ALL THE NAMES & PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS (if any resemblance to persons & places is purely coincidental). Any royal titles, MEDICAL PROCEDURES, MEDICAL TERMS, MILITARY PROCEDURES, MILITARY TERMS, Punjabi terms, architectural terms, IT terms & programs, office hierachy, wedding rituals, etc. are from my imagination hence THEY ARE NOT TRUE. PLEASE DON'T BASH ME !!!!!
ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHS DOWNLOADED DO NOT BELONG TO ME BUT BELONG TO THE ORIGINAL UPLOADER. I HAVE JUST USED THEM AS THEY GO WITH MY STORY! PLEASE DON'T BASH ME !!!!!
Geet was not allowed in ICU despite of being a doctor as she was Ayush's mother and injured herself. Matron along with Nurse Mary came and bandaged Geet's wound as she was not responding to their request and questions. Armaan and Neil were trying to revive her baby Ayush. Savitri Devi and Maan were present with Geet but she had not spoken a word neither had she shed a single tear. The New York Police came and asked Maan if they can question her. Maan was sceptical but Geet heard them and said, "I'll answer all your questions, Detective Jones."
"Dr. Singh, do you know the name of suspect?"
"Devdutt Banerjee!"
"Why did he want to shoot you?"
"He did not want to shoot me but Mr. Maan Singh Khurana!" Bringing a gasp from Savitri Devi.
"Why did he want to shoot Mr. Maan Singh Khurana?"
"I don't know!"
"I know, because he wanted to do a business deal in joint partnership with Khurana Industries but I refused. As Devdutt Banerjee uses illegal and under hand ways to achieve his deals." Maan answered.
"How do you know Mr. Devdutt Banerjee, Dr. Singh?"
"This incident happened 7 years back. My sister Rajeshwari (Rajji), who was sixteen at that time and I had gone to local fair in Amritsar, India as we had a depressing incident in our family. We were on our way back home together it became dark and suddenly I found Rajji was no longer walking with me. I searched and searched but could not find her. So I went to my friend Channi's house. With Channi and her brother we searched for three hours in the area where she disappeared and the forest around it, but it was of no avail. Next morning I was thinking of informing Amritsar Police when at 5:00am, I found Rajji in tattered clothes, scratches on her body and there was no doubt that she has been raped. Channi and I took her to Police Sation and lodged a complain. Her medical examination was done and her rape was confirmed. She said her rapist was someone by name of "Devdutt Banerjee". But the trauma of the misconduct was so bad that she was slowly loosing her mental balance. I could not take her home as our family was extremely conservative. Duing court proceedings, one day outside court Devdutt Banerjee wanted to shoot Rajji but Channi was shot instead and she died on the spot. Devdutt Banerjee was sentenced to prison for raping a minor and murder. If you check you will find Devdutt Banerjee's criminal record with Indian Police. Two weeks later we found Rajji pregnant. After 9 months, Ayush was born and Rajji died in child birth. Hence, I adoped the baby, Ayush. I along with Ayush moved to US for my studies." Folding her hands in front of the Policeman Geet begged, "Detective Jones, I beg you to please get justice for my demised sister and my injured son. In India this Devdutt Banerjee could bribe his way through justice but I hope and pray that he is definitely punished in US and cannot bribe his way through!"
"Dr. Singh, we will do best of our ability that he is convicted." Detective Jones reassured Geet.
Just then Dr. Neil and Dr.Armaan came out with grim faces and said, "Anamika hum Ayush ko nahi bacha sake!" (Anamika, we could not save Ayush!) Looking at Detective Jones, Neil said, "Detective, Ayush is no more!" Then they left. Geet was standing like a statue and then there was a thud and Geet had collapsed in dead faint on the sofa. "Guddo, GudDO, GUDDO!" Savitri Devi was screaming and shaking to wake Geet. "Doctor, Doctor..." Maan ran to call Neil.
" Anamika, hum Ayush ko nahi bacha sake!" (Anamika, we could not save Ayush!)
" Anamika, hum Ayush ko nahi bacha sake!"
" Anamika, hum Ayush ko nahi bacha sake!"
This sentence was beating in Geet's brain. Her innocent, simple and carefree Ayush is no more. Ayush who was the only stability and happiness in her life. Her baby, Ayush who was always bothered about her i.e. Has she eaten or not? Is she tired? Many times he made her sleep in his tiny lap when she returned home after an exhausting day in the hospital. AYUSH BROUGHT IN GEET'S LIFE NORMALENCY & HAPPINESS! THAT AYUSH IS NO MORE!
