Part 19
A few days later and the interns were deeply involved in their work along with some messing around and getting to know each other better. It was their third day in Sanjeevani; all nine interns were standing silently by the nurse station waiting to hear their duties for the day.
Keerti: Good Morning interns…good to see that you are all here on time – looking mainly at Atul – please make this a habit…now duties… - looks down at her clipboard – Dr. Rahul and Dr. Sapna ICU with patient Rajat, he will be moved into special ward today
Rahul & Sapna: Yes maam
Keerti: Dr. Anjali, Dr. Abhimanu and Dr. Nikkita you will work with Dr. Sharma in Path Lab, Dr. Armaan and Dr. Riddhima General Ward and finally Dr. Atul Aids Ward with Dr. Muskaan…you will all report back to me before lunch…now get to work…
Anjali, Abhi and Nikki were the first to leave the group, very keen and ready to work as they walked quickly towards the path lab. Rahul and Sapna also went off to visit Rajat, Armaan walked away completely ignoring the fact that he was meant to be working as a pair with Ridz. She stood there confused for a moment until Atul put a hand on her shoulder.
Atul: Wassup?
Ridz: Huh…oh…umm nothing… - looking from Armaan's back to Atul
Atul: Are you sure? You look…
Ridz: No…I'm ok… - cutting him off
Atul: Don't worry…I know what you're thinking…I don't understand how Dr. Keerti can even think that we can work with people like that – pointing to Armaan and Muskaan who were walking down the corridor away from them
Ridz: It's not that…I don't mind work…
Atul: - cuts her off – I understand…you don't need to say anything…I can't stand it either…
Keerti: Doctors! Agar aap dono ko koi problem hain meri decision se to please bata dijiye...main aap dono ko special jobs dungi...
Atul: Huh?
Keerti: Dr. Atul! I think instead of being in this hospital you need to join some hindi classes! Now Get To Work! I Do Not Want To Repeat Myself Again!
Ridz: Sorry Doctor Keerti
Atul: Sorry maam
Keerti: I said get to work!
They both rush off down the corridor. When they were sure that Dr. Keerti was out of sight and was not around to hear them Atul started to complain once again. They were standing outside of the General Ward talking to each other, Atul in no rush to work.
Atul: Hindi Hindi Hindi...Aaarrrghh! She's such a...
Ridz: C'mon what does she think we are...are we living in 1800's...we're youth in modern times...if we don't speak English what are we going to speak Japanese? - fuming - Hindi Stinks!
Armaan who was standing by the nurse's desk in General Ward listening to the conversation taking place just outside slammed down the file he was holding onto the desk pushing over the pen holder and messing up the table. The last sentence echoing through him...
Ridz: Hindi stinks!
Before their conversation could move on any further they were disrupted by a Senior Doctor who had asked them to get to work. Atul walks away and Ridz enters the General Ward, on seeing Armaan at the front desk she walks up to him.
Ridz: Armaan...can I...
He walks away completely blanking her and carries on walking until he reaches the locker room. He enters, stomps his feet all the way to his locker and slams his fists against it. He leans against it sliding down very slowly until he reaches the floor. Pulling his knees up to his chin and putting his hands up to his head, his mind starts to wonder...
Flashback
They settle down on the grass.
Riddhima: Danyavad Armaan.
Sohan: Huh?
Armaan: hits him on the leg – she means thank you dumbo
Sohan: Oh… - smiling a bit
Armaan: Koi baat nahi
Riddhima: Armaan?
Armaan: Haan Riddhima?
Riddhima: Kya tum mujhe English sikhaoge (teach)?
Armaan: Of course…I mean…haan…ek shart par
Riddhima: Shart?
Armaan: I promise main tumhe English sikhaoge (teach) if you promise to…
Riddhima: Huh?...Promise?
Armaan: Sorry…main wada karta hoon ke main tumhe English sikhaogi agar tum wada karti ho ke tum mere dost banogi…I promise to teach you English if you promise to be my friend – holding out his hand to her
Riddhima: Wada – shaking his hand...
End Flashback
Armaan: - Tears well up in his eyes - Why? Why is this happening to me? - sobs silently - Riddhima...I miss you...
There was a noise in the corridor which made him look up. He quickly pulled himself together and almost ran into the changing room.
*Special ward*
Rahul and Sapna enter the Special Ward right behind the nurses pushing Rajat's stretcher into the room. They moved him over onto his bed making him comfortable while Sapna and Rahul waited patiently until they settled him down. The nurses left after a while and Rahul and Sapna started doing the regular check ups on their patient.
