Chap 30

"Sanskar got conscious!" Laksh's call made Swara jump to her feet. She was in her clinic at that time. Though burning with high fever, she knew she had to keep herself busy in order to maintain her sanity. But little did she knew, maintaining and masking her sanity are two different things.

There weren't many appointment today. She almost finished her last patient by 4 in evening. As soon as she signed the last prescription, she ran out. But she saw whole media standing in front of her clinic.

"What happened?" Swara was confused to see the media.

"Mam! Sanskar sir's condition is not hidden from anyone. So..." Guard replied.

Swara took a deep breathe. For the first time she was facing this huge media, that too all alone. Till now, on a few occasions, she faced media with Sanskar. He was the master of diplomacy in front of media.

Swara took a deep breathe. She had to deal with the media alone.

Swara stepped forward.

"Mam! How is Sanskar sir now?" One person shooted her with a question.

"He is fine now!" Swara didn't let her inner nervousness came out in front of media.

"Tell us what exactly happened? Who tried to do this?" Another person asked.

"You all will be informed about everything in the police briefing soon. Don't worry! Your Sanskar sir is very much fine now with God's grace!" Swara tried to go away from there.

"Mam! As per our sources, Sanskar sir is attacked by one of your previous lovers!" Media person shooted another question.

Swara didn't want this question to be raised. But it finally came.

"I am telling you na! Police briefing will disclose everything to you all!" Swara was visibly uncomfortable.

"Mam! Do you think that you are responsible for sir's condition." Another question shooted.

"Mam! How are you feeling seeing sir in this condition?"

"Mam! Was sir's condition was very critical?"

"Mam! Will you break your relationship with sir now for his safety?"

The questions turned into insensitive ones. These were scratching her heart. As if there wasn't enough pain in her heart, media was trying to put more salt over it.

"Don't you all see that she is already enough distressed?" a voice came from behind. Swara turned to look at the voice. It was Sumedha.

Sumedha came closer to Swara and held her shoulders.

"Who shooted the question about how she is feeling seeing Sanskar in this condition?" Sumedha was furious.

"Mam we just....!" A reporter was about to say something.

"Show this footage, complete footage on your news channel. And let people decide that your question was insensitive or not!" Sumedha said rudely.

"Mam! We just wanted to ask how can Swara mam manage to tackle her patients even when Sanskar sir in this condition?"

Swara felt the words stabbing her heart. A tear fell from her eyes.

"If she didn't see the patients, you all would have said her irresponsible, not eligible for being a doctor right." Sumedha said, "Please guys! She is not from a limelight background. She is already much distressed. Please let us go. I didn't want to be rude but see the level of questions you were asking!"

Media scattered to give her way. Swara sat in her car along with Sumedha.

"Calm down!" Sumedha held her hand, "Don't let media affect your mental balance."
