CHAPTER 25

Tarika: doctors ka kehna hai ki daya ko... bacha pana... bahut mushkil hai,…uski..uski halat bahut…bahut critical hai.

She said in a trembling voice and broke down into tears..everyone else were not believing what they all just heard..

Pratima: ye kya keh rahi ho beta?

She asked in a weak voice..tarika was continuously shaking her head in no and crying bitterly, seeing her tears, everyone had to believe on her words..

Taniya: oh my god! Oh my god..ye kya ho gaya, aisa nahi ho sakta…aisa nahi ho sakta….

Pratima: ka..kya nahi ho sak..sakta? kya hua ta..taniya..hua kya hai..

Taniya could not hold , she hugged pratima and started crying..

Dadi maa: he bhagwan! Ye kya ho gaya! Mera daya..mera bachha..ye kya ho gaya uske sath…

And the old woman too burst out crying..divya was shocked..it took some more minutes for her to understand what had happened..she shivered badly from inside as she realised that this disaster could be a result of her silly mistake..she just turned and looked at shreya..and found her standing still on the stairscase like a statue..

Hearing the loud voice of the crying of the women , jayant and nikhil rushed in the hall..they both were puzzeled to see the scenario…

Jayant: taniya, kya hua?

Taniya rushed to him…

Taniya: jayant…she could not speak further and burst out crying clutching his shirt..

Jayant: taniya..ye sab kya ho raha hai..

Nikhil: auntie..bhabhi..aap log is tarah se ro kyun rahe ho..kya baat hai?

But they told nothing and continued crying..getting no reply from them nikhil came to divya..and caught her arms..

Nikhil: divya..tum to kuch bolo..kya ho raha hai ye sab..

Divya looked at him with teary eyes..but her voice got stuck into her throat..

Jayant: aap log kuch batayenge..baat kya hai..

Now pratima who was in a state of shock started murmuring..

Pratima: da..daya ka accident..ho gaya hai..ab use ..koi nahi bacha sakta…koi nahi bacha sakta…

Hearing her words both nikhil and jayant went blank..

Jayant: bhabhi..ye kya keh rahi hain aap..

Pratima turned to him..

Pratima: mujhe daya ke paas jana hai..use koi nahi bacha sakta ab..koi nahi..

Jayant was shocked seeing pratima like that..

Dadi maa: koi mujhe hospital le chalo..mere daya ke paas le chalo..mujhe hospital le chalo..

Jayant: nikhil, gadi nikalo..

Nikhil nodded his head and moved to get the car..the women continued crying their heart out..but there was someone who was totally silent …she has no tears in her eyes..no movement in her body, no expressions on her face..probably her body was there but her mind was somewhere else..after sometime nikhil came back..

Nikhil: dad, jaldi chaliye..dadi maa, auntie, bhabhi, mom..jaldi chaliye..

Jayant with all the ladies rushed outside..nikhil was about to go but he turned and came to divya..

Nikhil: divya hum log hospital ja rahe hain..shreya ka khayal rakhna..!

He said signalling towards shreya..and quickly rushed out of the house… here divya was crying silently..she took a glance of shreya..who descended downstairs like a lifeless body..she was not crying..not reacting..she came to divya and looked at her..seeing her like that divya felt more guilty, and cursed herself ..

Divya: shreya…

Shreya was just staring her silently..her thoat was dried..she tried to speak but no voice came out from her mouth..

Divya: shreya, ..ye sab meri wajeh se hua hai…maine kabhi sapne me bhi nahi socha tha, ki meri ek choti si galti ka anjaam itna bura ho sakta hai..main teri hi nahi..in sabki gunehgaar hu shreya..jaane anjaane mujhse ye kya ho gaya ..

Shreya was still silent …she was looking at divya..she was seeing her talking something..but she was not listening her..her words were falling into her ears but were not reaching to her mind..seeing shreya so quiet divya..held her from her shoulders and jerked her..and shouted loudly.

Divya: shreya tu itni shant kyun hai, kuch bolti kyun nahi..kuch kahegi nahi mujhse..daantegi nahi mujhe….saza nahi degi mujhe meri galti ki..please shreya say something..plese scold me, please punish me shreya..please say something..

Hearing divya's loud voice shreya came back to her senses..

