Aarushi was lying on floor. A lady in her mid 40 was checking her. That lady held her wrist.

"Kya hua jamnabai..?? Kya lagta hai apko..?? " A lady asked jamnabai who was checking Aarushi.

Jamnabai checked Aaru's eyes & a big smile came on her face.

"Yeh maa banane wali hai.. " Jamnabai declared.

All that ladies went out to tell this news to fellow villagers. A big tide of horror went through Aarushi's spines.

Jamnabai was still there. Aaru stood up. She was so scared that she couldn't feel her legs. She was about to fell on ground but Jamnabai held her.

"Apne bacche ko apne samne marta hua dekhna aasan nai hai.. Kisi bhi Maa ka kaleja yeh nai seh sakta.. Beti.. Tu to bahot khush nasib hai ki tere iss bacche ka baap koi aisa mard hai jise tum janti ho.. Warna yaha har 9 saal baad do ajnabee insano ko laya jata hai yeh kaam karne ke liye.. " Jamnabai said with concern.

Aarushi started crying loudly. She was crying as loud as she can. A feeling of helplessness was oozing through her eyes. Sumedh came there running.

"Aaru..?? Shh.. Ro mat.. Sab thik ho jayega.. " Sumedh said.

"Jhooti tassali mat de ise.. Maa ka dil hai uska.. Agar tumhari tassali ke bawajood bhi kuch galat hua to wo wapis kabhi tujhpe bharosa nai kar payegi.. " Jamnabai said to Sumedh.

Jamnabai made Aaru drink water. After some minutes Aaru became normal.

"Aap kaun..? " Sumedh asked to Jamnabai. 

"Jamnabai kehte hai mujhe.. Vaidya hoon yahaki.. " She introduced herself.

"Oh.. Vaidya hai aap..? Hum bhi doctors hai.. " Sumedh said.

"Pata hai ki tum log doctors ho.. Sab kuch pata hai mujhe.. " Jamnabai said.

Aarushi & Sumedh widened their mouths. Jamnabai laughed a little looking towards their amused eyes.

"Main sab janti hoon.. Tumhara ek bhai hai jo baccho ka doctor hai aur tumhari ek behen hai jo aurato ki doctor hai.. " Jamnabai said.

"Aap English bol sakti hai..? " Sumedh asked in disbelief.

"Jyada nai.. Thoda thoda.. Par samajhti jaroor hoon.. " Jamnabai said while offering them lemonade.

"Kaise..?? Yaha apko kisne sikhaya..? I mean how..??? " Aarushi asked.

"Hmm.. Bahot lambi kahani hai.. " Jamnabai said.

"To bataiye na. " Sumedh said.

Suddenly they heard a noise. Some ladies came into jamnabai's house.

"Bahot badi baat ho gyi hai Jamnabai.. Hame laga yeh ladki ne uss ganv ki ladki se pehle khushkhabar de di.. Par pata chal raha hai waha ke dono ka pehle se hi ek bacchi thi.. Wo usi bacchi ko bali chadhayenge.. " A lady complained.

"Bhagwaan.. Yeh to anarth ho gya.. Ab iski bacchi ko to ane me nau mahine lag jayenge.. Dekhna.. Ab wo log sir par chadh ke nachenge.  " Jamnabai said dramatically.

Unknown of everything Aarushi & Sumedh looked towards each other.
