Sense of Duty

Sense of duty

Ramona with her proper negligent attitude towards the road crossed the track of the road that stood , still, to remain alert the unconscious people to be careful in crossing the road with their awareness and on the pedestrians of the crossing she shouted , with her loud voice, to get some help “stop ,stop your vehicle” , so car painted with white colour on being out control on itself and its speed directly clashed over the wall in safety zone. A not so young but tall man containing his heavy body came from the car when the glass window was gone into total damage and crushed like dust which bringing heavy loss on the body structure of car. The man who was driving the car was gone into senseless and lying like death with red and pink flesh that came out due to the crush in the morning , was trying to say something. The confused people got pain seeing the red and pink flesh crushed under the wheel of luck, started to run to get admission in the hospital where another group of people declared their strike because according to their claim hospital was not conscious to take care people in the proper way. On that cause the people who was trying to save the wounded man , did not get chance to give admission for that bloody senseless man. Ramona ,looking the darkness of the day that was ranged with the extreme pain in front of her eye, went to the spot where harassed people were anxious to take him into hospital and she could remember g her memory of the morning that she shouted non sensically to save herself and by the not doubt , no meaning she threw that blameless life. It was quite natural to her and it was her sense of duty that she had to save the life of that man who was counting to come to an end with his bloody injury on his body and who was with closed eyes like speechless keeping her face towards the charming morning sun. He was the man of innocent and unknowingly fell from his car to the way of death. Like a panic hare she ran towards to the man whose face was impossible to be seen by other and stricken by a horrible fear and a sense of anguish she stood on the road where dusty stone with its harshness,caused the pain of head of the man, hard boulders with its black colour signifying the darkness of the way and on the instances of cruel hurt to the man ,stopped the motion of her. She lightened the big burden of pain from the mind that only was broken for the man. But she was trapped with the foolish act of some vagabonds who bringing a peculiar laugh on their mouth did teasing her from the quite distance of the place where a piteous looking woman , grave looking lady who being restrained on her pathos of the day stood nothing telling and was unable to say or shout for other to know the condition of man. A vast barrier of crowd prevented the vision of the woman. Her world amidst those storms of people was unclear and unseen like dark lightless night. Her world was trapped with the grey light from where the light of the day was fully seen but her aim which was centred to see the man was not visible. Her intention of the heart was crushed under the crowd of the people but she did not want to get failure keeping her notice at the direction to which the man lied down without telling anything because to his mind, to his sense, to his limbs the whole world was unfelt and dark. Many men fell their kind notice on him but some of them due to their stubborn nature prevented to attend him in the hospital to get a new life.

Shout in loud voice was found everywhere. From that, a pinch of silent was difficult to be found.Around the hospital agitated people who had, perhaps, lost cool state of their mind due to the death of one little child by the misguidance of the doctor. They coursed to kill the doctor or wanted to send them into the prison. Their course was as clean as water but inflexible anger and agitation prevented them to know the serious of the closed eyed man who blamelessly and unknowingly faced a danger condition in his life.

Ramona , not being capable to keep on herself vibrated with the sense of morning guilt , crushed under the conscience ,blown with anguish that was unexpected, tried to enter in the middle of the crowd,

“ Please people, please allow me to go. Now he need a special treatment .Why you don’t understand the pain of him that was till then felt to the man due to his little sense of limbs that kept alive him without treatment. It was his good luck that coursed to alive him. A new life was, that time, waiting for him to introduce a new phase of life where days light was waiting to come.”



