Part 8

Kanya didn't know how much time had passed since she had been sitting outside just staring off into space. Countless numbers of people, nurses, doctors and cars had passed in front of her. She was sure that even a few people had come and tried to talk to her seeing her dazed, but she had barely responded to them, if she even responded at all. It wasn't until someone came and tapped her on the shoulder and called out her name that she gave a response. She turned around to see that her Mother-in-law had a hand on her shoulder. Before she could do or say anything she saw the entire family come out one by one from the hospital.

M- Kanya hum saab ghaar jaa rahe hai. (Kanya we are all going home.)

K- K…kya matlab? Woh…saab kuch tik hogaya hai? (W...What do you mean? Is everything okay now?)

M- Nahin, Ranbir abhi tak nahin jage. Hum saab rukna toh chate hai lekin nahin ruk sakte. (No, Ranbir still isn't awake. All of us wanted to wait but we can't.)

K- Kyun? (Why?)

Aditya- Cachi chate hai ke hum saab ghaar jaye…kyun kea agar hum Ranbir ke paas rahe toh phir tum khabi andar nahin jaaogi. (Cachi wants us to go home...because if we stay here you probably won't go inside to see him.)

M- Main janti hoon ke jaab tak hum saab yahaan hai, tu andar nahin jaayegi. Issi liyeh…issi liyeh hum saab ghaar jaa rahe hai. (I know that while we are all here you won't go inside. That's why...that's why we are going home.)

K- Mummy ji...

M- Dekh, mujhe kuch nahin sunna. Ranbir ko tumhari zarurat hai,a ur tu hai ke…(she was getting angry) Kher, hum jaa rahe hai…aage teri marzi. (Look, I don't want to hear anything. Ranbir needs you and you are...anyway, we are leaving, the rest is up to you.)

The Nanda family had begun walking away, when Malika stopped and turned around to Kanya. She walked back and spoke to Kanya again.

M- Aagar humare gher maujudgi mein mere bete ko kuch bhi hua, toh main tumhe zimedar theraungi. Ranbir mera ek lauta beta hai, usse khuc nahin hona chahiyeh. (If anything happens to my son in our absence, then I will hold you responsible. Ranbir is my one and only son, nothing should happen to him.)

Saying that she walked back and the Nanda's began getting in the car. The Godbole's followed but they all gave some sort of encouragement to Kanya.

P- Kanya, apna khayal rakhna…zarurat pade toh hume phone kar lena. (Take care of yourself Kanya...if you need anything give us a call.)

K- Mamma aap… (Mom...you...)

P- Dekh, Malika ji ne joh kaha hai sahi kahaa hai. Iss waqt Ranbir ko saabse zyada tumhari zarurat hai. (Look Kanya, what Malika-ji said was right. Ranbir needs you the most right now.)

K- Mamma, main…main uske paas nahin jaa sakti…main… (Mom I...I cant go to him...I...)

A- Dekh Kanya (he couldn't hold back any longer) hum nahin jaante ke tum dono ke beech mein kya hua hai, aur hum jaanna bhi nahin chate. Joh bhi ho, tumhe uska saath dena hoga. Usne humare liyeh kya kuch nahin kiya hai. Aab usse humare zarurat hai, hum aaise muh nahin mor sakte. (Kanya, we don't know what happened between you two, and we dont want to know. Whatever it is, you have to be there for him. What hasnt he done for us. Now he needs us and we cannot turn away from him.)

K- Papa main kaise… (Dad how can I..)

A- Main kuch nahin sunna chata…chalo Pammi. (I don't want to hear anything...let's go Pammi.)

Her parents and Harpal walked past her and got into one of the cars. Pooja and Shanta Tai also walked past her, each giving her a knowing pat on the shoulder. They were both stumped with what to do. They knew that Kanya and Ranbir didn't share a typical husband-wife relationship, but they had also seen the changed. Both Shanta Tai and Pooja hated to admit it but they had noticed that things were changing between them, and they were changing for the good. The small things they tended to ignore and just not pay attention, but the bin things they couldn't ignore. The night when Pammi had fainted when no one was home, Ranbir had managed everything. He got the doctor there in top speed and he had the entire situation taken care of, and Pammi taken care of, all before the family even had a chance to worry or panic. Then when he had compared himself to being Anand's son and given him a hug, they couldn't forget that. That night, Pooja and Shanta Tai had a long conversation about how Ranbir Nanda had changed to just being Ranbir, the Godbole son-in-law. They didn't know how Ranbir and Kanya felt towards each other, but they knew that both Kanya and Ranbir had begun to have soft corners in their hearts for the other.

The last one to leave was Chunnu. He stopped for a moment when he came up to Kanya.

