Part 5 continued...
Keerti stood in her office looking at everything around her. She realized that the day before, when she had introduced herself to Dr. Nikita, she had told her that she was to report to her each day. She was so used to having the interns reporting to her. They were her family. She was happy that the interns weren't the ones who got dismissed from Sanjeevni. But she was also heart-broken at the fact of leaving herself. Today was her last day. Keerti started packing all her belongings in two big boxes she had brought along.
Knock. Knock.
Without looking at the door, Keerti said, "Come in."
She slowly wiped out the tears in her eyes and turned around. Shubhankar, her husband gave her a tight hug. "Its okay, Keerti," he said kissing her forehead. "Sab kuch thik ho gaye ga."
Nikki sighed looking at Keerti and Shubhankar. They looked so sweet together. She was so mad at the fact that her husband was the root of this trouble. Of course, it wasn't Abhi's fault. He was only doing his job. But only if he didn't have to do it, she wouldn't have felt this guilty.
She turned around and walked to the locker room, where she found all interns sitting and moping.
"Hey guys," she said. "What's wrong?"
Armaan gave Nikki a look. "What's wrong? Why the heck are you asking us what's wrong?"
Rahul sigh and added, "Haven't you seen how sad Dr. Keerti looks. Sanjeevni Dr. Keerti ke bina bilkul khali lagega."
Muskaan tightly held Rahul's hand and hugged him.
Ridhima slowly walked inside the locker room. "Good Morning everyone."
"Dr. Keerti ke last day ke liye hum kuch kar kyu nahi rahe Armaan?" she asked giving him a small hug.
"Humne ek choti si party plan ki thi," Atul said. "Lekin Dr. Shubhanker ne hume kaha ke Dr. Keerti ko koi party barty nahi chiye."
Nikki sighed. This only made her feel even worse. Armaan suddenly got up from the bench and started walking away.
"Are Armaan!" Anjali called. "Tum kahan chale?"
Armaan turned around angrily and said, "Us Abhimanyu Modi ki office mein."
Everyone agreed and started to follow him there.
"Uh-oh!" Nikki said biting her tounge. "Yeh kya ho gaya."
Nikki quickly put her files away in her locker and ran to Abhi's office hoping Armaan doesn't cross the limit too much.
When she entered the office, everybody was lined up horizontally waiting for Abhimanyu to turn around.
"Excuse me," Armaan said quickly.
Dr. Modi turned around. "Yes, doctors?" he asked in a moderate tone. "How can I help you?"
"Aap aise Dr. Keerti ko kaise nikal sakte hai?" Muskaan asked. "Unke bina yeh hospital toot jaye gi."
Abhi smirked. "To kya aap log is position ke kabil nahi hai? Aap saat interns kya is hospital ko tootne denge?"
Armaan gave Abhi a deathly look. "Rehne do Muskaan," he said. "Yeh to sirf insan samaj te hai ke doosre insan ko kitna dard hota hai. Aur sayad yahi wajeh hai ke yeh samaj nahi sakte."
Nikki unintentionally let out a small laugh looking at Abhi's face.
Abhi looked at Nikki and grimaced. How could his wife laugh at the fact that he was getting insulted? Nikki quickly closed her mouth and looked down.
Abhi got up and yelled. "Agar aap ko koi aur sawal ho to jaldi puchiye warna Dr. Keerti ke saath, aap subh ke liye bhi Sanjeevni ke darwaze band ho jaye ge."
Armaan actually had many other questions. More complaints rather than questions. But this was not the time he could afford to loose his job.
As everyone quietly started walking out of his office, Abhi called, "Dr. Nikki – ta. Can I talk to you for a second?"
Nikki made a face. What could Abhi possibly want to talk about after all that was happening?
"Kya hai Dr. Modi?" she asked formally.
Abhi frowned. "Shutup, Nikki. Aur ab muje batao ke tum itni naraz kyun ho? Kya tum bhi in sab ki tarah biased ho? Seriously Nikki, tum jaanti ho ke mujhe bhi Dr. Keerti ko is tarah dismiss karma aacha nahi laga. Lekin mujhe karma pada!"
"Ab kya mein ja sakti hoon?" Nikki said folding her arms against her chest.
Abhi sighed. "Fine. Go"
Nikki sighed and walked to the door. She closed the blinds against the window and door and walked back to Abhi.
"Sorry, baby." she said. "Lekin seriously Abhi, tum kuch to kar sakte ho!"
"Kya kar sakta ho main?" Abhi yelled irritated. "Its not up to me you know! Tumhe apni aur apne dosto ki itni padi hai ke apne pati ki koi ab insult kare to tum hasti ho!"
Nikki looked down and realized how much she had hurt him. "Mera irada tumhe hurt karna nahin tha."
Abhi took Nikki hands and pulled her forward into his lap. He slowly kissed her neck. "Nikki kya hum PLEASE yeh bet idhar hi chodde? I miss you so much. Pehle, jab tum Sanjeevni nahi aati thi, tab tum every hour phone karthi thi. Lekin ab, tume to mujhe milne ki bhi fursat nahin hai. And we work in the same damn building!"
"Uff-oh Abhi," Nikki said getting up. "Hum ghar pe to baat karte hai na? Aur yaar, it hasn't even been two complete days yet!"
Abhi turned back to his filed muttering a small "Fine."
Nikki made her way back to work and hoped Abhi would cheer up by the evening.