Curses of the considerable confusion stung the mind of the people ,stopped the spirits of their work and opposed them to stand on their insensible talking where safety from the danger was found rarely. The road which was made from the black pitch was wet with blood on it s stony structure. The tune of sadness spreading its invisible branch on the head of the people stayed for long hours. The heart of Ramona received a dangerous fright where she could easily find , the death of the man was not kept so far if a special treatment was not given for him. She fastened her leg to walk towards to direction of home where melancholy song of bird trapped her heart with sense that perhaps impending danger was near to them, where the stone of the road indicated, the black burn of her fate was waiting to sting her and her attempt to complete the duty, where a dried stock of boulders caused to injure her leg with blood and threatened her that it was only presence of her with good treatment, was required except that, life of man was not far to go into the world of dark , the world of silent death from where life does not come again. Her body was stung with tiredness and stung with a dangerous quiver that did not allow her to go fast by running but it was seemed to her that her destination was quite far from her. Her senses and nerves were benumbed, the motion of leg due to the choked nerves was unable to run fast and her voice was dried with stung of wild wind which was howling as the mourning plaintive song of the day. But she did not lose her spirits because she knew that on her attempt one life can get new life, on her treatment one life can see the light of life, on her kindness one life can get return back his world which can be filled with the many resources of joyful day. Reaching at the door of home she became unable to unlock the lock . Taking big stone that was glittered with the black colour she started to beat and beat. After one hour she broke the lock. Many struggles in every way stood to prevent her day but her patience to take them as a challenge ,so, the cruel struggle of the way nodded in front of her. Without seeing nowhere from the corner of the house she took a first aid box where she put bandage, dettol and savlon, a very good ointment , cotton and taking some pain killers in her hand she also put in her box and in the final consideration it was seemed to her that she had to take the some medicines prescribed by the famous doctor. A fright was hovered on her that without giving dried medicated powder the blood will not get clod so, she felt to take dried medicated powder. On the cause of over bleeding the young had lost many blood so, Ramona took two bottles blood and taking some shrill pipes to give blood she went away from the house. A hard lock made from iron steel she hang on the door. A dense dark green tree with the pleasures of spring morning with its big trunk as if, said , “ Good luck, brave girl , you have to reach in your destination to save a life. Saving life is the most important work of life that will be one day, rewarded by the God”. A bless of the morning she got from the tree and that taking on her head went to the way where a dull but tall creepers coming from the long tree came to her on the way and it wished the success of the lady.

She , seeing at the morning sun got spirits to walk fast on the hard chest of the road where a tall dull building with its crackly body and damaged head inspired her to enter into it where she could find one ironed bed dignifiedly decorated with old bed that would help to carry the man to a safety place. Beside the building a white church raising its head in the blue cloudless sky , with the glimpse of morning sun beams rang out its bell and drew the attention of Ramona who was walking fast not giving up hope to save one blameless life that was crushed under the morning curse due to her foolish shout. The man lied down on the hard chest of rocky road without treatment and although people drew a pity in their mind for him but was not welcomed to get a good treatment even his most critical time of life. The ring of bell penetrating gloomy air and the sound of vehicle entered into the ears of Ramona and opposed Ramona to enter it. The lines of upset were drawn on her fore head and the song of the bird, as if, laughed at her with its attempt to mock Ramona but in the contrary Ramona was the deep believer of the God and before starting critical work of her life she leaned herself in front of the God, so on such critical condition she, with tears of eyes ,knelt down in front of the gate of the church which was closed. She prayed to Him in her pair of hand .”A helpless lady who from the early in her any work always ,remember you and you give her spirits to overcome her critical turn of life. Today, your devotee, on the course of life, unknowingly has brought critical condition for a man who was blameless and innocent and now, was struggling for his life. O, my God please help me. Don’t make me failure on my work, “praying half and hour she said when father was not seen on the ground. Suddenly she could find keeping a patience on herself that a bitch was unable to stand up properly on its right leg and fell down on the floor of grassland. A broken rusted iron rod from the roof of the church fell on its leg and it started to bark with its painful crying voice, as if , one helpless was crying for help for its safety, and her shrill body was feeling a great tremor as its leg received a pathetic wound A pity and kindness were arisen in the mind and heart of Ramona and she feeling bad and taking love for the creature went to the bitch and without keeping restrain on her cry she arranged to weep with her hot tear. She cleaned its damaged leg with dettol and after taking its leg on her hand she softly and gently poured ointment. With clean intention of mind, she kept bandage and tied its leg with great care. The bitch got a comfort when it shook its leg to walk. Its tears from eyes which were ignored by many cruel, now , were stopped with the touch of Ramona.

