The final attack
CHAPTER 28
The final attack
Anand was brought into the house on
stretcher. Anand said to his mother, “Mummy, I want to pray in front of mother
Teresa’s photo.”
Rekha caressed his head kindly saying, “Ok,
my son.”
Rekha placed the stretcher in front of
Mother Teresa’s photo.
Anand requested to his mother saying, “Mummy,
get me the tape recorder. Place it in front of Mother Teresa’s photo.”
Rekha did all that he wished.
Anand said, “Put on the record button. I
want to record my prayer. And then please let me be alone for 10 mins.”
Rekha agreed. She put on the record button
and went out closing the door behind her.
Raghuram arrived and entered the house.
Vimal greeted him and they sat down to talk in the hall.
Rekha was in the kitchen. She took the rice
from the cooker and mixes sambar. It was still hot so she went to Anand’s room.
Anand had closed his eyes. Rekah switched off the tape recorder. Then she shifted
him from the stretcher to the bed. Rekha went to the kitchen.
After some time, Rekha went towards Anad’s
room with a plate of rice. As she entered the room; she was shocked to see
Anand. She screamed. Anand’s face had changed completely.
Raghuram and Vimal come inside the room
immediately. They too were shocked to see Anand’s face. Raghuram phoned to the
hospital. The doctors arrived and Anand’s room got converted into a hospital
room with all gadgets and so on. Doctors examined him. The shape of Anand’s
face had changed. He was not able to even open his mouth. Everyone was shocked
and watched Anand anxiously.
Since Anand had already become famous, the
news about what happened to him appeared on TV. People crowded around the
house. TV crew also had arrived.
Inside the house, Shrikanth was examining
Anand. He said, “Looks like he has suffered the final stroke. We can’t give
glucose since his body will not take it. There is life in his face muscles but
he is unable to open his mouth.”
The doctors sat in the hall for discussion.
The TV crew entered.
Journalist asked, “Sir how is the boy?”
Shrikanth was desperate. He said, “We can’t
understand the case. I am helpless.”
Shocked, Journalist asked, “Sir, you are a great
neurologist. How can you say you don’t know?”
Shrikanth got a bit angry. “Please you
people don’t disturb. Get out all of you.”
Shocked, Journalist asked, “Sir, why are
you getting angry?”
Another Journalist said, “Sir, the whole
world is waiting for the news. You are the specialist. You are the right person
whom we have to ask about the patient.”
Desperately, Shrikanth said, “Please I am
telling you. I am helpless. I tried my best. He is not able to open his mouth
even. We are unable to give glucose. We are helpless.”
Tears filled in his eyes. He said, “I am
just praying to god like an ordinary man, even though I am a doctor.”
People were watching TV anxiously. Anand had
touched everyone’s heart. All were praying for him sadly.
Sindu was sitting in front of the TV in her
house listening to everything. Avinash had explained everything about what was
happening. Her mother brought food. But Sindu refused to eat anything.
“Mummy, I don’t want anything. See, look at
Anand. He can’t eat anything. Even Avinash is in death bed.”
TV Reporter said, “Anand is in a very
serious condition. Today is the 3rd day since he ate anything.
Doctors are unable to give him glucose. Anand’s condition is getting worse day
by day.”
At night, everyone was sitting silently
around Anand. Ravi entered the room. Shrikanth got up.
Anxiously, Ravi asked, “How is the
patient?”
Worried, Shrikanth said, “It is a puzzle.
We are unable to diagnose. We don’t know what to do. But see how he is suffering.”
Dr. Ravi examined him. He touched Anand’s
head. Anand clutched his teeth in pain.
Worried, Ravi said, “I think he is
experiencing hell. He is in a great pain.”
Rekha put her hand on her chest. She got up
and went to the prayer room.
Outside the house, Anand’s friends and well
wishers lit candles and shouted slogans. “Long live, Anand.”
Rekha was in the prayer room in front of
statue of Jesus.
Rekha prayed, “Oh God. Every mother wishes
for her child to live but I pray for his death. I pray to you to please relive
him from this suffering. Please give him death.”
