Chapter 20
Darshan: Hey Little Warrior! Open your eyes for me.
He lightly slaps her cheek a few times to get some kind of reaction out of her but fails to do so.
Darshan: Jay? Please aankhe kholo.
He starts panicking. He carefully takes out his phone from his pocket, making sure not to hurt Jaimi in his arms. He calls Naushad who picks up after a few moments.
Darshan: Bhai?
Naushad: Kya hua? Tum itne darre hue kyu ho?
Darshan: Bhai, Jaimi behosh ho gae hain.
Naushad: Kyu? Kaise?
Darshan's mind blocks out his questions.
Darshan: Mein kya karu?
Naushad: I-I...
Darshan: Mein apne ghar leke jaa raha hoon. Aap waha aa jao!
Naushad: Thik hain! Mein abhi aata hoon.
Darshan settles Jaimi down in the seat carefully and straps her down. He calls the same doctor he did when he brought Jaimi home the first time. He informs him of the situation and speeds off towards his apartment complex.
He reaches there in about 15 minutes. He gets down and opens her side of the door. He unfastens her seatbelt and takes her in his arms in bridal style before locking the car. He sees a few people giving him weird stares while some start to pull out their phones to capture them. He hides her face in the crook of his neck.
He gets into the elevator and presses the button to his floor. He gets down and starts calling Jyugal's name. Jyugal opens the door after a minute completely shocked. He lets them in. Darshan takes Jaimi to his bedroom and lays her down on the bed.
Jyugal: Yeh kya hua?
Darshan: Jaimi behosh ho gae. Doctor aa raha hain toh tu dekh na please.
Jyugal: Mein dekhta hoon. Tu calm reh!
Jyugal waits for the doctor.
On the other hand, Naushad calls Mehjaeen and Ayesha into his cabin. Aishwarya tags along with them.
Ayesha: Bhai?
Naushad: Hume Darshan ke ghar jaana padega!
Aishwarya's face lightens up while Mehjabeen and Ayesha are confused.
Mehjabeen: Kyu? Kya hua?
Naushad: Uska abhi phone aaya tha. Jaimi behosh ho gae hain!
Ayesha: What? How?
Naushad: Mujhe nahi pata! Darshan ne kaha ki woh usko apne ghar leke jaa raha hain. Hum bhi wahi chalte hain!
They quickly grab their belongings and load into Naushad's car. Naushad starts towards Darshan's apartment complex.
The doctor arrives in a few minutes. Jyugal leads him towards the room. He takes a seat on the stool by the bed and examines Jaimi.
Doctor: Inhe phirse kya hua?
Darshan: Uh woh... achanak se behosh ho gae.
Doctor: Achanak toh koi nahi hota! Aap waha the?
Darshan nods his head.
Doctor: Aap yeh behosh hue usse pehle kya hua woh bataiye.
Darshan: Hum dono gym mein se bahar aae aur waha paparazzi the. Woh bahot darr gae thi and phir hum dono waha se chale gae. Uske baad bhi she was scared aur uski breathing bilkul bhi normal nahi thi.
Doctor: Woh paparazzi ki wajah se darr gae hogi.
Jyugal: Phir, behosh kyu?
Doctor: Aisi situation mein log panic karte hain aur panic ki wajah se hi unki breathing normal nahi hoti aur behosh ho jaate hain. She has a temperature, so uske liye thande paani ki patti kijiye. Unka fever normal ho jaaega.
Darshan: Abhi bhi uski breathing normal nahi hain.
Doctor: Uske liye mein injection de raha hoon par usse yeh behosh rahegi kuch ghanto ke liye and inki choti size ki wajah se probably raat ko hi uthengi.
Darshan nods. The doctor gives Jaimi a shot before leaving. Jyugal leads the doctor out after thanking him and paying his fees.
Naushad parks his car and they all move towards the elevator. They meet up with Siddharth who came to meet Darshan and the others. Hardik also meets up with them looking a bit worried.
Hardik: Jaimi? Mujhe abhi pata chala.
Naushad: Hum bhi usse milne aae hain!
Siddharth: Kya hua?