But amidst these pleasures she could hear plaintive murmur rose from her heart due to the morning’s sad accident that sadden the charming glow of morning light. The sounds of her mind which were hesitating and vague spoiled her journey by stopping it. She stepped noiselessly although the surrounding of the morning was infested with sonorous sound done by the work of working people. But her heart received immense hole of pale and pain where standing she only could find the darkness of the day where a man was perhaps waiting for her t o get a new life. A gust of chill air touched her all senses and limbs and made a prevent to go forward but her the flame of her nursing mind evoked her to reach the spot. Humming of insects under the shadow of creak tree as if, inspired her to go fast to save one life. She started to walk fast keeping the oath for him in her soft and pitiful mind where love for human and song for the safety of the human was sung out. She passed many barriers of the green trees being every eager that insisted upon her spirits to the day. Then she passed many creepers where glow of twinkling flowers with the crimson glow of the morning sun attracted her notice with great attention to admire it and to have it. She not keeping restrain on herself with the pain and pleasures, with the sense of duty and with the sense of love went to take it which she surrendered to legs of Him for the safety of the man.

“o, God, I don’t know him properly but I can feel her pain through my heart. Please empower me with your power of doing well. Please make me able to save him,” murmured she when she was picking flowers. Gazing at the morning glory of the church she went to the church ,a place in where she could find the taste of satisfaction.Openiing the gate of church she, like blind, nodded her head in the leg of Jesus. A silent bell with its smoothing and charming sound rang out. It was not the sound of alert but the linnet sound which indicated her victory was not far from her. A darling daisy flower with its charming shake glittered and pleased her. But in the mean time vaulted three time a bird with its wounded and bloody wings fell down in front of Ramona and “Help, help” as if , she shouted. She seeing it due to her kindness for the bird, came to the bird and took ,with her deep vibration of pain in mind, and put it on the palm of her hand. Under the scrubby tree she sat with her deep observation where the wound was found. A senselessness hovered on it ,it eyes were closed, its beak was not quite broken, feathers were wet with the red blood which came on its body by recent attack of any big stone thrown by any wanton. Breathing was only contained in its body and whole senses of the body were stopped to breath. She washed its wings with fresh water which was brought by her from the home, then poured detol and cleaned its blood on feathers with water, then poured ointment and in the final she tied its wound with bandage. Then kept it in front of the door of church and she left the church.

Morning reached at its end, the sun approached in the head of her , the chill gust of wind was stopped ,but the course of the way of her was not finished. She stepped leg with agreeable speed announcing that the morning was going to be finished. A big crowd of the market she passed with her speed of leg , a dusty path with its cloud of dust she finished , rambling vehicles with the contain of their black smoke and their loud sound she passed, she also passed dense trees topped with the shaking leaves shaken by the gentle but chill wind of winter that blogged her walking and at last she passed the people who had gathered to pick ration of the day. But this crowd was unshifftened, so it was difficult for Ramona to cross them loosening their concrete line. Increasing the speed of leg she started to deny people’s line and loosening their line she crossed them but many of them cursed her bitterly. She avoided all the harsh words by people and she reached the end of the road where the morning accident was occurred with the conduct of bitter luck.

A crowd was now loosened. Many people doing nothing with hard attempt, being lost of patience ,left the place and under a banyan tree the wounded man lied down with its senseless limbs and wounded bloody body, closed eyes proved that t he was going to stop his breathing. Ramona taking her first aid box. She lit the fire of anger in her mind , filled he two eyes with water which automatically came in her eyes, taking his injured head on her head she murmured, “O God what am I seeing? In front of my eyes a man was going to stop his valuable breathing. Please , O,my Jesus help me to cure his pain and save his life.” She kept the man on the stature where she gave the comfortable bed , carefully she started to clean his blood with fresh water only praying in her mind to the god for the safety of the man. She stitched the his injured head with bad bleeding. Keeping some ointment and beta dine she tied his every wournd.A speechlessness blew over her insisted with the painful mind. From the bag she kept out a needle for injection and gently pushed it on his body. A helplessness on its dare to come blew over her. She stood to get result of her service which was breathed by the call of crow and repeated call of the sparrows which were busy to peck their food. The spring sky saved her not giving her an extreme hot. A cloudless day there was and the cloud did not dare to come to her to wash her hard work to save life. Tension done by the crowd was lightened, shout of the confusion by the voice of the people was overthrown from the place that made easier her work. With the perfect gaze at the cloudless dazzling sky she stood silent , on her state of pain.

Suddenly she noticed, the one hand of the man was responding with gentle vibration, then his leg was shaken , then another hand received a gentle shake. After that man vibrated his two lips and his two eyes loaded with tear were in try to open. In the final vibration, the man widely opened his two lips. Became puzzled at the look of woman, he asked,” why I am in here. I know ,I fell down with heavy vault. I lost my sense, then what was happened, I don’t know, and where is my car? Why can’t I see?”