Shreya: divya..daya..daya..ka accident..?

she could not speak further and collapsed on the floor..and started crying bitterly ..divya tried to hold her but she could not..she too sat on the floor and put her hand on her shoulder..

Shreya: ye kya ho gaya divya..aisa nahi ho sakta..daya ko kuch nahi ho sakta..kuch nahi ho sakta unhe..

Divya was unable to speak she just kept sobbing silently..a hard feeling of guilt was clearly visible in her eyes..

Shreya wiped her tears and looked at divya..

Shreya: divya ye sab meri wajah se hua hai..dadi maa ne mujhse kaha tha ki main wo dhaga na nikalu apne hath se..phir bhi maine..ye jante huye bhi ki iska anzaam bahut bura ho sakta hai..maine dadi maa ki baat nahi mani..main use wapas pehanna bhool gayi…aisa kaise kar sakti hu main divya..aisa kaise kar sakti hu main..

Divya: teri koi galti nahi hai shreya, sari galti meri hai…teri un bato pe yakeen nahi kiya maine, tu to taiyar bhi nahi thi wo dhaga apne hath se nikalne ke liye, lekin maine,…maine jabardasti…shreya..I am really sorry shreya..

Shreya was not paying any attention to what divya was saying..

Shreya: dadi maa ne kaha ki main daya ki zindagi hu…lekin..lekin aaj..aaj sirf aur sirf meri wajeh se daya...ki zindagi khatre me hai..jis insaan se khud se bhi jyada pyar karti hu, use maine khud hi maut ke muh me bhej diya hai…

Divya kept sobbing..keeping her head on shreya's shoulders..but shreya stopped crying ..as divya found her silent again, she lifted her head up to look at her..shreya wiped her tears..

Shreya: nahi divya, main aisa nahi hone dungi..daya ko kuch nahi hone dungi main..aur agar unhe kuch bhi hua na to..to main bhi ji nahi paungi divya..main bhi apni jaan de dungi…

Divya: nahi shreya..aisa mat bol..jeeju ko kuch nahi hoga..kuch nahi hoga unhe..tera pyar hai na unke sath..tum dono ko sath rehna hai shreya, sath sath jeena hai,…marne ki baat mat kar..jeeju ko kaise kuch ho sakta hai bhala, unki zindagi to tujhme hai shreya..aur jab tak tu unke sath hai..unhe kuch nahi ho sakta..

Shreya just looked at her..she wiped off her tears and quikly stood up and ran towards the little temple of the house..she came and stood in front of the idle of god..and rang the bell..

Shreya: (in a loud voice) kyun karte hain aap aisa..hum sab to aap hi ke bachhe hain na.. apne hi bachho ko is tarah se tadapte huye dekhkar bhi aap muskura rahe hain..aapne hi humari takdeer ko ek dusre se joda hai na..meri zindagi me daya ka pyar dekar use itna khoobsurat bana diya, are abhi to humne sath me jeena shuru bhi nahi kiya tha aur aapne itna bada toofan bhej diya humari zindagi me..

Divya came after her but she stopped at some distance behind her..shreya continued her one sided argument with the God

Shreya: kya samajhte hain aap khud ko..jo aapka man karega wahi karenge aap..hum insan aapke hath ki kathputliyan hain na..jab chaha humari zindagi me khushiyan bhej di aur jab chaha gamo ka pahad lakar khada kar diya..kis baat ki saja de rahe hain aap daya ko..kya bigada hai unhone kisi ka, khud ke bare me sochne se pehle dusro ke bare me sochte hain..jo insaan sirf dusro ke liye hi jeena janta hai, uski zindagi cheenkar kya pana chahte hain aap..

