Baabul

Chapter 4






Whole Story After Geet left that railway station...

 

(Any)  road in Busy Area of Juhu Mumbai


A big jam here at much busy road from last half n hour..due to huge crowd thronged the whole road...Some people were brutally beating a taxi driver because he hit a girl badly by his car...Situation was out of control for traffic police too..Now that girl was laying totally unconscious middle of that gathering in pool of blood...No one cared about her ...Everyone was busy in teaching lesson to that poor guy...Some where he was not responsible....It was that girl's fault who was crossing carelessly...

** (like me did today...by my fault I fell in mid of too busy birmingham road in hurry to cross lights )


A male came out of his car leaving it back with driver n cluster of vehicles.. where he had been also stuck ...Like whole Juhu was echoing with horns of transport..Making his way through all hurdles pushing crowd back...he reached near to girl who was on verge of death almost "Yeh pagal bheed (crowd) ki wajah se ambulance bhi nayi aa sakti yahan tak...I have to do something otherwise she will die.." He mumbled and without thinking twice he picked the girl in his lap...A policeman who was also trying to handle whole situation helped that generous male and with help of baton/ lathi charge made a way in mid of those mad crowd...


He crossed the road...It gonna take around 10 minutes to reach hospital near by..He himself had been totally drenched in blood...His white shirt totally turned out to be red..Breathless he was running...He instructed that kind policeman "Bhai apne phone se hu hu..se..hu hu..nahi nahi mere mere..." words were not coming out easily....


"Meri pocket  se phone nikaalo and dial  985*******...tell Dr. Verma its emergency and Rohit asked to get ready.."So his name was Rohit...He asked to use his phone because Dr. Verma couldn't ignore his phone... Policeman did so...With Rohit's message policeman  also told brief details of whole incident running fast ...He knew they had to land in Hospital Roshini nearby so no Rohit's instruction needed this time...


Inside hospital's emergency preparations were complete..Outside emergency staff was running out with stracher through main gate..Until Rohit had also reached picking that dying girl...Her pulse was sinking and hardly any breath was left in her...Face tilted to other side...mouth slightly open..no grip over self..Staff put her on stretcher and took her hurriedly to OT...


Dr. Verma just put a glance over Rohit and ran to OT without any word with him...as there was no time to discuss what happened...how happened...In panic and disturbing situation he was pacing back and forth outside OT for 2 hours..


Rohit Bajaj a well built tall man around 50...He was  one of main trustee of this Hospital Roshini..Even today he was on his way to hospital for a scheduled meeting to discuss the progress of new maternity section here..When this tragic episode happened..


That girl was non other than Geet..who was roaming around through out the roads in her same filthy rehab cloths and messy hair since morning...When she was teetering in a narrow street..some evil eyes / goans found her in such condition they chased her to be in their clutches..That cracking laughter n tapori outlook...terrified innocent girl and to save herself..she hide in a huge tandoor not in use outside closed dhabba..She spent three hours like a lifeless creature there..Shivering...without making any noise...


She peeped out of holes in the tandoor ..When found no one around she dared to come out and totally black from head to toe she ran and reached again main road...Trying to cross the road in such heavy traffic...totally puzzled she was in middle of road coz where to go ...how to be on other side ...She didn't know and hit against that taxi..But driver was not at any fault...It was Geet who came in front...In minutes crowd blocked the road..Like any angle Rohit came as saviour for her...But still she was struggling in between life and death there in OT..



At Hospital

Each person knew Rohit Bajaj..A business tycoon running successfully a chain of seven star and five star hotels around UK and US  now he was planning to establish self here in India...He spent major part of his life outside India but never gave up Indian Citizenship ...So every year he visited India till now...A member of many trusts and charitable societies as once his father was...


A nurse from hospital informed Rohit's wife Somya...So she also reached there as soon she got news...Many times she requested Rohit to sit down...to change shirt atleast that was given by a ward boy from hospital's laundry section...He was not ready to listen....


After wait of three hours atlast Dr. Verma came out...Removing his surgical cap..Still  disappointed...it was visible from his facial expressions that something went wrong...He nodded his head..Scared couple joined Dr.at OT Door..


" Dr.Verma what happened ? ..Its clear from your face...things are not well...boliye Dr.." Somya judged him rite...Before Rohit could ask anything instead Somya blasted..


Rohit had to eat out own words as Dr. Verma spoke up before he could " Please Somya..even you Rohit put hold on yourselves...nurse ne bataya tum ek pal bhi nahi beith tab se...But as a doctor I don't want to give false hopes..We have done what was in our hands....due to severe bleeding and head injury she is in coma...Just pray to God for some miracle now " he consoled Rohit putting hand over his shoulder...


What to say after such shock...Struck dumb for some moments Rohit glared Dr. without blink...When Somya shook him...Rohit came back to senses
What..wh...what did you wanna say ? Ku.ku..Kunal (Dr. Verma ) how could u think so...A life saviour can't run away  like this dropping  weapons" stuttering he held Dr. Verma from collars in a jiffy...