“ I became cause of your accident, “ being paler than previous she told.

“ Sorry I could not remember as I was in senseless,” with a gust of satisfaction he said and started to rise again and again but smashed limbs and stumbling body did not allow him to sit after arisen from the bed. Like boneless he lied down on the bed. Expectation of him was that an expectation was to stand up picking his pained neck. He wanted to see a face who talked with him when he fell down and gave him a rescue from a terrible danger that could cause to seize his life .A shake of intention to see her who saved his life and gave a new life for him. But to him it was impossible to see her. His eyes were resulted to see a flash of her face. A comfortable bed that was made for him to get relief stabilization, he led to sleep with closed eyes. A sleep hovered on him .Like before he slept and Ramona shifted his bed which was attached with a statures to the asylum .A big hall was opened for him and also a neat and clean room was provided for him. A place of solitude sensualised the glory of place where staying was comfortable and more easier to sit. Big ,dense and dark green pines, and banyan gathered together to make a shadow land where spreading a day a traveler got satisfaction with its chilly wind. Flowery garden where many flowers glorified for the attraction, remained sonorous with the humming of insects. From day to dusk flying butterflies tracked for the place an impression. The man casted a chance to spend, from morning to evening, among them. A special treatment brought for him for his quick by the direction of Ramona. But he felt pain on being the absence of the lady , so he like a traveler of lost way , searched the lady who saved him and gave him a new life.

She in dressed in nurse announcing herself that she was not only server of the man but she was nurse of the God. She came having shrill body with rosy face where her lips were painted with the red colour gifted by the God. She was wearing a black long skirt and black top on it. A stripe of white was around from the throat to neck. A cap like nurse she wore on her head and white socks and skate she wore in her two legs. A tray with medicines, scissors, and bandage she strongly caught. With one hand she took tray and another hand she took a group of roses. Silently and slowly she entered into the room of the man who was in his morning sleep, so without disturbance , she left the place after decorating the room. A sweet smell sucked, by the air, through the soft gentle breeze entered into the nose of the man and that provoked him to be awaken. He asked, a devotee,” who kept this flowers and smiled gently, being quite eager to know about the woman ,”

This is given to you by Ramona Mama.

“Can I meet her?”

“Yes, Sir, she came at eight o” clock.

Ramona left the place but not left the spot. A blue horizon where a big banyan tree hanging its trunks stood with its gentle shake of leaves, Ramona was standing there. From the window which was like opened casement the gentle man saw that lady dressed in nurse with the freshness of the face, from where a ray of decency and lights of kindness were seen. The man could understand that lady would be perfect match to him. The man in spite of resistance of his lame legs went to look the woman from very near .Difficulty with heavy vibration of body, hands and lame legs he reached to the lady. Keeping constant smile on his face, told

“I want to talk with you,”

First Ramona stood in speechless what should she tell as she was confused.

“Yes, what do you want?, She said with a smile on her face.

“Please, don’t tell me no,””At first to you have to tell me, yes.”

With sparkling eyes the man looked fixedly at her.

“ I want to marry you.”

She shook her head with the agreement-“Yes.”

“o,thank you so much, morning sun you are great. I love you, Green banyan tree.O, little lovely rose, you are great, so much.” He lost into the boundless joy. A relation with love and friendship was started. A day of joys and glad hovered on them. Sitting in the garden they spent very valuable times.

“We come to near to each other. Then we will get marry, Then you will get long holiday from your work as a nurse,” said he with his two closed eyes.”

But a strike of shock was risen in the mind of her, where she got a danger pain from the man whom she was going to marry, did not understand her. She could bear her detachment from her work as a nurse. She could n’t leave her job where she makes the world with love of human who fell in danger. The meaning of her life was centered with her work as nurse. She wrote a letter to the man and she wrote.”Nursing is my heart. One nurse does not give birth but helps to give birth a mother. Nurse shows a mother the light of life. A nurse takes her all pain when she finds that a mother gets a pain. A nurse can love human, saves one life. Without nurse the man cant get light of life.With a selfish like I cant marry. Forget me and don’t try to search me.”
