Chapter 18

After having dinner Ashutosh was sitting on the couch leaning against its back with his eyes closed. He always felt a tug at his heart whenever the thought about losing Nidhi came to his mind. When Malika asked what will he do if Nidhi's parents doesn't agree to their relationship, his mind and heart got occupied in a tussle of its own...his heart is confident but his mind tries to reason... there was nothing to worry about after all he knew he had everything a girl's father can wish for his daughter but the unknown lineage and the disparity in their ages was haunting him whenever he mused about their relationship. Nidhi has become an inseparable part of his life...he can't imagine his life without her...an involuntary urge escape his lips when he uttered opening his eyes and looking heaven wards "I only want her...please!" a deep sigh follows and he closes his eyes again tightly as if shutting her in his eyes and treasuring her presence in his life, not allowing her to run away. A smile forms on his lips when a familiar scent strikes his senses, pair of delicate arms cocoon around his neck and a peck on his forehead, breaks his daze making him open his eyes. He grabs the beautiful braces that has fastened him in the garb for the lifetime and makes her to walk around the couch to sit beside him.

"Why you took so much time to come here?"

She responds his question with a question, "May I know first why you look so gloomy and what are you pondering about? I saw during dinner time you're not in your best mood...I thought to message you that very moment but for Dr. Malika I held back...how is she feeling now?"

He poses another one, "And how do I look now?"

Taking an exasperated breath, "Answer my question first"

I think I'm the one who asked first... "Where were you?" and pulls her in a side hug looking deeply in her eyes.

"Some doctors were talking in the lobby in my floor I waited for them to disperse." and gives a look saying now your turn and nestles to him resting her head on his chest and waits for him to answer her question.

"hmn...a deep sigh...Malika is better now...it'll take some time for her to come to terms with reality...she had all these years nurtured a hope that was doomed to break...I couldn't save her all these years from clinging to that hopeless hope and now from the pain she must be going through today"

"But what can we do for something that is beyond our power" she raises her head to look at him and asks "what's the other reason that I missed smile in those eyes"

Looking fondly at her he asks "Do my eyes smile...I didn't know?"

"For me they do...only for me...and only I can understand that"

Placing a peck on her forehead...he holds her tightly her cheek close touching him near his heart... "I was missing you"

She shakes her head "Not true...you were not missing me...because I was there with you...she burrows her head more deep...right here...I found myself in the every look you gave me" he tightens his grip more "Wasn't that something...what if...what if we..Can't" he tighten his grip more that stifles her and she murmurs... "Please"...he eases his grip a little... holding her tightly... "I'm sorry but please don't complete that Nidhi...don't...nothing like that would happen...you are mine...mine for all times to come"

"Thatz what I want to say we belong to each other...and no one and nothing can separate us...social acceptance gives a relationship recognition in society that doesn't make a relation"

Her words soothe the tempest inside him, "But I want you by my side... like this... tightening his grip a little...always...I need that social acceptance so that I don't have to wait to find a moment to be with you...thatz why I want to talk to your Baba as soon as we return"

"What if I talk to him first...she looks at him to see his reaction...I think he'll feel bad...if he comes to know about us through anyone other than myself... I always shared everything with my Baba"

"I've no problem Nidhi... but are you sure?...I mean I don't want you to face the outcome alone...I want to stand by your side"

"I always feel you by my side...don't worry everything will be fine...and if need be we'll fight together every odd that comes our way"

Looking assuredly at her...he nods his head...and pulls her close to his heart.

"That reminds me you talked to Baba again...how's uncle? I hope there is nothing serious"

"He is having a clot...he may need surgery in near future...the way he is complaining nasty recurring headaches... I think he needs further examination only then we can decide...I'll check him up when we return"

"Baba has told me to convey his thanks to you"

"So you have come to say his thanks"...seeing a glint in his eyes Nidhi shrugs her shoulders and answers "why would I?" Ashutosh understands and smiles in response.

