In ridhima's house she too is thinking about sid and is too lost in her thoughts when her phone rings, its anjalie

Anje: hey ridhzi! thoo kaisa tha thera din ?

R: it was gd dee ..patha hai main aj sid se mili voh mera naya boss hai, he is covering renu for the time being

Anje: omg! Thune uss se bath ki..kya thune use bataya

R: nahi deee, sid bahut badal chukka hai , voh purana sid nahi reha, kafi acha doctor ban gaya hai aur uthna he sakth..voh bahut he professional hai aur mujse esse hi bath kartha hai jaise like other team members,aur outside duty hours kabhi milta bhi nahi'

A: tuje use ek bar bath karni chahiye

R: well! Dee usne tho saf saf keh diya hai ki voh sirf muje professional level par consider karna chata hai 'he is here for a month ' dee muje patha nahi esa lagtha hai ki uske life mie koyi aur hai, akhir ithne saal hogaye hai humare divorce ko tho may be usne fir se shadhi kar li ?.. agar woh kisi se off duty casually milta hai tho voh hai ek lady cardiologist'

Their conversation carries on and they discuss more about and at the end R says: patha nahi dee I wana clear everything but dar lagtha hai, abhi sid mere sath 1 month hoga lekin agar sach batadiya thoo shayad gusse me hamesha ke liye fir se chod kar chala jaye '..

Next day was a pretty busy day for both Sid and rids they both had only 45mins of break and where completely nacked by the time they headed for lunch.Sid went to the cafeteria and grabbed some food to eat.He made himself comfortable on a chair in the balcony enjoying the view,rids 2 came to the cafeteria, saw sid and after a brief debate in her mind she decides to join him..as she walks towards his table..sid is quickly joined by Tam 'seeing this she is disappointed and changes her mind'Sid and tam enjoy some gd time with each other'.Rids has some kind of hard feelings seeing them together,''y am I getting so insecure he is not mine, we are divorced but still inspite of all these years y does it still makes a difference..infact this time a far more intense than ever''

He closes his eyes as if he doesn't wanna respond but she gets outside his car and he is forced into a situation where he cannot avoide speaking 2 her..

S: Hi ..tum thik ho ? ( with very cold expressions )

R: haa..aur tum ?

S: abhi thak tho hu'

R : ummmmmm'. Kya hum sath mie coffee pee sakthe haii ?

S: I am quite tired at the moment aur fir kal bhi duty hai

R: sid ! please main janta hu ki tum mujse..ummm( she loosed her words )..please coffee pee loo ( she makes a pleadin face)

S: fine! I will come

R: follow my car yehi pas mi eek achi si coffee shop hai hum vahi bayat ke bath bhi kar sakthe hai

They head off and reach the coffee shop..they sit in a quite isolated part of the shop where they sit..muje shayad sid se bath karni chahiye..I don't care ki aj uske zindagi mie koyi hai ya nahi lekin I have to tell the truth though ..Sid is looking around..when the waiter comes around'

R: kya loge ? .....coffee rite

R: tea? Jaha tak mai janti hu tumhe coffee pasand thii

S: pasand thii ( he emphasises )aur vaise bhi pasand badal jathi hai waqt ke sath aur insane bhi

Rids is finding it hard to start off, when she finds him staring at her fingers'

R: I am not engaged

S: maine pooocha nahi

R: tum meri hath ki taraf dekh rahe the thoo laga

Sid's phone starts ringing he answers the call saying' I will be there soon

R: umm sid tumhe jana hai kya

S: ha bus 10-15 mins mie nikal javooga

R: sid tumse humare past ke bare mie bath karna chati huu

R: lekin

S: tumhe mera dil todne ka koyi haq nahi tha, aur..( he holds his words back) ..u know what forget it

Saying this he stands up in frustration and leaves

He reaches home has a shower and freshens up ..he calls sanjeev later that night and tells him about what has happened Sanjeev tells him not to loose his temper.He also narrates to him all the events that happened ever since he has arrived including meeting rids ,Tam and description of what has happened in her life..

Sanjeev: ek bath kahu

S: kya?

Sanjeev: u should consider tam, she is a widow and uska bhi ek bacha hai, tum hara bhi..voh tumhari poorani pasand bhi reh chuki hai so y not consider her

S:nahi yarrr, all my feelings for tam had died the day when I fell in love with ridhima, she was my lawful wife so I got over my feelings to give her everything that she was entitled 2 but shayad usse voh kucch nahi chaiye thaa..well its past'

Sanjeev: sid fir bhi sooch loo, u can again fall in love with tam

S: jab se ridhimma se shadhi ki tab se one girl guy huu..aur tam ke liye meri feelings mar chuki hai I don't think they can come alive again,sahi mayine mie maine sirf ek he ladki se pyarr kiya hai voh thee ridhima, lekin ithne saloo thak mai samjtha reh a ki voh kisi aur ki pathni hai and its wrong to fantasis about someone elses wife issilye I had 2 buried my feelings for her too aur yeh sab saalo ki mehnath ka natteja hai..aur jaha rehi tam ki bath, she is gd friend of mine now, tuje tho patha hai divorce ke bad maine kahi dost rekhe siwaye tumhare aur sapna ke'lekin jab se tam se mila hu essa lagtha hai ki purani dosti mil gayi hai..yarrr pyar se important dosti hai..aur main uski dosti ko khona nahi chata

Sanjeev: I understand buddy jaise tumhari icha 'I just hope the best for u

Sid: vaise hows sapna and baby

Sanjeev: they all are doing well..oii btw Neeta ne tuje track karne ki thanne li hai.

