Sandhya's POV
" Sandhya, stop right there. You are not going anywhere without having breakfast. It is so unhealthy. For God's sake, You are a dietician. Do I need to remind you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? " My buaji ( paternal aunt) was scolding me as she saw me going out of the house.
She is even worse than my mom. Always scolding me, for not taking care of myself. According to her, I am getting weak. Oh please !! I have put in so many efforts to get the perfectly toned body but she is just a mom. Always thinking about feeding her children.
" Buaji, I am not weak, I am perfectly fine. I assure you I will eat something healthy. But I am getting late already. Where is Shubh? He said he would drop me, must be sleeping. It is my first day at the hospital, I can't afford to be late. " I grabbed an apple and put it in my bag and then picked up a sandwich and started eating it while going out.
" Hey, Sandy!! Wait for me, I will drop you today. " I stopped when I heard Shubh calling after me. My sweet overprotective elder cousin.
Well just two years older then me but always behaves as if he is my grandfather.
" Ok, but hurry up, I am already late."
" Ya, I am coming. You eat something in the meanwhile. " He ordered and I ate another paper-thin cucumber sandwich. I was full now.
" Here take this, don't eat anything from outside. I made Poha for you. " My aunt gave me a packed lunch. I took it and kept in my bag.
Shubh came out of his room and grabbed the keys of his car. We sat in the car and he drove to the hospital. It was a new multi-speciality hospital.
It was the first day of my internship as a dietician.
For the last 5 years, I have been living with my paternal aunt and her family in New Delhi. My parents are usually travelling around the world. They run a very lucrative travelling agency in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. They are enjoying their life.
My elder sister Sanvi lives in the USA with her husband Neeraj Chauhan. Sanvi is also helping my parents as she also has one branch there. I got admission in New Delhi and since then I am here. I just go home for vacations.
We reached the hospital, Shubh hugged me and wished me luck and said, " Just give me a call, whenever you want me to come and pick you up. And if any boy tries to be over-friendly, Just ignore him and let me know. I will fix all your problems." I just grinned and nodded.
He has always been like this. He is so caring and protective for me as if I am his daughter. He thinks I am too young to handle anything on my own. I am 22 and he is 24.
He is just two years older than me and still, he thinks that he is a superman. He is doing MBA and once he completes it, he is planning to join uncle's business. My crazy, funny, irritating brother.
I just reached the reception, when I saw two of my classmate, Ruchika and Pooja, who also joined this hospital for their internship.
I was really happy to meet them. Pooja is a beautiful shy girl. While Ruchika is outspoken and extrovert. But both are very good.
We all went to the room where we were instructed to be. There were more interns. There were two more girls from our college. We all said hello to each other. We waited for five minutes when a senior doctor came and we all greeted him.
We all gave our introductions. Some of the people were doctors, some of them were dieticians.
We were given a brief description of the hospital and then they showed us the whole hospital like all different departments, operation theatre, OPD section, ICU and all the necessary information was given. I really enjoyed it a lot.
Then after all the instructions that were given to us, we were to be assigned our duties.
So to be fair with all, they wrote the names of the doctors on the chits, to whom we had to assist for next month, and made all of us to choose one. So I picked one as well.
We had to write our personal information like name, phone number, speciality etc. I started writing all that when one of my old classmates came to me and asked, " Hey Sandhya, can you please tell me which doctor are you going to assist? "
I just smiled, opened my chit and after looking at it, I said "Dr Aakash Khanna..." She closed her eyes for a few seconds and opened them.
She looked at me pleadingly and said, " Can you please change the chit with me? Actually, last month, I came to the hospital for my mom's treatment and since then, I have a huge crush on him. So can you...? "
I smiled and said, " Of course, take it."
" Are you sure? You see he is very handsome. You don't mind, me assisting him? She asked me curiously.
" I am absolutely sure. It doesn't matter to me, I am not interested in anyone. " I exchanged the chit with her. She hugged me and left.
I finished writing my personal information on the paper and submitted it. The doctor asked me, " Which doctor are you going to assist? " I realised that I didn't even opened it. But how does that matter?
I handed that chit to him. He opened it and said, " So you are going to assist, Dr Vikram Singh Rathore".
" Oh !! Ok, sir. " But I was shocked to hear that name. It can't be possible.
Oh, God !! Please let it not happen. I can't take it.
There are so many people with the same name. He won't be the same person.
Well hoped so...
