Chapter Sixty

A female security guard ran behind us as we entered Casualty. I did not know why she was running at first but I found out soon. She said, ‘The doctors have taken her directly to the operating theatre.’

‘Do you know which one?’ Rahul said.

The guard shook her head. ‘I just overheard them talking.’

We reached the hospital’s reception and caught a young attendant with a buzz cut in the middle of a yawn. He quickly put a hand to his mouth. The metal tag on the breast pocket of his shirt told us his name was Rishi.

‘They just brought in my fiancé. She was shot. Her name is Radha Rajput. The guard outside said she was taken in for an operation.’

Rishi got up. ‘Yes, I know. Can I please see some identification?’

Rahul stepped forward with a clenched fist. I put a hand on his shoulder and said, ‘I’m her sister, Siya Rajput.’ I rummaged in my tote bag and pulled out my driving license.

Rishi examined it and said, ‘Sorry for that. But we need to confirm the identity of patients’ emergency contact in a case like this. We have to be extra careful.’ He peeled out a form and said, ‘Please fill this up.’

Even I lost it at that moment. Going through such formalities was the last thing I wanted to do when Radha was inside. I glared at Rishi and said, ‘I’m a lawyer. I know what’s supposed to be done. We’ll fill this up but please get us a doctor whom we can speak with.’

‘I’m on it,’ Rishi said and rolled his chair to the back end of his booth.

I scribbled out the form. Rishi emerged a minute later and said, ‘Please go to the third floor. There’s a doctor’s booth over there. They will tell you everything you need to know.’

I ran upstairs and found the booth Rishi was referring to. There was no other patient but a nurse walked up to us. She took us to a small waiting area. We could see the corridor leading up to the operating theatres just beyond it. A glass wall with blinds separated the two.

‘The victim was taken into the operating theatre,’ the nurse said. ‘It’s probably going to take a while. Please stay seated here,’ the nurse said and turned away.

‘Can we speak to someone who knows what’s happening?’ Rahul said.

‘I’m afraid no one is available. The two on-call doctors are inside the operating theatre. We’ve called two more to attend to other potential incoming patients. For now, you’ll just have to wait. We’ll let you know the moment we can.’

Rahul and I saw the nurse return to her booth. We sat still next to each other and waited. Rahul buried his face in his palms and broke down. I fought the tears from coming. Radha would have wanted me to be strong for Rahul. I rubbed his back as he leaned forward, keeping his elbows on his knees.

‘I’m afraid I won’t ever see her again, Siya,’ Rahul said.
