Part 34 : Husband?
"I see that you are grown up Suraj!" the old lady cried as tears made their ways "I thought my Suraj was a kid who will tell me everything" as her steps neared the young in sorrow "But you hid everything! You hid Bhaiya's" and words choked in her throat as her hands flew to his collar and losing her balance.
"Your happiness is all I could see at that moment!" he said as he held her on the floor, kneeling down.
"You mean to say I'm no one to this family!" as silent tears increased their effective.
"It was not to hurt you!" hugging her "I'm sorry! Beat me!" taking her hand to beat himself "You are my everything! You are the person I missed the most!" and his words started to deform in his throat as tears formed in his eyes.
"You shouldn't cry!" pushing his tears with her saree "I'm here! Don't worry! Bhaisab is here also! With us! In our heart! Be strong!" she hugged him. "Where is Chakor?" and to this question, his reaction made her suspect more, his grip on her tightened as tears wet her shoulder.
Pushing back from him "What happened to her?"
"Hospital!" is all he said in a whisper.
As flashes of the event came back in front of his eyes.
***** ONE WEEK BEFORE *****
"Maaa!" the cry echoed in the dense road and silence prevailed.
"Chakor!" he slowly opened his eyes as he saw her near the tree and not on her seat.
Opening fully his eyes, taking a sip of water and pouring a little on his head, he neared her to check on her with panic struck face. She is breathing and that made him heave a breath. Splashing water, shaking her, calling her name, nothing worked. Strange fear griped his heart as he pulled her in his arms and took her to the jeep. With all the strength he had, he pushed the tree to a side and as he started his vehicle and moved, the tree fell down.
"She is having head injuries and it seems she is going into coma!"
"Nurse clean her back head!"
"The man who came with her is her husband, right?"
"Ask him to sign the informative document and all the needed papers to execute the needed surgery!"
"We need to cut her hair!"
One by one the analysis started and the movement around Suraj changed.
"We need your signature sir!" and without looking at what mentioned he signed. "Your wife will be going blade as back head is injured."
"Wife?"
"Yes sir! Your wife! Chakor Rajvanshi!" checking the papers "You are her husband right? We need related person's signature!"
As thoughts clouded his mind, he nodded his head to get the needed actions to be done, get her safe.
"We will inform you about every procedures soon."
And for the first time in his life, he felt like everything stopped around him! Even his breath.
Losing his father was the first misery!
And to that Chakor being in this state!
Everything toll on him as eh loosed his balance and fall near the bench as tears flew down.
Minutes and hours passed slowly and even terribly for him before the doctors came out of the operation room.
"We succeeded to stop the bleeding and the healing treatment is given. But" Doctor continued "Sorry to say, your wife is in coma! And we think she has partial memory loss due to the shock and the impact!"
And his whole world paralyzed.
***** NOW *****
"It's been one week! And you are telling me now only!" she held his collar once again as the tears flew down. "How is she?" getting up "I want to see her!"
"She is still in coma!" he said "Doctor said she can get well anytime!"
"I want to see her!"
He nodded his head as an obedient child.
"Did you inform Imli and Vivaan know?"
He shook his head negatively.
"Imli should know about her sister!"
"Chakor wanted her sister to finish her studies!" shaking his head negatively as they neared the hospital.
"You should have told her! She is her sister! She has the rights to know!"
"They will collapse knowing it!" sadness coted voice "She wanted her sister to be happy! And that is what"
"No dear! We need to tell!"
"Once she is out of coma?"
"We don't know when"
"Soon!" he answered even before she finished her question with hope that everything will get well soon.
"Chakor dear! Open your eyes!"
"See who is here?"
"Your Girija mausi is here!"
"Open your eyes dear and smile at me!"
"Chakor dear!" and the old lady kept on repeating until her strong voice tone turned to weak and eyes became moisturized.
"She will call you mausi soon!" Suraj consoled side hugging her.
Nodding her head, weeping her eyes out, they exited the room.
Days passed and Chakor health became more stable except the fact she is still in coma.
The only family tried to talk to her even in her unconscious state but nothing worked until today.
"You wife has gained consciousness!" a nurse informed.
"I will be there in minutes!" and both her family members rushed to the hospital to hear "Sorry sir! You wife went back to coma. Don't lose hope! We are sure she will get her full consciousness anytime now!"
He smiled at doctors but it was to his fate while the old lady along him had questions.
"And one more thing! When we asked what she remembered the last, she said she went to buy a gift for her sister's 19th birthday and was hit by a scotty!" taking a break "As she saw the date on the calendar, I think her mind got preoccupied by that piece of information that was not easy to accept! Which took her back to this state!"
"She forgot us?" Girija started to weep.
Holding his love in his hand "What will be her state when she comes to know about thr truths?" as he started to think about the lie he is living with since the day she is here.
"We have to wait for it Mr. Suraj! There are possibilities that she gains her memories and there are possibilities for her to get back with the last piece of information. Anything is possible! Let's hope for the best!" as a reply, he simply nodded.
"I will stay here! You go and take rest! I will call a taxi for you!"
"I'm staying with you!"
"But"
"Before that, tell me!" she said as there are outside Chakor's room since hours "Why they said she is your wife?"
"I... I had to!" he said as he got up and turned his face "For her operation!"
'Wish it was true!' his heart and mind cried together!
"I happy that you handled the situation dear!" she got up. "All will be alright soon!" she prayed as she neared the Ganesh idol in the entrance of the hospital.
Time tickled and morning rays woke the two souls outside the hospital room with a good news.
"We need to check her before we let you meet her." Doctor informed as they entered the room.
Minutes passed and they came out "She has memory loss! Don't worry she can get it back any time! She is getting her dressing! Then you can go!" he smiled giving life to Suraj and Girija "Remember, no shocking news! Her mind is stressed and she needs a pleasant environment."
"Sure Doctor! Thank you so much!" he shook Doctor's hand with smile but then it turned to a straight line.
"She will be alright son!"
"Hmmm" he nodded.
"Please don't move child!" The nurse who was inside the room told her as she saw her move.
"Hospital?" words flew out of her mouth.
"You are here since 2 weeks dear!"
"2 weeks? What date?"
"It's your husband who took good care of you! You are really lucky! He is so in love with you." she said.
"Hus...Husband!" as she checked around her to find the calendar she last saw but it was nowhere in her view and along with it, she searched for her sister and the person who is called to be her husband.
