Ashima....
Ashima....
Vishal screamed in the lobby of the hospital where his fiance' was supposedly admitted
A nurse came running to him
"sir, please stay quiet, it's a hospital"
"sister, there is a family that just got addmitted, where are they"
"The road traffic accident case?"
vishal nodded to avoid attracting any more eyes to him
"Oh, sir they are in the I.C.U, you please wait, you cant go in.."
"how are they, are they fine??"
"i'll let you meet the doctor who is handling them, sir you please relax and take a seat..." saying this the nurse left, ordering the ward boy to get glass of water for vishal
vishal was waiting in the lobby, it was easy for the nurse to say, relax, but was impossible for vishal, his to be wife was in the hospital and he didn't know how was she.
The I.C.U door opened, a Doctor walked out..
vishal rushed to him and asked him
"sir... ashima... ashima garg, how is she sir....??""
"relax young man, you sit, will talk to you in a moment, are you a relative??"
"i am her fiance'"
"you relax son, we will get back to you in a while"
Before vishal could ask him anything he went inside, vishal tried to go inside I.C.U
but was stopped by the watchman.
Vishal turned back to see his dad and younger brother approaching him.
"beta, kaise hai woh"
vishal could not fight his tears anymore
"the doctor said nothing"
"everything will be fine"said his dad
.
the coffee was over, the sky was dark, i could already see some tears in his eyes, don't know why i was getting a feeling the bhaiya was somewhere related to this story, i said nothing, i took his cup and put it down, and leaned forward and rested my chin on my hand, trying to convey my interest in listening to the whole story, he continued.....
.
the doctor came out of the ICU, vishal was the first one to notice ...
he was there in front of him in a flash,
"doctor how are they".....
"see we could not save the girl, i am sorry" The doctor said trying his level best to handle vishal who's heart stopped palpitating.
"how are the other people" vishal's brother asked....
"The head of the family, has a crushed arm, the mother also has fractured her ribs, the boy has fractured his shoulder and arm, and the other girl has a brain clot and skull fracture, only one of you can come in to see them, but make sure..." the doctor was not complete with what he had to say but vishal cut him in between,
"what do you mean the other girl, ashima was their only daughter??"
"what??, there were 2 young girls who were in the car" the doctor said that
"what do you mean by that, ASHIMA IS THE ONLY DAUGHTER"vishal said
"See, anyone of you can come to identify them."the doctor said and called a nurse to take one of them in.
vishal was overwrought,confused and completely clueless of what was going.
Seeing this, vishal dad decided to go in...
it took him sometime and vishal would give the door of ICU a look every 2 seconds.
his dad came out of the door,
"dad, kya hua, tell me she not the one..."vishal was almost out of control
"son, its not ashima, its someother girl who must be travelling with them"
"how is ashima papa???"
" she has a brain clot, the doctors are preparing for the operation"
.

vishal was at least a bit hopeful now....
