Dil Se Dosti (part 8 in pg 26) - Page 3

One of the best hospitals in india is Sanjeevani in mumbai. A history of fame and glory is associated with this hospital. It is the best not only because of the best doctors and latest technologies, but also it is the utmost dedication of the doctors which adds to the glorious reputation of Sanjeevani and makes it the best.

Today is a very important day for Sanjeevani as preparations are being made to welcome the inception of another generation of glory and fame, to welcome a new batch of interns. All the staffs and doctors are busy in arrangements which shoul be perfect as usual.

(Cabin of DR. Shashank gupta ' The Incharge of Sanjeevani)

Dr. Shashank Gupta is engrossed in some files, sitting on his chair, the back of which is facing the entrance door to his cabin. Someone knocked at the door.

DR. Shashank: "Come in."

Pushing the door open enters a beautiful lady in a blue saree. She's in her mid 40's and her white labcoat is sufficient to identify her as a doctor.

DR. Shashank turns around to face her.

DR. Shashank: "Good morning Dr. Riddhima"

Dr. Riddhima (With a sweet smile): "Good morning Sir"

Dr. Shashank (smiling back): " Aaj hum sabke liye ek bahut hi khaas din hain."

Dr. Riddhima: "bilkul Sir"

Dr. Shashank: "Today we are going to welcome a new batch of interns. Aur unka reporting time kya hain?"

Dr. Riddhima: "Subah ke gyarah baje , Sir."

Dr. Shashank: "Hmmmm'.abhi saare dus baj rahe hain. Aasha hain ki wo log waqt par aa jaye."

Dr.riddhima: "Mujhe bhi yehi aasha hain, Sir."

DR. Shashank: "Toh kya hum taiyar hain?"

Dr. riddhima: "Hum bilkul taiyar hain sir."

DR. Shashank: "Excellent. Dr. Armaan kaha hain?"

Before Riddhima can reply, another knock is there on the door and enters a handsome doctor. Though he's in his mid 40's, he aapears to be very charming, cheerful and jovial. Also age has not marred is handsome features.

Dr. Shashank: "Please come in DR. Armaan."

Dr. Armaan comes in and stands beside Dr. Riddhima.

DR. Riddhima: "Kaha the tum aur itni der kaise ho gayi tumhein?"

Armaan (smiling sweetly): "Itna kaha? Bas 10 min late ho gaya. Aur''ummm''well, ek bahut jaruri call tha jise main avoid nehi kar sakta tha."

Riddhima (narrowing her eyes): "Aur yeh fir se 'wo' hogi shayad, hain na?"

Dr. Shashank has been smiling till now at the 'somewhat personal' conversation between the duo, his beloved younger daughter and his son in law. However now, listening to Riddhima's reply, he's a little surprised. Though he is well aware of the intence bond of love between his Armaan and Riddhima, still his filial love makes him a little concerned which arouses his curiosity regarding the identity of this 'she'.

Unable to refrain himself from enquiring, DR. Shashank turns to Riddhima: "Aur yeh 'wo' kaun hain, riddhima?"

The note of concern as well as a little anxiety in his tone can hardly be missed.

Realising the seriousness that is presently prevailing over the atmosphere inside the cabin, riddhima giggles heartily and replies: "Aur kaun Papa? Iski laadli sehjaadi. Usko toh choti se choti baat ke liye bhi apne dad ko call karna hota hain aur uske dad toh hain hi humesha taiyar apne princess ke liye. Pata hain papa is larki ko bigarne mein sabse bara haath na is insaan ki hain (pointing to Armaan). Armaan ka andha pyar aur uski is larki ki har baat mein haami bharne ki aadat ne usko bahut jiddi bana diya hain."

Armaan, who has been grinning and a mute audience of Riddhima's complaints all the while, now interrupts: "Actually jid use apne mom se virasat mein mila hain. Toh main bechara is mein kya kar sakta hu?"

Both Dr. Shashank and Armaan start laughing at this.

Riddhima (utterly surprised and glaring at Armaan): "Armaan'..tum'.."

Seeing his two best doctors fighting like kids, Dr. Shashank shakes his head, thinking to himself that these two will never change and finally he decides to put an end to their verbal battle.

Dr. Shashank: "Ab bas bhi karo tum dono. Bacchon ki tarah larna bandh karo. Tum dono ab interns nehi rahe."

This slight rebuke of Dr. Shashank brings back both Armaan and Riddhima to their senses and they apologise to DR. Shashank, who is well aware of the fact that Though they keep arguing with each other in some thing or other, they love each other the most in this whole world and he is really happy and contented to get such a loving and caring person as a lifepartner for his daughter.

DR. Shashank (getting back to his professional mode once again): "Toh doctors, kya hum taiyar hain naye interns ke welcome ke liye?"

