Journey - Part IX

Kusuma immediately drove down to the hospital. She kept her cool even under such a situation. On her way to the hospital, she called up her bro Ajju , her parents and also her maid and asked her to stay back with Sharan at home that night. She was waiting for the doctors to come out of the ICU so that she could see Rajan as soon as possible.She just felt that it would be a minor accident and he would be discharged in a day or two. Little did she know about the severity of the accident. Also, she didn't know why and how the accident happened. All she wanted was to see Rajan , sit next to him and tell him that things would be fine and soothe his tired eyes and kiss his forehead gently. Rajan she knew was a survivor. Just then, she saw the doctors coming out of the ICU. She went forward and introduced herself to the doctors. A man in a white shirt and grey pant with spectacles came forward and said: "I am Dr. Deepak Parekh, the head of the department of Orthopaedics. So, Mam, Why dont u come inside ? Let us sit and talk. By then, Ajju and her parents were also there. she sat on the chair opposite Dr. Deepak's and she couldn't wait anymore. He asked :: Ms. Kusuma, tell me, how strong are you????
