ra took the file named Frank Smith.


    “Severe spinalpression” ra mumbled as she read the file. She looked at his side and couldn’t hide her tears as they started flowing down. Frank is always energetic and has inspired her a lot. Seeing him with no movements, made her cry more.


    “Is it because of that ident?” ra asked, unsure of what could have caused him this pain?


    “Everything here is because of you” Shreya replied coldly and didn’t regret even a percent. ra looked away instantly and took another file named ‘Jenny Smith’


    “Left side paralysis due to heart stroke” ra highlighted the part.


    “Her vocal cords are also affected,” ra stated that too..


    Shreya didn’t like how she was reading the file with no emotions. Did she change like this?

    “Mr Smith’s case is not serious. He will recover soon.” ra sat across Alex’s bed.


    “About Mrs Smith. I will try my level best. You have to take special care of her and should appoint a nurse to monitor her.” ra stated everything with no emotions. Alex didn’t like the way she was expressing everything. She is not at all affected. He expects at least her sympathy as it was the first time she is meeting them after what had happened.


    “Is this all you have to say?” He asked softly to which she didn’t even reply to him as she stood up to check her watch.


    “If you are free, let’s start your session,” ra told him as she took some sticks.


    “You can leave. I am not free” Alex replied, averting his gaze. He couldn’t handle his emotions like ra. He is always a soft guy full of life. He can’t mask his pain or put on an angry facade like ra. On the other hand, ra doesn’t want to give him any satisfaction that they affect her in all ways. If she gives in to her emotions, she will break down in front of him with no pride left and she doesn’t want to do that ever.


    With no dy, she walked away and didn’t even convince him to have treatment. Alex wiped the tearsing from the corner of his eyes.


    His phone shed with a notification from photos. ‘One year ago’. Who the hell invented this? This old photo notification would bring happiness in some cases but could be a curse in others’ lives. Alex didn’t want to see that but his fingers slid across the screen and he saw those happy pictures takenst year. He was the happiest person in the world tillst year. Why does he have to go through this pain?


    “Did you talk to her?” Frank asked when Alex sits on the sofa in his room. Alex kept quiet and didn’t want to talk about this anymore. Frank never liked the way his son’s life had taken a turn. He med Alexpletely for whatever happened.


    “Did you take your medicine? Is it still painful?” Alex asked, ignoring his question.


    “It’s painful and will never subside till you and ra solve your issues” Frank replied and turned his head away not wanting to talk anymore.


    Frank is already in hell of pain because of that ident and his mental health is also not good as he couldn’t even sit on his bed by himself. It’s been 3 months since he was discharged from the hospital but never seen any improvement in his health. The first thing which delighted him about this whole messed up life was to get treatment from ra.


    *****


    “Open the door” ra yelled but received no response from the other end.


    “ra, don’t beg. Let her do anything. I am not going to console her anymore.” Edward gave up as he sat over the couch all exhausted making ra shiver with the intensity of his words. Tears made their way to her eyes. She can’t see the same thing happening to her friend.


    “Alina. Please open the door. Let’s talk it out.” ra begged but got no response. Edward on the other hand went away from the home in a very bad mood. She couldn’t even follow him. Whom she should get help from? The only person thates to her mind is HIM. But would it be appropriate to call him?


    “Hello?” Alex spoke knowing well who was on the other end.


    “Alex” her voice cracked. Did she call him by his name? He carefully stood up with the help of a stick.


    “Alex. Can youe here, please” she asked instantly without bothering about anything. Right now, she wants to save Alina and Edward’s life in any way possible.


    “Edward left home. I don’t know where he is now. I am scared” her voice gave him the message that she is holding back her tears and is in a very vulnerable state. More than his friend, he is worried about her.


    “Rx. I will be there in five minutes.” Alex kept the phone in his pocket as he directed the driver to Edward’s ce.


    Edward Alina is known for his silly fights. But why was ra crying? He couldn’t understand the reason for her panic.


    “Did you call Edward?” ra asked once Alex came to her side with a frown to see her state.


    “Rx. It’s their normal fight. Nothing will happen. Why are you crying?” Alex asked, horrified seeing her swollen face? Alina opened the door hearing Alex’s words. She looked at ra who pulled her for a bear hug.


    “Why didn’t you open the door?” ra yelled at her but couldn’t stop her tears.


    “Alex?” Edward came inside, surprised to see Alex there. ra detached herself and looked at Alex. Did she call him? Why did she even take their fight seriously? What happened to her? She felt like a joke and wanted the earth to swallow her right at the moment.


    “What is the fight about now?” Alex asked, mocking him to which Edward red at Alina in response. He doesn’t want to exin anything.


    “I guess he is bored with me” Alina mumbled with hurt dripping in her voice.


    “Why are you girls assuming everything without even asking your partner?” Alex asked defending his friend as he feels Alina is being unreasonable here.


    “Oh really? Why are you guys giving opportunities for us to assume anything?” ra retorted as she pushed Alina aside and stood in front of Alex.


    “You guys always search for things to get upset about even in the happiest situation.” Alex threw his hands up in frustration.


    “And you guys make us upset even on the happiest day in our life. And the best part is you don’t even realise that.” ra is getting intense with every word she speaks and Alex gets annoyed with her baseless usations.


    “If that is so, give me one example for such a day?” Alex asked seriously, ignoring Alina and Edward who were watching them opening up for nothing.


    “Not one. I have hundreds of such examples and you know what? You have no idea of it unless I have been vocal about it” this is the first-ever argument they are having this lengthy and ra didn’t want to let it go at any moment without ming him for everything.


    “That is the funniest thing I have heard.” Alex pped sarcastically, making ra roll her eyes. Both of them get interrupted by the thunder sound from outside. Edward and Alina sighed, cursing nature which spoiled their cute n to make them open up their hearts.


    “You didn’t tell us about your fight?” Alex asked as both of them looked off guard.


    “I asked him to go for another honeymoon. But I guess he is bored of me” Alina pouted and turned away with a frown. ra and Alex both looked wide-eyed. They knew that their fights were always silly and had a love vour in them. But isn’t it too much nowadays?


    “I guess he is bored of you. And I know what to do now” Alexmented as he rolled up his sleeves.


    “What are you going to do?” Edward asked, rmed by his actions.


    “You both should stay away from each other for at least tonight.” Saying so, Alex pushed Edward to the next room and locked it with no time for him to understand.


    “Bhabhi. Enjoy the night alone” Alex smiled sheepishly as he kept the key inside his pocket making Alina gape at him. Did she expect this?


    “Are you not going back to your home?” Alex asked while ra walked past him without giving him any reply, having him follow her.
