Parth's POV
I reached the hospital and went to my department. The nurse greeted me with a smile but I just gave a curt nod and went to my cabin.
After about 10 minutes, I walked into the Dermatology department to meet my best friend Siddharth.
" Hey Sid, how are you?? I missed you a lot. " I said and embraced him.
" Fine !! " He said but didn't look fine.
" Oh god, why are you still so grumpy?? " I asked him.
" Nothing !! I am not in a good mood. Sorry, you tell me. " He said trying to smile at me.
" I am as good as ever. But I will be better now, my best friend is back. Tell me what happened?? "
I prompted him to come out with his issue. Though I knew it was related to that junior doctor Shruti, I wanted him to get everything out of his chest.
He told me everything about how Kunal called Shruti, while he was coming to Chandigarh with Shruti, and said that he was missing her. My best friend was fuming even now.
" This Kunal... I have to teach him a lesson. You know, we played Holi with him with a plate of hot colourful food. " I told him.
" What are you talking about? How and when?? "
" After you left me alone on that damn trip to Rajasthan. We were enjoying it so much till you were with me. Then you got pissed off because of Shruti and Kunal. They were having food when we poured plateful of hot food all over his pristine white shirt and it looked as if he had just played Holi. " I told him with a grin.
" Oh, yes!! Shruti said that you behaved badly with Kunal. " Sid said.
" He deserves it. I didn't want to see them enjoying the food cosily after spoiling our enjoyment. I was so angry with them because you got so jealous to see them happy together that you left. And how could I let them enjoy if my enjoyment was spoilt because of them? " I said.
" I am proud of you. You made my day with this news. I will kill him if I see him anywhere near Shruti again. " Sid smiled and said.
" Don't worry, I will tackle him, after all, he will assist one of our friends as he is starting his internship. " I said with a devilish expression.
" Maurvi helped me clear the misunderstanding. Everything was going well, till he called up. I was so irritated that I wanted to smash everything around me. I have been in love with Shruti for so long... How dare he say that he missed her. who gave him the right to miss her? " Sid was very upset.
" Yes, don't worry. We will do something. Let's go, we will be allotted the new interns today. Let's see, what happens..." I said and winked at him. His mood perked up.
Siddharth has been my best friend since we got our admission here. He was the best dermatologist in the hospital, a very hard-working doctor.
We all went to the Dean's office, where his assistant was waiting for all the young senior doctors. All the other doctors were also there. He took out name chits and placed them in a big bowl.
He told us to pick 3 chits each. Siddharth picked up three chits but I had a plan, so I picked up 6 and discreetly opened three of them it didn't have Shruti's name on it so, I passed two of them to another doctor saying that I picked up more by mistake.
Then I opened another chit discreetly and smiled. It was the one I was looking for. I gave it to Sid and took one from his hand and winked.
I saw the one, I took from him and put it back in the bowl saying sorry but I seemed to have picked more.
The assistant to Dean glared at me but I gave a cute apologetic smile to him.
I had 3 chits now and so did Sid. I was happy that Sid would get Shruti as his intern. He was looking at me weirdly. As if he was asking me, what was I doing? I winked at him and smiled again.
" Ok !! Please open the chits and write down the names of the interns against your names. ". Said the assistant.
Sid opened the chits and a bright smile came to his face as the chit which I passed on to him held the name which was also written on his heart. He looked at me and grinned.
I opened the chit and smiled devilishly. He asked me what happened???
I showed him my chits and one of the names made him even happier. It was Kunal.
So now his girl was going to be with him for the whole day, whether she liked it or not. And that idiot Kunal will have to handle me.
All the best, Kunal !!
We wrote the names on the register and had to go out.
" You know what??? You are awesome !!! " He said hugging me.
" I know that since the day, I was born. Tell me something, I don't know. " I said.
" I love you... " He said and embraced me.
" I know... " I said and laughed.
Just then I saw a familiar face for a fraction of a second and I was surprised to see it. But when I looked around, I could not see it.
Did I really imagine that face? Yes, I must have... But why? she was like a bad dream.
