What did he think of himself ? Agreed he was a senior doctor but how could he scold her like that? Didn't he understand that she was a girl and girls have soft heart?
And what was her fault? She was only 30 minutes late. Okay not 30 really, 30 minutes 25 seconds late but then again it was not her fault. Mumbai traffic was always and had always been like this.
Mr. Khadoos Juneja always needed reasons to scold his interns especially her. Oh wait there was another person whom he scolded on regular basis. Thank god she was not the only one. And she felt happy about it. Dr Khadoos Juneja also scolded her friend Preet Singh, that too on regular basis. It was as if his day didn't go good if he didn't give them their daily dose of scoldings. And from the past 2 months that they had been interns here, they always got scolding regularly.
And again today had been HIS' lucky day and she accepted she was at fault and that she was late and she deserved the scolding, but he could be little nice to his interns now, isnt it? And did that man even know that there existed something called as smile' because she had always seen him being grumpy and with a stern face. Birth defect she concluded.
So after the daily dose of scolding and a hectic morning of work she sat in the cafeteria. She was having a bad headache and then again she was feeling like crying. Reason ?? Well simply because she hadn't cried for many days and the tears made their way.
"Are you alright?" She heard a feminine voice ask her.
Looking up she saw a sweet looking lady, with concerned filled eyes looking at her. She was clad in a saree, and by the look of it, she knew she was married.
Wiping her tears she gave her a small smile and nodded. The lady took a seat next to her.
"What happened? Why were you crying?"
Should she tell her? Well she wanted to vent out her frustrations so why not tell this sweet looking lady. And she must be a patient here. She won't be meeting Dr. Juneja, so no chances of him coming to know.
"Well, thanks to that Khadoos for all this Niagara Falls.."
"Khadoos?" the lady asked.
"Yeah Dr. Khadoos Juneja" I whispered. Who knows Dr. Khadoos might as well turn here and didn't they say "Diwaron ke bhi kaan hote hai."
The lady smiled at her. May be even she had heard about the "Khadoos Juneja"
And so that gave her the encouragement and she continued telling her about the tales of certain Mr. Khadoos Juneja.
And by the time they were finished they both were laughing. The lady was really sweet. She was having a gala time and that when she heard someone calling out her name
"Meher are you early today?"
Right in front of her was her friend "Preet Singh"
"Hey hi Preet. Come join us. I'll introduce you to my new friend. We have had a great time gossiping about someone."
Preet came rushing towards me and seeing the face of the lady who was sitting with me he smiled widely.
"Hey Bhabhi what are you doing here today? I was not told that you are going to come. Are you alright? Is something wrong? Any problem?"
And before the lady infront of her could answer, the nurse came there calling out certain
"Dr. Heer"
Upon hearing the name the lady infront of her got up and smiled at the nurse telling her that she is coming.
Before the lady infront of her could move she saw the devil himself coming to the CAFETERIA.
She registered two things
Firstly Preet had referred to the lady infront of her as Bhabhi, and secondly she had seen with her very two own eyes, which were black in colour and the colour could be ignored at the moment, the 8th WONDER of the World happening right infront of her.
Dr.Khadoos was at the cafeteria' Oh lord what on earth was happening. She had to test her eyes today itself. She had started seeing illusionary things but then she found him looking at the lady infront of her and heard him say,
"How many times have I told you not to keep moving from one place to the another. And what was the need of walking till here. Are you feeling alright?"
And the lady infront of her, whom the nurse had referred as Heer smiled.
"You both brothers are so alike."
Heer turned in her direction and said,
" It was nice talking to you Meher. Would love to meet you next time so that we both can talk on our "FAVORITE TOPIC. And he is my husband Dr Prem Juneja."
Prem sir just looked in my direction and gave his usual look and then holding his wife's hand and giving her his "Million Dollar-Reserved Only For You Smile" led her out of the cafeteria.
I could just smile. All this was too much for me. I was still in a state of shock. I needed water and a chair to sit. My head was spinning. Firstly I had told the lady, who was apparently Dr.Heer all the bad things about Dr. Khadoos who happened to be her husband. How many times had my mother told me to keep my mouth shut. I wish I had listened to her. Then Dr. Khadoos had smiled. I definitely needed an eye checkup. Will go and check my eyes today itself. And next I had to actually ask Preet if Khadoos had actually smiled and then may be get a photo somehow and send it to the people who were keeping a record of the Wonders of the world.
I wish the earth could open up and swallow me, atleast for some time.
...
"Meher, Meher.." I found Preet calling out for me. Preet had referred to Heer as Bhabhi, Bhabhi is sister in law as in brother's wife, that means Preet Singh is Prem Juneja's brother!!. But wait aren't they suppose to share the same last name?
She decided to confirm first, otherwise she was all ready to get another minor heart attack.
"Preet you are Preet Singh right?"
Preet gave me some weird look as if I was speaking some foreign language and then answered
" Yeah I am Preet Singh. Are you alright Meher? You don't seem too fine. Your face is looking totally drained of colour."
"You refereed to Doctor Heer as BHABHI?"
"Yeah Meher I did. Because she is My Bhabhi." Preet answered as if making a 6 years kid understand that 1+1 is equal to two.
"And she said that Dr Khadoos I mean Dr Juneja is her husband?"
"Yeah Meher he is. Prem Bhai is Heer Bhabhis's husband, Heer Bhabhi is a doctor in this hospital but since she is pregnant and Prem bhai being the over protective husband has told her to go on maternity leave. She must have probably come to visit him. But why are you asking me all this. Are we playing 20 questions or something, and then let me tell you that this is not the right time??"
She was surely going to go home and mark this on her calendar as her doom's day. This day could not have been any worse. She had to prepare herself for the worst now. Prem Juneja had seen his wife talking with me, and by the looks he was giving it seemed that he must be definitely angry. God Save Her. Good Bye Happiness.
She found Preet shaking her.
"Meher what is wrong with you? Till the time you were talking with Heer Bhabhi you were all fine. Now suddenly what has happened?"
Oh nothing much Preet. I've seen and I am the reason for my Doom's day, she wanted to say but instead ignoring his questions she asked him again
"Preet why didn't you tell me that you are Prem Juneja's brother? And why is your surname and his surname different?"
"You never asked me Meher. And my full name is Preet Singh Juneja. I like it as Preet Singh so I use it this way. Sounds cool isnt it?"
Cool? Well nothing was cool at the moment.
"Preet this is my last day here today. I am going to be fired from here tomorrow."
"Why but?"
"Because before you came I was complaining and telling all bad things about your PREM BHAI to your HEER BHABHI. And so if she goes and tells him I'll be fired"
Preet started laughing.
"So this was your favorite topic? I see. And don't worry Heer Bhabhi wont tell a word against you. She herself has fought with him so many times. Chill."
Although Preet's words were reassuring at the moment but she still was not sure about anything. She just hoped that everything was going to be fine.
"Waise Preet, how did your sweet Bhabhi fall for your Khadoos Bhaiya? I mean she is so full of life and ever so smiling and your Bhai is such a grumpy person. Jab dekho hum pe chilate rehte hai."
"That is because he is just like that here. At home he is not like this. Its just that he wants everything to be perfect and on time. And although he gets angry very frequently, Heer Bhabhi is there to control it. So no worries."
"You know what Preet I really want to know your Heer Bhabhi's and Prem Bhai's love story. I mean why did Heer Bhabhi fall in love with such a person. Bhagwan jane unme kya dekhliya."
Preet just chuckled and started their story.
The Love story of Prem Juneja and Mrs Heer Prem Juneja nee Maan.