Sandhya's POVTwo more intern doctors were assigned the duty to assistDr Vikram Singh Rathore. We went to the cardiology department as he was a cardiologist. We looked for his cabin and the ward boy told us that he is in OT. He asked us to wait for him.All three of us gave our introductions. There was a cute good looking man. Dr Chirag Patel. Another one was very handsome but serious,Dr Ajay Sharma.We all became comfortable with each other. We were still talking about our college life, families, friends etc. I was trying to calm my mind which was unsettled since I came to know that I have to assist a doctor named Vikram Singh Rathore.He can't be same..... This is such a big world. There would be at least a thousand people with the same name.Stop being paranoid about it. He is not the same person. Dr Chirag was telling some very funny incidents of his college days. He must have been very mischievous. His eyes wer
Sandhya's POV" Glad to see, all of you on time. Now you all will go for your rounds with me, check all patients and will make small notes about them.Dr Chirag and Dr Ajay, you will make notes about their problems, medicines, what should be given, what quantity should be given and at what time. And Ms Sandhya you will see what should be their food according to their diseases and their problems you will come with the complete food plan for them. Three of you will show everything to me tomorrow first thing in the morning. Am I clear??" He asked looking at me." Crystal clear sir... " I said sarcastically. He glared at me." You better be, or you will face the music tomorrow. Now follow me and be ready to make your notes about all of them." He left his room and we followed him. He went to the ward where his patients were.We met the first patient. He was a 65-year-old man, who got operated 2 days back. I noted all his particul
Sandhya's POVI had almost forgotten about a certain someone, who was standing right behind me.The moment I turned, I froze as he was staring at me.I averted my eyes from him and walked to the next patient. He did not say anything for the time being, but I think he is going to scold me very soon.Ajay and Chirag were also looking at me with their eyes wide open. I guess they also think that I would be scolded for that.We finished our morning rounds and were free for some time so I took my bag and went to meet that young boy. I served him some of the stir-fried vegetables Idly. He looked pleased to see that colourful dish. I smiled and said, " You will have to eat all the veggies with idli. You can't just eat idli and leave the vegetables. " He nodded.He ate a spoonful of it and his face lit up. He smiled and said, " Wow this is amazing. " I smiled and said, " Now promise me, you will eat whatever is offered to you, as you are not well and are about
Vikram's POVThe interns had already joined and as per the rules, the interns were allotted the doctors they would assist. I had just performed surgery and was going to enter my cabin when I heard someone laughing. I saw a very beautiful girl and 2 young handsome boys were talking." Where do you think you all are? " I said loudly, they all stopped laughing once they heard me.They all stood up like kids. Just 2 minutes back this room was bursting with laughter and now there was a pin drop silence.I entered the room and all of them greeted me. The girl was staring at me as if she saw a ghost and froze.The doctors gave their introduction but the girl seemed to be somewhere else mentally.Well, it does happen with girls when they look at me. But this case seemed different. She seemed to shrink away from me." Hello, Ms. ....? " But she didn't react. She was looking at me with a shocked expression. I looked at the doctors and one of
Vikram's POVAfter the rounds, I went to another department and when I was coming back, I saw Sandhya talking to that little boy.She served him something. He looked pleased to see that colourful dish. She smiled and said, " You will have to eat all the veggies with idli. You can't just eat idli and leave the vegetables. " He nodded.He ate a spoonful of it and his face lit up. He smiled and said, " Wow this is amazing. " She smiled and said, " Now promise me you will eat whatever is offered to you..... As you are not well and are about to get operated so you need to eat a certain kind of diet. After you are recovered I will get you something nice to eat. I promise. But for now, you will have to follow the diet." He nodded and thanked her for the food.She said bye to him and turned to go when she bumped into me. She looked scared. Good." Miss Sandhya, please follow me."" Yes sir. " She followed me to my cabin." So what
Vikram's POVIn the morning, I reached the hospital and went to my cabin... All three of them were already waiting there for me. We all went for the rounds.They are were working very hard. The little boy was to be operated today. He seemed to be very scared. Sandhya was trying to cheer him up. She even said that once he will be alright, she would cook his favourite dish. She even said that Dr Rathore will mend his heart and then he would grow up to be a fine young handsome man. The boy blushed abit. She smiled and ruffled his hair. He also started smiling. She is really sweet with... Others.They all went to havecoffee afterwards. I also went to the cafeteria to have some coffee with Gautam. He was discussing his discomfort which he feels whenever he meets Mehul and Megha.

Sandhya's POVHe sat down with me and just kept sipping his coffee." I must say, that you made very good diet plans for both the patients. You are really good at it you must work hard and one day you will be the best in your field."" Thank you, sir, thank you so much."He picked up his sandwich but kept it back. He just kept sipping his coffee and didn't eat anything. That was not healthy. I try to stop myself, but I could not.I just blurted out, " Sir, I think you should eat something you are only having coffee you will have acidity. "" Yes, but I don't feel like eating a sandwich, it is very boring."I didn't want to say that but I said, " Sir if you don't mind, you can share my food."
