Looking at the wrist watch,running and worrying if the doctor would be available,I ran into a person at the hospital.I shouted "can't you see??".
He's about his 22 fat,white and dressed in loose black pants and a fullsleeves white shirt.
"Can't you see??"
"fat fucking moron!!" I added.
He replied laughing and with pride in his tone."Oh yes.I can see."
Trying not to reply to such a head strong fool, I entered and found out the doctor had already left.With sweat flowing down my fore head I went to the water tap to drink some water.
"hey Rajesh" said a voice from behind.I turned back and found that its my Dad's collegue Ravi.I greeted him and we both moved to sit in the lawns.
The fat moron who ran into me at the entrance was in the lawns pulling out grass from the lawns.People around were laughing at him.He suddenly saw us, dropped the grass that's in his hand and started heading straight to us with a water bottle in his hand.Looking all around in the sky,laughing to himself and with red rose flowers in his hand he headed straight to me dashing people in the lawns not caring to what they said.I prepared myself to move away from that fat thing.He came by us and started giggling and pointing the water bottleto Ravi uncle and turning it upside down and back again he said
"Dad.See this.."
His behaviour is childish to his age.Then I understood he's mentally ill.I felt sorry for him.I looked at uncle and said "Oh now.Is he cured??"
"I think we have to be in the hospital for a day or two"
After a chat for 10mins with him,I started walking away feeling sorry for Ravi uncle for having a child whos mentally unwell.
I went back to the hospital again after 4 days,this time earlier than before.With few papers in my hand I started waiting at the reception table for a doctor certificate.
A person ran into my legs and fell down,and while lifting him up I found out its Ravi uncle's mentally ill son.feeling pity about his condition I picked the papers that dropped from his hand.I was surprised as he apologised. He then went to the receptionist and asked "So.Is there any other formality??.Every thing done.?"
A pat from back and its ravi uncle.
Poiting his son I said "He's looking fine.So every thing fine with him???," I paused and added "in 4 days!!??"
Ravi uncle replied "Yes.Hes good now.He was taken good care by the doctor.I was worried if he wold become normal again.Thank god.He can see now."
"See??what?? "I said.
"He was blind.Got his eyesight four days back after 20 yrs of darkness.Oh!!!you remember the other day??.He got his eye sight the very same morning.He was really thrilled looking the world,the flowers,water and all.thank god." he said.
Then,I wondered, who was in darkness.
"The fat moron or myself?"
