Ambulance

A Story by harishbabu

based on a joke. From my Diary " Far from O. Henry and Maupassant"

Busy Mumbai.

An AMBULANCE with heavy siren. I heard someone screaming inside the ambulance. HELP ME! HELP ME!

I ran to hospital. There I saw a college boy begging to the lady doctor.

“Please save me doctor! Please! Otherwise my life will be over in the evening”

“I’m really sorry boy. It is INCURABLE!..No remedy at all. The whole medical science is helpless. It’s permanent you know?” the doctor said.

Showing his back the boy begged again. “Please erase it doctor. It is NEETHU not NITHU. I love NEETHU only. NITHU is her friend. That tattoo man made a spelling mistake. I couldn't see him writing. It was on my back na! If she finds it I will be in a devastating condition. I will be killed”

“Don’t worry. I will suggest a solution” the doctor said. “Just write NEETHU perfectly on your chest and…..love BOTH” (softly)

“Wow!!!! What an idea! Thank you very much doctor”

“Wait a minute. Just pay the consultation fees. Two thousand rupees. Not too much”

Arre yaar….

Mumbai.verY verY BUSY.

I told you na.
