it once." he said.

"Sure, dad. I will be back as soon as possible. Let ammachi and Appuchi know that I am out."

"Will do! How is Sivaprakasam?"

"He is good. We haven't talked yet."

"If everything is fine there, you let them handle it and come back. I don't want you to be involved in anything that includes them."

"Dad!"

"I am telling it for your own good, Aju. We have faced enough problems for our whole life and we don't want to prolong it any longer."
