THE FIRST ENCOUNTER :
Raj and Naveen exited from opposite Operation theatres and gave each other weary but satisfied smiles and understood that the other was successful too.
Raj and Naveen, both best friends and roomies while they did their M.B.B.S and post graduation, were intelligent, yet the naughtiest students, their Med college had ever seen.
Both though best friends, were strong competitors....yet rejoiced each other's success.
And so Raj was the happiest when Naveen was university topper during their M.B.B.S and later when Raj acclaimed gold medal in Surgery, Naveen partyed hard !
But then their ways parted as Raj took up Cardiac Surgery for superspecialisation, while Naveen opted to be a Neurosurgeon.
Later both decided to work in the hospital started by Raj's Father, Dr.Siddharth Malhotra, at Dehradoon. Although well equipped and advanced, the hospital worked equally for poor and prestigious.The unaffording populace got even the expensive medical services either free of cost or in a affordable budget.
For Naveen, Dr.Siddharth was a father figure, as he had lost his parents while he was doing post grad. He had one younger sister, who was a doc too and recently passed her post grad . He was in relationship with Dr. Shalini, who worked as an ophthalmologist there.
As they were scrubbing after the surgery,
" Kya baat hai Dr. Naveen?" , Raj asked, " I am noticing it since 3/4 days, tere chehre ki chamak kuch zyaada hi badh gayi hai !"
Before Naveen could say anything, Shalini, who was heading for a cataract surgery said,
" Oh don't you know Raj? Naveen ki iss khushi ka toh ek hi reason hosakta hai....NAINA ! ", she smiled at Naveen who smiled back, " Okay bye guys...I am getting late !"
" Bye...all the best ! "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As they were heading towards canteen, Raj was saying something while Naveen was walking silently,with a broad smile plastered on his face.
" NAVEEEEENNNNNN !", Raj screamed.
" Kya hua Raj? Chilla kyun raha hai?"
" Chilla kyun raha hoon? Kabse main kuch keh raha hoon tumse....lekin tumhara toh dhyaan hi nahi ! And why the hell are you smiling like an IDIOT???"
" Can you believe it !!! My sis is coming back !! And finally we both will be living together..."
Raj gave him a weird look...
" You know she claimed a gold medal too ! My god !! I dont believe it !! My lil Sis...an Anesthetist !! ", Naveen exclaimed, " You know Maine usse kaha ki woh yahi aajaye ! And woh bhi maan gayi ! Waise bhi...woh meri koi baat nahi taalti ! She loves me a lot ! "
Raj looked around disinterestedly...that was nothing new...
Naveen was never short of praises about Naina.
It was like, now Raj too knew her in and out....but Naveen never introduced her to him.
Leave alone introduction, he NEVER EVER showed her photograph to him.
" Raj ? Ab tu kya sochne lag gaya? zaroor Ritu ke baaremein na?"
" SHUT UP NAVEEN ! Main kyun sochu uske baaremein? Saale kabse request kar raha hoon tujhe ! Koi raasta bata yaar ! Kisi tarah mera peecha chootein uss make up box se ! "
Naveen laughed.
" Tu bhi na....straight away bol kyun nahi deta usse?"
" Kamse kam 100 times bol chuka hoon ! "
" Hmmmm....Gynaecologist hai...'ZOR' toh lagayegi."
" That was a YUCK joke Nav ! DONOT disrespect any branch of medicine.All of them are equally important ! "
" ya....especially Ritu's Gynaecology ! ", Naveen teased and Raj started hitting him.
"Arey arey rukkk !! Naina ka phone aa raha hai..."
Raj sighed....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A girl entered the hospital campus.
She was enchanted by the hospital surroundings and atmosphere.
" Wow !!! Its so homely ! Bhaai was right !", she exclaimed , " Ohkkk...Now lemme call him...."
As she called him...
" Hey gudiya !"
"Bhaai !!!! ", she shreiked, " I am here in the hospital !"
Naveen laughed at the other end.
" Yeh tu aaramse bhi bol sakti thi na? Grow up Kiddo! Now you are an Anaesthetist."
" Yeah !!! Bhaai it will be fun na ! Me and you will work together !! Woww !!! I am so excited !!! And now i'll know ki aap exactly karte kya ho Patient ke saath....or should I consider working with bhabs???"
" Bass bass break maar !! Pehle Dr.Siddharth tumhe select toh karle ! "
" You doubt about that? "
" Nopes !! I know you will be selected ! Afterall My sis, isnt it? waise tu hai kaha? I am just done with my surgery and..."
" So that means, you still have to have your lunch, right? So go and have it first...I'll manage."
" But...tum akele kaise...."
" Bhaai ! I am an ANAESTHETIST now....", she repeated his words, " not a kid anymore..."
" Ohkkkkk Kiddo ! ", he said affectionately.
" Love ya bhaai ! Will see you later ! "
" Love ya too ! Bye !"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" So???? Not going for your ' Gudiya' ??", Raj asked.