C- Hey Chutki! Tu itni udas kyun hai, tension maat le…woh tera saand tik hai, usse kuch nahin hua hai. Tu baas, zyada tension maat le. (Hey Chutki! Don't look so upset, don't worry...nothing happened to that saand of yours, he is fine. You just don't take too much tension.)

He gave her a quick hug and then he too had left. Kanya didn't know what to do, she was at the hospital all by herself, and she didn't know if she could go into Ranbir's room. She sat back down trying to get her head to stop spinning. So much had happened and so much was said that she was still trying to fully understand what they had said. A few minutes after Kanya sat down she was startled by the loud, blaring sounds of a siren. Looking up she saw a white ambulance pull up to the front of the hospital. Quickly two orderlies got out and pulled out a stretched on which a man lay bleeding. They were rushing inside with him when Kanya saw a lady get out of the ambulance as well.

The lady was crying her heart out and yelling behind the stretcher; the man lying on the stretcher was her husband. Kanya could hear the woman pleading with the doctors and with God to save her husband. She kept asking them to make sure her husband was alright because he was all she had, he was her life and with out him she would die too. Kanya looked at the woman and then thought about herself. That woman had tears of pain and anguish running down her face, and here she was, her husband also in the hospital in serious condition and she hadn't even shed a single tear, forget tears, she hadn't even gone in to see Ranbir.

Kanya didn't know if she could go into his room just yet, but she had to at least find out how he was doing. There was no one else there to keep and eye on Ranbir, and if anything happened to him, she would never be able to forgive herself. Kanya got up and walked back into the hospital, the first time in hours. When she stepped in she looked and saw that it was already past 8 am; she had been sitting outside for hours. Kanya took the elevator up to the 3^rd floor where Ranbir was in a private room.

Kanya walked slowly towards room 309, taking deep breaths with each step. When she reached the door, she once again couldn't go inside. She saw Ranbir still laying on the bed, motionless, the machines beeping, the room dark with only an over head light providing illumination. Kanya's heart told her to just go inside and do whatever it took to make him better, but her mind told her that she was most likely responsible for the condition that he was in right now; she just couldn't do it…she just couldn't. Kanya did the next best thing, she went to the nurses station to get an update.

K- Sister, woh 309 mein joh patient hai, woh…woh kaise hai? (Sister, the patient in 309...how...how is he?)

Nurse- 309….(she was looking for the chart) Haan, aap patient ke kaun lagte hai? (309...yes, who are you to the patient?)

K- Ji? (Excuse me?)

Nurse- Aapka patient ke saath kya samband hai, hum yeh information sirf family ko dete hai. (What relation do you have with the patient? We only release information to family.)

K- Main…main uski paatni hoon. (I...I'm his wife.)

Nurse- Oh, Mrs. Nanda. App ek minute wait kijiyeh, main abhi doctor ko page karti hoon, just one minute. (Oh, Mrs. Nanda. Wait here for one minute, I will page the doctor right now, just one minute.)

K- Ji. (Ok)

The nurse paged the doctor right away. Kanya waited outside Ranbir's door just looking off into space. Kanya was brought back to earth when the doctor came and tapped her on her shoulder.

Dr- Mrs. Nanda?

K- Ji, please call me Kanya.

Dr- Well Kanya, kyun naa hum andar chalein, mujhe Ranbir ka check up karna hai. (Well Kanya, why don't we go inside, i have to do Ranbir's check up.)

K- A…aap jaiyeh…main yahin rukti hoon. (Y...you go ahead...I'll wait here.)

Dr- (looked at her with a raised eyebrow) Are you sure?

K- Ji…aap jaiyeh. (Yes, you go ahead.)

Dr- Tik hai. (Fine.)

The doctor went in and began checking on Ranbir's condition. Kanya watched him take Ranbir's pulse, blood pressure, do some other tests, and note things into the chart. It took the doctor about five minutes or so to do a simple check up of Ranbir. He soon came out and rejoined Kanya.

K- Woh, woh kaise hai? (How , how is he ?)

Dr- Lagta hai ke stable hai, lekin abhi tak nahin jaage. (the doctor had a frown on his face) (Seems like he is satable, but he still hasn't woken up.)

K- Kya baath hai doctor, woh jaag kyun nahin rahe? (What's the matter doctor, why won't he wake up?)

Dr- Dekhiyeh, main kuch ghante aur intezar kaarna chata hoon, aagar woh nahin jage phir hum dobara tests karenge. I will keep you informed. (I want to wait for a few more hours, if he still doesn't wake up we will run a second round of tests. I will keep you informed.)

K- Woh…woh tik toh ho jayenge naa? (He...He will be ok right?)

Dr- Umid toh yehi hai, lekin jaab tak Mr. Nanda jaag nahin jate, hum definitely kuch nahin keh sakte. Main baad mein aapse milta hoon. (We hope so, but until Mr. Nanda wakes up, we can't say anything definitely. I will meet with you later.)

