An hour or so passed by the time vicky got to know about the basic knowledge of OCD...he didn't know something this complicated too can happen to human mind ...he kind of felt pity for nishi's condition he wished that she gets cured soon...a small moan from nearby brought him back from his trance...he looked at nishi to confirm whether she was the one who moaned..to his surprise he saw her moving slightly...at the same time sameera to entered there...she looked at vicky his amused expression made her look at nishi..she quickly moved to her side... vicky to stood beside her...
Vicky(curiously)- is she waking up??
Sameera- i think so...
disturbed by the bright lights around her nishi finally opened her eyes...fixing her sight according to her surrounding she was able to look clearly around herself...the white walls confused her but soon her confusion got cleared when she looked at the two curious faces in front of her..
sameera- how are u feeling now???
Nishi- you...how come...she tried to get up , her head was throbbing from bad headache as if some heavy rock was kept on it , getting hold of her head with her one hand she got up... ahh...
Sameera-nishi don't stress urself...u can rest...
Nishi- no need... she out rightly denied her advice...
Vicky- sameera is right u should rest...
Nishi- was it u , who saved me???, she directly questioned him looking directly in his eyes...
Sameera- nishi this is not the right time to ask all this...take rest for know...we have lot to discuss...
Nishi(in her own trance)- there's nothing to discuss..saying so she got up from the bed, recklessly removed the drip from her hand...
Sameera- what r u doing??
Nishi- i think now i'm perfectly fine...
Sameera- u can't leave like this...
Nishi- do u see any injury on my body...no right...then what's the point of staying here??
sameera- nishi...i...okay u want to go right?
Nishi- yes...
Sameera-u can't leave like this...u have fulfill the discharge formality...
Nishi- i'm ready...what i have to do?
Sameera- okay u wait here...i'm bringing the papers... nishi nodded her head while sameera left the room signaling vicky to have eye on nishi...
Nishi looked lost in her own thoughts while vicky didn't knew how to initiate a conversation between them , it has become quite awkward for him..soon sameera came there with a file in a hand and glass of water...
Sameera- here just sign...rest i will handle...
Nishi-hmm...she forwarded her hand to take the file but instead of file sameera passed the glass of water to her...confused nishi looked at her...
Sameera- u must be feeling thirsty..., without saying anything she took the glass and drank it fully..., here is the file...read it carefully and then sign...
Nishi- haven't u read?
Sameera- i did but u should read it too..., she passed the file to her while nishi started reading...sameera stood beside vicky while vicky was confused with the current happenings he looked at sameera who in return blinked her eyes in assurance...few minutes later...nishi started feeling dizzy...she held her head...to control her dizziness...but no use as she fainted...
Vicky- nishi..sameera what happened to her now...
moving closer nishi she said, nothing she just fainted...
Vicky- but..
Sameera- i altered her drinking water with this..she showed a powdered substance to him..
Vicky- u did this but why??
Sameera- it was important i can't risk her life now..
Vicky- life?? but she was normal..calm and just demanded to go home then where this risk came from?
Sameera- she herself is a risk...did u see how lost she looked ...she is still in that zone of guilt and i doubt been alone she can again take that step...i can't let her go and live alone...
Vicky- can't we tell her the truth..i mean about her mental instability...that way she will be easy to handle..
Sameera- do u think she will easily accept this and get ready for her treatment...she will need time to digest all this..and right now she is not in that state..
Vicky- then what we can do?
Sameera- i'm going to discuss with my senior doctor...what we should do then only we can decide... u should leave now...
Vicky- but she... he looked at nishi..
Sameera- don't worry she will not wake up for next 4-5 hours , u can go and continue ur work...i will call u to inform..
Vicky-okay...with that vicky left
Evening
vicky didn't get any call from sameera so himself came to check on them...he moved towards sameera's cabin but she was busy in talking on phone with someone...she eyed vicky to come inside and have a seat.. vicky waited for her to finish her call , after a minute she did...
Sameera- sorry to make u wait but she was one of patient ..she needed some advice...
Vicky- u remain busy all day?
Sameera- yeah kind of... by the way i talked to my senior about nishi's case she suggested that...but she was interrupted in between by one of her nurse who came there running...
Nurse- mam..that patient...
Sameera- what happened??
Nurse- mam she..
Sameera- what the hell...she ran from there as she knew about whom the nurse is talking about...vicky too followed her...
As she entered inside the room she was shocked to see nishi...the white bed sheet was covered but red patches of blood...her one hand was bleeding while a knife was fallen on floor which was kept there to cut fruits..an other nurse was trying to stop her bleeding...she immediately moved towards her..
Sameera- is she is okay..
Another nurse- she fainted due to heavy blood loss , her pulse is weak ,but blood has stopped now ...she is safe...
Sameera- bandage her quickly!she ordered the nurse...she held her head in tension...
Vicky- how did this happened?
Sameera glared at the nurse who came along with them- i asked u to look after her and when she gain her conscious inform me,then why u didn't??
