Narika: The Ghost Bride-Chapter 42 - Forty-Two:In The Name Of Love.
Alex sat down across her on the sick bed, with his right hand holding her left one’s so lightly, so as to not stop the flow of the IV that was connected to her hand.
He said nothing for a few minutes, he was speechless. All he did was to watch the slow rising and falling of her chest, to see that she was progressing day by day.
He’s glad, if anything. He could see for himself that she’s been gaining weight in all the right places, unlike how unhealthy she was looking since after she had run away from home, with the idiot that was now dead.
Nothing gave him much joy than to see Jason bury his son, like the criminal he was who had absconded with his daughter.
They knew better than to mess with him, and his family. Although, he knew that he was partially at fault for her running away that night with Jason’s son, Adrik.
If he hasn’t pressured her into getting married to Blake, maybe...just maybe she won’t be lying down here breathing with the support of oxygen, with no idea when exactly she’s going to wake up.
He might have been a bad father to her, but that doesn’t mean that he loathes her. She’s the last original standing bloodline he had, unlike Adrian, the illegitimate child that was giving him quite the headache nowadays.
He had come to believe that his first son, Nelson Singh, had probably died of hunger with the Indian woman he had fallen in love with, to go against his wishes and choose her.
Nelson was his mini me, a full definition of the second Alex Singh. Brilliant with a promising future that was ruined in the name of love.
Love?
He had no explanation for that, because if it was up to him he would have proved to his son that love, was nothing but a weakness of man.
Nelson would have been the ideal son, that would have brought Jason’s daughter to him, without a second though unlike Adrian who was getting soft, and it’s all because of Camille.
His children were nothing but dimwits, he trained them better to live up to their full name. But his household started shivering when Nelson abandoned his birthright for love. Polina escaped with the enemy because she’s in love with him, and then the last of them all, who he thought should have learned from what had happened, was wasting time with some gold digger.
Where did I go wrong?
He whispered to himself, apart from his political career that meant a lot to him. He didn’t want to lose his face as a father, that’s why he had taken Polina away and kept the secret of her still being alive away from her brother, Adrian.
He hasn’t sat to think of the fact that Nelson’s might still be alive, even if he was? He would have come back home, and joined hands with him just so they could avenge her death.
The two had been inseparable since they were kids, and his late wife had done nothing but make them weak and soft, unlike what he wanted his children to be.
He let out a tired sigh, before taking one last look at the sleeping Polina. At this rate she should be called the sleeping beauty.
Firstly, he had been frustrated to the point that he thought that she was pretending, and had planned with other doctors before Doctor Max, to keep it a secret that she had awakened.
But no! He had Doctor Max at a tight end, he wouldn’t want to lose his life just like the others, and also his wife and son. So, she wasn’t pretending, she’s just in a coma, a non ending coma.
"Come," He gestured to Doctor Max, after kissing Polina’s cheeks and stood in an approach to leave."Any progress lately?"
"I’m afraid there’s..." Doctor Max tried saying to his next of his knowledge, but what he didn’t see next was him taking the gun from one of the guards that stood outside Polina’s door and pointed it at him.
"What exactly have i been paying you for, since you can’t do your job properly huh?!" He demanded in a pissed off tone, he could feel a pounding headache at the back of his head. Fuck! He needed rest, but he can’t sleep when his heart isn’t at rest.
"To be hon..est Mr. Singh, this is unlike any case i have dealt with. She’s okay, everything is quite al..right with her, but it seems like she isn’t willing to wake up."Doctor Max stuttered.
"Then you wake her up!"
"That’s against my capability to force an impulse when the mind isn’t willing" He bluntly replied. " She might die!"
"Then you die too, I don’t care how you do it. Get my child to open her eyes soon, you get that?!" Alex yelled, before palming his temple which made him stumble backwards.
"Boss,"Cain rushed to his aid, but he pushed him away from him, before stepping forward to grab Doctor Max by his throat.
"One month, I give you one month to do something. You don’t want to see me pissed off, and you have been one lucky fellow to have survived longer than the others before you, so try being lucky one more time. One month, that’s all you got.’’He told him, patting his face harshly before pushing him away, and moving out for his car. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Cain closed the door after him, and watched him take out a cigarette to which he grabbed a lighter from his pocket, and lighted it up for him.
"She will be awake soon," Cain assured him, for the first time he said something that was reasonable.
"I know, but keep your eyes on him and his family. I can’t have that motherfucker snitching on me, and letting everyone know that Polina is alive." He said lastly to which Cain nodded his head.
Once again, Jay started the car and this time around. They were heading home so he could take a deep nap even if it’s just for a few minutes.
