PART 2
jai looks at the doctor with a horrified expression on being introduced as the girls
husband.
jai is about to say something but thinks against it.
girl: "mera pati?"
doc: "ha ur husband. jaiwalia"
the girl shakes her head in negative and says she dint remember anything
she asks the doc "why dint i remember anything not even my name?
what is happening to me doc why cant i remember anything?
how come i dint remember how can i just forget everything?"
fear gripped her heart as she cant even remember anything and she stated crying and
shouting hysterically why cant she remember anything.
due to the stress the pain in her head increases and she holds her head with her hands
the doctor asks her to relax everything will be alright. and gives her an injection.
eventually she calmdown and fell asleep murmuring she cant rememebr anything
jai asks the doc
"doc whats happening?why can't she remember anything?
the doctor turns to face jai and says
"mr.walia will u come with me to my cabin i will explain u everything clearly"
saying so the doc turns and leaves to his cabin
jai and the other doctor karan who is jai's bestfriend and is the main doc's
assisstant also follows the doctor to his cabin.
after being seated there was a silent atmosphere for sometime as the doctor
examine the x-rays and other test reports. jai gets more and more impatient as the
doctors sits there without saying anything. after waiting for some more time jai gets
irritated and repeats the same question why she didn't and can't remember anything
the doctor says
"Mr.Walia i think she is suffering from amnesia."
jai is shocked to hear that and shouts "WHAT?"
the doc continues " i expected something like this will happen as she had an hit her
head to the iron pole very hardly. even though the injury is not external it had its
effect on her brain"
jai : doc when she will regain her memory
doc: we cant say Mr.Walia as it is she can regain her memory in next few hours
or after some weeks or months or years maybe never depending on the
circumstances and sorroundings
jai : doc r you trying to say that we cant do anythign in this matter? isnt there no way
she can regain her memory?
doc: mr.walia as i said it depends on circumstances and surroundings
jai : i didnt understand doc
doc: she may regain her memory if she sees her own place, people, surroundings
where she is living. it may be a possibility because some dear things can be
reside in our subconcious mind but we can't gaurentee because u see she failed
to recognise u
jai : how is that a reason. i mean her not remembering me?
doc: mr.walia u r not understanding. as u r her husband there is a possibility that
or will be very close to her heart. when someone is so dear we can remember
them through our subconcious mind also as we do think of them always. but as
she fails to recognise u i think it will take much time for her complete recovery.
i mean to regain her memory.one more thing she should not be under any kind of
pressure. it will only jeopardise her health. because the condition in which she is
there is very dilicate. and any pressure at this time will make her loose mental
balance. as it is now she should have to pass through a hard phase in her life.
because forgetting our own identity wont make things easier and it will be very
difficult. u should take care that she stays happy under any circumstances and
she should not stress herself.
i suggest u to take her to the places where u two spent time together. it may
be helpfull for her to remember anything. but remember u shouldnot force her to
remember anything. because by force no memories can be brought back.
just then a nurse comes and tell the doc that there is an emergency and it needs
his presence.
the doctor saying he will meet jai tomorrow excuses and moves outside
leaving bewildered jai who is looking at karan with an what to do now look.
karan feels sorry for the state in which his friend is there.he pats jai's back and says
karan: jai u just go and sit in my room. i will be there in 15min. i have to go for rounds
dont worry everything will be alright.
saying so karan leaves the room.jai sits there for quite sometime not knowing
what to do after sometime he heads towards karans room .
on the way to karan's room jai passes through that girls room. and he stops
infront of the door and hesitates whether to enter the room or not. after the intial
hesitation he enters the room and sees the girl sleeping on the bed peacefully but
she had taken away his own peacefullness
jai looks at the girls tearstained face and felt sorry for her. if it is not for him
she wouldnot be in this situation.if only he had controlled his anger the girl will be
happy with her family. but now because of him she in a situation where she cant
even rememeber who she is and what is her name. he just stares at the girl for
sometime and moves out of the room as the feeling of guilty is overtaking him
he enters karans room and stands near the window staring at the sky. he doesn't know
what to do and how to out from this situation. what he was going to do now? what about
the girl? when she will regain her memory? where is her family? how is he going to
contact them? he doesnt know much about her.thinking all these things he gets frustated
as he doesnt have answers for any of these questions and doesnt know how to come out
of this situationreleasing a frustated sigh he sits on the couch near the window and
closes his eyes.
after sometime dr.karan enters the room and looks at jai and feel sorry and pity for him.
he dint know how his friend is going to cope all this. and above all there is a new problem now.
he makes a call to the reception and informs the receptionist not to disturb him for around
hour. and shift his appointments to later in the evening. saying so he switchoff his mobile
and sits beside jai on the couch. he places his hand on jais shoulder as if comforting him.
jai looks at him blankly.he has many questions in his mind but he is not in a situation to
talk now he gets up and stands near the window staring at nothing
karan understands jai's dilema. he knows what is going through jai's head. but he too cannot help him in this situation
after sometime karan asks him
karan: "jai what r u going to do know?"
