Ginika - S01 E03
“Don’t even give me that look Aina, you will stop the cooking, dress up and go to that hospital now” she exclaimed.

They rushed out of their room in disarray.
They got into the cab and headed to the hospital.
There was an obvious unrest.
Memories visited Ginika.
She got lost in her one thoughts.
She had a flashback memory.
FOUR YEARS AGO.
“Ginika, I am not feeling fine, I think my blood is getting hot and I am getting uncomfortable” Daniel said as he grunt in pain.
Ginika was buried in her book, she ignored him. He cried and wallowed on the bed.
“Ginika, please I am not getting myself” he exclaimed.
She snapped at him. “What? Leave me alone, who knows where you got yourself harmed, I don’t have time for this, I will call mum for you” she said, picked up her book and left the room.
She sat outside reading when she heard the horn or the car blaring, it was her mother’s car, she ran to the gate to open up.
“What are you doing out here and where is your brother?” Her mum quizzed.
“I’m just here to read, he is inside” she replied.
She resumed her reading. She suddenly heard a scream from inside.
” Help! Help! Ginika help!!” She exclaimed.
She ran inside and saw his brother lying lifelessly in her mother’s hand.
” Get the key to the car, get the key!” She yelled.
Ginika ran to pick the key and also joined her mum in lifting Daniel into the car.
She sped to the family hospital while the mother sat with Daniel on her lap at the back of the car, she called his name and prayed.
They got to the hospital, Ginika rushed out of the car and sped into the hospital for help, the nurses rushed out with a stretcher and placed him on it. He was rushed into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Ginika and her mother were denied access into the ICU, they paced the corridor of the hospital restlessly, her mother cried and prayed simultaneously while guilt was carved on Ginika’s face.
Her heart raced and could almost escape from the cage or her ribs.
Few minutes later, the doctor came out of the ICU. His head dropped, a sad face.
They ran to him.
“Doctor, how is he? Can we go and see him now?” They asked.
He sighed.
” Only if he was brought in earlier, I am sorry Mrs James, Daniel is gone” he said and walked away.
