Scarlet

Beside me, I could hear the muffled sobs of
Catheryn but my eyes were fixated on my
hands stained with blood. My hands that were
trembling non-stop and despite my efforts, I
failed to stop the shivering. It was taking
everything in me to produce a breath because
my lungs might have stopped working.
“She will be alright.” Catheryn said and
scooted closer to me, wrapping her hands
around me. “My baby would be fine, Scarlet.
Right?”
I lifted my hand and stared at her pale face.
Liam was the first person I called while the
ambulance was taking Cara to hospital but he
wasn’t picking up. Catheryn was second. She
reached immediately and dealt with the
hospital staff as they took her to OR. I was too
numb to do anything. After watching blood
oozing out of Cara’s head, my own senses
stopped working. There was nothing in my
mind, except her angelic face that was dripping
with blood.
“She will be.” I said, tears streaming down my
cheeks without any control. It was getting
difficult for me to breathe but there was no
other option.
She had informed Evan before coming here,
who was coming back as soon as possible. It
had been an hour since they were in the
surgery and every pas-sing second felt like hell.
I wanted to see her, hold her hand and tell her
that everything would be alright. She must be
feeling scared and alone and I knew she
nee-ded me right now. I wanted to be with her.
I hid my face in between my palms and let the
tears come out free. In just one moment,
everything changed. One phone call that I could
have not answered, one phone call that I could
have ignored. After all, was it more important
than the life of my daughter? I was the one
responsible for her but I let her away from my
eyes. It was my fault that she was in so much
pain.
All my fault.
I was still hiding my face when I heard a
familiar voice. I lifted my head to look at Evan
who came rushing towards Catheryn. “Where is
she?” He asked, breathlessly, fear evident from
his face.
“She is in the surgery. The doctors told us to
wait here.” Catheryn told him, controlling her
own tears.
He rushed to a nurse that was going inside the
area where the ORs were situated. “What’s
happening to my daughter? Is she alright?”
“The surgery is still in progress, sir. Please be
patient.” She said and went inside.
Evan pushed his hair back with his fingers,
some dried tears staining his cheeks. He
slumped beside me on the bench, fear and
desperation clear from his posture.
I wanted to talk to him but I couldn’t gather
the courage. I wanted to hu-g him but I felt like
I was paralyzed. He hadn’t cast a glance at me
yet and I was afraid of looking into his eyes,
afraid to find out what was hiding in them.
Closing my eyes, I hid my face once again in
between my palms and prayed to God for the
safety of that little girl. She didn’t deserve any
of this suffering.
“How did it happen?” His distant voice came.
“We… We were coming… coming back from
the p… park. I stopped to answer the p…
phone and she ran to the road to pet a c…
cat. Everything happened so sudden…” My
whimpers didn’t let me complete the sentence.
“Answer the phone?” He asked in a very low
voice and I nodded. “Where was the driver?”
“I… I didn’t bring the car.” I replied, wiping the
tears off my face.
I expected him to shout at me for my
irresponsible behaviour but he didn’t speak
anything. He went silent and rested his face in
between his palms just like me. I wanted to
share his pain but I felt scared on going near
him.
“Mr. Parker, Mrs. Parker.” A voice called and
both of our heads turned towards the man
dressed in surgical scru-bs.
All three of us rushed to him in our full speed.
“How is she? How is my daughter?” Evan
asked impatiently.
“The surgery went without any complication.
We were able to control the hemorrhage in
time and most of the trauma was external.
But…” He stopped and with him, my own heart
skipped a beat. “We can’t say anything for sure
unless she is awake.”
Evan let out an exasperated sigh and took a
step backwards. “Can we see her? Please, just
a glance.” I asked.
“Not yet, ma’am. We are shifting her to
Intensive Care Unit. Then we will let you look
at her if possible.” He said and then walked
away.
I sat down again on the bench and increa-sed
the speed of my prayers. I wasn’t a very
religious person but at that moment, nothing
else came to my mind. Although the surgery
went fine, she was still in serious condition. I
didn’t want to imagine the possibilities but
anything could go wrong in such situation.