Nurse-woh...mam actually she(nishi) gained conscious an hour back only...i called u to inform but ur phone was engage..she was not doing anything that time was just staring at wall..then suddenly she asked me for a glass of water..there was no water in the jug that's why i went out to fill the jug but when i returned she...i m sorry mam...
after seeing nishi's behavior she made up her mind to follow her senior's advice to send nishi in rehabilitation center , before she was doubtful as she thought maybe being surrounded by known people will help her but now she can't take risk...she revealed her further plan to vicky..
Vicky- rehabilitation center...r u sure i mean..we should inform her family...
Sameera- there in hoshiyarpur her condition will get worse brij and all will not understand her situation and geet is still recovering...we should not strain her with nishi now..
Vicky- hmm..i think u r right...
One week passed after that incident, nishi was sent to rehabilitation center whereas in maaneet life everything was moving slowly and smoothly...with maan efforts they have come on terms of talking normally..everyday maan made a point to spend as much time with geet..involve her in some talks with him..her hesitation was disappearing slowly now she was much more comfortable compared to before...maan has fully recovered from his injuries while geet was now much much better...
Nurse has stopped coming to change her bandages as she didn't need it now, doc prescribed her a cream to apply on her back as now her wounds were almost healed just small bit of healing was left...
At night..
whole day her wounds were okay as dadima applied the cream on her wounds but now its effect was getting reduced , itching has started on wounds due to dryness...standing infront of dressing table she looked at her cream...
Geet(st)- dadima ko aaj hi marraige pe jaana tha...how to apply this on back now...the itching was increasing minute by minute..
at the same moment maan entered in the room and saw her weird expressions...
Maan- any problem??
Geet- nahi...she faked a smile, the temptation of scratching her back was increasing she tried to overcome that sensation by slightly pushing her back which didn't go unnoticed by maan..
Maan-u r feeling okay...is there any pain in ur back... geet didn't know what to reply him that's when maan's eye landed on the tube which she was holding in her hand...and he understood her problem, he moved closer to her and slowly took that tube from her hand... go and change into something lose i will apply it...
geet eyes were big in shock after hearing his declaration...
Geet-u...but...
maan used his infamous trick to shut her blabbering , putting his index finger on her lips , shhh...do as i say...
Geet- but i don't have anything lose to wear...innocently she confessed..at which maan smirked..taking few steps back he opened his wardrobe and brought a black shirt ...here...wear this in opposite way...got it...not for once his eyes left her's
Geet-hmm... and she left inside the washroom...
15 minutes passed, but there was no clue of her coming outside washroom
Maan- geet, maan knocked on the door...r u okay...why r u taking this much time! while inside geet was cribbing to her babaji
Geet- kya babaji..how can i go in front of him like this, she looked at herself in mirror , her front was fully covered with his black shirt while her back was in exact opposite condition fully bare...showcasing her nasty wounds marks...
Maan once again knocked and this time warned her to break the door if she doesn't came out now...
Geet- dust dhanav ..patience naam ki toh koi cheez hi nahi inmei... praying to her babaji, she finally made her heart and mind strong to face maan in this attire...unlocking the door she stepped outside..
the impatient maan was already waiting...his eyes landed on her feet and moved upwards , her legs were covered with her usual salwar while her hands were protectively wrapped infront...she looked cute and sexy at the same time..maan shook her head to remove the unwanted thoughts from his mind right now and focus on main issue...
Maan-go and lie on the bed...he just ordered without even thinking, geet was so embarrassed and now his words...shocked she looked at him, seeing her shocked expression maan understood in what sense geet too his words...
Maan- no..i didn't mean that..i mean..leave it...lie on bed...it will be comfortable for u and me...
in nervousness what he was uttering he didn't know..it was only geet's expressions which were telling him what wrong he uttered..ignore my words u just lie there...to save him and her from more embarrassment geet decided to lie on bed ...she lied on her stomach so that her back was facing him...
maan sat beside her...with trembling hands he slightly moved her shirt to expose her back...while as a reflex action geet closed her eyes... the wounds on her back pained maan's heart , all other thoughts disappeared from his mind only one thing was left to cure her , to heal her pain...that's it...squeezing the cream from the tube, her slowly applied it on her wounds making sure not to cause her any pain.. the cold sensation of cream finally gave relief to geet...was it medicines effect or the magic of his hands that relaxed her so much she didn't know...but she liked this feeling...suddenly she felt his hands bearing her shoulders...not only that she felt his warm breaths near her ears too, her heartbeats quicken feeling him so close...he nuzzled her ear and dropped feather kisses on her nape..her hold on pillow tightened while feeling his touch, while his other hand came in front and caressed the side of her waist with his fingers...his lips came to her shoulders and kissed her there...the pleasurable feeling forced geet to moan...
Geet-mmm...
Maan- kya hua geet...did it pained???, the concern voice of maan brought back to the real world and she realized she was dreaming...
controlling herself geet replied-no...
Geet(st)- babaji what was i dreaming...my brain is filled with gutter right now...give me strength..