Mehjabeen: Darshan ka phone aaya tha ki Jaimi behosh ho gae hain.
Siddharth: Kaise?
Hardik: Pata nahi!
They get into the elevator as soon as it arrives. They get out of the elevator in a few moments and ring the bell. Jyugal opens the door and lets them in. He leads them to the bedroom where Darshan is applying cold water strips to her forehead. He glances at them.
Ayesha: Jaimi ko ab tak hosh kyu nahi aaya? Doctor?
Darshan: Doctor check kar ke kuch minute pehle hi gae hain. Unhone kaha ki Jaimi ab kuch ghanto ke baad hi uthengi.
Mehjabeen: Kyu?
Jyugal: Unhone usko injection diya hain!
Hardik: Yeh sab un paparazzi ki wajah se toh nahi hua na?
Naushad: Kaunse paparazzi?
Hardik: Om ne mujhe bataya tha ki gym ke bahar kuch paparazzi khade the.
Darshan: Unki wajah se hi behosh ho gae hain! Woh bahot darr gae thi aur doctor ne kaha ki uss wajah se hi Jaimi ko panic attack hua hain.
Siddharth: Paparazzi waha aae kaise?
Darshan: Pata nahi kisne bulaya hoga!
Ayesha: Mein Jaimi ko apne saath leke jaati hoon. Apne ghar!
Darshan: Nahi!
All the eyes are on him now.
Darshan: Mera matalab hain ki woh behosh hain so aise haalat mein kahi leke jaana thik nahi hain. Woh yaha reh sakhti hain.
Jyugal: Hum uska dhyaan rakhenge!
Hardik: Haan!
Ayesha: Par?
Mehjabeen: Ayesha, Jaimi ko yaha rehne do. They will take care of her just fine.
Ayesha is reluctant but nods.
Aishwarya: I can stay back and help!
Darshan: No need! Aur, tum mere ghar mein wapas aae kaise? Get out!
Naushad: Darshan, shaant, please! Abhi yeh important nahi hain. The most important thing is Jaimi's health, right?
Darshan just looks away with his eyes shut and nods. They all step out of the room and sit in the living room. Ayesha stays with Jaimi and calls the first person that comes to her mind.
Person: Hello?
Ayesha: I need your help!
Person: Kya hua?
Ayesha: She had an encounter with the paparazzi today.
Person: Is she okay?
Ayesha: Woh behosh ho gae hain!
Person: Jiska darr tha wohi ho raha hain!
Ayesha: Woh tasveerein aur videos hatane hoge! Kisi ne usko pehchaan liya toh pata nahi kya hoga...
Person: Calm down! Mein dekhta hoon.
Ayesha: AM ko batau kya?
Person: Woh pareshaan ho jaaega! Pareshaan se zyada gussa.
Ayesha: Jay uski jaan hain!
Person: Tum tension mat lo mein sab kuch handle kar lunga.
Ayesha: Thank you! Tum kaise ho?
Person: Fine! I'm going to drop the call or else someone might be able to tap it.
Ayesha: Bye!
The person hangs up the call. Ayesha looks at the time and sees it lasted for about a minute and a half. Ayesha turns to see Jyugal at the door. He steps into the room and Ayesha starts panicking.
Ayesha: Aap kab aae?
Jyugal: Abhi abhi! Woh mein apna phone bhool gaya tha.
Ayesha: Oh.
He grabs his phone and turns to look at Ayesha. She offers him a small smile.
Jyugal: Tum bhi aa jao!
She nods her head and goes out with him. They sit on the window seat as the other seats are occupied. She shifts in her seat uncomfortably for a minute or two as Jyugal keeps glancing at her. She looks ahead of her to see Darshan's face in his palms.
Naushad: Paparazzi ko waha bulaya kisne?
Darshan: I-I don't know par woh mujhse Jaimi ke baare mein sawaal puch rahe the!
Siddharth: That's weird kyu ki woh celebrity ke baare mein puchte hain.
Hardik: Agar unko kisine bulaya ho taki woh Jaimi and Darshan ko harass kar sakhte toh?
