Part 1 : Down The Memory Lane
Chapter 3 : 4 Years Back...
Armaan remembered the day, when he joined Sanjeevni Hospital as an intern, the day where he made new friends, reconciled with the old one's and formed new relationships...
4 Years back...
Get Up Sleepy Head..
Get Up..
The alarm clock went on chanting the above lines, but that sleepy head, our Armaan didn't even open his eyes, he was still asleep but that didn't last for long when his father entered his room.
Father: oye! kumbhkaran, uth ja ab, dekh subah ke 7 baj rahe hain.
Armaan: oh yaar! billy dear sone do na.
Billy: ab uth bhi ja, aaj teri internship ka phela din hai, aur tujhe 8 baje hospital mein report bhi toh karna hai.
Armaan ( jerking up ): oye teri! aaj toh meri band bajne waali hai. phele nahi utha sakte the, he added looking at his father Balwinder Malik, whom he fondly calls Billy.
Billy: main toh tujhe itni der se jagaane ki koshish kar raha tha, ab isme meri kya galti ki tu sirf ghode hi nahi balki zoo ke saare jaanvar bech kar so raha hai.
Armaan: Billy...he glared!
Billy: acha, chal ab jaldi se tyaar ho ja, mujhe baad mein jee bhar ke ghoor lena.
Armaan got out of the bed, freshened up and got ready for his first day of internship. He was late by 10 minutes, in a need to hurry up he ran inside the hospital and banged into somebody, a young girl to be more precise and suddenly the world came to stop, when he saw her... for the first time.

Ridhima wake up early in the morning, as a new phase was going to start in her life. It's her first day of internship in Sanjeevni Hospital. She got freshened up and wore a white colored suit. She looked beautiful.
She reached the hospital on time, she wanted to start her work as soon as possible but just due to another intern, who was late, she had to do what she hates to do..waiting!
She glanced around and saw a man running into her direction and BANG! he bumped into her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a handsome man with mesmerizing blue eyes staring her.

Their trance was broken by Dr. Kirti, the disciplinarian in-charge.
Dr. Kirti: Dr. Armaan, you are late!
Armaan: woh..
Dr. Kirti: I don't need any of your silly justifications, waise hi hum sab ka kafi time waste ho chuka hai.
So Dr. Armaan yours duty is in child ward along with Dr. Ridhima,
Dr. Atul - AIDS ward
Dr. Anjali and Dr. Muskaan - General ward, and,
Dr. Rahul - path lab !
So, doctors you all may now leave for your duties and...agar ek doosre ko jaanana - pehchanana hai, toh woh sab break time mein kijiye ga. Don't mess up your personal and professional lives together. Now get back to work.

As instructed by Dr. Kirti, the interns went to do their assigned duties, so no time for introductions! But Armaan never left a single chance to glance at Ridhima, he saw that how easily she tackled the kids and made them have injections and their medicines.
Break time...
Armaan: uumm..Dr...?
Rdhima: Its Dr. Ridhima!
Armaan:yeah ! actually Ridhima, i am sorry for what happened in the morning, actually i was running as i was ..
Ridhima ( smiling ): late...?
Armaan ( scratching his head ): yeah,...so come join me for a coffee.
Ridhima: ok, lets go to the cafeteria.
Both them reached the cafeteria and saw their fellow interns already enjoying their break. The needed introductions were made, Armaan and Rahul studied in the same school and even college so they knew each other. Muskaan was Ridhima's childhood friend, Anjali, Ridhima's sister and Atul, a great plant lover. Armaan nicknamed him " Champ ". Just after few minutes, they all were talking as they shared a long term friendship.
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
It was a day full of work, tiredness but most prominently a new kind of happiness within oneself, the happiness which one feels when they serve others! The whole day went like this, it was the time of good byes, as it was their first day, so no night shifts!
Armaan sighed as he felt new kind of emotion in his heart, Ridhima's face, her smile kept on flashing across his mind, he never felt like this before. He wasn't at peace. He felt as if butterflies were dancing inside him, wait..what..? butterflies..? how come they are dancing inside him? By this Armaan slept with the question about this new feeling in his mind.
On the other hand Anjali and Ridhima were talking about the day!
Anjali: waise ridz, though the day was tiring but it was fun, isn't it?
Ridhima: yeah di, i enjoyed my duty to the fullest, the children were just amazing.
Anjali: sirf bachon par hi dhyaan diya, ya kisi aur par bhi...? Anjali asked mischievously.
Ridhima: what..?
Anjali: i was talking about Armaan, don't you think he is cool, handsome and dashing?
Ridhima: di..(she glared), he is good, i mean hum log abhi-abhi toh mile hain!
Anjali : ahan...
Ridhima: di, chalo na, lets sleep.
Anjali: yeah, i don't want to be punished by Dr. Kirti, she is too strict.
Ridhima: i know.
And sleep took over them and by this the writer rests too.
