CHAPTER 22: The Party Continues
Riddhima was the current fortunate (?) person to be dancing with Vicky from the Path. lab. The 'dance' was more an exercise in trying to keep her feet out of harm's (Vicky's giant feet) way and so far she had managed to do that decently well. She glanced across the room for a second, wondering if Papa was there as well. Sapna had told her that she'd invited him as well, but so far there was no sign of him. She was still searching for him distractedly when Vicky chose the moment to step on her feet again.
"Ouch!"
"S..sโฆsorry, Riddhima."
"Uhhhโฆit's alright, Vicky," she managed a weak smile and then she happened to glance over his shoulder and noticed Anjali Di, who gave her a sympathetic smile with a nod towards Vicky and Riddhima grinned back. Di seems to be in a good mood today, she thought to herself.
The music changed and with a sigh of relief, she twirled away from Vicky on to the next partner.
A strong pair of arms gripped her around her waist, drawing her close and her startled gaze flew up to meet a pair of familiar twinkling eyes.
"Well hello there, Basket!" Armaan winked at her. "Looks like I finally got lucky tonight."
"You!!!" she attempted to draw away instantly, but his grip remained firm, refusing to let her budge. "Let.go.of.me.this.instant!" she hissed, her eyes glaring daggers at him.
"Come on now, Basket. Do you really want to create a scene here? At your own surprise party?"
"Who the hell do you think you are???" she replied back, "I can't believe you would dare to even talk to me after all that you did! And YOU'RE the one trying to create a scene! Let go of me! I don't want to dance or talk with you!"
Armaan grinned, enjoying her little fit of righteous anger, "Awwโฆ.but I was so looking forward to a chance to get to dance with you, Basket! Don't be so heartless now" he said, shaking his head at her in mock reproach.
"YouโฆYouโฆ.," she sputtered trying to push away from him again but unable to do so.
"You know Basketโฆyou really need to develop a sense of humor. It was just a joke! And all for a good cause this time too! Did I not bring you to your party here??"
Riddhima gave him a disgusted look, "Everything is a joke to you! You made a joke out of friendship as well!"
Armaan loosened his grip on her waist and dropped his arms, but she didn't notice and continued, "And then you have the nerve to act all smug about it on top of that! Anyways, I DON'T want to listen to anything you have to say! So I'm saying this for the last time nowโฆ.Let.Go.Of.Me!!!"
Armaan sighed and then chuckled, "I uhhโฆalready did, sweetheart," he replied, raising his hands to show her.
Riddhima started and then realized her hands were still on his shoulders. Quickly dropping them, she shot him him a final irritated look and then walked off the dance floor, needing a break.
***************************************************************
As she headed towards the bar to get a drink of water, Riddhima happened to glance towards the entrance and in that moment, Dr. Shashank walked in, accompanying Dr.Keerti and Dr.Shubhankar.
"Papa!" she exclaimed and hurried over to him.
Sapna and Armaan who had been dancing together at that point turned when they heard that and then gaped as they watched Riddhima hurry over to Dr. Shashank to give him a hug.
"Papa?!" they turned to look at each other in shock.
"Wowโฆ" said Armaan after a moment, still a little dazed by this startling piece of information, "Soโฆthat meansโฆAngie..?" he murmured to himself, craning his neck, trying to find her in the crowd, but not being able to find her.
"It'sโฆuhhโฆit's time to cut the cake nowโฆ.guess I better go greet him," said Sapna as she slipped away to walk towards the senior doctors and the dean who were now all chatting animatedly with Riddhima.
"UmmโฆGood evening, Dr. Shashank, Dr.Keerti, Dr. Shubhankar," she greeted them.
"Good evening, Dr. Sapna," they replied one by one.
"Excellent arrangements with the party, Dr. Sapna. I just found out from Dr.Keerti as she was leaving today and so I decided to gate crash as wellโฆ.I hope you don't mind," said Shashank in a teasing tone.
