CHAPTER 18(a)
ALL THE NAMES & PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS (if any resemblance to persons & places is purely coincidental). Any royal titles, RELIGIOUS STORIES AND TERMS; MEDICAL TERMS, MEDICAL PROCEDURES, MILITARY TERMS, MILITARY PROCEDURES, LEGAL 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 !!!!!

Ranjit whispered to Savitri Devi to come in his study with Rishabh, Neel, Yash, Arnav and Vicky as he has to talk something urgently regards Geet with them. He thought not to tell Krishankant and Radharani now as they had just calmed down after dropping of the bombshell by Geet. Hence, Savitri Devi did not ask Veer and Sid to come. Once everyone was gathered he tried to tell everyone as gently as he could about Geet being admitted in the hospital. Rishabh, Neel, Yash and Arnav wanted to immediately go and meet Geet leaving Veer and Sid to look after their parents. Vicky decided to take them as Rajsinghania brothers didn't know the Delhi roads. Savitri Devi also accompanied them saying that as she knows Dr. Sudha Gupta personally it will help. Ranjit also wanted to accompany them but Savitri Devi asked him to stay back and keep Krishankant calm.
"MRS. GEETIKA KHURANA IS SUFFERING FROM STOMACH CANCER !" These were the words which welcomed Savitri Devi, Rishabh, Neel, Yash and Vicky as soon as they entered AER. (Accident & Emergency Room)
"CANCER!!" There was faint gasp from Savitri Devi, Rishabh, Neel and Yash.
"Whether it is Malignant(life threatening) or Benign (non life threatening) will only be detected after doing her biopsy." The doctor's words felt as if someone had stabbed them in their stomach. Before they could go forward and ask Doctor their queries and concerns, they saw Dr. Sudha Gupta and Meera supporting and guiding Maan to the nearest chair. Savitri Devi, Rishabh, Neel, Yash and Vicky rushed towards Maan and Dr. Sudha Gupta. They were suprised to see Sameera, Gauri and Pari also present here as well.
Once there were in front of desolate Maan, Savitri Devi asked, "Maan, Geet kaisi hai?" (Maan how is Geet?)
"Dadimaa, Geet abhi bhi behosh hai." (Geet is still unconscious.)
"Pregnancy ke saath Geet ko yeh taqleef bhi hai." (Along with pregnancy, she is suffering from this illness as well.)
"GEET PREGNANT NAHI HAI !" (Geet is not pregnant!) Dr. Sudha Gupta answered.
"Toh phir pregnancy..." (Then pregnancy...)
Dr. Sudha Gupta narrated what Dr. Radhakrishnan had said. Then she left the family to be together in stressful time as she was called by nurse.
"Maan kya tum ko yaa tum ladkiyon ko Geet ki condition ke baare mein pehle se patta thaa." (Maan did you or any of you girls' know about Geet's this condition?) Rishabh enquired. Maan, Sameera, Gauri, Meera and Pari shook their head in negative.
Location: PRESIDENTIAL SUITE, CITY HOSPITAL, NEW DELHI at 02:00p.m.
Geet finally stirred after an hour of being admitted in the hospital. Although she was still not fully conscious but delirious. She was mumbling something in her delirious state. Nurse immediately went and called Maan, "Mr. Khurana, you wife is semi conscious."
Maan ran towards Presidential Suite followed by Savitri Devi, Rishabh, Neel, Yash ,Vicky, Sameera, Gauri, Meera and Pari. Maan reached to find a restless Geet mumbling. Maan went near Geet's bed and heard her restlessly saying, "Ma...an...Ma...an
...Maan!"
Maan held Geet's hand and said, "Geet tumhara Maan yahaan hai. Bolo!"
"Ma...an...Maan, I...lo...ve...y...o...u! Ma...an...
Maan, I...lo...ve...y...o...u!" Hearing Geet's incoherant but the most desired words, Maan's joy knew no bounds and his eyes started overflowing.
