FATE & DESTINY

“Don’t worry. This is what I want him to stop at once.”
“For our baby’s sake, please.”
“Don’t worry. He would continue with his obscene manner if I don’t.”
Mr. Ngawang visited us the next day. “How’s the baby?” he asked.
“Improving.” I glanced at Dr. S.K. Mitra standing beside him. “We have a situation, sir.”
“What is it?”
“I think the surgeon is ignoring my baby’s treatment. He is rude to us. We can’t ask him anything.”
“Why should they get angry? We’re paying.”
I glanced at Dr. S.K. Mitra over my shoulder. He hung his head in silence. In the ward, he dressed our baby’s
wound and said, “We will discharge the baby two days later.”
Mr. Ngawang said, “That’s pleasant news for you.”
Choki and I exchanged glances and said in unison, “Of course, sir.”
Two days later, the nurse gave us the documents and said, “You can take your baby home in the evening.”
“Where is Dr. S.K. Mitra?” I asked. “Is he coming?”
“I don’t know,” she said. “He instructed me to discharge your baby.”
Sad, we had to walk out of the ward without thanking Dr. S.K. Mitra.
