"STILL UNFORGIVEN"

Sumedh was lying on hospital bed. He opened his eyes and saw a blur finger standing at near his life support. She was wearing blue jeans and pink kurta. Sumedh saw her face.

Sumedh:
Mallika??

Mallika immediately sat beside him and held his hand tight. Her eyes just had concern.

Mallika:
Kaisa feel ho raha hai abhi?
Sumedh:
I...I don't know....I am feeling numb.
Mallika:
Relax dawai ka asar hai.
Sumedh:
Vikram kaha hai?
Mallika:
He is dead. I killed him.
Sumedh:
What!! Wow! Par tumhe kya hua hai?
Mallika:
Matlab?
Sumedh:
Pink?! Kurta?!
Mallika:
Just mood tha.
Sumedh:
Mujhe kya hua hai? Why am I in the hospital? I heard 3 gun shots.
Mallika:
Well....I shot Dad....I mean Vikram 2 times in the head....I didn't give him time to press the trigger. And.....I shot u between shoulder and neck.
Sumedh:
Mujhe bachaya kyun Mallika?
Mallika:
Tumhe maarna nahi tha mujhe.
Sumedh:
Oh kyunki Anil marne wala hai na!

He said sarcastically. She frowned.

Mallika:
Excuse me? Tumne mujhe itna bada dhoka nahi woh yaad nahi tumhe?
Sumedh:
And I am sorry for that!
Mallika:
Sorry bolne se sab theek hoga?

She said in higher tone

Sumedh:
Chilana band karo! Hospital hai ye!
Mallika:
Tum chup karo! Khabardaar agar mujhse ucchi awaj mein baat ki toh! Maafi mangkar koi ehsaan nahi kiya hai tumne!

Sumedh holds her hand and pulls her to him, she is half hovering on him.

Sumedh:
Maaf kardo mujhe Mallika.

Sumedh lowering his voice to the lowest to create impact on her. He looks straight into her eyes.

Sumedh:
Main jaanta hu ki Delhi toh mujhe jaana hi padega, yeh bhi jaanta hu ki wah jakar ya toh arrest hojaunga, ya toh maar diya jaaunga...Maine life mein jo kuch bhi kiya hai....Sahi kiya hai. Vikram ne jo kiya paiso keliye kiya...par maine jo kiya woh apne desh keliye aur apni maa ko justice dene keliye kiya...I don't have any regrets EXPECT ONE....PLAYING WITH YOUR FEELINGS. Meri life ki sabse badi galti hai tumhe dhoka dena...Bass maaf kardo mujhe.

Mallika stared at him with watery eyes.

Sumedh:
Jiss Mallika ko maine itne saalo mein kabhi rote nahi dekha...Woh aaj kal baat baat pe roti hai, pata hai wajah kya hai?
Mallika:
Kya?
Sumedh:
SUMEDH MUDGALKAR.

Before Mallika could react, Doctors came in the room.
They examined Sumedh, told that he'll get better in 1 month, will be discharged tomorrow. He got a fracture bandage over his hand to prevent any further damage.

Later in room.

Sumedh:
Maaf karogi mujhe Mallika?
Mallika:
Afternoon flight hai to Delhi...Waha decide hoga, tumhare naseeb mein London hai, jail ya--
Sumedh:
Yeh mere sawal ka jawab nahi hai Mallika.
Mallika:
Mujhse sawal ka haq kho chuke ho tum...And Sumedh, its Major Mallika for you.

She says looking straight into his eyes. Sumedh looked down

Sumedh:
Fine! Major Mallika!
