New MG FF-Aaiynaa.. LINK to THREAD 2 - Page 45

Maan was gob smacked… He tried very hard but he was unable to join the dots… Obviously the girl wasn't married… And above all this was not America, it was India and such situations were very uncommon in here… And from what all he had gathered in the previous two meetings with that girl, she didn't seem that type at all…

"Sir… Sir???"

Maan returned back from his thoughts realizing that the detective was still on the call…

"Umm…. Uhh… Yeah…"

"Sir… Ek aur baat hai… Like you said, she is a college going student…"

"Hell… Yeh toh main ne realize hi nahi kiya… Then how the hell is she managing a kid?? Maybe her parents or her boyfriend???" Maan thought, feeling a tad bit uneasy about the boyfriend bit…

"… So we checked up in her college records and they have absolutely no record about her parents or any type of a family background…"

"WHATT??? But how is it possible??? I mean anything about her boyfriend or the father of the baby???"

"No sir… From whatever we found out about this girl… She has a very clean character… No boyfriends… In fact there are no guys in her life except her own son… and apparently unki zindagi mein kabhi koi ladka kabhi tha bhi nahi…"

"Kya bakwaas investigation ki hai tum ne… She has a baby aur tum keh rahe ho ki there is no guy in her life???"

"Jee sir… Humne Samrat ke hospital records bhi check kiye thhe ki kuchh clue mil sake…"

"Finally…. Something intelligent on your part… So kya pata chala??"

"Hospital records ke mutabik, Mother's name is Miss. Geet and Father's Name…"

"Miss??? Aur koi surname bhi nahi hai… Matlab am obviously correct about her marital status… Hmm So who is the Father??"

"Father's name also says Miss. Geet…"

"Why am I not surprised… Mujhe laga tha aisa hi kuchh hoga… Anyway any other information???"

"No sir…"

"Okay… Last thing… Mujhe yeh batao ki uss bachche… Samrat ko hua kya hai??? Wo hospital mein kyun hai?? And most importantly what's his age????"

"Samrat do saal ka hone walaa hai aur ko Acute lymphoblastic leukemia hai…"

"What?? Matlab Cancer???"

Maan had done a little research work for his cousin who was doing medical, so he had a vague idea about the medical terms….

"Jee sir…"

"Theek hai… call me if you get more information… specially all information related to Samrat's birth…"

As Maan disconnected the call, he felt a strange kind of heaviness in his heart… his heart went out to that baby… And above all Geet… he could understand the pain any parent could feel seeing their baby, their flesh and bone, suffering and struggling for life in front of their eyes…

"Pata nahi uss ladki ki zindagi mein already kitni mushkilein hain… Aur main uski takleefein aur badha raha tha…. Parr abb nahi… Kya naam tha uss hospital ka?? Haan yaad aaya…City Hospita… Let me pay a visit to this Samrat… Pata nahi kyon sirf uska naam sunn kar hi mujhe kuchh ajeeb sa feel ho raha hai… jaise ki woh mujhe apni taraf kheench raha ho…"

Maan reversed his car and started his journey towards the hospital having some weird feelings, lest did he know that this one meeting with that kid will change the whole course of his life…

CITY HOSPITAL

Maan halted at the reception to enquire about Samrat's room… But all he was awarded with was the drooling receptionist…

"Excuse Me…"

"Hey handsome…"

Maan gritted his teeth… He hated females due to these certain overly hormonal species… who behaved less like humans and more like salivating puppies… always drooling as if he was a juicy bone… He somehow controlled his anger and asked as politely as possible to avoid any kind of unnecessary attention… he had already been a hot topic in Media a few days back and he didn't want a repeat telecast…

"Can you tell me the room number of a patient admitted here… A 2 year old kid his name is Samrat…"

To Maan's utter amazement, the expressions of the receptionist changed drastically after he uttered the patient's name…

"Aapko Sam se kyun milna hai??"

