AUTHOR’S POV :-

MUMBAI, 7 YEARS AGO.

IN HOSPITAL,

In a room there lay a boy, beside him there was a girl sitting on the chair and her tear streaked face and disheveled hair proves that she didn’t move from there for 2-3 days. Suddenly the door of the room open with bang and boy’s family enter hurriedly in the room, the girl listening to the sound stand up from the chair abruptly. His mother came near him crying to see her son laying lifeless on the bed, his family too came near the bed crying to see the boy there lifeless.

The girl that was now standing trying to say something to his family but no words came out of her mouth, guilty of her actions, sad and hurt seeing her friend’s lifeless body and his crying family, she tried to walk out of the room but someone caught her wrist tightly when she turn to see who it is, her face struck to side realization hit her that someone slapped her and tears start streaming down,

Her mother shouted on her, “Tum hi thi na jo mere bhole se bacche ko le kar gayi thi Us trip par, tumhare hi karan mere bacche ki aisi halat ho gayi hai or tum yaha se chup chap nikal rhi thi” her voice laced with venom and accusations.

(“You are the one who takes my child to that trip, this is all happened because of you, you are the reason of my son’s condition and you are going from here silently.”)

The girl trying to say, “A_ aunty… wo...M_main…”

“Wo main kya kr rahi hai, tujhe bhi pata hai kya kiya h tune, teri hi wajah se hua hai ye... main to tujhe achi ladki samajhti thi pr ab kya hi kahu, dubara mere bete ke aas paas bhi nahi dikhni chahiye tu mujhe, chli ja yaha se or kabhi wapas mat aana... (“you also know what you did, this happened because of you.., I expect you a good girl but you I don’t know what to say, I never ever want to see you near my son, get out from here and never come into my son’s life”) his mother’s words hit deep in her heart,

 She started running out of the room, out of the hospital and out of his life for forever… guilt, regret, hurt, sadness with these feelings she made a promise to herself that she will never come again in his life again… she packed her bags and leave Mumbai the very same day…..

PRESENT DAY :-

INDORE,

At a hospital cabin, a man is sitting at his chair staring a photo frame on the table deep in his own thoughts, his short black hair locks covering his forehead, his brown eyes has longliness mix with emptiness or something more…, his black shirt with white hospital coat with grey pants makes him more handsome, with his muscle body and broad shoulders, he looks like a Greek god…

His thoughts break when his phone started ringing, he pick up the call immediately seeing the caller ID, waiting for the person to talk, the person speaks ,“Devaansh sir, we are sorry we still can’t find anything about the person in details but we are sure that she is in Indore.”

Yes he is Devaansh Kapoor, after listening to this he ask, “Are you really sure she is here in Indore, and wh_what does she look like? H_how can I find her? Or…. identify her?

The person speaks, “Yes sir we are 100% sure, but… We don’t know what she looks like or where to find her… But we are still working our best to find out and she is here so we won’t take long time sir and contact you as fast as we can when we know about her details.”

Devaansh said, “Okay find out fast and tell me, I have been waiting for so long…”

“Yes sir will do” the person said and cut the call. After the call he stands up from the chair and walked to the window, thinking about her and finally more relieved after waiting for long years he found her…. Not fully but yes he knows she is here and in few days he’ll absolutely find her…..

      DEVAANSH POV :-

I was standing by the window when a nurse came running to the cabin, I hurriedly look at her and she spoke, “Doctor there’s an emergency a child is deeply injured on his head.”

“Okay tell me all the details as we going to operation theatre.”

Without looking I storm out of the cabin to OT as nurse starting to tell me in details about the patient condition, when I am going in the OT a girl grab my hand and started speaking in desperate and trembling voice, “Doc_doctor please save him, I –I beg Y_you, Ple- please.”

I turn to her feeling anxious to what to say to her, after a minute of encouraging myself to assure her, I grab her from her shoulders and said, “Don’t worry we will save him, please rest assured.” And take her to bench and sat her down, turn to go to OT, I heard the girl’s voice, “Thank you doctor.”

And enter the OT, relaxing me from the unexpected encounter and started getting ready for the operation, when I see the boy who is merely 12 or 13 lying lifeless on the bed I was determined to save him as we started operating immediately.

After long 2 hours surgery, it is successful and we save the boy though it will take him some time to get conscious but he will fully recover in a month. When I exit the OT I see the girl sitting on the bench, looking worried and anxious, when she see me, she hurriedly came to me and ask, “How is the boy? Is he alright?

I assure her and said, “He is out of danger the surgery is successful, you can meet him after few minutes.”

Her face gets relaxed and her black eyes get relieved after hearing me, somehow seeing her relax and out of worriedness I also feels happy, her sharp black eyes feels like I have seen them before, but where I didn’t know, but I couldn’t take my eyes from her, her long locks covering her beautiful face seems very fascinating…

 I was deep in thoughts when a nurse came to me and inform me that my phone was ringing continuously for 15 minutes, getting out of my thought I turn to my cabin but not before seeing her one more time I walked to my cabin and took the phone from the table to see who is calling me when I see that my mother has been calling for 15 minutes I got worried and immediately calls her back after three rings the call was answer and before I could ask anything my mother started scolding me,

“kahan the tum 15 minute se call kar rahi hu main , I know ki tum busy hoge but thoda to dhyan apni health par daalo, mujhe pta h dopeher se kuch khaya nhi hai tumne jaldi ghar wapis aao tumhara favourite palak paneer bnaya hai sath me gajar ka halwa bhi hai.”

(“Where have you been, I am calling for 15 minutes, I know that you’re busy but also pay attention to your health, and I know that you didn’t eat anything from afternoon, come home fast I have made your favourite dish paalak paneer with gajar ka halwa.”)

“Okay maa I’m coming don’t scold me, I will be there in an hour and I was in OT that’s why I didn’t pick up your call, sorry.”

“Its okay beta, come fast.”  After saying this maa cuts the call. Before going home I check my all patients and the boy and started getting ready for leave.

But my mind is somewhere else, to the girl, I can’t stop thinking about her, who is she? Is she the boy’s sister?

But why their family isn’t there? Why is she affecting me so much? My mind can’t focus on anything but her….