aapko kya lagta hai,,ek mamuli sa wo dhaga mere hath se choot gaya to humare rishte ki dor kamjor pad gayi..aur aapko daya ki zindagi ke sath khilwaad karne ka mauka mil gayaa…huhh..to ye aapki galat fehmi hai..humare rishte ki dor itni kamjor nahi hai..us dhage se kahi majboot dor se bandha hai humara rishta…humare dil ki dor se..aur wo dor itni kamjor nahi …main bhi dekhti hu aap mujhse mera pyar kaise cheente hain….ek aurat ke pyar ki agnipariksha lena band keejiye aap..kyunki usme jeet humesha aurat ki hogi, aur aapko sirf haar milegi..agar ek savitri aapse apne pati ki zindagi wapas cheenkar la sakti hai to waqt aane par is duniya ki har aurat savitri ban sakti hai..aur ab main aapko dikhaungi savitri ka dusra roop..main cheenkar laungi apne pyar ko maut ke muh se wapas….aapko ek baar phir se hara kar dikhaungi…

maaf keejiyega, par mere liye mera pyar hi mera bhagwan hai, aur aapse pehle uski puja karti hu main… mere pyar ke aage aapki ek nahi chalne dungi main, aap bas dekhte rahiye, ye ek aurat ka wada hai aapse..

Divya was staring at her..she was feeling proud of her..she could see a bright ray of hope..after seeing shreya's determination and confidence..a little smile formed on her lips..

Here shreya again rang the bell..and rushed to her room with fast steps..divya too followed her..shreya was almost running upstairs…she was not looking in her senses..her dupatta fell down on the stairs but she did not cared and moved ahead…divya picked her dupatta up and followed her to her room..shreya opened the doors with a thud..and scanned the whole room..

Divya: shreya…shreya..

shreya did not pay any attention to her, she came near the table where she has kept that precious jewel…the table was still looking messy…shreya started searching that jewel carefully..but she could not find it there…

shreya: yahi to rakha tha kaha gaya..

divya too started searching in othere corners..

shreya searched the entire room…every corner..but she could not find it there…in frustration she clutched her hair tightly and started throwing the objects angrily here and there in the room..seeing her so aggressive divya came near her to console her…

divya: shreya, wo dhaga to humne isi table pe rakha tha, kaha chala gaya..

shreya said nothing but kept searching …

divya: shreya,. Us din humare room me itne sare log aa ja rahe the, kahi unme se kisi ne galti se utha to nahi liya..lekin ab hum puchenge bhi kisse, sab wapas apne ghar ja chuke hain..

shreya still said nothing and was just throwing things on the floor in frustration..she lifted up the table lamp and threw it on the floor..in doing so a piece of glass injured her hand…divya came and held her hand.

Divya: shreya, kya kar rahi hai tu, relax, sab theek ho jayega..hum dhundh lenge use..

Now it was enough for shreya, she looked up at her..

Shreya: kya theek ho jayega..han? kya dhundh lenge hum, tujhe andaja bhi hai..is waqt kis daur se gujar rahi hu main aur tu mujhe relax karne ko keh rahi hai..

Divya: shreya main bas..

Shreya: shut up! Just get out..I said get out..leave me alone..I don't need anyone..got it..leave!

Divya was shockingly looking at her..

Divya: no shreya..main kahi nahi jaungi, main tujhe is hall me akela nahi chod sakti..

Shreya: I said leave!

Shreya pushed her out of the room and closed the door..divya requested her to open the door..

Divya: shreya please open the door..tu kuch aisa waisa mat kar lena please darwaja khol ..

Divya kept knocking but she got no response from other side..finally she took a deep breath and sat near the doorstep..waiting for shreya to open the door..

Hospital..

Everybody reached the hospital..they all were highly panicked and continuously shouting daya's name…abhijeet, and pradyuman were already present there..abhijeet was standing outside OT and pradyuman was sitting on the bench lowering his head..some cid officers were also there.. jayant rushed to pradyuman..

Jayant:pradyuman..ye sab kaise ho gaya..kaisa hai daya..

Pradyuman said nothing, just nodded his head in no and burst out crying hiding his face with his palms..

Jayant: abhijeet beta..beta daya kaisa hai?

Abhijeet looked at him with teary eyes..

Abhijeet: uncle..daya…daya theek nahi hai..bahut buri halat me hai wo..

Dadi maa: abhijeet..mujhe daya ko dekhna hai..

and she rushed towards OT but abhijeet stopped her..

Abhijeet: nahi dadi maa..abhi nahi..abhi koi andar nahi ja sakta…doctors operation kar rahe hain..daya ko hosh aa jaye phir hum sab milenge usse..

Pratima: aur use hosh kab tak aayega?

Pratima asked in a weak voice..Abhijeet has no answer for her question…he looked at her for some seconds..then replied with a heavy throat..

