The Prospect of Life
"What's your name?"
"Ummm... P..P..Pa..Payel..."
"Hmm. Where do you live?"
"A..A..An..Andheri.."
"East or West?"
"E..East"
"Hmm. Now say, where in Andheri East?"
"Near Canossa High School. Aman is coming, naa?"
Dr. Kulkarni sighed.
With the movement of his forefinger, he pressed a bell located on the top of his table.
A woman, probably in her mid thirties appeared.
"Take her inside."
"NO! NEVER! I'M NOT GOING INSIDE ANYMORE. MIND YOU, SANDY! I'LL RUIN YOUR LIFE! SANDY! JUST LET AMAN COME... SANDY!", the woman who claimed to be some Payel, shouted at the top of her voice.
Some other women along with the former women dragged Payel inside.
Dr. Kulkarni's vision got blurred enough to miss the dire moment, that had happened earlier too.
Ten years ago. Sandeep and Payel. A big fat wedding. In fact, destination wedding. Goa!
And after a year or so, a cute li'l baby boy. And thereafter a happy family.
After eight years. One fine afternoon. Sandeep was getting ready to visit the hospital. Payel was dozing off on the couch. Suddenly, a stud-like reporter, on a local news channel, came up with a news, that changed the family's life forever.
"A school bus was on it's way to the students' residences. And it came to a halt at a petrol pump, with all the students boarded in it. Soon after filling the required gasoline into the vehicle, the bus started off. In the meantime, a small boy (of class 3 or 4), whose water bottle had fallen from the window of the bus, and he had boarded off the bus to pick it up. But neither the bus' driver nor the cleaner did notice the poor chap, and the big monster-like vehicle, crushed the kiddo's li'l head.
Both the driver and the cleaner have been arrested by Mumbai police. They are trying to contact the kid's guardi..."
Rest of the words became vague, when suddenly Payel's phone started ringing.
The forlorn parents' face had already became pale. Payel picked up the phone with trembling hands.
"Ma'am, Aman has undergone an acc..."
The phone felt loose from Payel's hands and down onto the floor. Sandeep's legs gave way, and he sat on the sofa with a thud. And Payel? Well, I guess you have already guessed what happened to her!
Yes my friends, you guessed right! Since that day, Payel is at this Anandvan Wellness Centre, under the severe guidance and routine checkup of Dr. Sandeep Kulkarni, her beloved husband...