Rahul: Hey…how are you feeling?
Rajat: Not too bad except my head feels like it weighs a ton – trying to smile
Rahul: Yeh well you did do a serious injury to your head
Rajat: Hmm… - laying back and closing his eyes
Sapna: Ok right let's check your head
Sapna begins to take the bandage off of his head, slowly redoing the stitches and dressing.
Sapna: Ok…all done...just a few more days…you'll get better quickly – taping down the bandage around his head
Rahul: We'll come and check on you later…take care ok
Rajat: Sure…thanks
Rahul and Sapna walk out of the room closing the door quietly behind them as Rajat is left to rest. They walk along the corridor talking about their first case and how they had handled it when they turned the corner almost walking into a nurse pushing an empty stretcher. In shock Sapna tries to stand back so she would not be hit by the stretcher but her foot twists and she is about to fall onto the floor but Rahul seeing the situation very quickly holds her from her waist. They stare into each other's eyes for what seemed like ages completely unaware of the people walking around in the corridor.
Just then Muskaan walked out of the Aids Ward just in time to see Sapna in Rahul's arms and feels a little uneasy.
Rahul stands up straight pulling Sapna into a standing position. They both fix themselves and look around.
Rahul: Umm…are you ok?
Sapna: Yeh…umm…I'm fine…thanks
Rahul: No pro… - cut off by Muskaan
Muskaan: Hey Rahul come lets go to the cafeteria…
Sapna: Actually Muskaan…Rahul and I have to go to Dr Keerti… - grabbing his arm and dragging him in the other direction away from Muskaan
Rahul: Mus...Muskaan I'll see you in the caf… - looking back at her
Muskaan looks at the pair walking away from her and made an angry face. She turned around and walked straight into Abhi who was carrying several files.
Abhi: Hey…can't you watch where you're going?
Muskaan: Why don't you watch it? Move out of my way! – very angry
Abhi: I was here first so why don't you move
Muskaan: Because I don't want to…now move - pushes Abhi into Nikki who had just walked up to them and stomps away
Abhi: Sorry yaar! Woh Muskaan ki bachi – feeling embarrassed
Nikki: It's ok…why are you always fighting with Muskaan?
Abhi: Me? Come on Nikki you know I don't fight with anyone
Nikki: Yeah, yeah if you say so… - smiling at him
Abhi: Chal…let's go to the cafeteria
Nikki: Ok
*Cafeteria*
Abhi and Nikki walk into the cafeteria, Abhi who wanted to spend some time alone with Nikki was upset when Nikki had decided to join Muskaan who was sitting alone deep in thought.
Nikki: Hi Muskaan
Nikki nudges Abhi to say hi but he shakes his head as to say no. Muskaan doesn't answer she is still in deep thought.
Nikki: Muskaan??? – sitting down
Muskaan: Huh? Oh hi Nikki and Bandhar - looking at Abhi
Abhi: Hahaha very funny…bandhar hoga tera baap
Muskaan: Baap pe mat ja…samjhe? – shooting an evil look at him
Anjali comes in and walks over to the Muskaan, Abhi and Nikki
Anjali: Hey guys…are you two still arguing
Abhi: She's here so obviously there will be some noise! – nodding his head in Muskaan's direction
Muskaan: Don't even... - spotting Rahul and Sapna coming in she stops her sentence mid way – hey Rahul
Rahul: Hey! Hey everyone – looking around the table before sitting down
Sapna: - roles her eyes at Muskaan - Hi everyone!
Everyone: Hey
Anjali: Boy I'm hungry aren't you guys?
Nikki: Yup I'll go and get some sandwiches… - gets up and walks away to the counter
Abhi: Ok… - looking at her walk away with a smile on his face
Anjali: - silently to Abhi – So…when are you gonna tell her?
Abhi: - through gritted teeth but not angrily - Not now!
Rahul: What are you guys whispering about?
Abhi: Nothing… - quickly looking towards the door as the other interns enter
Anjali: Hi Ridzi, hey Armaan
Ridz: Hi di – sitting down next to her sister
Atul comes in after them
Atul: Hey everyone… - sitting down with a slump - Muskaan you left me with that patient why didn't you come back?
Muskaan: Umm…I forgot – to herself – I had to leave from there…I didn't want to spend another second with you
Atul: That's the problem with you people…just so forgetful! - scornfully
Rahul: Hey watch it ok…leave her alone
Atul: I wasn't talking to you! What's it to you…just mind your own business
Sapna: Chill Atul…what is wrong with you?
Atul: What's wrong with you low class people? I talk to one of them and the other one answers…don't you have your own mouths?
