every diaspora desi wedding has:

someone's white boyfriend who got drunk and put his tie around his head (new guy every time)

the auntie searching out everyone over 20 who doesn't have kids and demanding to know when they'll be having them

the anxious teenage lesbian

the Cool Uncle™️ who got drunk with the white boy

the branch of the family that speaks such a mash-up of languages/dialects that no one else knows wtf they're saying

white woman who has been talked into wearing ethnic clothing and is needlessly worried about it

close family member of one of the newlyweds openly talking shit about one or both of them (sometimes while giving a speech)

I don't really have a coherent thought about this but I've been thinking about how colonialism disconnects us from out cultures, decades or even centuries after it happens

like obviously there's the immediate forcible disconnection, often the more physically violent one. the bombs and guns and abuse and rape and religious conversion

what I've been thinking about today is how that cultural disconnect can intensify generations later

for example, colonialism heavily impacted my family (Indian on one side, Irish and Scottish on the other). the Irish and Scottish side of my family stopped speaking their native languages generations ago

but the Indian side of my family, I'm of the first generation to not be able to speak our native languages enough to hold a conversation

so when did that change? when they moved to a white colonial-dominated country.

it was my great-grandfather's generation of my family that left India for Tanzania, and while they learned Swahili to adapt, they still maintained their knowledge of Kutchi and Gujurati

I'm the first of my dad's family to be born in Canada. and I'm the first to not speak our languages.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The first day of the second year had arrived. Casey awoke. She was equal parts excited and anxious. She got dressed and joined the rest of her housemates for breakfast. She enjoyed the company but she was not feeling the best. She outwardly put it down to nerves about starting the fellowship today but inwardly she was doubting that the medication she had taken the day before was not working.

To Edenbrook she went and the first stop was the Atrium for morning announcements. There was a new class of interns. She had to do a double take when she saw Ethan with his beard. She liked the look immensely and her mind started to stray. She was then annoyed at herself, they were to be colleagues only now and thinking about how his beard would feel against certain parts of her body was certainly thoughts she should not be having.

Meanwhile Ethan’s heart skipped a beat when he saw her. She was still as beautiful as ever. He knew right then and there a relationship with her is what he wanted and he hoped she felt the same way.

Casey’s first meeting as part of the Diagnostics team started. She met Baz and June. They had a patient that was incoming from another hospital and they were all going through the possibilities. Casey felt lost and when she asked a question that had the rest of the team raising their eye brows, well she felt stupid. Ethan stated they had already covered that and that there was non family history. Baz and June came to the conclusion that it was Cutaneous Kutchi disease. Tasks were allocated and the meeting dismissed. Casey stayed back.

“Is everything alright Dr Valentine?” Asked Ethan.

“I thought my days of feeling like a clueless intern were over…”

“Did you notice what June and Baz did?”

“Yeah, they asked questions.”

“That is right, a question, no matter how insignificant could lead to the right question that gets us to a diagnosis.”

Casey nodded.

“Do we diagnose without seeing the patient often?”

“Sometimes yes so it is a good skill to have, in this instance we will see the patient but at least we will have a starting point.”

“Thank you Ethan.”

He took his glasses off, and looked at her, he could tell something else seemed to be troubling her but he did not ask, if it was personal, the office was not the place.

“The beard looks good, I like it.” Says Casey. “Thank you for the pep talk.” She says before leaving. She walks down the hall to a stairwell and leans against the wall. She is annoyed at herself, she knew he knew something was up and she was questioning not telling him about the pregnancy and abortion. She then receives a message from Dr Stone that she is available later that day.

Casey goes about her day, she runs the test for the team’s patient, they had the diagnosis but then he states he was looking forward to eating with out being in pain. Which led to a secondary diagnosis of an ulcer which was also fixed. Casey was congratulated for her work and the diagnosis they missed but personal matters were making her worried.

Two hours before her appointment she started to get really bad stomach cramps. There was still no bleeding and what was happening was definitely signs that the medication had not worked. She powered through but thirty minutes before her appointment she had a really sharp pain. It was so sharp that she felt faint and she slid down the wall. Ethan saw her fall and he rushed over. He was concerned. He called for a gurney and he was about to send her down to emergency when Casey muttered, between shots of pain, “Please page Dr Stone.”

Ethan does as she asks and then it dawns on him. Casey was losing a baby. He thinks that the main reason he does not know is that he was in the Amazon and she was waiting for an appropriate time to meet and discuss. He could not be mad at her for that. Dr Stone arrives. Ethan hops out of the way and lets Dr Stone take charge. Casey tells her her symptoms for the last day and tells her that she did take the medication she was prescribed as stated.

