Happy New Year

January 1st, 2020, 2:00AM

"Close the windows naa" She mumbled.

Her voice broke my thoughts of how I my life had changed in a past few months.I had never even dreamt of starting a new year with this angel, who had danced like a maniac few hours back, now sleeping like a baby in my passenger seat. Her Mangalsutra shined under the passing streetlights. Pressing the window button, I wished I could stop the car and watch her all-night. I turned to the back seat to get my jacket, I heard a bark and that's when I saw this dog on the road. Ohhhh Shiiiiittt

SKID

and before I realized what happened, I lost control of the car and hit the road divider.

Plop opened my Airbag. My head bounced against the soft material. Thank god! Ufff and that's when I heard her voice.

I turned to look at her lying on the dashboard.Damn!I should have made her wear the seat belt at least.

"Shru wake up" "Shru wake up". Her head started bleeding.

That is when I realized that something was wrong. I started the car, but DAMN!!! This one didn't budge. By the time I could digest what was happening, I was at the hospital filling up the forms.

Thankfully, the ambulance was nearby and there was a specialist in-charge for tonight. Counting my blessings, I sat near in the corridor praying everything will be fine.

"She has lost so much of blood. We need at least 2 units of blood". said the doctor.

"Okay fine I'll pay for it" I replied.

"Sorry we don't have any stock of blood at the hospital "

"I can give my blood. I guess both of our blood group is the same"

"Guess?"

"I'm not sure of her blood group," I told him guiltily. How the hell can I not know my wife's blood group !!

"Aren't you her husband?"

"Yes. But..........." I didn't know what to reply.

"Collect the number from the receptionist and get it as soon as possible. At present, I'll give her one unit of blood but please make it by 4 hours."

"Just lend me 10 minutes doctor I'll go bring it"

"It isn't chocolate that I'm asking for and her blood group is B positive" he retorted while walking away without waiting for my reply.

The receptionist gave me the number and address of the blood bank. But this was 10 km away, and I realized that I did not have any vehicles.

"is there any other place nearby"

"no sir, this one is the nearest"

It is 3AM. I called my friend asking for a vehicle. Nope, he didn't pick the call and neither did anybody else. All of them would have been lying somewhere drunken and drowned in alcohol. If not for Shru, maybe even I might have been the same.

Looking at my plight, the receptionist suggested that I go ask the relatives of patients for blood. I ran around the corridors running like a madman, waking up the sleeping ones, and getting negative and rude responses instead.

This was the first time that I have begged for something in my life. Had it not been for my carelessness.......... I decided to put up a message everywhere.

There were Hundreds of "HAPPY NEW YEAR" notifications waiting for 'Thank you same to you' on my mobile.
