Chapter-1
A flame of light
A flame of light which was broad and circular initially,now squeezing...a blurred picture of people huffing,running and shouting was occupying his vision...he tried hard, harder this time and could figure out a blurred image of a girl,he was
confused and tried even harder...now the image becomes a little clear...who is she???Is she Mauli??? a thought struck his
mind "But NO!Mauli has short hair but this girl has long hairs...she was worried...her hands and gestures were showing her
worry...he tried to open his eyes to watch her but he could'nt,another picture flashed quickly...he was drinking and
drinking...so much he had drank last night and shouting,
"Bloody hell!!! I don't know anything...I will not do that show at any cost...!"
His head becomes too heavy and the small flame of light finally engulfed by black and deep darkness...!
After 3 hours doctor came out of operation theature,the girl in her late teenage approached him quickly,
"Doctor!what happened??Is he out of danger...?"she asked
Doctor looked at her,she was looking tired and weak...her eyes were red and teary,lips were dry...
"Yes!Mugdha he is out of danger...you can relax now!"he said and went off.
Mugdha took a breath of relaxation,"Thank God!you saved him..."she ran towards Mrs.Ritu Tokas,mother of Rajat who had just
went for bringing water.
"Aunty!Operation is successful..he is out of danger now!"
Tears of happiness flowed from her eyes,"Really!!! Thank God"she ran towards OT where nurse stopped her.
"Sorry Mam!you can meet him only after doctor's permission!"she said respectfully.
They both went to doctor for permission.
"Mrs.Tokas...he is still uncouncious...as soon as he get councious,I'll do some check-ups and shift him in ward then only
you can meet him...till then please do these formalities..."said the doctor.
"What is this?"asked she.
Doctor became serious,"you know that its a police case...a case of drunk and rash driving...so you have to cooperate with
police!"
Ritu's throat chocked..."Okay!but before that I need to contact my advocate!"said she and left to talk on this matter with
inspector.
As she went outside she found whole hospital became a news room...reporters,interviews,public reviews on topics like 'youth
and drinking problem','today's youth','Stars and their attitude..' such endless topics and talks were taking on.
"They get some crisp for prime time!"said mugdha bitterly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Till evening the whole matter sattled...rajat was shifted into private ward and was given some liquid suppliments.He was
watching TV when mugdha and his mom entered,
"How are you feeling now?"asked Ritu caressing his head.
"Better.."he gasped and shrugged off her hand.
He was indeed shocked to see Mugdha there but dint asked anything.
She sat near her bed and put her hand over his,"Take rest"said she softly.
Rajat nodded positively and touched his head wound,"its itching!"said he
"Ohh..do not rub...it won't coagulate then..!"she hold his hand,"Let me.."said she and bend her head over his,softly started blowing and caressing...after few minutes he stopped her,
"Its fine now.."said he looking at her...that was the first time they looked directly into each others eyes...they were lost for sometime...old days memories were running between them...around 5 years back...
As mugdha was running and rajat was chasing her...
"Ruk...jungli billi!!! give my diary back..."he was screaming
"Nahi dungi monkey...himmat hai to le ke dikha..." she made faces to tease him.
He speeds up and hold her from waist..."dekha pakar liya..la meri diary wapas kar..."he tried to snatch it.
"Nahi dungi...mai bhi to dekhu..aisa kya likhta hai tu diary me..."she tried to open it when suddenly he snatched it from her hand and pushed her back,
"Dekh kuch bhi kar..I won't mind but don't ever try to read it..samjhi...!"he said pointing his finger towards her.
She felt hurt and a tear formed in her eyes,"Monkey...mujhe giraya..dekh lungi tujhe mai..."said she and moved from there.
"Arey billi..kahan ja rahi hai...okay I am sorry...I am sorry...!"he was shouting behing her,but she dint stop...sun was setting...she was going and finally sun sat and she disappeared...disappeared from there...he tried to stop her,ran before her..shout her name in the sky but she has gone...
A flame of light was engulfed by the darkness.
