Chapter 7
jalal POV
I try to call out for but no matter how hard I tried nothing came out my mouth that very moment, I felt too weak to see her like this I breathe heavily and without even thinking what am doing I garb the spiked trap and pull it apart gently yet forcefully. My hand is ozzing blood out but it doesn't matter I need to get help for jodha or she could... die. Finally I mange to pull it apart and set of the trap, I embrace her into my arms I sob bitterly.
Jalal: jodha... jodha kya ho gaya tumhe??
I picked her up as gently as I can and get out of the hole I look at her jodha's face it's too pale her ankle is oozing blood out continuously I feel so helpless I didn't know what to do. I touched it and do something wrong it could kill her. It's then I realize I don't know which way to go I helplessly look around my vision seems blur because of my tears, am running out of time I check her pulse but I hear nothing just some beats in a minute or so, am not going to let anything happen to her nothing I say to myself.
Jalal: yeh khuda hamara jodha ki jaan bacha lijye
Just then my phone rings, I quickly make jodha lay on my lap and grab my phone.
Shreya: jalal kaha ho tum aur jodha kaise hai?
Jalal: shreya... jodha sh she got into a trap help me please I lost track of which way am going please help me. I sob
Shreya: kya?? Tum kya kair rahi ho Hai bagwan ( she starts crying)...do you ... Have any idea where you are??
Jalal: um we are just near the boundaries of the jungle ( I say quickly)
Shreya: ( sobs) okay ... let me go ... and get a map
Jalal: jaldi we don't have much time.
*timelapse*
Finally I drag my feet and reach the campsite everyone looks at me in horror and their almost seems like they don't know what to believe or what reality is. The group is just terrified they quickly run towards me,
Moti: jodha... jo ... jodha ko kya hua jalal?? She crys out
Jalal: main baat main sab kuch baat dongi paar abhi she needs help ... SHE"S NOT BREATHING
Abdul and akshay nods and goes to get contact with mr singh, and salima stays with me and moti.
Mr singh calls a ambulance , the ambulance arrive in no time they take her inside the ambulance and I climb inside it , I hold her hand tightly praying if I hold her hand tight enough I would sent life back to her body and she would wake up anytime and she will be all fine her face glowing with energy . I don't know how long it took me to realize that isn't going to happen. Her hand almost grey and I can see her veins so clearly her rosy lips turning blue!.
Jalal: HER LIPS ARE TURNING BLUE!!! I shout at them they all looked alarmed
Paramedic: sir we need you to calm down we are trying our best we can't do anything right now for this we don't have the exact equipment. We need to get her to the hospital as quickly as we can.
Jalal: PLEASE DO SOMETHING I CAN'T SEE HER LIKE THIS!
Paramedic: am so sorry sir we really cant do anything right now.
I can hear my own hear crying, this is all my fault that she is in this condition I recall jodha's words" YOU bas***d!" I am one this is so true I say to myself. We finally reach the hospital and they quickly get her inside I am still holding her and moving towards the operation theater . I keep my pace as fast as I can with the movements with the paramedics still holding her hand.
Paramedic: sir your hand
I hesitantly remove my hand from her and watch her stretcher going towards the operation room. I knew that my whole world would be torn apart but never did I think that everything would be lost almost as if I can't find anything now to shelter myself.
2 hours later...
Every minute now seems like a year I can't think or hear anything I bury my head in my hands and rocked back and forth, sobbing as I did so, the tears streaming down my face. I feel someone shaking me gently I see a blurred image I see abdul. I get up with much difficulties.
Abdul: jalal hua kya??? Aur jodha kaise hai
Jalal: abdul help please help help jodha I hug him
Abdul: tell me what happened??
Akshay: abdul maybe not the best time to ask he says it in a low voice
Abdul nods just then moti comes running in like a mad women crying out
Moti: JODHA... jodha kaise hai??
Jalal: baata nahi moti I manage to choke out some words.
Salima: jodha ko kuch nahi hoga
I see a nurse running out of the operation room quickly and comes back with a matter of seconds with a tray of equipments. This scares the hell out of me, I stand there not daring to move after a few minutes the doctor comes out his face looks worried this kills a bit of my hope on jodha's survival.
Jalal: jodha kaise hai she is okay right?
The doctor stays silent for a few seconds , his silence is killing me.
Jalal: AM ASKING YOU SOMETHING REPLY TO ME DAMN IT!!!
Doctor: sir she... has lost a lot of blood so much that its threatening her ... life.
My eyes widen with shock and out of the blue I feel scared first time in my whole entire life have I been this scared.
Jalal: but you can treat her right??
Doctor: sir we are trying our best but if she doesn't receive enough blood am afraid she is going to ... die!
Those words echo in my ears never I will never let anything happen to her , am not going to let jodha die I will never forgive myself . I will end my life it seems that my own breathe is betraying me.