Somehow seemed to be there in reality.
But why would she come here??... We don't operate mental patients here. I shook my head and smiled.
We were supposed to go to a lecture theatre where all the interns were sitting.
The names of the interns were called along with the names of the doctors, they were to assist.
The moment Shruti's name was announced along with Siddharth, I saw the tension on Shruti's face. Siddharth was looking at her from the corner of his eyes with a big smile on his face while she also looked at him.
Stupid couple!!
I didn't know what was wrong with Shruti, even a blind man could see that Sid was madly in love with her.She avoided him like plague. But now she could not even if she wanted as she had to assist him.
After that, we left and the interns were instructed to report to their respective departments or doctors.
" All the best Sid, you tackle your angry bird. I will keep that Kunal away from her. " I said and went away after he hugged me once again.
I went to my cabin in the pathology department and waited for the interns who would assist me.
I knew Kunal, but the other two were girls, let's see, maybe I get some hot and sweet intern too.
I was excited to meet my interns, especially, that Kunal. I had many plans to torture him. He was irritating my best friend by being over-friendly with the love of his life.
Now I will keep him busy here in my department. I was also excited that there would be two female doctors at my every beck and call.
Parth's POVI was waiting for the interns but my mind went back to Sid. I was glad to see him happy now, he has been so upset because of that girl. In fact, he was so upset on the trip that he abandoned his trip in the middle of it. I still remembered as I was in full mood to enjoy the trip and flirt around with so many other female doctors. Flashback" Come fast Sid, I am very hungry, They must have served breakfast, I don't want to miss the tasty Rajasthani food. " I said to Sid, pulling him to the restaurant where a breakfast buffet was served. Many of our colleagues were already there eating food. There was all kind of breakfast dishes but I was very keen on eating Rajasthani food. We took some food on our plates and came to one of the tables. I was busy eating but he was looking around." Whom are you waiting for?? Enjoy the food while you are in Rajasthan. The food is awesome." I said enjoying the hot pyaj kachori ( onion stuffed kachoris) and Mirchi Vada. ( Stuffed JalapeƱos
Riya's POVThe first thing I did when I had brought everything, upstairs to my new home, was to go to my bedroom window and open it and fling it wide. A sigh of pure happiness left me. It was a beautiful day.I ignore the fact that every wall in my new home was going to have to be decorated before it would be truly livable, I stared outside at my view. Wow!! Terrace garden!! I didn't expect it. Though the plants looked wilder. I loved gardening but it had l to wait. My priority was to settle in the home and hospital. So I took a quick shower and reached the hospital and looked for my friend. She was waiting for me in the parking lot.We went upstairs and reported on duty. We were asked to go to a lecture theatre and wait. My friend and I were going there when I saw my new irritating neighbour. What was he doing here?? Must have come for the mental check-up?? I chuckled. I saw some man hugging him and saying that he loved him. They both were smiling and my neighbour said that he
Parth's POVI was looking at her, " S.sorry, sir! " She said. " It's ok!! I am fine... introduce yourself. " I said looking at her. " Hello, I am Dr Riya Verma ." She said avoiding looking at me. " Look at me while you are talking to me! " I said in a very hard tone. I needed to be strict with her but a tear slipped from her eyes. Oh, no!" Ok, sir !! I am Dr Riya Verma. " She said but another tear rolled down. I felt bad for the girl but I had to be strict with her. " Hello, everyone, as you already know, I am Dr Parth Rajvanshi. So, for the next three months, you all will be assisting me. Welcome to the Pathology department. " I said with a polite professional smile. " Thank you, sir. " They said. " Under Pathologist Internship one needs to examine cells and tissue samples, as well as doing autopsies, to identify diseases... A therapist specializes in a wide range of disorders, including cancer, and pathologists make the majority of cancer diagnoses. One must have the abilit
