Diya

@firewings_diya

It's been two days since akshu is lying unconscious. Abhi was visiting her everyday and used to talk to her in order to ensure that she is doing well.  Abhi was checking her vitals he hears some one screaming outside. He curiously goes out and gets angry looking at him. He is really ashamed to have a father like him. 

Harsh:  Ye kya ho raha hai yahan.. Hamare yaha VVIP patients aye hai or unhe Emergency ward nahi mil raha?

[ What's going on here we have VVIP patients and there are no emergency ward available]

Harsh starts checking all the lists of patients.. He was very curious about 1 emergerncy ward.

Harsh:Ye khali ha na kyun nahi bola ki ye kaali hai. Nurse VVIP patient ko waha bhej do. 

[Why this room is empty.. Nurse please send VVIP patient to this room]

Nurse: Sir woh.. waha par ek accident patient hai. 

[ Sir, Actually its filled. there is a accident patient who is staying in that room]

Harsh: Toh kaun hai woh minister ka koi relative hai? 

[ Who is that? Is that a minister's relative?]

Nurse: Patha nahi sir. 

[ Don't know sir.]

Harsh: what's wrong with you all?Maine ye hospital charity ke liye nayi khola hai jo anjaan accident cases ko charity ke liye paalun.. 

[ What's wrong with you? I did not built this hospital to handle charity cases here]

Abhi fumes in anger he throws the his book which he uses to record patient information. 

Abhi : Aise chilla kyun rahe hai aap sir. Kya hua hai aapke VVIP patient ko? ki aap aise react kar rahe hai

[ Sir why are you shouting? and what happend to your VVIP patient that you are reacting like this]

Harsh with irritated voice

Harsh: Unko Pet dard hai..

[ She has stomach pain] 

Abhi understood that it's ruby who has gas trouble and  starts clapping slowly and starts walking towards him.. His voice is breaking as he knew his father is cunning but he can't believe he is asking akshu to shift to normal ward because there is a VVIP patient with gas trouble 

Abhi: Waah sir waah... 

Harsh: Kya hua?Taali kyun baja rahe ho

[ What happend? Why are you clapping?]

Abhi: Jo andar hai na uski buri tarah se accident hua hai.. Pet main dard nahi hai. She is fighting for her life. aur aap hai ki..

[ The person who is inside she has met with a bad accident.. It's not a stomach pain case. She is fighting with her life and you!!] 

Harsh: toh kya maine charity ke liye hospital nahi khola.. tumhe jo monthly salary miltha hai woh hospital se jo patients bill bharthe hai usse aatha hai. aur tum chahthe ho ki main ek patient jo bill nahi bhartha uske liye VVIP patient ko jaane do.. ha.

[ So what!!! I did not built this hospital for charity. Whatever you get monthly salary I collect from these patients. and you want me to leave this VVIP patient for the one who is not even paying bills ?]

Abhi fumes more in anger. 

Abhi: aapko usse paisa nahi mil raha toh aap ko uski jaan ki bhi parwa nahi hai na toh theek hai.. uska jo bhi bill hai woh mere salary se kaat lijiyega. agar kam pade toh bol dena main blank cheque de dunga.. 

[ You are not getting any money from her so you are not even bothered about her life.. Fine.. Whatever is her bill deduct it from my salary. and if its less just let me know I will give you a blank cheque. ]

Harsh:Abhimanyu!!!!!!

Abhi walks towards her cabin and sees she is gaining consciousness . Her hands and eyes were moving a bit. 

Abhi exclaims "Akshu" 

Akshu opens her eyes slowly with so much difficulty. Abhi holds akshu's hands waits for akshu to open her eyes. He wanted to speak to her and ask her who  she is. 

Akshu opens her eyes...she starts analyzing world she seems to be lost. and she sees abhi holding her hand. She forcefully pushes him and she is scared of him. 

Abhi is confused and he is emotional as well. He wanted to see her happy face but she seems to stressed. 

Akshu starts panicking... 

Akshu: Kahan hun main? Kaun hoon main? Kaun ho tum... Main yaha kaise ayi.. 

[ Where am I? Who am I? Who are you!How did I reach here?]

