Part 92
She pauses for a long moment to let him elaborate or vent ifhe wants to
She doesn’t want to push him
As he doesn’t say anything; she raises her fingers to lightly touch the screen as of lightly touching him to give him silent assurance
He also raises his fingers to touch where Geet is touching on the screen
M- Thanks
Geet smiles
G- Well...I am your girlfriend…That's kind of my job
Tabhi bahar kuch girne ki awaaz aati hai
Maan jumps out of the room
Mom is frantically searching something in the living room
The room was in a mess as if a tornado has been through it
M-Mom! Mom!
He squares his mother’s shoulders
Mom-where are the car keys?
M-Mom, calm down
Mom- Where are the car keys!!!
She yells
Mom-Mujhe yahan ek second bhi nahi rukna!!!
M-Mom, calm down. Main apko subah le jaunga aap jahan kahoge
Mom- Mujhe tumhari shakal bhi nahi dekhni!!! I wish you were never born! Sam ki jagah uss din tum kyun nahi marr gaye!
Maan is numb hearing her words
He slowly lets her go
Mom-If your own mother couldn’t love you, do you think that outsider…that girl will love you?
She goes into her room pushing Maan away and locks herself
Maan is devastated
Mom’s words are echoing in his ears
Geet has pinged him several times inquiring what has happened
But he is not in state of mind to speak to anyone
He lays on the bed curled up like a fetus, hugging his knees to his chest
++++++
Maan ki achanak aankh khulti hai
He didn’t realize he had fallen asleep
It’s almost morning
He walks to his mom’s room to check on her
The door is locked
He knocks but phir bhi koi response nahi
He is worried
He bands on the door repeatedly but in vain
His getting more and more worried with every passing second
Finally, he decides to break the door
With all his might he breaks the door and barges in
He finds laying on the bed, with a bottle of empty bottle of sleeping pills laying near her
+++++++
Maan rushes his mother to the hospital
Doctors say that her situation is critical and admit her into ICU
The doctors have put oxygen cylinders and attached life support into his mom
Maan is observing silently and helplessly from outside
His sense of sanity and hope losing with every passing second
