F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Then, slowly Bela tried to talk.

The nurse who was in charge of Bela, understood that she was trying to say something.

Then, the nurse quickly went to her and stood infront of her eyes, and gently rubbed her hand on Bela's forehead.

"I can understand what are you willing to say... Please Bela don't be so excited, you are still weak as you were deeply injured," said the nurse woman.

Slowly Bela calmed down.

Then, the nurse woman explained, "You are in the hospital."

The doctor entered the room. Bela noticed at once. But her eyes directly fell on the husky fellow, who entered right after the doctor and was completely looking like a beggar as if didn't bathed for many days, dark circles under his eyes, didn't combed his hairs properly, and his dress also became very dirty. She started getting excited as if something is causing her great uneasiness.

The doctor said, "Nurse, remove that funnel of oxygen from her mouth, and let her say whatever she wanted to say. I think if she directly said about her problems, then we can work on it and she'll recover soon. After all, mental health is very important. If you are mentally unwell, then you will be physically unwell too and nobody will have the capability of saving you. So, let her speak and feel easy."

Soon the nurse removed the oxygen funnel from her mouth. Then, the nurse again rubbed her hand, on Bela's forehead and said, "Feel free Bela. Feel comfortable. Say whatever you wanted to say. We'll help you at every cost, if it's possible for us to do so."

Then, Bela moved her right hand and arrowed it towards the boy, who was standing right infront of her feets, with eyes of grief towards her and said, "Ahhh... Ohhh...nnooo..." and started moving her left hand here and their showing irrigation.

Then, the nurse asked, "What happened Bela, don't panic... This can harm you more. Please tell us in your own words whatever you wanted to tell us... You can talk, please tell us..."

Bela was still showing the same expression of uneasiness and moving her hands here and there.

Finally the doctor said to the boy, at whom Bela was arrowing and showing such typical expressions, "Mr. Sehgal, I think she's not liking your presence here."

Mahir replied in teary eyes and was constantly nodding his head in negative response to the doctor's speech like a mad, "Nahi nahi... Yeh nhi ho sakta... She can't mean it... I guess she's willing to say something, atleast she can't tell me to leave her like this... No she can't... I don't trust anyone of you... "

The doctor interrupted while Mahir was saying his words and said, "But..."

Mahir replied, "I won't go anywhere, until and unless my Bela is directly asking me to do so. I don't trust anyone of you. Let Bela tell once directly to me that she don't want me to stay here, then I'll go I swear, but not before that. Nobody have that capability of throwing me out of her, except she herself, if she wanted me to go and tells directly then only I'll go without arguing anymore and uttering a single word, but not before that."

Finally, Bela slowly moved her lips and said, "P...pl...piliz  te...te...tell   hi..hi..him   to g..g...go... "

Mahir was unable to trust his ears, because he was so much blind with the expectations that Bela can't tell him to leave. So, he inserted his both the hand's index finger inside his ear and cleaned it and again asked, "Who Bela?? Whom are you telling to leave??? Are you asking the doctor to leave, because you mentioned the word 'him'?... Please say Bela. See Bela, doctor ko mat jane bolo, unke alawa kaun tumhara treatment karega?"

Bela replied, "You...."

Mahir responded within seconds, "Yes Bela say... Tell me what happened??? Tell me, what can I do for u, so that u start feeling easy?"

Bela replied,"P-p-pleaseeeeeeeeeee...."

Mahir nodded his head and said, "Yes Bela say, I'm listening... Please continue, feel free... "

Bela continued, "P-p-pleaseeeeeeeeeee, Mahirrrrrrr.... Get-t-tttt.   losttttttttt!!!!

This sentence within seconds hitted Mahir's heart like a sharp knife. He felt as if someone stabbed him from his front and directly stabbed him in his chest. He became speechless for a while and then slowly left the room without uttering a single word as he promised to do so.

The nurse put the oxygen funnel back to Bela's mouth. She started feeling easy and stopped behaving typically like before and went to sleep at once.

The doctor wrote some medicines for her and gave the nurse and game out.

He went to Mahir and hitted Mahir's shoulder and said, "Mr. Sehgal, the patient is not completely fit yet... I think she's not well mentally, please don't get hurt, she'll be well soon and then might be she'll act free like before with u. Right now, she's suffering that's why she behaved like that unknowingly. Might be she misbehaved without any intention bcoz she's not within herself as she's weak. Might be she's unable to recognise u properly, as u know, her senses returned right one hour back. So give her time, she'll be ok soon. "

Mahir stood like a statue.

The doctor left.

Mahir then said, "No, she's able to remember me, bcoz she took my name. No, I love her. I can do anything for her. Even I'm ready to die for her, so, here she just don't wanted my presence, thus, I can do that for her as well 🙂... If my absence make her happy, then I'm ready to make her happy 🙂... I can do anything to see her smile, bcoz I crave for her smile like a mad person. Indeed I'm a mad person, I know 🙂... Might be, I don't deserve her🙃, because I know that she's the best, so she deserves the best. I just wanted her to get well soon and nothing else. I won't enter that room, until and unless she's well I swear. But, for that I can't leave her like this and go back to Mumbai. I know my career is equally important, but, if Bela don't exist, then what's the importance of my career? One's career is for incoming for one's own family. If I don't have love only, then how can I grow a family? Then what's the purpose of my income? It's useless. Thus, I'm already successful, so now Bela is more important for me than my career. I won't enter her room, hope my absence helps her to recover soon. But that doesn't means I'll leave the hospital. Not at all. I'll sit here in the corridor, as I did for last three days and wait for her to get well soon😌 Let u don't know that, I'm here Bela. Let's play hide and seek like this. I'll see you from outside this glass door of your cabin, but won't appear infront of u. U won't be able to find me. U won't be able to know, that I'm here. Because I'll hide whenever u will look at this side.😌 Get well soon baby❤️ Lord Shiva, please take care of her🙏🏻"

After saying this, he sat at the door of the cabin, where Bela was shifted to.
