All that there was - Part III

-


I was grasping for air. No one came into the room. I assume no one heard me. I have to find out what happened yesterday. I have to find that traitor I tried to help despite repeated warnings, and punish him for what he did to my love. I removed the IV from my arm and stood up. Everything was still hazy. I knew they won’t let me go, so I stole a look towards the window, the lady cop was sleeping soundly. I took a look at myself, it seems my mother had changed my clothes. I was still looking terrible but it’ll have to do. My mother was nowhere to be seen but her wallet was lying on the table. I thanked God for her forgetfulness. I started out as noiselessly as I could, after sometime I was out of the hospital. I walked for some distance, when I felt safe enough I hired a taxi for my clinic.

The clinic was locked, so I took out my mother’s spare key and opened it. I went to my office and started thinking about that day. I reached at my usual time, and immediately started seeing patients. I had a small practice but usually have a lot of patients. Its sad how depressed people are these days. My first patient was a 10 year old who tried to commit suicide when he failed his exams. His parents were really worried about him. Second one was a lady, she was a home maker and was seriously struggling with identity crisis. It was during the second session that I got his call. “Doc! I need your help. I need to see you urgently.” He was out of breath and seemed really scared, “Parth!! what happened? Are you all right?”. “Doc! he’ll kill her. He’ll kill my wife. Even cops are not helping me. He is powerful, they listen to him. Doc you are my only hope. Please help me.” “Where are you? Let me come get you”, I was worried about him. “No doc, he is dangerous. I don’t want him to know about you. I am coming to you”, he said and hung up. I requested the lady to postpone the rest of the time to her next session. She was happy to help. I called up my next patient and told him that we’ll have to postpone his session by 2-3 hours and started waiting for Parth.

I was waiting for Parth when I got a call from my husband. “Baby! How’s your day going?” he seemed a bit worried. “Its good. Is everything okay?” He never calls me during the working hours except lunch time. “Hope you are not seeing that nut case now.” “Yes I am. I told you I can handle him. What’s going on?” “You are not talking to him again is what’s going on,” he was furious. “And why is that? Because he is dangerous? He never even once touched me, let alone threaten me. What is your problem with him?”, I was angry now. “He threatened me, not you. He has told me to stay away from you.” “Oh! And when did he meet you?” liar. “He wrote a letter to me.” “Interesting! Can you please show the letter to me.” He didn’t reply. “Thought so. Thanks for the support then, bbyee,” I hung up. I got up and made coffee for myself. Parth reached within a few minutes. I could hear him, he was panting. I started towards the door and opened it all of a sudden. It hit my hand and the coffee got spilled. Shit! It was hot. “Doc! He is doing it again. He threatened me. See!!!” he extended a note towards me. I read it. “You are not getting away with this, you killed my girlfriend and I now I am going to kill your wife. You will suffer like I did.”

Its complicated!! - Part I

He was on his knees. I have waited so long for this day. There was nothing I haven't done to make sure this happens. He might not like it but one day I'll tell him everything, when none of it will matter. After all, I took away his lady love from him, broke him, confused him and convinced him that he is lucky to have me. Oh yes!! I am mean and I am goood.  We met during our first job. I was really nervous and as usual very late. I didn't know the place so I took a taxi. Turns out he knew fewer places than me, and drove like he's going to live for a hundred years. I cursed and swore more than, well most of the people and reached an hour late. The wonder of wonders, the damned business park had 10 buildings and no boards identifying them. I asked the guard at the gate, who told me a suspicious route to my tower. 10 minutes after starting out my pursuit of the building,  I realized I need help both actually and figuratively. So, I asked the first person I met, "

All That There Was - Part I

I was standing there with a knife dripping with his blood, so much blood. His face was as serene as ever. In the other hand I was holding the letter. I wish I ’ d been there earlier. It might have made all the difference. So all I can tell you is why he was murdered. I murdered him, I murdered my love, not with the knife but with my arrogance. I stood rooted to the place, not even the cops entering our home could make me move. “ Ma ’ m!!! Ma ’ m!! You ok? Ma ’ m are you hurt? Please hand us the knife, ” it was like their sound was reaching me through a long tunnel. “ Baby!! My baby!! How are you darling? ” my mother was crying inconsolably. I looked up at her, but even she couldn ’ t break my trance. I tried to see her face, but all I could see was him. Sparkling eyes, smiling lips, a small and pointed nose, calm expression, that man was a depiction of serenity at its best. That man looked the same even in his death, like he is telling me that he has forgiven me. We were in the

Its Complicated!! - Part II

I didn't see him for next few weeks. I was so very indulged in making my life less of a hell that I forgot about him. "You!! How dare you go behind my back? I am going to take away your job," I heard a shout. There was our friend not-my-work being shouted at, about to get fired. "In fact you are..", he was about to say it when I passed him murmured in his ear. He started laughing. "Oh! you find it amusing?", asked his boss. "Something is funny!! Not this," he said. "Oh please! do tell us. We all want to know". "Sir! please do remember, you told me to tell this to everyone. It's not my fault". "What are you saying?", his boss asked skeptical. "Sir! the girl you are stalking on facebook is sending you swear words," he said and the entire vertical erupted in a laugh. His boss's screen was clearly visible. I saved his job and his boss, he must be cursing me. "Do you generally enjoy making fu
