part 3
Roli got up the next morning and her body was aching. It had been like that for a few days.
Flashback
Roli was walking on the road, lost in thoughts. She had a day off that day, but still wasn't relaxed. Her mother hadn't been well from a few days. It was just a fever, but Roli always took everything very seriously so she was tensed. Suddenly a car came from behind, and its brakes had failed. But Roli failed to notice the car as she was thinking about her mother. As she came out of her thoughts she saw her friend up ahead and she was telling her to turn. At the last moment she turned around and before she could think what to do, someone had pushed her out of the way of the car. Her head must have hit something because after that everything was blank. After a few minutes when Roli gained consciousness, she looked around to see who may have saved her. But the only person there was her friend Swathi. "Swathi... wh, what happened?" she had asked. "Roli!! Where were you lost? Thank God for sending that angel to help you, otherwise who knows what may have happened to you." "Who saved me Swathi?" "I don't know Roli. I had called the ambulance for him, but then I was busy looking after you. Are you ok?" "yes. I'm fine. I'm still wondering who it was that saved me. I just pray to God that whoever it was gets saved and nothing serious happens." "Hmm... Ok come I'll drop you at your home" "Ok. Let's go"
End of flashback
Roli was alright and in fact started going to work the very next day although her parents tried to convince her not to go. But she still wondered if that person was alright. Then her thoughts again diverted towards Siddhant. She had to find out who he was because for some reason or another she felt an odd connection to him. She got up and got ready. Roli left the house without even having breakfast because she could not wait to find out about her Siddhant. "wait. my siddhant?" thought Roli. Why do I care so much about him, and why did I refer to him as my? With this confusion still bothering her, Roli stepped into the hospital.
The head nurse told Roli that the doctor wanted to see her. Roli obliged and went to go see the doctor. "Hello doctor." "Oh. Hello Roli. I hope you're feeling better today." "Yes doctor. I feel alright. Thank you for asking." "Ok. That's good to hear. Ok so Roli, I need you to look after one patient in particular. All other things can be taken care by others. You need to look after Mr. Bharadwaj." Roli started thinking, "If I'm with Mr. Bharadwaj all day then how will I find out about Siddhant? But I can't say no either. I have never said no to any work assigned to me" So Roli said "Ok doctor. I will take care of Mr. Bharadwaj." "Ok good Roli. I have chosen you as you're perfect for this job, being an orthopaedic nurse. You can obtain Mr. Bharadwaj's details from the head nurse. Keep me updated on his progress." "Ok doctor." Saying this, Roli headed towards the head nurse. After obtaining Mr. Bharadwaj's details from the head nurse, Roli was saddened by the fact that he's paralysed. She wanted to help him. Her only concern was how she will get to find about Siddhant. In this confusion she didn't even read the file properly, which said Siddhant Bhardwaj. Lost deep in thoughts, Roli headed towards Mr. Bharadwaj's room half-heartedly...
Meanwhile in the room, Siddhant had consoled himself and got himself to stop crying as he knew that his parents would come to see him today. He wanted to appear strong in front of them, in order to keep them strong as well. He hadn't slept really well the previous night due to the various thoughts about his injury and about Roli. So he decided to go to sleep for an hour or two before his parents arrived. As he dozed off to sleep, taking the blanket over his face, Roli opened the door to his room...
