"Sorry dear I don't know what happened. I was confused. I really want to go home and see you and Nikki grow. I want watch you both study and talk to you and I want to go home. "

I gulped and pressing my own emotion and bottling myself up I sternly replied.

"No! You have get well. You have to stay here and we both can handle everything by ourselves don't worry. But acting like getting better to get back to home and start working is not an option at all. You have to get better day by day. "

"But Sonnet, you are still a kid in my eyes. "

"But I'm like your mother . When I was small you used to take care of me. Now it's my turn to take care of you. "

"Ms Sonnet, Time is up. "

"Ok Doctor. "

I bade mom goodbye. She was to transferred to general ward.

Dad filled up the formalities and I went home. I was silent all the way. Mom's tears and sobbing was still freshly imprinted in my memory.

At home, I told Nikki not to worry much.

College days went by. And Day after that she was released from the hospital. At home a nurse was taking care of her during the day. We couldn't as we both had college and school to go. She recovered bit by bit. I personally took care of the medicine. I can't possibly leave it to her after her attempt. She deserved scolding from Granny and Maternal uncles. She was pleading me to pick up and that was how I became a scapegoat goat at ease.

After hearing may be thousands of nagging they left me with my ear already half deaf.

Just like that one whole week pa.s.sed and a new problem popped in.

Poor me!
