[I would have never written again about Jeanie or her life but I couldn't hold back when I got to know about this accident .]
Jeanie is in a hospital.
She tried to cut her vein. She would have surely died if only her good hearted neighbour would not have taken her to the hospital.
Its been 3 days She neither spoke to anyone , nor cried and never smiled. The doctor who is in charge of her is really worried to see her like this. From the day she opened her eyes , she did nothing , spoke nothing , asked nothing , only cried and that too silently. To see her eyes always drowned in tears - doctor was moved. He always tried to engage her in a conversation but then she would not reply , not even look into his eye.
(On Sunday morning. Around 9 am. )
Doc - Good Morning Jeanie!
J- (No reply) (Jeanie is gazing outside the window which is in front of her bed, where she is sitting.)
Doc- ( uncomfortably ) It is a sunny morning , isn't it? I love mornings . Do you love mornings Jeanie?
J - (Still no reply)
Doc - (after her usual check up) Everything is good with you . You are recovering very fast. In few days , you will be absolutely fit and fine.
J - (She looks into his eyes with blank expression) I dont wish to be fine.
Doc - (Startled by her reply) But why? Don't you want to go back to your home?
J - I don't have any home.
Doc. - (Now trying to engage her in a conversation) What about your friends? You must be having people around you who love you?
J - I have no one.
Doc- (after a slight pause) But you can't always stay here.
J - I want to stay here only . I find peace over here. (her eyes are fixed on some children who are playing in the garden.... suddenly her eyes become watery. )
Doc - (Touched more deeply) Do you love kids?
J- (After a minute's silence as if she was struggling with some thought) Yes, I do .. very much.
Doc. - (suddenly changing the topic) And do you love hills?
J - (again looks into his eyes) Yes , I do. I love nature. I think perhaps she has some healing powers.
Doc - And..(her innocent stare disturbs him... he stammers..) And ... would you ... would you like to go to some.. some hilly place?
J - (Ignoring the question. Lest her hopes should destroy her again ) I go there.. In dreams... I often go at such place... my Zion... my heart .... I dream and go .. day and night I dream of such places....
Doc - (Interrupting her) Jeanie! Jeanie I will leave this place in two days. I have got posting in Assam . Would you like to accompany me there?
J- (passionately) Me?But why me?
Doc - Because you need a change of place. Since you love hills and by chance I am going to live at such place I wanted you to come with me. You will recover very fast there. (Now smiles with confidence) Think about it Jeanie and let me know. Have a Happy Sunday !
