Sorry guys..I was unwell yesterday and my internet connection is slow since morning. Hence uploading now...
Purvi awakens with a pain in her head and the sun in her eyes. She tries to open her eyes and shields it against the sun. Slowly she gets up and tries to make sense of the surroundings. Its just sand everywhere, she feels a pain in her hands and legs..there are some small cuts..she tries to move her hands and feet- she can move them.
She remembers where she was going, with whom with a start. She looks around…the car is still there but its tilted to one side. She bends and checks – she can see Chaudhry saab stuck inside, she calls out his name 2-3 times, but there is no response. Worries, scared she looks around and spots a man lying face down in the sand.
Purvi (shaking the man): Dushyant ji…uthiye..uthiye please…
Dushyant slowly holds his head and opens his eyes. Purvi sees he is bleeding from his head..
Dushyant (pain): Purviji..aap…yeh sab..aap theekh hai..
Purvi: Haan main theekh hoon..aapko chot lagi hai…
Dushyant gets up, feels dizzy.
Dushyant: aaahhh…sar chakra raha hai…thoda paani..
Purvi goes quicky to the boot of the tilted car, gets some water out and gives it to Dushyant. He drinks it and slowly gets up checking for any major wounds on his hands and legss. He also has some minor bruises.
Dushayant (realizing): Chaudhry saab..Purviji…Chaudhry saab
Purvi: gaadi me phase hai..aap aayiye..
They both rush to the car. Chaudhry saab is on the same side as the car has fallen. They try to open the door and pull him out but they both cannot. Its getting dark, they have no idea how will they get him out..
Dushyant: aap ..yahi rahiye..main..main sadak ke kinaare jaata hoon..gaadi rokne ki koshish karta hoon..madat ke liye..
He goes over to the road to flag any vehicle down. 30-40 mins pass but there is no vehicle in sight. He has given up when he sees three vehicles zooming on the path. He waves at the first one by standing on the middle of the road, but jumps on the side in time when the driver almost hits him and zooms away. The second vehicle also rushes away without waiting to help.
He yells at the 3rd vehicle, it brakes hard. The vehicle comes back, he is hopeful for help. It's a jeep and there are two men travelling but both have guns in their hand…..Dushyant gets scared..
Driver: Bhaisaaab…aapko yeh chot..kya hua..hum kuch madat kare..
Dushyant (scared): haan…nahi..woh…gaadi..accident..
Driver: Arre..theekh se bataiye…ghabraiye nahi..Main CID se Sr inspector Daya hoon..yeh mere dost hai Sr inspector Abhijit..
Dushyant (relieved): Ohh aap police waale ho..maine bandook dekhke kuch aur socha….please…hamaari madat kijiye…hamari gaadi ka accident ho gaya..woh chaudhry saab gaadi me phase hai..pata nahi kaise hai…
Daya and Abhijit immediately get down and go with Dushyant. They see Purvi trying to pull him out. Tears are flowing through her eyes..she is constantly calling Chaudhry saab's name..
Dushyant: Purviji….dekhiye..yeh log hamari madat ke liye aaye hai..aap hat jayiye..
Purvi moves away. Daya, Abhijit and Dushyant manage to turn the car back in position and quickly open the door and take Chaudhry saab out. He has already bled very much through a big wound on his stomach. Purvi quickly checks his pulse and panics..
Purvi: Dushyant ji..inki pulse..bahut weak hai..aur ..khoooon…bahut beh gaya..jaldi hospital..
Daya: aap log ghabraiye nahi..hum le chalte hai..chaliye..
Daya and Abhijit help them get inside the jeep. Purvi ties her duppataa on chaudhry saab's wound and holds his head on her lap.
Purvi: yahan nazdeek me koi hospital hai…jaldi jaana hoga..khoon bandh nahi ho raha..
Abhijit: haan..yahan 5 mile me ek chota gaav hai..shayad wahan hospital hai..
Dushyant: Sir…who toh sirf clinic hai..ek kacha raasta hai…10 mile door Shivpur gaav me ek sarkari hospital hai..main raasta jaanta hoon..
Dushyant shows them the route and they all reach the hospital. Purvi rushes inside and calls the on duty doctor and explains Chaudhry saab's condition. The doctors and Purvi rush inside with Chaudhry saab..
Dushyant gets treated for his cuts and wounds. Daya and abhijit take leave.
Dushyant: bahut bahut dhanyawaad aap dono kaa..hamari wajah se aapka mujrim choot gaya..
Abhijit: arre nahi..hamari doosri team hai unke peeche…abhi bas khabar mili..woh log pakde gaye..CID ka kaam sirf mujrimo ko sazaa dena hi nahi..balki aam nagriko ki madat karna bhi hai…aap khayal rakhiye..kuch zaroorat ho toh bata dijiye..
