Zoya took the reports and was on her way back to the emergency department. She was in a hurry so she didn't notice that her colleague nurse was coming in the same direction with a coffee. She bumped into her and in no time the coffee was all over Zoya.
Suhana: So sorry Zoya. Maine dekha hi nahi bilkul. Tumhare sab kapre kharab kar diay.
Zoya: Koi baat nahi Suhana. Coffee hi hai na daag nikal de ge hum.
Suhana saw the file Zoya had in her hand.
Suhana: Kya yeh wohi new high-profile emergency case hai
Zoya: Jee. Hum bas wahin jaa rahe hain
Suhana: Zoya are you out of your minds?
Zoya: Kya matlab?
Suhana: Matlab keh tum aise jao gi with a stain on your uniform.
Zoya: Haan toh?
Suhana: Madam aapko pata bhi hai keh lady kon hai?
Zoya: Lady kon hai-
Meanwhile, the doctor came to her and scolded her for being late. He asked her to come to the patient with him. She went with the doctor without listening to Suhana.
Over the patient still, 2-3 doctors were present. The doctor who brought Zoya asked her to put a new IV line and give antibiotics. She went back to get the medicines. Another nurse came with a paper and gave it to you saying that this is a consent form and they need to get a signature from the man who accompanied her to the hospital.
On asking her why was she not going. She said another doctor gave her work and he has pissed off already so he can't waste more time.
Zoya quickly got the medicines, put the IV line without giving much notice to the patient. She went to the person who was on the call just outside the emergency room.
Zoya: Excuse me. Is the patient with you?
Guy turned behind while on the phone. Zoya saw him and was dumbstruck for a moment. It was Aditya. Aditya Hooda- Her favorite tv star. He was in front of him.
Aditya: Yes?
She was so into the moment that she didn't realize she was staring at Aditya while he was asking her. He then snapped his fingers in front of her.
Aditya: Apne kuch kaha ya kuch kehna hai?
Zoya: Jee. Patient aapke saath hain?
Aditya: She is my wife, Pooja Hooda.
Zoya: Aapko iss consent form pe sign karna hoga.
She gave him the paper and turned back.
Aditya: Excuse me. Kya aap explain kari gi yeh kis baare mai hai.
Zoya: Apna kaam kariye Zoya. Patient ka sawal hai.
Zoya: Dekhiye aapki wife is pregnant and she developed pneumonia probably baarish mai dance karke bheegne waqt. Bache aur maa dono ko khatra hai. Yeh consent form patient ke closest member se sign karwaya jaata hai in case koi emergency procedure karna pade.
Aditya signed the form and gave it to him. She started walking back when it struck him.
Aditya: Mera dil phir itni zor ka kyun dhadak raha hai. kya hogyaa hai mujhe. aajkal larkiyoon ki aankhon mai dekh kar aisa kyun feel hota hai. Wait a second, Isko kaise pata Pooja baarish mai dance kar rahi thi.
The doctor then called him and explained the next steps to be taken. After some time, the doctors left leaving Aditya beside Pooja. He was too tired. He was having a headache and sneezing too.
Zoya came with medicine and water in her hand.
Zoya: Mr Aditya Hooda.
Aditya: Yes. Yes. What happened?
Zoya: Relax. Humke aapke liye medicine lai hain.
Aditya: But maine toh nahi mangwai.
Zoya: Humne dekha aapko sneezing karte hue aur lag raha tha headache bhi horaha hai. Yeh medicine le lijiye, aapko behtar mehsoos hoga.
Aditya took the medicine. Zoya was about to leave when he asked her to stop.
Aditya: Kya main aapse ek sawaal puch sakta hu?
Zoya: Jee puchiye.
Aditya: Thodi der pehle aapne mujhe kaha keh Pooja ki yeh halat baarish mai bhegne se hui hai dance karte waqt. Maine toh yeh aapko nahi bola.
Zoya: Sach bolu ya jhoot?
Aditya: Kya tumhe jhoot bolke neend aai gi kyunke mujhe toh nahi aati.
Zoya: Kal ghar jaate waqt humne ek couple ko baarish mai dance karte dekha. Humne shakal toh nahi dekhi but haan larki ki saree dekhi thi. Aur dekhiye my so called high profile case ussi larki ka hai ussi saree mai.
Aditya: Honestly mujhe bhi yeh high profile rehna acha nahi lagta who toh Pooja hai keh-
Zoya: Pooja hai keh?
Aditya: Sorry. Aap ko main disturb kar raha hu na.
Zoya: Aisi baat nahi. Ab apne ek sawal mujhse pucha hai. Kya hum bhi kuch puch sakte hain aapse?
Aditya: Jee
Zoya: Kya hum aapko yaad hain?
Aditya: Kya hum pehle kabhi mile hain?
Zoya: Do din pehle, building ke niche, hum aur hamari behn, Noor mile the aap dono se. Picture lene ki koshish bhi ki thi lekin battery dead hogai thi phone ki.
Aditya: Mujhe ab yaad aaya. So sorry pehle nahi pehchaana. Mujhe toh aapke saath picture leni chahiye. Aap jo kaam karti hai its mindblowing. Main toh nahi kar sakta.
Zoya: Hum toh bas apni duty karte hain. Aap ne humein apni acting se bahut inspire kia hai. Bepannah mera favorite show hai. Iske ilawa humne aur kuch dekha bhi nahi hai.
Aditya: Toh ab bhi aap mere saath picture lena chahti hain? Iss baar mere mobile se.
He took the picture and asked for her number also so he could send it to her.
They both were talking and it seemed perfect for both of them. After sometime a nurse came and started shouting.
Nurse: Zoya! The patient is sinking. Tum yahan kya kar rahi ho, patient ko dekho.
Zoya immediately tried to adjust the IV but her pulse kept on dropping. Sooner she started jerking. A nurse called the on-call doctor. He came and tried to make the condition stable but it was of no help.
Doctor: We lost the patient. What is the time of death?
This shook Zoya and Aditya. Zoya looked at him who was just standing still, not sure what to do next. He was broken from inside. It was so sudden. He lost his wife and unborn child too.
Before Zoya could console Aditya, the nurse took her outside and scolded her for being careless. She couldn't say anything to her. This conversation was overheard by the doctor. He asked Zoya to meet him in the office.
As she went inside, he started scolding her for being careless. The whole time she was silent. She just couldn't digest the fact that Pooja died in front of her. She was thinking about how Aditya would be feeling. She excused the doctor without saying a word to him and ran towards the emergency room where Pooja was admitted.
When she reached the place, neither Pooja nor Aditya was there. She asked the reception of their whereabouts and got to know that the body was immediately taken off in the ambulance to her home so the media do not gather around the hospital.
Zoya ran outside to see the ambulance and meet Aditya at least once. Much to her dismay, the ambulance went away from her.
