"Sir, please keep the remote handy," she hold Jalal's hands and let those touch remote so to tell him about its exact location, placing it near his pillow" I will rest for few hrs in nurse's room adjacent to this room, please don't hesitate to call me for any need." She added
So, u don't sleep at night even, you don't get tired the whole day running here and there for me. Kya khati ho yaar, he teased Jodha.
Sir, being a nurse is not only my profession but to take care of patients is my passion. "Also being a nurse helping my patients shud always be my first priority" she smiled. Though he cud not see her smiling, still he does know when she smiles, he can feel each one of her expressions. An unknown bond has developed between them, which was getting strong day by day. Before operation, Jalal had to undergo many medical tests. As doctor told him, this was not an easy operation, as his eye-nerves has burnt as deep as upto brain, so operation was high risk category. The survival chances are fifty-fifty, besides there were 10% chances of unsuccess as well, means there cud be no return of vision.
Jodha ja chuki thi, He smiled to himself, woh usko kabhi disturb nahi karega, Wud be better for her health , if she cud sleep for few hrs. She was taking care of him, much much more than a nurse. Probably his dear-most friends or near relatives cud not have taken that much care of him, waise relatives k naam per no-one was there who cud be said close, except her Ammi. He did not tell Ammi anything about his accident. She could not have been able to tolerate that. Jalal was the only son, aur uski Ammi usper jaan deti thi like any-other mom.
The gud thing was that she was away, when all this happened. She only knows that Jalal had gone to America for official trip not to show his eyes to some specialist. He gets worried up about her, if he is dead, she wud give-up her life too. But if she see Jalal as a blind person, woh phir bhi jeete ji hi like dead-body. That's why he chooses, to come here alone for operation. He never thought, there cud exist a nurse as Jodha, so dedicated to her profession, and patient. He has started thinking about Jodha a lot these days, he said to himself, first dream girl, now Jodha... Luk like he like the girls whom he can't see in reality. Jodha... Dream Girl... Thinking all this Jane kabh Jalal ki aankh lug gayi thi.
"Gud Morning, Sir" Jodha ki awaz ne uski neend khol di. Now enough of ur dream girl, abhi mere haath ki bani coffee pijiye, garama-garm. Yah , thats true, she had come to know about his dream Girl. jalal ne hi bataya tha. Baton-baton me , they already had shared many things about their personal life. Jodha has told him her side of story, how she was doing MBBS and this was her third year, when suddenly three months ago, her MOM has to stop working as she met an accident where she lost her hand. Because of no other monetary support, she has to leave studies, and joined here. "A junior doctor Dr Mita, the one who comes her to monitor your daily dose besides checking ur routine tests , is my friend from my medical college days. She was senior to me by three yrs. After completing her MBBS she joined here, and she is the one, who helped me to refer here for this nursing position in emergency" she had said . Jalal felt sorry for her. He thought, this girl has done so much for me, only if he cud do something for her, but she sounded so full of self-respect, that he cud not dare to say anything.
He started sipping the coffee, taking the cup from Jodha's hand. Where is ur coffee, he asked Jodha" Sir, how u know I am not having coffee" " I can tell every thing about you , sixth sense hai mere pass" jalal claimed smilingly. Acha batayie, mai kaisi huun."Theek hai U r a 19yrs old young girl, fair complesion,slim posture, height yahi koyi 5'5" nose parrot jaise, long black hair, aur bahut hi khubsurat 2 badi badi kaali aankhen;..." bolte bolte Jalal jaise ruk gaya. He realised he was giving the description of Dream Girl; Has he said too much?
"Sorry, jodha, I was just kidding," he realised, he has never seen Jodha, so he shud not have tried to describe her. .-----------contd
