Dr. Nethbathi demanded to know what has happened with Sapphire.
“She was raped and the gentleman standing here raped her. My kid now can’t even recognize people, ” said Mr. Benson, suddenly entering into the room.
Alexander’s jaw clenched and he exhaled a deep breath. He couldn’t look at them, was too ashamed of himself. He raped the love of his life, destroyed his hopes, the person who saved his life.
What a wonderful rendition of kindness he had returned to her!
“I want to make things right from now on. Tell me what happened to her in the past?” Alexander lifted his gaze and asked them.
“I don’t know what to say, I never thought Mr. Rodriguez you could do something so vile to somebody. I think what people say is not true, you are much worse and crueler than the rumor.” Dr. Nethrabathi said.
She continued, “Sapphire’s had many problems before, she suffered from severe stress disorder, anxiety and depression. Her childhood was not something very cherishing. She was severely abused by her mother and her boyfriend. This is why she developed relationship complex and trust issues. She had problems to even sleep properly. I can’t say any more about her. I am a doctor and it’s against my ethics to expose about my patient. Nonetheless, I have told you so that you can understand how to behave with her. I don’t want you to cause more damage to her; she is not in a condition to take any more pain.”
Alexander stood there listening, stunned to know about Sapphire. She was a broken girl, but now she was broken beyond repair by him. He squeezed his eyes shut and fisted his hands.
She was always hurt but always had a good heart. Alexander could still remember her little sleeping figure beside him from ten years ago; her body was covered with cuts and bruises.
She was exhausted carrying her cuts and bruises along with her, every day dealing with new forming cuts. Nevertheless, the smile never faded from her face, she always smiled. Always helped everyone. She was his angel, broken angel.
“Please go from here, you two, let me start my
work.” Dr. Nethrabathi urged them.
“I will stay here, ” Alexander replied.
“Mr. Rodriguez, she is afraid of you. After what you have done to her, if you stay here, I can’t guarantee that I will be able to get a hundred percent result, please leave.” Dr. Nethrabathi spoke.
Alexander left with Mr. Benson.
………………………………………………………………
After the first day of treatment, “How is she? How much time will it require to heal her?” Alexander impatiently queried.
“Mr. Rodriguez, let me say first. Her condition is not good rather complicated. As I already told she was a patient of stress and anxiety, but after this rape, her condition became more complicated. The rape was a great traumatic event in her life; she is suffering from severe PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Partial amnesia, and Bulimia.” She replied. Alexander listened to everything she said.
“I want to know exactly how much it will require for her to be normal?” Alexander asked, impatience was growing each time.
“Mr. Rodriguez, first of all, for your information I have to say something. Rape is not any normal occurrence, it is a serious crime. What you have done, you deserve serious punishment. And the way you are demanding her cure is really astonishing. You have to give her time, her condition is not good. She needs time; many patients can never get out of the trauma in their lifetime. But we need to be optimistic-” Dr. Nethrabathi was cut by angry Alexander.
“Don’t you dare say she will never be all right because if that happens, you will never see your beloved daughter and husband. I am giving you three months. Do your work, cure her and get the money and get lost. Or else you know the rest.” Alexander warned her.
The poor Doctor was scared, she gulped loudly.
“I-I- I will tr-try. B-but it’s not easy to guarantee for three m-months. She is really ill.” Dr. Nethrabathi stuttered.
“I fu*”ing know that she is ill. That’s why you are here. It’s your goddamn duty to make her normal!” Alexander screamed at her.
“M-Mr. A-alexander I-I will try my best.” She whispered in fear. .
……………………………………………………………..
After seven days, Alexander entered Sapphire’s room. She was looking at the ceiling lying on the bed. Alexander sat beside her. Feeling his presence, Sapphire cowered in fear. Sapphire looked like she lost a lot of weight.
“Angel, Good morning?” Alexander asked her. Sapphire didn’t answer, rather pulling her body backward she curled herself into a ball.
“How are you, angel?” Alexander again asked, but no reply from Sapphire. Alexander didn’t like being ignored and he was never was a patient man.
“Had your breakfast?” Alexander asked further, but the same happened. Sapphire didn’t answer. Alexander’s dam of patience broke by her constant ignorance.
“Why the hell are you are not answering?!” He snapped loudly.
Sapphire let out a cry at his sudden rise of temper. To make a distance from Alexander she moved backward.
Alexander hated her tears, but he was the one who made her cry every time.
He moved towards Sapphire to console her, tell her not to cry anymore.
“Sshhh, angel. I am here. Don’t cry.” He said stroking her hair gently with fingers and wrapping his one arm around her.
She struggled to get out of his hold. She cried loudly and felt difficulty to breathe again.
Again the horrible memories of that rape became visible before her eyes. Her brain couldn’t function properly anymore.
All she could think were about tears, blood, bruises, cuts, scars, and pain.
Her mind became overly alerted for what already happened once. She would never let it happen again. “S-s-t-op. D-d-on’t touch me! Please j-just leave me alone. Noooo! Not again!” She screamed at the top of her lungs. Her throat began to ache.
Alexander immediately let go of her and stood up. He realized he shouldn’t yell at her in this vulnerable condition.
But what to do? He was a beast, after all, he couldn’t tolerate ignorance.
“Angel, I am sorry. I shouldn’t yell at you.” He said in a low and guilty tone and left her room.
Alexander felt like a failure, so much ashamed of himself that he couldn’t appear before Sapphire for the next few days.
