Have tried to make as smooth alternations as possible...but phir bhi for clarity

15th Shot - The Apology
Beep - beep - beep - beep ...
The sound of the ECG machine reverberated in her ears as the 8 year old clutched her brother's hand tight. It was the 3rd consecutive day he was laying comatose in the hospital ward. It was also the 3rd consecutive she had been crying , checking the ecg machine every now & then hoping for it to show equal sized mountain peaks.
"Naatak toh dekho bacchon ka Sahil ! Inke maa-baap mar gaye toh isme hum kya karein ? Hum kyu sambhaal rahe hai inko ? Main abhi bhi bol rahi hu chodd do apni mahanta. Vitthal ke bete ...kya tha uska naam...ha Rohish , usko bachakar tumko kya milega ? Marne do usko , Kalpana ko le jaate hai...ghar ka saara kaam aisahi pada hai ! "
"Shut up Neetu ! Don't be so cold-hearted ...bacche hai woh. Kya karenge akele ? Atleast I owe that much for their parents' loyalty towards me."
"But ..."
Sahil passed Neetu a cold stare hinting her to keep quite. Making one of her bitch faces she stomped out of the hospital room. Sahil sighed as he turned around to look at Kalpana who sat unaffected to any of his wife's harsh words. How would she hear anything else ? All of her attention was on the beeps of the machine.
Beep - Beep - Beep - Beep ...
Beeeppp...
The lights that flashed straight into her eyes blinded her as the unpleasant piercing sound of the horn filled her ears. Somethin humongous- - a truck or a lorry probably was advancing in her direction at great speed.
(Hahahaha ...yes you'll are right ! Aur kya ho sakta hai ?? Kabhi toh hero ko hero banne du , jabse aaya hai tabse villain hi bana baitha hai bechaara...lol 😆😆)
A forceful pull & she was now standing on the sidewalk safe & sound , eyes widening on seeing the rear view of the lorry that might have hit her. But she didn't get even an ounce of second to react on it as the strong grip that clutched her upper arms tightened & rattled her vigorously.
"Have you lost it woman ? Have you totally lost it ? What were you trying to do by running in the centre of the road ..huh ? "
Kalpana looked up , it was --- she didn't even wish to utter his name now. She despised him , despised him more than anything in the world. Fidgeting with her room, her house , her job , why that - even herself was ok. But fidgeting with HER people...Who did he think he was ? And now he was there standing in front of her , in the middle of the night yelling at her ?? What could he be planning now ?
"Can you imagine what would have happened if I hadn't been there ?"
That finally broke the string. What does he mean by that? Wouldn't her life be freaking perfect if he weren't there ?
Knocking his dirty hands off her she glared at him. Then raising her right hand she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Pulling him down towards her with only one of her hands, choking him slightly. She had opened her mouth to say something , but stopped.
Something more important crossed her mind - Rohish. She just had 1 hour.
Pushing Raghav abruptly she detached her hand off his collar & turned around to leave.Never in her life had she felt so helpless , so astray , so weak & shattered after that incident where she had almost lost Rohish ...as it flashed forth her - as if it had just happened yesterday.
"I'm sorry to say Mr Kapoor but I think Rohish won't wake up now ,he's slipped into coma. Our medical team has tried its best ...but alas somethings aren't in our control as well. " the doctor finally said after studying Rohish's reports for quite some time.
Sahil sighed as he turned around to look at Kalpana , but she wasn't there on the chair she'd been sitting for the past 72 hours. His brows crossed , where had she gone ? A surprised yelp from the doctor grabbed his attention as he turned around again. Looking down he found little Kalpana who holding onto the ends of the doc's coat, her eyes were filled with tears but also blazed with somethin very indefinable.
Tugging at the ends of his coat , she muttered - her voice laced with an unfathomed determination" My brother ..nothing is going to happen to him. He will wake up ...he has to wake up for me, I give him no other option ! "
Beeeppp - beep -beep. Her eyes widened as she immediately turned around & rushed to him. She can't mistake that fluctuation in the sound of the ecg. Does that mean ? The doctor noticed that as well as he too ran upto him. Some minutes later he smilingly declared "The patient is out of danger now , by the looks of it he'll soon gain consciousness. "
Relief washed over her, but suddenly she started feeling giddy & in no time had collapsed as well. Afterall she hadn't eaten for quite some time, how much could a little girl take ? She could feel sahil patting her cheeks to wake her up while calling her name
"Kalpana...Kalpana "
"Kalpana ...Kalpana ..." This time it wasn't the voice of Sahil of her memories that was calling but the grahan of her life following her , trying to match her pace.
"Kalpana stop !" he whined , she could tell he was getting nearer as she herself increased her pace heading to the now visible taxi stand. She had to get to the airport asap & drag Rohish back home. The previous morning's chirpy voice of Rohish & the surprise he wished to give her ..it all fell in place now. The kind of demon Raghav Singhaniya is ...
"Kalpana..." was the last exhausted word she heard before she was spun around , his hands again around her upper arms like a vice not allowing her to move.
"What do you want now ?" She said with all the ferociousness a living being could ever possess gazing at his hand that had held her. Almost reflexively Raghav released his hold on her arm ...
"I know ..." He stopped speaking on seeing Kalpana raise her hand gesturing him to do so.
"I don't have time to waste Mr Singhaniya...not behind explanations given by a person like you who would go to any extent to make up for baseless revenges , to feed your pride. I know you've been doing all of this just to hear that apology from me ...right ? Then here you go ..I am SORRY ! I am SORRY ! " Getting her hands clasped together she got them to her forehead, bowing her head slightly, a crack noted in her voice. "I AM FREAKING SORRY...OK !"
And Raghav Singhaniya was rendered speechless all over again. The woman in front never failed to surprise him. He had expected every reaction out of her, but this !
A buzz in his pocket interrupted the one-sided conversation as he quickly reached into his pocket to get his cellphone. It was the agent's message "Mr Jadhav's ticket has been cancelled Sir ! He isn't going to Kashmir now." He huffed with relief as he literally dropped down to the road sitting cross legged.
Kalpana had already left , he could see her walk farther from him...getting smaller by every single moment that passed by. He had finally gotten that so-called apology / lesson he'd wished to teach her & here he was sitting confused & lonely & guilty in the middle of nowhere ...
Staring at the last speck of her, before she completely diminished in the darkness of the night he whispered to himself "It is now time to make your life perfect again Kalpana" he vowed.
"Good people sometimes make bad decisions. They mess up & let others down. But that doesn't make them bad people.We all make mistakes , but how we correct them ... That defines us."
