chapter-42.darpan

It was going to be morning and samrat had been to use washroom as usual.He was leaving but stopped noticing a sanitary pad.
"Sanitary pad...chashmish ne tou use nhi kiya hoga as she is pregnant "he said to himself.
Till then he heard the sound of gunjan who was banging bathroom's door.
"Chashmish nahane ke liye aa rhi hai agar wo ye pad use karegi tou obviously ye pad nhi hoga aur agar nhi karegi tou ye pad yahin hoga"he mulled

He got out of the bathroom to let gunjan have bathe.After gunjan did all her activities in bathroom, he checked on the rack and didn't found the pad there.His eyes veered to a black plastic that contained used sanitary pads.
"Chashmish ne bachhe ko abort kar diya hai...no she cldnt do that muje puri sachai Janne ke baad hi kuchh kehna theek hoga"he thought.

Two days latter he asked gunjan for doctor's checkup and gunjan agreed for his surity.They went to clinic and gunjan asked him to stay outside.Gunjan was tensed and saw a lady.she went inside doctors cabin and settled herself on chair.Few minutes latter,she appeared in front of samrat and showed her ultrasound report.But Samrat realised something amiss is going on.
"Mai washroom se ata hoon tum bahar Wait Karo auto ko deko"he said making an excuse.
Gunjan:okay

Samrat secretly went in doctor's cabin as soon as he saw gunjan left.
"Yes... come in"said doctor
"Aapki wife I mean jinko aap leke aye hain wo kidhar obviously aap tou pregnant nhi ho skte"she continued.
Samrat:muje unke bare mei Janna hai kuchh jo avi avi lady gyi hain
Doctor:feel free
Samrat:doctor aisa possible hai kya ki pregnant ladki periods mei ho
Doctor:no way
Samrat:but ultrasound report tou normal ayi hai
Doctor:how by the way aap baat kiski kar rhe hain coz yahan pe do ladies ayi thi.Ek chashme mei thi aur ek normal salwar kameez mei
Samrat:jo chashme mei thi uski
Doctor:but uska tou ultrasound hua hi nhi haan jo salwar kameez mei thi uska Maine Kiya hai infact wo yahan regular checkup ke liye ati hain.jo chashme mei thi unhe Maine phli baar dekha
"Matlab chashmish ne muje kisi aur ka ultrasound report dikaya"samrar said under his breath
Doctor:any problem
Samrat:no but I think she may have come here for abortion
Doctor:oh common mister what r u saying.Abortion ke case ke liye humare clinic mei appointment ka date Lena padta hai.by the way who r u

Doctor:okay if she may have gone through abortion then the bleeding will happen till 2weeks.okay now next question is she having milky discharge from her breasts
Samrat:I didn't noticed that
Doctor:okay these r the main signs that we cld figure out externally in women's body.now u cld go and check the register in the counter

Samrat checked the register but he didn't find gunjan's name.

"Yani gunjan ne dusre hospital mei abortion krwaya Taki muje pata na chale.kahin usne abortion mere pata chalne se phle tou nhi krwaya"he said in mind

"Kahin Maine hi koi galti tou nhi kardi isey samajne mei isey pyaar krne mei.dil keh rha hai ki chashmish aisa nhi kar skti lekin agar mai sochun tou isne mujse jhooth bola hai.Akhir abortion mujse discuss kar ke v tou kara skti thi if she was not ready "he said in grief.

"Samrat chalein let's go"gunjan called after getting auto.samrat was silent on the whole way.He quitely get out of the auto and went to the room.

Gunjan felt something wierd but she ignored when he offered her water.
"Chashmish....tum kaisi ho and how is the baby"asked samrat
Gunjan:samrat mai v theek hoon aur baby v ultrasound report dikaya tou tha
"Kisi aur ka..."he said that left gunjan perplexed
Gunjan:kaisi baat kar rhe ho Samrat