Alexander tried hard to control his temper before Sapphire. After so much trying, he decided to go to her room, to see her beautiful face for once.
He entered her room and saw Sapphire was lying on the couch. Alexander went near the couch and sat on his knees near her.
She was asleep. He kissed her forehead and then her lips. She looked so peaceful and adorable while sleeping. But it was not a time for sleeping, it was evening.
He patted her cheek gently and called, “Angel, wake up.” He felt something was wrong.
Her face was pale and white. Her body was sweaty and hot. He called her again but she didn’t wake up. Fear of losing her engulfed his mind.
“Angel, wake up, talk to me. Wake up! Wake up!” Alexander yelled holding her body to his chest.
He immediately called their family doctor.
“Sir, she fainted from weakness, malnourishment, and dehydration. She didn’t eat properly. I think she had lost a great amount of weight. Her immune system is also compromised, she is suffering from fever. She couldn’t sleep properly as she is under a great amount of stress. Her body couldn’t function anymore. So she collapsed. She needs nutritious foods, peaceful sleep and always needs to stay out of stress.” The doctor described after examining her.
“But how is she malnourished? She never skipped meals.” Alexander said.
“I think her body didn’t comply with this, her digestive system is also is a mess. She most probably threw up contents or didn’t eat.” Doctor added.
“Sir, yesterday I saw Sapphire Mam to throw her entire bowl of soup in the toilet, she requested me so I didn’t tell you. As she wanted to eat alone and told us to leave her alone, we didn’t bother her or saw her eating. Only yesterday I saw her throwing her soup in the toilet once but I think she did this every day. She always wanted to eat soup as it’s easy to throw away through the toilet.” The maid standing there told shaking in fear.
“What?! Why didn’t you tell me? You were to take care of her. YOU ARE FIRED! Get lost!” Alexander bellowed, losing his temper again.
“Sir, calm down. Near this patient, you cannot yell or shout like this. She will get scared. I am giving her medicine intravenously. She will wake up. When she wakes up, make sure she gets enough tranquility, nutritious food and stays out of stress. Sir, have you appointed any psychiatrist for her yet? Her psychological condition is also not good.”
“Yes, ” Alexander said.
“Then, Sir, make sure to inform her about the patient’s physical condition. Because psychological and physical health affects each other.”
Sapphire woke up; found a needle of IV cannula was plunged in her wrist. She yelped in pain in her abrupt moves.
Alexander entered inside. A maid was behind him, holding a big bowl and a plate.
Maid put the tray on the bed.
“Go, get freshen up, ” Alexander said to Sapphire. His tone was neither harsh nor soft.
Sapphire ran towards the bathroom. She did her business but was scared to come out. She
kept sitting inside the bathroom.
“I know you are done with your business. Now come out, angel. Or I will unlock the door. You will not like if I unlock it.” Alexander warned outside of the toilet. Sapphire started to tremble hearing his voice. She didn’t open the door.
She heard a click sound of unlocking the door. Her eyes watered in fear. She turned and tried to run from Alexander. But she was trapped inside the small toilet; soon her back hit the wall. Alexander couldn’t help pitying at her stupidity.
Sapphire was looking like a scared, afraid deer, at any time to be devoured by a beast. Tears were freely making their way from her big doe eyes. Alexander took her out of the toilet by gently holding her arms. But she was struggling to be free.
He made her sit on the bed.
“Finish this meal within 20 minutes, I will come and check.” He informed the crying Sapphire, wiping her tears with his fingers.
Alexander waited for two minutes outside of her door. Then he entered again.
He saw Sapphire was still crying and the tray of food was untouched. He marched towards her bed stood beside her.
“Why aren’t you eating? Eat!” Alexander harshly said. But still Sapphire didn’t move. Alexander sat down on the bed and taking a spoonful of hot soup he blew it, and then held before her mouth.
“Open your mouth.” But Sapphire didn’t open, rather she cowered back.
Alexander became frustrated with her silence and pulled Sapphire abruptly by her arm. Sapphire let out a loud cry.
“Angel, please eat. You are weak, you need to eat.” Alexander cajoled her.
Alexander was never a patient man but was showing much patience to feed Sapphire. But she never responded.
He got angry. Gripping her jaw tightly, he opened her mouth and shoved the spoonful of soup in her mouth. Sapphire could not take anything inside rather it resulting in her vomiting and vigorous coughing.
What are you doing, Alexander? You are supposed to treat her with care, not roughly. You have to treat this vulnerable, fragile doll with love. You already ruined her life, do not do this anymore. If you want her, then be patient. Shower her with your love, care.
Love can buy everything. His subconscious spoke. Alexander released the scared and crying Sapphire. He pulled her trembling form against his chest, embracing in a tight hug.
“I am sorry, angel. Forgive me.” Alexander lowly whispered in her ear.
“I love you and you are my everything. I hate it when you cry. In your beautiful eyes, tears are not suited.” He kissed her head.
Alexander wiped the soup from her body and dress with a napkin and brought out a new dress for her.
“Angel, wear it, I am waiting outside.”
Sapphire didn’t change her dress, she sat there motionless.
Alexander entered with a maid who was holding a new tray of food. He told her to help Sapphire change her dress.
He made her sit on his lap and stroke her hair . Sapphire was shaking and trying to get down . but Alexander tightly held her by her waist.
” i will never do such a thing again , angel . Don’t forgive me right now , give me a chance I will prove that I can change . I will fix you .”
He cooed in her eyes .