Abhi does not know whats going on. He tries to control his emotions and tries to help akshu to control herself. 

Abhi: akshu... shhh... he holds her hand. 

Akshu still trying to push him but unable to as she is lost in her thoughts and emotions. 

Abhi: tum hospital main ho akshu.. tumhara accident hua tha.. Main..

[ You are in a hospital akshu.. You met with an accident and I am..] 

he cups her face 

Abhi: aur main doctor abhimanyu... Tumhara doctor. 

[ and I am your doctor.. Doctor Abhimanyu!]

Akshu tries to console herself. 

Akshu: tum jaanthe ho main kaun hoon.. 

[ Do you know who I am ?]

abhi nods to say  no... 

abhi: main sirf tumhara naam jaantha hun.. Ye dekho.. he shows her bracelet..

[ I only know your name and shows her the bracelet.] 

Akshu takes it starts reading it Akshu.. 

Abhi: ye mujhe tumhare haath main mila tha. Tumhara gaadi bhi buri halath main khayi main phas gayi aur usse aag lag gayi. sirf tum mili kuch logon ko ghayal halath main..

[ I found this on your hand.. and your car was burnt in that accident. some people found you in unconsious state] 

Akshu sees her face on the steel tray to see if she can identify herself. But its of no use. she has lost her identity. 

Akshu: Kaun hoon main.. she starts stressing on her brain and she looses her consciousness.

[ Who am I?] 

Abhi gets worried her.. 

Abhi: Nurse.. Please call Dr. Mittal.. Jaldi[ Hurry up!]..

Nurse goes out and gets DR. Mittal.. 

Dr. Mittal: Kya hua doctor abhimanyu aapne aise mujhe kyun bulaya..

[ What happend dr abhimanyu? Why did you called me suddenly?] 

Abhi: Doctor please inhe check keejiya.. inka accident hua tha aur inhe kuch bhi yad nahi hai.

[ Doctor please check her. She met with an accident recently and she does not remember anything!]

Dr. Mittal: nurse please inka brain ka xray aur MRI keejiye aur mujhe turanth bhejiye. 

[ Nurse please get her MRI and Xray done.. Quick!]

Nurse nods and takes akshu on strectchers for scans. 

Abhi waits patiently at doctor mittal's cabin for the result. doctor mittal places her scan results on the reader so that he can analyze them

Abhi:kuch patha chala?

[ Did you find anything?]

dr. mittal: mujhe aisa koi chot toh dikhayi nahi de raha. 

[ I can't see any damage in her brain]

abhi: phir ?

[ then?]

Dr. Mittal: kuch cases main trauma ke wajah se bhi memory loss ho saktha hai. 

[ In some cases people loose memory due to some trauma]

Abhi: aapka mathlab ki akshu kisi trauma se guzar rahi hai?

[ Are you saying that she has gone through a trauma?]

Dr. Mittal: shayad kuch keh nahi sakthe. 

[ We can't tell anything]

Abhi: ye kab thak theek hoga?

[ When will she get her memory back?]

Dr. Mittal: Ye brain injury nahi hai dr. abhimanyu. jab thak akshu khud ke trauma se bahar nahi aathi shayad tab thak usse kuch yad nahi aasaktha. 

[ She does not have any brain injury dr abhimanyu.. Unless she comes out of her trauma she may not get her memory back]

Abhi: thank you dr. mittal.. 

Dr. Mittal: Abhi uska khayal rakhna usse koi stress na ho. warna uska brain damage ho saktha hai.

[ Abhi please take care of her. She should not go through any stress else her brain may get damaged permanently] 

abhi nodes and he gets emotional  as atleast he knows his identity to complain about his life. akshu does not even know who she is. 

Abhi leaves to her cabin he sees her sleeping.. He goes and sits beside her. Controlling her tears. 

Abhi: akshu.. i am so sorry.. tumhari yaddasth nahi rahi.. I am really very very sorry.. 

[ You don't have your memory with you]

she opens her eyes sees him crying holding her hand. 

Akshu: doctor abhimanyu!!

Abhi: tumhare liye sirf abhi.. 