"Oh no, Sirโฆ.I'mโฆ.I'mโฆI'm sorryโฆI didn't knowโฆ.," Sapna stammered.
Shashank chuckled, "It's alright, Dr.Sapna! I'm just pulling your leg. Thank you so much for this wonderful surprise for Riddhima," he said, smiling down at Riddhima beside him.
"Oh it's nothing, Sir," replied Sapna with a shy smile, "Ummโฆ.it's time to cut the cake now, Riddhima."
And so they all headed towards the center of the room where the cake had been arranged on a table. Soon all the guests at the party gathered around the table as well. Atul, who was standing next to Armaan glanced around the room trying to find Anjali, but there was no sign of her. Sapna motioned for Riddhima to go ahead and cut the cake. Riddhima lifted the knife and was about to cut into the cake when she suddenly glanced up.
"Where's Di?" she asked in confusion, looking around. Shashank glanced down at her in surprise, realizing in the same moment that he hadn't seen Anjali since he had walked in, briefly wondering if she had come at all.
"There you are!" said Riddhima suddenly noticing her walking over from the back of the room.
Anjali had gone to the washroom and had just returned when she saw the big huddle of people in the center of the room. As she walked over, Ridzie noticed her and called out to her, causing many heads to turn in her direction. And that's when she saw Dad. She paused suddenly in surprise. Then she wondered why she was surprisedโฆshe should have known that he would never have missed a congratulatory party for Ridzie.
"Diiiiiiโฆ.come on!!" Ridzie's voice pulled her from her thoughts and she finally walked over to the table to stand next to them.
Riddhima lifted the knife once again and finally cut the cake as everyone around her burst into applause. Cutting out the first piece, she turned to Shashank to give him the first bite, but he took the piece and gave her a bite instead. She hugged him again and then turned to Anjali, holding up the piece of cake for her to eat. Anjali glanced up at Shashank for just a split second and found that he was staring at her directly, a thoughtful look on his face. She quickly glanced back at Ridzie and breaking off a piece of the cake, fed it to her. Ridzie then fed her a bite too and hugged her affectionately. Anjali patted her back softly, feeling awkward and then she happened to glance up and notice Atul smiling at her. He raised his eyebrows at her and then slowly made a 'smile' motion in front of his face with his fingers. And she couldn't help but smile back in reply before she finally pulled away from Ridzie. Riddhima then turned towards the rest of her friends and Anjali started to walk away when she bumped into someone.
"Excuse me," she said as she brushed past the person without looking up.
Shashank watched her walk away for a moment and then sighing to himself, walked after her.
"A glass of water, please," said Anjali as she reached the bar.
"One for me as well," said Shashank as he came and stood next to her.
Anjali glanced up at him in surprise for a moment and then smoothing out the expression on her face, replied in a cool tone, "Hi, Dad."
"Hi, Anjali," he replied with a soft smile.
The bartender set their glasses of water in front of them and Anjali picked up hers and turned to leave but stopped when she heard Shashank clear his throat. She turned her head back to glance at him.
"I'mโฆ.glad that you came today..." he said softly, turning to look at her directly as well, "Iโฆhad thoughtโฆ"
"โฆ.that I wouldn't come," she finished his statement in that same even cool tone. She paused, still staring at him, giving him the feeling as if she was searching for something in his eyes but couldn't find it.
"Guess I disappointed you again, right Dad?" she finally replied.
Shashank sighed heavily, "Anjali, betaโฆit's notโฆ"
"Ridzie's calling for you, Dad," she interrupted him, motioning with her chin towards Riddhima.
Shashank turned and saw that Riddhima was motioning for him to come over.
"You should go," said Anjali glancing back at him with an ironic smile that he was unable to read. And with that she walked away with her drink of water in her hand.
Shashank closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling utterly helpless and unable to understand what to do. With a sigh, he finally opened his eyes and then headed over to Riddhima.