Abhijeet: aa jayega maa..bahut jald aa jayega..

Pratima sat on the bench lost in her own thoughts..taniya sat near her keeping her hands on her shoulder..while tarika was supporting dadi maa…jayant was consoling pradyuman, and nikhil and abhijeet were standing there feeling very helpless..after some more minutes, the red bulb of OT went off..the main doctor of the operating panel came out..everyone rushed to him..

Abhijeet: doctor..kya hua..daya kaisa hai ab..

Doctor took a deep breath and looked at the helpless , faces of these people..

Doctor: mr. abhijeet..humare liye abhi kuch bhi keh pana bahut mushkil hai..aapko bhi accident ki severity pata hai..aise accidents me 95% se jayada logo ki on the spot hi maut ho jati hai, aur jo 5% log hospital pahunch bhi jate hain to unme bhi..bachne walo ki tadaad..1% se bhi kam hoti hai …aap jante hi hain, accident me unka bahut blood loss ho chuka hai….its good ki unhe sar me jyada chot nahi aayi hai ..lekin phir bhi body ke dusre parts me severe injuries hui hain..pulse rate bahut kam hai..as a result of chest compression during the accident he is suffering from myocardial contusion….heart rates are quite irregular..breathing is also short..next 12 hours are critical for him..agar agle 12 ghanto me unhe hosh nahi aaya..to uske aage hum kuch nahi kar payenge..

Pratima felt like falling on the floor, taniya supported her..

Pratima: doctor saab, matlab agar agle 12 ghante me daya ko hosh nahi aaya to..to wo hum sabko chhodkar chala jayega? Hum sab se door?

Dadi maa: bahu ye kya bol rahi hhai tu, aisa kuch nahi hoga , humara daya hume chodkar kahi nahi jayega..

Doctor felt very bad and helpless seeing the ladies crying in front of him..

Doctor: dekhiye aap log please himmat rakhiye, hum apni taraf se puri koshish kar rahe hain..jo kuch bhi hum kar sakte hain, baki sab kuch to bhagwan ke hath me hi hai..

He said and moved from there because he too was not able to face a mother's teary eyes asking him for saving the life of his loving son..

Pratima: maa, aapne suna kya kaha doctor ne..mujhe bahut dar lag raha hai…maa..da..daya..ko hosh aa jayega na..wo hum sabko chodkar nahi jayega na…main kaise jee paungi uske bina..ma

Pratima asked in a trembling voice, Dadi maa hugged her and started crying..

Dadi maa: kuch nahi hoga humare daya ko,…kuch nahi hoga..

Pratima separated from hug..and looked at dadi maa..

Pratima: maa..subah jab daya ghar se nikla to pata hai usne mere paas aakar kya kaha..usne kaha ki, use na mere hath ki kheer khani hai, usne kaha ki main uske liye kheer bana ke rakhu, wo wapas aakar khayega..maa…maine abhi tak uske liye kheer bhi nahi banai..main ..main na..ghar jakar uske liye kheer bana deti hu…shayad iske baad kabhi use apne hatho se kheer khilane ka mauka hi na mile…hai na..main ja rahi hu..daya ke liye kheer banane.

Taniya could not hide her tears seeing her best friend in such pathetic condition..she just came and hugged pratima..

Taniya: pratima..sambhal apne aap ko..tu daya ko apne hath se kheer jaroor khilana..kuch nahi hoga use..dekhna bahut jald theek ho jayega wo..

Till now purvi and rajat were also informed about the accident..they both reached ..purvi came running and crying badly..

Purvi: maa…dadi maa..bhaiya..bhaiya kaise hai…ye sab kaise ho gaya..

Pratima wiped off her tears and held purvi with her arms..

Pratima: purvi, achha hua tu aa gayi..tu na…ja ..jaldi se daya se mil le..apne bhai ka chehra dekh le aakhhiri baar..doctor ne kaha ki wo daya…hum sab ko chodkar chala jayega..tera bhai..marne wala hai..purvi..ab koi nahi bacha sakta use..

Everbody was shocked hearing pratima talking like this..pratima was in a state of shock..she had lost her power of thinking, a heart of a poor mother inside her who was scared of loosing her piece of heart..had lost her control over her mind..her mind was fully occupied with such negative thoughts..she was not able to think positively in this condition..seeing her mother like that purvi felt pity on her..she shouted loudly..