jai : "i don't know karan what i am going to do or what should i do.i am soo confused.
do i have less problems in my life now again a new problem arosed?"
karan: what r u going to do with the girl?
jai : who? oh bani! what do u think i should do with her?
karan: i am asking you jai
jai remains silent for sometime and then says
jai : i am thinking that i should tell her the truth that she is not my wife and how we
met two weeks ago. and also that only because of him that the accident took
place and he is the reason for the situation she is in
karan frowns on hearing this and says
karan: jai r u out of your mind. what if she files a case against you? it will become a
media issue and u know how the media is. they will create a big scene out of
this and ur reputation will be damaged
jai : i don't care karan.i can't let her think i am her husband. now can i?
karan: jai u r not understanding the situation. it is not only about u i am talking but
also the girl bani.
jai : i din't get u karan
karan: jai she is in a condition where she doesn't even know her name. she doesn't
know anybody and u also don't know where she belongs to. i mean about her
family. we don't know where her family is. as i can see there is no chance we r
able to trace them. and in this situation if u tell her the truth she may not able to
survive
jai : what u mean to say karan?
karan: its just simple jai if u tell her the truth that u r not her husband she will loose the
only hope she has to live. think what will happen to her jai when she knows that
u r not her husband and she doesn't have anybody to look upon or to depend on.
what is the use of living a life which seems so vacant having no one who she can
call her own or any reason to live or anything to do. it would be better for her to
die than to live such a life which is useless according to her.
jai : karan dont say like that. she has every right to live and to be happy. she just
couldnot die because of my mistakes. its not her fault. she is in this situation
because of me
karan: i am also saying the same thing jai its not her fault. nor it is yours. it is destined
to happen like this. nothing is in our hands. dont blame yourself for the condition
of her. i just telling you the problems and difficulties she should have to face if u
tell her the truth
just then jai's cell rings.after seeing who the caller is he cuts the call. but then again his
cell starts to ring and he cuts the call again. but when it rings third time he switches off
the mobile getting irritated by the caller.
seeing jai getting tensed karan aks who the caller is.
jai : ma
karan: why r u avoiding her? why dont u talk to her?
jai : u and i also know why she is calling. then what is the use of receiving the call as
i have no answer to tell her
karan: kabtak tum unko avoid koroge jai. kabhi na kabhi tho unse bathe karnahi padega
aunty is not going to leave u until she gets what she wanted
jai : i know yaar. but she wants me to come back to the house and that too with her
bahu. now from where can i get a wife who will be the bahu of that house when
there is no one to be started.
and moreover i cannot tell them the truth. it will only shatter them and
leave them with broken hearts. and considering papa's health there is no
question of telling the truth as of now he feels that he did injustice to me and my
wife by not allowing us into the house and keeping us away from the family for
around 2years and now wants to correct his mistakes. he along with ma and
entire family is wating for the bahu of there house. they think that i am happy
with my wife whom i choose to marry against there wishes. now if i tell them that
there is no bahu then they will be shattered.
i dont know karan what to do.the doctor is telling that dad is worrying too
much and he should not be under stress as it will cause him another heart stroke
which will not be good.papa thinks that i am still angry with him thats why i am
not allowing his bahu to come to his home.
as all this isn't enough for me now there arises a new problem with this
girl. ok now leave all the other things just tell me karan what do u think i should
do with this girl.
karan: jai u tell me whats in ur mind them
jai : the same thing karan as i said before. i know it is not good for her.but hiding the
truth is also not good for her. what she will think when she regain her memory?
karan: jai not again. i am saying she cannot tolerate the truth. it will also effect her health
why cant u understand jai? u be in her situation and think how it will be to live
such a life. u can't even imagine
jai : but karan
karan: dont behave like a stupid.and dont be selfish jai. i know you are thinking of
come out of this situation in anyway. but i am telling u this is not the correct way
jai is about to say something but karan cuts him saying sternly
karan: no jai u r not going to say the truth to the girl. it will only jeoparadise her health
and as a doctor i will not allow it.
seeing jai destressed karan feels sorry for him and says
karan: ok jai think if u tell her the truth and she tolerates and console herself then what
will she do. she has no one to look back in this situation. where will she go what
she will do?
jai thinks for sometime and tells
jai : i will take her to my house and she will be with me untill she regains her memory
karan: with what right she will stay in your house?
jai : what kind of question is that karan?
karan: i am asking the correct question jai. with what relation she will be staying with u
jai gets irritated with karan's questioning and answers angrily
jai : she doesn't need any relation to stay with me.
karan: jai u r not getting my point. what will u say to all the people who will question u
about her identity. u dont know and she herself didnt know who she is. u will not
be able to answer the questions. and moreover a man and woman should not share
a same roof when there is no relationship between them. this will raise many
questions. which could effect the girl immensly
jai gets frustated and shouts
" then u tell me what to do karan instead of giving me lectures and reasons"
karan remains silent for sometime and then says
karan: let the girl think u r her husband and u too act like one
jai is shocked to hear that and shouts "WHAT?"
