Chapter 4.1 //:// The Operation

Doctor: aap agar consent form sign kar de toh hum unhe operate kar sakte hai. Agar unka yeh operation nahi hua toh voh hamesha ke liye coma mein slip ho jayenge, shayad ( Hesitately ) jaan bhi ja sakti hai.

All looked at Doctor with tears.

Nalini: thik ha doctor main unka consent form sign kar dungi, main unki choti behen hu.

Doctor: okay!

Pushpa ji: Nalini beta, ek baar Samdhan ji ko bhi bata do, unka hak hai jaan ne ka.

Karishma: par unhe kuch ho gaya toh? Unhe batane ke baad unhe kuch ho gaya toh?

Nalini ( emotional ): Karishma Singh, hume unhe batana hi padega, baad mein kuch... Khair mein consent form sign kar deti hun... Bhaiya ke bachne ke 10% toh hai, agar operation na hua toh kahi hamesha ke na kho de unhe.

Hassena looked at her with tears.

Hassena: hum jara ate hai.

Karishma: kaha ja rahi hai aap Madam sir?

Hassena ( Paley ): ghabrayi maat Karishma Singh. Hum ghar ja rahe hai... Aaj puchenge Allah se ki aaisi kya galti kar di humne jiski sajah hame mil rahi hai...

Karishma ( murmured ): Madam sir...

Karishma couldn't control herself and hugged Hassena and started crying.

Karishma ( crying ): iss sab mein.. aapki galti nahi.. hai ..Madam sir. Aap.. aapne aap ko.. iss sab ka.. jimm..edar.. kahe maan.. rahi hai.. humko pata hai.. na .. hamare bhaiya.. ko.. kuch nahi..  kuch nahi ho sakta. Humare bhaiya DSP.. hai sheher ke.. kuch nahi hoga na unhe.?? ( She fumbled madly )

Hassena rubbed her back...

Hassena ( crying and consoling ): shh.. shant ho jaye Karishma Singh. Aapke bhaiya ko kuch nahi ho sakta.. hum keh rahe nah.. aap baas apni Chachi ji se sach rahiye. Unhe aap sab ki jarurat hai.. hum chalte hai..

Hassena broke the hug and wiped Karishma's tears. And Karishma wiped Hassena's tears. Nalini smiled seeing them with teary eyes. She understood that If the situation got more worse they could handle themselves very well. Pushpa ji wiped her tears too as Hassena left the scene. They saw Hassena departing wherever she is going.

Ammi opened the door and found Hassena on the door. Hassena had plastered a normal expression on her face not to give tension to her mother. But mother's heart sensed that something is not good.

Ammi: Kya hua Hassena? Tu thik hai? ( Holding her shoulders )

Hassena: Ha Ammi hum thik hai, case solve karne gaye the. Case solve ho gaya.... Accha suniye hum na jara hamare kamre mein hai. Par aap abhi tak soi kyu nahi?

Ammi: Tera intezaar kar rahi thi main. Vaise Anubhav thik hai na? Usse hosh aa gaya?

Listening to Anubhav's name, Anubhav's face and Doctor's sentence flashed in her mind. She excused herself and left for her room in fear of not to broke down infront of her mother.

Hassena entered her room and sat on the bed with a thud. She rested her hands on either sides and broke down. She was crying very loudly, Ammi listening to her came upstairs.

Ammi ( banging the door ): Hassena, darvaja khol beta, tu ro kyu rahi hai? Hassena.. are darvaja khol na beta...

Hassena realised that she shouldn't put her mother in tension so she controlled her feelings and opened the door.

Ammi ( concerned ): Hassena Anubhav thik hai na?

Hassena: nahi Ammi. Unka operation hone vala hai, par.. unke bachne ke changes sirf 10% hai.. ( her voice choked in her throat and tears filled in her eyes )

Ammi ( caressing Hassena's hair and cheek ): tu fikr maat kar Hassena. Kuch nahi hoga usse. Jiske saath itne saare logon ki duaye aur pyaar hai uss shakhs se uski zindagi itni asani se juda nahi ho sakti..

