Toward right path
Ankit started reading newspaper. Soon he sensed that those news were managing to make him more upset. He looked at his legs. He had perfect life but then one day he had that road accident. It was horrible. But he still didn't remember much of it. He just remembered one thing that he woke up in hospital and his leg seem like something made out of wood. He just couldn't able to move it. He felt so upset but then he started to remind himself things which used to do before. He suddenly began to feel blank. He started to sense he didn't remember any thing much. Then Doctor told him to relax. He was given some medicine to sleep. When he woke up, he began to remember every thing step by step. But he didn't remember any thing about that accident. He decided that he could just forget it. After all it was normal accident. It was not any thing important involved so he could totally forget it. He didn't thought about it much. But he kept remembering how he used to enjoy running walking. Now whenever he looked at himself he always saw a fat man. He was never going to lose that weight now. He couldn't move to reduce but he could go on diet. He just didn't want to eat any more. He just started to feel that it was so hard. Every day his wife brought something good for him. She hoped that it would cheer him up. He had to spend entire day with one boy who took care of him. He did whatever he told. But he never showed any respect towards him. That boy, Raju always gave him that angry look when he told him to do some work. It was clear that he never wanted to work for him. He was doing it since he needed money to buy new house but what he was getting was not enough. He hated this work but he had to do it for money. He always kept showing it on face every day. It was not easy for Ankit to accept it on each day. Ankit needed to get some respect. He didn't seem to have any value in house. He felt just useless. He began to feel so unhappy. He knew that he had to find some work for him. He kept thinking about job which he could do. He kept counting them. But whenever he started to do some job, he began to remember those days when he could do job on his own. He could do his work as he wish. But now for every thing he needed a help. He could move with wheel chair but then he just crashed it on many times. He needed lots of practice to learn it. He began to learn it step by step. But he was frustrated. He wanted to do everything with his own legs. But he never managed to do anything as per his thought. He just kept getting angry on every point. His wife kept feeding him food. They didn't have kids. Now they didn't want to have any more. He was enough burden on family. His wife didn't want more burden. Her salary was not that high. So she managed their entire life on that point. Ankit knew that his wife Kiran wanted kids before his accident. They were even planning every thing but now she suddenly began to say she never wanted kids. He knew that she was lying. But then he sensed one thing. It was totally useless to find truth. He knew that they had to move ahead without adding any burden. He just wished sometimes only if he was dead. He was counting his days with one hope that one day it all would become over. With view to reduce this depression Kiran always gave him best meal. She woke up really in morning and cooked food for him. She tried her best to hide her frustration. But he could see it clearly in her eyes. She wanted to live normal life. Many time he felt so scared by one thought that what if Kiran decided to left him and found some nice husband. No one could say that it was her mistake. She needed her life too. But then she always came coming back to him with same smile and said " I love you." He just smiled and nodded. He never dared to question her love. He needed her. But still he began to doubt sometimes how long could this survive. He was getting frustrated again so he started to move his wheel chair with hope to learn it. It was like learning to drive car again. It was hard but he needed to do it to survive. He started to try it again.
