"Vasu, Vasu, wake up", it was Ganesh's voice. I cursed him for disturbing the sweet dreams.
"What's this baba, early morning?". I woke up cursing him.
Ganesh was standing near the window. "Come its urgent!", he was anxious.
I dressed up and went out, "What is the matter, heaven fall down?", I asked.
"Look in this paper, there has been an accident, some jeep collided at a culvert and fell off it", Ganesh showed me a paper.
"Oh, its nothing some guys drove madly in the heavy rain, most probably the liquor lobby", I was calm.
"No, look at the number, its KLX 2323, the jeep at our junction, I doubt your brother traveled last day in it", Ganesh's face was grim.
I was shocked, what to do then?. "Don't tell to his wife or your mother, better we two go there and enquire, perhaps your brother was not in it", Ganesh passified me.
So I went out after waking up Geetha who was still sleeping but dressed properly. "I will make tea", she said.
"No, Ganesh has some emergency problem, I will come back after two hours", I started with Ganesh.
We took an autorikshaw and reached the accident spot, which was ten kilometers away from my house. The jeep was damaged and I doubted if the causalities were alive. We went to government hospital and enquired. The nurse read the name of patient, the driver was alright with a few fractures, but the other name was of my brother. My head spinned, Ganesh supported me, when we saw my big brother in I.C.U my heart broke. He was completely surrounded by doctors, nurses and only his face was visible. Plasters, needles, glucose trips, blood bags oxygen cylinders and what not, he was seriously ill.
After the initial shock was contained, I asked the doctor about his condition.
"Oh, he will survive, but I don't think he can walk, both thigh bones are broken, spinal chord is also damaged, he will be alive but I prefer the other way", he gave his verdict in cold voice.
So we returned in the same autorikshaw to home.
The driver of jeep was discharged and he asked me to take him to his house, as he had to arrange the jeep to be lifted, it had no proper registration.
On our way he started cursing my brother, "your brother, that idiot, I told him to stop and rest in the rain, but he wanted to go to that cheap lodge, to fuck those boys ,aren't he ashamed, married to the best chick in this village and still going to fuck some dirty ass, fully drunk, what a rogue!!, all the way he was singing abusive songs cursing goddess Kali, I told him not to play with goddess name. He was singing that fucking song about goddess, I expected the God would punish him someday, but now the god's office is fully computerized and the sinners get their reward immediately. At the very instant the jeep slipped, I applied brake but your brother, that idiot jumped out and rolled downward", he was cursing.
What should I reply, I knew he was serious, I knew the driver's dilemma, his jeep is not insured nor registered, security officer will make him answerable for all misdeeds and possibly exploit a large sum of money as cover up charges.