Rekha came into the hall.
Anxiously, Shrikanth said, “Madam, come
soon. Anand’s pulse is going down. I think he has just a few seconds to live.”
Rekha went into the bedroom immediately and
put Anand’s face on her lap. Everybody was silent. They were waiting for Anand
to breathe his last. Just a few seconds were left. Suddenly, Anand’s face became
normal. He opened his eyes.
Anand requested, “Mummy, please put on the
tape recorder. Play the prayer I had recorded.”
Everybody was shocked to hear Anand’s
voice. Vimal went and switched on the tape recorder. At that very moment, blood
oozed out of Anand’s nose and mouth.
Shocked and sad, Shrikanth said, “It is
brain death.”
Suddenly, Anand’s voice was heard from the
tape recorder.
Anand (in tape recorder), “Mummy, please forgive me.
Nothing has happened to my face. I did it by myself. You know why? I wanted to
win the chess championship and give the trophy to you as my memory. But more
than that, I want Avinash to live. The championship is still one month away. I
thought that anyway I am going to die. If I wait for one month, Avinash will
die. So I am dying now itself. Please forgive me. I will always be grateful to
you, papa and coach for all that you people had done for me. After my death,
please give my kidneys to Avinash so that he will survive. Give my eyes to
Sindu as a birthday gift. Also give all my other organs to whoever needs them. Mummy,
please don’t think that I am dead. See me live in all these people.”

Avinash in serious condition
CHAPTER 27
Avinash in serious condition
Avinash was admitted in the hospital. Dr.
Shrikanth and Dr. Ravi were examining him.
Avinash’s mother, Vimal and Rekha were
waiting anxiously outside the OT. Vimal’s cell rang. Putting the cell to his
ear, Vimal said, “Hello, Avinash is still in the OT. He is very serious.”
Coach Raghuram was sitting near Anand with
cell at his ear. He was shocked to hear the news. Coach said, “How sad. I will
pass the cell to Anand. He is very anxious to know about Avinash.” He put the
cell to Anand’s ear.
Anand was worried. “Mummy, how is Avinash?
Is he very serious? I want to see him.”
Desperately, Rekha asked, “How will you
come?”
Anand pleaded with his mother saying,
“Please send the ambulance. I must see Avinash.”
Rekha tried to convince Anand not to come.
She said, “No, my son. I will see him and come to tell you all about him.”
Anand was not ready to listen. He was
desperate to go see his best friend. “No, Mummy, I must see him. He went
because of me only. He wanted to get chess board for me.”
Knowing very well that Anand will not take
no for an answer, Rekha got up and said, “Ok, I will send the ambulance.”
Ambulance stopped in front of Anand’s
house. Anand was placed in the ambulance on stretcher. Coach sat beside him.
Ambulance reached the hospital. Anand was
placed on a stretcher and moved towards the operation theatre. Raghuram went
with him. Avinash’s mother, Vimal and Rekha were waiting anxiously outside OT.
Dr. Ravi came out of the OT.
Anxiously looking at doctor, Anand asked,
“Doctor, how is Avinash?”
Avinash’s mother was most worried. She looked
at the doctor and asked, “Doctor, how is my son?”
Ravi looked at them sadly and said, “The
case is very serious. Both of his kidneys have failed. He needs kidney
transplant urgently. I can make him survive only for 5 days on dialysis. After
that I cannot do anything.”
Avinash’s mother cried loudly. Rekha took
her into her arms and consoled her. Anand was shocked and sad to see all this. He
blamed himself for what had happened. After all Avinash had gone to bring chess
board for him. He closed his eyes for a while and then turned to his mother and
said, “Mummy, Avinash will not die. He will survive. Just watch.”
A ray of hope arose on Avinash’s mother’s
face. She looked at Anand hopefully and said, “My son, I hope that what you say
will come true.”
Consoling her, Anand said, “Aunty, don’t
worry. Avinash is my best friend. He went out just for me. He will survive.”
Anand looked at his mother and said, “Mummy,
let us go to the church. We must pray for Avinash.”
Raghuram
took everyone to the church. They all prayed for Avinash.