Kiran was working so hard to complete her project. She needed more money now. She wanted Ankit to become fine. Their life was so good before that accident. She still remembered every day. It was just wonderful. She wanted it to become normal again. Ankit was not normal now. He acted strange way. Every day he started to create new drama. He kept saying that she didn't want to stay with him but still she was staying and he was so thankful for that. But she never did anything for sake for charity. She still loved her husband. She was sure that one day every thing would become fine. She knew that they needed to try more. She knew that they needed a nice Doctor who could help them to make their life normal. They needed to find a Doctor. Kiran was convinced that if they kept trying then they would find a way. But he didn't understand. Ankit just kept crying every day for his sorrows. It was so strange. He never wanted to try walking. Kiran decided that she would try every thing by herself if he was not ready. She wanted him to walk. She decided that today she would go early from job and meet Doctor. She knew for that she had to work fast. She needed to concentrate on work. She started doing her work. She was so happy. She began to feel hope again. She went in Boss's cabin with her work. She just hoped from heart that he would like it. Her Boss didn't give her smile when she entered in room. She sensed that her Boss was already upset about something. Boss " What is it? " " Sir I have completed work." " So early? Are you sure it is alright?" " Yes sir. You can check it. Actually I want to.." " Go home? I know this. I always have to deal with employee same way. Every one wanted to go home. But no one can go home without 5 o'clock. You need to understand. I am paying you not because I wanted you to do your household work. I wanted you to do my work so you need to forget your family during it." Kiran nodded. Kiran went back on her desk. Soon her Boss send new files for her. She needed to work hard on files. She needed to work for that time. She knew that she couldn't give excuse. She started working again. She decided to go slow now. She kept looking at timing. It was worst day for her. She had to work but it was not easy for her. She needed to go to Doctor on appointment too. Finally time came to go home. She was first to ran out of office. She didn't care who was calling her from behind. She knew that her friends might wanted to talk her but she just ran ahead. She didn't stop running until she didn't reach to Doctor's clinic. She took breathe of relief when she reached there just on time. Receptionist was just calling her number and name. She ran and told her that she was there. When she entered in room, Doctor looked at her doubtfully. Doctor " What's wrong with you? You are walking fine." " No..no Doctor I am fine. I want to show my husband's reports." Doctor started to look upset " But where is my patient?" "Actually I want to ask you first regarding solution." " So if I say yes to you then you will bring your husband? Are you mad? I need to see patient too. You live here in this city still you are not ready to bring him?" She started crying slowly. " I wanted to bring him. But he was not ready. He was so nervous.." " Okay okay no need to cry. Let me see report." Doctor studied them. Doctor " We need to do some surgeries then he could walk. But I need to see him personally." " Will you come my home?" "Sure but you have to pay extra fee for home visit." " Fine." Then Kiran settled it. She was so happy. She was finally getting to some point. She reached home. She was so happy. She told every thing to Ankit but she was shocked when he didn't look happy. Ankit " I am ready for check up but I want to wait for sometime before operation. " " I know. We need to prepare for money and every thing. But don't worry. I will managed." She was so happy. She thought that she could even sold every thing that she had to get money for that operation. She was just going to do it. She didn't even waited for Ankit's answer. She felt so sure that he wanted it. After all he wanted to walk again, she couldn't think that he might didn't want so she ran away in her thoughts again. She wanted to arrange finances. Ankit kept watching her excitement. He was so confused. Even that boy who worked for him looked happy. He might had lost his job but still he hated that job. He wanted new work. Boy " Great sir so soon you will start walking." Ankit just nodded. He felt that this boy didn't mind even if he died. But he wanted to stay alive. He decided that he must thought with his own mind before moving ahead. He felt one thing no one cared for his life. He started to use his wheelchair. He went inside his room without help. He was glad that he managed at least that much.
Ankit was so upset. He sensed one thing. It was not straight as it seemed. His wife Kiran was not talking to him. She was just talking with Doctor alone. He knew from beginning that he couldn't walk still she was claiming that he could. It was not right. He felt one thing that she was lying to him deliberately. She was tying to cheat him. He knew that he would not able to walk. He decided that he didn't want to go to Doctor. He went in room where Kiran was trying to find something in room. Ankit " I don't want to operate." " What? " " I said I feel that it will be risky for my life." Kiran was so shocked. She came near him." Sweet heart it is not that risky. It is just normal operation." " But I don't want to try it. I know very well that I can't walk." " Who told you that?" Ankit was so angry. It was clear that he couldn't walk why else he could have landed in wheel chair on first time. She was creating false hope in his mind. She wanted to kill him. He felt so sad. He never thought that his wife would act in such way. He just wanted to stay alive. " May be you should divorce me? I can stay in this house with some help. You don't need to spend your entire life in taking care of a sick husband." Kiran was so shocked. " You are not going to be sick for entire life. Doctor told me that you can be fine. I am going to arrange money for it and I am going to do your operation. You don't need to worry about money. Just relax. I will manage it all." Then