We rushed to the hospital and asked for Meghna in the reception area.She was still in the emergency room.Meghna lay on a stretcher,her beautiful face,blood stained and her arm in a terrifying shape.She was in a total mess.
"Who is Abishek here?",a nurse called out.
We walked towards the desk where there was a nurse and a doctor.
"You are all her friends?",the doctor asked.
We nodded and Virat asked,"How is she,doctor?"
"I don't think she has any brain injury.She has a broken arm and foot."
We completed all the formalities and she was immediately taken to the ICU!
Abishek and Virat went to meet the police and came back in a few minutes.
"What happened?",I asked.
"A truck driver has come in the wrong way and has happened to hit her."
"Dammit!Those who are at fault get away unharmed,only the innocents suffer.What justice!",I said,sarcastically.
We sat on the chairs near the ICU and waited for more information from the doctors.After an hour,the doctor came out of the ICU and we rushed to him.
Seeing us,he said,"She needs an immediate surgery in her right arm.Please arrange for the money quickly."
Meghna's parents are in Dubai.Abishek called them and told them about the accident.They told him that they would send the money and offered to come in a couple of days.But we told them that we would manage without their presence and that they needn't worry.We promised to keep giving them updates."
The surgery began in almost two hours and all of us were really tensed.Abishek just couldn't sit still.Its been almost an hour since the surgery began and no news has come so far.Soon,a nurse came out of the operation theatre.
"Is the surgery over?",I asked.
"No,she is having complications.Her blood pressure has dropped and her heart functioning is reducing rapidly.The doctors are trying their best."
Abishek couldn't hold it in anymore.He sat on the chair and broke down.Virat tried all he could to console him,but he just wouldn't listen.
"I love her,Virat.How do you expect me to be calm when she is fighting for her life.I won't even live a second without her.If she happens to die then..."
"Stop that!",I said,kneeling in front of him.
"Don't say that again.Meghna is a fighter.She'll be back on her toes soon.You don't need me explaining about her character to you.You know her better.Even if the doctors lose hope,I won't.See if she doesn't come back to kiss you hard.Wait for the fun!",I said.
He chuckled,wiping away his tears.
"You're right.She is a fighter."
After two hours,the doctors came out.
"The surgery has been successfully completed.She had little problems in the middle but she made through it.She'll be shifted to the private room tonight.If all goes well,she can be discharged in about three days."
Tears of joy endlessly flowed down Abishek's face.The look of happiness and relief on his face was priceless.
"Heard of miracles?This is one of them."
"No.Its your confidence that kept her going.You are one of a kind,my girl!",Abishek said,hugging me.
After sometime,they allowed us to see her.She was still unconscious.Her right arm and foot were in a cast.She had a couple of pillows under her leg and a bandage on her forehead.
