chapter 3 part 2
Armaan
i stared blankly out of the window of my room 2 the pale moonlight.the streets were illuminated by the silvery molight.that lonely street n moonlight brought back many memories 2 my mind-those moments i spent wid riddhima.i sat down on my bed,opened the drawer n looked at her photograph.her smile,her eyes i lovd everything abt her bt i was fool nt 2 confess my love 2 her.i kept dat photo on my chest n closed my eyes bt sleeping was out of question.my mind wondered around riddhima nd the moments i spent wid her.all these thoughts dragged me back 2 the past.
PASTRiddhima
since i got an urgent call i left the bb court n rushed 2wards my home.in 15 minutes i was taking my patient 2 the operation theatre assisting my papa dr. Shashank Gupta.being a doctor was a tough job especially at the operation theatre where u need extreme calmness n observation.after the completion of surgery wen i stepped out of OT,the air outside felt so refreshing which washed away all my tension.
"gud job dr. Gupta."
papa's voice always encouraged me.it felt so gud 2 hear those words frm him.
"thank u sir"
i was so happy n satisfied wid my work.a small boy came infront of me wid a rose.
"dr. Riddhima.."
"is it 4 me?"
he nodded his head.i kneeled down infront of him,took the rose n smiled.he kissed my cheek n ran away.i laughed n was abt 2 walk off wen i saw him-again.
Armaan
it was my 1st day 2 samjeevani as an intern.i got ready n checked time.it was 8:45.i heard my phone ringing n saw my dad's number.so i ignored it as always.i had never talked 2 him since dat dreadful day.b4 leaving i opened the drawer by the side of my bed n took a photograph frm there.
"look m what u wanted me 2 b.m a doctor now.if u were here u wld av been happy na"
a tear rolled down my eye.reena-c left me al alone.c died becoz of me n i cldnt 4get her.i placed dat photograph on my purse nd wiping out my tears i left my apartment 4 'samjeevani'.
I entered the hospital welcoming the new turn of my life.the 1st thing dat held my eyes was her-riddhima.i cldnt biliv dat i met her again 2 times in a row.i had nevr guessed c wld be a doctor.c was taking deep breath n there was slight smile on her lips.
Then a boy came 2wards her wid a rose,kissed her cheek n fled away.c laughed n it was musical.it seemed so familiar 2 me.this scenbe brought back my old memories of reena.no-riddhima didnt look like her,bt dat scene,dat laughter it seemed familiar,c cld play bb like reena n c was also a doctor.it was painful 2 remember abt reena nd still more painful was 2 compare some1 else wid her.i was relieved wen an intern atul came n chatted wid me.he was funny guy n i felt gud talking 2 him.
I felt some1 tapping my shoulders.i turned back 2 c riddhima standing behind me wid a smile on her face.
"hey nice 2 c u here in sanjeevni dr. Malik."
i looked at her blankly n addressed her.
"nice 2 c u as wel dr.gupta"
"i never thought i wld meet u here"
"nor did i.wil u excuse me plz"
i excused myself.i knew dat was rude bt my mind was so disturbed dat i cldnt talk wid her much.c reminded me more n more of reena.c was sweet 2 me nd i was rude 2 her.
Riddhima
i saw armaan at hospital.he was talking wid atul n was smiling.ya he was smiling which he hadnt done wid wen he had talked wid me n played bb.i was surprised n then i recalled atul n his talks which cld make any1 smile.i walked 2wards armaan n tapped his shoulder.he turned back n i saw his face was expressionless.i smiled bt he didnt.a moment ago he was smiling.bt while talking wid me he seemed disturbed.he just excused himself blankly n coldly.i was hurt by his behaviour n attitude 2wards me.nobody had ever behaved like dat 2 me,never.i pushed those thoughts away n joined my frens 2 attend the meeting wid papa.
so guys i started wid the past frm dis update n nw wil continue wid the past b4 returning 2 the present.
Wid love
srija.