The doctor left Kanya along in the hallway. Thoughts were racing through her head at light speed; it was making her head spin. There was a row of chairs near Ranbir's room, and soon Kanya found herself sitting in one. Her thoughts went from worrying about Ranbir to remembering Ranbir.

She went back and thought of who he was when they had first met and gotten married, and who he was now; they were two different men. The Ranbir Nanda that she had first met was an arrogant, money minded, spoiled-rotten tycoon. But the Ranbir Nanda that she had gotten to know, the Ranbir that he was now, couldn't be more different. This new Ranbir Nanda was considerate, compassionate, loving and thoughtful. The two Ranbir Nanda's were complete opposites. She remembered how he had helped when her mother had fainted, how he had shown concern for Adita when she and Suhaas were going to the mandir on his bike, she remembered how he had gotten both Harpal and Pooja jobs. She thought about the time they had danced to Hum-Tum at the party, she thought about how he put up with Shanta Tai's and Pooja's constant taunting, she thought about the time she was hurt and he took care of her.

Kanya was startled when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see Chunnu there.

K- Chunnu, tum yahaan? (Chunnu, you here?)

C- Haan, woh…Aunty ne tumhare liyeh lunch bheja hai. (Yup...Aunty has sent lunch for you.)

K- Lunch…lunch ka waqt hogaya hai? (Lunch...is it lunch time?)

(she looked at the clock on the wall which read 11am)

C- Almost.

K- Chunnu mujhe bhook nahin hai, tum isse vapas lejao. (Chunnu I'm not hungry, you can take this all back.)

C- Come on Chutki, kuch toh kha lo. Kaal raath se kuch nahin khaya hai tumne. (Come on Chutki, eat something. You haven't eaten anything since last night.)

K- Maan nahin hai Chunnu. (I don't feel like it Chunnu.)

Kanya had been sitting for so long that she finally got up and stretched her legs. She slowly began pacing the hallway of the hospital. Her hair was pulled behind her ears, her arms folded across her chest, and her eyebrows in a frown as if she were in deep thought.

C- Come on Kanya yaar, cill! Tum itna tension kyun le rahi ho? (Chill Kanya! Why are you so worried?)

K- (stopped walking) Kya matlab? (What do you mean?)

C- Matlab ke Pooja aur Shanta Tai ne mujhe saab kuch bata diya. (I mean that Pooja and Shanta Tai told me everything?)

K- Kya bata diya? (Told you what exactly?)

C- Yeh hi, ke tumhari aur Ranbir ki shaadi ek samjota hai, it's a contract marriage. Yeh bhi bataya ke woh tumhe kitna tang karte the, he was a real ass! (Just that your marriage to Ranbir is an understanding, it's a contract marriage. They told me how much he bothers you, he was a real ass!)

K- Chunnu!

C- Come on, hum ghaar chalte hai…nahin ghaar nahin…chalo kahin ghumne chalte hai. (Come on, let's go home...no not home...let's go out somewhere.)

K- Pagal hogaye ho kya, mera paati hospital mein hai aur main ghume jaaun! (Are you crazy, my husband is in the hospital and you want me to go out with you!)

C- 'Paati' kaunsa paati? I say, joh hona tha woh toh hochuka, hume kya? Jaise karni, vaise bharni! Good riddance to him! ('Husband', how is he your husband? I say, what happened...happened, what's it to us? What goes around comes around. Good riddance to him!)

Suddenly there was pin drop silence in the hospital corridor, there was only one sound, the sound of Kanya's right hand meeting Chunnu's left cheek. The people that were in that area at that time just looked in disbelief, they couldn't believe that a girl that just slapped a guy like that in front of everyone. Kanya herself couldn't believe she had done that. Everything happened so fast that she didn't even have time to react. First Chunnu was going on and on with his nonsense and the next thing she knew, she had slapped him.

Chunnu was standing there like a statue, he was still trying to wrap his head around what had happened. Did is best friend just slap him? How could she?

C- Kanya…

Before Chunnu could respond, they heard a nurse paging the doctor over head.

Nurse- Dr. Mehta to room 309…stat! Dr. Mehta to room 309…stat!

K- Ranbir…(she said in a whisper)

As soon as Kanya had heard room 309 she knew it was Ranbir. With out a second thought to Chunnu or anything else, she ran towards his room. She could hear Chunnu calling her from behind, but she didn't care. Her heart began racing because as she approached his room she saw doctors and nurses rallying around his room. Before she knew it she saw Ranbir being rushed out in a stretcher as doctors barked orders to the nurses and junior doctors.

K- Kya hua? Ranbir ko kahaan lekar jaa rahe hai? (What happened? Where are they taking Ranbir?)

