TERI DEEWAANI

The Accident

The Flashback...( 5 Years Back )

Prachi :

It was still raining heavily, and I was sitting on the bench outside the Doctor's cabin.

My Papa was admitted in a local city hospital from past 2-3 months, after getting a heart-attack.

the doctors were successful to save his life but he ended up getting paralysed and was bedridden from 2-3 months. the treatment was going on in it's slow pace, but from past 4-5 day my Papa's general condition started deteriorating.

Dr. Reeva, the cardiologist who was handling my Papa's case called me to her cabin and explained the details about his condition, according to her No more medications were effective on him any more.

"I am sorry Prachi, I have tried my level best, but it seems like your father is not responding to the medicines anymore, he needs a surgery, an open heart Surgery." She said.

I was horrified by the statement of Dr. Reeva, My Papa was not just a family member to me, he was my entire world, since my childhood, I have always been very close to him, I can't lose him at any cost.

"Doctor, please just do the needful, anything which can save him, I don't want to lose him, please doctor I beg to you, please do the surgery if you think it will help." I started crying uncontrollably.

"That is what I want to say Prachi, I cannot do the surgery as I am a Cardiologist, not a Cardiac Surgeon, and if you want this surgery to be done then you will have to contact a Cardiac surgeon for this." She replied.

"But doctor, I don't know any of them please help me, I will do anything for my Papa." I said trying to control my tears.

"If you are this much concern for your Papa, then I can suggest you one of the best Cardiac Surgeons of India, He was my Junior in Medical College and he was the Topper of his batch, and now he is the best Cardiac surgeon I have ever known, although he is quite busy these days and rarely finds out time to deal with references of other doctors but he can Handle your father's case if I can request him." Dr. Reeva said.

" Yes Doctor, please talk to him, if he can treat my Papa, I will be really thankful to him." I said.

" But Prachi, the problem is that you will have to go Delhi for that." She replied.

And I was determined to go to Delhi just for my Papa, I can do anything to make him recover his Illness.

I insisted Dr. Reeva and finally she gave me the Name and Address of the hospital in Delhi, she suggested me about Dr. Kushaal Shergil, the Cardiac surgeon who can give my papa the best kind of treatment, at the end, I thanked Dr. Reeva and Came out of her cabin, I talk to Maa and Avni about it and they agreed to accompany with me to Delhi as well.

After getting all the medical reports and Transfer papers, I packed all my stuff and headed towards Delhi.

Two days later....

I finally reached Delhi, at the given address of the hospital, by Dr. Reeva.

Maa, Avni and I admitted Papa in Sanjeevni hospital and I went straight to the Cardiac surgery department to talk to Dr. Kushaal but to my disappointment, when I met his Manager, she told me that Dr. Kushaal is currently out of India for a global Medical Conference and it will take atleast 15-20 days for him to came back to India.

I knew my papa can not wait that long for the surgery and even a delay of one week will also be life threatening for him as Dr. Reeva told me, but I had no other option than to wait for Dr. Kushaal Shergil.

"What did the Dr. Said.?" Maa questioned me as soon as I reached them.

" When will they do the surgery Di?" Avni asked me as well.

" Will papa be alright after the surgery, will he be normal again, will he talk to us again?" Avni added with tears in her eyes. I know she is as much worried as me.

"Actually, the doctor is Out of India right now, and he will not be back before 20 days." I revealed to them.

" What..!!!???" They both shouted together with same amount of shock visible on their faces.

" But it's a really long time how will we manage to..." Maa was saying but I stopped when I wiped her tears with my hand.

" Don't worry, I will talk to Dr. Reeva, if she can help us." I assured them and they sat on the bench outside the hospital.

"Maa, you haven't eaten anything properly since two days, I will bring something for you to eat first." I said and she nodded.

Although I know all of us haven't had proper food from last 2-3 days, after getting to know about Papa's condition.

I signalled Avni to sit with Maa, and went to the other side of the road to bring some packed food from a nearby shop. After buying some snacks I turned to go back to them but as I was crossing the road, I saw a Young Beautiful girl, almost of my age talking to someone on the phone, she was so engaged in the call that she didn't saw a car coming towards her.

I tried to warn her by shouting at her but it's seems like she didn't hear me. Before the car can hit her, I ran towards her and Pushed her at an another side of the road but I could not save myself from getting hit by the car, in order to save her, I came between her and the car and I felt a sudden shot of pain as the car hit me, I fell towards the other side of the road and my head got collided to the nearby stone, I could feel wetness in my hair, I touched my head and saw Blood on my hand but before I could analysis something, Darkness engulfed me.
