He Needed Help
With each passing minute, Pradeep watched the time crawl by on his watch, his anxiety escalating with every tick. The sinking feeling in his chest deepened as the hours stretched since Lilly had gone into surgery. He felt overwhelmed by the weight of his worries, compounded by the challenge of soothing his restless twins. In that moment of desperation, he decided to reach out for help.
Calling his mother felt like the right choice, as he hoped her presence would bring comfort amid this emotional turmoil. The questions swirled in his mind like a storm — why was the surgery taking so long? What could they possibly be finding? His thoughts spiraled, leaving him feeling more isolated in his anxiety. Pradeep needed the reassurance only family could provide, and he prayed that the arrival of his mother would help ease his burden, if only for a little while.