she started to search for accounting books. He was so confused. She was arranging so much money for him. He couldn't believe that she was doing it with view to kill him. He began to listen to her. She kept telling him that their life could move back on track again. He began to feel hopeful again. He smiled. He began to sensed that he could find hopes if he decided to search for them. He agreed to do it. Ankit " Fine. I will do operation." She smiled and began to arrange all. He felt one thing that she was not trying to get rid of him. Since he offered her divorce but she rejected it so she wanted to stay with him. He began to laugh at his own negative thinking. He knew that his wife would never left him. He began to convince himself that she might wanted to operate him to make him normal. Then Raju came in room. Raju " So Uncle you are going to walk soon?" He smiled. He began to feel so hopeful. He suddenly remembered those days when he used to enjoy watching movies in theater. He used to enjoy them every day in his life. But now it was impossible to visit theater now. But he could enjoy movie in home. Raju " Why don't you rent some DVD. Let's watch some movie." Raju looked confused. He was not interested in bringing it. Raju " Sir why don't you just watch movie on TV?" He felt so angry and upset. He nodded. After all Raju would not go out even if he insisted since Kiran told him to stay in home. Raju managed to create excuse and avoid his every work like that. He just kept sitting near him or mostly he was sleeping in his room. He hated it. But he couldn't stop it. He needed Raju for many necessary things. He needed a person so he could ignore those things which were not needful. Ankit " You are right. I can see them on TV." Then he took remote and started searching for some good show. While watching one boring serial he suddenly remembered one plot which was interesting. In it wife looked so dedicated to husband. She was beautiful still she kept her honesty with handicap and old husband. It was interesting but in end it was shocking. Since she showed off her affection but actually she wanted his money. It was just one common story. But now suddenly it began to look more important to him. He suddenly remembered his house. It was not big but still it was important asset. Kiran might wanted to kill him for his house. He was so scared now. He needed help. He remembered his elder brother. He called him when he saw that Raju was sleeping. Pankaj took his call. " What happened Ankit?" Ankit started crying. Ankit slowly told every thing to Pankaj. Pankaj was so shocked. " You can come to me. No need to worry. You can stay in our parent's flat. Ramu Kaka would take good care of you." Ankit was so happy. He wanted to go to his old time again. He felt with Ramu Kaka he was safe. He needed some money. So he went in his room. He took all that money which he could managed to take with him. Then he started even dragging many clothes. He managed to find suitcase. He started packing every thing. Suddenly Raju appeared. Raju " Sir what are you doing?" " My brother is coming. I need to pack my luggage." He thought Raju would object. But Raju smiled happily and started packing. Ankit just wanted to ran away from there before Kiran could come. He was so nervous. He kept moving his wheel chair here and there. Finally Pankaj came Ankit went away with him in Taxi arranged it. Ankit was so happy to went away. He was no longer interested in staying with Kiran. He decided that he might let her take that house. He just wanted to be alive and peaceful in his old house.
When Kiran came back from office, she was so excited about operation. She wanted to take Ankit to Doctor. She wanted her life to become normal. Her life was so perfect before Ankit's accident. Ankit was nice person with good understanding. They always managed to avoid argument. They had many different views. But they always managed to give respect to each other. She knew that even if Ankit had view that he didn't want to operate. He surely at least agreed to visit Doctor. Then Doctor would convince him about it. She ran towards home when she saw Raju standing outside. She was so scared. Kiran " What happened? What's wrong? Why are you standing outside like this? Where is Ankit?" Raju looked shocked. " Didn't sir told you? His brother took him." " His brother took him!! What are you talking about?" " Sir told him that he was going to his father's house and his brother was going to take him there. His brother came and took him." Kiran was so upset and angry. She decided that she must call Pankaj. She started calling him when Raju started to ask for money. "Madam now give me my money. Sir is gone so I don't need to come from tomorrow." Raju was clearly happy to finally get rid of this job. Ankit was not friendly employer but he was nice man. Still Raju never showed any emotion attachment towards Ankit. Raju took his job but he was never sincere about it. Kiran didn't want him now for taking care of Ankit. She wanted some one who cared. She gave money. He went away immediately. Then she started to call Pankaj again. Pankaj took her call. She was so angry " I want to talk to Ankit." " First talk with me." Then he started to telling her about Ankit's allegations. Kiran was so upset. Kiran " Why are you believing him? He didn't even remember every thing properly. He is not behaving like normal person at all. He needed a Doctor." " But I feel he is normal." " Fine then take him to your Doctor and do treatment. " Pankaj suddenly began to look confused. She sensed one thing that Pankaj was not planning for giving him treatment. Kiran " You can't just keep sick person in home without treatment. You have to take him to Doctor, Don't you see that he can't even walk!! He is not fine." " But he said.." " Stop repeating his words. He is not sound mind person like he once used to be. You need to understand and accept that." Pankaj sounded nervous. " Either start his treatment there or bring him back to me." " But he was telling.." " What are you trying to tell me? You are telling me that he is fine and you are moving ahead by keeping faith on his statement? Don't you remember how did he was acting in hospital? He was not much better now." " You