Riya's POV" What the hell?? Who the hell removed the chair from here? And why?? " He looked around and saw me. He closed his eyes immediately.I could not even say anything as I had committed another blunder."Everyone has left, what are you waiting for?? Planning to attack me ?? " He shouted." Er... Ummm... S.sorry, sir. I th.thought of cleaning the space before going away. " I said." You... ! You thought of cleaning?? But why did you remove my chair? " He was shocked at what I said. " Sorry!! You have been standing for so long... I thought... So... " I tried to give the explanation but he never heard it." Wow!!! Please don't waste time thinking, no need to pressurise your peanut sized brain. You stupid girl!! " He said and scolded me at the top of his voice. I panicked and though tried, I could not hold my tears anymore.They started rolling down my cheeks.Parth's POV" Please don't waste time in thinking, no need to pressurise your peanut sized brain. You stupid girl!! " I
Riya's POVIt was barely 7 in the morning when the doorbell rang. I was surprised as It was too early for anyone to come. I opened the door and was shocked to see Dr Parth standing there again, frowning at me." For God's sake, can't you live like normal people? " He said the moment he saw me." I stopped working at night as you wanted to sleep, but now I need to do my work. " I explained." Haven't you finished it yet?? Stop bothering others!! " He said and went away.What was his problem?? Arrogant, irritating, grumpy!!******I got ready and went downstairs, slipped into my car and started the car, but...Oh my God!! It didn't start.I saw him coming out of the building and getting into his car.I tried again but all in vain. I saw him smirking at me.I wanted to wipe off that smile of his face, but I could not afford to be angry, so I controlled my annoyance to the simmering point when he deliberately forced me to ask for help." Can I request you something?" I asked him as n
Parth's POVShe opened the door and looked apologetic." Sorry, sir!! " She looked embarrassed again." Sorry?? Just a minute ago you threatened to call the police. Please do that. " I said as I was very angry." No !! I thought... It was..." She started saying but I was agitated." You thought again?? I told you not to think at all. " I frowned at her." Sorry, sir."" Don't say the damn word!!! I am sick of you and your sorry. What is the point in saying sorry if you find yet another way to torture me?? " He said pressing his head." But I didn't disturb you now. " She said meekly. " Who in their right frame of mind sing at the top of her voice like that?? Your voice can make even dead people uncomfortable in their graves. Please have mercy on me at night or you will pay for it during the daytime. " I threatened her." This is not fair!! You... " She started speaking again but I glared at her." Not fair? I am just trying to sleep since early morning and you are making too m
Parth's POVI slipped into my bed again, thinking that hopefully, I would not have to murder that girl.But whatever happened a few minutes back, left me wide awake.What kind of a girl was she?? She was different! Yes, very different from the usual girls.She was about 5'5" in height. A bit on the healthier side, not too overweight but a bit chubby. She had a soft baby face but her dressing sense was pathetic, wore very boring oversized clothes. She wore glasses, like those nerdy students and looked absolutely unorganised because of her unkempt hair, always tied up in a boring untidy bun.She was clumsy and irritating, but what irritated me the most was the way she starts crying at the drop of a hat. I kept getting irritated and sometimes even smiled at her stupidity and finally slipped into slumber.********I got ready and reached the hospital. I was scheduled to give a few lectures to the students as one of the doctors who taught them was on leave so I reached a bit earlier and ch
Parth's POV" Dr Riya?? " I shook her and she got startled and her phone fell off her hand." Oh sorry, it seems that I startled you. " I said and picked up the phone from the floor. But she kept standing looking at the phone as if it would blast Any moment." Are you alright?? Dr Riya? " I asked and she looked at me and took the phone reluctantly from my hand." Oh!! Yeah... I am fine, thank you. Bye," She said and looked at me as if she wanted to ask something." What happened?? "" How safe is the apartment?? "" Absolutely safe. Why are you asking that? "" Outsiders are not allowed in the building, right?? "" Right! What happened to you? "" N.nothing thanks. " She said, went to her home and closed the door. Weird girl!! Something was intriguing about her.Anyway, I was tired so, I went to sleep.******Riya's POVI was talking to Dr Parth when my phone started buzzing. I saw the screen which flashed an unknown number.Oh, God!! No!! Not again... He couldn't know, I am here..
