BuGgEd, LiTeRaLlY- 2

The woman at the help desk understood nothing of what Ajju was screaming. There came the lame manager guy Tintu, whom Ajju disliked the most. After a "lot" of Bengali "SH-OSH-WOSH" he led the four towards emergency room. Ajju was relieved that her agony is about to end. Those moments made her feel that she had hit a new level of endurance.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaHHHHH...
"Tintu ji doctor kahan hai?",Kuttan screamed looking at Ajju's tears..
"Abhi ayega Kuttan ji..."
A tall broad man walked into the room. He remotely looked like a professional. Ajju's hope of being relieved hit the rock bottom when she looked at the doctor yawning and sleepwalking towards her.
EM stood by Ajju, who was biting into her fist. Stna and Kuttan explained the situation in both English and Hindi to the doc, but Tintu's magical Bangla skills(or may be a mediocre local slang of the language) did the trick.
The doc now knew that Ajju had pain in her ear.
He switched on the little torch he had and checked her ear.
"The other one", said Ajju and turned to show her left ear.
The doctor was peering in for sometime and said," Its just Ear wax, Kuch nahi hai".
An irate Ajju screamed,"Well kuch nahi hai wouldn't be moving inside my ear da goiyala".
But the doctor was convinced that there was nothing wrong with Ajju's ear and she is just creating a scene.
"Anyways why don't you clean her ear so that we are sure nothing is actually wrong",suggested Kuttan.
The doctor blabbered stuff in Bengali which later Tintu translated that, there is no need for any cleaning and Ajju is perfect to go. More than the pain the doctor irritated Ajju.
Stna and Kuttan where hellbent in cleaning Ajju's ear so the doctor asked her to lie down on the stretcher-bed kinda thing in the room and reluctantly went to get the syringe.Stna and Kuttan went to the pharmacy near by to get the ear drops the giant doctor guy had prescribed.
Ajju thought ,"I am so not gonna lay down there", but a second later she perched on the bed giving in to the thing in her ear.
Then there was a strange light that lit up the room. It was like the scenes in movies where the heroine walks near by the hero, everything looked beautiful, even the disease carrying bed felt like a king size jumbo feather mattress.
A nurse was there to check on some reports, and saw Ajju crying. She enquired what was wrong. Though she knew only Bengali she was able to understand Ajju's pain. She checked in her ear and confirmed that there was something in Ajju's ear.
"Ha I told ya...", said Ajju
EM who had interpreted was the nurse's gestures said,"Just hold your breath and shut up, the nurse says that might bring out the buggy".
"Yeah may be I will die in the process so the bug will have a safe exit, are you out of your mind? What if that thing goes into my mouth? I'd choke to death".
"No you wont", said EM,trying to calm down Ajju.
"Oh yeah...that's so assuring",said Ajju, but she realized at least the nurse believes that she is not lying about the bug may be give her method a try. She held her breath and shut her mouth tight, but the pain was unbearable. She held EM's hand so tight that she started screaming in pain.
The nurse quickly poured few drops of water into her ear.
Suddenly Ajju felt tickly moving from inside to outside of  her ear.It worked....!!!!!!
The buggy was crawling out. In a matter of seconds Mr.Bug was ramp walking out of her ear. The nurse flicked it to the floor and was examining Ajju who sprung up immediately smiling.She thanked her guardian angel though the nurse understood nothing.
"It's gone..poye pochu",smiled Ajju.
At the same time Stna and Kuttan came into the room panting.
"Shoot the pharmacist is out",exhaled Kuttan.
"So is the bug",laughed EM.
"Enga anda doctor... stupid fellow Kuch nahi Kuch nahi nu sonnan. Ask him to look at this.Kuch Kuch Hota Hai",shouted Ajju whose abysmal Hindi made the rest laugh out.
Stna,EM and Kuttan gave the doctor a piece of their minds for his exceptional examining skills.
The four returned back in the same ambulance with Ajju explaining in detail bout the pain she had just endured.
It was 6.30 in the morning by then and a tender coconut vendor had set up his vehicle near the hostel. After thanking Tintu ji(this time even Ajju joined in) and decided to take a refreshing drink.
"Hey we haven't brushed... Never mind...",said Stna.
After having 2 coconuts each they decided to hit the bed.Stna and Kuttan where so lazy to climb up to their room they decided to sleep in the two beds of EM and Ajju. After taking precautionary measures like stuffing their ears with balls of cotton, the four laid down.
"Man.. a few months back did you think you would be helping out a complete stranger whom you thought was a snob,in the middle of nowhere,at the break of dawn?", asked Ajju to Stna and Kuttan.
"Nah....",they smiled.
"I cant believe we are actually having many wonderful memories in Helldia",piped up Stna.
"Wonderful? Really?",snared Ajju.
"Hey what if the buggy had nested in your ear?",asked Kuttan. The very thought scared Ajju and she started hitting Kuttan with her pillow.
They all laughed away to sleep and Ajju looked up and whispered "Thank you guys."
"Yeah just shut up",said Kuttan,EM and Stna, in unison.
This surely was one hell of an experience thought Ajju .Instantly a smile concaved, sighing she went to sleep.

