Part 4:
Everyone went to their respected duties.
Armaan and Riddhima:
"Hmm... maine isse kahi dekha hai, burr... yaad nahi arha ki kaha dekha..." Riddhima thought. "He's so cute, though!!"
"Dr. Armaan... aap kuch... jaane pehchne lagte hai..." Riddhima said.
Dr. Armaan looked at her (no smile š¤¢). "Yeh duty ka samai hai. Woh sab cheezai hum duty ke baad discuss karsakte hai."
"Gee, sir," Riddhima said. "Kya aakroo hai, isse to muskurane bhi nahin aate hoga, likin phir bhi, kitna CUTEE hai!!" she said in a low voice.
"Aap ne kuch kaha?" said Armaan, almost smiling.
"Nahi, sir, woh kuch nai..."

Atul and Sapna:
(Btw, Atul's style is different. His hair is like how he did it on that day⦠trying to be all cool for Anjali, it was so cute!)
"Mere sapnoun mein jo ayye, aaki muhje chehre jayyee⦠woh ab saamne toh ayyyeā¦" Atul sang⦠it seemed as though Sapna was his sapna. "Hi, I'm Atul, Atul M-."
"Atul M�" Sapna asked, laughing, the first time a boy had sung to her⦠at least she was sure he was singing to her.
"Atul M⦠Atul Mera naam haiā¦" Atul said, imaging Armaan's deadly glare, if anyone in the hospital besides Dr. Shashank found out that he was his brother.
"Acha teek hai... poora naam nahi batana hai, to maat batau, ek na ek din pata chal hi gayega." Sapna said sweetly. "I'm Sapna, Sapna Shah."
"Haan, pata hai, Woh Dr. Armaan ne kaha thaā¦"
"Oh⦠haan. To phir hum chale, kaam shuroo karte."

Malaika:
"Phew! Uss Safwan ke saath meri duty kabhi na lage to acha hoga, kaam pe dehan kum, khel kood mein zyada." She said to herself on the way to the children's ward. She was glad she was assigned to work in the children's ward, as she loved kids.
"Minnie: pnemonia, Maaria: allergies, Mohini: asthma, Araav: diabeticā¦" Malaika read from her case filesā¦
First she went to Minnie, a 7 year old girl...
"Hi Minnie, I'm Dr. Malaika! Aap kaisi ho?" She asked.
"Mein iqdaam first class, aur tum? Aaj tuhmara pehla din hai, kya? Tuhme pehli baar dekha na, is liye."
Minnie raised her eyebrows, TUM??? But then she smiled, Minnie was a sweetheart. "Mein teek hoon! Likin, aap ko kya hua, hospital aane ki zaroorat kyun pari?"
"Yeh, aap aap kya laga keh rakhi ho?? TUM kaho."
"Acha baba, acha! Ab batao, TUHME kya hua?"
"Pata nahi. Aise hi hospital mein chod diya hai mummi papa ne. Fazool mein, aapna paise waste karne ke liye. Woh kya hai na, mein mummi papa ko har waqt satati hoon na, khaaas (cough) khaas kar⦠toh unhone muhje yah bhej diya, taake tum log muhje sambhale!"
Malaika laughed. "Aisi koi baat nahi hai. Tuhme pnemonia hai."
"ne-mo-nia? Yeh kya hota hai??" Minnie scrunched her face.
"Tuhmari lungs mein pani hai. Agar zyada pani bhar jayega, toh lungs kaam karna band kardenge, phir tum saas nahi le payengi, aur phir heart fail hojayga."
"Hailah!! Main mar jaungi? Nai, nai, mein itni jaldi kahi nai jane wali."
"Nahi! Agar tum apna khayal rakhogi, to teek hojaugi." Malaika looked through Minnie's file. Her pnemonia was getting worse by day. She was scheduled for a surgery in two days. "Hmm⦠tuhmri surgery do din mein hone wali hai. Jab tak, tum candy nahi khaugi, chochlates bhi nahi khasakti, aur thanda pani to bilkul nahi."
Minnie was about to protest, but Malaika raised her finger to her lips, "Shhhh. Teek hona hai?"
"Haa."
"Ache bache bardo ki baat suntai hai." Minnie nodded her head. "Ok, bye, mein tumse baad mein milti hoon." And she leftā¦
On her way out, she bumped into Safwan, "Tum yaha kya kare ho? Tuhme AIDs Ward mein hona chahye!" she said angrilly.
"Ghar mein kisise lardkar aye ho kya? Kisi aur ka ghussa muhj par maat utharo, jis se gussa huwee (sry, I don't know how to spell properly in hindi, correct my mistakes plz!!) uspe apna attitude jahro!" Safwan said. Malaika just ignored him and left. The more you get irritated, the more they bother you.
"Muahahahaha!!!" Safwan passed by the Children's ward to go to the reception desk to call his mother.
"Hello!" yelled his mother on the other line, she's a loud woman, guys! The nurse at the reception desk looked at Safwan. "Maa, zara dheere baat karyeā¦"
"KYUN, TUHJE SHARAM AATI HAI??" She said even more loudly.
Nai, Ma, likin sab ko aapki awaz sunai deri hai." He said, grinding his teeth.
"Ohhh! Acha teek hai. Aab?" she whispered.
"Maa! Mein serious hoon!"
"Zindagi mein pehli baar tu serious huwa hai, bolo, kya hai?" She said in a normal tone.
"Aaj meri night duty hai,subah ghar aunga, tata, khudahafiz, aapna khayal rakhna!" he said quickly and shut the phone. His mom would surely make a big deal out of it, if he told her why he had gotten night duty.He went back to his rectal examinations whistlingā¦

Riddhima was with Armaan in the Pulmonology Ward⦠(Pulmonology is the study of the lungs and the respitory track, I'm doing research on this stuff.)
"Dr. Riddhima, aap Javed Baatliwala ka case handle karoge. Javed ko TB (tuberculosis) hai. Apke unka temperature aur weight monitor karna padega."
Riddhima looked at Javed. He was only 25, but his illness made him look like a 50 year old. He looked to weak and frail, all he did was stare at the ceiling, too weak to talk. His TB was at its final stage. The doctor's had done whatever they could. Riddhima thought this was a pretty difficult case. She was studying his history and looking at this case files.
Armaan went behind herā¦
"Aap ne muhje apne ghar mein dekha hai⦠Dinner, yaad aya?" He whispered in her ear. Riddhima twitched. She shivered. Armaan noticed this, smiled to himself, and leftā¦

Duty OVER, everyone was in the locker room⦠They were all quiet, Safwan started laughing, for no reason, seeing him laughing, Atul got into fits, then Sapna, then Riddhima⦠Malaika was wondering why they were all laughing, she smiled. They introduced themselves to each other as they didn't know each other yet.
"Ok, muhje ghar jana hoga" said Sapna. She was about to leaveā¦
"Ruko, main tuhme chordeta hoon." Atul said. Then he thought about it⦠"Jaane do, mere paas ghadri nai hai. Ok Bye." Sapna and Atul left together. Atul would have to take a taxi home because his brother wouldn't be coming home until later.
Now it was only Malaika, Riddhima, and Safwan in the locker room.
"What a long tiring day!! Ab mein bhi ghar jara hoon, varna meri Mummi mera khoon peejaigi." Safwan said.
"Tuhmari night duty hai." Malaika said, as-a-matter-of-factly.
"Uh-oh! Bye guys!" Riddhima knew what was coming along, so she left.
"You shut up, teacher's pet, miss know-it all."
"YOU shut up, cheater kahi kai!" Both left the locker room in opposite directions.
Hope you guys like this part! š
