The 'Un' Attached String

Chapter - 29

Maahir came to the doctor's chamber and after asking him to sit, the doctor said, "Main aapka zyaada time barbaad nehi karunga isliye main seedha seedha mudde par aata hu. Maine aapki wife ke kuch aur tests bhi karwaaye hai jiske baare mein maine waha sabke saamne nehi bola, par aap unke husband hai to ye baat aapke liye janna zaruri hai." Maahir was scared thinking that something serious might have happened to Bela and so he asked, "Please bataaiye na kya baat hai?" The doctor asked, "Pehle mere ek sawaal ka jawaab dijiye ke how many issues you have?" Maahir made a face and replied, "Hamaare beech mein issues ki koi kami hai kya, usme sabse zyaada waale to is aurat ke vajah se hi hai aur..." "Main is issue ki baat nehi kar raha hu...", The doctor stopped Maahir in the middle and continued, "Ye aapka personal matter hai main dusre waale issues ki baat kar raha hu, matlab... how many kids you have? Ek ko to kal maine dekha hai to aur koi..." Maahir nodded his head and replied, "Nehi nehi meri to... matlab hamaari ek hi beti hai jisey aapne kal dekha." The doctor nodded his head and replied, "That's great! Aur main aapko yehi salaah dunga ke aap dono ek aur bachche ke baare mein soche bhi na because that would put your wife's life in danger." Although Maahir did not have anything to do with that news due to his complicated love-hate relationship with Bela and also since they were not going to stay together there was no question of having another child but still as the doctor sounded so worried he was extremely eager to know what happened. The doctor continued, "Ye jo drug unko diya gaya hai is vajah se unke womb ki haalat jo pehle se hi achchi nehi thi vo aur bhi critical ho gayi hai. Aisa nehi hai ke vo aagey chalkar conceive hi nehi kar sakti hai lekin agar vo karti hai to unke khud ke survival ke chances 50% se bhi kam hai." Now that news was a shocker for Maahir as he didn't know about Bela's medical condition and then he replied, "Par doctor meri beti bilkul physically fit and fine hai, uske to koi medical conditions nehi hai phir agar Bela ko koi problem hoti to Bulbul..." The doctor replied, "Dekhiye Mr. Sehgal aisa ho sakta hai ke aapki beti ke paida hone ke baad kuch hua ho, I don't know par agar aapki wife ke internal conditions aise hai to you're very lucky that you are having a physically and mentally sound daughter kyuki jaisa maine unke reports dekhe hai, this type of conditions happen only due to the intake of heavy drugs aur drugs sirf nashe ki cheez nehi hoti hai, medicines mein bhi hoti hai jaise kuch neend aane ke medicines, muscle relaxation, anti-anxiety pills kabhi kabhi aisi davaayiya agar frequently consume kiya jaaye to ye bhi ek kisam ke drug ka kaam karti hai." Maahir nodded his head and then asked, "To ab hume kya karna hoga? I mean kya is vajah se Bela ke jaan ko koi khatra hoga?" The doctor nodded his head and replied, "Oh no! Bilkul nehi! Koi problem nehi hogi aapki wife ko, vo pehle ke tarah hi ek normal life lead kar sakti hai. Its just don't think about having another child. That's it!" Maahir agreed and then left from the doctor's cabin. Maahir was walking in a trance thinking about what the doctor had just told about Bela and was continuously thinking about Bulbul if she was physically and mentally sound or if she had any kind of internal physical problem, although he had not seen anything abnormal but Bulbul's thought overwhelmed his mind. While thinking about that, he didn't even notice when he came back to Bela's cabin. His trance broke when he was just about to collide with Madhu and she asked, "Tu kaha gaya tha?" Maahir replied, "Vo thora washroom gaya tha." Madhu said, "Dekh puttar tune manaa kiya tha to maine Bela ko kuch nehi bataya par ye baat chupa kar rakhna bhi to sahi nehi hai na aur police aayegi to usko to puchegi hi phir to usko pata chalna hi hai." Maahir replied, "Main jaanta hu par aap fikar mat karo, main usko ghar jaane ke baad araam se bata dunga." "Koi zarurat nehi hai!", Ranjit said as he came out of Bela's cabin while others were meeting her. He continued, "Usko koi kuch bhi nehi bataayega. Meri bachchi already zindagi aur maut ke beech se ladkar waapas lauti hai ab main uski life ko lekar aur koi risk nehi lunga aur rahi baat police ki to main sab sambhaal lunga and police will never disturb her aur vaise bhi vo behosh thi we are the witness humne sab kuch dekha hai uske bayan ki koi zarurat nehi hai aur vo bayan degi bhi kya, she was drunk." Maahir replied, "Dekhiye sasurji main aapka concern samajhta hu lekin ye baat uske liye janna bohot zaruri hai varna ye uske liye injustice hoga aur us hotel mein jitney guests hai, jitney staffs hai sabko pata hai ke Bela ke saath kya hua, usko vaise bhi pata chal hi jaayega kyuki hum mein se koi usko ghar mein nehi rok kar rakh sakta hai. Kisi dusre se pata chale isse achcha yehi hai ke hum hi usko bata de." Ranjit grinned and said, "You don't mess with my daughter's life! Main tumhe uski zindagi ko phir se khatre mein nehi daalne dunga." Maahir replied, "Vo khatre mein thi, ab nehi hai. Jaise vo aapki beti hai thik vaise hi vo meri biwi hai aur meri beti ki ma hai, uski parvaah mujhe aapse kahi guna zyaada hai. So please do not interfere!" Saying Maahir left from there to enquire about the discharge procedures.
