"Armaan Mallik Head of Sanjeevani " Armaan spoke in a proud yet confident voice while the gang stood infront of him in his cabin trying to suppress their life.. He frowned noticing none of them were showing great attention to his instructions.. "Do as i say before i suspend all of you ! "
"Anjali sharma Senior Doctor of Sanjeevani "
" Atul Sharma Senior Doctor of Sanjeevani "
" Rahul Mallik Junior Docor of Sanjeevani "
" Muskaan Chadda Junior Doctor of Sanjeevani "
" Shilpa Mallik... "
" The wife of the head of the Sanjeevani " The gang said out in a chorus grinning to each other.. Shilpa started to laugh while Armaan sent a dead glare to each of them.
"So what am i supposed to say ? Armaan Mallik the Huband ? "
Shilpa gaped while Rahul grinned mischievously.. " Not a bad idea bro..
"You guys really think this is funny ?? The trustees are coming today and i want each and every one among you to give perfect answers to them like a responsible doctor. Do you Understand me.. " He spoke in a warning torn specially keeping a eye on Rahul. Rahul rolled his eyes while others nodded in agreement.. " Yes Sir.. "
"And one more important thing. Atul and Anjali it would be your responsibility to inspect the behavior of the Junior doctors here.. Trustees shouldnt get even a single reason to point out a fault in us. " Atul gave a nod while Anjali smiled.. Muskaan yawned in boredom glancing down in her watch.. "From a hour he is lecturing us how to behave infront of trustees. If i stand here for even a minute longer i am going to faint infront of them.. "
" Dont worry sweetheart i am here to hold you if you fall.. " Rahul gave a nudge to her shoulder with a wink.. Armaan noticed the interaction and cleared his throat.. "And very much important thing to Remember.. NO Public Romancing in the hospital.."
" Bro you look like you are reminding yourself more than us.. " Rahul joked as the gang broke into fits of laughter. Shilpa glanced away flushed while Armaan glared at them embarrassed..
" Enough ! Now everyone get back into your duties.. Remember to be present in the meeting after an hour.. " He spoke authoritatively as Everyone nodded and exited from his cabin. He sighed and turned around to see Shilpa who kept leaning to the table with a teasing smile on her lips.. He groaned as unwillingly his eyes ran on the Green Sari which she wore clinging to her every curve gracefully..
She came forward and placed her hand on his chest as he sighed heavily.. "Now i am regretting telling you to wear Sari.. You are torturing me.. "
Shilpa giggled and traced his collar bone as he groaned inwardly.. " Not my fault Mr.Mallik.. But i will try to be a good junior doctor working under you.. "
Eventhough she had spoken with innocence filled in her eyes he could sense the humor in her voice.. He narrowed his eyes as the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.. "If i know you very well Mrs.Mallik you are going to torture me like anything.. I shall pity myself.. "
The playful smile faded off as she grew more concerned.. "Armaan you need to stop worrying now. Everything is going to be fine trust me.. "
He leaned down to her burying his face in her hair closing his eyes.. "We shall do this together.. Now come on give me a Good luck kiss.. "
Shilpa ducked away her head with a raised eyebrow as he grew more irritated.. "You seriously need to stop doing that to me.. "
"I am very concerned about our reputation Dr.Mallik. We should start doing our duty now.. " Shilpa faked a innocent look and started to smile as he moved away with a foul mood muttering angrily under his breath.. " Reputation my foot.. Damn the trustees "
"What Man i cant believe this not even one lady is here among the trustees.. " Rahul muttered under his breath staring at the trustees who were seated infront of them..
"Good for us that it is just two old man.. " Atul whispered back to him quietly..
Armaan set with them in the table keeping an eye on Shilpa , and she could easily sense the nervousness rising in him..
" So interns.. Why dont you give a introduction for us.. " Mr.Dilip spoke with a encouraging smile while Mr.Verma narrowed his eyes at them. Soon several other new interns started to introduce themselves while the gang exchanged looks..
