I woke up in a hospital, I found a nurse coming closer to me asking, How are you feeling now? I said, fine, who brought me here? She told me, a guy brought me here when I fell unconscious at the metro station and she has called on the last number on my cellphone which was of Mehr Di, and soon she will be here. I asked, okay but where is that guy? She responded, actually his grandmother has been admitted here,there was some emergency call,so he went up to there asking me to call someone from your family. I asked the nurse, where can I find him, so that I could thank him for bringing me here. She replied room no. 305,but before we can let you go just few questions, does it happens often, your unconscious? I replied, not exactly but I feel uncomfortable in crowds. She handing me a paper said that's okay, there's nothing to worry about,the doctor have written some medicine get them and take them when you feel the same.
I left the room to find that guy to thank him,meanwhile I saw my cellphone there were quite few missed calls from Mehr Di, she would have been tense, I called her immediately. Mehr Di, out of panic started throwing questions very fast, are you all right? What happened to you? I am on my way, stay there. I asked her to relax and calm down telling her I am fine Di. Don't come, and Don't tell maa about this, it's aadi's first day, you should go to pick him up from school,he will be very upset if you won't gonna show up there. I am leaving from hospital,will go to class and see you in evening,if anything urgent will call you surely, she argued and said I am coming,maa will pickup aadi.I made her feel assured, I am all good promise, I will take care of myself will text her all day and she should go back.Finally she agreed only if I text her all the updates about my whereabouts.
Soon I reached the room 305,that was emergency ward, I saw so many medical equipment attached to the patients and a hell lot of signals were passing on the monitoring screen,I stood at the gate seeing through the small window of the emergency ward.I saw a guy holding hand of patient and seating just beside,crying while kissing the hand.I felt sad for the moment, I didn't interrupted their moment,I kept watching them, there was something that made me stood,the grief,the love or might be the feeling of loosing someone whom you love.I was about to leave,the boy stood up might to have a glass of water and turned towards the main door.
It was surprising to see,but he was the same guy I met on the metro who seemed rude and very impolite but here when I saw him crying,it felt like he is kind,gentle and very sensitive.I thought, we should really not judge people so quickly,might be he was in hurry,it made me feel very small.I was about to enter and thank him,soon a team of nurses and doctor came in from another door.Thier was a kind of tension between their gestures of talking to the guy.
Soon I received a text from Mehr Di, where are you? It has been good day for aadi at school,he is waiting for you to come and tell you lots of stories.I had no choice but to leave.
In the evening,when I reached home, aadi was full of excitement telling me everything about the day, soon went to sleep while talking. I walked out of his room kissing his forehead.
Lost in my thoughts,I was looking at the sky through my room's window when Di came in and asked what happen? Are you alright? You seemed off.After a pause,I added to the void of our silence,there is something that is bothering me again and again.She handed me a mug of coffee saying tell me.I told her the story from metro to hospital and how I misunderstood that guy who was actually himself in grief.I am not feeling good about what he was going through and still offered me a helping hand though I was judgeding him in my mind for being rude and even I did not get chance to say thank you after all that.
Di asked me to relax and sip the coffee before it gets cold.See Dhwani,we tend to judge people by their actions until we get into their shoes and see their stories.It happens baby, then she broke into laugh saying anyhow you both are same in your side of stories,rude as you both didn't said thankyou to each other.I joined her in laugh, we both laughed for a while then I paused Di. Are you okay? Di smiled at me, yes I am fine,I have already learnt living without him like he had learnt years back,I feel sorry for aadi,he is being left out from fatherly love.I placed my hand on hers,di you are enough for him,you are his mother and father both,he is getting all the love and care he deserves after all he has best maasi and nani in the world.We giggled through silence of night.
Nice..keep going girl💥
