Part 18
Shilpa put the receiver down on the cradle and sat there on the sofa. She had just called the gupta household informing the servant let every one know that she was running late she won't come over to the house but directly come to the hospital. After the night she had she needed some extra time to compose herself. All night she had been unable to sleep first and finally when she'd fallen asleep she had been plagued by the most horrible nightmare. In the nightmare ridhima had been in the hospital couinting her last breath, shilpa knew she could help her save her but something was holding her back. As ridhima had started gasping, shilpa had tried to run towards her but it felt as if she was held down by shackles, she kicked and screamed to let her go to ridhima to let her save her but no one came to her rescue. She stood there helpless seeing ridhima gasping for air, as she struggled to free herself from the cahins that kept her bound, ridhima died. All the pain and despair she had felt came rushing back, shilpa had woke up screaming and crying drenched in sweat. She had sat up the rest of the night hoping for the peace that had become elusive since the nightmare.
