The call that just shattered my soul 🧡
Date : 16th Jan 2018
Time : 11pm
Episode : Phone rings
Call duration : 42 seconds
It was the time when everything felt so surreal and just impossible. Was it just an accident?
1300kms away I was experiencing the nightmare image of my best-friend. Everything seemed so perfect before that minute of call, it was the time when tragedy striked and heart skipped beats! And how guilty I would feel for years for not being beside her when she needed me the most.
Guess I would have never ever, so badly wanted to be in the "machinery city" as much as I wanted on THAT day.
Yes, it was an emergency. The orbit of calls and messages to the family, friends, relatives had traumatised everyone.
The series of connections that began at 11pm and didn't put even a pause. A catastrophe for the people who exchanged words about it. Every minute felt like an hour and every hour felt like a day. I was just sitting in calculus, trying to figure out a derivative to all complications coming in.
Friends like family, or rather say extended family, in the city,ran around the hospital, behind the doctors, trying to find about how things would proceed. Everyone just stayed connected, also keeping me aware about the state of every second. Yes, by that I mean each second!! I did create some new connections which have turned into better bonds. But then, the disaster had occurred for HER and for every soul straped.
Slit on forehead, Head Injury, Fractured Nose, Broken Knee, Scratched Hands, Multiple Cuts, Urgent Surgeries, Operations Needed, were the ONLY words echoing. Shock waves running through every nerve in the body, there was a need to take a STAND.
The family that planned a 10 day tour to North India from the 19th Jan, had to divert the plans to "Hyderabad".
How worst it could be for any Mum-Dad who are sitting miles and miles apart, to hear about their daughter just by a mere phone call, fighting with herself in a sanatorium. Unimaginable, unbelievable, unthinkable!!!
By contrast, the same family is sitting in the hospital (now at home) looking after their little one who is lying on bed with multiple bandages and plasters.
Afterward everyone involved, our circle of friends, her family; sat all day and night wherever they were - stupefied, befuddled, empty. The morning after the accident, she struggled back up to full consciousness. Despite severe injuries and acute pain, she was able to talk, make us giggle. She was so resilient and untroubled with herself that she made us also strong and boosted our energies to fight for her recoveries. Thank you my girl for giving us the strength!
For me, she has been the strongest lady known. There is so much to learn from her - being heroic, stout-hearted, courageous. Yes, she is back to the dead apartment with all positive vibes and with a determination to be back with a bang sooner than anyone else can think.
No idea where life would take us in the coming months. But, for now, I just want to hug her tight because I have such pure and enormous amount of love for my bosom baby. Words can’t define the heartache of being so far in these circumstances. I have been missing her miserably! Sorry for breaking the promise of being beside each other always, I just couldnt make it this time. But still, give me another chance, and you will see that I will keep holding your hand untill forever, my Eiffel. Will never let you go! 🧡
....Broken heart and Teary Eyed (Hers, Mehu)
