Love & Life
Part 9
Sanjeevani 9 am, nurse station. Everyone except Dr. Heena is present
As Dr.Keerti assigns duties, Ammy notices that Heena is not present, however he wonders if it's safe to ask Dr.Keerti about her. He also notices that Riddhima has puffy eyes, but he knows it is better to avoid talking to her in order to prevent another ugly situation being created in Sanjeevani.
Keerti-"Dr. Naina, aap please Dr. Heena ke cabin mein report karein"
Naina worried in case Heena found out about the interns' Saturday plan-"Dr. Heena ke office?"
Keerti irritated at Naina-"Yes Dr. Heena aaj yahaan subah 7 am ko hi aa gayi thein. Unhein patients ke kuch tests karwane thei. Woh results dekh rahi hain apne cabin mein. Aur aap unko iss case par assist kar rahi hain."
Ammy thinking to himself-'Achha aaj subah subah hi Sanjeevani mein. Wow, really impressive Dr. Heena.'
As Keerti finished, all the interns and senior docs left for their duties. Keerti stopped Ammy.
Keerti-"Dr.Armaan, ab aapko Dr.Heena ko ghar pahunchane ki zaroorat nahin hai"
Ammy a little suprised-"Huh, I mean woh kyon Dr.Keerti?"
Keerti sensing that Ammy didn't have his morning coffee-"Kyunki unki transportation ka intezaam ho gaya hai. She's been provided a car for her travel needs"
Ammy putting up a smile-"Ah ok Dr.Keerti." ' Chalo ab Nakhrewali ke nakhre mujhe nahin uthaane honge!'
Dr. Heena's Office:
Heena and Naina are going over test results, and Naina is taking notes. They are discussing the best approaches regarding the patient's case.
Heena-"We've determined that the tests are positive, and that it is the initial stage"
Naina-"So we have good chances to remove the cancer"
Heena as she emails Naina some attachments-"Well better chances, but we still need to stay vigilant. To ensure we have completely eradicated the cancer, we need to have the patient under surveillance for the next 5 yrs. So Dr. Naina schedule a briefing session with patient and the patient's family. We need to get going asap. And please refer to the notes I've emailed you. They are vital for the treatment. You need to know the techniques if we are to use them. And if you don't understand something, don't feel shy to come ask me. That's why I'm your senior, Ok?"
Naina-"Dr. Heena, can I ask you something"
Heena looking away from her laptop, towards Naina-"Sure"
Naina-"How are you so knowledgeable? I'm in awe of you at times"
Heena laughing -"No need to be in awe Naina. I hope you are not intimidated!"
Ammy knocks at the door as Heena finishes her sentence.
Heena looking at the door-"Yes Doctor, do come in. Something I can help with?"
Ammy-"Yes, we need to discuss this bone cancer case Doctor. I hope I'm not disturbing you"
Heena looking at Naina as she's unsure if Naina has more questions. Naina figures it's her cue to leave.
Naina-"Well, Dr. Heena, I'll go prepare myself. Thank you"
Ammy smiles teasingly at Heena as Naina heads out-"And Dr. Naina you don't need to be awe of a doctor who already in her intership days had medical articles published in the American Journal of Medicine"
Naina smiles at Ammy thinking 'Waah, kaafi research kar rahein Armaan Bhaiya Dr. Heena ke baare mein. Main inki baatein chupke chupke door ke peeche se sunti hoon'
Heena smiling-"So you were playing detective I see"
Ammy as he sits- "Well, see I have this patient's case. And I figured let's see what would be the best treatment, and guess what I found. So many articles written by Dr. Heena Verma. The very same Dr. Heena who was with me Saturday evening. Who would have thought!"
Heena remebering the night-"Yeah yeah..."
Ammy getting a soft-"Heh listen. I wanted to say something. I wanted to say..I wanted to say..."
Heena looking at Ammy wanting to irritate him-"Yes go on Doctor...You know I don't have all day!"
Ammy annoyed by her pushing him-"Arrey yaar, Sorry bolne ka time bhi nahin deti ho tum."
Heena started giggling at Ammy's confession. She knew he was a good person at heart.
Ammy feeling a little relaxed-"Haan, mujhe woh nahin kehna chahiye tha Saturday. You were justified in your temper. I wanted to apologize you this Saturday night itself, but I couldn't call you so late, and then I figured it was best to say it person, but I couldn't met you Sunday, because I know you wouldn't like me coming up at your place, so I had to wait till today. And I was waiting for you in the morning at the nurse station, but Dr.Keerti said you already were waiting for Naina in your office, and abhi abhi mujhe break mila! So I'm sorry about Saturday"
Heena smiling at Ammy-"Apology accepted"
Ammy grinning cutely-"So, ab hum friends hain na?"
Heena pretending she didn't get what he meant-"Excuse me, I don't think we're on the same wavelength"
Ammy-"Chalo chalo. Ab bano mat! When I dropped you off Saturday night, you addressed me as Dr. Armaan. Otherwise you never do that!"
Heena-"Ab kya har baat tumhe specify karni hogi buddhu ram? Just in case you were still lost, yes I've decided to be a little less formal with you"
Ammy still a little unsure, and wanting to make no mistakes this time-"So friends?"