Jalal: then how do we help her?
Doctor: blood donation
Jalal: I will do it
I say it with full determination, no matter what happens to me all I want is jodha to be alright I look over at the doctor who seems highly surprised but worriness takes over his emotions.
Doctor: but sir you have also lost much blood this isn't safe for you to do this at this moment
Jalal: I DON'T CARE ABOUT MYSELF RIGHT NOW!!
Abdul rests his palm on my shoulder
Abdul: jalal calm down um doc id there a way one of us could do it?
Doctor: there's problem um do you guys know your blood group, then I need to see if they match then finally I need to know if it will be safe for her. And that will take quite long( okay guys I don't know the process of blood donation let's pretend this is it)
I look at their disappointed faces
Akshay: i don't really keep this sort of information
Salima: sorry jalal
Jalal: that's okay paar jodha ki blood group hai kya?
Doctor: blood group A
Jalal:my blood group is A too ( okay guys I don't know if their blood group would be a match but let's all pretend it is okay )
I felt a slight relief
Doctor: sir honestly not safe for you to do this.
Jalal: I DON'T CARE CANT YOU UNDERSTAND I WILL DO IT!!
Abdul: jalal listen it isn't safe
Jalal: abdul forget about me
Moti: no jalal listen let's see if one of us could do it , and if jodha ever finds out that you were playing with your own life, she will be hurt and jalal she will hate herself for making you do this.
Jalal: that's not gonna happen coz she is never gonna find out guys promise me that you won't tell her anything.
No one promised him right that moment but they painfully promised him.
Akshay: moti is right jalal doc how much time do we have?
Doctor: less than a hour
Jalal: guys please let me do this I say it in a low voice but a voice of determination
Moti: jalal just remember she will never forgive herself for making you do this she sheds silent tears.
I reassure them with my eyes and turn around and go with the doctor, I reach the operation room where is can see jodha she lies there with her eyes cloes her skin almost bloodless my heart aches to see her like this I lay down a bed near jodha . the doctor does some tests to see if my blood is safe for jodha.
Doctor: sir its safe, I just wanna ask you for the last time are you sure about this I mean sorry if I scared you a bit not that you are going to die you are gonna feel a bit paralyzed and extremely weak for about two weeks( again probably not true ) . And I will admit you in this hospital soon and you will gain your strength through medication.
All I do is nod gently she puts the needle in my arms it stings a bit, I can clearly see as my blood is going through a tube and into to jodha's tube minutes pass I can see jodha gaining back colour. A smile crept on my face seeing this and all of a sudden I feel weak and way to tired the nurse comes and wheels my bed into the other room but I can see jodha through the rectangle window near me I lie on my side to see jodha slowly open her eyes and blinks a couple of times as she observes the world of confusion. The doctor says something to her she nods and the doc leaves. I felt no longer scared just relived I could her help her in this truly dark time. Just moments later tears instantly drops drown her cheeks this alarms I want be there with her kissing away her tears and pain. She has gone through so much in one day , one day that came crashing down in a instant.
Jodha POV
I felt like my heart had been ripped out.
Suddenly there was an aura of grey around me . It was a mist that wouldn't rise. A state of depression that I couldn't see myself through. I felt a terrible weight on my shoulders. It was as if a giant boulder was laid on me and I couldn't straighten up or catch my breath entirely. A single tear rolled down my cheek. She looked like death and she didn't care.
Her eyes were puffy from crying because she couldn't stop crying. I feel emptied out like there is nothing left inside me. Just then the group comes in
Moti: jodha tum kaise ho?
My throat feels too swollen to speak , my eyes can't meet them I stare contact less
Salima: jodha?
Akshay hands me a glass of water I look at him and thank him with my eyes and drink it down.
Jodha: um ... I don't know
Abdul: jodha don't worry I will go and get you something to eat
I nod and mange to fake smile
Just then shreya comes in a faint smile appears and drops down.
Shreya: good girl
The group cheers for me, everyone fights to feed me I looke at their innocent love and care for me . I know I should hate jalal to the core but right now I need him , I really need him with me . no jodha why bother thinking stupidity he never... . the group feeds me one by one they all crack jokes but I found no laughter in me the group notices this.
Akshay: I think you need to rest jodha that's why you are not laughing right coz like am damn funny right guys?
He looks around the group for support but there is just a sarcastic silence
Moti: sure if that makes you sleep at night
The group laughs at this but I keep my silence my own silence is killing me the group leaves I stay in the same position same silence but the tears that I have been holding in drops down I am trying my hardest not to cry but I can't help but feel broken and weak. I began to sob and those horrific words echo in my ears in press my palms on my ears to stop them, but no use it is them I make a decision , a choice that will hurt the group I know am gonna regret it but right now it feels like the right option . I close my eyes and fall into deep sleep.
Precap : near to the end of fb and jodha goes forward with her decision
