Part 39
*Lunch time*
A man and lady entered Sanjeevani; they were talking in high pitched voices with a strong Punjabi accent. The lady was wearing a nice Punjabi suit; she was the man's wife. The man was walking swinging his hand and in the other hand he held a long gun.
Teji: What kind of hospital is this…looks like some office building…the hospital back in Patiyala is so much better than this…I don't know why Muskaan came all the way here to study…
Nurses passing by hissed at him to be quiet but he took no notice and carried on talking in his loud voice…
Sneha: Arre Teji keep your voice down…this is a hospital... - whispered
Teji: So what? This is my hospital…I mean my sister works here so its mine…
Before Sneha could tell him to keep quiet again a stern voice came from behind.
??: Kya kar rahe ho tum? Yeh hospital hain…
Teji: Toh kya? Yeh meri behen khi hospital hein mein jo chaho kar sakta hoon
Teji and Sneha turned around to see who was speaking then big smiles appeared on their faces. Sneha hugged Muskaan; she was really happy to meet her best friend after such a long time.
Muskaan: Hi Teji…
Teji: Muskaan…it's nice to see you – in his loud voice
Muskaan: Please Teji keep it down…this is a hospital…and it's not mine…I'm just an intern…
Teji: Theek hain theek hain - irritably
Muskaan led them towards the cafeteria so that she could spend sometime with them. On the way she received a big shock; Teji and Sneha broke the news of their speedy wedding to her. After several seconds of silence she started laughing hysterically then accepted with a few tears of happiness.
They walked into the cafeteria and towards the rest of the gang who were there.
Muskaan: Hi guys… - once she had got everyone's attention she carried on – This is my brother Teji and my best friend or shall I say my bhabi Sneha – smiling at her
Everyone: Hi…
Muskaan: And Teji, Sneha these are my colleagues and friends…Ridz, Armaan, Atul, Sapna and Rahul…
Rahul: - held out his hand - Hello
Teji looked at Rahul like he was from another planet.
Teji: Yahan Hello aise kar te hain? - he slapped Rahul's back which made him wince in pain
Teji sat down and put his legs up Rahul looked at Muskaan and gave her a "you're dead" look. She smiled meekly and sat down along with Sneha. They delved straight into conversation with Teji who seemed right at home, cracking jokes and making everyone laugh.
Ridz noticed how happy Armaan was which really made her happy inside. These weird feelings were taking over her mind and heart and she had no idea what it was but she made a mental note to go through these thoughts and find out what was happening to her. At the same time Muskaan noticed that Rahul looked fresher now, she had thought now with Sapna back they would be closer but things looked different to her. Sapna was back to normal and this had no effect on Rahul. Muskaan smiled silently and felt pleased with the current situation.
A while later all the interns except Muskaan had gone back to their duties. Muskaan took Teji and Sapna back to her apartment; she had the rest of the day off but was meant to report back for night duty, she decided to use this time for her family.
*Girls' Apartment*
Muskaan showed Teji and Sneha around the apartment and then they settled in the garden in the warm evening sun catching up with all the latest news from back home. Sneha and Muskaan doing all the gossiping about who's married, who's ran away, which families are having problems etc, while Teji gave his two pence worth after every sentence making the girls laugh or throw something at him.
Later on Armaan and Abhi came home and went straight for the girls' apartment. This was their usual routine, come from the hospital, eat at the girls' place, clear up then go to bed. They walked into the empty apartment, hearing voices coming from outside they both raised an eyebrow at each other then followed the voices.
They walked out onto the patio to witness the cute family scene. However, someone wasn't too happy. Abhi's smile faded instantly as he saw the man sitting there. He made a quick move and was about to go inside…
Abhi: Mar gaya… - silently as he moved backwards
Teji looked at Abhi; his smile also wiped away from his face he stood up suddenly with his gun.
Teji: You? Muskaan what is he doing here?
Muskaan: Umm Teji...umm we are friends now so just forget it!!
Teji: Forget it!! You can but I can't…
Teji stomped over to where Abhi was standing while Abhi tried to defend himself.
Abhi: Look Teji…there was a big misunderstanding at the wedding…ok let's just forget it…and mo…move on - stuttering
Teji: You dishonored my family – he grabbed onto Abhi's collar and shook him…
Stay tuned for one more part...please post your comments!
