Sandhya's POV
I 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 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 me for the food.I said bye to him and turned to go when I bumped into a hard wall. A human wall. I didn't know that someone was standing right behind me. I looked up to find none other than Dr Rathore himself.Oh God !!!" Miss Sandhya, please follow me."" Yes sir. " I followed him to his cabin. Once he was seated he said, " So what is the explanation for what you just did? " His cold eyes were piercing through me I was scared but I didn't show it. I answered him very confidently." Sir, I just gave that young child something he would have loved to eat. He hated that food which was served to him and he asked me to taste it. I tasted it, it was tasteless and I just give that child something he could eat. I made him eat whatever was given to him too and he promised me that he would eat everything which would be served. I just wanted to cheer up that child because he was really scared about the surgery he is going to have. What is wrong with that? I just wanted him to be happy and whatever I served him, was absolutely healthy. I know my job sir, I don't know what you think about me, but I know my job very well sir. " " Let me be a judge for that, Serve that thing to me. I want to see if it is really healthy. " " It is healthy sir, It is just plain idli stir-fried with a minimal amount of fats in it with lots of veggies. " I said" So, why are you scared of me tasting it? " He again raised one of his eyebrows as if challenging me. I would rather die then let him taste anything I cooked. But he was challenging me, I couldn't back out." Oh, I am not scared of you, I am very sure the food is very healthy. " I served a spoonful of idly to him. He stared at me and tasted a bit of that. His face was expressionless, but I knew that he loved it. " Well Ms Sandhya, this was your first mistake, so I am just giving you a warning. Just don't do it again." I just nodded. He finished what I served him. I wanted to kill him. Chirag was trying not to grin. Ajay had a faint smile on his face. I turned my back to him and made a face of a killer who wanted to kill him. Chirag could not contain his laughter and Dr Devil A.k.a. Dr Rathore glared at him.I instructed the diet chart of our patients to the concerned authorities. It was almost lunchtime so we all went to the cafeteria. My friends were not there so I sat down with Chirag and Ajay. My friends also came in 5 minutes. We started having our lunch. Chirag teased me about the fact that my food must have cooled down Dr Rathore's anger. As he was fuming earlier, but after eating it, he just let me walk away with a warning. My friends also started teasing me. I was getting annoyed. They all tasted lunch. I did not get to even taste It.We took our rounds and I saw that the old man was having some problems with the earlier diet plan he was following. He was allergic to dairy products. So I changed his plan The old lady had her BP under control now. I went to meet the young boy he was so happy to see me that he hugged me. I hugged him back. He thanked me as I changed his diet a bit and made it more interesting. He was talking about some animated series. He told me a funny story and I was laughing when I saw that Dr Rathore was looking at me as he must have entered into the ward.I said bye to the boy and left the ward. I went back to the Cardiology wing. We just got a circular that there is a freshers' or welcome party on the next Saturday which was 12 days from today. We all were supposed to attend the party as it was mandatory. The dress code for the party would be formal. There would also be a beauty pageant for interns where one lady and one man would be titled as Miss intern and Mr Intern. We all were excited and discussing, what to wear. Our duty hours were over and my phone started ringing, I picked it up, it was from Shubh. He was already waiting for me to come out. I took my leave and came out, Shubh was waiting there. He smiled at me and asked me about my day. I just said it was good." So you are not going to tell me? Fine... Don't tell me. But don't say anything, if I find it myself. Then I won't listen. Is anyone bullying you? " He caught my hand and asked. I patted his hand and said, " Shubh please, I am not in any kind of trouble. I am not tensed, and nobody is bothering or bullying me. Just relax and by the way, Who is your latest girlfriend now? You are hiding things from me." He just made a face. " I know you are trying to distract me from the topic, but let me tell you, I am not going to get distracted. I know there is some problem, I can read your face. You were very excited to join the hospital, but now you don't seem that interested. So something is wrong somewhere you better tell me yourself. "" You are just imagining things. Now please, let us just leave. " He shook his head and made me sit in the car and then slipped into the driving seat. We drove back to our home. His friend Sumeet was waiting for him there at home. He smiled enthusiastically at me, but I just nodded with a faint smile and went inside. Both of them came in. I wanted to drink water, so I went to the kitchen. I knew Shubh was very bad in the kitchen so I offered to make coffee for both of them. Shubh went to his room to change into comfortable clothes. Sumeet came to the kitchen. He is always being extra nice to me and become protective of me. I really get annoyed with him. He behaves as if I am his responsibility. " You joined that hospital right?" " Hmmm "" How is it? Are you enjoying it ?"'Yes, I am. "" If you ever have any problem pls let me know..."' Why? "" What do you mean by why? Just because you are my friend."" Correction !! You are Shubh's friend, not mine. If I'll have any problem. I will tell him. "" I wanted to talk to you about something. I think I am falling in love with you. Will you be mine? I will keep you very happy and protected. " He caught my hand and started pulling me towards him." What? Just leave my hand. I am sorry, but I don't feel the same for you. I don't feel comfortable with you. Never talk to me like that again."With that, I went to my room. I felt that I was a bit rude to him, but I don't want him to get the wrong ideas. He already thinks that we have something Between us.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

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.

Is he someone special in your life? Boyfriend ?"Oh God, why did she has to ask that?But I wanted to hear it too. Though I knew that they love each other but I wanted her to deny that. I am getting confused.Sandhya looked shocked for a minute and then she burst out laughing. Everyone was looking at her curiously," Boyfriend?? Oh, God !! No, he is my overprotective and over caring brother, Shubh. I am sick and tired of him treating me as a child. For god sake, I am 22 and he still treats me as if I am 2 or 4 years old."WHAT ???
