After Reena left for her home, I went to the hospital canteen for dinner. Then I called Meenu to inform her that Reena had gone to her home as Ritu was alone there. I also apprised Meenu about the condition of Ashok and that I will have to stay in the hospital overnight as Ashok may be shifted back to room from ICU anytime in the night. Meenu thanked me for helping her sister in such a difficult time.
I then lay on the bed and started thinking about the happenings of the evening like a dream come true and slept. I woke up at around 2 AM hearing the landline phone of the hospital room ringing. I picked it up. It was from the ICU and the nurse there called me to shift Ashok from the ICU to the room.
I went to ICU. I thought Ashok came back to a conscious state and that is why the hospital staff wanted him to shift. But I was shocked to see Ashok lying on the ICU bed still unconscious. I was seeing him after many years. Illness has made him very weak and almost lifeless.
I asked the nurse, "Why do you want to shift him to the room in an unconscious state?"
The nurse replied, "I can't tell you the reason. If you want to discuss it, please meet Dr. Dhingra sitting in the room next to the ICU."
I went to the doctor's room. He told me, "I know the condition of the patient is serious and he needs to be kept in ICU for at least the next 1 week. However, the charges for keeping the patient in ICU are 5 times more than the room. The patient's wife requested us to keep the patient in ICU only if utmost necessary as their financial condition is not good. As the patient has been cured in the hospital since the hospital opened 4 years back and he has been admitted to ICU first time, we will charge ICU for the last 6 hours at the same rate as the room."
I was not aware of their financial condition or anything about them as Ashok was a reserved type of person. I only knew that they were never rich, and recently shifted from a 2 to 1 BHK rented apartment that too in an ordinary locality giving some hint of their deteriorating financial situation. He never invited us or visited us despite living so close to Delhi. Reena used to call Meenu very rarely for a few minutes.
However, Tanya was in constant touch with Ritu through emails and they used to exchange family pictures frequently. From those pictures only, I know that Ritu was developing very fast and looked very sexy with nicely shaped breasts and hips. She looks at least 2 years older than her age. In most of the pictures, Reena and Ritu were together. They look like sisters rather than mom-daughter.
Some of these pictures have both Reena and Ritu together wearing tight jeans and T-shirts giving a full idea of their figures. In those pictures, Reena used to look more sexier due to the presence of Ritu. Looking at these pics, one could have an immediate idea that Ritu's hips and boobs are hardly 2 inches smaller than those of Reena. I have transferred these pics to my mobile and use them during masturbation in my shop's toilet by rubbing my hard dick on them.
