After the 1-hour meeting is finished, he checks the camera.

SHE IS NOT THERE.

CHAPTER 38

Mayil's eyes wander around as she sips the soup very comfortably and scans everything silently. She looks at the CCTV camera in front of her, which is her center of attraction nowadays.

Why would anyone want to keep an eye on her? So he is keeping an eye on my every move. What exactly does he want? Here, no nurse, compounder, or doctor talks to me except to inquire about my condition. What is his motive? Why did he not come out in the light? I will neither give up so easily nor will I allowmyself to be imprisoned like this. I know that tomorrow I am going to be discharged, and I have to do something today. I have to do it today at any cost."

The nurse comes to Mayil and starts giving her medicines. Mayil is well aware of which medicine makes her sleepy. Often, she is noticing things so well that she is given extra medicine at night. due to which she sleeps at night, maybe because once she sleeps at night, she doesn't wake up. She is pretty sure she is being given drugs or is being given sleeping medicine.

Mayil starts taking medicines one by one so that she can get a comfortable chance to avoid taking this sleeping pill in any way. The nurse is standing nearby, so she finally puts the sleeping pill in her mouth and immediately hides it under her tongue, then drinks water, which makes the nurse feel that she has taken all the medicine very comfortably.

She is left alone in the same room. She constantly looks at the camera and is mentally smiling a lot, as she has come to the washroom a while back after cleaning her mouth and flushing the medicine.

I am not going to be in your custody at all. Whatever you do, even if you catch me this time, I will try to run away again. I will try to run away for the third time. I will try to run away for the fourth time. But one day, I will definitely run away after getting rid of you. I have to go to my parents, who must be waiting for me. And whoever you are, you will rot in hell. Those who take away one's children from their parents can only find a place in hell. You don't even know what you have tried to take away from me. My curse will always bother you. You will never be able to be happy. If someone snatches your child from you forever, then you will know what the pain of losing a child is. You have hurt my parents. You will be hurt too.

She is silently staring at the camera, screaming her words in her heart, and the truth is that if that person comes in front of her, she wants to kill him. She lies down quietly, and within a short time, she realizes that there is no movement of any kind outside. Whoever is checking her with the camera will take some time to come here. This time is enough for her because, in so many days, she has checked very well what she has to do.

Taking it very carefully, she tries to see around her exactly what the situation is. Fearing nothing will work here. She has to show courage and get out of here. She is quite sure that they will definitely try to catch her again, but she will definitely try to run away from here as much as she can.

She looks at the camera while lying down. He doesn't know why she has such a feeling; perhaps that person sitting on the monitor after finding her sleeping may have stopped looking at her by chance. Even if this illusion is true, she has to take advantage of this fact.

She goes to the washroom, which is currently on the first floor. The windows of the washroom open outward, she goes in and closes the door tightly, and she puts the buckets next to the door, which she has already filled with water.

The window of the washroom is not very big, but she has the full idea that she can easily get out of here because Mayil is very thin.

She climbs on the commode and looks outside. That window is opening into the garden behind the hospital; her heartbeat has become too fast because there is nothing to get down on the other side. If she lands there, she will have to jump straight from there, due to which she may get hurt or worse.

Her body has completely come out of the window, and she is hanging by holding the window well. She closes her eyes and says it softly.

"I love Mumma Papa."

She immediately leaves the window and falls quickly towards the grassy ground. The hand on which she was burned falls on the same hand where the bandage was still on, and she starts to feel a lot of pain, but she does not allow her voice to come out of her mouth at all and looks after herself.

"I am okay."

More than her pain, she is getting pleasure from the fact that her leg is not hurt at all, so she can run as fast as she wants. She tries to look at her surroundings while moving forward; this is a totally unfamiliar place.

"Where I am..."

She is questioning herself because there is no one to answer. She has to get out of here, so she comes towards the main gate. But there are too many guards there. How did she get out of here? She is thinking that only then will many people start leaving from there because the time to meet the patient is over, and then all the people will be leaving after meeting their patients.

She immediately hides between them, walks with them, and easily gets out of the hospital. She looked at them and was shocked. In the hospital room, she had no idea that she was in an unknown foreign country because, till now, only Indian doctors and nurses had come to check on her. But seeing all these people here, her heartbeat is running like a horse, and tremors are felt.

She is still walking with the crowd, and all are foreigners. This is very shocking, and she asks a woman who is walking with her.

"Ma'am, can you tell me the name of this place? ... "

The woman looks at Mayil from top to bottom. Seeing the surroundings there and seeing the people, she has guessed so much that she is not in India at all, but she has no idea where she is.

"Well, you are in Manchester right now, young girl."

"Manchester..."

She repeats her words; everybody leaves, but she is still standing there. She starts looking around her. The place, the people—everything is completely unknown. Even if she talks to someone or asks for help, what to say to them, or what she can do, she does not understand anything. She is now crying over her helplessness, but she does not want to lose her courage.

She rapidly increases her speed and starts forwarding her steps. She doesn't know what to do, but she has to get away from here before they find out she has already eloped. She needs the help of the police, whether they are trustworthy or not. What exactly does she do? She is only walking without a particular destination.
