Next day
Madhu went to the hospital and got a phone call from her husband to go to his office
"Good morning RK" Madhu
"Good morning Dr. Kundra" RK
"Ok what is wrong?" Madhu felt anger in his tone
"You tell me. What did you do yesterday?" RK
"About what?" Madhu confused
"About Trishna's case" RK
"Oh Dr. Mukand told you?" Madhu
"Yes he told me. You can't let your emotion got in your medical decisions. You know this surgery is high risky. You know that its success rate is less than 20%. How you encourage them to do it. How could you tell this little girl about her disses when her parents refused? How you make a decision not yours to make?" RK angry from Madhu
"I just couldn't wait do nothing while this little girl will die in few months. We must do something. And I was right. They agreed to make that surgery. And she will be healthy again" Madhu
"Are you sure?" RK
"Of what?" Madhu
"Are you sure everything will be ok in her surgery and she will be healthy again?" Madhu
"No" Madhu
"Then why did you convince them to do it. If anything happened to this girl during the surgery they will blame you" RK
"What? Why? I just wanted to help their daughter" Madhu
"That is right. She is their daughter. Not yours to make this decision for her" RK
"Everything will be fine. Don't worry. She will be ok. I was just going to O.R. to know how she is" Madhu
"No. you will not go near her or her family. You will stay here in my office till this surgery ends" RK
"Why?" Madhu
"For once listen to my words. You will stay here" RK
"OK" Madhu
Then they both sat in his office waiting for the news about Trishna's condition. After hour and half his office's phone rang
"Yes" RK
"OK thank you" RK
"Don't let them come here" RK
"I am coming" RK
Then he hang up the phone
"What?" Madhu asking her husband noticing a sad expression on his face
"Nothing. I'll be back. Don't step out from my office" RK
Madhu couldn't prevent herself. She was worry as hell about Trishna. So she left her husband's office and went to the operation room to know what happened to her patient. She saw RK standing with Trishna's parents and they were crying.
"What happened?" Madhu asking RK
"You killed my daughter" Trishna's mother
"What?" Madhu shocked from what she heard
"You killed my daughter. She is dead because of you. We didn't want to do this surgery. Now she is dead" The father
"Dr. Kundra. Go to my office now" RK
"What happened? Is she dead?" Madhu confused and shocked
"Go to my office now" RK
"You killed her. We will never forgive you. You killed her" Trishna's mother
"Madhu I told you go to my office" RK almost shouting at her
She went to his office and broke in tears. Couldn't believe that she caused this little girl's death
After a half hour, RK entered his office. He saw Madhu was completely broken and divested
"Clam down Madhu. It is not your fault. Please relax" RK
"I killed her. She was living her life happy even she was dying" Madhu
"No you didn't kill her. You did what you thought is good for her. Come let's go home" RK
They both back to their house. RK asked the servants to prepare lunch for them both. Madhu didn't want to eat.
"Madhu you can't blame yourself for what happened. You were right. Your entire fault that you let your emotion control you and your decisions. That is wrong in our job. Yes, we care for our patient but we must control our feeling. Not to make it affect our medical opinion. Like I told you before. Everyone makes mistakes. We just must learn from it. And never do it again. Please calm down. I have important work at hospital and I can't leave you like that" RK
"I'm ok. You can go" Madhu wiping her tears
"Are you sure?" RK
"Yes. Don't worry about me. I'll be ok" Madhu
RK left for hospital. When he back to his house. He found the hall is empty and dark. He went upstairs to check on Madhu in her room. He knocked on her door and waited for her to open the door. She opened the door. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying all day. Her face was wet from tears. Her nose was red.
"Do you want anything?" Madhu in very weak voice
"Yes I want to eat. I'm hungry" RK
"Ok I'm coming" Madhu
RK gave her way to go downstairs and prepare dinner for them. He went to shower and change then he went to dining room
"Dinner is ready" Madhu leaving for her room
"I will eat alone?" RK
"I'm not hungry" Madhu
"So I will not eat. And I didn't eat anything all day" RK
"Please RK eat your dinner" Madhu
"I can't eat alone" RK
Madhu remembered when she forced him to eat with her and a small smile crawled up her lips. Then she sat down to eat with him. After dinner, they both went to their rooms to sleep. But neither of them did. Madhu started to cry the moment she entered her room. And RK couldn't sleep knowing his wife is upset. After one hour RK surrendered to his worry and went to check on her
"I will knock on her door lightly. If she is sleeping, I will not wake her up. But if she still awake, I can't leave her alone" He thought in his mind
When he reached her door, he heard concealed sops coming from her room. He knocked and opened the door.
"You still crying?" RK
"Sorry do you need anything else?" Madhu
"Yes" RK
"What?" Madhu
"I need you to stop crying and sleep you need to rest" RK
"I'm sorry. But every time I close my eyes I see her face. I can't believe she is dead. She was full of life and energetic little girl. She reminded me of Trishna. They both share the same name. And the same attitude" Madhu crying
"I know it is hard for you. She is first patient for you to lose. And she was so young. But you have to move on Madhu. You can't let it beat you. She was one patient from many. If you let all your caring for one patient. Who will care for the others? You need to be strong. For your all patients not only one" RK
"I can't. I can't just forget her and move on" Madhu in tears
"Look Madhu, our job is one of the hardest. Emotionally and physically. Being a good doctor is not just know which medicine for which disease. It is to be there for your patient whenever they need you. To be strong to help them go through their hardest times. To think clearly and give them the right and perfect solutions for their medical problems. And we can't do this if we involved emotionally in their cases. We must control our emotion to think clearly for what is good for them. They put their trust on us. To decide for them. We can't let them down. Now you need to take a rest. You need to sleep. Because your patients need you tomorrow. To be there for them. To focus on their problems. To forget anything else but them and their problems" RK
Madhu nodded yes
"Go wash your face then sleep" RK
Madhu nodded yes. Then she looked at him with pleading eyes
"Will you stay with me till I sleep?" Madhu
"What?" RK didn't believe that she needs him to stay with her
"Please stay with me. I can't sleep alone tonight. If you just set beside me until I sleep" Madhu
"OK I'll stay" RK
She washed her face. Then she lied on her bed. RK sat beside her. Caressing her hair until she went in deep sleep. Then he left her to sleep in his room