Hassena glanced at her mother's face and then turned away. Ammi clutched Hassena's shoulders and turned her around.

Ammi: Ek baat kahu tu bura na maane to?

Hassena nodded.

Ammi: Tujhe aab Anubhav ko maaf kar dena chahiye... Hum jaante hai ki insaan ka swabhiman uske liye bohot jaruri hota hai... Par Anubhav ka irada kabhi bhi tere Swabhiman ko thes pohchane ka nahi tha, aur yeh tu bhi acche se jaanti hai. Vaise ek baat toh bata ki agar tu uski jagah par hoti toh kya karti?

Hassena looked at her mother and then recalled her Conversation with Nalini. She remembered how Nalini too confronted her by asking this question. But now her mother was too confronting her.

Hassena: hum jara change karke ate hai, hume hospital jana hai..

Ammi tried to speak but Hassena grabbed some clothes and ran into the washroom. After, getting ready she told her mother to sleep and not to wait for her, and drove to Hospital.

*********************

Hassena ran into Hospital and saw Nalini and Karishma sitting on different benches, they were still in the same clothes. Pushpa ji, wasn't there. Instead Santosh, Cheeta, Aarti and Akash were present there.

Hassena ( Hesitately ): Operation shuru ho gaya kya?

Nalini nodded.

Hassena sat beside Karishma and kept her hand on Karishma's shoulder.

Hassena ( to Santosh ): Pushpa ji kaha hai?

Santosh: Madam voh DSP sir ke Maa ke saath hai. Unhone hi kaha ki unhe kisi ke sahare ki jarurat hai, toh voh chali gayi.

Hassena: Kitna vakt ho gaya operation shuru hue?

Cheeta: madam, abhi adha ghanta ho gaya hai. Doctor ne kaha ki kam se kam do ghante lagenge.

Hassena nodded understanding. She noticed Karishma silently sobbing...

Hassena: Are Karishma Singh, aap ro kyu rahi hai? Aap hi ne kaha na ki aapke bhaiya sheher ke DSP hai, toh unhe kaise kuch ho sakta hai? Aap himaat rakhiye kuch nahi hoga unhe... Are Aarti tum hi samjhao na inhe..

Everyone was understanding that Hassena was somewhere broken from inside and she needed support and time to recover.

Aarti who was too silently crying and clutched Akash's hand tightly. Hassena saw this and felt sad. She wished if she could also held Anubhav's hands like this and request him not to leave them like this..

Aarti ( emotionally ): Hume toh kuch samajh hi nahi aa raha, yeh sab meri hi galti hai. Mujhe pehle hi sabhi ko bata dena chahiye tha ki shayad yeh sab Aatish aur Sanjana ka kaam hai, shayad unki yeh halat na hoti...

Karishma fisted her hands and stood up and walked towards Aarti.

Karishma ( Angrily ): bilkul thik keh rahi ho tum Aarti. Tumhare hi Karan hamare bhaiya aaise halat mein hai.. Maiya kasam hamare bhaiya ko kuch ho gaya na toh hum tumhe kabhi bhi maaf nahi kar payenge.

Aarti was in guilt listening to her and somewhat felt bad..

Nalini ( sternly ): Karishma Singh! Yeh vakt ek dusre ko blame karne ka nahi hai.

Karishma: aap toh aaisa hi kahengi na, aapki chamchi jo thehri yeh Aarti, par hum bhi bata rahe hai, ki agar bhaiya ko kuch ho gaya na toh hum vada karte hai ki zindagi bhar kabhi bhi aapki shakal nahi dekhenge. Aur pura lucknow jaanta hai ki Karishma Singh aapne vade ka kitna paaki hai...

Hassena who was sitting their decided to keep quiet along with everyone. They understood Karishma's condition and no one dared to reply Karishma further...
