Part 20:
Mandira was sobbing profusely after the revelation to mihir, while mihir shell shocked to his core after the news was just blank for some moments.
He couldn't come to terms with what truth had just been exposed to him.
After a few moments he spoke in a deep baritone voice: mandira do u have any idea of how much I respect you.
U r not only my dear friend Anupam' sister but also the woman who saved me.
I was extremely happy n confused on seeing u alive today happy as u were in front of me n confused at ur pregnancy.
N now u r telling me that I m this kid's father do u have any idea of absolutely what have u just said.
Do u think I m a fool to believe this, now just come out with what rubbish is this?
Mandira (looking at mihir with wide eyes filled with tears): "rubbish, u said all of this is rubbish mihir virani?
Do u think this child in my arms here is some rubbish?
Mihir I today curse the day I saved you somehow, had I not met u the day I did perhaps life would have been different today.
I'll tell you now what is rubbish? And what sort of a fool I have been really.
The day you had Ur accident after taking a wrong turn in that remote village, after Ur car fell in a valley some villagers passing by that jungle sort of an area who saw u brought u to me.
I was there for a social camp mandatory for all doctors, u were bleeding badly n were serious yet I somehow saved u.
On recovering u had lost ur memory as u had been hit hard on ur head, not having any other place or identity along with the weakness caused by your accident.
I tried to help you but not having the knowledge of hypnotherapy or psychology I couldn't help you regain r memory ur ID cards to had been destroyed as u were wet being near a swampy area, so there was no ID proof to know who you are.
Some elders from the village asked u to stay there with them in hopes that someone from your family will find u as ur traveling would mean a great risk in that condition.
U were convinced, despite the accident ur recovery was fast except the amnesia u recovered completely in physical terms.
I was supposed to stay six months there for my tenure n u were there out of no choice.
While I served my term n u lived there as well we turned friends, while I served them medically
You despite being amnesic where very sharp n had helped the villagers thru ur mind, their everyone called u Suraj as u had brought light to their lives thru ur immense understanding.
Time passed by, by curing u I fell in love with u n u to developed feelings for me thou not as strong as mine.
N then came that dark night when everything changed in my life n I could never be the same again. My tenure was about over only 2 weeks remained for my returning back.
It was raining pretty heavy n we were out after attending a child who was really sick n needed immediate medical attention.
After my visit to him u accompanied me back to my quarters as it was very late n dark.
After we got back really tired n wet I committed a mistake I should have never did.
I invited u in for a cup of tea while the rain could stop, later as I got u tea I tripped n it spilled all over u. u were a bit burnt due to the hot tea n I came close to see u n then ……………………….
I could not stop what followed next, the next few moments which seemed ethereal to me once now haunt me every single moment I live, those moments mihir, I , I , "
Mihir (hesitantly): I what mandira?
Mandira: I completely gave myself over to you surrendering my heart, mind, soul n body. (Mihir just gazed at her as she said this, after a long pause) that night has given me this (looking at karan in her arms).
Ek aurat maa banna apna sabse khoobsurat anubhav maanti hai mihir magar main ek aisi maa ho jo apne baccche ke hone par khush ho ya uddas nahi jaanti.
Aur nahi jaanti ki kyon 1 galti Jo humne ki ab iski kismet banegi, mihir hum galat the par iska kya kasoor hai siva iske ke yeh paida hua, kya galti hai iski batao?
Mihir (gathering courage): par tumne itne waqt kuch kaha kyon nahi aur apne maut ko kyon jhootlaya nahi?
Mandira: kya kehti, us raat ke baad humne faisla kiya shaadi karne ka, aur tum bahut paresaan the apni pehchaan pane ke liye.
So humne soocha ki tum mere saath Mumbai chaloge aur tab hum tumheri photos bade papers main aur tv par dekar tumheri family ko dhoondhkar shaadi karenge.
Par isse pehle hi humme tumhara parivaar mil gaya, jab hum Mumbai gaye toh mere bhaiya 1 function mein apne 1 naye business partner ke saath apni company ka tie-up announce kar rahe the, woh partner tha tumhara bhai Hemant.
Waha main tumhe le gayi thi apne bhai se milane par tumhari family humme mil gayi aur mujhe maloom hua ki tum mihir virani ho aur, aur 1 shaadi shuda aadmi ho, Tulsi naam ki biwi hai tumhari,
Apna ghar baasane chali thi, apni duniya jalla aai.
Tum apni family ke saath chale gaye aur main khadi reh gayi apne ghar pahunch kar tum bahut khush the.
Phir gharwalo ke saath aur psychiatric treatment ne tumhe jaldi theek kar diya aur tumhe hamre bare main kuch yaad nahi raha, aur mujhse kuch bhoolaya nahi gaya.
Maine kuch din toh chup reh kar nikal liye par baad main apne bhai aur mom ko kaha hamare bare main, bas woh 1 raat chhupayi.
Apne dil se harkar mere khayal jaane kaha gum the ki mujhe doctor hoker bhi Ehsaas nahi hua ki main pregnant hu.
Yeh mujhe us trip par maloom hua jis ke baad aap log mujhe mara hua maan ne lage.
Mere dil ka tootna bhi mere bhai ko tod gaya tha toh mera kunwari maa banna unhe jeene na deta.
Isliye jab woh flight crash Hui aur meri maut ki khabar aayi toh mujhe laga yahi thik hai meri maut mere bhaiyya ko rulaayagi par yeh zindagi unhe mar degi.
So main yaha apne dost Dr. Scott Walters ke saath kam karne lagi usne meri maddad ki aur humne yaha 1 hospital Hope Medical Care naam se hospital shuru ki.
Mihir walked out of room hearing all that, n mandira just saw him going.
Later she turned to her baby n said beta I love you more than anything in this world now u r the reason n source of my life.
You have given me today the most beautiful feeling in this world that of motherhood par main nahi jaanti ki main tujhe kya de paaongi, Siva tere naam ke.
Aur tere liye shayad karan se jyada accha naam ho hi nahi sakta, kyunki tu bhi meri galti ko bharega bina kasoor jaise karan ne bhara tha apni maa ki galti ko.
Saying this she hugged him tightly n began crying profusely.
