I took a day off the next day to revive myself a bit. I went to the hospital next day.
"Neelam! Can you send me the list of the appointments I have today?" I asked her.
"Oh! Dr.Shravan! Sure. I will send it through someone in a while" She said.
"Thanks!" I said.
"Neelam! Can you contact Dr.Arjun about the patient in room 109 with concussion His phone is not reachable?" Suman came in and asked Neelam.
"Oh is it? I will contact him soon." Neelam said and turned to me.
"Hey doc!" Suman said greeting me with a smile.
When she turned towards me. I frowned. She looked so worn out and dull with big eye bags. It looked like she did not even sleep a wink.
"Suman are you okay?" I asked concerned.
"Yes!" She said. She looked like she is in a daze.
"Dr. Suman you should go home. You have been here for almost 30 hours straight." Neelam butted in.
"What? Why will you be here for so long. You don't even have a long shift?"I almost screamed. For some reason I was angry.
"Chill doc. I was covering for a friend." She said.
"Why would you cover for someone? Listen I am going to report this." I said my anger rising up.
"Doc No! I volunteered to take it. I have my concerns. Ignore this will you? Please!" She said.
Before I can say anything. She turned to Neelam.
"Dr.Kamini is going to be here soon right? I need to assist her for a surgery" She said massaging her neck.
"Yes Dr" Neelam told her with a sigh.
"Thanks doc. See you around and don't worry."She said and left.
I could'nt understand her. I don't know what the hell is she thinking. She think she will be a good doctor working off like this with no care for herself? That kid needs a scolding.
"Actually doctor, Suman ma'am is mostly in the hospital. She does'nt go home for a long time. She just goes there to fresh up. But its been long so I am worried." Neelam said.
"I will take care!" I said leaving for my cabin.
I went out to have a little coffee break. While I saw Dr.Kamini shouting on Suman. Panicking I went there.
"If you don't want to do this. Leave! We don't need doctors who slack off like you" She shouted on Suman.
"I am really sorry doctor! I assure I will never repeat this" Suman said bowing down.
Shit! Mom can be scary. Dr.Kamini Malhotra is my mom and is a neurosurgeon in my hospital. That rude lady does'nt spare anyone at all.
"Whatever!" My mom said a left. I sighed.
Apparently Suman was a bit inattentive in the surgery. Not at all cool. I saw her sighing and walking weakly towards the resident's room. I followed her.
She suddenly stopped walking. The corridor was totally empty. I also stopped on my tracks. She took a pair of ear phones from her pocket and put them in her ears. And She started Dancing. Woah I was weirded out. Her moves are like total hip-hop and cool. But what the hell is she doing I thought.
And suddenly there was a thud and suman was on the floor. Thinking she slipped accidentally I rushed to her only to see that she was unconscious.
"Shit! Suman! Suman!" I tapped her cheeks. She did not get up. I picked her up and took her to a ward nearby.
Its exhaustion. This woman did not eat anything properly since yesterday. I huffed and sat there glaring at her when she looks so peaceful in sleep with a saline bottle. She needs some lecture.
She grumbled as she opened her eyes and jumped up.
"Shhh..Why are you so hasty?" I kinda nagged.
She registered the situation for a few seconds.
"Why would you do something like this to your body? Are the heavens falling?Why are you like this?" I questioned her seriously.
"Doc. Why so serious?" She made an innocent face.
"I need an answer Doctor Suman!" I sad nonchalant.
"I am always like this!" She answered simply.
"Exactly! Why? Do you even know what are you doing? This is not cool." I did'nt back down with my lecture.
"Can we go out?" She stood up with the strollable stand with the saline bottle.
I just followed her. We sat on a bench silently. I was still waiting for her answer.
"Did something happen? Do you want to share something?" I asked a bit coolly this time.
"I just don't like going home. It's so lonely." She sighed.
I looked at her intently.
"I live alone and it's boring" She said.
I sighed. At the first glance I thought she is nothing but happy go lucky. But I heard from someone that she lives alone and her family passed away but I thought she does'nt let it get to her. I guess she has her vulnerabilities like anyone else.
"Why the hell did you dance?" I asked still reminiscing the most amusing sight.
"I was stressed and tensed after the scolding. That is how I get out of it"She said casually.
"When you are that tired? Wah! So when you are lonely you overwork, when you are stressed you dance like a whacko?" I said totally amused by her. She is weird.
"Everyone has their own ways!" She pouted and I laughed and laughed. She just glared at me.
"Do you want to come with me?" I asked out of no where.
"Where?" She asked flustered.
"My house. I am done for the day and I am bored. Since you are weak and need healthy food I will cook for you" I said.
"You don't need to do this." She said expressionless.
"Don't worry! I am very good cook. You will see. I was planning to invite you anyways you are coming that's it." I said catching her hand forcing her to get up.
"Oh doc! You have a stubborn side too. I guess I can never say no for food."She said laughing.
There she is! The charmer returns.