mean he don't recognize people but he recognized me." " No he can do that. But soon you will understand that he don't recognize many things which will show new effect on life. He had become impossible person." Pankaj kept quiet for something. Kiran just disconnected her call. She knew one thing that her life was destroyed. She loved her husband. But her husband no longer loved her. She could go back to her parents. But she didn't want to do that. She always felt so nice with her husband. Her parents were not interested in keeping her in house without marriage. Now her situation was worst. She decided that she couldn't survive like that. She went inside house. She started searching for some way to kill herself. She couldn't find any thing promising. She decided that she might hang herself. She planned all. When her phone rang, it was call from that Doctor. She knew that she forced him to call his friend in abroad. She forced him to do all for operation without even meeting her husband. He did it since he felt her husband could be fine. She had to say no to him. She took his call. Then she just started telling everything without stopping. Doctor " This is too much. No need to worry about my friend. He had to do other operations too. But how could they act this way with you? Your husband needed mental treatment. Your brother-in-law can't stop you. You must force him. Don't give up so easily." " But my husband is not cooperating." " But he is not in sound mind. If you go to last Doctor, I feel he might help you." Kiran suddenly began to feel hope. She smiled. "Doctor, Thanks." Then she threw away that rope. She called to that Doctor who treated Ankit after accident. She took his appointment. She was so tense but she decided that it was better to fight than kill herself. She called her boss and took unpaid leave of one day.
Kiran was literally shivering. She was not sure that she did right thing. She felt that this Doctor might blame her too like Pankaj and Ankit. She kept taking name of god and sometimes she kept singing songs which she had heard in childhood. They were her way to reach to that childhood when she dreamed of perfect married life. But truth didn't turn out same way her life was nice until accident. She always experienced strange pressure during choosing her husband but Ankit was nice boy. He was so nice person but now every thing seemed to shattered. He no longer cared for her. Then suddenly her mobile rang. It was Ankit. She smiled. She hoped that he had some to his senses and he would say sorry to her. It would be over. But when she took call, he started abusing her. He began to throw allegations on her. She began to scream too. She totally forgot that she was in hospital. Her voice began louder. She screamed so loudly that nurse come to her and told her to keep quiet. Then even Doctor came out. Doctor " What is wrong with you? Why are you screaming like that?" Kiran " Sorry Doctor." " Can't you read that sign? You must switch off mobile. Now do it." Kiran was so confused. Ankit started calling again. She decided that she must tell all to Doctor. She started to tell all. Doctor " So what you want from me? I am not psychiatrist. I can't treat your mad husband. But I can tell you floor number." Then he called nurse told her to give her information. Doctor " And cancel her appointment." " But Doctor I need certificate to prove.." " No need. Tell your brother-in-law that your husband is harassing you on mobile either send him to you or you will file Police complaint." " Okay." Then Kiran took that number and name. She also talked about floor of hospital. Then she went to reception and once again asked about Doctor. Then she asked for appointment. She was given number. She kept waiting for it. She was so scared. Ankit was calling her again and again. Then she took his call. Ankit " Where are you?" " Well why it concern you? You feel I want to kill you then you should be happy even if I die." " I don't wish ill for you." Then Ankit stopped talking for moment. Ankit " I want you to understand that I don't hate you. I feel you can enjoy your life. I am ready to divorce you." " I don't want divorce. I want you to visit Doctor." Ankit screamed " Why did you want to kill me?" " I don't want to kill you. I will not taking you to Doctor who will do operation. I promise this Doctor will not touch you." " You promise me?" " Yes." " Fine. I will talk with him." " Great I will make appointment." " No I will talk to him on laptop." " Are you out of your mind?" Then Ankit disconnected call. Kiran was so upset. She kept waiting outside. When finally her number came, she was so upset. She went inside. Doctor looked confused. Doctor "I thought my patient is Mr. Ankit." He asked while reading paper. Kiran " Yes he is but he is not.." "Ready to come here." Psychiatrist smiled. " I don't know why people hate me so much I am really a nice man." Kiran also laughed. " So what is his terms?" " He will chat on laptop." " Fine. Let's start." Kiran smiled. She called Ankit and told him to come on laptop. Doctor gave her smile and told her to go out. " I want privacy while chatting with patient." She nodded. Then after half an hour nurse told her to go in. Psychiatrist " I talked with your husband. I think he is suffering post traumatic symptoms. He never able to accept that he couldn't walk." " But God I was telling him that he can walk.." " That is basic problem that he didn't accept his troubles but that doesn't mean he felt that he could walk. He started with hope then worst depression entered in his life so he managed to feel that he couldn't be normal again. He started living his life with strange negative fantasy and I feel that Raju was also cause of trouble. I will send one nice nurse for you. Give me number of your Doctor who is going to operate Ankit." She gave it. " We will work together and don't worry Ankit is coming back soon. Just trust us. You needed to take bigger medical treatment but every thing would come on track." Kiran smiled happily with hope. After that Ankit talked to her. He apologized. He was not totally like his old self but his old, normal Ankit was entering in his voice again. Kiran smiled happily. She felt that it was beginning of moving toward right path.