Dushyant hears some voices outside. He sees Purvi arguing with the doctors.
Purvi: aisa kaise ho sakta hai..yeh government hospital hai..aur aap keh rahe hai..aapke paas blood nahi hai..
Doctor: madame..aap baat samajhne ki koshish kijiye..aise rare blood group bahut mushkil se yahan milte hai…maine toh 10-12 saal me pehli baar iss area me yeh blood group dekha hai…aap inhe abhi ke abhi Jaipur le jayiye…
Purvi (desperate): But doctor..aap dekh chuke hai…inko blood jaldi nahi milaa…he can die ! Please help me….
Doctor: I am sorry…we cannot help..aap hi batayiye main blood kahan se arrange karoon..
Purvi(wiping tears): ok…fine…aap mera blood le lijiye..mera blood group bhi Bombay blood group hai (rare type)..
Doctor (shock): Kya? Aapka bhi….kya aap inki blood relative hai..inke parivaar se hai?
Purvi (yelling): that's none of your business !..Please time waste mat kijiye..
Doctor: But..but..hame kamse kam 700 ml blood ki zaroorat hai..baaki toh parso tak mil jayegi…this is impossible..
Purvi (pleading): dekhiye..main bhi ek medical student hoon..main jaanti hoon main ek din me 600 ml blood de sakti hoon..worst case me..its just 100 ml more ..please save him…maine iss saal apna poora parivaar kho diyaa hai…inhe nahi kho sakti..mujhme itni himmat nahi hai..Please…..
Doctor: This is ridiculous ! magar iski zimmedaar aap khud hai…aap pehle consent form pe sign kijiye..aapke kisi relative ko inform kijiye..only then I will take your blood
Purvi agrees to everything. She wipes her tears. Dushyant comes from behind.
Dushyant: yeh aap kya karne jaa rahi hai…Chaudhry saab ko apna khoon de rahi hai..Kavin ji ko nahi batana hai kya?
Purvi (holding his hands): Nahi Dushyant ji..Kavin sir ko kuch mat bataiye abhi..woh kabhi nahi manenge iss baat ke liye..please….meri kasam hai…pehle Chaudhry saab ko khoon chadhaane dijiye…uske baad..main khud sir ko phone karoongi..unka zindaa rehna zaroori hai…
Dushyant nods helplessly while he watches the doctors take away Purvi. An hour later, the nurse rushes out.
Nurse: Doctor ….woh blood donation waali patient ka pulse weak hai..
Doctor: oh god ! bola tha iss ladki se….come on quick..saline..
Dushyant sees the doctor rushing inside. He makes a quick decision and goes to the nearest telephone.
Some hours later, Purvi feels her head to be heavy, she can hear her heartbeats loud like a drum in her ears. Her right and left hand pain severely and her throat is scratchy and dry. She feels a familiar touch – that soothes her on her forehead.
Purvi (mumbling): Kaa…vin..sir.. She doesn't get any reply and the hand stops caressing. She opens her eyes and sees a very tense and angry looking Kavin in front. She manages to smile..
Purvi: aap…yahan..
Kavin (angry): just Shut up Purvi ! yeh kya kiya?..mera khayal nahi aaya tumhe? 700 ml blood..kisi aur ko bachaate bachaate tumhe kuch ho jaata toh..
Purvi: Chau…dhry..saab..
Dushyant: who theekh hai…behosh hai..
Tears flow out of Purvi's eyes…She looks at Kavin asking forgiveness.
Purvi: soo..rry..
Kavin cannot see her cry like this. He understands that she has lost her parents just recently and her grandfather is the only family she has.
Kavin: Its okay..tum aaram karo….kal tak blood aa jayega Jaipur se..tum ek-do din me theekh ho jaoogi..
Purvi: sir…chau..dhry saab ka blood sample…
Kavin: maine lab me phone kiya thaa..unka technician aa raha hai kal..Jaipur se…
He pats her head..she sleeps because of exhaustion to her body and the medicines mixed in her saline. Dushyant and Kavin come out of the room..
Dushyant: Kavin (Dushyant and Kavin call each other by names)…ek baat meri samajh me nahi aayi..
Kavin: Kya?
Dushyant: Purviji aur Chaudhry saab ka khoon ek hai..kya Purviji bhi inki parivaar ki hai..inhone ek baat kahi..yeh apna parivaar kho chuki hai..Chaudhry saab ko nahi khonaa chahti…kya matlab hai iska? Kya rishta hai..inn dono kaa?
Will Dushyant know the truth? How will he react? Can he be trusted?