Purvi: maaaa,…ye kya ho gaya hai tumhe..kya bolo ja rahi ho tum…bhaiya ko kuch nahi hoga maa..kuch nahi hoga..sambhalo apne aapko..

she said and the next moment she hugged her mother and they both broke down into tears..

Rajat came and silently stood beside abhijeet..he had no words to say..meanwhile sachin and vivek came there..

Sachin : (in a low voice) sir ye raha wo truck driver jo daya sir ko hospital lekar aaya tha..

Abhijeet controlled his emotions and tried to switch back to the sr inspector abhijeet mode..

Abhijeet: tumne dekha us accident ko..kaise hua ye sab..

Driver: han sir, ye accident meri aankhho ke samne hi hua..sir aisa lag raha tha ki gadi ka driver jaise nashe me ho..jaise use kuch dikhai hi na de raha ho…rasta kaha hai, jana kidhar hai..maine dekha wo car bahut tej speed se meri taraf aa rahi thi..maine horn bajaya, aawaj bhi lagai..lekin ..wo driver pata nahi kaise gadi chala raha tha..wo to apni car ko lakar khud meri truck me thok deta, lekin maine kuch bhi karke apni truck ko raste se hata liya, aur wo car itni tej speed me thi ki..road pe, dividers ko todte huye, samne pole se jakar takra gayi...

Sachin: shut up, tume pata bhi hai kya keh rahe ho tum, nashe me hone ki baat tum soch bhi kaise sakte ho, tumhe pata bhi hai wo kaun hain, ek cid officer hai wo..Sr. insp daya..samjhe tum..

Driver: sorry sir, lekin mujhe aisa hi laga, jab koi aadmi nashe me hota hai na to, uska control nahi rehta na gadi chalane par, aapke officer ko dekhkar bhi aisa hi laga mujhe..

Rajat: koi baat nahi , thank you so much, daya sir ko time par hospital pahunchane ke liye, abhi tum jao, jarurat padi to hum tumhe phir se bulayenge..

Driver: ji sir..

Rajat tured to abhijet

Rajat: sir ab ye to daya sir ke hosh me aane par hi pata chalega ki aakhir aisa kya hua tha unke sath, jo wo gadi control nahi kar paye..

Vivek: aur sir humne car ko achhi tarah se check kiya hai, itne bhayanak collision ke baad bhi gadi ke breaks abhi bhi theek hain...to aisa bhi nahi ho sakta ki gadi ke breaks fail ho gaye ho , isliye daya sir ne control kho diya..

Abhijeet: ab ye to daya hi bata sakta hai ki uske sath hua kya, aur daya ko hosh kab aayega ye koi nahi bata sakta..

Abhijeet said and with teary eyes looked towads the OT..

Here shreya was sitting on the floor, near her bed, taking support of the bed..till now her tears had also been dried...her eyes were red..the stroke of kajal has also been spread out of her eyes, due to the flow of tears..her hair were messy and ,scattered over her face..she was looking very pale and tired, she was sitting on the floor like a lifeless body...

She closed her eyes..and saw daya who was flashing his charming smile to her, daya extended his hand towards her and signalled her to hold it...shreya smiled at him lovingly and moved ahead to hold his hand, but she was not able to hold his hand as she found daya going away from her...she became worried and ran towards her, extending her hands towards him , to catch him, but still she found daya going away and away from her..she started crying and running towards him...but daya went far away from her...shreya screamed his name to make him stop going away from her..but the next moment she found him lying on the hospital bed...there was nobody near him...shreya cameto him ..daya again extended his hand towards her and said to hold it...shreya moved ahead to hold his hand but daya's hand fell down and he closed his eyes..with this shreya screamed loudly..and opened her eyes with a jerk..

Shreya: dayaaaaaaa!...

She found herself in her room...alone , after this terrible dream, she was very scared, she wiped off her tears..and buried her head in her palms..

Suna suna lamha lamha..

Meri rahe tanha tanha..

Aakra mujhe tum tham lo..manjil teri dekhe rasta..

Mud ke jara ab dekh lo..aisa Milan phir ho na ho..

