7 Days

              Friday Morning :
        "Grrrr.........." my alarm clock sounded, broke my sleep abruptly. I saw the clock with half opened eyes and the timing was 8:30 am. I was feeling very sleepy because i couldn't  sleep whole night and was thinking constantly about health of youngest brother ( Yesterday i was informed that he was hospitalized  because of severe jaundice and he was so weak few bottles of saline were used ) and was not in mood to go office, but i was forced to come as there was an issue with client and i had no option. In office too, i was  constantly thinking about him "how did happen to him??, He is so careless, never eats proper foods. How is my mom and dad ......". "Sandeep..." i was interrupted, boss called me. He showed me the actual bug in software and wanted to be fixed urgently, and he tried to pressurized me as much as possible and yet again i had no choice. Also i tried to engage my self in work. After few minutes, i got phone call from younger brother Sudeep, "We need you, come urgently."  I felt shocking wave and my tension increased 100 times, "there  must be some serious problem " constantly it was coming in my mind and i had to leave as quickly as possible. I made reservation on Air India using traveling portal and flight was on sunday. After putting few hours, i finally managed to fix the bug and came out from office at 8:30 pm.

        Saturday :
        I was feeling helpless, could not be doing any thing. I was bombarded with all short of feelings, sometime negative and sometime positive. I was consoling myself  "Need not worry, he would be alright. Its our bad luck". Entire day i felt restlessness, any how i slept early because i had to catch flight in early morning.

        Sunday :
        I woke up at 5:30 am, hurriedly got ready and with my best effort i managed to reach at airport on time. The flight was indirect. First i had to go Delhi and then from Delhi to Ranchi but without changing plane. It was approximately 4:55 hrs of journey, however it was Air India and offcourse national carrier. How we can expect reaching on time. As per our expectation our flight got delayed 2.5 hrs. Journey was tired and frustrating. I thought its name should be changed to Bhagwaan Bharoose. I reached Ranchi at 4 pm, my cousin sister came to pick me and she drove me to hospital directly without any delay. On the way, i fired some questions on sister to clear my confusion and i got some positive answers which calmed my tensed mind that was much needed however that lasted for few minutes. After reaching hospital, i saw my parents were very depressed, although till now i was unaware of actual problem or illness, i consoled my parents as much as possible in positive way. It was 7:30 evening, my brother called to come with him to see Rajdeep and before entering hospital, he whispered "It is too late and surviving percentage is only 2 or 3. Doctors have responded negatively, anything is possible now". "Anything" i screamed, "Oh God !!!!! Why u did not tell me ?? what happened to him?? ". I was shaking so hard after hearing, i couldn't stand for while and sat on outside hospital pavement. "He is suffering from Hepatic Encephalopathy, deadliest disease, next 48 hours are very crucial for his survival, if he survives then we have some chance to save him" said while crying and that could not stop me from crying with him. We hugged each other but could not stop crying, then i saw sky said "Please God save him, take eveything from me but just save him". "It happened due doctors negligence and basically drug induced" he continued and "Everything thing depends on God now" he ended after telling series of events that led to this situation. I was shocked and traumatized. "See him alive today bhai, tomorrow it might be late" he concluded chat. I said him in reply "Bhai, we would see his smile once again, nothing would happen to him. God could not do this to us". Finally after taking some rest, i entered the hospital, went to ICU and saw him. He was lying on bed eye closed and i could see his skeleton very clearly (lost high weight), his body was shaking very hard (typical symptoms of Hepatic Encephalopathy ), he had shrunked little bit. He was on life supporting machine (ventilator) and he was survived till now because of that machine only. My patience gave up,  i came out of hospital while weeping and Sudeep followed me. Unfortunately today was my birthday.
