Evil Eye
Ranjan had heard the whole thing... not "heard" it but heard the sounds and shouting... he sat on the floor in despair and sobbed... attempted to go to the second floor multiple times and returned 4 times
He practiced blasting his son, he didnt know WHERE to begin...
R&B felt her forehead she had a really high fever
R&B felt her pulse with a trembling hand... her wrist was burning hot. He immediately called a Doc... the Doc showed a good 40 minutes later
Ranjan panicked seriously " Dr Baig?" "Kee haal hai, kee hoya?"
"Your son called Ranjan" he said, he was of Ranjan's age... grew up together in Punjab
Ranjan slipped on a step as he climbed, Baig caught him, holding his hand... "Calm down Ranjan" "Did u just get home?" (Is that why you dont know?)
"Ummm... pehle chalo
Ranjan fearfully opened the twin glass doors, and rushed towards the master, his son was feeling his daughter in law's cheek
"Dr Baig" he nodded his voice was hoarse
"Are u sick?"
"Ummm...uhh...hmmm, (he cleared his throat) no... its my wife" he pointed
"What happened?"
"Umm she threw up and passed out" R&B's voice quivered
"Is she pregnant?" he asked holding her wrist
"Umm... no... shudnt be" he said after a pause
"She has a really high fever" "I think she might be severely dehydrated" he said opening her eyes
"WHAT HAPPENED" Ranjan shouted
"Ummm... we disagreed" he muttered
"Beta... tuada dil oob gaya ho, bitiya nu ghar pej do" he ordered his voice (send her back if u are tired of her)
"Jhelne di koi load nahi hai puttarji" (dont have to tolerate her) "She has a doting family"
"MR IYER KO KYA KAHOONGA?" he panicked
Dr Baig: Ranjan please sit down
Ranjan cried softly "Rabba kiski nazar lag gayi"
Dr Baig:She has a high fever she is severely dehydrated... I am afraid to suggest, (he was texting), I am calling for IV and other supplements
If she doesnt gain consciousness we will move her to Max Saket in the morning
R&B nodded
Dr Baig prepped for a injection... an emergency vehicle parked outside and a few health care workers brought things up
Dr Baig: What happened? (looking at R&B) Did she complain of discomfort? Looks like she hasnt had water in hours... cant explain the fever... could be an infection
"Send her back beta... she doesnt deserve this" Ranjan spoke to his son fearlessly for the first time in 4 years and 3 months.
