Part 8

Hm, Ps: Kaisi hai Karu?

Dr: Patient ki halat bilkul bhi thik nhi hai. Itne saare jakham kam the, ki unhe wo goli bhi lag gayi. Jakham septic hone ke bohot chances hai, aur septic bhi aise wounds ho rahe hai, joh janleva ho sakte hai. Goli heart ke bohot kareeb lagi hai, almost touch kr chuki thi wo. Aur baachi bilkul bhi respond nhi kr rahi hai. Jaise usse wapas ane keliye koi motivation hi na ho. Hum apko koi jhuti Umeed nhi de sakte, isliye bata rahe hai, ki shayad wo nhi bach payengi.

Both Hm and Ps are shattered. Ps's lalla comes to pick her up in hospital as she is broken down.

Hm sits alone in the hospital, thinking about Ks and her memories. Doctors have given her permission to sit beside Ks, but she is sitting on the sofa in her room. She has called Ks family but they refused to come. Only Anubhav, decided to come, and that too for Hm. He arrives there to see tears flowing continuously from Hm's eyes.

He sits beside her and takes her in his embrace, she hugs him tightly.

Hm: (crying) Ye sab humari galti hai, hum... hum unhe bacha nhi paye. Itne din se ye sab chalta raha aur humne ye hone diya.

As: Shant ho jaiye priye.

A nurse comes to take the stats.

Hm: Kaise shant ho jaye anu, ho sakta hai ki Ks hume chod ke humesha humesha keliye...(A sob breaks her words)

As: Idhar dekhiye humari taraf priye, (she looks at him) agar aise hota hai toh bohot aacha hoga.

Hm removes his hand from her cheeks and looks at him angrily.

Hm: Yeh kaisi baate kr rahe hai aap Anu.

As: Shush humari puri baat suniye. Shaadi ke din, hume behosh krke Ks ne apse shadi kr li. Agar abhi Ks ko kuch ho jata hai, toh aap iss bandhan se ajad ho jayengi. Hum phir se ek ho sakte hai Haseena ji. Baat samaj ne ki koshish kijiye.

Here, Ks was starting to gain consciousness and hears these words, which breaks her heart. She loses all hope to live at that instant and closes her eyes again.

The nurse has checked the stats and heard everything as well, and she is sad for Ks. Suddenly Ks breathes become fast and shallow. Nurse calls the doctor. And tells him the situation immediately.

Hm: Kya hua, kya Karu ko hosh araha hai?

Nurse: Aap bahar jaiye madam, aur aap bhi sir. Doc yaha pe dekh lenge.

As goes out but Hm is adamant to stay here.

Nurse: Aap bhi plz bahar jaiye madam.

Hm: Nhi mujhe batao ki kya ho raha hai yeh.

N: Samaj lijiye ki apki dua kabool hui.

Hm: Matlab?

N: Shayad ye unki akhri saasein hongi madam. Unhe hosh araha tha jab unhone apki aur unn sir ki baate suni. Agar unke bachne ka koi rasta tha toh aab wo bhi band ho chuka hai.

Dr: Hum defibs use karenge. Patient ki heart beat band ho chuki hai. 360. On my count. 1,2,3

They give Ks shocks three times, but she does not respond.

Dr: Note the time of death.
