Damsel in Distress -an Indian Story

Savior

Nithya's pov

With a heavy heart, I walked towards the hospital not knowing what destiny holds for me. When I reached the cash counter I was hell tensed. I have to pay 1.5 lakh rupees, but I only have 50000 rupees. What can I do?                            

With fidjeting hands  I gave the money in the cash counter.
" What is the name of the patient?" The receptionist asked. "

SwathiVerma" I replied.  " But it is already paid" her statement made me froze.
" Sorry?" I asked to confirm what I heard.
"Mam, the operation fee of Swathi Verma is already paid"
She said and I felt like dreaming.
" But who?" I asked clearing my throat.
" I don't know, a man in a  black hoodie paid it ten minutes back"she said and I felt relieved and shocked at the same time.

" So, the operation will be started , right?" I asked to clear my confusion.

" Yes, mam we have shifted her to OT"

I felt relieved after hearing that. I thanked God for his Mercy.But suddenly a question popped inside my mind. Who paid the bill?. Maybe he will be here, I must search him. I ran towards the hospital entrance , but cannot find a person wearing black hoodie. Suddenly the sound of a bike caught my attention.

A man in a black hoodie was starting a Royal Enfield.with his back facing me.  "Excuse me........" I tried to call him but before that he started his bike and drove away. I couldn't see his face because of his helmet.
Why should he paid the bill? Is he some one related to Swathi? No, she have no relatives here. Can anyone spend this much money for a stranger. No!......Then who is he?.

Hours passed and I was waiting in front of the operation theatre. After some time, the doctors came out. I was about to ask them about the operation but suddenly my phone buzzed. It was my mom. I already informed her about the situation.
" Mom, I will call you back" I said and cut the call.

" Who is the bi stander of Swathi? " A nurse asked ." Me" .
" The doctor is calling you" she said and I felt tensed.
Is it something serious ?My mind filled with questions and I marched towards the doctor' s cabin.

'Dr.Avinash Sinha, Cheif Surgeon , Managing Director' I read the board in front of his cabin.Why the M.D of this hospital wants to meet me?Is it something serious?.Krishna, please help me. I took a deep breath and knocked the door." Come in" came a voice.

I opened the door, and found a handsome man standing there with a book in his hand. He looks more like a business man than a doctor.
" Nithya, Right?" He asked and I nodded.
" Have a seat please" he said like a gentleman.
" May. I know, why you called me" I asked clearing my throat.
" Oh yes, I want to talk about Swathi' s surgery"he said in a calm tone.

" What happened doctor, is it.. failed?" I asked with trembling voice and my eyes filled up with tears.

"No, no don't panic. The surgery was a success and she will be okay with in a few months" he said and hand over a tissue paper to wipe my tears.
I felt relieved, so relieved. This is the only good news of this day.

" Thank you so much doctor, thank you so much for saving my friend's life" I said between my tears.
"It's our job to save the lives, by the way where is Swathi's parents?" He asked and I explained her life situation.
" Oh that's sad, poor girl! " He sighed .

"Can I see her now?" I asked with hopefully eyes.
" No, she is under observation , you can meet her in the morning". He said and I got up to leave.
" Ok doctor, once again thank you, bye" I was about to leave when I heard him behind.
" Nithya, you are really a nice person, Swathi is lucky to have a friend like you". I just muttered a thank you and leaved his cabin.

I glanced Swathi through the glass door of the room and sighed. I decided to stay there for the night . It's already 9'o clock. What if she needs something in this night?. I decided to call my mom and inform about it. I opened my bag and searched for my phone.

" Oh shit! Where is my phone? " I searched my entire bag but couldn't find it. Where I have kept it?. I tried to remember all places I had gone." Yes! It must be in the doctor's cabin. I should go and take it immediately. What if mom  called?She is already worried about Swathi when I told her about the accident. I was about to turn to the doctor's cabin when a nurse called me.

" Buy these medicines immediately, it is not available in the hospital pharmacy, you can buy it from the medical shop opposite the hospital" She said and handover a prescription.

I should buy these medicines first and then find my phone. I bought the medicines and reached the parking area .But for my surprise I found a
Royal Enfield there. Yes, it is the same bike that the man in Black hoodie driven. You may have wonder, how I can said that . I noticed the number plate at that time. '6565' was the number .Since it is a fancy number I remembered it. That means he is here. Who is he? Why should he play this hide and seek?.

Is he the stalker of yours? My inner  soul asked.
No! Then why should he helped you?.
My mind was filled with questions and I felt my head bursting. I have to find what's going on with my life immediately otherwise I will land up in big trouble. I have to find the owner of this bike. Wait. It is parked under the staff' s parking area.

That means he is working here. Who is he? How can I find that?.I looked around and found a security guard. Maybe he can help me. Since he is working here, he may know whose bike is that. " Uncle, who is the owner of that black Royal Enfield?" I asked and he looked me suspeciosly.
"Why should I tell you?" He asked.
" Actually, iam very fond of bullets , I was searching for such a bullet to gift my husband, that's why iam asking " I lied shamelessly.
He seemed believed by my answer and glanced at that bullet.
" That one? " I nodded.
" It's Avinash sir's bullet".He said and I was hell shocked.
" Avinash sir, you mean the M.D of this hospital" I asked to clear my doubt.
" Yes, He usually comes in his car, but like you he is also obsessed of bullets, So he uses it once or twice a week" . He said and I felt something wrong. Why did he paid the bill?.

Iam a fool. I should have thought about this earlier. Why the M.D of such a big hospital wants to meet me?.If he wants to inform about the success of the operation he could have informed it through other doctors or nurses. But he took a special interest in this case. Now I felt my suspecion is true.

I handover the medicines to the nurse and marched towards the doctor's cabin. Before knocking the door I heard he is speaking to someone in phone.

" Her friend is safe. No she has no doubts " I heard him speaking to someone in a serious tone. Is he talking about me?With whom is he speaking?. That means he is definitely hiding something or playing games with me. I waited for 5 minutes and knocked. " Come in" came the reply.

" Oh Nithya, what happened?" He asked with concern. " Nothing  doctor, I just left my phone here"I said trying to hide my nervousness. I found it in his table. " It's here" he said and handover it to me. I muttered a thank you and immediately left there with out giving him a chance to say something.
