Chapter Eleven
(I'm Feeling Different)
The next morning, Geet woke up to find herself feeling different...The sunrays were coming into her room even more brightly than before and she was very happy. Geet wore her favorite dark green anarkali and she let her hair out today... She wore her favorite heels and she didn't know why... but she couldn't stop thinking about last night. Geet blushed each time she thought of it. She smiled to herself while getting ready and then Meera came into her room to find her just staring at the mirror smiling.
" Oh ho... kya ho raha hai yahaan par Dr. Geet Handa?" said Meera with a wink. Geet turned her attention towards Meera and smiled, " I don't know Meera.. pata nahin kyun.. par... I can't stop thinking about last night". Meera crossed her arms while leaning on the doorframe, " Haan to?" " Everything seems so different today Meer... I feel like a new person..." said Geet in a half daydream state. " Geet.. tu Maan kay baaray mein soch rahi hai naa?" said Meera with a smirk.
Geet blushed and she tried looking away, " No..." " Yess.. idiot.. main tumhe bachpan se jaanti hoon... tu Maan ko pasand karnay lagi hai" said Meera rolling her eyes. " Noo.." said Geet. " Yes.. pagal.. accept karlay.. tu Maan se pyar karne lagi hai." said Meera. " Maybe... I think... Oh! I dont know!" said Geet as she got up and collected her things and took her bag.
They both walked down the hallway to find Nikki already downstairs and ready... Nikki turned around and smiled, " Good Morning di." Geet hugged Nikki and said, " Chalein?" " BreakfasT?" said Meera. " Nahi.. hum dono canteen chale jayenge.." said Geet. Meera nodded, " Great! I didn't make anything anyways.. I'l grab something on the way too". Geet nodded and hugged Meera and Nikki and Geet left.
Geet and Nikki reached the hospital to find Rahul, Armaan and Veer talking in the parkinglot with their motorcycles. Geet got out of the car and noticed Nikki's uneasiness with her clothes. " Nikki... you look cute... fikar mat kar... atleast you don't wear tiny clothes! you look good sis" smiled Geet. Nikki smiled, " I know.. par... my dresses... it seems like everybody likes to stare here". " No its okay Nikki.. ab chal...." said Geet as Nikki followed her.
Rahul, Armaan and Veer turned their attention towards the two girls and Armaan said, " Dr. Nikki eh? I heard she is Geet maam's younger sister... not badd." " She looks like a nice girl" said Rahul. " She's absolutely beautiful... although it'll be my first time talking to her today during our duties" said Veer. " Tu Dr. Nikki ko le lay... Armaan ke paas Shilpa hai.. aur Rahul kay paas Sonali" said Rahul with a smirk. " Chal...andar.. warna tera bhai humay mar dalega" said Armaan. Veer laughed, " Wait till I get my ass kicked on the first day". The guys laughed and went into the hospital.
Geet and Nikki were talking and then the three guys rushed up towards them. Geet stopped and nudged Nikki... " Veer wahaan hai." Nikki blushed, " Diii..." " Dii kya.." said Geet with a smirk. " Hi Geet maam!" said Armaan. " Hi Armaan.. kaisay ho?" said Geet. " Hum to theek hain.. par aapko dekh kar... hayee..." said Armaan with a flirty tone. " Mujhe dekh kar?" said Geet responding back with a smirk. " Agar aap humari senior doctor nahi hoti... to... humara mamla jum jaata" winked Armaan. Geet laughed, " Tum na.. bohot baray flirt ho Armaan.. thori si to sharam karo..." " Maam.. hum thoray se besharam se log hain.. par aapkay liye shareef ho jayenge" said Armaan. " Armaan!" laughed Geet. Armaan took Geet's hand and kissed it, " For the lovely senoritaa."
Just then, Maan came in and he saw what was going on. For some reason he got a little ticked off and he walked upto them and removed Geet's hand from Armaan's hold. " Armaan.. yeh kya ho raha hai?" said Maan with a slightly angry tone. Armaan stepped back and he looked a little scared, " Uh woh.. Dr. Maan.. main woh. uh... mazak kar raha tha" Geet laughed a little, " Maan... woh... kuch nahi.. they are just joking around... being young guys thats it.. chalein?".