"Rohit !!! this hospital is one of best hospitals in city with all facilities and best team of doctors available...I am in this field from last 22 years...How many surgeries I have performed ? How many lives I have saved even I don't know...You have to keep trust in me and my team...We will do whatever we can to save her..Next 24 hours are crucial.."  For Dr. Verma it was unavailable how his best friend could distrust him..His capability ...Much annoyed by heart...still he behaved normally as could understand Rohit's state of mind...How Dr. Verma could forget that episode of Rohit and Somya's lives which shattered them to pieces...


She didn't belong to them..Then why this couple felt a strange bonding with her ? Everyday  Rohit and Somya they kept on visiting her one by one..After three days there was a ray of hope when Dr. Verma declared her out of danger...She had been shifted out of ICU still was in coma...Its been 8 long days when she opened her eyes...Couldn't recognise herself..couldn't say anything...


Dr. Verma didn't take that much time to judge Geet's real mental condition..She could be hyper..could be violent..so didn't allow Bajaj couple to meet her....she was on tranquilizers intentionally to keep her unconscious

23 Days later

Somya got good news that they could meet Geet...But Rohit was out of town to visit his unwell Aunt..." Abhi main he mil aati hu..us bechaari bacchi se " her heart melted with grief thinking about Geet ..who was unknown yet to Somya...So she reached hospital in half n hour.......


This is end of the whole episode how Geet reached hospital ...


Coming Back to Present :  Somya with Geet


link their convo from chapter three when she convinced Geet as a wellwisher...

 "Nahi nahi sabhi gande hai..meri maa ne mujhe dande se pitta( beat her )..yeh dekho " showing marks on her one arm and scratches over other she sobbed...." Aur Brij Chachu...usne na..usne na...mujhe dhake maare ( pushed hard)..mera sar diwaar per patka ( hit hars against wall ) bahut dard ho raha hai ..wo fir se maarega.." she grabbed her head with hands like things happened moments back..she sobbed..tears rolled down to cheeks from over flooded eyes..



"Bas bas chup ho jaayo beta...koi nahi hai yahan...sabko police ne jail main dal diya hai...(put behind bars )....jis..jis ne tumko maara tha.." Somya brushed her hair and wiped her tears..Her heart was crying for Geet...Just to calm terrified girl she made this excuse that police caught her family..In reality she new nothing about family as even  Geet's name too..
**(we know her as Geet but not they..)


" Sacchi...sacchi..." her hope filled eyes desired to trust Somya and she did..
" Sachi.." she nodded in yes...


Where Geet's mind was taking her to ..she wasn't able to memorise anything about her past events... Even how she met with accident she knew nothing...Why suddenly her mind picked some selective episodes of his previous life...?


She trusted Somya...also she identified herself that she was Geet...which she had forgotten from ages...nothing else than this...Dr. Verma asked not to pressurize her more...


" Somya...its not surprising...I revealed to both of you that this girl Geet...I mean as she identified herself as Geet...she is not mentally stable..." thoughtfully he shrinked brows and got up from his chair ..


"Whatever she narrated you about her...especially  family's brutality... I am not 100% sure..quite possibly a major reason behind her condition.and that inhuman behaviour she couldn't forget..." Dr. Verma tried to sought out Somya's confusion about Geet's  narrations...


Rohit came to meet her...In days she started to trust on Bajajs...Still she behaved like child but her condition was totally different from Banglore's..Side by side her treatment in hospital...Dr. Verma recommended psychiatric treatment too for Geet...So Anu Gupta was her psychiatrist now and her efforts worked and Geet reacted positively toward her...


She was improving...bit by bit...with each sitting..smiling..having fun.....She also memorised her address now....After four months with special permission from authorities Couple took her to their home as care takers...


In next two months Geet was able to express whole devastating episode of her life to Bajaj couple .How Brij freed himself from her responsibility on the eve of Lohri ( a north indian festival on 13th Jan ) ...Throwing her in front of Maan...after that her memory was totally blank...She was normal to some extent but when even came under depression she had panic attacks...


One day...

She had flashbacks about the incident which changed her whole life forever... Everything was in her memory like any film ..Maan and Geet both met in that workshop held in Jalandhar,Punjab..During that Maan's friend invited them for a small get together...away from family to celebrate his birthday at night..Where due to her friends' silly bet with each other that who could make her talli...she drank drink mixed with wine...


Maan who was under spell of Geet's charm ..He was already heavily drunk...How they both ended up in a punctured Caravan..parked in deserted old parking of hotel not in use...He started to kiss her madly...this was her first encounter with any male so close ...She couldn't control her desire too...


She was laying in mid of caravan's back seats..With enough space for both...Maan totally aroused her kissing passionately biting her on bare shoulders...back visible more than usual through low cut sleeveless top...She ripped of his shirt..responded back with same passion...biting him on torso top to bottom...


too be continued..keep dreaming whats next..... :)