Abhi: Cool it Atul…we want to have lunch in peace…not be in the middle of a debating program…so please…chill
Atul: Cool…
Everyone got their lunch; they sat together but talked among their small groups. Anji, Abhi and Nikki together, Muskaan, Rahul and Sapna, Ridz and Atul and as usual Armaan sat back and looked around at the others.
After sometime Rahul and Sapna got a pager to go to Special ward and they left.
Atul: Hey Ridz both of us are working together…that's good right
Ridz: Yeh its better than working with that saru Armaan - quietly
Atul: Yeh and that forgetful Muskaan…C'mon let's go…
Ridz: Ok come on - looking at Armaan who was looking at his food not eating anything
They both stood up and walked away together. Then Muskaan and Armaan got a pager.
Muskaan: Chal Armaan
Armaan: Yeh I'm not hungry anyways… - pushing his plate away
Abhi: I'll take that – pulling the plate close to him
Armaan: - smiled slightly – Go ahead…I didn't touch it
Abhi: Thanks – putting a spoonful of rice in his mouth – See you guys later
Armaan & Muskaan: Yeah bye…
Anji: Abhi you don't stop eating…do you?
Abhi: That's right...I live to eat! – putting another spoon of rice into his mouth
Anji: Oh really?...I thought you lived for Nikki... – smirking at him
Abhi almost chokes on the bite he had just taken and quickly covers up by sipping some water.
Nikki: Huh...what do you mean Anji?
Abhi: No...nothing...umm kuch nahi ... - shooting a deadly look at Anji who smirked knowingly
Nikki: Hmm…ok…so Abhi, tell us…how was Australia? Did you like it? Did you forget about us?
Abhi: - to himself – I've only come back for you… - then out loud – it's awesome there, I just loved it, the whole atmosphere, lifestyle and the beaches! Wow…you guys have got to go there
Anji: Sounds interesting!
Abhi: It's more than interesting…you've got to be there to believe it…trust me…
Anji: I'd love to go…but anyways…I bet you was just a paraku…stuck in your books…
Abhi: Hmm…that's what you think! Books and me? Never, I lived on the beach; surfing is my life and girls… - grinning
Nikki: And you never remembered us…not once? – a little sad
Anji and Abhi quickly looked at her in shock. She had sat there silently the whole time they almost forgot she was sitting there. But after hearing Abhi's last sentence she had become sad. She thought Abhi had come back for her but it looked like he really missed Australia.
Anji: Like he had any time to think about us… - punching him on the arm – surrounded by girls and beaches…he probably didn't even dream about India
Abhi: If I didn't remember you guys then why would I come back?
Nikki: To get married… - silently but Abhi and Anji heard her
Anji: What? – in shock – You came back to get married? To who? Why didn't you tell us?
Abhi: Nikki? Tumhe kaise pata chala? – thought for a second – Hold up…that churel
Nikki: Abhi…that's not nice…she's not that bad…why did you run away like that?
Anji: Ok…wait a minute…will someone tell me what's going on? – looking from Abhi to Nikki and back
Nikki: Abhi came back to get married to Muskaan…
Anji: WHAT??? – shouted so loud disturbing other people around them
Abhi: Anji! Will you inform the whole hospital? You're soo loud!
Anji: Sorry!! – quieting down a bit – but how did this happen…You and Muskaan? Now that's definitely not match made in heaven
Anji and Nikki laughed and Abhi sat there watching the two of them make fun of him as usual. He sat back and smiled at the two of them.
Anji: What? Why are you smiling like that?
Abhi: Just…
Anji: Ok…to batao…what happened?
Abhi: Ok ok…you won't leave me alone will you… - she nods her head and smiles – fine, dad wanted to get married to his friend's daughter; Muskaan, but you know what she's like, and I didn't want to get married now so with help from my friend I got away in time. Then I went back to Shimla and found out that you two had left…so I decided to follow you guys here… - waving his hand around as he talked
Anji: You went back to Shimla? – surprised
Abhi: Yeah…and I met Puneet Uncle, he was the one that told me that you left a year after me and Nikki left to come to Mumbai for her internship…and I was so pleased that we had all stuck to our dream of becoming doctors…and we are all together again…
Nikki: Me too… - smiled at him
He looked at her, she looked so sweet, she still had her baby face and her eyes twinkled every time she smiled.
It had become very quiet around the table now with each of them in silent thought about their friendship, their past and now their present. Then Abhi perked up his courage and asked a question which shocked both girls at the same time;
Abhi: Nikki…will you go out with me?...