"Last night you didn't allow me...Can I see this suite today?"

Releasing her he gets up and speaks austerely, "So you need the permission...yes Dr. nidhi you can have a look around" and moves to the bedroom.

Nidhi after visiting the suite knocks at the bedroom door...Ashuosh was lying on the bed... checking his mobile... his tie off... a few buttons of his shirt open...laying bare his broad chest.

Nidhi hesitates after seeing him in the state she changes her mind and asks... "Okay! I'm leaving Goodnight!"

He raises his eyebrow in his typical style and utters, "Come in and close the door".

"It's getting late I think I should go".

He gets up saying "Hmn...you are right you are getting late and you... lifts her in his arm... shoulddd go".

"What are you doing? Leave me"... "hmn..mn..you are staying here tonight"

Her mouth wide open... Nidhi's heart misses a beat and starts palpitating fast... he closes the door giving a slight kick and with a tongue in cheek smile looks at her...she was blushing... "Switch the lights off".

"No I can't... leave me"...her radiant blushes always took his heart away, in a husky tone he pleas, "Please Jaan".

Nidhi gets lost in his eyes and unknowingly raises her hand and turn the lights off...he steps out carrying her in his arms and drops her softly onto the balcony...when Nidhi straightens herself and shyly turns her back to him to avoid looking at his broad bare chest her eyes fell on the lake outside...she walks a few steps forward mesmerized at the sight and exclaims after a few seconds... "Wow! this is so beautiful"

Ashutosh who was waiting breathlessly for her reaction walks up to her and wraps her in his arms, "hmn...now this looks beautiful...so..so...beautiful"

"Why you didn't tell me last night?"

"Ma'm was busy seeking permission and I was not in a mood to allow anyone to tread on my personal space...both remain silent for sometime turning her hair to one side he pecks at the side of her neck making her writhe and speaks breaking the silence... "Why you need my permission Nidhi?"

"Who said I need your permission then I would have sought one before using the laptop in morning.

A smile forms on his face and he starts caressing her neck using his lips..."You are so soft Nidhi"...

Maddening caresses only make her utter, "please"... unable to bear she makes him to open his arms and turns to hide herself in his chest hugging him tightly...slowly raising his arms he holds her in a tight embrace...

After some time he softly ruffles her hair and ask, " Jaan...you don't want to look at the beautiful sight"

pouting she answers "With so much disruption how can one get pleasure from looking at the beautiful sight...he laughs out loud...I'm going back to my room".

He chuckles... "Didn't I say you are staying here tonight" and in a tongue in cheek smile waits for her response..

"I can't you know that"... he turns her back to look at the view she was enjoying and asks "Why you can't stay here?"

"What if some one comes here?"

"Who'll come?Dr. Behl has gone to meet his Aunt...Malika? If she comes...no problem...she knows now"

She didn't respond and both remain silent for sometime...looking at the serene waters and twinkling lights on its waves...Nidhi breaks the silence... "This must be presenting an equally beautiful view during day time"

"Well! I don't know"

"Why? You didn't see" and turns to look at him with a little frown...

Looking deep into her eyes... "When you are not around...heaven is hell for me...yesterday evening I only had a quick look... when I saw I couldn't take the second glance"...Nidhi turns emotional... their eyes remain locked...their trance gets broken when they here some sound from nearby balcony... Nidhi whisper in his ear "Let us move inside"...he whispers back... "No one can see us...It's quite dark... thatz why I made you to turn off the lights".

They remain silently watching the view and enjoying the moment cuddled up together...Ashutosh takes a deep sigh...caressing her arms with his hands and burrowing his face in the side of her neck... Ashutosh's sighs of contentment occasionally breaks the silence... she raise her hand and ruffle his hair with her delicate fingers...when she makes a slight movement...he whispers "hmn..stay here"... "Let us go in"...

