Merlyn POV

I was devastated after I heard the news about the death of my mother from the doctor. Sucking in the remaining tears I moved to my father's bed. Holding his feeble hands in mine I spoke solemnly. "Dad, I lost my mom but I am not letting you go. Things may go out of my control at times, but I promise I will stay the course and get you back from the clutches of death." Bringing his hand to my lips I kissed softly and cried the hell out.

Next day morning I woke up with sun rays beaming from the window. My eyes were red and puffy with excessive crying and my feet wouldn't allow me to stand as my body was cramped everywhere sitting motionless beside the bed of my father but with a willpower of a soldier and a determination in my mind I rose to the occasion to meet the doctor who treats my dad. I asked him the details of the cost of treatment and the surgery of my father. The poli

Stephen's POV

Eros left this world and it has been more than a week since the most sorrowful event of our lives occured. Mom went into a state of depression hardly speaking to anyone and was starving herself to death. If this continues for long, I fear that I may lose my mom along with my brother. I spoke to a few psychiatrists about her and now she is on medication. Dad asked me to stay in their house for the time being till she recovers and we are doing our best to get her out of the cataclysmic situation.

I made it a point, after I came home from the office to spend some time with mom in discussing her day. It is not that she speaks much but she still gives me an answer in monosyllables. I am happy she is steadily improving in her health.

Dad now frequently takes her out, sometimes to a park, temples and even to watch movies which my parents hadn't done since more than a decade. Ye
