CHAPTER 3: OUR FIRST UNDERSTANDING

Continue.........

Many among the crowd, panicked .
But no one called an ambulance.

The girl was feeling very guilty of herself. She cried, little because of Soham, more because she feared.....she feared if ...... if....if Soham died!

She took her mobile phone out, and dialled the ambulance number.

She yelled and said," Please come near the drinks shop, on the main road. There's an accident case. Come as soon as possible!!"

Few minutes later, the siren was heard.....
To the girl, the siren seemed like the siren of hope..... Hope to get Soham cured....to save him......to not get blamed for Soham's .......

let it be. ... won't say that word more.....

pray for his get well soon.... that's all the girl wanted to and was left to do.....

Soham was taken into the OT.

The girl sat outside, with some amount of hope in some corner of her heart, that Soham was okay and he'll be out soon.

She remained seated.... and kept thinking to herself......'First time in my life.....for the very first time.....I faced such a situation.
For the first time, I was so subconscious minded while driving, that , today a life was about to end.....for me....... only for me!"

She felt very much guilty!!

Few hours later, she was called to the doctor's cabin.
She went to the doctor's cabin, with a hope, that she'd get good news ...

The doctor said," He's okay. No worries now. Just......."

Before he completed, the girl cut in between," just what? please continue, doctor ...."

"Please be calm. Let me say. "
And he continued," Just, his limbs...I mean, the left leg and left hand, are quite injured..... gravely. He's got a slight fracture in his left knee. He may have to stay bedridden for about two months. And his left arm, bruised and a deep cut. Those have been stitched. But, he needs to be 24/7 cared for. Does he have someone who will always be with him, will care for him, and not let him down. Is anyone such there?"

The girl recalled Soham's words, he told her, the day they bumped into eachother.

"No." She replied in a sad undertone.

"What!" exclaimed the doctor.
"He won't get well soon then. Doesn't he have a family?"

"No. He doesn't. His family left him. Long back."she replied.

"Oh ! really sorry for the poor soul! Then I don't think he'll get well soon. He'll suffer the pain, live in pain, live with pain, for quite a long time...!"

"I...I understand, Doctor. I understand...."
she replied.

Few hours later, after a long time awaited, she was allowed to meet Soham.

Soham was laying on the bed, unconscious, head bandaged, an arm bandaged, a leg plastered.

The girl went and sat down on the tool beside Soham's bed.

She felt inside her, a liking for Soham. She felt, she had liked him......

But she didn't think of all that much.
