Chapter 2 I sip the strawberry juice given to me and flip through the pages of an old copy of Filmfare. There is a Shahid Kapoor photoshoot. OMG how hot can this guy get man? OMG his bisceps...those 8 packs! Wow! I wish I could get a boyfriend like that! And Priyanka Chopra! How gorgeous can she get? I so wish she and Shahid would get together like real soon!
My dreams of Shahid and Priyanka were interuppted when the doctor and his team of nurses-in-white entered the room. I smiled faintly at them.
"Hello Ms. Bhushan I'm Dr. Kiran and these are your nurses Cindy, Shruthi and Nida," he said. "I'm a resident neurologist here. Tell me, how are you feeling?"
"Perfect except for my right hand which feels a tad bit numb," I said, lifting my hands up in the air. I couldn't help but blush at the sight at my beautiful nails.
"We'll look into that," Dr. Kiran said. "Now I want you to answer some basic questions. For starters what is your name?"
"Nupur Bhushan," I said. "That's easy."
"Year of birth?" Dr. Kiran asked.
"1982," I said.
"Now Nupur," Dr. Kiran said. "When you crashed your car, your head bumped against the windscreen. Your brain swelled up a little, but it seems like you are fine."
Car crash? What is he talking about?
"Hey hey hey!" I exclaimed. "You are confused. I didn't have a car crash. Heck! I don't even own a car!"
"But it's given the in the information sheet that the patient met with a car accident," Dr. Kiran said with a bewildered expression on his face."
"That's all wrong," I said. "I was out at The Grungies with my friends and while waiting for this jerk of my boyfriend, I slipped and fell. That's what happened."
"It's a car accident for sure," Cindy said. "The driver in the other car has dislocated a joint."
"Listen," I tried again. "It was NOT a car crash. I don't have a car...I don't even know HOW to drive!"
"Don't you own a BMW?" Dr. Kiran said.
"A BMW?" I said, spitting out my juice. "Are you FREAKING serious? I can't even afford it's TYRE!"
"Nupur but," Dr. Kiran said.
"Listen Dr. Kiran I KNOW what went wrong," I said. "I slipped and fell. As easy as that."
I paused to receive a response on how right I was. I glared at Cindy, Shruthi and Nida out of anger. What the nerve?! To make up such stories.
Then I looked at everyone around me. They all seemed to look at me with a puzzled expression...not puzzled, CONCERNED.
"Wait doc," I said. "Is something wrong with ME? Please do tell me. Stop keeping me in the dark."
"I want to ask you one more question Nupur," Dr. Kiran said. "Which year is it?"
"L O L," I said. "Easy as it can get. 2007."
Everyone looks at me confused and shocked. Cindy looked like she has seen a ghost. Shruthi brings her hand to her mouth. Nida's eyes opened wide in shock. Only Dr. Kiran looked at her normally and took a seat opposite my bed.
"Nupur Bhushan," she said softly. "Today is 29th March 2010."
The juice glass in my hand fell down. The magazine also followed suit. I looked at Dr. Kiran and the nurses in white as if they had just admitted to a murder attempt. My murder attempt.
"Okay PLEASE stop fooling around," I said, mustering courage. "It is absolutely NOT funny."
"No one is kidding Nupur," Nida said. "It is March 2010."
"Okay you guys have officially lost it," I said, laughing.
How can it be 2010? Just yesterday I was enjoying with Dia, Suhaani and CJ in 2007 and today I'm lying in hospital in 2010? How can it be possible? It's the MOST absurd thing I've ever heard. Argh. I'm going mad.
"Nupur tell us your last memory?" Dr. Kiran asked.
"My last memory?" I asked. "Easy. With Suhaani, Dia and CJ in Grungies. I was wating for my loser boyfriend Chacko when I ran to catch a cab and slipped and fall. Thus I'm here."
"Good gracious me," Shruthi said. "You have gotten post-traumatic stress amnesia."
"Amnesia?" I asked. "Why in the world are you trying to feed me that crap? This is not an Ekta Kapoor drama."
"Okay Nupur what you need right now is some rest," Dr. Kiran said, looking kindly at me. "We will talk to you later."
"Hey don't go," I said. "Expose your lie before you go."
"Cindy, Shruthi, show her the newspaper," Dr. Kiran said. "Nida you come with me."
Nida and Dr. Kiran left. Cindy took out the newspaper and handed it to me. I looked at the date on top. OMFG! I thought! They were right. Today's date...is...was...is...29th March 2010. But HOW in this world can that be?
"Cindy, Shruthi," I said.
"Yes," both of them said in unison.
"I guess I need to be left alone like Dr. Kiran said," I said. "Thanks for the paper."
"Okay," Cindy said. "Goodbye Ms. Bhushan."
Both of them went outside whispering to each other.
OH MY GOD!! Was it actually possible? Could I be this OLDER?? OMFG OMFG OMFG!! (F stands for freaking)!! OMFG!!
It's freaking 2010!
I'm freaking 28 years old.
I'm old.
