CHAPTER : 13 :
No matter how fast Uday drove- he could not stop the inevitable from happening. Virat had already died in Manyata's womb ... even before she woke up from her dream. Due to the excessive haemorrhaging - Manyata had lost consciousness in the car and Uday battled to carry her blood-drenched body into the hospital.
Uday had no choice, but to wait outside as the doctors wheeled Manyata into the theatre. It didn't take long before the bad news was delivered : I'm sorry ... we couldn't save your child. He was gone long before he got here. Uday felt like life was sucked out of him ... he couldn't move, nor say anything. He stood like a statue with hot tears falling from his eyes.
A loud buzzing from his cell - brought him back to reality. Hey Dada , it's me ... I'm here with Udita - she's still sleeping. Seemaji called and gave me your message. How's Bhabhi'sa? There was a long pause that followed as Unnati waited for Uday to reply her ... but he didn't! Uday was still in shock and couldn't bring himself to say anything. Dada - please say something ... your silence is scaring me!
How is Bhabhisa? And how's the Baby? What did the doctors say? Uday took a deep breath before blurting out: Virat is gone! Immediately, he switched off his phone and slowly slumped to the floor, burying his head between his knees ... crying for the child, he was so eager for.
Unnati still held onto the phone in her hand, as Uday's 3 words replayed continuously in her mind. When Seeemaji had phoned her at 1.30 in the morning - SHE NEVER EXPECTED THIS TO HAPPEN! She had prayed so hard for Manyata and Virat to be fine ... but never thought that her prayer, would be unanswered. Now ; she had the difficult task of delivering the bad news to DS and the rest of the family.
Having someone call your house at 2.30 in the morning - can only be BAD NEWS! So, it was no surprise to DS, when Unnati told of the sad news. At once - all gathered to be with Manyata at the hospital, in her time of need.
Giriraj had just come back from his 2 week stay in London, and was fast asleep, when the devastating news was delivered to him. He too , as the others - decided to be at the hospital ... comforting the grieving parents.
No-one was allowed to see Manyata though; as she was still sedated. And the person that would've been allowed ... well , he was not around! Uday was missing from the scene. He was at a place; where nobody would've thought to look. Uday stood outside of the giant-glass-window, of the nursery at the hospital. He was watching the new-born babies ... some were sleeping, whilst others were looking straight back at him. If it weren't for their pink and blue blankets ... no-one could tell the difference between girl and boy; as all the new-borns looked identical to 1 another.
1 particular baby, caught Uday's attention. It was a little boy ... maybe a few days old - with bright eyes and a tiny button nose; giving Uday the widest open-mouth smile. Uday too , smiled back and waved from the glass window. A nurse from inside the nursery opened the door and asked Uday, if he was the father of the Baby-Boy. Uday shook his head and walked away, as he felt the tears brimming in his eyes once more: That could've been Virat. DAMN YOU MANYATA! , he banged his fist into the brick wall, bruising his knuckles. Briskly, he walked out of the hospital ... walking to wherever his legs would take him.
****************************************************
Aap log andar jaa sakte ... she's just regained consciousness , a nurse informed the family and all rushed in at once. Where's my Baby? Where - where's my Son? I want to know, why aren't u saying anything? , Manyata was getting hysterical in the ward and demanded answers from the nurse that was on duty. She got out of her cot, but the severe pain in her abdomen didn't allow her to go far. Komal and Jai helped her get back into bed as she cried , frantically searching for Virat ... who, according to her, should've been in a cot next to her. They've done something to my Baby , Maa , Manyata wept on Komal's shoulder.
Beta, Virat is no more , you had a miscarriage , DS explained as gently as possible. NO! NO! You'll are lying. Virat was fine ... he was kicking me, I felt him. Ya , I -I - I know where he is , he was born prematurely na ... he must be in the incubator. I want to see him ... take me to him. DS held Manyata's hand in hers and shook her head : Beta , who ab iss duniya mein nahi rahe.
I don't believe you! , Manyata screamed. She scanned the room ... 1 person was not there. Uday? Where's Uday? Is Virat with him? Brijraj, Giriraj , Komal, Jaggat and Jai - all started crying, seeing Manyata's condition. Immediately a doctor was summoned and he administered a tranquiliser to calm Manyata ... putting her back off to sleep again.
Uncle Giri ... where's Jijusa? He should be here with Jiji , Jai questioned. I don't know Beta ... maybe he's at home with the baby. He took out his phone, but Jai offered to go there personally. But only Unnati and Udita were there! I think I might know where Dada is ... Unnati went off , and Jai took Udita with her.
**********************************************
Unnati's guess was spot-on ... Uday was sitting on the beach-sand, watching the day break. The sun was slowly showing itself from behind the clouds, giving a clear view of Uday's tear-stained face. He had a stone, tightly clasped in his fist ... with the jagged edge of it , tearing into his epidermis. Uday was in a trance and couldn't feel the pain, he was inflicting on himself. Unnati forcibly removed it from his palm and embraced him, but he remained motionless.
Don't cry Chotti , he's in a better place ... I think! , his voice was hardly audible. Dada - I'm so sorry for your loss , Unnati sobbed ... but you can't fall apart like this! YOU need to be the strong one ... you need to be strong for Bhabhisa! Hearing about Manyata ... reignited Uday's anger : DON'T-TALK-TO-ME-ABOUT-MANYATA! Dada - u need to be with her. She's not doing well at all. She doesn't want to believe Virat is dead. You need to be with her ... she needs you! You both need each other!
Where's my daughter? , Uday interrupted Unnati. Jai took her to the hospital. Uday held out his hand for Unnati : ... give me your car-keys. Why Dada - where are u going? I'll drive you , Unnati offered after seeing Uday's state ... but 1 look from Uday; and the next thing both were in the car on the way to the hospital, with Uday driving!
