Chapter 3

She woke up two days later in the hospital; her husband was being treated at the same place. He was in critical condition, but would survive. The police came to interrogate her, but she did not answer a single question they asked; she just kept looking at them like a zombie. The doctors informed the police that she was suffering from post traumatic shock and that there was a chance that she would never speak or move again, and might spend her life like a vegetable.

The court could put her for a trail because of her mental condition, so it ordered for her to be sent to a mental rehabilitation centre, until she was fit for a trial. The few relatives that Parvati had decided to send her to the city, far away from her husband; they knew that once he got well he would not spare her life, whether she was sane or insane.

At the rehab centre, days and months rolled on by, but Parvati's condition showed no signs of improvement. She continued to live in a vegetated state, and spent her days sitting on a wheel chair, staring out of the window in the recreation room of the rehab centre, until one of the nurses came and wheeled her away to her room and shifted her onto her bed.

She had to be fed and cleaned every day with the help of the nurses, and many times would go without food for a day or two because of the neglect of the staff. But she didn't complain, she couldn't complain even if no one took care of her, ever. There was no life in her, only an empty body, which its soul had abandoned the day her daughter died. But fate had yet to deal one last card on her table; salvation.

The first time Parvati heard that sweet innocent laughter, a tiny spark ignited inside of her and for the first time months, she deliberately turned her head ever so slowly, looking away from the window, towards the source of the sound. Her eyes had become weak, and by the time she fixed her gaze in the direction of the sound, all she could see was a faint outline of a girl and a boy walking away in a distance.

She tried to call out to stop them, but her mouth did not respond to her command and she ended up with quivering her lips, like one does when one is reciting a verse of silent prayer. From that day on things began to change for Parvati, some for better, some for worse.

She had nightmares every night about her daughter, every night her daughter would come in her dream wearing the same wedding dress she had on, the day of her marriage. Her daughter would have the same white bed sheet tied around her neck, and would call out, ‘Mother why didn't you help me mother? You could have saved me, why did you let me die mother, why?’
