Those last seconds.
·
"Doctor i think he just moved a little. We shouldn't talk about this here.", A female voice mumbled nervously.
"It's just your conscience, Ushna. He's unconscious. We can talk here. Here, take a seat."
I was listening to this very normally. I was trying to get back into my senses. Who was the lady? I obviously knew the male voice was a doctor. Who am i? What am i doing in a hospital? It wasn't amnesia. But it was a sideeffect of heavy anasthesia i guess. I decided to proceed listening.
"He was .. He was vomiting. The waste included blood. I just went to visit him today and .. He was in a vegetative state in a corner. Bleeding from the corner of his mouth. I'm just so.. confused and-.."
"Wait a minute there, young lady.", the doctor interrupted.
"You said you visited him? And the form doesn't say anything about who you are. Will you please explain or do you want me to call the cops?"
"NO! Please no cops. I saw him in the cafe the other day and he asked me out. We just went out on dates twice or thrice. I was actually going to dump him tonight."
And Baam. It hit me. Everything came back. She looked cute and i asked her out the other day. The bitch forgot to mention how she stole from my wallet. Meh.
"Young lady are you aware he has no one in his family and since you brought him here you'll have to pay for everything.", The doctor said and cleaned his throat a little just after speaking.
"Urmm.", Ushna said in a shaky voice. "How much will it take to get him fixed?"
"Ha. Fixed.", The doctor chuckled. "Maa'm are you by any chance a medical student?"
"Urmm. No."
"Very well then. I'll make it simple. He won't make it. He's lucky if he makes it to tommorow. And since he has no siblings or family or anyone. YOU will have to run to the police. YOU will have to do everything. In short terms and don't get offended when i say this. You're pretty much screwed."
This was getting way out of hand. I was scared as shit. The words "WONT MAKE IT" were revolving my head. I was freaking out. But i had to keep it in. I sneaked a little from my left eye and saw that they werent looking at me. I could now both look at them and hear them.
After a few minutes of silence, Ushna (being the slut she was) sat on the doctors lap and spoke in an arousing voice. "Doctor. Get me out of this and i promise you, you'll have the time of your life."
The lord knows how disgusted i was after watching that. The doctor pushed her softly and away from his lap.
"Let's talk business here. You scratch my back i scratch yours. After his death, you'd have to spend atleast 3 lakh rupees. And don't even get me started on the trouble that the cops will get you. How much do you have on you?", The doctor finished his sentence and put a cigar in his mouth.
"Urgh. I should have known. But.. I have some 75k on me. I swear to God i don't have a penny more. Just get me out of here.", Ushna mumbled nervously.
"Very well then. Now listen to me. You leave this place this instant. Try as hard as you can that no one sees you. I want the 75k transferred in my bank account in 12 hours. I have your information so don't try to be a smartass.", The doctor finished his sentence with a cigar in his hand.
"Okay. It's a deal. But what will you do with him? He will wake up in a while. What if he asks you."
"He won't. Heavy anasthesia. I'll make sure he doesn't even wake up before his death. Now get your ass out of here before anyone sees you.", The doctor said while smoking the cigar.
Ushna left in a hurry slamming the door. I closed my eyes. In a few mins the doctor left as well. It was then just me. Amazing how a few hours ago i didn't know i was about to die. And now i did. I could've informed the media. I had my phone with me. The media is always looking for news. But then i thought to myself. Why? Would it make a difference? Would it stop such ushnas and doctors to evolve? Most importantly would it make me live? No. It would only create problems for both of the assholes that just planned my death. Well, not technically planned but you know what i mean. I kept thinking about it and in a few minutes i could see the light fade away. I could sense my eyes were open. But the image was disappearing. I knew it was ending. I could've cursed alot to God. But i believe my last words were..
"Thanks for everything, Big guy. Alhamdullilah."

ReplyDeleteWell done! It really is good! I like it's ending.
ReplyDeleteEnding was fabulous. :) And also, the "it's a side effect of anasthesia". It reminded of TFiOS. And I'm obsessed with that. Hence, I am obsessed with this. Awesome. xx
