Dev woke up and saw sona sleeping peacefully beside him on a chair in balcony. He remembered their last night convo and found two cups of coffee on table. Guilt build up inside him for falling asleep waiting for her. He first thought to wake her up and apologize but then seeing her sleeping so peacefully he scraped the idea.
He got ready and left for the office as he had urgent meetings lined up and thought to talk to sona in the evening.
****
Few hours later sona was in her cabin talking to a patient when some guy came with a bouquet of flowers.
Guy: mam this is for you mr dixit has sent
S: plz keep it on the table.
She requested and guy did the same.
As her patient left she went near the table and took the bouquet in hand. It had beautiful red roses and their essence were mesmerizing. It had a note in it, she took it and read
"Sorry Sonakshi for yesterday night and today morning. I had few urgent meetings which i couldn't avoid and even you were sleeping so peacefully so i thought not to disturb you and left without informing you. I really wanna make it up for my mistakes.
Tonight dinner at BoraBora i ll pick you up at 8 from your hospital. Is it fine??? Will be waiting for your call
yours
Mr Dixit
Reading this she was cont smiling. A strange feeling was developing inside her. She was very happy with his sweet gesture and excites at the same time for her first dinner date with her husband. Finally she will get few moments alone with him.
She immediately called dev but he dint picked up.
She then texted him, " Mr dixit i mean Dev i will be waiting for you"
Her entire day went in excitement she was happy smiling through out and so were her patients looking at their strict doctor not scolding them today.

It was 7.30 and she winded up all her work and went to the wash room to freshen up amd touch up. She wanted to look best for the night.
The clock stuck 8 and her heart started to beat faster n faster coz at any moment her mr dixit would be here.
She was moving from here and there when someone knocked at the cabin door she turned behind excitedly and found her childhood bestie Anindita Das.
"Andy what a pleasant surprise... "
Saying this she went and hug her.
S: (how come u r here you have settled in kolkata right)
A: ya actually my husband had suffered a heart attack and doc their advised us to come to delhi as there r best heart surgeons here.
Sona made her sit on her couch and gave her glass of water.
S: (dont worry every thing is gonna be fine)
A: hmm.. he is been hospitalized here i just saw ur name outside so came here to greet you. You say how's your life.
S: its going great. I just got married two days back.
A: what two days back and you r here back to work. Your inlaws seems to be very cruel.
S: shut up... its not that i love my job amd it was my decision to cont it and start working asap.
A: sona tu to abhi se apne inlaws ke rang me rang gai (she winked and teased her)
S: shut up... come lets go and check ur husband i ll see his report n give you a proper diet chart.
A: yes... even i came here for the same.
They both left her cabin and went towards the cardiac section.
Sona got busy with her work and meeting dev completely skipped out of his mind.
****
It was 10.30 when dev arrived ishwari mansion. " maa jaldi se khana lagao bahut bhook lagi hai" saying this he fell on the couch closing his eyes
Nikki and riya came out listening to his voice.
Nk: bhaiya aapki first dinner date kaise thi batao... bhabhi ke saath kya kya baatein hui
Dev realized and he stood up with a jerk.
R: bhaiya kyaaa hua... bhabhi kaha hai??? Aap dono ke beech koi baat hui kya.
D: kuch nahi...me thodi der me aata hu maa ko bata dena
He took his phone and left in a hurry. He asked his driver to take him to sona's hospital.
On the way he checked his phone and found sona's msg.
"Shhhaaayyy dev dixit how can u be so careless she must be waiting for you. Its already 11 and she is still waiting for u in hospital. Agar maa ko pata chala to me to gaya kaam se."
He called Tina and shouted on her for not letting him remind about his dinner date.
After listening to dev tina was sad n hurt too, she still apologize," i am sorry sir but aapne muje is date ke baare me kuch nahi bataya tha. U just asked me to not to schedule any meeting after 8"
D: i am sorry tina its my mistake... sorry again
He was feeling very guilty and angry on himself.
***
As he reached hospital he rushed to sona's cabin and it was empty. He asked the nurse and she informed sona being in cardiac section.
He went there and sona was not there too. He called her but it was unreachable.
He tried again and again m same response.
He came out of the hospital and banged his hand on his car for being so careless.
He dint know what to do. Should he tell his maa or not. He called riya and she informed sona has yet not reached home.
It was 11.30 and with each passing second he was getting scared for her. Should he inform her parents what should he do he had no idea.
He was moving here and there in frustration when he saw sona along with one female coming out from a cafe opposite to hospital. They were giggling and laughing and it seemed they had a great time.
Dev immediately ran towards them and started shouting
D: are you out of your mind mrs dixit here i was worried for you and you were busy having fun with your friends.
S: no need to shout mr dixit we r on road we can go home and talk. Yaha sabke saamne tamasha karne ki jarurat nahi.
Sona said good bye to her friend and asked her to call her if anything.
She then went and sat inside the car without looking at dev.
Even he did the same.
Inside the car
D: now can you explain me... how can you be so irresponsible and careless look the time mrs dixit
S: same goes for you mr dixit. You owe me an explanation first. (She reverted back which made him more angry)
D: i dont wanna give you any explanation coz i dont think aap samjhegi
S: to muje bhi aapko koi explanation nahi dena kyunki muje pata hai aap nahi samjhenge.
They both looked outside the window in the opposite direction no one ready to say sorry and accept their fault.