" Nopes !!! Madam ka order hai ki main pehle chup chap jaake lunch karu and she'll manage ! "
"TUUUUU aur ek hi baar mein maan gaya ! ", Raj exclaimed, " Hmmm...Milna padega teri behense...."
" Chup bey !! "
" Kyun? Dar gaya, ki she too will be smitten by my charm ! "
" Nahi...I am worried ki YOU too will be BEATEN by her sandal too ! Aur shayad aap bhool gaye ki uska ek bhaai bhi hai."
" Bekar ki hool mat de ! You very well know I am not scared of you..."
" yaa....But you are scared of SOMEONE....And I am gonna call that SOMEONE....", he winked.
" Hey Ritu !!! ", Naveen waved her to join them while Raj glared at him menacingly.
" Main iss waqt bahot bure mood mein hoon ! ", Ritu said.
" Wow ! ", Raj spoke under breath.
" Tumne kuch kaha, Raj?" , she asked him as sweetly as she could in that spoilt mood.
" No ! Main kabhi bhi tumse kuch kehta hoon kya?" , he said with a plastic smile on his face.
She sighed, " Wahi toh...."
" EXCUSE ME ??", Raj said.
But Naveen intervened in time, " But... Ritu, hua kya hai?"
" Oh Poocho matt ! Ek aurat aayi thi.Apne aap ko kisi MLA ki relative bata rahi thi. 4 mths pregnant !Sonography karwana chahti hai. Jaan na chahti hai, ladka hai ya ladki. Agar boy hai toh theek hai, aur agar girl hui toh....."
" Usse yeh nahi maalum ki aisa karwaana crime hai.She can be arrested.", Naveen asked disgusted.
" Mera mann toh kiya ki main Police ko phone kardu...par fir maine usse kaha, ki woh zara Dr. Siddharth se mil ley."
" Arey waha kaha bhej diya ? ", Raj said, " Woh toh goli maar denge !"
" Toh achcha hai ! huh ! baithi hogi unke office mein !"
" Shit ! ", Raj cursed under breath, " Naveen main abhi aata hoon..."
and he ran towards his Dad's cabin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Dekhiye main aapko Dr. Siddharth se nahi milne de sakti. Hamare yaha aise test nahi hote ... Aap jayiye yahase.", Receptionist informed the lady.
Just then Naina entered the office as the receptionist shooed the lady away.
" Excuse me ! "
" Yes..."
" I am Dr. Naina Singh."
" Oh ! Hello...aap andar baithiye, main Dr. Siddharth ko inform karti hoon."
" okay..."
Naina was rumaging through some magazine when,
" Excuse me ! "
Naina looked up to find a handsome man standing in front of her.
" ummm...yes?"
" Aap Dr. Siddharth se milna chahti hai?"
" Jee haan..." , she got up , " Main...."
But before she could say anything....
" MY GOD ! ", Raj said almost disgustingly ," Aap ko dekhkar lagta nahi ki aap...huh ! Kya kahu???"
He turned his back towards her, while she looked at him confused.
" Kya main aapse pooch sakta hoon ki aapne aapke iss kaam ke liye yahi hospital kyun chuna?"
" Woh mujhe mere bhaai ne kaha, ki mere liye isse behtar hospital nahi hosakta.", she said smiling widely.
" What are you saying????", Raj asked shocked.
" Yeah...", Naina said as a matter of factly, " And by the way, I've heard a lot about this hospital and people working here."
" And you believed whatever you've heard, Mrs...."
" Mrs. nahi...Miss.", Naina corrected him.
" Oh god ! ", Raj muttered , " Yeh bhi ek ANGLE hai..."
Then he asked her, " Matlab you are unmarried?"
" Iss kaam keliye married hona zaroori hai?", Naina frowned.
" Nahi !!! Bilkul zaroorat nahi hai ! Aaj kal Shaadi toh kya, Sharam ki bhi zaroorat nahi hai ! Aapko sharam toh bilkul nahi aati na?", he asked angrily.
" MATLAB???", Naina was furious now.
" ' Matlab' ka kya matlab hai haan? Ek toh you are unmarried, uparse you are Pregnant !"
Naina looked at him shocked.
" Khair...It's your life ! I've got nothing to interfere ! But do you know, that sex determination is a crime? And I can complain the police aur aapko jail bhi bhijwa sakta hoon?"
" Aur main aapko PAAGALKHAANE bhijwa sakti hoon ! But first I want to know, who the hell you are ?", she yelled.
" Dr. RAJ MALHOTRA ! ", he said, " Aapki taarif??"
" NAINA ! ", she said sternly, " Dr. NAINA SINGH !"
" Doc..torrrr...Nai....Naina???", he stuttered.
" Yes ! Anaesthetist hoon ! Aur woh nahi hoon jo aap samajh rahe hai."
" I....I...guess we have a sort of misunderstanding..."
" NOT WE mister....YOU had misunderstanding."