The End
Ankit started reading newspaper. Soon he sensed that those news were managing to make him more upset. He looked at his legs. He had perfect life but then one day he had that road accident.

It was like learning to drive car again. It was hard but he needed to do it to survive. He started to try it again.
Kiran was working so hard to complete her project. She needed more money now. She wanted Ankit to become fine. Their life was so good before that accident. She still remembered every day. It was just wonderful. She wanted it to become normal again. Ankit was not normal now. He acted strange way. Every day he started to create new drama. He kept saying that she didn't want to stay with him but still she was staying and he was so thankful for that. But she never did anything for sake for charity. She still loved her husband. She was sure that one day every thing would become fine. She knew that they needed to try more. She knew that they needed a nice Doctor who could help them to make their life normal. They needed to find a Doctor. Kiran was convinced that if they kept trying then they would find a way. But he didn't understand. Ankit just kept crying every day for his sorrows. It was so strange. He never wanted to try walking. Kiran decided that she would try every thing by herself if he was not ready. She wanted him to walk. She decided that today she would go early from job and meet Doctor. She knew for that she had to work fast. She needed to concentrate on work. She started doing her work. She was so happy.

Ankit " I am ready for check up but I want to wait for sometime before operation. " " I know. We need to prepare for money and every thing. But don't worry. I will managed." She was so happy.

She was creating false hope in his mind. She wanted to kill him. He felt so sad. He never thought that his wife would act in such way. He just wanted to stay alive. " May be you should divorce me? I can stay in this house with some help. You don't need to spend your entire life in taking care of a sick husband." Kiran was so shocked. " You are not going to be sick for entire life. Doctor told me that you can be fine. I am going to arrange money for it and I am going to do your operation. You don't need to worry about money. Just relax. I will manage it all." Then she started to search for accounting books. He was so confused. She was arranging so much money for him. He couldn't believe that she was doing it with view to kill him. He began to listen to her. She kept telling him that their life could move back on track again. He began to feel hopeful again. He smiled. He began to sensed that he could find hopes if he decided to search for them. He agreed to do it. Ankit " Fine. I will do operation." She smiled and began to arrange all. He felt one thing that she was not trying to get rid of him. Since he offered her divorce but she rejected it so she wanted to stay with him. He began to laugh at his own negative thinking. He knew that his wife would never left him. He began to convince himself that she might wanted to operate him to make him normal. Then Raju came in room. Raju " So Uncle you are going to walk soon?" He smiled. He began to feel so hopeful. He suddenly remembered those days when he used to enjoy watching movies in theater. He used to enjoy them every day in his life. But now it was impossible to visit theater now. But he could enjoy movie in home. Raju " Why don't you rent some DVD. Let's watch some movie." Raju looked confused. He was not interested in bringing it. Raju " Sir why don't you just watch movie on TV?" He felt so angry and upset. He nodded. After all Raju would not go out even if he insisted since Kiran told him to stay in home. Raju managed to create excuse and avoid his every work like that. He just kept sitting near him or mostly he was sleeping in his room. He hated it. But he couldn't stop it. He needed Raju for many necessary things. He needed a person so he could ignore those things which were not needful. Ankit " You are right. I can see them on TV." Then he took remote and started searching for some good show. While watching one boring serial he suddenly remembered one plot which was interesting. In it wife looked so dedicated to husband. She was beautiful still she kept her honesty with handicap and old husband. It was interesting but in end it was shocking. Since she showed off her affection but actually she wanted his money. It was just one common story. But now suddenly it began to look more important to him. He suddenly remembered his house. It was not big but still it was important asset. Kiran might wanted to kill him for his house. He was so scared now. He needed help. He remembered his elder brother. He called him when he saw that Raju was sleeping. Pankaj took his call. " What happened Ankit?" Ankit started crying. Ankit slowly told every thing to Pankaj. Pankaj was so shocked. " You can come to me. No need to worry. You can stay in our parent's flat. Ramu Kaka would take good care of you." Ankit was so happy. He wanted to go to his old time again. He felt with Ramu Kaka he was safe. He needed some money. So he went in his room. He took all that money which he could managed to take with him. Then he started even dragging many clothes. He managed to find suitcase. He started packing every thing. Suddenly Raju appeared. Raju " Sir what are you doing?" " My brother is coming. I need to pack my luggage." He thought Raju would object. But Raju smiled happily and started packing. Ankit just wanted to ran away from there before Kiran could come. He was so nervous. He kept moving his wheel chair here and there. Finally Pankaj came Ankit went away with him in Taxi arranged it. Ankit was so happy to went away. He was no longer interested in staying with Kiran. He decided that he might let her take that house. He just wanted to be alive and peaceful in his old house.