Ethan went from sad to angry. He would have supported a decision to terminate, children was not something he had discussed with her and it was certainly something he had not seen for him but the fact that he was left out intentionally. Yes he was on sabbatical but surely he had a right to know. Did he mean so little to her? Now was not the time though. Dr Stone was looking at an ultrasound screen. There was a fetus still there, but no heartbeat. Dr Stone pages surgery. Dr Stone tells Casey what is happening. She is about to have a D&C. Ethan is angry but he knows that Casey will need rest and to be discharged into the care of someone else and he knew that with her housemates schedules that may be difficult. He tells Dr Stone to page him when she is ready for discharge. She nods and thanks Dr Ramsey for stepping in. He makes his way to the DT office. He sits down seething. He starts second guessing what he meant to Casey. Was she secretly deep down happy that the arrangement was ending, despite her being the one wanting to keep it going until he left. He tried to convince himself that she did not tell him because he was away but he was hurt, hurt that the woman whom he had feelings for did not see fit for him to know. The only thing stopping from the thought of that he knew he was the only one she had been with before he went away.

Several hours later he received a page stating that Casey was ready for discharge. He had already given her some time off for the next day. He made his way to where Casey was. She was shocked to see Ethan. He is given the post surgical speech. He tells Dr Stone and Casey that she is off the next day at least. Casey nods and Dr Stone is appreciative. He wheels Casey to his car. Casey expects to be driven to her house but is surprised when he drives to his house.

They are quiet on the drive. Casey is awaiting a lecture, surely he would have figured out what was happening but it did not come and it terrified her. They arrived back at his apartment.

Ethan asked her if she wanted a drink or something to eat. Casey asks for some water. She takes a sip.

“What do you want to know Ethan?” She asks.

What do I want…” he lets out a groan of frustration.

“I do not know Casey? Were you ever going to tell me? Why did you not tell me?”

“What so you were fine finding out via text or voice mail that you got me pregnant? Well guess what, I was not ok with that.”

“What so not telling me at all was so much better? Don’t you think I deserved to know?”

“What and you decide you want to stick around, try to make us work with a baby?”

“If after discussing it and termination was the best option then that would have happened.”

“I did want to tell you but I wanted t do it face to face ok, but given I would have been roughly 8, nearly 9 weeks along now, if it took time to reach a decision and with my schedule, well surgery would have been very quickly my only option.”

“But we could have worked it out together,” says Ethan, trying to not cry.

“Did I not mean anything to you?”

Casey is shocked.

“Of course you do. The time away was hell. There was a rabid faction who thought you influenced Naveen. I was trying to get over my feelings for you and then I find out I am pregnant to you.”

“Casey, it was not easy for me either…”

“Yeah well life likes to deal a crappy hand. Good night Ethan” says Casey as she walks to the guest room.

Ethan lets his emotions out and cries. He does not go to sleep. He stays sitting in the kitchen stewing in his emotions.

He meant something to her. He was not moving pass that comment any time soon. If he meant something to her then why was he kept in the dark about something so important? Casey then emerges.

“Did you sleep?” She asked

“No, I couldn’t.” Said Ethan, “the fact you did not tell me you were pregnant is still eating at me.”

“Why is it bothering you, it is not like you were wanting kids in the first place.” Stated Casey.

“I may have never seen myself as a parent. As I said if we came to the conclusion I would have been fine about that but what is hurting is you did not tell me.”

“I did not want you sticking around out of obligation Ethan, it would be no way to start a relationship and again you deserved to hear it in person, not via a voicemail or text.”

“I get that but I feel so angry…angry and betrayed.”

“It was not my intent to hurt you, believe me…”

“Believe you! Seriously Casey. I am hurt and I am angry, intended or not you have hurt me.”

“Thank you for letting me stay. Thank you for today off. I am going to go back home now. I would hate to think that I am an obligation.”

“You are not an obligation…”

“Then if I hurt you so fucking badly, why am I here? Huh?”

“You fainted at the hospital Casey, clearly something was amiss.”

“Well I can take care of myself.” She states angrily as she heads back to the guest room and gathers her things and leaves the apartment.

Ethan stands there shocked and angry. Anger at the situation and shocked that Casey only sees herself as an obligation. He lets out a guttural scream and cries again. He could not deny how hurt he felt. He had seen first hand how painful the end of something can be and he can not help but wonder if things were now irreparable between him and Casey.

“Why did I get feelings?” he mutters to himself as he continues to get ready for the day. At least he knew he would not be seeing Casey today and he was equal parts relieved and saddened.

Meanwhile Casey was sad, angry and confused. Confused at why Ethan felt so betrayed by her actions. She knows maybe she should have told him, hindsight is always 20/20 but the hurt he felt really caught her off guard. But she also hated that she now felt like he was obligated to look after her and that was the last thing she wanted.

“Well you have your wish Ethan Ramsey” she muttered to herself. After this they were definitely only going to be colleagues, just the way he said they wanted them to be and already Casey was hating it.

———

Authors note: another short but not so sweet, I really wanted to give Ethan’s reaction a chapter to itself. I had a different plan initially but decided this would be more dramatic.

The decision has had an impact already and it does come back in different forms later on. Thus a 16 part series.