"Dr.Anjali Sharma Senior Doctor of Sanjeevani.. "
"Dr.Atul Sharma Senior Doctor of Sanjeevani.. "
"Dr.Rahul Mallik Junior Doctor of Sanjeevani "
"Dr.Muskaan chadda Junior Doctor of Sanjeevani "
"Dr. Shilpa Mallik Junior Doctor of Sanjeevani " Shilpa spoke proudly while Armaan took a breath of relief as it got over.. The two trustees exchanged surprised looks and glanced at Armaan as he straitened up.. " Dr.Armaan Mallik the husband.. " He blurted out in hurry and bit his tongue as he realized what he had said actually..
" I mean to say Head of Sanjeevani.. " Armaan mumbled quickly glaring at Rahul and the gang tried to supreme their laugh.. Mr.Verma glanced a look at Shilpa and then turned to Armaan with a smirk.. " Well Dr.Armaan whats the need of you to introduce yourself to us. We very well know you are the head of Sanjeevani.. "
"But looks like you need to memorize well whats you position here.. " Mr.Dilip replied sarcastically as Armaan gave a stiff nod getting flushed.. Shilpa sensed the tension as the two trustees eyed her in between which made her nervous.. All of a sudden they dismissed everyone.. " All of you may leave now for your duties. Ahh Dr.Shilpa Mallik can you please stay. Would like to have a word with you.. " Mr.Verma spoke in his fake sugary tone as the gang exchanged looks with her.. Anjali blinked her eyes reassuringly. Giving a nod Shilpa turned around to them as Mr.Dilip gestured to her to take a seat.. Hesitantly she set infront of them and exchanged a glance with Armaan who kept staring at her worriedly..
"So Dr.Shilpa.. I know this is little out of profession question but are you married to Mr.Mallik.. "
Armaan shifted uncomfortably as Shilpa responded instantly.. " Yes sir i am.. "
They both gave a nod smiling.. " Out of curiosity you see.. Now I am in dilemma should we be referring you as Mrs.Mallik or Dr.Shilpa ? "
Armaan tried to interfere as Shilpa spoke.. " Dr.Shilpa would do sir. As my husband does i also like to keep personal side away from my profession.. "
Armaan smiled impressed with her answer as Mr.Verma narrowed his eyes and then stood up giving a nod.. " Very well Dr.Shilpa.. Anyways you shall go back to your duty. Mr.Mallik why dont you give us a tour around the hospital.. ? "
Shilpa grunted as she kept walking nonstop from two hours.. From two hours she had been sent to do duties in general ward. She missed walking near Armaan but also she understood he had to deal with the trustees at the moment.. Glancing down at the watch she pulled off her coat and hurried out to the corridor lost in her thoughts.. Usually she had seen Armaan always confident infront of his clients. But since the trustees have come the worry and nervousness in his eyes didint go unnoticed by her.. What was bothering him so much. Why did she feel there was something else he was hiding. All of a sudden she felt a tight grasp on her hand as he pulled her inside the store room locking it behind them.. Before she could speak he pinned her to the door and started to kiss her senselessly.. Shilpa moaned as automatically she responded back to him snaking her hand on his hair gripping them tight.. After sharing the passionate kiss for minutes he broke off breathing hard as she did them same staring at him in daze.. "Armaan.. "
"Damn this trustees are driving me crazy.. " He muttered in a rough voice but as he glanced at her his expressions softened once again..
Seeing the tension in his face Shilpa decided to divert his mind in something else..Shifting closer to him she gave a warm smile.. "Armaan i am so thankful to you for helping out Vini by sending her abroad.. "
He returned back her smile nodding.. "She was a gorgeous kid.. And had a warm heart.. She deserves to live in this world more.. "
Shilpa nodded in agreement as silence stretched between them for sometime.. She liked sharing peaceful moments with him like this.. If only they could keep doing it forever.. "She was a great kid. I would love to have a girl like her.. "
Armaan glanced at her surprised for a minute and then nodded silently.. Shilpa smiled and cupped his face looking directly in his eyes.. " I mean it Armaan.. I would love to have a baby with you.. Our own baby.. "
His eyes gleamed in happiness as he hugged her tightly keeping her in his embrace for a long time.. Shilpa closed her eyes feeling blissful only when Armaan pulled back with a sobered expression.. She frowned as he spoke hesitantly.. " There is something i have kept from you. But its time for you to know "
