Jassi is due for another hospital visit, and this time Nandu, Beauty, Chaman and Angel (!😉) are going with them. Angel goes about with a wide grin on her face. "At last……kitne dino ke baad main city jaungi….Armaan, hum log hospital jaane ke baad, thoda sa city ghoomenge na?"
Armu: (warily) Sure…lekin bahut time nahin le sakte, Jassi ke liye itna exertion theek nahin…..aur tumhara pair bhi toh poori tarah theek nahin hai…
Angel nods quite amicably, while Chaman, who is passing by, whispers, "Angel ji, aap shehr jaane ke khayal se bahut khush lag rahe ho……"
Angel: (trying to look cool and indifferent) Well of course…itne din gaon mein reh-reh kar, koi bhi bore ho jayega…..
Chaman: Nahin ji…..aapko aise lagta hai….uss din picnic se waapas aate waqt, jab maine aapko pind ghumaya tha 😃, tab aapko achcha laga tha na…?
Armaan overhears this and comes over with a wicked look in his eyes. "Ghumaya tha…..?? Yeh kaise hua Chaman….hume toh laga tha ki tum Angel ko tractor mein bitha ke seedha ghar laaye the…phir yeh ghoomna-voomna….?"😆
Meghna: (joining in) Armaan, waapas lane ke liye ek chhoti road hoti hai, aur ek lambi….yeh driver ke upar depend karta hai ki wo kis road se passenger ko le jaana chahta hai….right Angel?
Angel: Shut up you two!
But she is blushing: apparently the picnic has changed quite a few things!😉😳
They all get in and drive off in a cloud of dust. When they arrive at the hospital, Chaman and Nandu take Angel to get her foot examined, while Armaan and Beauty accompany Jassi for her regular check-up. The doctor smiles as she hands over the reports, but adds, "Abhi tak toh sab theek hai….but Mr.Suri, next week aap inhe admit kara dijiye…inki delivery date paas aati ja rahi hai…."
JandA look at each other in dismay. Armu asks, looking downcast, "Par doctor, itni jaldi…?"
Doctor: Mr.Suri, isme koi jaldi ki baat nahin hai….yeh normal procedure hai….aur iss haalat mein aapko koi risk nahin lena chahiye….
They file out of the cabin, Armaan holding Jassi's shoulders 😳comfortingly. The others join them and say that Angel's sprain is now quite all right, but she should give it a little exercise to get it back into normal walking condition. Beauty morosely informs them about the doctor's orders. Everyone except Angel looks subdued.
Angel says practically, "Come on guys….we all knew it, na? Agar doctor ne kaha hai toh follow toh karna hi chahiye…aur Jassi ko ghar pe rakh ke, risk lene se achcha hai ki wo yahaan experts ke paas rahe…"
They all seem to agree, albeit reluctantly.
Tomorrow: Preparations
