Samay- Scene V


She happily picked up the phone and said “C M sahib I had being waiting for your phone since so many days. I know you would be busy with all types of work coming in but you can give some to your sweet ever loving wife and especially when she is giving such a big gift and is being a very sweet and obidentive. ” and at the receiving end she heard the voice of Trishant saying “I know I should call you but work pressure isn’t leaving. Okay, are you taking good care of yourself and baby. Hope that you are fine. I am right now in Dantewada and sitting outside in the lawn waiting for some rurals to come.” She could sense that he was trying to speak cheerfully but the voice seemed to be tired and exhausted. She got up from the room and was going down just as they were talking he told them the rural people have arrived and he will return in a day or so and she told that her research has being completed and she was right now forwarding the mail to authorities and that Monica and Tanay came for dinner last day after the duty in hospital as they were leaving her in home and just when she was in stairs, then only she heard a disturbance in the phone and suddenly heard some noises of like riots breaking out and then someone screaming in pain and after that the phone got dead. She tried a number of times after that but it was of no use because it wasn’t responding. Just at that moment something crept in her mind and she got very scared and suddenly she found herself slipping from the stairs............
When she opened her eyes she found herself in a sunflower coloured dress and Monica checking her pulse and fatal monitor and many bottles of different fluids like glucose and blood strapped to her whereas Tanay roaming around the room nervously as she was lying in the hospital room in Om. She tried to sit down which broke the fluency of minds of Monica and Tanay. Seeing her trying, Tanay and Monica leapt a breath of relief, Tanay said “Thank God, you woke up, we were trying since 5 hours, but you weren’t responding and we were tired with all the treatments. Now we can assume you are safe and we can also rest. Your house staff called us after seeing in slipping you in the stairs and you unconscious since then. Ok now you rest as Monica has given you some pain relivers. See in some time as by the normal procedure you will have to stay here for the next 24 hours just for safety. Then we will also talk a lot”
After an hour or so, Tanay and Monica entered with tea trolley and saw Prakriti unceasingly and drowsingly lying on the bed , they poured tea and set in on the bed tray. The nurses helped her to sit down on the bed and as they were drinking the tea, the most unfortunate question came when Pakriti asked “Is the baby ok?” Monica and Tanay uncomfortably twitched their cups and after asking twice or thrice, Monica silently said “We are sorry, we tried our level best but case turned out to be a complicated and it was possible only to save either of you and if had gone for the baby, it would have been still-born and won’t have survived plus we would have lost you and that was against the practicality and sense of justice and hypocracy. So we saved you but in this turn we lost the child. I am deeply regretted but you had a misgarage. You lost your child. ”
