Sanjna's father asked the person who have brought her to hospital,
what,s your name, gentleman?
Myself,...Ravinder , saying this,he gave him his visiting card, which read,
Ravindra Singh,
Vice President,
Shiva Group Of Companies.
Myself Ram Avtar Sharma,
Chairman,Navratna Group of Industries.
Sanjna's father gave him his introduction and expressed his gratitude for the timely help rendererd by him.
I shall be always obliged to you for your timely help.Sanjna's father said.
No, no,it was my moral duty. Ravindra Singh replied. and took permission for leaving.
Six hours have passed. Now Sanjna has gained consciousness and opened her eyes.
Papa, Where am I ?In hospital,?
Who brought me here? She asked all the questions in one breathe.
Her father narrated the whole episode.
Her eyes were wet with tears.
She took the visting card in her hand and started reading. Her heart filled with gratitude for this person who brought her here.
After six days, she was discharged from hospital and went to her house.
Next day, Sanjna went to the college.
She had vowed not to talk to Deepesh any more. After attending college lectures,she took her lunch in the college canteen.When the lunch was over, she proceeded towards her classes.
Suddenly, something fell from her pocket to whom Sanjna didn't notice.
Sanjna, please stop,came a voice.
Deepesh came running from behind, oo ll and gave that visiting card to her.
Thanks, said Sanjna.
Thanks not needed...... Deepesh told her.
Your behaviour have changed.You are not talking to me. what's the matter.?? Asked Deepesh.
I don't want to talk to you , Sanjna told him.
But why,??? Asked Deepesh.
I don't think necessary to answer all your why's. Sanjna replied bluntly.
But can you tell me how do you know
this person whose visiting card you are
keeping safely.
No,I don't want to give reply to any of your questions. Sanjna told him.
In the evening to while returning home, Sanjna thought of conveying her gratitude to the person who unknowingly helped her timely and saved her life.
She called at the mobile number given on card.
Hello, Sanjna,... this side, whom you escorted to the hospital and get admitted in Emergency during a road accident.
Hello,came the voice from other side.
Sorry to disturb you.
I just wanted to offer my thanks for your kind help due to which I am alive
till today.
Oh ok it's okay.
It was my moral duty.replied Ravindra.
By the way, what are you doing Sanjna? Ravindra asked.
I am doing B.Sc. Hons,(Maths,) final year from I.S.D. college, Replied Sanjna.
Nice to hear it.My cousin is also doing
graduation in Maths ( honours) , from the same college.
He is in final year of his graduation.
You might be knowing her.Ravindra replied from other side.
What is his name? asked, Sanjna??
His name is Deepesh,he told her.
Hearing the name, Sanjna came to a
standstill. She could not utter a single word. Owing to his courteous and helpful attitude, she had started ignoring him.
Hello, Sanjna,do you know him?
He asked.
Yes,I know him, Sanjna unwillingly said.
Okay, Sanjna, right now,I have to attend an online meeting.
Sorry for leaving.please call tomorrow.
Ravindra said.
Okay and thanks once again.
I shall call you tomorrow. saying this,Sanjna disconnected the call.
Next day, she again called him on his phone .Both of them ,once who were
very unfamiliar,were now very close friends.
Next day, she went to college.
Professor Dheerej had not come. She
went to the library.
Deepesh was also in the library reading some reference book.
She sat on the chair next to him.
Rajesh, can you give me the notes of lectures for the six days when I was in hospital, asked, Sanjna.
Surprised to hear from her, as she wasn't on talking terms for the last two days, Deepesh replied,Yes,sure.
Sanjna, tell me one thing, how did you change your mind.
Whenever you like, you can talk to me and be funny and friendly to me at your sweet will, and when you like, you are free to ignore me like a waste paper lying in waste basket.
I shall help you, as to help anybody is my helping attitude,but for God's sake, don't play with the emotions of anybody.
Deepesh,. I am sorry,really so sorry .
I have met your cousin who saved my life by timely getting me admitted in
hospital, when I met with an accident.
Had he not helped me, I would not have been standing in front of you now.
I knew the importance of selfless service and came to know of my mistake. Your cousin and you, were as n angel of GOD who offered timely rescue operation by taking the needy persons to the hospital.
I swear not to behave like that in future.
Please, forgive me, saying this she became emotional
Okay,Please,now be normal.
Tell me one thing, Why didn't you disclose me that the person on visiting card is your cousin while handing over me the card which you picked up from ground when it fell from my pocket.
Sanjna I tried but you rude told me that
you didn't like to talk to me.
Okay , Deepesh,now leave that ugly topic. She said.
Okay,then,Let's have a Cup of Coffee in the Canteen. said Deepesh in an attempt to soften and divert the chat.
Okay,as you like, saying this, both of them stood from chair and proceeded towards canteen.
To be Contd....