She asked rather sternly…

"Umm… Maine jitna puchha hai agar aap utna bata dein toh yeh aapka aur mera dono ka time save karega…"

"NO… Aapko pehle batana hoga ki aap Sam ko kaise jaante hain???"

Maan was taken aback to see the over protectiveness of a mere receptionist over this kid… he decided to try a different tactic as he knew it was utterly useless to ask her anything directly about Samrat from her…

"Fine… toh kya aap mujhe uss doctor ka naam bata sakti hain who is treating Samrat… I hope uss se toh aapko koi problem nahi honi chaiyeh…" He asked sarcastically…

The receptionist looked at Maan once and sighed… He looked like a reasonably decent fellow so she nodded and decided to give him this piece of information..

"Dr. Yash Malhotra…"

"Ohh… You mean Dr. Yash who is a Cancer speacialist??"

"Yes.."

"But he resides in USA na???"

"Yes… But he is here in India right now…" The nurse was still a little suspicious about this guy's intention… Agreed he was handsome… Scratch that he was gorgeous… But still she trusted no one in case of Sam… But she shrugged her doubts seeing that he actually seemed to know Dr. Yash…

"Fine… thank you…"

Maan was overjoyed… the world is so small… Yash was actually his cousin, the same one for whom he did the research work… Now he could get all the information he wanted… he took out his mobile while walking in the corridor, when he dashed with something or rather someone…

He looked down and noticed a boy who had fallen on the floor… Though he seemed barely 2 years old he was shooting daggers at him… Maan was amused… He bent down to help the boy…

"Oye… muhe kihi ki hepp nhi chiye…"

Ruchs translation mode 🤓– "Oye… Mujhe kissi ki help nahi chaiyeh…"

Saying that he got up on his own and rubbed the bruise that was slowly forming on his knee…

"Wow… what a brave kid… Chot lagne ke baad bhi he didn't cry at all… But attitude toh dekho… Par mujhe aisa kyun lag raha hai ki he resembles someone…" Maan thought…

"Umm aapko zyada zor se toh nahi lagi beta???"

"mele ko beta shilff mamma botii hein…"

"Aapko beta sirf mamma bolti hain???"

Samrat nodded while Maan was surprised with himself… he had never been with a kid before still he was able to understand Samrat's baby language perfectly….

"Achchha toh mujhe aisa kya karna hoga ki main aapko beta bol sakoon??"Maan had by now bent down on his knees to level up with Samrat…

Samrat though very seriously then finally exclaimed with excitement…

"Alle pelle aap anna ame to batao…"

Ruchs translation mode-🤓 "Arrey pehle aap apna name to batao…"

"Ame??? Ohh… Name… Hi… My name is Maan Singh Khurana…" Maan intoduced himself proudly while forwarding his hand to Samrat…

"Mella ame Sam…" He gave his tiny hand in Maan's gigantic one with double the arrogance Maan could ever offer…

"SAMRAT???" Maan asked astonished that the boy he wanted to meet so desperately was standing in front of him… Now everything made sense… Why Samrat looked familiar to him… And above all from where had he inherited all his arrogance from…

"Oye… Samlat nahi Sam…" Sam said angrily…

"Samrat…"

Oops ho gayi gadbad…. One glare from the angry young man… umm kid was enough to make Maan realize his mistake…

"Ohh… Sorry sorry… Sam… Aapka poora naam kya hai??"

"Huh.. Mein koon bataoo?? Aap toh meele flend bhi nhi ho…" Sam said pouting cutely…

Ruchs translation mode- 🤓"Huh.. Main kyon bataaoon?? Aap toh mere friend bhi nahi ho…"

"Awww… This boy is so adorable… I can't stop myself from loving him…"Maan thought admiring the little boy, shuddering at the possibility that this little baby was suffering from such a life threatening disease…. How could god be so cruel???

"Toh kya aap mujhse friendship karoge???"

Poor Maan… Bechare uss ko kya pata tha ki this is Samrat… oops… Sam… Agar Geet ne uska woh haal kiya tha toh abb yaha toh…..

After all if Geet is SHER… Then Sam is SAVA SHER!!!!
