Raman got shocked hearing this and said -kya, yeh medicine lene de meri yaaddasht jaa rahi hai.
Prasant -yes Mr bhalla, Aap apni yaadein bhoolte jaa rahen hai.
Raman -tabhi mujhe kuch yaad nahi rehta, I always feel lost.
Prasant -yes, these r the side effects of this medicine. U have to stop taking it. Tabhi Aap thik ho payenge. Waise why u r taking these medicines.
Raman -i don't remember precisely, simmi answer him. Why I am taking these medicines. He said looking at simmi.
Simmi was tongue tied not knowing what to say when Mr bhalla asked -bolo simmi.
Simmi-why u r asking me papa, don't u remember bhai was depressed. So we consulted the doctor and he prescribed these medicines.
Prasant -can u please call that doctor, coz no doctor can prescribe these medicines, it's an offence. Ek insaan se uski pehchaan chin lena, a doctor just cant do it. U guys can send him behind the bars for this. He said making simmi and param scared.
They were looking at each other when Toshiji said -yes call him. Uski himmat kaise hui meri puttar ko galat dawa dene ki. I will not spare him.she said in anger when Mr bhalla said-yahin -bulao usse, he has to answer us.usse jail bhejwa kar rahunga.
Param nodded and pretended to call and then said -his number is unreachable.
Prasant -no problem, tell me his name. I will get his registration cancel. Then he look at Raman and said -mr bhalla, aap please yeh dawa lena bandh kar dijiye. Aapko jo bhi problem hai. Come to me, I will treat u. OK.
Raman nodded and said holding his head -i am feeling terrible pain doctor.
Prasant -that's because of not taking these medicines. I am giving u an injection. U will feel better.
Raman -injection, koi pills se kaam nahi chalega .
Prasant -no Mr bhalla, don't worry, u will be fine. He said and filled the medicine in the syringe. Ishita went closer to Raman knowing his fear for injections while Raman closed his eyes in fear. Prasant poked the needle in his arm and his another hand involuntarily got locked with ishita. She hold him tightly while her eyes were shut tightly not able to see him in pain. Their kids and Mr bhalla got happy seeing this while simmi-param and toshiji looked away.
He injected the medicine into Raman and said -now u lay down closing ur eyes, soon u will feel good. He said and signalled ishita to be with him. She nodded and sat next to him when simmi said -why u r sitting here, chal hatt yahan se.
Mr bhalla -simmi, let her be. I want to talk to u.
Toshiji -but bhalla ji,
Mr bhalla cut her and said -i want all of u in the hall now, ishita u stay here. He said and all went out while ishita was sitting beside him caressing his hair softly. He tried to open his eyes to see the person but the injection started showing its effect and in no time, he was in deep slumber.
Ishita pecked his temple and said -aaj bahut badi jeet ho gayi raman. Ab aap yeh dawa nahi lenge. Now very soon u will remember all of us, aur phir simmi aur param ki hum unke kiye ki saza denge. Haan raman hum mil kar unhe punish karenge. She was saying and cuddle him in herself feeling happy and contented.
In the hall,
Mr bhalla -u keep trying param, I won't leave that bloody doctor, will send him behind the bars.
Prasant -u should do that uncle, yeh medicine bahut dangerous hai uncle,iss tarah isse raman ko dena, it's like snatching his life from him. And it's crime, yeh medicine sirf kuch patients ko di jaati hai, joh bahut aggressive ho jaate hai.to control them, aur jisse di jaati hai. The doctor took an undertaking from some relative. Aap log yaad kijiye Kahin aap logon ne aisi koi undertaking sign toh nahi ki hai warna in place of him, one of u will go to jail. He said making all shocked.
Mr bhalla -simmi, tumne koi undertaking sign ki thi, yaa param ne. Jisne bhi woh undertaking sign ki hogi I will not spare him or her, will send them behind the bars. He was asking when Toshiji said -maine ki thi bhalla ji.
Mr bhalla turned and look at with shocked expression when she said -raman ki tabiyat bahut kharab thi, he told me to sign those papers or else he will not proceed. So I signed them. Mujhe nahi pata tha that it will harm my puttar. Sorry bhalla ji,meri wajah se raman ki yeh haalat hai. She said and start crying when romi said-why u r crying maa, aapne sign kiya but who provoked u. That doctor, aur koi doctor aisa kyun karega ,why he will prescribe wrong medicine unless someone has instructed him same. He said looking at simmi and param.
