CHAPTER 18
ALL THE NAMES & PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS (if any resemblance to persons & places is purely coincidental). Any MEDICAL PROCEDURES, MEDICAL TERMS, RELIGIOUS TERMS, Punjabi terms, architectural terms, IT terms & programs, hospital/office hierachy, wedding rituals, etc. are from my imagination hence THEY ARE NOT TRUE.
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!
Once Anjali had barged out of the Chairman’s Office in anger, the three elders entered the room. Ranjit and Shashank supported Maan one on either side and made him stand up. Maan stood up but winced in pain. Ranjit and Shashank made Maan lie on the sofa present in the room and made him comfortable. “Shashank beta, can you please call Dr. Aluhwalia to check Maan? I think he has either sprained his back or pulled his back.” Savitri Devi requested Dr. Gupta.
“Yes Maa, I’ll call him at once.” Saying this Dr. Gupta rushed to call Dr. Aluhwalia.
Half an hour later after Maan was thoroughly examined, Dr. Aluhwalia diagonosed, “Ma’am, Dr. Khurana does not have a serious injury. However he has pulled a muscle while falling down therefore I’ll advice him complete rest for a week. He should not lift weights and be on complete bed rest for first four days. Please give him heat compression for his back at least four times a day and rub this medicated ointment twice a day for 7 days.” Dr. Aluhwalia handed the prescription and left. Leaving Maan in Ranjit’s care, Savitri Devi stepped out to get Maan’s medicated ointment when she came face to face with angry Dr. Gupta. “Maa, mai abhi Anjali ko bulakar usse Maan se maafi maangne ko kehta hoon. Woh aise kaise gusse mein Maan ko chott pauhcha sakti hai? Acha hai usne khudh hi resign kar diya warna mai........” (I will call Anjali and ask her to apologise to Maan at once. How can she forget her manners and hurt Maan. It is good that Anjali has already resigned otherwise I would have......)
“Shashank, aap shaant ho jaayiye! Hum jaante hain ki aap Maan se kitna pyaar karte hain. Aap Maan ko apna prodigy nahi magar apna “beta” samajhte hain. Magar Shashank aap apni mamta mein bhool rahe hain ki Maan ne ek ladki ke saath badtameezi ki hai.” (Shashank calm down! I know you love Maan more like a son rather than your prodigy. But in that love you cannot forget that Maan has misbehaved with a girl.)
“Mai maanta hoon ki Maan ne galati ki hai Maa. Magar Anjali ko koi “haq” nahi banta ki woh Maan ke saath physical force use kare.” (I agree that what Maan said and did was wrong. But Anjali had no right to use physical force on Maan.)
“Shashank, humari ek baat ka jawab dijiye ki agar jo proposition Maan ne Anjali ke saamne rakha thaa agar waise hi proposition kissi ne Meera ke saamne rakha hota toh kya aap phir bhi......?” (Shashank just answer my one question, if someone would have put the same indecent proposal in front of Meera which Maan put in front of Anjali, would you have still......)
“MAAAA!!”
“Kyun Shashank? Anjali bhi toh kissi ki beti hai jaise Meera tumhari beti hai. Woh Khurana Hospitals mein kaam karti hai iss se uski izzat kam nahi hoti. Infact hum sabko usse zyada protect karna chahiye kyunki uska parivaar uske saath nahi hai. Khair, iss baare mein hum baad mein baat karenge abhi hummein Maan ki dawa laani hai.” (Why Shashank? Anjali is also someone’s daughter like Meera is yours. Just because she is an employee of Khurana Hospitals doesn’t in anyway make her self respect less. In fact its our duty to keep her safe and protect her in absence of her parents and family. Anyway, we will talk about this later, just now I have to go and fetch medicine for Maan.)
“Maa, aap Maan ke paas beithiye mai dawa laata hoon.” (Maa you don’t bother. You stay with Maan, I’ll get the medicine.) Saying this Dr. Gupta left for Pharmacy.
Savitri Devi had just turned to go towards Maan’s room when a male voice stopped her. “Maaf kijiyega Maaji, kya aap mujhe batta sakteen hain ki Dr. Kavyanjali Mishra ka kamra kahaan hai?” (Excuse me Ma’am, can you please tell me which is Dr. Kavyanjali Mishra’s cabin?)
Before Savitri Devi could answer, Ranjit came out of Chairman’s office and was shocked to see the strange man talking to his mother. Slowly a smile of recognition graced his lips and he hugged the stranger affectionately, “Ram yaar, itne saal tu kahaan thaa?” (Ram, where were you for so long?)
Ram hugged him back saying, “Ranjeete, tu bhi toh chaudavi ka chand ho gaya thaa.” (Ranjit you had also vanished without any trace.)