******************************************************************
Shubhankar and Keeti sat with their plates of food on one of the couches in the living room.
"Good food," commented Shubhankar as he dug into into the food on his plate with a relish, "Did you get the butter chicken?" he asked Keerti, "It's really good!"
Keerti smiled at him in amusement, "No I didn't, but I'm not surprised that you did. Bet you would eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner if you could, right?" she teased him.
He chuckled, "Kaash! Now if only I didn't know precisely what that would do to my arteries,"
Keerti chuckled in reply as well, then glanced around and said, "Good party. Dr.Sapna's done a good job putting it together,"
"Yes, she has," agreed Shubhankar. Then with a sigh, added, "And I wish I could turn back time and be an intern againโฆ.those were the days, nahin?"
"They sure were," replied Keerti with a grin, "Although I can't say I miss the insane schedules and Dutta the Hitler,"
"Oh riiight!" said Shubhankar in sudden realization, "How can I forget Dutta! Sach mein kitna torture karta tha hum sabko, haina? Heard he got transferred to Sanjeevani, Delhi.All my heartfelt sympathies with the crew there," he chuckled.
"Shubhankarrr," she chided him softly and then started laughing herself. "But he really was a terror. I've never been as intimidated by anyone in my life."
Shubhankar glanced at her mischivieously, "And now your interns seem to be just as intimidated by you, don't they?"
"Oh come on! I'm definitely not like Dutta, am I??" she asked reproachfully.
Shubhankar laughed, "I was just kidding, Keerti!"
His pager went off suddenly and setting his plate down, he reached for it. Flipping it open, he read the message, his expression turning grim.
"What is it?" asked Keeti.
"Emergency," replied Shubhank, getting up and grabbing his jacket, "Mili Mehraโฆshe's had a seizure again,"
"I'll come with you," said Keerti, putting down her plate as well and then noticed Atul talking to Armaan a few feet away, "Dr.Atul's assisting you, right? I'll go inform him as well," she said.
****************************************************************
"Wow, can you believe it?? Basket and Angie are Dr.Shashank's daughters??!" Armaan was saying to Atul, "I would never have guessed it! AlthoughโฆI guess I can see some resemblance between him and Angie now,"he said thoughtfully, "But I can't believe Angie didn't even tell me!! Why would she hide this?? Even from me??"
"UmmโฆI don't know yaarโฆmaybe sheโฆ"
Dr. Keerti interrupted Atul in that moment, "Excuse me, Dr.Atul, could I have a quick word with you?" she motioned for him to come over to the side.
Atul glanced at Armaan in puzzlement and then moved to the side to talk to her, "Yes, Ma'am?"
"It's an emergency, Dr.Atul. One of your patients, Mili Mehraโฆshe's had a seizureโฆ"
Atul felt the blood drain away from his face as he stared at her in shock, "Mili?!"
"We need to leave right now, Dr.Shubhankar's waiting outside."
Atul didn't reply, still in shock and staring at her in a dazed manner.
"Dr.Atul!" said Keerti sharply, "We need to leave for Sanjeevani right now! Pull yourself together!"
Atul snapped out of his dazed state at her sharp tone, "Yes Ma'am."
"Let's go then," she said and turned and headed out, with Atul following her out.
Armaan had watched the entire scene and wondered what was going on. The only thing he'd managed to catch from the conversation was the name "Mili"
Anjali had been walking over to Sapna when she noticed Atul leaving with Dr. Keerti. Confused, she walked over to Armaan instead.
"What happened?" she asked him, "Where is Atul going with Dr.Keerti?"
"Don't know yaar," replied Armaan, turning towards her, "She just came over suddenly and said she wanted to have a word with him. I think something might have come up at the hospital with one of his patients. I heard him say 'Mili' in between."
"Mili??!" she repeated in shock, quickly glancing over to the door, but Atul had left by then.
"Oh my godโฆ" she closed her eyes in dismay.
