PART 50
Ahaana gets out of the dressing room changing to her casuals from the theatre robes. It was a long day for her with two major surgeries. Life of a doctor is sometimes really tough, but the best part is you don't need to wait to feel good in this job. But sometimes, you need to forfeit or push back some of your beloved things so that you can do justice to your work. Same was the case for her. She and Rithik where dating for more than 9 years and had all the maturity in the relationship. But somewhere, somehow, she couldn't give him the best of her time due t her passion in medicine. But not to mention, she is very fluky to have someone like Rithik who not even once darkened his face towards her due to this reason. But today, she feels guilty. Damn so much. Rithik is coming home after long 3 months and she couldn't even go receive him back. " I must call Rithik...I should really apologize to him for not going to airport...And I'll sign in for leave for couple of days and spend time with him...it's high time we should sit and talk something..." murmurs Ahaana to herself as she takes her bag, signs in the register and steps out. She pulls out her phone form the bag as she walks to the parking lounge to get her car. She quickly flicks through the contacts and dials Rithik.
Meanwhile Rithik sits I the couch hiding his face in the comfort of his arms. He really feels awful, especially after getting an alerting call from that sordid man. Anandlal had called up him a while ago, to tell him about the concocted tales Sid had just said Roli. He couldn't believe that they lied to sister and expects him to do the same. But at the present situation he can do nothing but feel helpless. If they said her that he went to Delhi, he has no way other than accepting it...He was a brother who never lied to his sister but today that situation too has surfaced. But one way, it's good. At least he can hide form for a week. He himself wasn't aware of how long he'll be able to keep her in dark. May be seeing her today will make him blurt out everything her, something he doesn't want. So better he makes her believe that she's out of town. He immerses in his line of thoughts again when the phone rings up. He ignores at first but the frequent rings make him grab the phone. He looks in to the display and figures out that it's Ahaana. Least interested to talk to her, he just cuts the call. There, Ahaana wonders why her call is being cut by Rithik. Is he angry with me, worries her. Impatiently she dials again as she starts the car. Rithik feels very sad..He didn't have the mind to say anything to Ahaana. He wants to put out all the things in his mind badly but he has no strength for doing it. So he again does the same, that is cuts hr calls. Ahaana dials again not ready to give up. Rithik keeps his hands on his eyes feeling so powerless. Finally having no way, h picks up the call. "What do you want Ahaana???How many times should I cut the call? If I'm cutting the call, don't you have the basic sense to understand that I'm not interested to talk to you...just give me some peace for god's sake and hang the call..I'll talk to you tomorrow..." barks Rithik not even letting Ahaana to speak up. The nest moment he cuts the call too which makes Ahaana shocked. "What happened to Rithik? He has never shouted to me like this...but why did he do this? Is he angry with me? Lord..What's happening?' she asks herself. She looks at hr watch. It's 9 PM...Should I got to see him, wonders her. No!!!Let him cool down, I ll meet him tomorrow morning, says Ahaana to herself and drives away with a lot of questions in her mind.
Sid stands in terrace and talks over the phone to hi s boss, Anandlal. "Sid...you've done things above my expectations...I'm really happy with all that...And don't worry...Your demands are gonna be accepted...I'll settle all your problems...all of them in a week time...and yes...now you've wisely manage to keep Roli sticking to you, at least till the papers are signed..After that I won't compel you, you can dump her if you want..." says Anandlal to Sid over the phone. Sid hears every single word he says and closes his eyes. "No sir...Actually, we'll think of all that later...but see sir...My demands...I want them right...You know I can't take chance..And you know how big risk I'm talking now...I'm lying to Roli...What if she comes to know that I have been cheating her joining hands with her uncle who wants property.? How wills he feel?" ask Sid to Anandlal and turns around. There he meets the shock of his life, Roli looking at him intently.
