Chapter 2
"This way doctor" Saurabh called his family doctor to pay a visit. Surbhi is behaving weirdly since last night. Earlier he felt she is acting but she doesn't leave her car seat for four hours. He brings her in the house after she fell asleep. He called the doctor keeping precautionary measures in mind. Its been 11 in the afternoon and she hadn't wake up, its something new for him. She is early riser.
Doctor hold her wrist to check her pulse and she woke up. She struggled to free herself. Its unexpected and sudden and his stethoscope fall on the floor. It caught her attention. She look him and then thing on the floor. Something clicked in her mind and she start wriggling her right hand infront of him. Her silver bracelet is also moving vigorously with her hand. Doctor hold it and it is a pendrive attached with bracelet. Doctor asked to bring a laptop to see what's in it. They attached it and a man appeared on screen.
"Hello my fellow doctor." that man said and Surbhi clapped. "The woman with you is Surbhi Patel." he said and Surbhi pointed a finger towards herself. "She loves Bombay sandwich and Dabeli."
"sandwitch" Surbhi repeated and moves tongue on her lips.
"I hope you will order it for her." that man in screen requested and they asked a servant to do so. Surbhi followed the man and Saurabh sent maids with her. They resumed the video.
"I am Dr. Ashutosh singh, a psychiatrist. The woman with you is my patient. Her name is Surbhi patel. I think she had repeated it countless times. Due to some tragedy in life, she lost her mental balance. I request you to contact me or her brother Harshil as soon as possible. Till we not reach to her please keep her away from stairs and noise. She is afraid of pet animals. Stay away from her, maintain a safe distance and don't try to enter in her personal space. "the message ends and his family doctor wait for Saurabh to comprehend the information.
Saurabh doesn't believe his ears. He felt someone moved the earth beneath him. Its too late to ask for forgiveness. The woman, he wronged, no longer sane to understand things. The woman, he loves doesn't understand the meaning of love. The woman , he loves, is not in the condition to recognise him. Many people commit mistakes and get a chance to rectify their mistakes. His case is different. Sometimes ,there is no second chance.
"I'll drop her to her place." he said to doctor for ensuring his departure. He moved towards drawing room. There is left over of sandwich on the table. His eyes searched for her and she is nowhere to be seen. He ran towards the main gate of house and its locked. He checked first few rooms and it has no human presence.
First time in his life, he regretted , having a multistoried house. He ran in jet speed in search of her. At fifth floor he found her dupatta and he relaxed a bit. Her earings, shoes were scattered on floor and he followed the line. It end up in their master bedroom. Dimlight is coming from bathroom. He took cautious step ahead. He neither know what's in store for him nor terrified her. He switched on the lights. Bathroom door was azar and he peeped in. Her lahanga and choli (Skirts and Blouse) was on the floor. In normal time this sight definitely arouse him but not today. Fear of unknown engulfed him. He opened the door and she is struggling with flush system of toilet. She touched the button and ran away by listening noise of flush. Tears fall from his eyes for the first time in his life. He destroyed her beyond repair. She repeated the act and ran again. This time she stumbled upon him. Her body is slightly drenched. She might have pressed the side shower button. She sneezed once. Her body is shivering due to cold. Her hairs were messed up. He took towel from the side and wiped her hairs. She stay as such not even blinked her eyes. Someone must have trained her to do so. He helped her to wash her hands.
"Come." he said and forward his hand. She kept looking him without any sign of movement. He move towards her to grab her hand and she moved her hands behind her back. He took a step towards her and she ran towards the corner of bathroom. She grab a bottle in her hand to hit him.
First time in his life Saurabh doesn't know how to proceed things further. Woman across him is hard to deal with. He doesn't want to harm her and want to make sure her exit from this tiny room. He moved his hand on his both sides in surrender and she let the bottle fall on the floor. Liquid in the bottle is all over the flooring and he is afraid of possible fall. Her eyes were fixed on him. He put his foot backward cautiously. She keenly watched his movements. He waited patiently for her actions. She hold a rod attached on wall firmly, took few steps ahead and ultimately came out from bathroom. He took sigh of relief.
She looked around the room in awe.
"Atleast something is same" his inner voice said and he is grateful for that. He stand on the door step of room to give her full access. She picked up the glass vase which they brought from Turkey. He doesn't like the piece but she was adamant to buy. He gave up and this became part of their room. She is looking it with astonishment. She turns its side and it slipped from her hand. There is loud bang of glass breaking and she shuts her ears with her hands. Her eyes were closed in fear. Saurabh wanted to run to comfort her but stay rooted on his place.
Its been half hour and she stay as such. After that she opened her eyes slowly slowly. Her eyes met with his and he flashed a smile towards her. She turned behind and there is no one behind her. Her head turns left and right. Although his facial muscles hurts, he doesn't stop smiling. She moves towards him, there is broken glass pieces on floor. He neither want to see her getting hurt nor have courage to stop her. She stands infront of him, looking at his eyes curiously. For few seconds he is clueless than it hit him. He has blue eyes unlike her family members who have black eyeballs. Her hand move further to touch it and his eyes blinked. His eyes opened again and she cupped his face in her hand,stand on her toes to look surprise element of her life. He never imagined in his dreams that such kind of day happen in his life.