Geet's love confession was not only heard by Maan but the whole family which was present. Bringing joy and peace to everyone present. Geet again dozed off due to effect of medicines.
Just than Dr. Sudha Gupta came with two gentlemen ----
"Maan meet them, Dr. Rajshekhar, a renowed Gastroenterologist and Dr. Pramod Aacharya a renowed Surgical Oncologist."
"Mr. Khurana, I seen your wife's report, her gastric lining has lot of abnormal growths hence its adviceable to have surgery as soon as possible." Dr. Rajshekhar said.
"The cancerous cells are also very invasive i.e. spread out over a large area and deep embedded in the skin. As in India we don't have such specialised instruments and facilities that Mrs. Khurana requires, I suggest you take her as soon as possible to US and get her surgery done."
"Where in US? Which specialist?"
"I will ask nurse to give you all the details. Meanwhile, Dr. Rajshekhar and I will try and make Mrs. Khurana as comfortable as medically possible till she reaches US."
"Doctors we were having few of our marital ceremonies planned for today, can we do it today?"
"I'm afraid not today but maybe by the end of the week."
"Thank you Doctor."
Then Dr. Sudha Gupta along with the two specialist left.
TWO HOURS LATER
Geet finally opened her eyes to the joy of everyone. She looked around and concluded that she is in hospital and everyone is aware of her condition.
"Gudiya, tumhari tabiyat itni kharaab thee aur tumne hummei nahi battaya?" (Gudiya, you were so unwell, why didn't you tell us?)
"Aapne bhi toh mujhe apni shaadi aur Sameera bhabhi ke baare mein nahi battaya?" (Did you tell me about your and Sameera bhabhi's wedding?)
"Woh toh..." (That...)
"Geet beta, abb tum kaisa mehsoos kar rahi ho?" (Geet how are yo feeling dear?) Savitri Devi intervened before arguement could accelerate.
Just then matron entered and ordered in her matronly voice, "Everyone out, only one attendant can stay. Patient needs rest."
Finally both Khurana and Rajsinghania family moved out of the Presidential Suite wishing her to get well soon.
Outside the Presidential Suite, there was an arguement going on of who all will stay with Geet. Till finally Savitri Devi again intervened. "Humari rai hai ki aap sab abhi ghar jaaiye, sirf Maan ko rehne dijiye. Kyunki raat ko Maan nahi reh paayege." (My advice to you all is to go home and let only Maan stay. Because Maan can't stay in the night.)
"KYUN?" (WHY?) Vicky asked.
"Kyunki abhi Maan aur Geet ki vidhivaat tehare se shaadi nahi hui hai! Iss liye raat mein aap mein se koi bhai reh sakta hai. Ek aur kaaran yeh hai abhi aap sab ghar jaayiye aur Krishankant aur Radharani ko Geet ke baare mein shaanti se battaiye. Humari aap se Rishabh aur aap se Neel vinti hai apni zidd chodhiye aur Geet ki iccha poori kariye. Woh aap dono ko lekar bahut pareshaan hai. Chaliye abb hum sab ghar chalte hain. Maan, hum aapki madatt ke liye kissi ko bhejein?" (Because Maan and Geet are not married according to Hindu rites and rituals! In the night one of you brothers stay. One more reason is that you go and and gently break the news about Geet's illness to your parents. I have request to make, Rishabh and Neel please give up your stubborness and do what your sister desires. She is really worried for you. Come now lets go home. Maan do you want anyone for your help?)
"Haan, agar Veer ko bhej saken toh meri help ho jaayegi. Kyunki Adi aur Pinky toh apni post shaadi ki rasamon mein busy hain." (Yes, if you can send Veer it will be a great help. I would have asked Adi, but both Pinky and Adi are busy in post wedding rituals.)
"Theek hai beta! Chaliye ghar chalte hain." (Alright. Come on lets go home.) Savitri Devi like a school teacher gathered all the youngsters and left.