“That girl is made of steel, Evan. She will be
alright.” Catheryn sat beside him and patted
his shoulder. He turned towards his mother
and hu-gged her ti-ghtly. He was in more pain
than any of us. Seeing him like this broke me
into pieces. He was a very strong man and
seeing him broken was heart-rending.
After half an hour spent in absolute hell, a
nurse finally came to guide us to the Intensive
care unit. “You can see her just from the door
but only for a few minutes. Her body is already
un-der a lot of stress.” The nurse advised.
Nodding, Evan was the one who entered inside
first, followed by Catheryn and I. We stayed
near the door because we weren’t supposed to
go near her. As soon as our eyes fell on her,
all three of us su-cked a sharp breath. Her
condition looked really bad. Her face was
covered in dressings and her body was
connected to many machines. My poor girl, so
small, so innocent, looked like she was in so
much pain and the sight of her caused a
stinging pain in my che-st.
I stared at Evan who also looked terribly
distressed at her sight. He was looking at her
with tears in his eyes, his shoulders slumped,
as if he had lost all the faith.
The nurse asked us to come out of the room
now. Together, we three left the room and
walked out of that corridor into a waiting area.
There were no people around us so once we
were there, all three of us started thinking
about her in our own way.
“Evan,” I walked towards him to console him.
He looked really worn-out, really exhausted. I
put my hand on his shoulder but he je-rked it
away.
“Go away,” he whispered, pulling himself away
from me.
My eyebrows furrowed in confusion and I
stepped closer to him. “What are you saying?”
“I’m saying go away from me and my
daughter.” He screamed at me and I flinched
back. His eyes were bloodshot and his jaw
was clenched ti-ghtly. I have never seen him in
so much anger that I felt terrified of him.
“I… I… I…” I couldn’t form a sentence in my
defence.
“Because of you, my daughter is in an ICU.
You… I trusted you. You were supposed to
take care of her.” He accused me and the ball
of nerves in my throat became larger.
“She… She is my daughter too.” I whispered.
“No, she is my daughter. Mine and Eliza’s.” He
said and with his words, something broke
inside me. “A mother would never let her
daughter in danger.”
“Calm down, Evan. You aren’t thinking straight.”
Cathryn tried to stop him but he silenced her
with a glare.
“I said get lost. I don’t want you anywhere near
my daughter.” He screamed at me. Few people
entering the waiting room were staring at us.
“Evan…”
“Just go, Scarlet.” He growled in anger.
Rage was evident by his dilated pupils.
Catheryn’s eyes were switching between us in
a helpless manner. I didn’t want to create any
more scene in a hospital so I did what he
asked me to. Controlling my tears ba-rely, I
walked away.

Scarlet

It had been half an hour since I was sitting in
the parking lot of the hospital, crying over the
situation that had sli-pped out of my hands.
Cara was in terrible condition and Evan had
clearly said he wanted me away. The man that
I had fallen in love with, just made me a
stranger with his few words.
What hurt me was when he said that Cara
wasn’t my daughter, that’s why I was
irresponsible. No, it wasn’t true, not at all. Cara
was my daughter. I didn’t birth her but I loved
her as my own. She was the most important
person in my life and Evan’s words couldn’t
change that.
I was trying to call Liam but he wasn’t
answering. I had no idea where to go at that
time of the night. I couldn’t go back inside,
even though I was dying to. I couldn’t go back
to Evan’s house because he clearly wouldn’t
want me there. I didn’t have an apartment of
my own. I was helpless right now.
“Scarlet?” A familiar voice entered my ears and
I lifted my head. Familiar light blue eyes
appeared in front of me, staring down at me
with worry. “What are you doing here? Where is
Cara?”
“She… She is in the ICU.” I replied, wiping the
tears off my face. “What are you doing here,
Nate?”
“I was in city for a project. I arrived as soon
as I got the news.” He said in worry.
“The surgery went fine but the doctors said
they can’t say anything until she is awake.” I
told him. “They won’t let you meet her. Her
body is un-der a lot of stress right now.”
Hearing this, he sat down beside me and let
out a distressed sigh. “She is so little, Scarlet.
Tell me she would be fine.”
“She would be. She is a tough girl.” I said,
consoling him and more importantly, myself.
