Chapter 24 - You were right

Room no.75

When Janet entered the room, Rocky was eating his supper.

" Hey." Rocky said.

Trying very hard not to show him her swollen cheek, Janet gave him a weak smile and asked," You called me?"

Rocky raised his eyebrows when he found her behaviour very awkward and strange.

" Ya. I mean you said that you would come up afterwards but you didn't. I thought may be you forgot so I had asked someone to send you up." Rocky said.

Turning away, Janet said," Okay if there is nothing then I'll take my leave."

" Woah woah stop right there." Rocky said.

When Janet stopped, Rocky said," Turn around."

Janet thought for a while before turning around.

" Come closer." Rocky said.

" I really have something important to do something downstairs." Janet said.

Rocky frowned when he saw swollen cheek which also had red hand prints on them.

Pointing towards her cheek, Rocky asked," Alright woman who did that to you?"

Lowering her head, Janet said," I just banged on the door."

Rocky frowned deeper as he said," Do you think I'll fall for that? Those are clearly hand prints. Who slapped you?"

Janet shook her head and said," No one. I am fine." before walking out of the room.

.....

Next day

After finishing their shift, Silvia and Janet left the hospital together.

" You are going to my place right?" Silvia asked.

Janet nodded her head and said," Yes."

" Good because there is something I want to tell you." Silvia said.

Janet sighed and said," Don't tell me you ate my candy bar again?"

Silvia frowned and said," What? No I didn't but I would've if I had known about it's existence."

" Then what is it?" Janet asked.

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Silvia said," I have decided to marry Kevin."

Janet who was current drinking her coffee, almost chocked at Silvia's words and started coughing vigorously.

Patting her back, Silvia said," I told you it's hot."

" What did you just say?" Janet asked.

" I said that I have decided to marry Kevin." Silvia said.

" Sil you know what you are doing right?" Janet asked.

Silvia smiled and said," Yes I know."

Janet sighed and asked," Then what about your whole soulmate thing and your perfect love story?"

Silvia smiled and said," May be you were right. There is no such thing as soulmate's in this world."

" Sil this is not right." Janet said.

" Jan this is what everyone wants. Mom and dad and Kevin's parents too." Silvia said.

Janet frowned and said," This is not about them. It is about you Sil. You are one who will be getting married and not them."

" It's fine I think I'll manage. I mean how hard can it be?" Silvia said.

Janet sighed and said," Okay if this is what you want then I am with you in this but if that man ever hurts you, I'll break his nose."

Silvia chuckled and said," Why don't Ron and I hold his hands ans legs and then you break his nose?"

Janet proudly nodded her head and said," Yes. One punch from this great and mighty Janet and Mr hotty will see stars at broad daylight."

" Why don't you punch your super annoying ex-boyfriend first so that he doesn't bully you in the future?" Silvia said.

Janet gasped and said," Ha look at you already taking his side."

Silvia rolled her eyes and said," No I am not."

...

Silvia's place.

When they arrived home, Uncle Thomas and Aunt Lily were sipping tea in the living room.

" Ahh here comes my darling." Aunt Lily said.

Giving her a tight hug, Silvia said," Good morning mom."

Patting her head, uncle Thomas asked," Tired?"

Silvia nodded her head and said," Very."

" Ahh Janet is also here." Aunt Lily said.

" Oh Jan will staying with us for few days." Silvia said.

Uncle Thomas smiled and said," Your more than welcome sweetheart. If you want, you can stay here forever."

Janet chuckled and said," See uncle is willing to bear my expenses forever."

Aunt lily laughed and said," Now why don't you two go and freshen up and then come down for breakfast."

" Ah yes I am hungry." Janet said before walking towards the guest room.

" The sheets are clean honey. So don't worry about them." Aunt Lily said.

" I love you aunt lily." Janet shouted.

Grabbing uncle Thomas' hand, Silvia said," Dad I am ready to marry Kevin."

Uncle Thomas and Aunt Lily widened their eyes in shock and asked," You are what?"

" I am ready to marry Kevin." Silvia said.

Uncle Thomas jumped in excitement and shouted," Oh my God I cannot believe this. You are- Ahhh this is great news but wait are you doing this because you want to or because of some kind of a pressure?"

Silvia shook her head and said," Because I want to."

Cupping Silvia's face, uncle Thomas said," You have no idea how overwhelmed and happy I am darling. You seriously made my day. Ahh I'll call Herpi and give him this lovely news."

Silvia smiled and said," I'll go freshen up."

While Uncle Thomas was excited after hearing Silvia's words, aunt Lily kept on staring at Silvia.
