*Satish Pov*
“Did you find out?” I asked the moment my CEO called me when I was waiting for David to finish his work and return so that we can return to his hotel room to discuss about his next project.
He was already grumpy when Ms. Palak called him up saying not to come back to her place today as she will be out of town. So, he has to stay back in Mumbai for this weekend and he is not at all cool about it.
“They don’t want him to be the face of their company like that right now. So, we have to continue with the new project. I don’t know why did he rejected it in the first place.” She complained while giving me the result which he and I already realized the moment she suggested it.
“This CEO is not at all like me and just closed the conversation with a single word. Now, he doesn’t have any chance to reject this project.” She added while I sighed.
*Palak Pov*I glanced at the message again, not believing those words, even though I have checked it again and again from the morning. I shook my head to not think about that anymore before glancing at my senior who is working hard to teach the interns about the new equipment.However, I found him staring at me with a frown and I glanced around to see everyone is looking at me instead of the equipment.“I am sorry about that.” I mumbled switching off my mobile phone before walking towards the senior realizing he asked me to do something but I totally missed.“Are you alright? You seem lost from the morning itself. You can go home and take a rest. You already helped me with everything for the past few weeks.” He whispered when I shifted to take place before him as a patient for demo.I don’t know what pushed me into getting involved with whatever work is present and maybe
*Palak Pov*“Are we going to wait at the theatre itself?” I glanced up hearing Tina’s voice and found her talking to Veer trying to lower her voice as much as she can but with their seats closer to me, it was not that difficult.“We can wait at the café if you wish to.” To my surprise even Veer is whispering back.“Is it a date or am I being abandoned?” I asked, raising my voice and they immediately glanced at me in surprise before looking around to see who heard me.“Well?” I stressed, but still there was no response from them.“Today is Saturday, Dr. Palak.” Tina stated making me frown at her.“I am aware of that fact. Are you trying to dodge my question? Then you both have definitely abandoned me.” I mumbled sighing with a depressed look before standing up to leave the room as it is time for us go home.“Wait! I
*Palak Pov*Am I really doing the right thing? I thought again, even while packing up my things. I don’t know why, but after I made that decision two weeks back to shift to Mumbai, I felt the need to ask myself again and again whether I really need to be doing this.Yes! I want to be close to him, but then again this is my life too which I settled for myself. But then again, my Dad had a hand in this and that extra thought is pushing me more towards the shift.“Have you packed everything?” Tina asked, finishing her work and walking towards me along with Veer.“Yeah! Was it fine to handle those patients?” I asked, glancing at the files I passed to them.“Kind of! It was a good thing that you informed them ahead. We all know they generally don’t like to change their consultants. Anyway, we will be getting a new doctor soon and that will help us more.” Veer replied instead
*Payal Pov*“He is the patient I talked to you about.” Dr. Harsha Gode introduced the patient after introducing me to him first.Not just you, Doctor. But everyone in the department talked to me about this patient. Even I got curious for the first time what could be the problem because all they reported was that he is a difficult patient but no one expressed the details.I think a slight comparison can be made with David but something tells me it is really going to be difficult. I am still not sure why was I chosen for a VIP patient the moment I joined here. Weren’t they supposed to check how I usually work before doing this thing?Or did Senior talked about me too much near his seniors to make them do this? If that is the case, then I have to work harder for sure to not let him down.“Mr. Anthony!” I turned to greet him and paused when I saw his blank expression, but at
*Palak Pov*“Uff! How many times do I have to wake you up?” I groaned, finally hitting on his shoulder and he immediately sat up in shock.“Did you just hit me?” he asked, rubbing his eyes and even gave out a yawn at the end of his question.“For the past one hour, Satish is waiting for you. And your phone is buzzing like crazy for the past two hours. What else should I have done?” I asked him, frowning and passed the phone which he immediately took from my hands while I rolled my eyes.“I didn’t snoop and even asked Satish whether there is anything urgent to deal with and make sure he handle it as you are not picking up your phone.” Saying that I turned to leave but he took hold of my wrist before I can take any step.“You do realize that I got abused by you today, right?” I sighed feeling tired.What and all I just told him and he is still hung
*Palak Pov*“Palak!” I shifted in my sleep hearing his voice and replied with a sound to let him know I am not completely asleep.“I need to go to work now. Are you going to take leave today?” he asked, caressing my hair and I slowly opened my eyes to see him sitting on the bed completely ready.“I will take a half day leave after calling my chief and just hope he will accept.” I replied, closing my eyes again while he sighed making me frown.“I really have an important meeting today. Otherwise, I would have stayed back.” I shook my head hearing his explanation understanding what he is feeling right now.“There is no need. And I understand how busy you are to handle the both things at a time. Don’t worry about anything else and do your best for this meeting.” I assured him but he didn’t move at all.“Why don’t you take lea
*Palak Pov*“You deal with it, Dad. I just wasted my time for this stupidity.” I can hear my brother’s voice, but I couldn’t look away from the spot where David was sitting.“Prakash! Stop right there.” Dad’s voice followed and he suddenly placed his hand on my shoulder shaking me.“It’s better if we leave this place. Everyone is looking at us and it is not a good thing.” I turned to stare at him after hearing those words.“Was… was she right? He… he did all that?” I asked, trying to control the words when they got stuck in my throat.“First of all, let’s go home.” He replied, paying the bill after waving for the waiter who immediately reached us.“No! It’s not true, right?” I asked him in a whisper and he stopped moving.“Will you move or make another scene? Wa
TWO WEEKS BEFORE WEDDING DAY*James Pov*“You don’t give it a rest, do you?” he stared at me with a determined look not budging at all no matter how much I am trying to stop him.I was done with my treatment, but this man stopped me from leaving and now trying to raise my temper, no matter how much I am trying to calm down. It’s been half an hour but he is still continuing with this discussion even after listening to my decision.“I am not joking, James.” He warned without any hesitation.“You were behind me all this time to have a proper therapy and just when I started doing that, you came up with another thing.” I pointed out tightening my grip on the chair.“You are talking as if I will benefit from all this. Therapy was for you and this operation will also be for you.” He pointed back.“She was working
