Contd from yesterday.
The doctor agrees to see Adi and takes him to his clinic. Adi explains the doctor of Antara not responding like other kids. Adi tells that Antara only communicates with few words like Antara...school, Antara....icecream. She never looks in the eye. All the while Antara is playing by herself on the kids table. Adi tells the doctor that sometime he feels that she doesn't have any feelings, but she has an excellent memory. Adi then show the doctor the fish puzzle made by Antara. The doctor is amazed and says excellent. Adi then tells him about Antara's calculation. Adi asks if Antara is mad?...my daughter can't be mad.
The Dr says that Antara is not mad but our society only recognizes two kinds of people...the normal kind and the abnormal/mad kind. Autism and madness are two different kinds. Your daughter is not mad but yes she might be autistic. Adi asks what is autism. The dr says that autism is where the brain doesn't function properly. They form their own world where no emotion exists. Happy, sad, cry, laugh, eating is not the first priority. Adi says that he understands but the world has already started calling her mad. The dr says that tell people that Antara is autistic and don't care about others. The truth is that this society wants to be like Antara...we are looking for peace, quiet ...worship....but greed, crime doesn't allow us. For Antara...everyone is the same....she is not greedy, she doesn't know the truth nor can she lie...she trusts everyone. If you see from Antara's eyes...you will see a different world. Adi asks if she will be allright but the doctor says that he is expecting a miracle.
Sam comes with the reports and vidya offers him kheer. Sam says brfore even reading the reports you gave me sweet. Vidya removes the report and reads it. The pregnancy report is confirmed positive. Sam asks why is she sad. Vidya says however good news it might be..if it comes a in a wrong time ...its not good anymore. Vidya says she is all confused and hurt...she tells Sam not to tell Adi and Aditi about it and Sam agrees.
The Dr takes Adi outside to show some other kids. They show a mother and son whose son's case is somewhat similar to Antara. The son is good at art. The mother has same concerns like Adi about her son not demanding and not looking at her. The Dr tells that we hae to prepare Antara to be independant after you won't be in her life anymore.