********************************************
Money means EVERYTHING , and when money is involved, TIME does not matter! So what if it was 5.30 in the morning ... someone wanted his money - and TO HELL WITH WHAT TIME IT WAS, AND WHAT PLACE IT WAS! Stanley Phillips was creating a ruckus in the foyer of the hospital , just outside Manyata's room. He waved the property papers, which Manyata gave him ; in DS's face ... This is of no use to me. It's frozen ... I can't get me hands on it! I want my money NOW or hand over Devgarh! , he was becoming aggressive. Today is the 25th of September , he reminded them that the 25th was the D-Day. You'll have till tonight! , he flung the papers onto DS's face.
Uday grabbed his arm from behind and swung him around to face him. Oh Yuvraaj ... I came for my ... "POW" - Uday's right fist met the left side of Stanley's jaw. Blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth, as Uday had finally found an outlet for his pent-up anger & frustration. Next , Uday held onto Stanley's collar ... then head-bumped him. Do what u want Yuvraaj ... but, by the end of the day - I'll be the new King of Devgarh, Stanley mocked. As he was in the slumped position, Uday kneed him in the chest ... making him spray blood on the wall.
Jai tried to block Udita witnessing such violence, but the baby twisted her body and strained her neck, trying to get a better view of the action. Paapa! , she called out for Uday ... but he didn't hear her as he was too busy "killing" Stanley Phillips.
Giriraj pulled Uday away : Are u crazy Uday? Are u planning to kill him? Stanley held his stomach and got into an upright position ... I'll be reporting this Yuvraaj ... and you'll be charged with attempted murder! I have plenty of witnesses , he said with a smirk. True enough , there were plenty witnesses ... nurses, doctors and patients had come to see what the noise was all about, and got an action sequence in full go, to view.
A kick in the knee was all it took to bring Stanley, down to Uday's feet. Stanley Phillips - forget about your $25m ... and forget about claiming Devgarh! You see ... I know a secret about you! A secret which I'm dying to tell the higher authorities. Stanley looked lost, so Uday continued : When u suddenly emigrated to Australia ... I figured there had to be some huge reason, for your decision ... and I was RIGHT! It seems u owe 30million Euros to the British Government in unpaid taxes ... that's why you ran off and settled down in Australia. You are a WANTED MAN , Mr Phillips!
Stanley gulped down at the lump in his throat, whilst his eyes moved from side-to-side ... as he wondered what to say next. OK - let's keep this simple ... you will NOT be getting $25m; you will NOT be getting Devgarh ; you will NOT be reporting ME to the police ... but what u will be getting is ; Uday abandoned his sentence mid-way as he straightened Stanley's ruffled-up collar ... making Stanley figure out for himself, what Uday wanted. You'll never see or hear from me, EVER AGAIN Yuvraaj - just please , don't report me, Stanley pleaded. Good boy!, Uday patted his cheek ... NOW GET OUT ... I'm tired seeing your face , Uday threw him out.
Goo-boy Paapa! , Udita praised as the rest of the Devgarh Royals applauded Uday, for what he just did. Thank you Beta , DS joined her hands in appreciation.
Sweety-Pie ... isn't it your sleeping time? , Uday asked his daughter as he took her in his arms. Mamma! Oh , u came to see Mamma? She nodded : Mamma seeping ... Mamma sick, sick, sick! Yes Baby ... that's why we'll be leaving Mamma here, so she can get better fast ... Uday started walking towards the exit. Beta ; Komal called to Uday ... Manyata? , she looked towards Manyata's room, gesturing for Uday to go inside. Komal Aunty ... it's best for Manyata AND FOR ME - if I don't go inside that room! , Uday continued walking away, with Udita re-enacting all the blows that Uday had dished out to Stanley Phillips : Doof , Doof , she kept saying each time, she punched her tiny fist into the air.
********************************************************************
Manyata stared at the white ceiling of the hospital as she tried to recall what happened to her ... she was dreaming of Virat >>> both of them were at the park, playing on the swings >>> Vasundra appeared ... told her something, then took Virat away with her >>> Manyata woke up with a piercing pain in her abdomen >>> with 1 hand on her stomach and 1 hand holding the wall for guidance - she walked to Udita's room and woke Uday >>> both started panicking seeing blood-drops, where Manyata was standing >>> Uday drove like a maniac trying to get Manyata to the hospital before anything bad happened >>> then BLANK!
She couldn't remember anything more, because she had passed out ... and when she came to; she was told of a miscarriage. It had to be true; as there was no need for anyone to lie! Manyata started crying as reality sunk in - HER BELOVED SON IS GONE! Uday wasn't around ... he never came to her ... 'he blamed her' - she concluded ... and ACCEPTED it TOO! This is my fault - I'm sorry ... I'm so sorry. I'm sorry Virat ... I'm sorry Uday! I'm so, so, so very ... sor-sorry!
***************************************************************
"BOOM", "BANG" , "CLANK" , were sounds coming from Virat's room. Uday had bought a pair of baseball-bats ... 1 for himself and 1 for Virat; for them to 1 day play together. However; now the bat was being used to destroy everything that was intended for the little boy. IF there's NO SON - THEN there's NO NEED for ALL THIS! , Uday reasoned. The rocking-horse had its springs damaged ... the chess-set, made out of glass - was in a million pieces on the floor ... the tricycle had only 1 wheel intact, as the other 2 wheels rolled somewhere under the bed ... the dart-board was shredded ... the remote-controlled helicopter - WOULD NEVER FLY AGAIN and the toy-train , WAS DERAILED! Everything , in that room was BROKEN ... so was the father! Uday sat on the floor , with the bat still in his hand ... staring at the mess with his reddened eyes : IT'S OVER Manyata!
