Episode 102 - You shall be called by a New Name

In the hospital room, the nurse was changing the dripping bags when Siyali slowly opened her eyes. Seeing her open her eyes, Nurse runs out to call for the doctor.


Siyali slowly looks around confused. She tries to get up but feels pain in her body. She sits up and touches her head trying to remember. Realising that a bandage was around her head, she tries to take her other hand towards her head but finds a needle on her wrist. Looking tensed, she pulls the needle off her, gets off the bed and limps towards the window.


Where am I? What am I doing in this place. She wondered and breathed hard. Her head hurt, feeling suffocated she opened the window and bending outside to feel the fresh air, cries in pain and trying to breathe.


METAL DROPPING SOUND! She stops crying and turns hearing the sound and sees a doctor and 2 nurses inside the room. Seeing her stand near the window, they assume the worst.


Nurse - Doctor. Mujhe lagta hai ke humey police ko bulana chahiye.


One of the nurses looked tensed at the doctor looked at the scared girl calmly. Siyali looked confused and shocked with the mention of police.


Si (tensed, stammering) - Po. Po. Police ko kyun bhulayenge. Mainey. Mainey. Kuch galat nahi kiya. Galat. Galat kiya nahi hoga. Nurse - Kiya nahi hoga mathlab?


Si (tensed, stammering) - Main. Main. Main. Aisa. Aisa.


Doc (suspicious) - Shreya! Shreya! Shreya! Calm down.


Siyali continued to stammer and not respond to for calling her Shreya. The doctor, knowing something was wrong walks near her.


S (tensed, stammering) - Don't. Don't come near me. Mere. Mere paas math aana.


Doc - Calm down. I'm just trying to help you.


The doctor signals the nurse who walks out of the room seeing which Siyali starts freaking out more.


Si (tensed, stammering) - Woh... Kahan jaa rahi hai.?


Siyali pushes the near by items in front, to stop the other two from coming near her. As the tray falls down, she picks up a the scissors and keeps it near her wrist.


Doc - Are you sure you want to do that?


Si - Huh?


Siyali looked confused.


Si (tensed, stammering, but strong) - Main. Main apni jaan kyun loon? Mainey. Maine kuch galat nahi kiya. Main kuch galat Kar hi nahi sakti.. Main. Main kyun daroon police se? I don't. Don't. Know what's going on. Par main sure hoon. Mainey kuch galat nahi kiya. I'm a nice person. I'm a good person. Main achi hoon. Achi. Achi hoon.


Doc (assuring) - Of course you are. But do you know who you are?


Siyali for a minute looked confused, dropped the scissor down and fell behind taking the wall as a support.


Si - Mujhe nahi patha. (Scared) Mujhe nahi patha. (Crying) Main kaun hoon! Mujhe yaad nahi aa raha hai. (Crying hard) Mujhe yaad kyun nahi aa raha hai.


She starts breathing deeper and suffocating. As it continues, feeling a pain on her chest, she placed her hand by the painful area and trying to breathe.


Si (crying) - I can't remember. I can't. I can't.


As she was about to faint, The doctor and nurse run to her and bring her back to the bed where she struggles to breath.


The other nurse comes back with few medicines along with an injection which the doctor uses on Siyali. Gautam and Keshav stand by the door and look at her as she tries hard to breathe and finally calms down and sleep.


----------------------------------------------------------------


Outside the room, Keshav and Gautam looking at Siyali through the glass area in the door,


G - Ab kya karein?


Ke (loud, tensed) - What do you mean ab kya karein?


Realising that they're in a hospital and poeple might listen, Keshav pulls Gautam aside to a corner which was pretty empty,


Ke (whispering, tensed) - Police ke paas jaana padhega. What else? And how are we going to explain them why we haven't reported this... for like a week.


G (confused) - Can we deal this without going to the police?


Ke - Dimaag kharab hogaya hai tumhara? (Whispers) What are you a detective!


Gautam was about to give his reasons but Keshav didn't finish yet,


Ke (warning) - Gautam, tumhare police ke saath dushmani ki wajahse us ladki ki zindagi barbaad math karo. I don't care if you're with me or against me on this, as soon as she wakes up, I'm talking to her about this. Let her decide what she wants to do.


Gautam wasn't comfortable with Keshav's plan but Keshav had decided what was best according to him and there was no making him change his mind.


Nurse - Patient Shreya's Guardian. (Shouts out) Patient Shreya's Guardian. Kahan hai woh do ladkey?


Hearing Shreya's name called, Keshav peeks from behind the corridor and holds his hand up.


Nurse - Patient ko hosh aagaya.


Hearing this, they walk to the room when someone holds on to Gautam's arm. He turns around and looks shocked seeing someone. Keshav turns to see Gautam as he wasn't following,


Ke (shocked) - Uncle! Aunty! Aap yahan!?


Keshav looks shocked to see two of Gautam's family members. The man looked angry seeing them at the hospital. He holds the woman by her shoulder, makes her sit on the bench by the wall and walks to the two guilty boys on the others.


Male - What's going on? What do you mean Shreya? Keshav! Gautam! Kuch bologe bhi? Why is a girl admitted with my daughter's name.


Shreya's Father looked angry while Keshav and Gautam looked down at the floor. After they explain the situation, they take Shreya's Father to the doctor who explains the situation to them,


Doc - We were about to call the police. Ladkey suspicious the! Aur baad mein Ladki bhi suicide karlene jaisi lag rahi thi. We thought something was wrong. Now that you're here, we're relieved.


Shreya's Father stares at Gautam and Keshav and look at the doctor.


Sh Dad - How is she now?


Doc - Honestly, she's not fine. She has critical injury in her chest area. Aisa lag raha hai ke bohat zhor laga gaya hai. She'll have difficulty breathing for a while. And then the more bigger issue, memory loss.


Gautam and Keshav look at each other wondering what kind of mess they got into.


----------------------------------------------------------------


Back in the hospital room, the nurse was cleaning the room after the chaos Siyali created. The nurse could hear the sound of crying, she turns back to see Siyali lying side ways and crying. Seeing the nurse look at her, she lied straight and closed her eyes with one of her forearm. Tears were flooding off her eyes. Suddenly she felt a touch on her forehead, due to which she removed her arm to look and sees a women in her early 40s (Shreya's Mom).


Siyali wakes up seeing her and sits, looking confused and longing for some answers, assistance and affection,


Si (longing) - Aap.... kaun hain?


Her eyes questioned. The lady who sat by her side, touches her cheek and with an affectionate smile,


Lady - Maa! Tumhari Maa.


Si (emotional) - Maa?


Her eyes brimmed with tears as Shreya's mother nodded with a huge smile on her face and brimming eyes. Crying, Siyali hugged her mother and started crying out loud.
