Parth's POV
I 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 fritters.)
" Hmmm yeah!! " Sid said but his eyes were still scanning the dining room.
" Don't tell me you are looking for that junior doctor. What is wrong with you?? " I was getting annoyed to see him in his lovesick puppy avtaar.
" Nothing, just eat your food. It is amazing, a bit spicy but very good. " He said to me to change the topic as he knew I was annoyed with Shruti.
" Don't change the topic now. What are you waiting for?? Do you think that she would come and join you?? She is arrogant. Stop wasting time on her. " I tried to put some sense into him.
" It's not her fault entirely, she misunderstood the whole thing. " He tried to explain on her behalf.
" And you tried to explain so many times but she didn't even give you a chance. " I said.
" Let it be, let's not spoil the day, we are here on a trip, so let's enjoy it to the fullest please don't talk about all these things. " He said to avoid the topic.
" I am not at all interested in talking about her but I get irritated when you you are lost in her thoughts while she doesn't give a damn about you. " I said.
" Parth, leave it, please !! "
" You leave it, Sid. Leave her, throw her out of your mind. You are so smart, intelligent and good looking. One of the best Dermatologists in the hospital. So many girls are crazy about you. Why are you stuck on that girl?? Find some other girl or let me fix a date for you. " I said.
" Thanks, but no thanks. I don't need your help. " He gave a fake laugh.
" Look at your right side the girl in that indigo coloured dress or the girl in a light yellow one, both are looking our ways. Let's go on a double date." I said to make him happy.
" No, you select one of them for yourself and go on date. I am not interested in any of them. " He was stuck on that stupid girl.
" Then find someone you are interested in. I don't want you to keep pinning for someone who does not care about your feelings. She doesn't bother. What does she think of herself? She should at least trust you." I shouted at him. He was my best friend, I didn't want him to suffer like that.
" Ok, ok... Calm down. Eat the food. " He said. I went to take another helping while he looked around and saw her with her batchmates. They all were enjoying their food.
She looked at him and the smile on her face vanished. She looked away immediately and just then a boy of that group said something to her with a flirty expression and she smiled.
I saw Sid, clenching his fist. He was getting jealous to see them sharing food. I really wanted to kill her for behaving like that with Sid.
A few other friends also came and joined us. We had a light conversation while Sid stole a few glances at her.
We all were enjoying while he was getting annoyed. He got up abruptly when he could not take it anymore, excused himself and went away throwing an angry look at the boy. She glared at him.
I went after him. "Parth, go inside I don't want to talk about it. I am fine. "
" Sid !! "
" Go away... " He literally shouted at me. But he was very important to me, so I shook my head and he closed his eyes. He just wanted to be alone and for a change, I left him alone and went inside to have more food. But my mood was spoilt.
My other friends and I went out after having breakfast and I saw him lost in his thoughts. We all went towards the Volvo bus which was supposed to take us to our next destination.
We got settled and then we saw her coming with her friends. She was sitting in another row and he kept looking at her. I was getting annoyed with him.
" What are you doing Sid?? I swear, I will throw you out of the bus. If you would keep sulking." I said glaring at him.
" Why?? What have I done?? " Just then the bus slowed down and stopped finally. We reached Hawa Mahal in Jaipur. We all got off the bus.
" You are spoiling my trip too. Be normal or I will go and say something to her. I swear you would not like it. " I shouted and threatened him.
" No!! You will not " He said immediately.
" Try me... Now enjoy with us or .... As it is, she is enjoying. Why does it matter to you so much, if she is so cool about it? It doesn't matter to her that you are suffering, but it does to me. I love you." I said as I really annoyed by now
" What ?? Do you love me ?? Oh, god !!! I was dying to hear it, Parth... I love you too. Let's tell everyone that we are in love and start our life together." He said and my eyes literally came out.
Then I realised he was trying to make me laugh and change the topic.
" What ?? Oh No !!! Spare me... " I looked terrified to act along.
" How can I leave you now??? I love you and you just said that you love me too. " He said and hugged me hard.
" Ewww leave me... What happened to you all of a sudden?? " I said though I knew he was just trying to lighten my mood.
" I just realised that you are the love of my life. " He said and I pushed him and started running, but was laughing now. He was happy to see me smiling.
His happiness has been very important to me as I had no one else in my life. I lost my whole family in an accident almost 6 years ago. Sid and his family gave me mental support.
So he was the only family I had apart from my grandfather who lived in Rajasthan. Though I had other relatives I was not very close to them.
Just then a nurse came to my cabin bringing me back to the present time.
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..
Parth's POV" You wanted to say something, Dr Riya?" I asked." Sir, one of my bags... is here in your cabin, I forgot it here earlier. " She said looking at the table." Yeah, take it! " I said and she picked her bag and left before I could even get to know.Sid also left after some time as he was planning to go for dinner with his sister-in-law.I reached home after eating my dinner and knocked at her door.She opened it after a minute. She was tying the belt of the robe. And her hair was open and a bit damp.I was shocked to see that she had such long and beautiful hair. Why does she always keep them tied so badly in that messy bun??" Yes, sir?? " She said and looked a bit uneasy." I need to talk to you for a minute regarding something important. " I said looking at her as she looked very different from her usual appearance." Don't worry sir, I will not say anything to anyone, it's your private matter. You can rest assured. " She said." What?? What does that mean?" I asked."
