Something Called Love
Twenty Two
She somehow gathered courage to get up and ran to his car, to look for him. She continuously screamed his name and looked for him, she could not see anything in the burnt car, and the truck was about to blow up, she did not know that. She kept searching for him, it was more dangerous in there, as she came closer to the fire, but she could not think about herself anymore, all she was concerned about for maan. She cried helplessly and bitterly, and yelled his name but there was no answer, not even a single sign that he was there. And all of a sudden, outside the road, distant from the place of accident, she saw someone lying unconscious on the ground in pool of blood, she skipped few heartbeats, he recognized the cloths and he was none other than him - he was Maan.
He was bleeding extremely and injured ghastly, she ran to him but before she could ran there and touch him, and someone came from behind and covered her face with black thick cloth. Everything turned into black, she was suffocating, she tried to speak something but she could not. She fought with the stranger but she failed as what it seemed to her that it was very strong pair of arms of a body guard or of a man with good and well build physique. She felt that she was being taken to somewhere, she was on some car, she realized. She had no strength left in her to fight more. All she was thinking about maan, she was getting nervous by each passing second. She did not wanted to think negative about him or anything but in the present situation and in what condition he saw there, she could not help but howl and regret. He tried to save her and just one second passed and she lost him.

She could not see anything for a second when someone removed the black cloth. She found that she was at some place which was like an old warehouse of something; everything was old and looked like scrap. She was still searching for him, she looked everywhere for him and then she heard someone's footsteps coming from back and she saw him, few men were holding him, he was still unconscious and they were carrying him in there, she screamed and ran to him. They literally threw him on the floor, she was shocked to see him in the state; he was bleeding uncontrollably and breathing unevenly. She was scared - much scared at the first sight, looking blood all over. She immediately got up and sat beside him and took his injured head in her lap, she called his name and tried to wake him up but he was not responding to her. She covered his open wound to stop the bleeding but it was useless, in few seconds, her white sari turned into red one, painted by his blood.
'Maan…open your eyes… it's me …look at me…maan please…talk to me… maan…you don't get to die on me…maan…I… Please, open your eyes. Do you hear me?' she cried out loud, shivering.
She desperately tried to wake him up; she was shedding tears - unstoppable. It was like she was losing her own identity. She was trying hard to save him, to wake him up and when she heard another sound of footsteps, but it was different that time, as it was slow and perfect. She turned around to look who the person was, and she was frozen for a second when she saw her - Maya Gujaral.
She came with an evil smile on her face, wearing gloves and holding revolver in her hand. She bent over and touched her face and smiled.
'Let us go!' she screamed in anger.
'Go!' she said calmly.
'I don't mind, he is dying anyways.' She added.
'Please…please…let me go…he needs medication…he is bleeding too much…please let us go…he is hurt…he will die…please…' and she begged.
'Okay! I will make it easier for him. Here – 'and she pointed the gun to his head. And she got scared.
'NO! No…no…no…don't do this. Don't do this. What do you want? Don't kill him. Please…please…you kill me but don't do anything to him…' she cried loudly. The very lone thought of him dying in her own lap shook her from the core, she shivered. She covered him, literally hid him behind her weak and shaky hands to protect him from his mother.
'Oh my god! You are so much in love.' She smiled.
'Please let him go…please…'she begged again.
'Okay. On one condition…'
'I will do anything…just anything…whatever you will say…just let him go…' she cried as she ran fingers in his hair and covered his head with her sari. She looked at him, she checked his breathing, and it was low and breaking heavily then.
'Are you sure?'
'Yes. Let him go please…'
'Okay. Guards, take him to the hospital now. Fast.' She ordered and called someone.
'Hello? Maya here.'
'I want all the doctors to be there and book an ICU now. Do anything but save him and keep an eye on him.' she ordered someone on call.
She cut the call and looked her. He was taken to hospital immediately. She smiled looking at her going away with him.
'Where do you think you are going?' she asked.
'I have to go with him…I will be back soon once I am satisfied that he is okay.' She snapped back through tears.
'Okay. I will wait. And, anything suspicious you will try to do, so you must by now have got the idea that what can I do? Hospital staff and nurses are always in need of money. And above all, I'm Maya Gujaral, if they can arrange all this on my one call then they can do anything what I will order.' She smiled.
And she swiftly left from there with him.

She did not have to face more problems once she reached hospital, she got help immediately and doctors were also available and they quickly admitted him and started the procedure. By then she perfectly understood the power of that woman, because in a case like this, there was no police, no forms and nothing would need. Entire hospital staff was co-operating with her, as per the dean's command, she knew it was all her set up. She was terrified once but when she was sure that he is safe in that hospital, she went to check on him. She was not allowed to see him; she looked at him through the glass of operation theatre. By then, her tears were dried up and fresh stream of tears started to make their mark on her cheeks when she saw him lying on the operation table, fighting for his life, she felt more guilty, with the pain of guilt rising over her heart, she cried more and more. She forgot to inform anyone about their accident which was deliberately made and planned by his step mother. She was standing near the door, still shivering; looking at him and a nurse came and interrupted her thoughts.
'Ma'am…you are injured too. You also need dressing, come with me. I will help you.' She politely said.
'No. I'm fine thanks.'
'But ma'am…'
'I'm fine.' She said in stern voice.
She looked at her for split of second and left. As she saw the nurse was leaving from there, she suddenly felt excruciating pain in her abdomen; she clutched the pole of the door tightly. She closed her eyes in pain which she could not bear anymore, she screamed out loud in pain, clutching her stomach, and eventually she collapsed on the floor. All she could see was the blood in her hand, when she curled up on the floor. She screamed in pain, sadness and regret.