Sid: kya

Sid:voh ladki pagal hai

Sanjeev : ha tere pyar mie..lol (teasing )

Sid : pyarr more like obsession voh kyo nahi samajtii..uske samne uski poori zindagi padi ahi aur usse ek se bad kar ek ladka miljayega, thu bas usko matt bathana ki main yaha hu, hospital mai bhi sab top confidential hai so nothing will leak out

Sanjeev: jaisa tum kaho

Sid: acha main phone rakhtha hu, kal meri early shift hai

Sanjeev: gd nite buddy

Sid: gd nyt

After placing the receiver down sanjeev just prays in his mind 'ey kudha is ko bhi fir se pyarr karana sikha de'

For the next few days Sid avoided rids although they worked in the same department sid made sure that they would see less of each other.

It was a wednesday morning, 2^nd week of Sid's start. Sid & rids were scheduled to work together @ the childrens A& E.They had a new case around, a severe reaction to a bee sting'Ridma takes the case along with the nurses, meanwhile Sid is on a tour of the ward checking on other patients.

The nurse tries to calm the child's mother while Rids continue examaining the little girl.Rids heard her explaining what was going on, but the women didn't appear to be listening.She was trying to push her way forward and forward, again, trying to be close to her child.

Rids: I am going to have to intubate, there's already a lot of swelling and its going to be difficult but we need to get he on oxygen right away.As soon as the tube was in Place,Rids puts in an IV line and started to give the child more adrenaline.

The mother edged her way forward 'why is that tube down her throat ? is it bad ? she looks awful.her lips are swollen up,why is she wheezing like that ?'

Rids ignores the mother and says to the nurse quietly lets raise the child's girl,this should improve her circulation.To the mother she said ' the tube is here to help her to breathe.she's weezing because her chest is tight and so I am going to give her medication along with the oxygen to try to improve the situation.The saltbutamol will help to widen her airways.'

The child's condition didn't improve and the mother was becoming more and more agitated as the time went by.Rids turned to her..' as I said before the child has suffered a nasty reaction to the bee sting.We are doing everything we can to put things right .what I need you to do is remain very calm and hold your daughters hand.u need 2 be quite 4 her and do whatever to soothe her gently 'Sid walks in and recieve's a brief summary from the nurse of the situation, he goes around to the mother and share few quick words of sympathy and sends a nurse around to take her to the waiting room.Meanwhile a nurse shouted 'The child isn't breathing, there's no pulse'Rids and sid work together to get the child back, they give her cardiac compression to start the heart' we need more adrenaline' she said and breathes a sigh of relief when the child's pulse returned.Let's get some fulids into her and we will try an antistamine and steroids' he said..After some time, the child began to respond to the treatment and both sid and rids sigh a breath of relief.rids leaves for the waitng room 2 speak to the child's mother while sid's udating the drug chart.Rids comes back in a bit and starts checking the patient again, when Sid about to leave he asked her to meet him in his cabin .She follow him into his cabin,

Once they are in his cabin he closes the door and has a go at rids, she was shocked to hear his accusations...

Rids suddenly becomes aware of what she has done..Sid is well annoyed and keeps on bashing her with words''ridhima is job mie rehne ke liye iske liye ek passion chahiye, logo ke nazaria se bhi sochna padtha hai..lekin tum kya janogi yeh sab, tumhe kya patha ki ek parent par kya beethi hai..tumhe tho bus logo ka dil tona atha hai'

As soon ridhima hears these words coming out she freezes, tears come out of her eyes, she is hurt beyond description, Sid suddenly realises what he just spoke'Rids then run out of his cabin into the fire exit and cries her heart out.

Rids: shayad sid ne sach he kaha maine sif uska dil thoda hai hamesha lekin maine hamesha apne patients ka bhi bhala chaha hai

Once sid finishes his duty he heads for home on the way he visits his new house, to which he should be moving soon, after that he goes to a near by card shop where is looking for some teddies for rahul, he picks up a toy and is heading into the books section,where he is scanning through some books..he comes across this books called 'love & only love' lol he thinks to himself 'love, strong word eyyy but not for me but y not just see what the book has to say about love''he walks towards the book and extends his hands towards it when some else picks it 2 similtanously..he lifts his glances to find ridhima there..he feels uncomfy'he glances at her and then quikly looks away

Ridhima: tum yeh book lelo tum ne yeh pahle lee thi

S: nahi! Koyi zaroorat nahi hai ..vaise bhi this book is about love aur mie pyarr mie yakeen nahi rakhtha ..Ridhima is about to same something when Sid's phone rings he walks away without saying a good bye 'Ridhima in her mind ' sid mie janati hu halaton ke shayad tumhari is negative badlav ka karan mai he hu lekin I have never wished u to be in such a position.'

Sid heads of to reception and picks up his packet and then speaks on his phone while walking to his car...
