Chapter 17

Floating in the seas of sorrows , gliding in the rays of happiness we all hear such words but do we ever experience them ? She did not know what was happening to her maybe she was dying or maybe it was rebirth or was it the beginning or the end . She saw a bright light get much brighter than anything she had ever seen before and then she saw it something which she did not know ever existed. Sitting on those pristine white steps was a man in a green kurta with her on his laps and then she went near to him and before she could say anything he said "where were you looking for me ? I have always been here with you..." and then the man took her hand and took her up the steps the steps felt as if they never ended and then at the end of those steps she saw her mom and dad . She ran to them and hugged her mother and her father, she cried and cried for long.
"Nurse when was the last shot valium injected" , shout the a stout sardarji in a white overcoat. The nurse in her Keralite accent said "Saar, valium waaz given at waan aeyaam".
"So how are you young lady?"he said as if he knew she was awake and had been witness to all the dream she just had. "Where am I?" she asked him , "Oh! well Appu Ghar yeh anyi ride hai, issey valium ride kehte hain" the surd wasn't as good as his elder and more horny counterpart Mr. Khushwant Singh but he did try to add humor with his multicolored medicines. "I mean muje kya hua?" she asked him, "You fainted, what else, you do know there is such a thing as food and that you need to eat it..." he did get a little acerbic but this was the fifth case in the month when a bulimic or an anorexic girl was brought because she fainted or was about to die.
"Who got me here?" she asked "I did" replied a familiar husky voice, it was Ravi Kant Singh the neta, he had been in Mumbai for quite sometime and was doing quite well last she heard he was an MLA from some place in Maharashtra. "Ravi you? aap kab aye" she exclaimed in complete astonishment he was the last person she expected to see here on this planet especially after his wife caught him banging her on the roof of his house. "I was here for a case actually and main apne purane ghar jaa raha thi ki tumhe sadak pe shashtang pranam karte hue dekha , so I picked you up and got you here, ab kaisey ho?". "I dunno bas my head is spinning like I just played three straight sets of Ringa ringa rosy" she laughed at her own little joke maybe the surd had rubbed some of his humor onto her or it could be the drugs doing there job.
"Pajent ko spaanj bath dene hai saar" said the fat Keralite nurse . Ravi smirked and left the room and she got ready for the ride of a lifetime as the nurse rubbed a weird sponge which she was sure was also used for mopping the floor on her soft body. "There goes my body shop shea butter down the drain" she exclaimed to herself.