When Kiran came back from office, she was so excited about operation. She wanted to take Ankit to Doctor. She wanted her life to become normal. Her life was so perfect before Ankit's accident. Ankit was nice person with good understanding. They always managed to avoid argument. They had many different views. But they always managed to give respect to each other. She knew that even if Ankit had view that he didn't want to operate. He surely at least agreed to visit Doctor. Then Doctor would convince him about it. She ran towards home when she saw Raju standing outside. She was so scared. Kiran " What happened? What's wrong? Why are you standing outside like this? Where is Ankit?" Raju looked shocked. " Didn't sir told you? His brother took him." " His brother took him!! What are you talking about?" " Sir told him that he was going to his father's house and his brother was going to take him there. His brother came and took him." Kiran was so upset and angry. She decided that she must call Pankaj. She started calling him when Raju started to ask for money. "Madam now give me my money. Sir is gone so I don't need to come from tomorrow." Raju was clearly happy to finally get rid of this job. Ankit was not friendly employer but he was nice man. Still Raju never showed any emotion attachment towards Ankit. Raju took his job but he was never sincere about it. Kiran didn't want him now for taking care of Ankit. She wanted some one who cared. She gave money. He went away immediately. Then she started to call Pankaj again. Pankaj took her call. She was so angry " I want to talk to Ankit." " First talk with me." Then he started to telling her about Ankit's allegations. Kiran was so upset. Kiran " Why are you believing him? He didn't even remember every thing properly. He is not behaving like normal person at all. He needed a Doctor." " But I feel he is normal." " Fine then take him to your Doctor and do treatment. " Pankaj suddenly began to look confused. She sensed one thing that Pankaj was not planning for giving him treatment. Kiran " You can't just keep sick person in home without treatment. You have to take him to Doctor, Don't you see that he can't even walk!! He is not fine." " But he said.." " Stop repeating his words. He is not sound mind person like he once used to be. You need to understand and accept that." Pankaj sounded nervous. " Either start his treatment there or bring him back to me." " But he was telling.." " What are you trying to tell me? You are telling me that he is fine and you are moving ahead by keeping faith on his statement? Don't you remember how did he was acting in hospital? He was not much better now." " You mean he don't recognize people but he recognized me." " No he can do that. But soon you will understand that he don't recognize many things which will show new effect on life. He had become impossible person." Pankaj kept quiet for something. Kiran just disconnected her call. She knew one thing that her life was destroyed. She loved her husband. But her husband no longer loved her. She could go back to her parents. But she didn't want to do that. She always felt so nice with her husband. Her parents were not interested in keeping her in house without marriage. Now her situation was worst. She decided that she couldn't survive like that. She went inside house. She started searching for some way to kill herself. She couldn't find any thing promising. She decided that she might hang herself. She planned all. When her phone rang, it was call from that Doctor. She knew that she forced him to call his friend in abroad. She forced him to do all for operation without even meeting her husband. He did it since he felt her husband could be fine. She had to say no to him. She took his call. Then she just started telling everything without stopping. Doctor " This is too much. No need to worry about my friend. He had to do other operations too. But how could they act this way with you? Your husband needed mental treatment. Your brother-in-law can't stop you. You must force him. Don't give up so easily." " But my husband is not cooperating." " But he is not in sound mind. If you go to last Doctor, I feel he might help you." Kiran suddenly began to feel hope. She smiled. "Doctor, Thanks." Then she threw away that rope. She called to that Doctor who treated Ankit after accident. She took his appointment. She was so tense but she decided that it was better to fight than kill herself. She called her boss and took unpaid leave of one day.
