22 Emergency

Raj got up and told Amulya not to worry about anything and that he will contact her later, there was no reason to worry her now before knowing the actual situation himself. So he assured Amulya he'll contact her again and went out of her office, got into his car and made his way to Apollo hospital, apparently his father was admitted to the hospital but his mother didn't specify what exactly was wrong. When he came to the hospital ground, he immediately got out of the car and went upstairs to the VIP room, His mother already informed him the room number so he didn't have to ask any staff.

As he came into the room, he could see his father drinking juice leisurely and talking with his mother, let me correct that, Raj's mother Yashu was holding the glass out of which Ramachandra was sipping and talking calmly, Raj doubted if he even came to the hospital anymore, but still Raj cleared his throat to signal to them that he was here and asked "Dad, what happened? are you alright?" before Ramachandra could reply, Yashu beside him replied "It's nothing serious Raj, he was just stressed and didn't have any food in the morning as well so he fainted during a meeting, his colleagues were very scared and called an ambulance, even I was scared when they called me and said they took him to the hospital and so I called you and rushed over". 

Ramachandra was a little embarrassed as well, so Raj took the opportunity and said with a playful look "What dad, you made my mother worry for no reason, if only you took good care of yourself, my mother wouldn't be like this you know", Ramachandra was stunned and he puffed up his chest and said "You brat! I am the one who got admitted to the hospital and yet you still only care about your mother? what about me?" but Ramachandra was just joking too, he knew Raj rushed over from work just to see him and he could still see a few beads of sweat on Raj's face as he came running in. Yash beside him replied "What my son said is right, don't scold him, if only you took better care of yourself I could be happy and watch my serials by now", there was a moment of silence and then everyone started to laugh.

At this time, the rest of the family showed up as well including Harshavarshan, his grandfather, who came in said "Look at you!, I am as strong as a horse and yet you're so weak! Thank god my grandson got my genes and is like me!" somehow he still managed to praise himself in this situation, Raj looked at everyone and told them that he's going to pay the bill and other formalities and went out, as he was going down via stairs, he thought to himself 'that's odd, my father is always careful with his health, and to come to the same hospital that me and Bantu was born? something's odd'.

when he came to the first floor, he saw Bantu at the counter paying for some medicines, but that's not all he saw, he saw at the corner of the corridor he could see Sulochana. Sulochana was the nurse that helped Valmiki to move the babies and exchange their fates when Raj and bantu were born, she was the only other person apart from Valmiki who knew the truth. That's when Raj knew what was happening, if it all went according to the plot and he didn't interfere, Bantu will see Sulochana who was waking up and while offering to help her, she would get to know his identity and tell him the whole truth, then some other relative of Raj's family who came to pay the bill will also know the truth. Who knows what will happen next

Thinking of all this, Raj suddenly felt like laughing, to think the universe would plot such an elaborate plan just to drag him down, how can all this be so coincidental, it's like some power out there in the background to help Bantu regain his momentum, but Raj wasn't scared of this or flustered, he knew that the only way to escape all these plots is to grow to such a height that no one can touch him. Raj walked forward and called Bantu "Hey Bantu, what are you doing here?".

Bantu also saw Raj coming his way and responded "Hey Raj, my mother is not well right now so I came to get medicines for her", Raj thought yo himself 'yeah of course that happened', bantu continued "What brings you here?", Raj didn't want to explain a lot of things so he just said he was here to meet an old acquaintance. Bantu also believed him they talked for a little while, Raj also got to know that Valmiki was also here and was roaming somewhere, Raj smiled and let Bantu go back while making sure he doesn't even turn to Sulochana who was fidgeting and was waking up.

After Bantu went elsewhere, Raj didn't waste any time and went to Sulochana's side, he felt pity for her, she thought she was doing a good thing when she was mixing up the babies but in the end she fell into a coma because Valmiki pushed her from the second floor balcony, and even after she woke up in the movie she mustered all her life to tell the truth one last time and die. As Raj got to her side and held her hand, he told her to calm down and that he has already called a doctor to help her, Sulochana calmed down a little and opened her eyes finally and saw Raj, She motioned to him to ask who he was. Raj had to be careful here, at this time Raj just reassured her and told her 

"Don't worry, I am a nobody actually, you see that man over there?" Raj pointed to Valmiki and Bantu who were walking towards the exit but his face was clearly visible from where Raj stood, so he continued "I am his son, unfortunately". Sulochana also looked towards the direction he pointed and she was stunned, her eyes went wide!