Sab kuch mera tum hi to ho…

Bepanahh pyar hai aaja…tera intehjar hai aaja..

Her own words were echoing in her ears, which she has said to dadi maa..

""dadi maa, aap chinta mat keejiye, main aapse wada karti hu, main humesha daya ke sath rahungi..har kadam par unka sath dungi, mere hote huye, un par koi aanch nahi aane dungi, har musibat ko daya tak pahunchne se pehle mujhse gujarana hoga""

Bichde bhi hum jo kabhi rasto me to sang sang rahugi sada..

Kadmo ki aawaj sunke chalungi tumhe dhundh lungi sada..

Bhuli mohabbat ki ye khusbuyen hai hawaon me faili hui..

Chhu kar mujhe aaj mahsoos kar lo wo yaade meri anchuyi..

Aisa Milan phir ho na ho..

Sab kuch mera tum hi to ho..

Bepanahh pyar hai aaja…tera intehjar hai aaja..

Shreya: (pov) maine apna wada tod diya, nahi nibha payi main apna wada, daya ko har musibat se door rakhne ka wada kiya tha maine aur aaj main hi un par aayi hui musibat ki jimmedar hu...bhagwan please aap ko jo bhi saza deni hai wo mujhe deejiye, meri saanse cheen leejiye par daya ki saanso ko baksh deejiye. Agar unhe kuch bhi ho gaya to main is bojh ke sath ek pal bhi nahi ji paungi...mujhse mera pyar mat chheno, abhi to hum dono ne ek dusre ko jana hi nahi...ek dusre ke pyar ko mehsoos karne do..mujhe batane do main unse kitna pyar karti hu..unke sath mujhe maut bhi manjoor hai, lekin marne se pehle unke sath jeena chahti hu...

Vaado ke dhago me hum tum bandhe hain, jara dor tum tham lo..

Baho me aise pighal jane do mujhko..aise mera naam lo..

Main wo shama hu jo roshan tumhe karke khud to pighal jaungi..

subeh ka suraj tumhareliye hai, main hu raat dhal jaungi..

aisa Milan phir ho na ho..

sab kuch mera tum hi to ho..

.

Bepanaah pyar hai aaja..

Tera intejar hai aaja..

Suna suna lamha lamha..

Meri rahe tanha tanha...

Here divya was still sitting outside shreya's room, near her doorstep..when her cellphone started ringing..she looked at the caller id..it was nikhil..divya immediately picked up the call..

Divya: nikhil..nikhil..kya hua..jeeju kaise hain ab..

Nikhil: unhe abhi bhi hosh nahi aaya hai divya..doctors bhi koi positive answer nahi de rahe..pata nahi kya hoga ab... he said in a weak voice,and then he took a pause... divya..shreya kaisi hai..?

Divya(with a heavy throat): nikhil...shreya ne khud ko apne kamre me band kar liya hai..maine bahut koshish ki use smjahne ki par wo meri koi baat nahi sun rahi hai..

Nikhil:kya ..ye kya bol rahi ho tum..aisi situation me tum use akela klaise chod sakti ho..tum janti ho na wo kitni sensitive hai, agar usne khud ko kuch kar liya to..divya jao dekho shreya kaisi hai, sambhalo use..

Divya: I am sorry nikhil, main use akele nahi sambhal pa rahi hu..mujhse nahi ho raha ye sab kuch..

Nikhil: achaa..dont worry main aa raha hu..

They hung up..divya again knocked shreya's door..but she got no response..after some time nikhil reached their..he immediately rushed to shreya's room and found divya standing outside her room..seeing nikhil, divya felt somewhat relieved , she rushed to him..

Divya: nikhil..see, shreya darwaja hi nahi khol rahi, main kabse try kar rahi hu..

Nikhil:relax , mai dekhta hu..

He came near the door and knocked it..

Nikhil:shreya..shreyaaa..can you hear me, shreya please open the door..mujhe tujhse baat karni hai..please darwaja khol..

Divya too came and started knocking the door..

Divya: shreya please darwaja khol..na..

Nikhil: shreyaaa..he turned to divya..kahi shreya ne khud ko kuch kar to nahi liya..wo theek to hai na..

Divya too became worried..

Divya: nahi, wo aisa kuch nahi kar sakti..nikhil kuch bhi karke darwaja kholo please..