“What are you doing here? You should go home
and take rest. You look really exhausted.” He
asked, observing me carefully.
With that, tears flooded out of my eyes and I
hid my face in between my palms. “I don’t
know what to do, Nate. I don’t know. I swear I
would never do that intentionally. If I knew, I
would have never answered the call. I told her
to stay beside me… I don’t know when she ran
to the road…” I was sobbing uncontrollably,
saying few words between each hiccu-p.
“Hey… Hey… It’s okay.” He said and pulled
me towards himself for a hu-g. “I know you
would never do that intentionally. It was an
accident.” He said and ru-bbed my back. I hid
my face in his che-st and cried with hiccu-ps. It
felt like a dam had broken and the tears
weren’t going back anytime soon.
“Evan… He doesn’t want me… around his
family. He hates me… He thinks… I wasn’t a
good mother… to Cara.” I told him because in
that moment, he felt like the only person ready
to listen to me. “She is my daughter, Nate. I
love her so much.”
“I know, Scarlet. I know,” he patted my back
and let me cry. “He must be afraid for her.
Don’t take him seriously.”
“I don’t know what to do now. I can’t go in. I
can’t go to his house. Hell, even my friend isn’t
answering. What should I do now?” I asked
him helplessly because I was afraid at that
moment. Afraid of losing everything I had with
one mistake.
He separated from me and then said, “Come
on, you are going with me. I can’t let you stay
in the parking lot. I have rented an apartment
here. You can stay there until this issue is
sorted out.”
“No. I appreciate the offer but I can’t…”
“Scarlet please. Remember you once told me
that this city isn’t safe to stay alone so I
should stay with you. That’s what I’m saying.
Come on, consider me your friend. Let me
return your favour.” He said, sincerity clear in
his eyes.
“But…”
“You look really tired. You clearly nee-d some
rest.” He suggested. “Please,”
“Fine.” I mumbled un-der my breath.
“I’ll go talk to Catheryn about Cara and then I’ll
be back in few minutes. Wait for me in my
car.” He said and chucked his car keys
towards me. Nodding, I stood up and with
slow steps, walked towards his car.
………..
Nate’s apartment was 15 minutes away from
the hospital. He lived at the 34th floor of a tall
building that looked like something not
everyone could afford. The apartment was
quite large for one man, and the grey colour
scheme screamed of sophistication.
As soon as we entered inside, I flopped down
on the couch and once again, Cara’s worry
filled my mind. Until I hear that she was out of
danger, I would stay restless for her. Nate went
and brou-ght a glas-s of water for me, that
helped me calm down just a little.
“This door leads to the guest room. You can
stay here as long as you want.” He pointed
towards a white door at one side of the
lounge. He then pointed towards the other
similar door at the other end of the lounge.
“That one is mine. I’ll be there if you nee-d
anything.”
“Thank you so much, Nate.” I managed to
smile a little.
“It’s okay. And don’t worry, Cara would be
alright. She has survived so much in her life.
This accident is nothing for her.” He said,
sitting opposite to me.
I nodded and then gathering all the courage, I
silently trudged into the guest room. Without
turning on the lights, I collap-sed on the bed
and took some de-ep breaths. My mind was in
a haywire and I nee-ded some rest. My whole
body was exhausted but sleep was the last
thing on my mind.
I was engrossed in the thoughts of events of
today when my phone started ringing. It was
Catheryn calling. I answered the phone and
listened to her tired voice. “I am sorry, Scarlet.
Evan isn’t in his right mind at this moment.”
“I un-derstand Catheryn. Just keep me updated
about Cara.” I told her.
“I will. Nate told me that he was taking you to
his apartment.” She said and the concern was
apparent in her voice. Evan wouldn’t approve
of me going with Nate but what else could I
do?
“Yeah, but don’t tell Evan. He is already really
stressed.” I said and yawned.
“Okay. Take care of yourself. And once again,
I’m sorry. You didn’t deserve those words.”
She sounded really apologetic.
“I’ll be fine.” I smiled feebly and then cut the
call. Somewhere as the time pas-sed, sleep
overpowered me and the thoughts in my mind
started to clear up. The last face on my mind
was that of Cara because I finally dozed off.