Heena sighing as she rolled her eyes-"Yes, friends!"
Naina in the meantime was busy eavesdropping, and her eyes get bigger as she hears this 'Waah, kya baat hai. Gaadi pattri par aa rahi hai dheere dheere!'
Sanjeevani Cafe:
Naina rushes to the Cafe, to give the hot news to her friends. As she informed her gang, everyone 'hi-fived' each other on a mission well accomplished.
All the interns are then busy looking at the pictures of Yuvi's b'day bash. They even took pics of Ammy and Heena dancing, and of when Ammy had put his arm around Heena.
Suvarna on the senior docs' pic-"They make a hot couple, no?"
JP-"Aapne bilkul sahi kaha ji"
Soon Riddhima came to join them. Siddhant was missing the fun as he was in OT. She forced a smile on her face as the interns showed her pics of her and Siddhant. However, Ammy & Heena's pics caught her attention. She just kept looking at them without blinking an eye. Kabhi socha bhi nahin tha ek din eisa aayega. She then remembered her stupid fights with Ammy over Dr. Shubhankar's cousin Babli, and how it all now seemed meaningless. 'Woh zindagi mein aage badh gaya hai Riddhima. Tumhe khush hona chahiye ki jiske saath woh aage badha hai, woh ladki har tarah se uske laayak hai.' This was her head, but how could she convince her heart? Riddhima excused herself from the interns on the pretext she had to some run some patients' tests. She couldn't let anyone see the tears that were brimming her eyes.
Shortly after Riddhima left, Ammy had coaxed Heena in coming to the cafe with him to ensure that indeed she had fully accepted his apology. The interns started to whisper as they see both Ammy & Heena coming together:
Naina-"Pyaar ki pehli seedhi takkaar, jo in mein Saturday ko ho gayi. Aur ab pyar ki doosri seedhi dosti par chadhey hain humare pyare pyare senior docs"
Yuvi-"Ab dekhein aage aage hota hai kya!"
JP-"Jo bhi ho Bade Bhaiya, humein khush hona chahiye , ki kam se kam ab Armaan Bhaiya ke liye ek dost toh hai"
Suvarna agreeing-"JP sahi keh raha hai"
As Heena saw the interns, she smiled and waved at them.
Suvarna-"Dr. Heena would you like to see Yuvi b'day bash pics?"
Ammy teasingly addressing Suvarna-"Yeh invitation lagta hai sirf Dr. Heena ke liye hai!"
Yuvi-"Arrey nahin, Dr. Armaan please aap bhi aayiye. Aapke bhi pics hain"
Heena compliments her interns on their pics:
Heena-"Well Dr. Naina & Dr. Suvarna you both look so pretty in the pics. And the male interns as well are very dashing"
Suvarna & Naina showing the pic of Ammy with his arm around Heena- "Well Dr. Heena, we thought someone else was looking breathtakingly gorgeous Saturday"
Ammy seeing the pic, decides to self-compliment himself to tease Heena -"Arrey, gorgeous nahin girls, you mean to say handsome, charming, macho" and turning towards Heena he whispers "waise iss pic ko dekhkar koi nahin keh sakta tum behen ji type ho!" And then he drops his teasing tone and tells Heena "And I don't think you're the behen ji type. The first time I saw you, I was shocked to learn that you were such a renowned doctor. Tumhari jagah main kisi kharoos buddhe ko soch raha tha!" Heena couldn't stop herself from smiling after hearing Ammy's last line. The interns on the other hand were exchanging looks and smirking at the interaction between the two senior docs.
Sanjeevani 9 p.m:
Shanky passes by Heena's office. He is suprised to see Dr. Heena still in her cabin working. He knocks at her door
Heena seeing Shanky, gets up-"Ah yes Hello Dr.Gupta"
Shanky-"Hello Doctor. How come you're still here. You've been working long hours I've heard from Dr.Keerti."
Heena-"Ah, no Dr.Gupta. There was just some things that I wanted to wrap up before tomorrow. But I am done now, and was about to leave"
Shanky-"Then come along then. We'll go together"
Heena-"Sure"
As Heena and Shanky came to the reception desk, they met Sister Stella. She didn't look well.
Heena-"Sister are you ok? You don't seem well"
Sister-"Just very tired Dr. Heena"'
Heena approached to touch her head. Sister Stella had a burning fever.
Heena-"Sister you have a fever. Have you taken any medications?"
Stella-"No Doctor"
Shanky then prescribes the medications-"Sister aap please yeh meds le lijiyega"
Stella-"Thank you Sir"
Heena-"Sister go take the meds. I wil drop you home afterwards. I'm here waiting for you. I know it won't take you more than 5 mins"
Stella-"Thank you so much Dr. Heena"
Heena smiling-"Ah don't mention it. Just hurry up Sister"
Shanky addressing Heena-"Well Dr. Heena, I'll get going now. Bye" 'Kitna kaam karti hai yeh ladki, kabhi kabhi lagta hai yeh machine hai. Aur har waqt doosron ke baare mein sochti rehti hai. Bahut kam eise log hote hain duniya mein.' Shanky thought as he parted towards his car.