Nikhil tried to break the door, after some efforts he was successful in opening the door...as the door opened, they both rushed inside the room..and found shreya lying on the floor near her bed..unconcious..nikhil immediately rushed to her and took her head in his lap..and patted her cheeks..

Nikhil: shreya, shreya..shreya..aankhe khol..he turned to divya..divya pani lao, shreya behosh hai..

Divya immediately went and brought some water, nikhil sprinkled some water on her face..shreya came back in consciousness ...

Shreya: daya...da..daya..

Nikhil: shreya, tu theek hai na..

Shreya looked at nikhil and she immediately hugged him tightly...and broke down into tears..

Shreya: nikhil...

Nikhil could not resist his tears seeing his most lovely friend cum sister in this condition..he caressed her hair softly, and patted her head , in order to sooth her..

Nikhil: shreya..relax, sab theek ho jayega..

Shreya separated from the hug..and held his hand..

Shreya: nikhil..tu ..tu hospital se aa raha hai na...daya..daya..kaise hain ab..wo theek hain na..bol na..

Nikhil rubbed her tears and cupped her face in his hands..

Nikhil: nahi shreya, jeeju ko abhi tak hosh nahi aaya hai...doctors ka kehna hai ki agar agle 12 ghanto me bhi unhe hosh nahi aata to..

he could not finish his sentence..shreya clutched his coller tightly..

Shreya: to kya? ..han..to kya nikhil...to kya? Bol na...

Nikhil caught her hands and tried to calm her down..

Nikhil: shreya, kuch..kuch nahi hoga jeeju ko ..tu chinta mat kar..sab theek ho jayega..doctors hai na..sab ..sab theek ho jayega..tu tu mere sath hospital chalegi?

Shreya nodded in no..

Shreya: nahi nikhil..main hospital nahi jaungi..mujhse nahi hoga ye..main nahi dekh paungi unhe aise..nahi dekh paungi..she broke down into tears, and again hugged nikhil..

Nikhil: its ok , shreya, koi baat nahi, tu chinta mat kar ...jeeju bahut jald theek ho jayenge..main hospitalja raha hu...jaise hi jeeju ko hosh aayega , main tujhe inform kar dunga..ok.. He turned to divya...divya, shreya ka khayal rakhna..

Divya nodded and came and held shreya,..nikhil again left to the hospital..divya went and brought a glass of water for shreya..

Divya: shreya, ye le pani ...

But shreya refused to take the water..

Shreya: nahi divya, jab tak daya ko hosh nahi aa jata..main na kuch khaungi, aur na hi pani piyungi..

Divya: shreya lekin...divya shut her mouth as she received an angry glance from shreya..theek hai shreya..

divya said nothing because she guessed that somewhere shreya is very angry on her..after all it was all happening because of her foolish idea...divya cried silently for realising that she was behind this pathetic condition of her best friend and everyone else..no matter it was unintensional..

After sometime..adi returned from his achool...he was calling everyone but nobody was replying..the little boy wondered, where might be all his family members...hearing his voice both shreya and divya came down in the hall..adi saw them and came near them..he was confused to see both of them in tears.

Adi: shreya chachi, sab log kaha gaye hain..dadi bhi nahi..badi dadi bhi nahi..mumma bhi nahi , sab kaha hain..

Divya and shreya exchanged glances, they had no answer for his innocent questions...what should they tell him, that all of them have gone to hospital because his beloved chachu is on death bed..divya came ahead, and took his school bag off from his shoulders...

Divya: adi, beta, pehle aap chalo mere sath , main aapki dress change kar deti hu, phir aap khana kha lo, aapko bhokh lagi hogi na..

Adi: nahi divya aunti, maine to aaj apna tifin bhi finish nahi kiya hai..mujhe bhookh nahi lagi..par mumma kaha hai, mujhe mumma ko mera home work dikhana hai, mujhe teacher se very good mila hai..aur chachu kab aayeng, unhone meri help kithi na drawing me, usme bhi mujhe full marks mile hain..main unhe dikhaunga to, wo mujhe 2 chocolate denge..

Hearing him shreya...could not hold her tears..she started crying, adi saw her crying and came near her..