It was half a day since Geet was told about Ayush's demise but Geet had not spoken a word nor shed a single tear. Savitri Devi was extremely worried about her physical and mental health. She had called Ram and Janaki to come to the hospital and asked Maan to go to hotel and be with his Dadaji but Maan refused. Finally, Savitri Devi yelled, "Maan kabhi toh apni zidd chodhiye. Har cheez ka ek samay hota hai. Jaaiye Ram aur Janaki ko bhejiye aur aap apne Dadaji ke saath rahiye!" (Maan for heaven sake stop being stubborn! Everything has its own time. Now go and send Ram and Janaki, you be with your grand father.) Savitri Devi, Janaki and Ram were here at St. Angel's Hospital to take Geet to their hotel as they did not want Geet to stay at her apartment all alone. But after lot of cajoling and Savitri Devi's saying that her Daddu is asking for her Geet said alright she will come after Ayush's last rights. So it was decided that for tonight Ram and Janaki will stay in Geet's apartment.
Next morning it was Ayush's last rites were to be performed by Dr. Nachiket Khanna (Neil) as Ayush considered him as his "Naanu". Against his family's wishes Thakur Amardeep came for Ayush's last rites. Geet just sat caressing Ayush's little hand which she was holding in her hands since his body had arrived. Then panditji came and Raagini and Janaki somehow made her move away from Ayush.
Still there was no tears in her eyes she sat holding his one toy looking into the vacant space. Before Ayush's rites could be started, Detective Peter Jones (FICTITIOUS NAME!) came and wanted to meet Geet, "Mr. Khurana I need to talk to Dr. Anna urgently."
"But she is in too much grief and has not spoken, cried or eaten since she was told of Ayush's demise. Besides Ayush's last rites have to be performed."
"I understand but if we don't talk to her now Mr. Devdutt Bannerjee will be let off."
"Detective ask me whatever you want. I will not let that murderer of my baby and my sister go scott free. Give me a minute." Geet spoke in anger. Suprising everyone present at her change in behaviour.
Geet came back in black trouser suit. Before anyone could say anything she came touched Thakur Amardeep, Savitri Devi, Dr. Neil, Ram, Janaki and Raagini's feet saying, " Mujhe aap sabka aashirwad chahiye ki mai apne bacche ko nyay dila sakun!" (I want all of your blessings so I can get justice for my son!) And left with the Detective. She was brought as a witness to the lowest court (I Don't know the hierachy of US legal system!) The judge asked Geet and she gave same statement she gave Det. Jones. Then Judge asked, "How are you so sure that the little boy was related to Mr. Devdutt Bannerjee?"
"Your Honour now-a-days medical science has advanced and DNA can find anything."
Judge said, "Please extract Mr. Devdutt Bannerjee's blood in my presence as I have strong doubts that accused may change blood sample later." Hence in presence of judge and the whole court Dev's blood was extracted and taken for test. After that Geet requested, "Your Honour can I leave now as my baby's last rites are being withheld by my absence."
"Yes please you are free to leave and please accept court's condolences on your loss."
Geet nodded and left. Geet just reached her apartment and the panditji started performing the rites. "Devaangat atmaa ke pitah?" (Father of the departed soul!)
"Panditji unka che saal pehle swargvaas ho gaya. Inke Nana, Dr. Nachiket Khanna Ayush kaa kriyakaram karenge." (Panditji he passed away 6 years back. Ayush's last right will be done by his grandfather Dr. Nachiket Khanna.) An emotionless and cold Geet spoke. All the rites were done she didn't cry or speak more than necessary. After the rites were done and everyone was leaving, Geet was in a world of her own grief and was mechanically standing and doing "namaste" to the family and friends who attended Ayush's last rites. Savitri Devi, Raagini and Janaki were getting worried by Geet's behaviour as she had not cried or eaten since she was told of Ayush's demise. They called Matron, Rosie Aunty, Armaan, Riddhima and Mary and requested them to somehow make her cry. Maan was standing away watching all that was happening and didn't know how to bring Geet out her grief as he felt partly responsible for Ayush's demise as Dev's bullet was meant for him. Although he wanted to tell the world that Geet is his wife, but he did not know how as this was neither the right time nor the right place.
Thakur Amardeep, Savitri Devi and Ram left for the Hotel after the last rites were over but Maan and Janaki stayed behind. Despite of promising, Geet didn't want to go with Khuranas she wanted to stay in her apartment with her Ayush's memories. Seeing no other way out Raagini and Janaki decided to spend the night with Geet. Neil forcibly made Geet eat something as she had not eaten for more than 24hrs. But as soon as she ate she had to rush to washroom and throw up. Raagini called Riddhima and requested her, "Dr. Riddhima can you please see whats wrong with Anamika?" Riddhima had become friends with Geet after Armaan had told her that Geet was his rakhi sister and was just acting to be his fiancee to make Riddhima jealous and thereby confessing her love. Riddhima examined Geet and said, "Ma'am Anamika seems to..." then seeing men and many strangers still present she said, "Ma'am it seems Anna's blood sugar and BP is low due to stress and not having had any nourishment for 24hrs. I think we should start with giving her orange juice."
