When the sun shines, we'll shine togetherTold you I'll be here foreverSaid I'll always be your friendTook an oath, I'ma stick it out 'til the endNow that it's raining more than everKnow that we'll still have each other.I sing the lyrics to myself, scrubbing my feet when I hear a knock on the bathroom door."I know you are so grateful you have a friend like me that you could weep at my feet. There's no need to dedicate a song for me",I hear Anshu's annoying voice through the door,"But can you hurry up!?"I roll my eyes,"Dream on."I hum the lyrics to myself, scrubbing my skin as I w

"Ma'am,Nikhil Sir from Paediatrics has come to meet you",Pallavi tells me when I'm in the OT(Operation Theatre)."Now?",I mumble to myself.It's been a few days since that day,the day we've mutually decided to not talk about via telepathy.Things are back to normal."What are you doing here?",I ask Nikhil, pulling my mask down as I see him just outside the OT."It's lunch time, Sandy",he deadpans."You know I have OT on Thursdays.""And I also know you skip lunch on