Both Armaan and Riddhima toghether: "Toh fir intezar kis baat ki hain? Humein chalna chahiye aur fir waqt bhi ho chala hain."

And all three of them come out of the cabin and toghether they proceed towards the conference hall of Sanjeevani.

(Outside Sanjeevani, on the yard between the hospital and its basket-ball court)

A blue racer bike comes to a halt and the biker gets off the bike. After turning the engine off, the biker pulls off the helmet and then the helmet. To the utter surprise of the nurses and wardboys and some other people present on the yard at the moment, as the biker pulls off the helmet, long, black and silky hair fall back revealing the biker to be a girl, that too with a beautiful and bold appearance with large and dark eyes. She thrusts the jacket in the bag which she has been carrying on her back and takes out the white lab coat of the doctors and puts it on. As she is about to move in, someone calls out from behind with a voice flooding with excitement and amazement.

"Arey wah tum toh larki ho! Mujhe toh apni aankhon par vishwas nehi ho raha."

She turns back to see a very sweet and innocent looking girl in salwar kameez standing at a distance of about 2-3 feets from her with her eyes wide in amazement and her mouth slightly open. Being from a small town, she's utterly surprised to see a girl like her riding a heavy racer bike with so much ease and skill. The biker girl: "Haan main larki hu. Kyun? Nehi hona chahiye tha?"

The other girl: "Nehi nehi''.actually main na bilkul hairaan ho gayi thi. Wo kya hain na maine aaj tak kabhi kisi larki ko itni acchi racer bike chalate hue nehi dekha na isliye'. Sorry"

The biker girl: "oh come on, never mind. Waise main Priya hu aur tum'"

The other girl: "Hi Priya. Mera naam Nisha hain."

Priya: "Tum bhi shayad ek doctor ho, hain na?"

Nisha smiles cheerfully: "Sahi kaha tumne. Lekin tumhein kaise pata? Maine toh tumhein nehi bataya aur nahi maine doctors ki labcoat pehna hain."

Priya smirks: " Kyunki mere aankhon se kuch bhi chup nehi sakta, choti se choti baat bhi nehi. (Glancing at the confused face of Nisha, Priya grins) Tumhari stethoscope ko, mujhe lagta hain, bahar nikalne ki kuch jyada hi jaldi hain."

And she attracts Nisha's attention to her bag from which her stethoscope is peeping out. Nisha looks down at her bag and then at looks up at Priya and then both the girls start giggling toghether. After a while, their giggle subsides.

Priya: "Toh fir chalein?"

Nisha : "chalo."

And both the girls set off toghether, chatting and laughing. Both are in a very happy and excited mood today.

As soon as they dissapear behind the entrance to the main building of Sanjeevani, an auto enters the boundary of Sanjeevani and comes to a halt on the same yard. A boy and a girl come out off the auto.

The boy (mumbling much to himself though much audibly): "Pata nehi mere car ko kya hua? Kal raat hi toh maine check kiya tha. Tab toh sab kuch thik tha. Fir aaj achanak tyre kaise puncture ho gaya? Aaj hi isko puncture hona tha. Humein is khatare mein toh nehi aana parta."

The girl: "Arjun auto itni bhi buri sawari nehi hain. Kitna accha lag raha tha na auto mein hawa khatein hue aana. Car mein toh tum roz charte ho. Waise na apne car ko dosh mat do, bechare ki koi galti nehi. Tyres maine puncture kiya tha."

Arjun is all shocked: "kyaaa? Antara'.tumne? Par kyun?"

Antara (smiles naughtily): "kyunki mujhe auto mein aana tha isliye. Agar tyres puncture nehi hota toh kya tum mujhe auto mein aane dete. Nehi na, isliye."

Arjun:"Antara main humesha sochta hu ki tumpar gussa karunga par kabhi kar nehi pata."

Antara: "Wo isliye kyunki tum mujhse itna pyar jo karte ho."

Arjun (smiles):"Wo toh hain."

Antara smiles back: "Ab jyada urho mat, chalo andar nehi jaana kya?"

Another bike crosses the entrance gate of sanjeevani with two riders on it and comes to a halt on the yard. Both the riders get off the bike hastily.

As one of them is parking the bike in the parking zone, the other one says: "Harsh yaar jaldi kar. Warna pehle din hi humein uthake bahar phek denge."

Harsh: "Obe oye, Gaurav ke bacche, tujhe kya lagta hain main kya kar raha hu? Time pass?"

Gaurav(in a bit apolegetic tone): "Sorry dude. But we hv got 2 rush."

Harsh: "I know. What are we w8ing for? Lets run for it."

Gaurav: "Yes boss!" (And salutes him)

Laughing and teasing each other, both the friends enter the hospital.

Precap: Entry of Aryan and Aarzoo.