Dr- Mrs. Nanda, achanak Ranbir ki blood pressure fluctuate karne lage aur unke pulse bhi kafi gir chuka hai. (Mrs. Nanda, Ranbir's blood pressure began to fluctuate, and his pulse took a dive as well.)

K- Aab…phir…woh…(Kanya couldn't even think straight) (Now...then...but..)

Dr- Hum kuch aur tests karenge, phir hum aapko bataenge. (We will run some more tests and then let you know.)

(the doctor began to walk away)

K- Ranbir tik toh hogayega naa? (Ranbirl will be alright, right?)

Dr- Hum aapni taraf se puri kosish karenge, aap bagwan pe bharosa rakiyeh. (We will do everything in our power, keep faith in God.)

The doctor left and an eerie silence fell into the hall. It was bustling with noise and people just a few seconds ago but now it was silent. Kanya found herself drop onto the chair trying to take just one breath at a time. The words the doctor had said kept repeating in her mind, 'keep faith in God', that is what Kanya had to do.

On her way to the mandir she ran into Chunnu who was sitting out in the lobby of the hospital.

C- Kanya…

K- Chunnu mujhe tumse koi baath nahin karni, tum jaoo yahaan se. (Chunnu I don't want to talk to you, go away.)

C- Lekin… (But...)

K- Just go! I cannot look at you now!

C- Come on Kanya, main tumhara best friend hoon. (Come on Kanya, I'm your best friend)

K- Nahin tum nahin ho. Aagar tum mere best friend hote toh yeh khabi nahin chate ke main vidwa ban jaoon. (No you're not. If you were my best friend you would never wish me to become a widow.)

C- Maine aaisa toh nahin kahaa… ( I didn't say that...)

K- Matlab toh yeh tha naa…Ranbir jaaisa bhi ho, humara shaadi jaaise bhi ho, woh mera paati hai. Tum jaao Chunnu…just go. (she walked away) (That's what you meant though...how ever Ranbir is, how ever our marriage is, he is my husband. Go Chunnu...just go.)

Kanya soon found herself at the small mandir on the lower level of the hospital. The first thing she noticed was that the woman whose husband was brought in earlier was sitting there with a tear streaked face praying. Kanya wasn't big on prayer but she would do anything to save Ranbir, he had to be okay, he just had to. Kanya kneeled in front of the God's idol, joined her hands together and prayed for Ranbir's safety and health.

K- Bagwan, please Ranbir ko kuch nahin hosakta, he doesn't deserve it. Woh jaaisa bhi hai, mera paati hai aur…main jaanti hoon ke kahin naa kahin iss saab ke liyeh zimedar main hi hoon. I have to say sorry to him, I just have to. Bagwan please, Ranbir ko kuch nahin hone dehna. (God, please don't let anything happend to Ranbir, he doesn't deserve it. No matter how he is, he is still my husband...and...I know that somehow I am responsible for what happened. I have to say sorry to him, I just have to. Please God, don't let anything happen to Ranbir.)

Kanya prayed for Ranbir for a while. She didn't know how she ended up on a chair but she did. Another thing she didn't realize what that silently she had been praying with her mangulsutra in her hands.

Nurse- Mrs. Nanda…

Kanya came out of her daze when the nurse called to her.

K- Ji? Ranbir kaisa hai? (Yes? How is Ranbir?)

Nurse- Aapko doctor bula rahe hai, aap chalieyh mere saath. (Come with me, the doctor is calling you.)

K- Lekin… (But...)

Nurse- Please chaliyeh mere saath… (Please come with me...)

Kanya followed the nurse to room 309, but to her surprise they walked right past that room, the empty room.

K- Ranbir…Ranbir kahaan hai…woh…kya hua…mera paati kahaan hai? (Ranbir...where is Ranbir...he...what happened...where is my husband?)

Dr- Mrs. Nanda? (he said from the nurses station)

K- Doctor, mera paati kahaan hai? (Where is my husband doctor?)

Dr- Mrs. Nanda…I mean Kanya, Ranbir ko humne ICU mein shift kar diya hai. (Mrs. Nanda...I mean Kanya, we have moved Ranbir to the ICU.)

K- Kya hua, woh tik toh tha naa? (What happened, his is fine, right?)

Dr- Kanya, humne Ranbir ka MRI aur CT-Scan phirse karaya…aur… (Kanya, we did another MRI and CT-Scan on Ranbir and...)

K- Aur kya… (And what...)

Dr- I'm sorry to say, lekin Mr. Nanda is in a coma. (I'm sorry but Mr. Nanda is in a coma.)

Kanya felt the floor beneath her disappear, she felt her heart stop beating, she felt her blood turn into ice…she felt as if the world had stopped spinning all together.