" ye...yess."
" Dr.Naina?", a voice came from behind.
" KYA HAI?", she snapped and turn around to see her brother standing with an elderly person.
" Dr. Siddharth Malhotra...", Raj's Dad introduced himself, " And yeh mera beta, Dr. Raj Malhotra, Cardiosurgeon hai, aur aapke bhaai ko aapse better kaun jaanta hai, issliye no need to introduce him.", he winked.
" Right Sir ! ", Naina smiled.
" Waise I went through your certificates and your thesis. Good ! I am really very glad, that you are eager to work here with us. Agar main Physician nahi hota, toh shayad hum zaroor saath kaam karte. Filhaal aap Dr.Raj ki surgical team mein ho."
" But...."
" I know you would like to work with your brother, but the Anaesthetist in Raj's team is leaving the hospital. So....", he shrugged, " Anyways, I have to go.See you around beta."
He patted her head and left.
" So sis?" , Naveen wound his arm around her shoulder, " Happy???"
" Yeah Why not?? I am Very HAPPY ! ", she said sarcastically, " And now I have to work with Psychos ! "
" What?", Naveen asked confused.
" Look Naina...", Raj started...
" DOCTOR Naina...", she cut him.
" Ummm...yeah...Dr.Naina, see that was all a mistake and I am ready to apologize....."
" WOW !!! I'm Obliged ! ", she said.
" Hey gudiya ! Hua kya hai? Aur maine kaha tha na main tumhe mere best friend se milwaunga? Lekin tum toh pehle hi mil li ! ", Naveen said looking at Raj.
" YEH ???? ", Naina asked indicating Raj.
" Haan...Parr tum aise kyun react kar rahi ho?"
" Woh Naveen...main...mujhe....woh lady...MLA ki relative...aur main usse counsel...par yaha Naina...I mean Dr.Naina....", Raj was fumbling.
Naina was looking at him all the time. She found his fumbling and flustered expressions very cute and burst out laughing.
" Huh?" , Raj look at Naina confused.
" Bhaai ! Aapka dost bilkul paagal hai....", Naina said still laughing, and then narrated everything to Naveen, who was almost rolling on the floor with laughter.
Raj was embarassed.
But as he looked at her, his embarassment was all forgotten.
' Naina looks beautiful when she laughs...', he thought, ' Whole face lit up with happiness....'
He smiled as he gazed at her beautiful face. She looked innocent, yet matured, but with a streak of naughtiness.
' Oye Raj ! Kya kar raha hai? Usse ghoorna bandh kar ! Bhool gaya Naveen ne indirectly kya warn kiya tha?', he chided himself....
' But ...She is Beautiful....', he thought.
" Raj ! kaha khoya hai?" , Naveen's voice brought him back to senses.
" Kahin nahi...", he said, still looking at her and then tearing his gaze away with difficulty.
Never ever was he so much attracted to any girl..............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PRESENT....
Both of them were lying on the bonnet of his car....together...in each other's arms.....staring at the starry night sky.
" Raj....."
" Hmm......"
" Bhaai ko kab batayenge?"
" Batana zaroori hai?"
" Kya matlab??" , Naina at once separated from him.
He pulled her closer again, " Matlab....ummm....look , you are an Anaesthetist , right?"
She nodded.
" Toh...Kya tum usse anaesthesize nahi karsakti? In the meanwhile, we'll get married ! Aur fir saala kar bhi kya sakta hai?"
" Shut up ! Aur mere bhaai ko gaali mat do ! "
" Arey ab saale ko saala nahi kahunga toh aur kya kahunga? And believe me...this is the safest option we have ! "
" Tum bhaai ko bata rahe ho ya nahi?", she warned.
He took a deep breath and fished out his cell.
Naina stared at him as he made a call.
" Hello..... Naveen?? Ya...Raj here !"
Naina looked at him in shock ! She was about to stop him, but he
raised his hand.
" woh maine call issliye ki thi, kyunki....ummm...woh...actually yaar...I LOVE NAINA....hellooooo??? Tu hai ?? Naveen....??? "
She was tensed.
" Ohhhh !!! Thank god you are alright !! Warna pata chala, apni ROMANTIC date ko chodkar mujhe mere saale ki heart surgery keliye aana padta ! "
Naina looked at Raj dumbfounded.
" Ummm...Yaaa...woh yahi hai, mere saath. Aur hum kaha hai , yeh toh main tujhe batane se raha....Dont worry ! I wont be late and will drop her soon....", he was about to hang up but then suddenly, " Arey sun !!! Can you do me a favour??? Please , Dad ko bhi bata dena !....... ohkkk bye !! Good night !! "
And as he looked at Naina, " Happy???"
" You know what? mera tumhare baaremein pehla opinion hi right tha ! ", she said, " Tum bilkul paagal ho ! "
" Haan !! ", he pulled her face closer and whispered , " Tumhare pyaar mein...."
And his lips met hers........................
