If Only III (Gama) : The Accident

If Only III : The Accident

 Gama

15 October 2009

I was at home when Anil called. He sounded in lot of pain. His message was short and clear. He was met with an accident, hurt his leg, was in hospital and needed my help immediately. I peddled through the late evening traffic, avoiding the major roads to reach the hospital. I asked at reception, searched the entire floor, finally I found him general ward on bed. He handed over me his home key and asked me to bring money from his computer table. Hospital wanted him to deposit money for the X-ray and stuff. His parents wont be able to get there till another couple of hours. It must have taken me another half an hour to collect money from his home. Once I reached the hospital again, I completed all the formalities for admission and he was moved to X-ray room. His parents arrived by the time we came to know about hairline fracture in his left leg. I moved out when he was telling his parents about the fall he had. Next day I tried to visit him but no one answered the door. When I reached home there was message from Anil to call me. 

'Hello.'
'You have keys to my house'. When I did not reply he added, 'I gave them to you yesterday to bring money.'
'Sorry.' I said,'I forgot.'
'Don't apologize asshole, just use them to get in the house.'
'ok ok.' I said before hanging up and paddling to his home.
