FATE INTERVENED
I walked up to the duty nurse and asked "is there any patient registered with the name of Roma Kapur, victim of road accident, I just watched over the news".
She replied "Yes five girls were wheeled into the ICU with severe injuries, unconscious, so we haven't got all the details. Please Mam wait till I get back to you". My husband, youngest child, and I clung together, praying hard Roma would come out unscathed. And then we heard "Mama, Papa, what are you doing here?" Turning around we thought we had seen a ghost. Roma standing there, books piled in her hands, giving strange looks. Our mouths fell open with shock, disbelief, and admittedly, selfishly with some measure of relief. Roma had dropped out of the plans of driving with her friends to the beach.
Yes...that was the best moment in our family, we rehash after many many years with Roma's little kids.
