The 'Un' Attached String

Chapter - 32

Next day, in the morning, during breakfast, Bela told other family members everything about what happened between her and Maahir. Hearing about that, Mr. Sarna said, "Mujhe yakeen nehi ho raha hai ke Maahir ne kuch kiya hai. Sab samajhme aata hai lekin Bulbul ke saath vo aisa kaise kar sakta hai? Maine Maahir ko bohot galat samjha hai. I used to think differently about him." Mrs. Sarna made a face and replied, "Main to pehle se hi jaanti thi ke aisa hi hai vo, par tab meri baat kisine nehi suni. Ye Bulbul bhi mujhse kitna jhagarti thi, par vo bichaari bachchi... vo bhi kya karti, usne apne baap ka hi to saath diya tha, har beti yehi karti hai. Uski umar hi kya hai, sirf 8 saal, is umar mein hi usne kya kya nehi dekh liya, kitna kuch nehi seh liya. Pehle to ghar mein ghuste hi mujhse jhagarti thi lekin kal se usne ek lafz nehi bola." Bela replied, "Mujhe isi baat ki pareshaani ho rahi hai maami ke Bulbul ne abhi tak react hi nehi kiya hai lekin agar aisa hi chala to vo kahi permanent shock mein na chali jaaye." Madhu replied, "Nehi nehi Bela tu aise soch bhi mat kuch nehi hoga hamaari Bulbul ko. Hum sab milkar koshish karenge ke Bulbul thik ho jaaye aur vo bachchi hai, thora sa care aur pyar se kaise thik nehi hogi aur zarurat paregi to hum usko kisi child psychologist ke paas lekar jaayenge." On the other side, Daksh went to Bela's room and found that Bulbul had already woke up and sitting on the bed quietly. He went to her and said, "Pata hai aaj na didi ne special aapke liye aaloo ke paraathe banaaye hai, zyaada zyaada aloo dekar to aap jaldi utho aur chalo mere saath garma garam paraathe with butter is waiting for you." Bulbul kept on looking at Daksh but did not reply anything. Daksh gave his hand to her, which she held after looking at it for a long time and then got down of the bed. On reaching the dining hall, Daksh walked towards the table to have food but Bulbul stopped the moment she stepped inside the dining hall. Daksh and the other family members looked at Bulbul and everyone asked her to come in but Bulbul stood still gave a strange look towards everywhere along with all the people who were looking at her. All of a sudden shocking everyone, she fall down on the ground and everyone ran to her and Bela slipped on the floor while running towards her but she somehow dragged herself to Bulbul and tried to wake her up. Bela shook Bulbul and in a trembling voice, said, "Bulbul... bachcha uth ja beta, kya ho gaya. Mamma dekho na..." Madhu said to Daksh, "Daksh puttar jaldi se gaari nikaal abhi ke abhi Bulbul ko hospital lekar jaana parega." Bela immediately picked Bulbul up in her arms and then ran outside followed by Madhu.

[Present Time]

"Bela!! Bela!!", Madhu called Bela which broke the chains of her thought and brought her back to the real world and she looked at Madhu and she worriedly asked, "Kya hua mamma?" Madhu replied, "Vo Bulbul ke tests ho chuke hai aur usko cabin mein lekar aaye hai aur kaha hai ke hum usse mil sakte hai." On hearing this, Bela ran to Bulbul's cabin where doctor was there waiting for her. At first, Bela hugged an unconscious Bulbul and then asked the doctor, "Meri beti ko kya hua doctor? Vo aise behosh kaise ho gayi?" The doctor replied, "Dekhiye vaise to hume kisi test mein kuch nehi mila sab kuch normal hai, official reports kuch hi waqt mein mil jaayegi. Is behoshi ki vajah kuch aur hi hai jo hume abhi samajhme nehi aa rahi hai. Filhaal jaisa ke aapne kaha ke aapke aur aapke husband ke beech mein problems chal rahi thi jiske vajah se aapki beti disturbed hai so mujhe lagta hai ke aapki beti ko ek normal aur loving environment ki zyaada zarurat hai." Madhu asked, "Doctor hum Bulbul ko ghar kab lekar ja sakte hai?" The doctor replied, "Hosh mein aane ke baad aap bachchi ko ghar le kar ja sakte hai aur ha saath mein reports bhi lekar jaaiyega." He then looked at Bela and replied, "Mrs. Sehgal jaisa ke aapne bataya ke aapki beti ne kal se ek lafz nehi bola aur aaj aise behosh ho gayi hai to ek baat to tey hai ke usko bohot zyaada shock laga hai aur agar is shock se vo bahaar nehi nikli to aagey chalkar usey kisi bhi kisam ke mental disorder ho sakte hai and even worst vo paagal ho sakti hai aur usko is shock se bahaar nikaalne ka bas ek hi raasta hai ke uske dil mein jo kuch bhi hai uska bahaar nikalna chahe vo jaise bhi ho. Ye card rakkhiye..." The doctor gave Madhu a card and said, "Ye yaha ki ek bohot hi achchi child psychologist ka card hai, mere khayaal se aap Bulbul ko unke paas lekar jaaiye. She needs help right now." After that the doctor left from there and Bela was continuously thinking about what the doctor had just told about Bulbul. By that time, Bulbul slowly opened her eyes and found Bela sitting beside her. On seeing Bulbul opening her eyes, Bela kissed on Bulbul's forehead and said, "Bulbul babu dekho mamma tumhaare paas bethi hai." On opening her eyes, when she found Bela in front of her, her eyes automatically went towards the rest of the room and found Madhu and Daksh but her eyes were still searching the whole room in the hope of her father but right at that moment, she remembered how Maahir had compelled her to leave the house. Bela rubbed her head lovingly and said, "Baby tum na thora sa bimaar padh gayi thi to subah hum tumhe yaha lekar aaye the, abhi doctor ne kaha hai ke tum bilkul thik ho to hum ghar ja sakte hai." After some time when Bulbul started to feel better, her family took her back home along with her test reports. While returning home, in the afternoon, Bela decided that she would not let Bulbul suffer her fate and so she thought to meet that psychologist as soon as Bulbul was physically fine.
