chapter 1-who m i??
MAAN
do u know how it feels to smile wen u r abt 2 cry.
Do u know how it feels to hope wen u r abt 2 die.
I slowly opened my eyes wen a melodious tune beat my eardrums.my head was heavy.it felt as if i was carrying a gr8 boulder on my head.i tried 2 get up bt had 2 collapse again due 2 severe pain on my back nd legs.the sweet melodious voice continued to hum the tune.
dat is wat always happens 2 me.
I am captivated wen m abt to flee.
I can do nothing bt just wait nd see.
Each nd every word of dat song expressed gr8 misery nd sorrow.the words had pain in it and i cld feel it thru the voice.i closed my eyes drowning myself in the tune.
Do u know how it feels 2 break wen u r abt 2 join.
Do u know how its feels 2 loose wen u r abt 2 gain.
Dat is wat always happens 2 me.
Sadness hover around me,no moments of glee.
I can do nothing bt just wait nd see.
I cld hear the footsteps in the room next to me.dat voice travelled along with the steps.i slowly opened my eyes to look around the place i was in nd the 1st word dat came in my mind was 'gosh'.the room was very small wid one cupboard attached to the wall,one table wid a lamp in it,1 chair-a very old nd antiquated.heavy dark brown jute curtains hanged by the window.every thing in the room was old n every corner of the room reflected the simplicity.wel the room was nt dirty-i must say the person who maintained the house was a gem.the room was clean nd spotless bt the decoration was nt of my taste.i was nt able to leave dat house instantly as i was in severe pain.
Do u know how it feels to fall wen u r abt 2 rise.
Do u know how it feels 2 fail wen u r bold nd wise.
I closed my eyes nd concentrated on the song 2 distract myself 4rm the pain.
[I]dat is wat always happens 2 me.
Its me who sld go down the knee.
I can do nothing but just wait nd see.[/]
that was reli a sad song nd heart touching nd that voice cld even touch the soul.i felt som1 approaching me.
"r u awake?"
i heard the same voice calling me.i opened my eyes nd found a beautiful woman looking at me with concern filled hazel eyes.those eyes had depth in it nd suffering too.being a gud observer i cld read her eyes.
"ya i woke up just a while ago"
GEET
i sighed with relief.finally he was awake after 2 days of unconsciousness.his deep nd rich voice indicated dat he was a well-educated person nd da way he had dressed i cld tel he was a very rich person.
I saw him wincing in pain nd frowning nd closing his eyes wen the pain was more dan he cld hold.
"plz dnt try 2 get up,the more u move the more it'll hurt u.stay still."
"bt i need 2 go to bathroom."
i laughed at myself.how silly i was.of course he need 2 get up nd there was no way i cld help him.
"ok let me hold u..ya slowly..."
"ouch..."
"i told u...carefully,slowly ya...grab my hands.."
it felt so weird supporting him nd taking care of him.i had never taken care of any1 since i had lived alone as long as i know bt it felt gud 2 help som1 in need.
I helped him 2 climb on the bed.i pulled the pillow nd adjusted it such a way dat he cld support his back nd sit on the bed.it was time 4 me 2 change the cotton on his head nd clean the wound.
"let me clean ur wound".
MAAN
She helped me wid everything-walking,sitting.when i winced wid pain c went easy on the wound while dressing my head.i was damn hungry nd my stomach was growling.c heard it n smiled which reli embarrased me.
"sorry i 4got.u must be hungry na."
c entered the room wid a tray of food nd placed it infront of me.i looked at the food-a kind of soup,rice,roti n others i cldnt even identify.at first i hesitated to eat as i had never ever tasted dat kind of meal.since i didnt want 2 hurt her feelings i decided 2 giv it a try.i tried 2 eat bt my fractured hand didnt let me.i looked up at her.c understood my condition so c took a spoonful of soup n fed me.
"ummm...its delicious."
her rosy lips curled on a slight smile when c heard me saying it was delicious.i didnt say it just 2 flatter her.wat i said was true.it was indeed delicious.i finished all the food in the tray while c fed me patiently.
"thank u"
"my pleasure so u take rest now"
"ok Btw how come m here n wounded"
"ur car crashed infront of my house 2 days ago.u were unconscious 4 2 days."
"thanks a lot 4 saving me.u live alone here rt?wats ur name?"
"my name is geet handa.u can call me geet nd u?"
her question was an obvious one but dat left me in confusion.c asked me abt my identity bt i myself wasnt sure abt it.i tried hard 2 recall my name,my identity bt in vain.i knew my likes n dislikes,i cld recall dem bt nt my name,my home,my parents,my identity.i looked at her nd found her waiting 4 my answer bt i dropped my gaze in defeat nt being able 2 answer dat simple nd obvious question.
"i cant remember.who m i???"
