Hi friends I had this concept in my mind from a long time .. so I wrote a shortstory on it'
It'll just have three parts '.
Pls pls do read it n reply ' even if u don't like it'..
Its basically a sajjan ss'
THE STRANGER
It felt strange being here'. Beside this stranger '.
It felt cold too ,
maybe I had not brought enough clothes with me to this place,,
to this hospital room ' but still it was so much more colder here , much colder then what was explainable ,,,,
A gust of wind pushed my hair backward' i inclined my head in the direction of the wind'.
I looked at the open window ,, I got up instantly to bolt it up,,,
I could endure the cold all right , but this stranger right here with me didn't need anymore pain then he was already in''.
Saying so I looked at his calm an serene face.. he was sleeping or so the doctors were saying 4 the past 5 days ,,,,
He wasn't handsome' no handsome wasn't a word enough to describe his beauty '.
Even in his present condition,, with a bandage on his head ,, a plaster across his right hand n bruises everywhere , he looked angelic '.
I moved n sat beside him again ' I looked at the stranger's face again'
STRANGER yes that had been what he was to me ,,, I had never seen him before'
I would have remembered if I had ,,, as a matter of fact he was to devine to ever 4get '..
I sighed ..
I was puzzled .. I had no idea why I was still here .. what made me stop here????
Was it the pity I felt 4 this boy who seemed to be in so much pain??
Was it gratitude that I felt 4 him because he came in front of that goddammed truck just to save me????
I shuddered , the memory of that accident 5 days ago was still a pain,,, It was horror 'had it not been 4 this boy '
It would have been me who would have been lying on this very bed, covered in tubes n needles n bandages from head to toe''.
May be it was this gratitude that made me stay in this hospital''
The boy winced ,, abruptly ending my monologue'.
I placed my palm just above his hand n patted it lightly to sooth him,,,
Though still unconscious the needles tend to make him uncomfortable some how'..
The doctor has told me this a day b4 yesterday ,,,,
He winced again n this time I felt a movement beneth his sheets ' he was moving his legs '.
I panicked , he was not required to move much ,,, that would make the saline needles come off ' and that can't be good '..
He jerked his hand again ,, it looked as if he wanted to free his hands from the needles'
I held his arm more tightly '
"pls don't don't move ' it'll just cause u more pain.. pls"
He had started to shiver n I had started to sob almost in the same instant'
I held on both his wrists ,, his eyes eyes were still closed but the shivering bit had gone out of control '
"DOCTOR, NURSE PLS COME "
I couldn't leave this boy to go out n call the doctor,,,,
He was trashing madly n I was horrified at what would happen if I left his wrists..
"don't don't pls ' samrat don't"
Samrat????
That shocked me ' I hadn't known this boy's name 'but somehow I was so sure he was called samrat only'.
Bloody hell ,no one here knew his name .. what was I '..!!
He winced again n this time may be grunted to'..
"what happened gunjan' oh good lord "
The doctor camein followed by that skinny nurse behind ,,,,, he immediately broke a vial of some liquid n filled the injection quickly with it'
In the mean time the nurse had finished applying spirit with a dapped cotton on samrat's exposed arm'
Samrat.. how was I so sure of his name?????
"don't leave him"
Saying so the doctor inserted the needle in his arm ,,, samrat '. No the boy winced again'.
Within a few minutes his shivering stopped n he became absolutely still under my arms' '.
I didn't lift my arms back though '..
I was afraid that absence of my hold would some how make him thrash in pain again'
"leave him now .. he is ok gunjan"
As if I had been electrocuted ,my arms dropped to my sides"
I looked at the doctor now..just a day b4 he has promised that samrat'this boy was fine ,, that he would recover but now this!!!!!!!
"u said he was going to be fine!!!why the hell did u lie???"
My voice may be .. was more harsh then I had intended it to be ..
Atleast the shocked expression on the doctor's face said this '.
"I I yes I said that n gunjan he is going to be fine"
"what was this then ???? was thrashing in pain a symptom of recovery???"
I couldn't control the stream of tears that flowed down my cheeks now"
The doctor smiled..
"calm down gunjan ,,, this was a good news ,,, he is coming around ..
I expect he'll be fully conscious by the morning"
I slumped on my chair beside samrat's bed .. I felt relieve washing through me.. my head felt light weighted '.
"gunjan,, I think u should go hom now n sleep ..take some rest at least,,, its been 5 days n u have left his side only when u had to go n get ur clothes.. he'll be fine go n rest"
I shook my head .. just bring me some coffee mayank, that'll make me fine'
The doctor, my old school friend sighed..
"gunjan he is going to be fine I promise u"
"I know he will be fine' thanks mayank ,,, do me a favour more .pls"
"what"
"cal di n tell her that I have a clue to this boy's identity.."
"huh??? U know who he is????"
"he is called samrat'"
