The waiting was hard, but it was all Santosh could do. Images of his new bride, now in the hospital, flooded his mind.
Standing up suddenly, he brushed his shock of black hair back, went to the window, and looked out blindly. The world was racing towards its goalless future. He couldn’t care less now about others. Only the present mattered.
Suddenly, he felt a touch on his shoulder. He turned, and smiled in joy. “Amala! Wait … how are you here?”
She laid a finger to her lips.
The door opened. The surgeon entered, face sombre.
The room spun around.
