Ram barged in Dr. Neha's room and was ecstatic...he screamed her name : " Neha, Neha, I got to tell you something...
Neha who was silently seating on her desk could garner from Ram's reactions and was glad to receive them...
" Ram, Ram, ok, please sit down..baithke baat karte hai..."
Ram ecstatically : " Neha, Priya showed some improvement..she just moved her fingers , not only that, she clutched my hands Neha..." He showed her the hand which Priya clutched on...
Neha could read the excitement on his face but kept herself calm...
Ram snapped at her and could glance her subdued face...he reasoned : " Neha, arent you happy?"
Neha (taking a pause) : "Ofcourse I am Ram...but..."
Ram ( stern) : "But what...?"
Neha : " Ram, Yes I am happy but...the thing is Priya is showing minute improvements...nothing major as such..so..."
Ram (tensed but firm) : " So what Neha...?"
Neha : " Ram, I am trying to put in highly qualified team for Priya since I too want her to be fit and fine as early as it can...but she is not responding much as per what I could see..."
Ram (agitated) : " Neha, how could you even say this? Cmon you are a doctor..you should not talk about negative propositions...you should talk about positive aspects...for you these minute reactions wouldnt act major but for me it does matter a lot..I could see her moving..I could feel her sensing me around...I could see that she listens to me...I could all see that Neha..why cant you...?"
Neha (calming down) : " Ram I dont want to live in false hopes neither I can allow you to live in false hopes...Ram...these are very minute signs but we cant say that she can survive..." Neha immediately stops saying that last word and looks at Ram who has become all pensive and more angrier...
He continues : " Neha...I dont know what is happening and why it is happening..the only thing I know that I believe in my love and destiny...my destiny is Priya and I for sure know that she is going to be alright...Neha...as a doctor keep doing your duties , let me be very clear that money will never be an issue...but dont give up the survival hopes..." "If your 99% says that she wont come out of the coma and will eventually die..then be it..but I keep my 1% which says that she will be fine and will win against all odds...I believe in my love for her and her trust on me..."
He walks out leaving Neha in the midst of emotions...on one hand she was a responsible doctor who said spade as a spade though she hated to do that...and on the other she was a friend who genuinely cared and wanted everything to be fine for her best friend and his wife...
Ram came inside the room to find a disastrous scene...He saw Priya lying on the floor all unconscious...
He barged in and moved near her calling her name : " Priya...Priya..."
He sat besides her and could see her body lying on the floor like a cold one...He took her in his arms...and patted her cheeks...calling her : " Priya, Priya...you listening..."
He again patted her , though this time the force was a little big : " Priya, Priya you listening me..."
With no improvement he again shouted her name..the force of patting was more this time but to no avail...
He left her safely on the floor and went to call a doctor...
His voice was having the feel of urge..."I need a doctor right now...make sure he/she reaches as early as possible..."