Maan stopped for a second and turned around and then Geet realized what she had said, " Oh sorry. woh... Dr. Maan..." Maan loved the way his name sounded coming from her mouth. He looked at her, " Its okay". She looked around a little embarassed. Armaan, Nikki, Veer and Rahul noticed their little interaction and smiled, " I knew it" mumbled Armaan. They smiled, " We will see you at the front counter" said all of them together. They laughed a little and left Maan and Geet standing there.
Geet was blushing and Maan noticed her red face, " We are more acquinted to eachother now... so you calling me by my name is okay". She finally got the courage to say, " Okay... and same goes to you... you can call me by my name." Maan nodded and said, " Come this way... I have more details of the camp... that we are going to tomrrow". Geet nodded and she walked with Maan fidgeting with her duppata... she saw him walk in his typical arrogant style.
They entered his office and he took out a file and handed it to Geet. " Geet.. please read this... its important.." said Maan. She smiled and took the file and read it. Maan looked at her, she looked so good in that color... and he could notice that little hair in her face that was bothering her. He felt like moving it off her face and he was about to until Geet moved it behind her ear. " What the hell" thought Maan mentally slapping himself for that. Geet finished reading it and handed it to Maan. " Maan... are we meeting at the hospital tomorrow? or are you-" said Geet. " I'll pick you up" said Maan as he put the file away. Geet smiled, " Oh okay.. what time?" " Around eight o clock" said Maan. " Okay..."
" I'll go check on the interns" said Geet as she got her clipboard and she was about to go. Maan nodded and pretended to go back to work... Geet smiled and left the room... Maan slightly turned around and watched Geet leave... he could only smile a little and turn back to his work.
" DR. VEER...WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" yelled Geet as she came running in. " THIS IS THE CHILDRENS WARD! not a circus!" said Geet. Veer and Nikki stopped and turned around, " Woh maam"... " Woh maam kya!" said Geet. " Itna to sochliya hoga kay agar Dr. Maan ne aapko dekhliya.. to aapka haal kya hoga?" said Geet as she looked so worried. " Maam im sorry... woh.. I thought we would treat the child a different way" said Veer looking down a little guitly. " Dr. Veer... I appreciate you trying to help the children another way! but this is not the way!..." said Geet. " Sorry maam" said Veer. " Woh di" said Nikki. " Nikki! tu bhi?" said Geet.
" Jaldi se yeh sab saaf karo... and I shouldn't see it again! Dr. Maan will definitely not approve of it! I won't be able to protect you then" said Geet. The interns understood and started to clean it up. Geet was about to kneel down and help until she felt a little dizzy. Nikki looked up and saw her face, " Di please.. aap nahin.. its not good for you.. please". Geet nodded and stood up... she took a deep breath and she massaged her head. Veer looked up and frowned.." What happened to Dr. Geet?" thought Veer.
Nikki read his mind and said, " Veer... we should clean this up before Dr. Maan gets here". Veer shrugged it off and nodded. Geet did checkups for children and shestarted feeling a little more tired. Nikki stood up and she put her hand on Geet's shoulder, " Di... I'll handle it". Geet nodded and she left the room. " Geet.. kamzoor mat par..." thought Geet as she massaged her head. She went into the lockerroom and she sat down on the small bench... she took a deep breath. " No... mujhe pata hai.. kay mein kyun kamzoor par rahi hoon.. Geet.. tu aur Maan kabhi ek nahi hosakte.. kabhi nahin.. tu Maan ki waja se kamzoor par rahi hai..." thought Geet. Geet shut her eyes tightly and she had a tear rolling down her eyes. " Geet.. bhool jaa usko..." thought Geet.
She took a deep breath and she wiped her tear and she smiled, " Choti si zindagi hai.. khul kar jeena hai.. chal Geet..." Geet stood up and she went towards the other wards to do some more checkups.
The day was over and Geet went home with Nikki, she told her to drive because she was tired. " Di..apne Dr Heer se appointment karwaya hain?". " She told me that I would get an appointment from her next week..." said Geet. " You should sleep right when you get home di... you have a long day ahead of you tomorrow". Geet nodded and they continued to drive home.
