Parinay- A Short Story

Status- Completed



Prologue


She looked at the elegantly, almost perfectly spread out lehenga around her. She tried to move her feet a little so that she could rest them in a more comfortable way, the tiredness of her wedding day, the stress, finally catching-up with her. But the lehenga was unbearably heavy. She eventually gave up and started looking at the intricate designs that adorned the lehenga, to kill time and also to calm her erratically beating heart. The blood red of the body of the lehenga contrasted beautifully with the the gold work of the zari. Her elder cousin had mentioned that 'the man who was now her husband' loved the colour red, which is why his sister had chosen this lehenga for her. The motifs that ran along the borders were sown with crystals and golden coloured beads that reflected the light off the dress giving a vision of an halo. She touched the motifs tenderly, scared that they might fall off she touched them for long.


She wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel or behave tonight or for that matter in the coming days. At the age of twenty one, she had absolutely no plans of getting married. Being an academics achiever and with an invitation to join one of the most renowned business schools in the country, she was overjoyed that her life could finally begin. But life had seldom given her choices and it was no different this time.


She decided to not let her mind wander to the past once again, decisions had been made for her and she would keep her word.


Her sister in law had mentioned that 'he' her husband, would join her in a few minutes, but when she looked at clock she realised it was more than forty minutes since she had left the room.


With a sense of trepidation Kushi Gupta Raizada waited patiently for her husband of few hours to arrive.

Excerpt-

The electronic screen displayed the number 9. A woman in her early 20s who was wearing a pale yellow kurti teamed with blue leggings looked at the small card in her hands one last time. 'This is it,' she told herself. Then she calmly got up from her seat and walked towards Dr. Manisha Roy's room, her steps assured and her look falsely defiant.

The woman entered the room after knocking the door a couple of times. Dr. Roy was a woman in her mid 40s. She wore a neatly starched Bengal cotton saree. On her nose rested a pair of glasses, the ones with a black frame, which gave her a old school look. She didn't spare the woman in front of much of a glance and asked her to sit down.

She opened a new patient file on her computer. The hospital had implemented a new patient data recording system after a few important patient files went missing last year.. The CEO Avinav Reddy spent nearly 1.5 crores on a new software system. When asked by the board as to why such a big investment was required, he replied 'Instead of keeping the hospital open to any potential lawsuit in the future rising out of any missing patient files, thereby losing crores of Rupees over years, it makes sense to invest in an expensive but efficient software system.' Dr. Roy was impressed with the young man's farsightedness.

Dr Roy finally spared a look at the pale and tired looking girl and immediately turned back to her screen. She was already running late for her next appointment, pleasantries be damned. She had to wind up all her appointments before the weekend, before she could take her much awaited holiday with her family.

She began filling in the details of the patient sitting in front of her and decided to find more about her while doing so.

'What's your name,' Dr. Roy asked. 'Kushi Gupta,' the woman replied. 'Kushi, I'm going to as you a few details before I find out more about your appointment. I need to file these details. Is that okay?' Kushi nodded.

'Age?' '24 years and 2 months old,' Kushi remarked after making a mental calculation
'Title?' Kushi hesitated a little before replying 'Miss'
'Address?' 'No 24, Vasant Kunj Apts, Aurangazeb's Road, Delhi- 11', Kushi replied.

After filling in other mundane details, she finally turned her chair towards the girl in front of her and brought her glasses back so that they would rest on her eyes. 'So Kushi, how can I help you today,' Dr. Roy asked.

Kushi started nervously fiddling with the hem of her kurti. Dr Roy could see that Kushil was shivering a little. At that very moment, she knew why Kushi had come to consult her. In the 20 years of her professional experience she wasn't new to such nervousness displayed by some of her 1st time patients.

Kushi finally decided this had to be said, she had to get this out of the way. She could no longer delay the inevitable.

She took a deep breath and said 'I need an abortion.'

Teaser
Mount Everest, that rises 8,850m (29,035ft) above sea level is the highest mountain on Earth. Since the first ascent in 1953 by Edmond Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, successfully reaching the summit of Everest has been considered one of the greatest achievements in Mountaineering. Every amateur and professional mountaineer dreams to embrace this challenge and reach the highest peak on the earth. The terrain is inhuman and dangerous, temperatures at the top are typically around 36 degrees C below zero in the winter and can drop as low as 60 degrees C below. Avalanches, glaciers, storms, attitude related problems, lack of oxygen all pose as severe challenges and many climbers give up on their effort mid-way. Humans cannot survive for any length of time at elevation above 26,000 feet (8000 m), which on Everest is known as the "death zone."

Alpinist Adventures is popular for its guided ascent trips to Mount Everest. They are taking a group of ten mountaineers on the Everest mountain climbing expedition starting next week.
---------------------

He closed his travel bags after a quick inspection. He checked through the items he had packed, while running through a printed list, to make sure that he had all the items he required for the expedition, including his summit bag, sleeping bag, his medication and his headgear. The trip organiser had re-confirmed that they would provide him with a tent that would be suitable for the conditions, if needed, so he opted out of carrying a tent with him. Before locking the door to his apartment in New York, he recorded a new voicemail greeting message on his home phone.

He had been aspiring to climb the Everest for a long time now, but then 'she' happened and the dream remained just that- a dream. But after the happenings of the last year, he had felt such an overpowering need to do this, not only for his dream, but also for his own peace of mind.

He called her one last time on her phone when an announcement for boarding was made. As it had been the case over the last month the call redirected to a voice mail. He took a deep breath in, stopping himself from leaving a rude message, and then switched off his phone. He then removed the SIM card from his phone and threw it into a trash bin on his way to board his flight.

Arnav Singh Raizada relaxed into his first class seat after taking a sip of the champagne that was served as welcome drink, and closed his eyes. He hoped that this trip would be everything it promised to be; adventurous, exciting, dangerous and most importantly a new start.


------------------


She was packing the last remaining items into her hand baggage, keeping the photo beside her so that she could pack it last . She wanted to be able to take it out easily, so that she could see the photo and hold it close to her whenever she felt like it, during the flight trip. She packed a few more items that were dear to her, an amethyst pendant, a dried peach rose petal and an old worn out T-Shirt, items that reminded her of him, of his scent, of his feel, his touch, his smile, of the memories that they made together, the future they dreamed together.

She closed the bag and wiped the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes. They had promised to take this trip this year to celebrate their fifth anniversary, but fate had other plans. Now she was going to take this trip on her own, scale the heights and keep the promise she made to him. She was going to try and celebrate the memories and the life they shared together. She had an inkling that he'd be watching her, staying closer than ever before, she could feel it already.


Kushi Gupta wiped the moisture that surrounded her glasses, before leaving her home in Notting Hill, London to board her flight from Heathrow Airport.
