CH-14

Minutes passed by and there was no sign of any movement .
My eyes were completely tired of seeing the movie in the big screen but seeing it in hospital made no difference as they show only two types of people .' The healers and the injured 'and thats what I assume for the title of the film .

Then I saw a docter passing by . I leaped up from my seat and asked
"Whats the conditions "
As i said this , i heard some mingling sound coming from the floor as if something has fallen but i ignored it.

The docter , I think, was shocked as if a lion has leaped on him but it's not his fault , as my movement had no traces of a human .

"Which conditions " he asked .
"I mean health " I said ,thinking that the doctor mistook my words .
"Fardeen " said swati and held my hand . She said "he is not the doctor taking care of aryan . Leave him "
As I changed my glance to the doctor to apologize , he was gone .
'Doctors dont have enough time to stand in a place for long' I wondered .

She pulled my hand and I fell down , straight on the seat .
I am about to lose my control . It is about 3 hours that I am waiting for the the child to come out safe .
Even my attempts to play with my fingers failed as when they were already attacked by the sharp edges of this seat.

I looked at swati , there were no signs of fraying nerves but a different type of sadness , anxiousness for the boy whom she cares for .

' I cannot feel anything and nor is my mental state as patient as her .
What can I do ? He is just a stranger for me . How can I feel something sad for someone I don't even know .'

I said all this in my mind then something striked me hard . 'What ' I said aloud .
And grabbed the attention of all the public near me . All looking at me as if asking "what ?"
"Sorry " I said , which was so slow that I ,myself was hardly able to hear it .
But the thought of that striking thought again striked me back  . What the hell was I just thinking ? 'Stranger' was it the word that swati had thought about me when I said that epic "pakistan " word in front of her . Shame on you fardeen .
You have started transforming into the same landlord who threw a man outside , the same people who threw you out of the office , the same nikhil who stabbed you with a knife . Seriously fardeen , am I nuts ?

I was really feeling shameful , calling someone a stranger is not what I should say . I mean , you may have heared that thought that "people living in glass houses should not throw stones at others " . And what am I doing ?

"He is alright " said a docter, to swati . I stood up at the statement and thanked the docter . But , my statement and body language just appeared like any kind of formality as I was still cursing myself for being a real stranger today .

"You can take him back tomorrow . We need to keep him for today just for verification purpose . " instructed the doctor .
"Thank you very much doctor " said swati . She was smiling and crying at the same time .
"Ok madam and sir" said the docter ,looking at me ," your son will get well soon . "
The thought disturbed a little and I was about to correct the doctor when swati stopped me .
" Let it be ." She said . The tears of happiness were still clear on her cheeks . But somewhere inside me , someone was crying .
........................................................................

It was about 8:30 when we reached home . I was tired or you may say famished after such a busy day . And moreover the depression caused by that strange feeling of being a real stranger was not ready to leave me .
As we approached the door , I saw that it was locked .
"Where are the keys ?" Swati asked me .
I looked at her and then at my pockets and then inside my shirt , my pants and.........
"Where are the keys" i finally said .
"You are asking my question back to me " she said "i think you left them in the bike "
"I think so " is said and started stepping down the stairs and approaching my bike . I checked the handle and the backstorage but the keys were not there.  I thought for a while and .......

I leaped like an animal and asked "whats the condition ? "
As i said this , i heard some mingling sound coming from the floor as if something has fallen but i ignored it..............

"Damn" i said " now i have to go back to the hospital to bring the keys " .
"What happened . Did you find the keys ?" I heard swati yelling .
" Swati , actually , i think i have left the keys at the hospital . I need to go back there and bring the keys back ." I said .
" I shall go with you " miss swati commanded and then i heard footsteps of her stepping down the stairs "
"No " i responded.  She didn't listen and stood in front of me .
"Why ?" She inquired .
"See sawti , if you come with me then it will get quite late coming back because i know that you are not going to leave without seeing aryan .
So its better for us that i go alone "
She nodded . 
I sat on my bike , started the engine and waved her goodbye .

........................................................................

It was about to dusk . The sky was looking gorgeous with the blend of yellow , orange  and red . It was almost like a sea above our head . The light from the sun which was making the clouds look red was making it even more beautiful . As i was riding the bike , some thoughts were interrupting me .

How easily she agrees to my explanation . She is not just like any other girl that i see in many bollywood movies (the ones i went to see with her) . She is an intelligent girl and knows what is right.  I sometimes think of the days we have passed together almost like a family and it feels so memorable . When I first met her , she was like an angel for me  and now like a best friend . Thinking of the movie, all i remember is the name of the movie which was hmmm .... Something like ......................................aha.........ok ,i think i forgot it too.  But it was a romantic movie , that i remember .

We went inside and took our seats . The movie started and we watched . I was sitting beside her . Yes , i was but i don't know why was repeating that sentence in my head instead of seeing the movie. All i cared about was "i was sitting beside her"  . Now , i don't want to say that i was in love with her. I was not feeling any type of attraction towards her and by attraction you know what i mean . And nor do i feel such a thing now. I don't know what it is . From the day i saw her for the first time when she was talking to her mom , till today i always felt an unusual feeling . I don't know what but it was neither attraction nor repulsion.

Repulsion ? Hahahahah.  By the way , bad joke.  So, where was i ? Yeah . The only thing that i wanted to see was a smile on her face . And whenever i saw one , my mind used to take me to a place where i saw , we laughing together . It almost felt the same as one feels while with their best friends but it was slightly different . No , it is not any kind of love .

Coming back to that movie evening. I was unable stop myself from saying that sentence again and again. As we came out of the hall , rain started .
"Need to get an auto . Can't go through the bike " she shouted but the voice seemed low in between the high noise of rain .
"She was sitting beside me " i said .

"Hey man , why are you standing in the way " a man shouted behind me .

I looked back ,surprised . I was again lost in my dreams while waiting for green light in a fourway route. 

"Sorry , bhaijaan " i said and started my bike .

Yes , so have seen many womens in movies and i sometimes feel attracted to some , the way we usually feel attracted but i don't feel the same towards . What does it mean .  Its not love but a friendship type of feeling . But still , its different .

But sometimes , she is confusing . She hides things from me like her brother and her past life and i don't know why.  But still , she may have her own reasons (that i will discover soon) And it reminds me of something else , i too , have not completed my narrations of my past infront of her . Seems a nice title of a book "my narrations of my past"  .

By the way , i think i am able to see the hospital ahead of me  . I must hurry , sawti would be waiting back home .
