One of Millions Continued Part 10

So Pushpa's amputation had been scheduled. Doctors were cautious and waited for all test results, before proceeding.  Pushpa lost her leg from above her knee, not only did she have to live with this fact, she had to accept it. 


Pushpa received overwhelming support from well wishing relatives, friends, and the community in general. This gave Pushpa hope. Perhaps her family would feel differently towards her now, perhaps they would feel empathy and care, after all, they were her family. Pushpa had looked after them all these years, both physically and financially, perhaps they would finally realize that it was their turn to take care of her. Pushpa genuinely  looked forward to going home from the hospital.


Despite "the one she trusted"(TOST)'s efforts to deter well wishing relatives from outside London visiting Pushpa, Pushpa's well wishing relatives from outside London, chose to visit Pushpa anyway. They were relieved to see the care and attention Pushpa was receiving at the hospital. Yet they were just as disturbed by the lack of care and attention she was receiving from TOST.  TOST seemed to be unaffected by Pushpa's amputation. In fact, Pushpa's well wishing relatives were astounded by TOST' s stone cold attitude and uncompassionate behavior.


What was even more troubling was the fact that TOST was preoccupied with moving Pushpa's finances and assets into TOST's name. TOST's only concern seemed to be Pushpa's material assets not Pushpa. In fact, TOST went so far as to ask Pushpa's well wishing relative to help convince Pushpa to sign over Pushpa's property to TOST. Pushpa's well wishing relative refused to be a part of  such an underhanded tactic. They felt TOST's actions were inappropriate, especially at such a time.  Pushpa was of sound mind and capable of making her own decisions. Therefore Pushpa should not to be forced into doing anything that Pushpa was not comfortable with.