[ For you I am just abhi..]

Akshu: main kuch samjhi nahi.. 

[ I did not understand...]

Abhi: Akshu.. Tumne aapni yadasth khoi hai.. 

[ Akshu.. You have lost your memory]

she gets emotional again. He holds her hand tightly  

Abhi:lekin main tumse vaada kartha hun ki main tumhara yadasth wapas launga.. 

[ I promise you that i will help you get back your memory]

akshu sees the confidence in his eyes.. she wipes her eyes...

Akshu: par kasie.

[ But how?]

Abhi: woh tum mujhpar chod do.. Aur ab jab tumne apna memory kho diya hai. aur tumhara na koi dost hai aur na koi pariwar wale kya tum mujhe apna dost maan sakthi ho.

[ Just leave that on me.. Now that you lost your memory and you don't remember anything and you don't have anyone with you. Can we be friends?]

Akshu: nahi doctor abhimany main aap par bhoj nahi banna chahthi.

[ No.. Dr abhimanyu.. I dont want to be a burden on you]

Abhi: Akshu... tum mujhpar bhoj nahi ho. Ye samajh lo ki tumne meri zimmedari ho. Jab tumhare pariwar wale mil jayenge tab tum apna udhar chuka dena

[ Akshu.. You are not a burden on me.. for now think that you are my responsibility.. When you meet your family just pay back]

Akshu: Par kaise chukaoon?

[ But how can I repay?]

Abhi: hmmm.. May be tum mujhe accha khana bana ke khila de na.. Ya phir kuch gaana gaa dena.. 

[ hmm.. May be you can cook for me or may be you can sing!]

Akshu: main aur gaana ? Main gaana nahi gaa sakthi.. 

[ Me and singing.. I can't sing]

Abhi: arre try karke dekho.. Try to sing.. 

[ Arre... Please try once.. try to sing]

Akshu: lekin.. 

[ But...]

Abhi: Please.. try to sing apne dost ke khatir.. 

[ Please try to sing. Atleast for your friend]

Akshu nods.. 

She closes her eyes. For some reason she remembers one particular song. 

Akshu: ohhh... khanna

Oh Khanna she tries to remember the wordings 

 Ab toh murali ki madhur again she forgot what was next and after a pause

suna do khaana.. 

Abhi: wow!!! You are a great singer. I guessed so after seeing your bracelet as it had music note in it

Akshu smiles and she is happy as atleast her music is with her. 

Abhi: ek apne ko toh maine tumse mila diya.

[ Finally you met your first family member]

Akshu: Kaun?

[ Who?]

Abhi: Tumhari awaz :) Ab dusron ki baari.. 

[ Your voice. Now time for others]

Akshu get excited as she found something which is hers . She gets up from her bed. Hugs him tightly to convey her thank you.

Abhi hugs her back caresses her head and smiles. Thanks god for helping him to handle her. 

Akshu breaks the hug as she is akward that she did it. 

Akshu: I am sorry!. and smiles. 

Abhi: Koi bath nahi aur dosti main no sorry and no thank you!

[ No worries. In friendship there is no sorry and no thank you!]

Akshu smiles.. 

Akshu: thank you abhi.. I really mean it. 

Abhi: abhi maine kya kaha tha.. dosti main no sorry no thank you!

[ What did i say just now? In friendship there is no sorry and no thanks]

Akshu smiles again.. 

Abhi makes her sit down and wraps her in the blanket. 

Abhi: ab so jao please.. rest karo main khana leke aatha hoon tumhare liye. 

[ Now please sleep.. Take rest i will get food.]

Akshu smiles and closes her eyes and tries to sleep. 

Abhi feels happy that he could help akshu. and leaves her cabin with a smile on his face. 

A nurse looks at him.. 

nurse to other nurse: ye DR. abhimanyu ko kya hua.. ithna kush kabhi nahi dekha maine unhe 

[What happend to dr abhimanyu i have never seen him so happy  ]

nurse 2: haan.. maine bhi.. Kabhi inhe ithna kush nahi dekha

[ Me too. Never seen him so happy]

Abhi goes out with a wide smile on his face.
