chapter 38

Elsa was restless after listening about Grandy. Gale decided to to drop Elsa back to Lobo villa without any questions. As Gale took a turn to return back, Elsa said, “Thanks for understanding Gale. I only have you." Gale had a faint smile on her face. She only wished Elsa would be happy. Suddenly Gale's phone buzzed she put it on connected to the bluetooth car speaker, which she has attached as a modification to the car.  She picked the call, continuing to drive she spoke, “Yes?" “Where is my date?" A male voice reciprocated from the other end. “Your date is cancelled, I am sorry for the inconvenience." Gale spoke, and hung up the call, without letting the man to question further....Neville was busy at club 007 with Xavier. “What is wrong Nevile? Why did you call me here urgently?" “Xavier I really don't know what to say about my feelings?" “Feelings?" Xavier enquired. “Yes Xavier, I feel some kind of ..." Neville was going to utter something, but his phone buzzed that time, Neville picked the call, “ Mr. Lobo senior Lobo is sick ... Please come fast he is vomiting blood." Nevile told Xavier that he had to rush back home due to grandy's health and paced out to reach home. Nevile's heart was throbbing as of he was about to lose an important part of his life. Xavier followed Nevile too, note wanting to leave him alone at such an important part of his life. Xavier and Nevile had arrived home, while Elsa was already present there. Neville and Xavier looked at her pace kinnaur grand dad's room, her feet and body trembling in fear of losing someone she didn't want to lose. Gale walked behind her in remorse. Xavier glared at Gale with a dark look. Neville walked in boldly and firmly without letting any line of sadness reveal on his face. While Venessa and Neevan remained struck by deep slumber. ...Grand dad coughed, there was blood splittering from his face. “a great grand child!" He uttered, and fainted Neville was already busy calling a doctor, Elsa diagnosed the situation but she waited for the right moment. The doctor arrived, in almost a time span is 15 minutes. Elsa moved to the kitchen before the doctor could see her and reveal to everyone as Dr. E. Everyone excited the room, and then Elsa entered. Neville didn't bother, the Dr and Elsa closed the room and continued their treatment. After the treatment ended, the doctor thanked her for the help. Senior Lobo was still unconscious. “Dr. E you are here?" “Yes Dr. But please don't address me as Dr. E here." Elsa begged. The doctor agreed and  opened the door to leave the room. Outside the room, Neville, Xavier, and Nancy waited impatiently for the news of grand dad's recovery. “He is fine now, actually it was a magic Dr. Ah ... Sorry nothing, everything was okay he is well now." The doctor spoke. Neville thanked him and gave him a four figure cheque. The doctor didn't accept it and left. Neevan and Venessa were still asleep, they had no idea about what had just happened. Elsa crept out of the room, after the doctor left cleaning all the leftover mess. ...“Mam you don't need to do it I'll do that." Nancy approached Elsa and began helping quickly. “I need a hot black tea." Neville added and left. Nancy helped Elsa clean the mess and went to make a hot cup of black tea. “Why is he all the time like tea tea tea!" Elsa mimicked him and walked towards the room she and Nevile stayed in. The room smelled like oranges. Elsa took a deep breath. “Grandy is awake, Neville? He ... Wants to talk to you tomorrow." Elsa said in a low voice. “I know what he wants, he is gone insane, may be ... He is acting like a maniac!" Neville uttered. “Nevile!" Elsa chided. Neville looked at her in disbelief. “Okay okay I am sorry, Elsa! I ... Won't say anything to grand dad." Elsa smiled, while Nevile looked at her, he couldn't move his gaze again. Suddenly Nevile's phone rang and it was Elena. Elsa's heart turned heavy as Neville told her, “It's Elena's call, so I have to recieve it. You sleep don't wait for me, I'll be back a bit late." Elsa nodded and forced a smile. She walked towards the cupboard and looked at herself. What was the use of her being so elegant? What was the use of many men wanting her? When her own husband didn't want her anymore. As Neville left the room to talk to Elena she couldn't stop the tears running down from her eyes. She was hurt again. She could bt any means not match the top tier model Elena. ...Pangs of sadness hit her heart. She felt the old wounds open. She closed the room door and dropped down the window curtains, she removed the outfit she was wearing and changed into the red elegant bathrobe. She opened the curtains and the door again and retreated to resting on the bed, with her phone, watching videos of topics on medicine. Neville was still out talking to Elena, Elsa could see him from top, he was standing down and patiently listening to Elena. He never did that too Elsa before, neither three years before nor now. She felt the void, but didn't concentrate much, she only kept herself busy watching videos. After a tone span of two long hours, Neville returned back to the room. Elsa was sleeping by then. Neville looked at Elsa asleep, feeling an urge to kiss her forehead, but he was conquered by guilt of betraying Elena so he didn't do that. He was feeling an urge to sleep by hugging her, but he couldn't help it. He knew that they would be separate soon. After Grandy could walk, they would divorce, so he knew that he couldn't fulfill grandy's demand through Elsa. He controlled himself and switched off the lights, got in the bed and put the lamp lights on, and went to sleep.