Simmi-tere kehne ka kya Matlab hai, ki maine bhai ko galat medicine di hai.
Romi-nahi di, toh phir uss undertaking tera yaa param ke sign kyun nahi hai, maa ke kyun hai. When u r the one who is taking card of bhai. Bhai ke liye doctor bulaya tum dono ne, unka khayal rakhne ki responsibility li tum dono mein, even bhai ko medicines bhi tumne di.toh undertaking par tum dono ke signature kyun nahi hai. Issliye kyunki tum dono uss samay wahan the nahi yaa phir kyunki tum dono ki absence mein uss doctor ne yeh sab drama kiya tha. He said making mr bhalla suspicious.
Mr bhalla look at simmi-param and said -answer him,kya romi joh keh raha hai woh sahi hai.
Simmi-nahi papa, why I will do this, bhai mere bhi bhai hai. aap meri baat toh suno.
Mr bhalla -i don't want to hear any excuse, mujhe bas itna batao ki jab raman ki responsibility tum dono par thi, toh usse yeh banned drugs kyun di jaa rahi thi. Aur undertaking par Toshiji ka naam kyun hai when u two were taking care of raman. He said while Toshiji was crying saying one thing again and again-maine koi galat dawa nahi di raman ko, main kyun apne puttar ko galat dawa dungi.
Mr bhalla -chup rahiye Toshiji, simmi -param, tell me, I want an answer.
Simmi and param was just looking at each other when Mr bhalla said-yahin -oh toh tum dono ke paas koi jawaab nahi. But I want answer.warna tum dono dekhoge main kya karta hoon. And simmi one more thing, I don't want u near to Raman anymore. Ishita uski biwi hai, woh raman ko dekh bhaal karegi. he said making kids and romi happy. While prasant bid adieu seeing the discussion getting ugly.
Simmi started her emotional drama hearing this from Mr bhalla and said -how can u say that papa, uss aurat ne meri bachchi ko maar daala aur Aap usse ghar mein jagah de rahe hai, family mein jagah de rahe hai.
Mr bhalla -haan de raha hoon, coz she is a part of our family. Aur rahi baat ananya ki, toh woh meri bhi kuch lagti thi, aur uske liye shayad main ishita ko kabhi maaf naa karun but I can't let my son die for it. he said straightly making pihu bad while simmi-param started their drama.
Param -i think hamare liye yahan koi jagah nahi hai, itne saal iss ghar ki dene ke baad bhi agar meri bachchi ki kaatil ko yahan rakha jayega,usse family ka hissa banaya jayega, toh I don't think we can stay here. Simmo samaan bandh.
Toshiji -param, yeh tum kya keh rahe ho. Bhalla ji dekhiye naa, they r going, kuch toh boliye.
Mr bhalla -beti ko toh Ek din apne ghar jaana hi hota hai. If param want to go, I can't stop him. He said making simmi-param shocked.
Toshiji -bhalla ji, yeh kya keh rahe hai, uss ishita ke kaaran, Aap apni beti ko nikaal rahen hai. Main aisa hone nahi dungi.
Mr bhalla -toh kya karengi aap, Ek undertaking aur sign karengi ,hum sabko woh banned drug dengi. aap toh chup ho rahiye, u have already done a blunder. Agar aapko jagah koi aur hota toh shayad jail mein hota.he said and went to his room. All went to their respective rooms, only simmi, param and Toshiji was standing there.
Simmi tried to say something to Toshiji when Mr bhalla called her in. She too went inside leaving simmi-param alone. They looked at each other and then went to their room in anger. Ishita, who was watching all this from her room's door got happy seeing all this and thanked her Murugan to help her in the best possible way. She went back to Raman thanking her Murugan anf hugged him again while he was sleeping carelessly on her arms.
Her eyes got moist seeing him so near and said -I am sorry raman, one day I told u to go away and u really went away from me. Itni dur chale gaye Aap mujhse ki ab mujhe pehchaan bhi nahi rahe. I know I am the culprit behind all ur pain, simmi mujhse badla lene ke liye aapko takleef pahuncha rahi hai, coz she knows u r most precious for me. I am sorry raman, really sorry. She said and pecked his temple again while he snuggled more into her.