Jyugal: Aisa kaun karega? Aur kyun?
Mehjabeen looks at Aishwarya from her peripheral vision to see her scooting close to Darshan. She places her hand on his thigh. He pushes it off with his elbow.
Mehjabeen: Kuch log hain jo kuch bhi kar sakhte hain kuch paane ke liye aur Darshan ke chahane wale sorry waliyan kam nahi hain!
Hardik: Aaj Karishma bhi gym mein thi aur woh kisi se photos ki baat kar rahi thi, phone pe!
Jyugal: Woh waha kya kar rahi thi? Woh uss gym ki member bhi nahi hain!
Siddharth: Sawal yeh uthata hain ki usko uss gym ke baare mein pata kaise chala? Darshan ne yeh gym ki membership kuch mahino pehle hi li hain.
Mehjabeen: Pata lagane ke liye bahot log hain!
Naushad: Jaise?
Mehjabeen: Mein aap ko baad mein bataungi.
Naushad nods, still confused. They chat for another hour or so. Ayesha excuses herself and leaves her phone behind on the seat. Her phone beeps and a message icon pops up on the screen. Jyugal looks down and quickly glances at the message that says, "Kaam ho gaya!" He quickly looks away. She comes back and looks at the message. She replies with a thank you.
Darshan: Bhai, kya hum woh photos aur videos hatvaa sakhte hain? Woh kuch aise sawaal puch rahe the jis wajah se Jaimi ko problem hogi. Pata nahi woh bahar aa gae toh kya hoga. Jaimi... woh bahot darr gae hain.
A small smile plays on Ayesha and Mehjabeen's lips.
Naushad: Don't worry woh sab mein dekh lunga!
They sit in silence for some time with small conversations here and there. It's around 2:30 in the afternoon by now.
Aishwarya: Ma'am aap ki meeting hain aadhe ghante baad!
Mehjabeen: Thik hain. Chalte hain!
Naushad: Shaam ko wapas milne aaenge!
They all leave after bidding bye to Darshan and the boys. Siddharth, Hardik, and Jyugal go to the kitchen to find something to eat while Darshan goes to his bedroom. He sits on the bed beside Jaimi's unconscious figure. He switches out the strips. The boys enter the room with a sandwich in their hands after some time. Jyugal offers a sandwich to Darshan.
Darshan: Mujhe nahi khana!
Jyugal: Kuch khaale warna tu bhi bimaar pad jaaega.
He shakes his head and looks at Jaimi. He fondles her hair.
Hardik: Tere na khaane se Jaimi thik ho jaaegi kya?
Siddharth: Kuch khaa le phir woh uthegi tab usse bhi sambhal na hain.
Darshan takes a sandwich from Jyugal and they all eat with little conversations here and there. After a while, Darshan senses that something is off about Jyugal's behavior.
Darshan: Jyugal, kya hua?
Jyugal: Nahi! Kuch nahi.
Darshan: Pakka?
Jyugal: Haan.
Time flies by as Hardik, Siddharth, and Darshan work in the studio while Jyugal enjoys watching a match outside. The four check up on Jaimi from time to time and switch out the strips.
Around 5 in the evening, Naushad rings the bell to Darshan's apartment. Jyugal lets him in. They both immerse themselves in watching the match as the other three are working. The other three come out after half an hour or so and the match also ends.
Naushad: Jaimi?
Darshan: Woh abhi tak behosh hain.
Naushad: Kuch 4-5 ghanto se behosh hain.
Darshan: Woh uski choti size ki wajah se injection zyada react karta hain.
Naushad: Oh.
Hardik: Bhai, woh paparazzi ka pata chala ki kisne bulaya tha?
Naushad: Kisi ne waha gym ke landline se call kiya tha. Like the emergency phones.
Hardik: Karishma hi hogi.
Jyugal: Humare paas proof nahi hain!
Siddharth: Aise aarop nahi laga sakhte!
Darshan: Aapne woh saare videos aur photos hatva diye?
Naushad: Nahi.
Darshan: Kyu?
Naushad: Mein hatvau usse pehle hi kisne hatva diye the.
