Vel woke up with a start. His head was hurting very badly. For sometime he felt disorientated and everything was so confusing. Wasn't he in his car trying to escape the killer truck? How was he here then? Was he dead? No.. This was not heaven this was her room. Where was she? Why is he in her bed? Each question seemed to increase his headache by a notch.
" Ah! Finally you are awake" said a familiar voice. Now who was this? Vel stared at the person to whom the voice belonged. After some starings his mind registered the person as Mark, his friend from high school. He was an advocate who specialises in human rights. What was he doing here. Did his Conference end? Or did he take a break again?
"What are you doing here? "
"Well! Am baby sitting"
'What is going on here. I can't make a head or tail ' thought Vel. He needed his answers and Mark wasn't helping.
The doctors came and checked him. They said that they were happy that he made it after a week. The date on the calendar days that he was involved in the accidents less than 2 days ago. If that was the case then how could he be sleeping in this hospital for more than a week? The day they said he came to the hospital with a head injury conjured with the day he rescued Valli from the goons.
"How is the driver?"
"Which driver are you taking about?" asked Mark.
"The one who chauffeured my car a couple of days ago when I was travelling to the new project for a site visit and study".
"Were you dreaming? You are in this hospital this room with all those tubes stuck here and there for the last 7 days"
This completely shattered Vel's confidence.
Still he continued " How is she? "
Mark now seethed in anger. "That she. . Cheated you. . Used you. Yet you idiot. You are worrying for her? " Now it was Vel's turn to be angry "Not Neeta. Am asking about her, Valli".
Now how did Vel know her name was Valli? Didn't he name her Sri because he didn't want to think of her as that girl and also because he didn't know her name.
Mark took a deep breath and replied.
" The day you found Neeta using you, you broke down. You were traumatised. Vikram had to track your phone to find you. He brought you here in an unconscious state. You have woken up today"
Vel just stared at Mark...
The girl, the killer truck were they all the fragments of his imagination?
WAS HE DREAMING?
