Part 8
Previously: Misunderstanding is cleared between Nikki and Ayesha.
~ Forward ~
Atul again trying to convince Sadhna to once speak with her family about her being in the hospital….
"Dr. Atul… we have discussed this several time and my answer isn't going to change, but it I've became a burden on the hospital than I'll leave" Sadhna looked away from Atul.
Atul: Don't be silly, anyways I'll be gone for half day so Dr. Mallik will take over.
Sadhna nods her head.
Sid given in-charge of fresh arrived case in Sanjeevani "aja he us Dr. Nikita ko mujhe ek nahi per do case diya aur children ward bhi" he complained to himself.
"Dr. Uncle" Sid felt tug on his lab coat…. I slowly lowered my gaze and saw cute boy around age of 7-8 pulling my lab coat.
Sid: Kya hua?
Boy: Uncle, please save me from the mad girl
Sid looked here and there "dude whose uncle"
Boy: Aap
Sid: Do I look like an uncle? I don't think so and who's the mad girl
Sid heard screaming sound…
The boy disappear when Sid turned around
"Ye boy ka gaye" Sid look around "where is he?" Sid started walking
"Whatever Naina said earlier is right. How does Atul know about Dr. Shubanker?" many question formed in Yuvi's mind while he waited for the lift.
Finally lift open, Yuvi walked inside "yeh duffer lift ko rok" Yuvi saw Naina running towards the lift.
"Hurry Naina" Yuvi shouted
Naina ran toward the lift and when she came Yuvi close the lift on her face (flashing his smile) "how rude" Naina walked away fuming in anger.
"Ek second ki liye what happened to me. I've the one order no one to speak about them and today I mention that name I want to forget in my life who became the reason why I've changed over these months" Dr. Shashank slips into flashback….
~ Dr. Shanshank encounter haunted memory, flashback ~
Sid talking to himself "ye bacha ka gaye" when he bumps into Dr. Shanshank….
Shanshank stares at Dr. Siddhant Modi remembering Armaan how he talked to himself several times "Armaan" slip out of his mouth.
Sid stared at Dr. Shashank for awhile "excuse me sir par who's Armaan? I've heard his name several times from random people. Who's Armaan?"
Shanshank: No one I know
Shanshank walked away
~ End of flashback ~
I caught Sid mumbling to himself "Sid, are you okay?" I asked him of concern.
I saw Sid staring at me.
Ayesha: You're scaring me
"Who already confuse can scare anyone?" I heard Sid blurting out while walking back and forth in the locker room.
Ayesha: Sid
I placed my hand on his shoulder…
Sid looked at Ayesha….
Ayesha: Why are you confused?
Sid: Yeh Armaan kaun hai
He blurts out…
Naina comes inside the locker room….
Naina: Yeah! Whose Armaan and Ritz?
Ayesha swallowed her tears "only the people who work here might know who they are and what happened to them because if you remember the day I found some things in my locker which belong to Armaan according to Champ. Also Champ knows from Dr. Nikita" whatever she said didn't make sense to her. "Kya hua, Ayesha" Sid asked.
"Mujhe rounds pe jaane hai" she leaves after putting her pager in her lab coat.
"Sid yeh Ayesha ko kya hua" Naina asked.
Sid: What do you mean?
Naina: Didn't you notice her expression when we mention Armaan and Ritz - like - like she knows them.
Sid's pager rung, "I'll let you know later my thoughts cuz duty calls" he leaves and Yuvi enter.
"Hey duffer, why did you close the lift on my face" Naina barked at him.
"Cuz I didn't want to hear your chatter-patter-butter" he took file out of his locker and walked away leaving Naina confused by his attitude of action.
Ayesha walking down the corridor, "how can I tell anyone here about my roots connected with Armaan and now Riddhima lately?" she mumbled to herself.
Dr. Shanshank walking down same corridor as Ayesha, when they cross each other Dr. Shanshank heard Ayesha mumbling like Dr. Siddhant Modi. Again Armaan popped in his mind.
"Doctor" Shanshank shouted…
Ayesha stopped…
Entire hospital froze on the spot…
"Sir" only thing came out of Ayesha's mouth.
Shanshank: Is every intern I've met only mentally ill or what. Where ever I walk. I see many doctors mumbling to themselves. I want doctors in my hospital not careless doctor's cuz before I've misunderstood a person who cost me everything.
Ayesha couldn't say anything just starred at Dr. Shanshank….
Shanshank looked around "get back to work" everyone started moving and Ayesha disappeared.
Inside Nikki's cabin
"Kya hua" Nikki asked Ayesha who sat opposite her. Studying the file she gave her when Ayesha entered her cabin.
"Kuch nahiin" trying to avoid the topic by changing her focus on the file.
"Sure no problem… Cuz who can analysis a file upside down" Nikki turns file for Ayesha
"Oh" Now Nikki knew there is a problem.
Nikki walks toward Ayesha and kneels down beside her "Kya hua? If you have forgiven me" pause for a minute "from bottom of your heart then please tell me. I know I might not be the best as your Chachu, but I'll try"
"Why does everyone have altered different a-opinion against my family?" I couldn't help myself from blurting out trust of confusion in front of Masi.
"Why do you think like that?" Masi questioned me.
I stopped looking at Masi for awhile and walked toward the window of Masi's cabin "lately, what I am hearing about my parent (meaning her Chachu and Chachi since Armaan did adopt her too) kind of hurts deep down inside" Masi interrupted me "what are people saying about Kanav and Kinjal Di?"
"Masi without interrupting will you let me talk" I asked with puppy's eyes.
"Fine" I heard Masi saying, but before I could say anything my pager rung "duty calls" I left with Masi smiling in the background.
"Ye baat hai" someone heard Ayesha and Dr. Nikita talking together in Dr. Nikita's cabin. "Now fun will start for me and Dr. Shanshank when reality comes in front of him. Dr. Ayesha Mallik you are good doctor yourself, but nothing can not come between me and Dr. Shanshank so you have to be removed." Someone touches him on his shoulders.
Note: Who's this person who heard Ayesha and Nikki's convo? What does he have against Dr. Shanshank? Ab kya hoga in Kaisa Ye Raaz? How long will Ayesha's truth are hidden from her fellow intern doctors?
