"rihana.....dont trouble mama like this..where r u..??....sweety just one more sip....milk's good for kids....!!.."
Rihana meanwhile was content listening to her mother's words...and simply refused to show herself..after hiding successfully behind the curtains the other day..this time rihana was was having a fun time under the bed...!!
"rihana itz already late for school...n u r playing hide n seek with mama..beta please naa...cum..otherwise i 'll be 'katty' with u for the whole day.."'.aziza knows she has done the trick and smiles mischieviously..
Rihana meanwhile comes running'..
"maa please don't be angry naa u'll have to speak to me otherwise with whom will I gossip about my friends after coming back from school..?"
Aziza smiles.."achcha..to datz what ur mom's for u ..look @ u..barely 8 years old..and u talk of gossiping'.!!"
Rihana becomes sad.."no mom..u know I cnt stop loving u..ever .u r mu life .if u don't talk to me I'll be all alone...who will I play with ?..maa I love it when u run behind me like an angry bull..!!"
"rihana u called me a bull..??....."..as aziza looks away dejected..
"but my bull's special..she is neither fat nor ugly'she's the most prettiest bull in the world'n I know itz her bday 2 day..n datz why I love her even more...!!"
Aziza is teary eyed.."aww..my baby..come.."..and aziza and rihana hug..!!
Just as aziza brings the milk glass nearer..rihana shouts n runs away ...n aziza runs behind her....!!!
**************************
"aziza maam'happy bday'!!"'.
"thanks Tanya...any new cases..?"
"maam'yes'actually it's a case recommended by naina maam{aziza's favorite teacher..}'."
"acha..??...ohh..send me the case history'!!"
"ok mam patient no 401 n 310 were asking for you by the way..."
"Tanya'how many times do I tell u..dont call the patients by their ward name'they r not in a jail'this is their home'and any ways its not like there r a 100 people here that you cant remember the names just a 15 names..!!
"sorry mam.."
"fine...i am going to the general ward now don't keep chattering...!!"
**************************************
It was 2pm...when aziza finally returned from the general ward..she really loved spending time with the patients'.they meant a lot to her..they were like her extended family..the faces kept changing every week..but the relations were the same..they were like her motherly n fatherly figures to her..
Aziza saw a file kept on her table..and realized she had not read the case history of the new patient.
She opened the file..n was immediately captivated by the smiling photo of a 28 year old guy his smile was so deep that aziza began to smile too and thus began the start of an unbelievable love ..!!
Aziza closed the file after reading it..
Pancreatic cancer'4 months already'and aziza knew clearly..that 98% patients of this type meet a painful death..within a year...
Aziza thought'
"must be a cigarette smoker or an excessive coffee drinker but he is so young..."
Aziza gloomily read his reports and to her the situation looked dismal..
Aziza called Tanya..
"this new patient..whats his name'.Rehan '.start with his chemotherapy 'dr rajesh and dr mrinal will be there'.i'll not be coming tomorrow...."
"right maam.."
*****************************************************
It was 6:30 pm when Aziza started from the hospital..she was late for her own "surprise bday party"..planned by rihana....taking all the required monetary help from aziza...!!!!
Suddenly in the road she saw tree uprooted and bunch people standing gloomly at the other side..
Aziza looked at those people..some thing seemed to have caught her attention'yes that smile'.even in such a hopeless situation..where had she seen it'."ohh..its rehan'!!"'aziza exclaimed...
Aziza went forward and called "rehan..!!"
Rehan ..looked back absolutely surprised at being called by some one unknown'.still he went forward..
"hii..do I know u..?"
"no.u don't..but u'll soon know me hospital is this way..n u need to be there now !!..do one thing ..take my car n go with ur family..!"..she said..acknoledging his parents and family
"oh .. .thanks but who r u..??.."
"u'll know that later..now go and..i'll take ur taxi....park my car inside the hospital and give the keys to ur nurse...."
"ohh sure..u can trust me."rehan said..flashing his million dollar smile. . .aziza smiled back
"now I must rush"
And the two went away in their directions not knowing they r meant to travel together....
*********************************
Aziza entered her house which had now no light.
"ohh'I forgot to pay the bill!!"'aziza thought
Just then she found a whole lot of children tring to hug her rihana whispered
"momwe thought when u'll enter we switch off the lights but the lights went away itself'I swear..n now its all dark n spooky.!!!"
"itz okay'we'll celebrate a candle light bday wont that be soo exciting'?"
All the children got excited.
After lighting the candles...
"rihana..isnt it a super bday party u have planned for mama..?...chocolates..ice cream..pizzas..which I hate'n musical chairs'!!...quite a mature planning.."'said aziza mischieviously.
"I know u'll love it maa..!!"'.rihana said more mischieviously and playfully ran away...
Aziza spent a very fun birthday..playing with the kids and having all the junk food !!!...not knowing that her life's not gonna be like this any time soon...