Kiran was literally shivering. She was not sure that she did right thing. She felt that this Doctor might blame her too like Pankaj and Ankit. She kept taking name of god and sometimes she kept singing songs which she had heard in childhood. They were her way to reach to that childhood when she dreamed of perfect married life. But truth didn't turn out same way her life was nice until accident. She always experienced strange pressure during choosing her husband but Ankit was nice boy. He was so nice person but now every thing seemed to shattered. He no longer cared for her. Then suddenly her mobile rang. It was Ankit. She smiled. She hoped that he had some to his senses and he would say sorry to her. It would be over. But when she took call, he started abusing her. He began to throw allegations on her. She began to scream too. She totally forgot that she was in hospital. Her voice began louder. She screamed so loudly that nurse come to her and told her to keep quiet. Then even Doctor came out. Doctor " What is wrong with you? Why are you screaming like that?" Kiran " Sorry Doctor." " Can't you read that sign? You must switch off mobile. Now do it." Kiran was so confused. Ankit started calling again. She decided that she must tell all to Doctor. She started to tell all. Doctor " So what you want from me? I am not psychiatrist. I can't treat your mad husband. But I can tell you floor number." Then he called nurse told her to give her information. Doctor " And cancel her appointment." " But Doctor I need certificate to prove.." " No need. Tell your brother-in-law that your husband is harassing you on mobile either send him to you or you will file Police complaint." " Okay." Then Kiran took that number and name. She also talked about floor of hospital. Then she went to reception and once again asked about Doctor. Then she asked for appointment. She was given number. She kept waiting for it. She was so scared. Ankit was calling her again and again. Then she took his call. Ankit " Where are you?" " Well why it concern you? You feel I want to kill you then you should be happy even if I die." " I don't wish ill for you." Then Ankit stopped talking for moment. Ankit " I want you to understand that I don't hate you. I feel you can enjoy your life. I am ready to divorce you." " I don't want divorce. I want you to visit Doctor." Ankit screamed " Why did you want to kill me?" " I don't want to kill you. I will not taking you to Doctor who will do operation. I promise this Doctor will not touch you." " You promise me?" " Yes." " Fine. I will talk with him." " Great I will make appointment." " No I will talk to him on laptop." " Are you out of your mind?" Then Ankit disconnected call. Kiran was so upset. She kept waiting outside. When finally her number came, she was so upset. She went inside. Doctor looked confused. Doctor "I thought my patient is Mr. Ankit." He asked while reading paper. Kiran " Yes he is but he is not.." "Ready to come here." Psychiatrist smiled. " I don't know why people hate me so much I am really a nice man." Kiran also laughed. " So what is his terms?" " He will chat on laptop." " Fine. Let's start." Kiran smiled. She called Ankit and told him to come on laptop. Doctor gave her smile and told her to go out. " I want privacy while chatting with patient." She nodded. Then after half an hour nurse told her to go in. Psychiatrist " I talked with your husband. I think he is suffering post traumatic symptoms. He never able to accept that he couldn't walk." " But God I was telling him that he can walk.." " That is basic problem that he didn't accept his troubles but that doesn't mean he felt that he could walk. He started with hope then worst depression entered in his life so he managed to feel that he couldn't be normal again. He started living his life with strange negative fantasy and I feel that Raju was also cause of trouble. I will send one nice nurse for you. Give me number of your Doctor who is going to operate Ankit." She gave it. " We will work together and don't worry Ankit is coming back soon. Just trust us. You needed to take bigger medical treatment but every thing would come on track." Kiran smiled happily with hope. After that Ankit talked to her. He apologized. He was not totally like his old self but his old, normal Ankit was entering in his voice again. Kiran smiled happily. She felt that it was beginning of moving toward right path.
The End
