Part 4

Rahul came in ...rahul looked at them and said " omg ! aren't they the same band whose posters and albums you keep collecting haan nandu !"

"Ya !" I shrugged

Now I lost ...no hope left ...

I realized everyone was looking at me ...

They were sitting on the couch ...and manik still sitting on the chair opposite me ...I slowly looked around

I could see everyone gasp ...

I quickly got up mumbling to the nurse that I needed to wash my hands and hurried my way into the washroom

I went in ...held the basin edge ...tears trickled down my cheeks ..

Finally he was here in front of me ...but then it struck me ...

What if he had moved on ...found someone ...

While I had always waited ...

What if ...

Suddenly my pager beeped again ..

I wiped my tears ...put the mask again ...and went out

I dint have the courage to remove it ...n show who I was ...

They had just wondered whether I was Nandini murthy ...but they dint know I actually was her ..

They all were sitting on the couch ...talking ...and making calls to leave in a few minutes as the manager was clearing the way for them

Suddenly dean sir walked in

Soo ...manik ...u n your band have got dressings right ?.did u hav any problems?...i hope my hospital was comfortable for you guys ...after the sudden stampede at concert ...

Manik smiled to him " yaa...it was ..."

Everyone gave him their warm smiles ...

Manik knew sir maybe ...he dint smile to everyone ...

Nandini ! it's been years ..he might have changed ...I told myself ..

Dean sir : ohh ...btw guys ...i forgot to introduce you ...this is dr Rahul ...rahul Aggarwal ...and this pretty girl

(pulling me near him )..my favorite student and definitely next leading surgeon in making

dr Nandini murthy

Everyone looked at me ...

I jst looked down ...not being able to face them now ...knowing they knew who I was ...

Saying that dean sir along with Rahul walked out ...i realized I looked dumb wearing that mask still ...I slowly took off the mask ...only to suddenly hear all of them shout :nandini

I jst smiled at them ...trying to make sure I dint look at him

I could see his eyes fixed on me

Before I could do anything cabir came and hugged me ...I hugged him back

Cabir : god ...after soo many years ...we meet that too like this ...

I smiled ...

Cabir: sooo doctor haan ! nice...

Mukti and alya were looking at me ...i jst passed them a warm smile ...

Dhruv came near me ...offering his hand... ..i handshaked ...while he spoke

Dhruv: tum itne saal yahin thi !!..comeon yaar I thought we were friends forever

I said: off course dhruv ...jst mbbs was hectic and now that guys hav made it soo bigg...sooo..but nice to see you

I had this sudden rush of blood ...I dint knw what to say ...or maybe what not to say

...i wanted to go near him ...ask him ...if he still remembered me ...whether he still thought of me ...or whether he missed me ...like I did every second till now ...

Manik was standing like a statue ...gazing at me ...while I was fiddling with my hands

...as I watched cabir mukti and alya smile to me and move out

Cabir :nandini ..byee ...it was nice to see u ...may be we could catch up sometime

I nodded ..giving him and dhruv my number ...

But my eyes were still fixed on him ...as he was standing near the couch ...i wondered whether he dint want to follow and move out ...

When suddenly I heard the door close ...I was standing near the door ...while he was still there

We both were in the same room alone

I could feel him ...those memories of all the times gushing down like the Niagara falls ...heavy and fast ...

He slowly came near ...

The butterflies in my stomach fluttered...it was happening ...

He slowly came near me and stopped just some inches away ...looking at me

I was still looking into his dark brown orbs ...when I felt his hand suddenly touch my face

I closed my eyes in exasperation ...i was feeling his skin over mine ...the time ...

the emotions ...the feelings everything was coming back where we left it ...left it open ...

He suddenly said my name ...the sound of it ...something I waited for years ...it was like a drop of water to someone dying thirsty

I opened my eyes hearing my name ...i could feel his breath washing over my face ... we were standing so close , but I dint want to move away

Suddenly he said : how are you ?

I dint know what to answer ...the number of times I had thought about meeting him was less than the number of times I had realized that I had nothing to say to him if we ever met

, ironically I wanted to tell him soo much ...so much that our if we spent our entire life together still I would have things to tell him left untold

I just mumbled " I m fine ..." while still somehow trying to absorb his touches on my face which were filling dreams to my bottomless wishes

He looked at me again ...as if memorizing each inch of my face

" I really cant believe that you are a doctor now ...its..."

Maybe he couldn't get more words out ..soo he stopped ...

Our eye lock suddenly got disturbed by the beeping of my pager ...

"Manik ..i need to go " I said looking at my pager ...I started moving away ...

although my heart wished that this moment should last a lifetime ...

I suddenly felt myself pulled as I walked away ...and there again I was standing close to him ...my hands on his shoulders for support

He spoke so softly this time " can u say my name again !..." the look in his eyes when he said that I could just drown in them

...get lost in them ..maybe even die but not come out of them ...never

"Manik!...i think there's an emergency " I said ...

He slowly moved a little far ...letting me stand properly and letting me go ...the way he did years back ...

I walked away ...I looked back to see ..he was still looking at me

I had tears trickling down my cheeks ...I slowly paced away to the OT thinking about how much I had wanted this day to come

and now that it was here ...I wasted it ...I could have argued ...talked ...maybe even fought

but between both of us stood a wall

A wall of these years

A wall of reality

A wall that we had half built with our egos and guilt and the other half that time had built

I headed to the OT ...for the surgery ...

Jst 5 minutes to the surgery...When I was standing near the patient taking the readings ..ithrough the door window ...

He was there ...looking at me

I instantaneously smiled ...he smiled back and left a minute later

All my brain could think of at the moment was " I hope its not our last meeting "...

then I had to actually fix someones brain now ..Which was important ...more than my nonexistent love life I realized and concentrated on the patient lying near me..

well ..here it is guys ...this one was long ...i hope i dint bore u guys

and thanks to all the people who appreciated the story ..thats really encouraging 🤗

what an amazing update...its just beautiful...wow u penned the emotions so perfectly and beautifully...pls continue soon...take care😊

Omg.. This ws freakin awesome man..