Adi: shreya chachi aap ro rahe ho, par kyun? Kisi ne aapko daanta kya, mujhe batao aap...meri shreya chachi ko kisne danta..

Shreya wiped off her tears..and looked at him..

Here in hospital..the nurse noticed daya breathing heavily...she noticed his heart rate was decreasing...she rushed out and called the doctors..all of them came and strated examining daya..

Doctor 1: oh my god, ye heart rate to decline hoti ja rai hai..

Doctor 2: doctor, oxygen saturation bhi decrease ho raha hai..

All the doctors became panicked..

Doctor 1: oh my god..aisa nahi ho sakta..kya jawab dunga main inki family ko..

Here at home..

Shreya: kuch nahi beta..aap jao divya aapki dress change kar degi..

Adi moved to go with divya, but he remembered something and came back to shreya..

Adi: shreya chachi, mujhe na aapko kuch dena tha..

Shreya : kya?

Adi: ye...ye aapka hi hai na..

Shreya was shocked as adi took out her jewel from his pocket..

Shreya immediately snatched it from his hand..divya was also shocked..

Shreya: adi..ye..ye..kaha mila aapko..

Adi: shreya chachi wo nikki hai na, uske paas tha, ..jab maine dekha to mujhe yaad aaya ki ye to aapk hai, aap humesha apne hath me pehanti ho na ise..

Flashback

Nikki was playing with shreya's jewel, adi noticed and identified that it is of shreya..

Adi: aie..ye tere paas kaise aaya..ye to shreya chachi ka hai..

Nikki: han, ye mujhe shreya chachi ke kamre me pada hua mila, mujhe achaa laga to maine utha liya, ab ye mera hai, main isse khelungi..main kisi ko nahi dungi..

Adi:..dekh ye meri shreya chachi ka hai, chupchap mujhe de de, nahi to tere daant tod dunga..

nikki: main nahi dungi, ye mera hai..

Adi: teri to, moti kahi ki, deti hai ya du ek..

Adi forcefully snatched the jewel from her hand, as she was not ready to give it to him..nikki started crying and ran away to complain to her mother against adi..

Flashback over

Adi:maine usse cheen liya, main aapko dene hi wala tha par bhool gaya. ..sorry kahi aap iske liye hi to nahi ro rahi thi..

Shreya said nothing and just pulled him in a tight hug..

Shreya: thank you so much adi..beta ..aapko nahi pata, aapne mere liye kya kiya hai...aapka ye ehsaan kabhi nahi bhool sakti main..

She separated and kissed on his forehead...

Here in hospital..

Doctors were trying their best to make daya normal, but the situation was getting out of control..

Doctor1: oh my god..heart rateto aur bhi kam ho gayi hai..

Doctor 2: doctor kuch kariye, ECG me straight lines aa rahi hain..

Doctor 1: isme hum kya kar sakte hain..the doctors started pressing his chest..but of no avail..his herat beat was consatnatly decreasing..

Here at home..

Divya:thank god..shreya..pehan le ise..

Shreya nodded in yes..and immediately tied that jewel to her hand..as she tied thet jewel in her hand..daya's heart rateimmediately became normal..doctors were astonished to see that ..

Doctor 1 : yesss! We did it..we did it..he is getting back to normal..

Doctor2 : doctor its amazing..ye to kamaal ho gaya..aakhirkar huamri mehanat rang layi..you are great doctor..ab bas inhe jald se jald hosh aa jaye..

The doctors were celebrating their successe totally unaware of the fact that, all the events are being controlled by someone else..

After some more minutes daya opened his eyes...the doctors were witnessing the most rare case in their carrier, they were witnessing truly a miracle for the first time..they have seen a man opening his eyes just after some seconds when they thought he was taking his last breaths ..

Shreya kissed the in her hand..after sometime divya received a call from nikhil..

Divya: han nikhil..

A joyful..voice of nikhil came from the other side..

Nikhil: divya...divya, jeeju ko hosh aa gaya hai..doctors ka kehna hai ki now, he is totally out of danger,..

Divya exclaimed in happiness..

Divya: sach!..

She came to shreya..

Divya: shreya..shreya, jeeju ko hosh aa gaya, ab wo khatre se bahar hain..he is out of danger now,..

A shine of happiness appeared in her eyes..she looked at the jewel in her hand and again kissed it...
