This is a short story that will continue in subsequent series, i hope you enjoy it and give your opinion about it.....
Dr Jamac looked at the fragile body on the stretcher for the fourth time. This was the body of a young lady who was found on the outskirt of the vilage. There were large bruises that were visible on the young girl's face. What attracted the Dr's attention was the innocent eyes on that bruised face-the eyes of Aamino.
"move this patient to the surgical room now" the Dr orders the nurse attendant.
He has never seen a patient like this girl during his proffesion as a Doctor. On examining the girl, he found out the extent of the pain this young girl went through when she looked at him the first day she was admitted in his care.
She had no relatives who visited her. She had no name and above all she could not talk. Now,how can he tell her that she will never be able to walk again? As he stood near the bed, the eyes again cought his attention, fixed on him as if they were calling him, imploring him....
"She had a visitor today, Dr" the nurse interupts him.
"an old lady, said that she was bringing the girl's luggages"
"her mother?" the Dr asks the nurse.
"No, in fact she said she gave this girl a shelter for a couple of nights and never seen her again until she saw the girl's photo on the paper".
He contacted all the police stations in the area, hoping to find information about her. He posted her pictures on all the national newspapers. And so far, no one identified her.
It has become his habit these days to go back to the hospital after-hours, sitting beside the bed, looking into these sad eyes, hoping that she will break the silent walls around her life.
What worried him most was that she would be discharged tommorow and the inescapable fact that this girl had no where to go and no one to take care of her. He discussed this matter with the General Superintendant about this, hoping to extend her stay in the hospital untill her relatives are found.
But the General Superintendent told him that she will be taken to the shelter where she can stay until her relatives are found.
"But, this girl is so vulnerable and needs proper care" He argued.
"There are proffesional staffs working for the shelter. I hope they will do the best they can for her" The Superintendant replied
"You understand that we need space for other patients, hope you understand the hospital's policies"
"To hell with the hospital's policies" his inner mind bursted out as he marched out of the Superintendant's office.
To be continued********
I hope you enjoy the first series of this story.
