Part III
They reach the hospital, the injured man is been treated and is out of danger, by looking at his driving license they come to know his name is Ashotosh Sinha, while the women is operated as she has serious head injuries &wasn't protected by a helmet.
Ashutosh: (to Mahir): Bhai…jara mere bacho ko leke ajao…(he still is not able to speak properly) woh address mere wallet mey hai…us jagh bus ayegi,….. picnic pe …gaye…(saying each word after much pause..)
Mahir understands that his children need to be brought from the said address, they must have returned from the picnic.
Mahir: Apu apki ki patni ka naam hai?
Ashutosh: Haan, Uska naam Apeksha…hai…. Apu bulata hoon,…. jhagda kar liya….theek se Bike chala nahi paya..woh bhi mujhse naraz thi….mujhe pakad kar nahi bethi…Apu…Apu…theek to hai na? woh….(he cries, the nurse comes & give him injections, he goes into sleep)
Mahir looks for the address from the wallet. He looks at Chehal …
Mahir: I think I will get late, should I drop u home. ( with a very concerned look)
Chehal: Don't worry I will not cry again, I will accompany u. I hope u don't mind.(smiling)
Mahir: I know U r a brave girl. Sure, lets go. (with a broad smile, every time she smiled, Mahir's heart melted)
They both drive to pick up the children. Both converse about the accident
Mahir: I am sorry, I just was trying to make Ashutoshji feel safe & better. Neither police nor the ambulance had reached, me was a bit tensed. I m really sorry, I know it was my mistake, I should have cared about ur sentiments…I m Sorry!
Chehal: I can understand. No need to say sorry, actually my reaction at that point of time, the situation was really sensitive, I know I should have been sensible to understand that. Actually u know we call my elder sister who's married & stays in Dubai, her pet name is Apu…her name is Aparna…When Ashutoshji called, I suddenly got emotional, it was just as I imagined my sister in such condition, what would I do…?
Mahir: U r very matured. I know my reactions were not sensible as well. U know Aparna di did call me & spoke to me.
Chehal: What? Di called u ?
Mahir: Yes, She inquired, about my likes-dislikes, I think it was phone interview (laughs). She was very sweet and it was a pleasure to talk.
Chehal: I know how she is, She must have asked about 25 Q's in 5 minutes. (laughs)
Both r smiling, soon they reach the said place. They see no parents or Bus. They ask the watch man, he tells them the bus left, two children r inside waiting. They go inside with Ashutosh's driving license. Informs them about the accident. The children r playing near by, both look so cute. Both r boys, looking quite similar. The teacher informs, they r twins, their name's r Umang & Tarang!
Chehal: Hi, Umang & Tarang.(smiling)
Umang & Tarang: Hi Aunty…
Mahir: Hi children, chalo ghar chale…hum tumhe lene aye hain.
Umang: Hum chirf mamma ke shath jayenge..
(They look out for their parents. Both children start feeling alone & scared without their parents.)
Chehal: Mamma Papa ne hi hume bheja, actually woh arahe the aur unki Bike kharab hogaye, to Papa ke dost hain Yeh (pointing towards Mahir)Papa ne kaha unhe Aapko ghar le aye..J …(talking softly with much love & care)
Tarang: Bike khalaab ho gayi…? mujhe nahi achi lagti Bike!. ..
Chehal: Haan, Aap chalo hum to gadi leke aye hain…(talking excitedly, smiling & takes them close)
Umang: Gaadi, Car! Chalo. (They run towards the car)
Mahir is so glad how Chehal made them comfortable. Mahir drives the car, children r sitting on the back seat, happily looking outside & r having a great time…unaware of anything, except their enjoyment of sitting in a car.
Mahir: r u fond of children.? (looking at the children from the rare view mirror, smiling)
Chehal: Yes..(says very excitedly) & U?
Mahir: Me as well.
They look towards each other, realizing what they r talking about. They feel a bit awkward. With a smile they start looking at the opposite sides to hide their faces, as both r blushing…
The Hospital is 5 mintues away, Mahir realises how they will explain the children. He asks Chehal, she feels 1st they need to contact & inquire Ashutosh & Apeksha's condition. Doctors at the hospital inform them that they r both unconscious. Ashutosh is under medication & Apeksha is still under observation. The Children do inform they have their Nana & Naani here while Dadi stays in villlage.
Suddenly Mahir realises the Wallet with him, his company address is there, he calls. He gets to know the number of Ashutosh's in-laws. They decide to hand over the children to them. They inform them on phone, Father in-law goes to the hospital. Mahir & Chehal drive away to Ashutosh in-laws house. They reach & the children r happy to meet their Naani, they Thank Mahir & Chehal for the drive….they r much happy after a great picnic & long drive in the car. Mahir & Chehal r relived as children r in safe hands.
