Part 9
Maan is sitting under the waterfall jis jagah wo kabhi Geet ko le gaya tha...his favorite place thinking of jumping in the water
But then just jumping wouldn't kill him; not even hurt him to block out other pain
Geet in her heart knew he would be there, so she was listening to her heart and going there
Geet bhaag ke pohonchi
Geet chikhiii aur echo hue
MAAAN...MAAN MAAN MAAN
Maan looks up; he knows it Geet's voice
Geet locates him, flinching wit due to piercing sun rays
He sees her coming and he jumps into the water. Maybe he could hold himself under water and suffocate himself...that would shut down the brain due to lack of oxygen.. then the heart would go out too
G-MAAANNN
He didn't resurface, a minute goes by
Geet bhi impulse mein kund gai par swimming ka S bhi nahi aata aur paani gehra aur current mein tha
Maan to waise hi andar ankh band karke saans rokne ki practice kar raha tha, Geet bhi kund gai
Geet ko swimming aati nahi
Maan ko pata nahi ki Geet kund chuki hai
Geet is gasping last par meek sa Maan' bola and drowning slowly
It is literally impossible to drown yourself...you cant..
Nature is stronger and will to survive strongest
Maan resurfaces just in time to see her drowning
Maan swims to where he saw her drowning and dives down
Geet to neeche jaaye jaaye, lost her conciousness
Once, twice, thrice...he finds her, grabs her and brings her to the surface, dragging her to the ground
Geet to ekdum white as sheet, unconscious and ek dum cold
Maan is breathing hard gasping from exertion himself
He checks her pulse jo bohot minute hain, pulse rate is real low.. real faint
He starts pumping her heart and gives her mouth to mouth
He ignores the possibility of it not working out and repeatedly continues the process. Blow and then pump thrice
Geet khob saara paani nikal deti hai
Maan sits back when Geet starts breathing on her own; finally allowing his lungs to take huge breath of air for himself and slow down his heart
Her body is shaking, almost in tremors, the water was cold
Maan ko hyperthermia ki last stage thi kyunki wo to pehle hi fawaare ke neeche araam se baitha tha aur ab tak usse thand bhi nahi lag rahi thi jaise hypothermia ki last stage mein nahi lagti. Tab the person is bliss fully warm and relaxed
Maan sees her shaking, crawls upto her patting her cheek
Hoarsely he manages to whisper
M- Geet?
Her lips have become blue
M-Geet?!!
He shakes her wildly; at least that is what he wants but his body isn't listening to him any more
He falls down beside her unable to hold himself upright anymore, calls out her name once more a last time
Geet jo apne heavy eyes ko thoda hoda kholne ki koshish kar rahi thi, trying to respond to the distant familiar call
Maan blacks out after saying her name once more
Geet achanak se shock mein uthi paaya Maan ko uske upar
She is worried ki kya hua isse
G-Maan?? Maan???
She is shaking him
G-Maaan
He can't listen move or respond
She hits him hard on his cheek a few times
His heart is barely beating
Geet bura wala darr gai
He got the chills very bad... He was cold... not just his lips were blue so were his eye lids his nails his finger
Phone patak dia tha kahin Geet ne kundne se pehle as wo haath mein tha, bhaag ke gai adhe patke hue phone ke paas
Maan ka phone bhi isliye pehle nahi kag raha tha kyunki wo bohot pehle thoroughly geela ho chuka tha
Geet calls the ambulance
Then rushes to him vigorously rubbing his palms
Maan's body is becoming stiff like rigor mortis setting in..
G-Maannn Maaannn please get up!
She is shaking him while rubbing his palms blowing hot air from her mouth on his skin to warm him
When his lazy pulse dint twitch when she calls out to him much less a flicker of movement form his body
Geet is trying her b3st to warm him but it's hardly working... like a drop in a pond
Geet rummages his pockets for his lighter but it's all wet
She tries her best to light it but the damn thing isn't working
Maan ka chest is hardly moving now...the heart is working only to supply blood to the brain
She is holding him tight to herself to pass on some body warmth from her body
Geet bhi already itni cold thi... : khud blue ho rai thi upr se Maan felt like ice under her touch
Ambulance aati hai, wahn dono ko dekha to jaldi se pakad kar le aye
Hospital lekar gaye.. raste mei dono ko adrenaline shots diye
Geet is relived ki help aa gai par ab panic ka realization hua ki kya ho sakta hai
She can't help her tears; not ready to leave him
Wo ambulance wale log pry her off strap her on stretcher and doosre mein Maan ko
They reach hospital
Geet ko bhi kafi thand lag gayei thi
Dono ko intensive emegency mein daala
Maan ko hot water bath mein dala; ek hi tha
Geet ko charo taraf heater lagaye kambal dale...habad tabad
Finally jab Geet ka temperature normal hua uska bahar laye intensive care unit se and sedatives de diye as wo baar baar Maan ka naam liye jaa rahi thi, also to let her body relax and recover
