A promise: That changed my life

Chapter 35: I will stay

Karan

"What's going on?" I asked, glancing at Kaya and Mom.

"It's nothing, Karan, don't worry, it's just a normal routine check-up." And she definitely sucks in lying.

"With an Oxygen mask on? With these energy pipes going into your veins?" I questioned, faking an amusement, and before she could treat me with another lie, the doctor entered.

"Mr. Davendra?" He calls my dad, walking into the room, "Your wife reports are here."

"What's in the report?" Sunny and I asked, out of a sudden.

The doctor turns around, "And who you guys are?" He asks.

"Her Sons, Karan, and Sunny," I replied.

"Okay, If you three will come with me to my office we can discuss a few things." He said to me and Dad.

We nodded, "Adah, take care of Mom, " I told her, she gave me a slight nod with an assuring smile.

Following the Doctor to his office, he indicated to us to take a seat as he sat on his chair behind the table.

"So, Sushma would be okay, right?" Dad asked.

The doctor let out a stressful sigh, joining his fingers together near his lips, "Mr. Devandra, your wife has a ten percent chance of living that too after the surgery, " He spoke, showing concern.

"I am sure Mom will never agree to a surgery. She even refused to take meds or any kind of home medical treatments, " Sunny said hesitantly.

"That's true, " Dad and I confirmed.

"That's the reason her health became so bad in the first place and now the only option I can see is to go for surgery, Dr. Patel will come to Jodhpur for a few days if you want. I can set up an appointment with him, " He suggested.

"Mom ain't gonna agree," Sunny said, sadly.

"Then it's on you, boy, to make your mom ready, " the Doctor told us.

"Don't worry, Doctor, fix the appointment and I will handle everything, " I assured him.

He nodded his head, "okay then, and one more thing your mother has to stay a day here for some necessary check-ups,"

Siya

It was very hard to process when I saw Maa sa on the hospital bed. Karan told me before leaving for Bangalore that she has cancer but I didn't know that it would be that worse.

"Adah, take care of Mom," Karan told me and went with the doctor along with Thakur sa and Sunny.

I walked over to Maa sa's bed, "How are you feeling now?" I questioned.

She slowly lifts her lips in a small smile, "Fine, but I can't say for how long, "

"Mom, don't say like this, " Kaya said, sadly.

I looked at her, sadly, "Yes, you will be alright again, "

She gives me a weak smile, "I hope so, btw, how is Karan and your relationship going?"

I blushed, "It's-Its going better, we are started to know each other, "

She nods, "Good to know, or otherwise, I was so worried about you too because you guys met after so many years and so many things changed-" I cut her off.

I furrowed my brows, "Means? Maa sa? We met for the first time during the wedding, no?"

She shook her head, "No dear, what do you think, how are your parents and we decided to arrange your marriage with Karan without even knowing you?"

This is so confusing...and It's official now, "I am not getting what you are trying to say, "

She just smiled, "You and Karan were good friends actually more than good friends when you guys were kids, and your Thakur sa and I were very surprised and happy with your friendship, so we made a promise to your parents that when you'll turn 18 you will marry Karan, " She clarified, happily.

"Wow! mom, that sounds like a fairy tale!" Kaya said, smirking.

I shake my head in confusion yet shocked, mean Adah di and Karan were best friends? And that's what that promise meant! Now I understand. But where was I that time? I know Adah di's all friends.

"But I don't think that Karan even remembers a bit of it, " I said matter-of-factly because if he remembered he wasn't had behaved with me so badly as he did in the start.

She gives me a slight nod, "Yes, we decided to keep our promise secret until you both get ready neither did we tried to remind Karan anything about it because he just forgot everything as he grew up,

he went to Us for studies when he was a kid and when he returned he was changed alot and become rude, " She explains.

I mouthed, 'Ohh' in understanding.

"And don't tell this to Karan, not even you Kaya," She adds. Kaya makes a balloon of her cheeks.

"Okay!"

"Umm, why tho, Maa sa?"

"Because I want to see if he recalls anything or not about that girl, I mean you, "

We three chuckled, nodding.

"Wow! Mom is laughing!" Sunny spoke, entering.

"Thanks to Adah, " Maa sa replied, mirroring their amusement.

"Yes, " Kaya confirms.

Karan mouthed 'thanks' to me, I give him a nod, smiling.

"By the way, Mom doctor has said that you need to stay here today for some check-ups and all, " Sunny spoke, "And one of us also need to stay here to take care of Mom, "

"I will stay, " Everyone spoke in unison, creating an echo around the room.