Ranjit introduced Ram to his mother. “Maa, yeh Ram Kapoor hai mera college ka jigri dost.” (Maa, this is Ram Kapoor, closest friend from college.) Ram touched Savitri Deviji’s feet. Then Ranjit side hugging his friend asked, “Ram, Lakshmi kaisa hai?” (Ram, how is Laksmi?) Smile vanished from Ram’s face and he became frozen. “Bol na yaar, Lakshmi kaisa hai?” (Tell me Ram, how is Laksmi?)
“Lakshmi abb iss duniya mein nahi hai.” (Lakshmi is no longer in this world.) Ram said with tears shimmering in his eyes.
“KYA? Yeh kaise hua Ram?” (WHAT? How did this happen?)
“Yeh bahut lambi kahaani hai. Lakshmi..........” (This is a very long story. Lakshmi.......... ) Ram’s mobile rang. Seeing the number, Ram at once answered the call, “Haan beta. Tum kahaan ho? Mai abhi aa raha hoon.” (Yes my child. Where are you? Yes I’ll come at once.) Ram disconnected the phone and said, “Ranjeete, mujhe abhi jaana hoga magar mai tujhse phir miloonga. Mujhe tere se dher saari baatein (talk with with you on lot of things) karni aur teri madatt bhi chahiye kissi ko dhoondhne mein.” (Ranjit, I have to leave now but I’ll meet you soon. I have lot of things to discuss with you as well as I need your help in locating someone.)
“Haan, haan yaar tu abhi jaa. Abb toh hum dono mil gayen hain, jab tu free hoga bahut baatein karenge. Yeh le mera number.” (Yes, yes don’t worry. You go and do your work. We will meet whenever you are free and talk. Here is my business card.) Both friends exchanged their business cards. Ram again touched Savitri Deviji’s feet and left.
Meanwhile, Maan was feeling better as Dr. Aluhwalia had injected painkiller intravenously in Maan’s blood stream. Hence, Maan got up and walked until the window. When he looked out of the window his blood started boiling and his eyes turned blood shot red.
Geet (Anjali) was being hugged by a man dressed in business suit. As back of both Anjali and the man was towards Maan he did not know how the man looks, his age, his physique etc. Maan’s jealousy and insecurity again rose to surface which previously was forcibly squashed down by Anjali’s flinging Maan on the ground. In Maan’s head Geet (Anjali)’s parting words were echoing, “Have a nice day, Dr. Maan Singh Khurana! I hope we never meet again!"
“I hope we never meet again!"
Unable to remain calm any longer, Maan called the detective Sam in US and told him all about Geetanjali (Anjali)’s whereabouts. Sam asked Maan to relax and be patient while he will try to find who that man was.
Later in the evening, Ram and Anjali got a call from Priya and Annie. After both had spoken to Ram and Annie to Kavyanjali, Priya took the phone from Annie and started giving Kavyanjali instructions after pleasantries were over. “Beta, aaj se paanch din baad Karvachauth hai. Iss liye..........” (My dear after five days there is Karvachauth. Therefore...........)
“KARVACHAUTH? Magar Maa hummein kyun Karvachauth karna hai? Humara to vivaah bhi nahi hua hai. Papa pichele gyarah saal se hummein Karvachauth ka vrat rakhne ko kehtein hain aur abb aap bhi.” (KARVACHAUTH? But Maa, why do I have to do Karvachauth? I’m not even married as yet. Papa has been making me do Karvachauth fast for past eleven years and now even you?) Anjali said in an annoyed tone.
After few minutes of silence Priya spoke, “Beta, mai maanti hoon ki tumhari shaadi nahi huyi hai magar kabhi na kabhi toh hogi aur tabh tumhara pati hoga. Iss liye abhi se tum uski lambi umar ke liye prathana karo.” (Anjali, I agree that you are unmarried but sooner or later you will get married. Therefore you are doing this fast for your future husband’s long life.)
“Maaaa...........” Anjali whined.
“Anjali kya apni Maa ki itni bhi baat nahi sunnegi?” (Anjali won’t you agree to your Maa’s this little request?) Priya said in a disappointed tone.
“Theek hai Maa. Aap aur Papa humesha emotional blackmail karke hummein manna lete hain. Theek hain boliye kya karna hai.” (Alright Maa. You and Papa always make me agree to your emotional blackmail. Ok tell me what I have to do?)
“Beta, tumhei subah utth kar........” (After you get up, do first thing in the morning........) Priya gave Anjali detailed instructions of Karvachauth vrath which were different from what she was doing so far. Priya concluded saying, “Beta, chahti toh mai bhi thi ki Karvachauth par mai tumhare Papa aur tumhare saath hoti magar Annie ke doctor out of town hain aur Karvachauth ke do din baad hi US aayenge.” (Anjali, I would have loved to be with your father and you for Karvachauth but Annie’s doctor is out of town and will return only couple of days after Karvachauth.) After few more pleasantries and talking to Ram, Priya called off.