When she opened her eyes after fifty minutes, she found herself on the hospital bed, she got up slowly and saw the bandages on her head and hands, but it was not major injuries and suddenly she realized that she was no more pregnant, she just lost her - his baby. She knew it the minute when she was in pain, curled up on floor and she knew it that immediate moment that she lost it; it was just formality for doctors to inform her then. She did not even got chance to tell him that she was carrying his baby, before giving the news about his baby's origin; she had to put up with baby's death - his baby. She cried for sometime and then she remembered she was not alone there who was wounded. She was about to get up when the doctor came and asked her to sit as she wanted to talk with her.
'Geet, now you are okay. But I'm really very sorry to inform you that you will never be able to become mother in future. Your uterus is hostile and there may be future chances of serious infection or cervical cancer.'
She did not say anything; she just looked at the doctor blankly. She did not just lose the baby but she just lost her very last chance of becoming mother. She could not cry anymore, as she understood it was her punishment gifted by god. She got up and asked for him and she was informed that he was still in danger and there were less chances of him to recover. She was frozen, shocked at god, how cruel and brutal he can be. Suddenly she was determined, there was strange will power in her eyes, and she wiped her tears in anger and decided to confront his so called mother. She saw him for one last time lovingly before she went to meet maya gujral.
'What do you want from me?'
'You seem very weak.'
'What do you want from me?' she again asked in disgust.
'Well, geet by now you must understand the fact that you are nothing to me.'
'I know. That's why I asked. I'm useless to you.' she said angrily.
'It was all planned. It was not about that bloody business deal, you used me…You knew everything. I was just a pawn. It was never business…from very start you wanted to do this.' She said in disgust. She just realized that she was trapped by her very badly, from the very beginning.
'Oh…See? I was never wrong. You are smart, but you and as well as him, you both could not see it. Blind in love…It's not my fault, geet.' she smiled.
'You are useless for me, but not to him. He is in love with you, head over heals. How can I avoid it? When did you manage to win heart of this man? Okay, geet you know something? You are not the first one, I tried to bribe Lara, and you know her, right? She agreed but maan never fell for her, you know him, he prefers the best. It was after that I realized why I was looking outside when I had my triumph card as you. I could easily trap you, and you did. I know you love your father very much, don't you? And, I was more confident after I saw you with him in some party, dancing like one soul, enjoying on streets. I was right. You know geet, I never liked him. Do you know why? Because every time I see his face, I see my sick husband and his love, his betrayal to me. I hated this fact that he rejected me over that street girl and then, this boy…argh…I hate him more than anything else. It was mine; everything was mine, khurana home, khurana companies and my son, dev? What is his fault if his father made mistake and brought this random boy at home? He was elder than dev, and my intelligent hubby gave everything to him, to the random street boy…'
'…shut up. You are sick. Maya you are sick.'
'Oh…! Directly maya? You progressed.' She smiled.
'You don't deserve my respect at all.'
'What do you want me to do now?' she asked again.
'Well, you know I wanted to kill him so that dev would get everything and eventually to me, and in addition I will get mental peace, too. Profits! You see? Savtridevi still love dev. She is so sweet and kind woman. Even though I brought up dev with me, still she managed to attach with him and love him too. Dev is so innocent, he will never ask for anything, as the great Maan Singh Khurana loves him, I hate him when he treats my boy as younger brother, I hate him. So, I wanted to kill him but now that you saved him, I just want you to leave him.'
'What? It does not make any sense…'
'I can't grant easy punishment to him resembling death. I know he loves you and he will die everyday when you will leave him alone.'
'No….' she cried.
'So you want me to call my guards? You know, many time oxygen cylinders do not work properly in many hospitals and patient do die…'
'…no. I will. I will leave him. But I have only one last demand.'
'Oh…? Spit it out'
'I will leave him only after I will satisfy myself that he is well and fine. I want one month to be with him.'
'Ok. Here I call guards.' And she began to dial some number.
'Fifteen days…'
'Done. But after fifteen days you will leave him, this city. Your choice, go anywhere but not around him or you know me, this kind of accidents do happen in India every second and next time, you will not be there to save him.'
She did not say anything and she left from there with heavy heart. But when she was leaving, she stopped for a moment and turned around suddenly with strange determination in her eyes, she looked her and said,
'Do you know something Maya Gujaral? I also have step mother and I felt bad for myself that I have no mother who loves me and cares for me, but today I, no more feel bad because if a mother is like you then I would never ask for mother. And, another thing, first I was sad that you are not his mother but now I'm glad that you are not his mother. I'm so happy because he can never be like you, I'm glad that he is not your son; you don't deserve him at all. I'm very happy for him that you are not his mother; he was a fool to chase you, to beg you to accept him. In fact now you should ask him to accept you but he will not. And not your own son will accept you when he will find out your real face. You lived alone and you will die alone.' She said in one quick breath and spit there on her face and left with a small satisfied smile on her face.
Even when she was gone, she could not take this insult and screamed out loud, 'GET LOST!'