BuGgEd, LiTeRaLlY

She walked down the aisle clad in dark red colour silk saree and in ruby embedded golden jewellery that synced perfectly with her attire.
A special wedding glow lit up her cute round face.
She wanted to catch a glimpse of the groom waiting for her at the altar(manamedai if you want)
Just as she was about to lift her head to look up
Aaaaahhhhhhh....
What the.....?
A searing shot of pain hit her in the ear and she fell down
She walked the same path once again and tried to look at the groom
AAAaaaaaaaahhhhh....
Son of a .....
More pain this time.
She gathered all her strength to look at her man but,
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaHHHHHHHHHHHH....
Final voice of pain.
Ajju woke up screaming.
She shook her head and gropped for her mobile, it said "Its 5.03 in the morning don't you have a life?"
She was sure something was in her ear and the worst part was it was moving. She let a ear bud sneak into her ear to check out whats wrong. It was even more painful so she gave up any self attempts and thought of waking up EM slepping beside her.
"Oye...wake up",Ajju called.
"What now?. You know am not a morning person. Why bother to wake me up?",blabbered EM in her sleep.
"Listen,there is something inside my ear and its paining like hell. I need your help lady.Please",pleaded Ajju.
"What? Your ear?",exclaimed a wide awake EM."Lemme check it out.Hmmmmmm, I see something black there. What is that?".
"Oh I forgot to get is profile data when it entered my ear, NOW DO SOMETHING",screamed Ajju.
EM was clueless. She always had some idea in her head but Ajju's screaming and pushing froze her brain.
"Hey Kuttan has tweezers may be we can get it from her and pull it out",suggested EM.
Ajju was hesitant initially because of a fallout with Stna, Kuttan's roomie the previus day over a silly issue.Her hesitation was kicked outta her conscience in 10 secs as the pain was unbearble.
EM dialed Kuttan's no, and gave a blank look.
"Sorry yar balance out"
"FOR THE LOVE O' GOD, call from my mobile", bellowed Ajju
"Hello Kutta...Hellloooo,Helllllllllllllooooo"
"Wha....wha...what cha want n dhe mornig?", said Kutta,obviously sleep talking.
"Hey can I borrow your tweezers? Can you bring it to my room? Like right now?" said EM.
"You wanna trim your eyebrows in the middle of the dawn? Are you frickin crazy?",screamed Kuttan who was highly disturbed to have woken to something as silly as a tweezer.
"Ha Ha Ha.... No No its not for me.Hey come on I had a threading just yesterday yar. Why would I be needing it?" laughed EM.
"Big picture people. Crying in pain", an irritated Ajju roared.
EM explained the situation to Kuttan and with in a matter of few seconds Kuttan came down with her mani-pedi set. EM extracted the tweezers and tried to pull out whatever that was inside Ajju's ear.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
"Do not show your surgical skills on my ear please" cried Ajju.
"This a'int working. We gotta get some help.Wait Stna has the Hostel Manager's number.We can get some help from him.",suggested Kuttan and ran upstairs  to her room
Ajju's sarcastic mind was wondering what sort of help would that lame guy do?
Yet the-thing-inside-her-ear kept her from thinking anymore. It just let her Voice cords produce some unusual noises of pain now and then.
After about 10 minutes,Ajju's door flung open there stood Stna and Kuttan in their extremely ridiculous night outfits. Stna checked on Ajju, showing no signs of the differences they had the previous evening. She saw that whatever she,EM or Kuttan was doing was not helping Ajju and dialed the Manager guy's number to bring in an ambulance.
Ajju went to the entrance of the hostel waiting for the ambulance which had gone to drop off water cans at the center in Helldia, a remote town-village where they all attended their training for one of the big software giants.
She kept ranting with pain. Kuttan and EM managed to slip into a track suit while Stna came out in formal outfit. Inspite of the pain Ajju couldn't help but laugh at Stna.
"I didnt want to soil another dress so am wearing what I wore yesterday", defended Stna
"Babe,Whatever.." ,laughed Ajju and then of course started to cry with pain.Suddenly she remembered that she had forgotten her wallet and,"EM, my wallet is on my table could you...".
"Just shut up", cut short Kuttan.
The ambulance arrived and the four started a 15 min journey to the hospital. The pain was really too much for Ajju so she started to cry harder and louder.
"Anna konjam seekrama ponga please", cried out Kuttan.
Stna gave her characteristic look of sarcasm at a clueless Kuttan who was looking from EM to Ajju,for some help  to decipher what Stna's look actually meant.
"Tamil? Really?",piped up EM.
"Oh shoot, Bhaiya jaldhi jayiye,please", said Kuttan to an exasperated look from Stna
They reached the hospital and enquired in English at the helpdesk for the duty doctor
"Bangla Bangla....", replied the lady at the counter in an lazy tone
"Bangla ila di idu hospital,mariyadhaiya andha doctor ah kupudu",screamed Ajju
To be continued.......
