Queen 👑

CHAPTER FIVE

MANYA'S POV

"Dr.Manya Shastri." I heard someone calling out my name. When I turned around I saw Dr.Veerwal, one of the famous surgeons in India.

"Hello Dr.veerwal" I greeted him and he looked around . The atmosphere was pathetic. All his family members were crying. Yes! you are right, Samar met with an accident and all of us are in hospital.

"We have to perform surgery in next 20 minutes. Please co-operate with formalities ,Dr.Veerwal told the family members.

" Doctor, doctor" a nurse came running towards him and said " the neurosurgeon is attending another surgery and he is not available for next 2 hours"she said and Doctor Veerwal's tension was clearly visible.

He turned towards me and said to the nurse we have 'THE BEST SURGEON' here and asked " will you perform the surgery" and without a waste of second I replied "it's my honor" .

I was changed to a surgical gown as soon as possible. When I was on my way to OT ,

I heard a staff asking Kunal to sign a form "what is this ?" kunal asked." If something happens to patient during the operation, hospital is not responsible for it" the staff said. Kunal is samar's first cousin and they are like brothers. "What do you mean? the hospital is ours. It belongs to Gaekwad's " Kunal shouted at her and then signed the form.

The queen was completely broken. Next moment she came to me"you're a doctor right. Please save my son please" she begged in front of me. My eyes were filled with tears. " I will try my level best" I replied

8  hours surgery. He really met with a bad accident. He was in most critical situation and it was difficult for doctor like Veerwal but both of us tried our level best. We came out  of operation theater. The family rushed to us and Dr.veerwal shok his head and the queen was broken and fell on the ground.

" No aunty please listen. Operation is partially successful. Please be calm. We have operated him but if didn't regain his consciousness in next 24 hours, he can go to coma for ever". Silence there hit every corner of the hospital. Everyone were shocked.

The most difficult thing about being doctor is saying outcome of operation or results of tests to patient family. Their tears were uncontrollable. I just walked down and changed myself to normal clothes and was back to my parents who were with Samar's family throughout the operation.

My dad passed me a bottle of water.
" Is he fine" he asked. I just nodded my head and was heading towards ICU where Samar was shifted. A nurse came to family and said" ma'am please head back to your residence and do not worry about the patient. we will take care of him. Any one family member beside the patient is enough". 

Queen couldn't hold herself back.  "How can you say like that my son is at verge of death and you are asking me to go home?" She shouted out of fear and pain.

I interrupted and said " Aunty hospital is yours you should believe them and any one family member just beside Samar is more than enough" I think she was bit calm by my words and asked Kunal to stay over.

It was 1 am when I heard my phone ringing. It was call from an unknown number. I answered the call in the most laziest voice. I was really tired after traveling all way round to Rajasthan and cancelling alliance later performing an operation." Hello" a soft yet fearful voice was heard from the other side. 

"This is Sayani Singh Gaekwad. I need your help" I was confused at first then realized she is samar's mother. " Sure aunty" I replied.

It was 2:30 am I am at old temple waiting for the queen.when she called me earlier she asked me to meet her at kuldevi temple and she sent a car to our hotel room I was accompanied by my mom. We didn't disturb my dad nor my brother.

" Thanks for coming" queen said and continued "I know you won't believe me. But it's my request, according to Samar's horoscope you can save him I request you to perform pooja" I was completely in shock.

It was 2:30 am and someone is asking you to perform pooja for saving someone else's life! I didn't know what to reply and stayed in a complete silence.

" If you don't believe it's okay. But you are doctor please save my son's life. Please perform the Pooja". I wouldn't have agreed but last two sentences made me to agree for her request. I am a doctor and my duty is to save lives.

I bathed in cold water. And my mom helped me to drape most difficult outfit of the world according to me, a saree. I was draped in simple red saree. I entered temple the pandit was already there for the pooja and I started doing it. My mom was sitting inside temple and by now even my dad n brother accompanied her next to  the queen and her sister-in-law (samar's aunt).

Around 6 am I went near idol and started to do aarti. When I heard Queen's phone ringing in background. She went out to speak. Till then I completed my pooja and came out. The queen was running towards me and hugged me and said "you saved him. He gained his consciousness. You saved him" she was really happy and I could see her happy tears rolling all down her cheeks. We didn't wait even for a second and rushed to the hospital. I went first and checked him.

" He is fine."!! I said and family members rushed through ICU and my parents at their back. Everyone looked so happy. Later queen invited everyone of us for breakfast.

We arrived at kesar mahal once again. We were once again welcomed whole heartedly and without any delay we were on Royal palace's dining table. The head chair was occupied by the queen and family members sat on other chairs.

"Don't you think you are made for him?" samar's aunt asked me,and I didn't know what to reply.

Queen looked at her and said not to say anything but my mom interrupted and said "even I think so, Manya you should think on your decision once" I didn't replied to any of their talks. We finished our breakfast and the queen asked me to come with her.