"Why you are not enjoying...you like such views"... "hmn...I just love it"...a nibble in response makes her to straighten herself... "You repeated that...you can't love anyone and anything else...only me"

Nidhi understands what he meant by that frown when she said those words when they were on lakeside... "But I don't love you"...

"Really!"... "Hmn...did I ever say...what gave you the delusion"...realizing his grip on her loosening...she turns and swiftly moves into the room but he follows quickly and manages to come on her way making her to retreat her steps slowly...

"Repeat...what you're saying Dr. Nidhi" he moves a step forward and she takes a step backward with their eyes locked when finally nidhi plops down on the bed"

Ashutosh sits on her side and grabbing her shoulders makes her to lie back on the pillow and leaning forward places a soft peck on her forehead... "Repeat your words Jaan"...

Reticently she answers, "I said I don't love you"...a peck goes on her right eye, "come again"...her heart thumping she murmurs, "please"

A peck on her left eye, "I'm waiting"...blushing profusely she manages to utter "I don't love you"...

A lingering kiss goes on her right cheek, "hmn"...but Nidhi forgets what she was saying he huskily whispers near her ear... "Come again"...

"Please"...he waits and when she repeats her "I don't...he brands a searing kiss on her left cheek...that leaves her blazing hot...and "love you" escapes her lips...both the hearts beating one and racing enormously...when he moves to kiss her lips.."what did you say?...repeat"...he waits for her...she had her eyes closed...he trails her lips with his thumb and asks in a husky voice, "repeat" not able to bear anymore she blurts out, "I love you" he leans forward and places a soft gratifying kiss on her lips.

Raising his head he gives an intense look to her...the sight before his eyes was compelling... "blushing cheeks...raising and falling chest...hair sprawled on the pillow... and fists tightly holding the bed sheet...he slowly makes her release her fists and taking her hands in his, places kisses on her hands...pulls her up in a tight embrace saying, "I love you Nidhi" and keeps her cuddled till both calm their mounting tempest.

Nidhi after a while tries to move out of the hug, "I think I should leave now"...as usual gloom takes over Ashutosh's face and he relentlessly holds her back and asks her to stay there.

"I can't ...you know"... "please" a pleading look. She pushes him away and his hand touches the LCD remote control...the sudden boom in the uneasy calm environs jolts Nidhi that makes him to laugh and she also joins him...shaking her head she gets up to move but he holds her hand with the same pleading look and a song plays on the TV

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2jg36hzR5o

Saanson Ko Saanson Mein Dalne Do Zara

The song lyrics and his unblinking look brimming with desire melt her insides...

Saanson Ko Saanson Mein Dalne Do Zara
Dheemi Si Dhadkan Ko Badne Do Zara
Lamho Ki Guzarish Hai Yeh Paas Aa Jaaye
Hum... Hum Tum...
Tum... Hum Tum...

Ashutosh gets up turns her to face him...holds her chin to make her look at him...the eyes she was averting now...

Aankhon Mein Humko Utharne Do Zara
Baahon Mein Humko Pighalne Do Zara
Lamho Ki Guzarish Hai Yeh Paas Aa Jaaye
Hum... Hum Tum...
Tum... Hum Tum...

Saanson Ko Saanson Mein Dalne Do Zara

He picks her up in his arms and makes her to lie down on the bed by his side...she twirls her back to him...but he turns her back and caress her blushing cheeks with his fingers...

Salvatein Kahin Karwatein Kahin
Phel Jaaye Kajal Bhi Tera
Nazron Mein Ho Guzar Tha Hua
Khwabon Ka Koi Khafila
Jismo Ko Ruho Ko Jale Do Zara
Sharmo Khaya Ko Machalne Do Zara
Lamho Ki Guzarish Hai Yeh Paas Aa Jaaye
Hum... Hum Tum...
Tum... Hum Tum...

Saanson Ko Saanson Mein Dalne Do Zara

Choolon Badan Magar Iss Tarah
Jaisa Surila Saaz Ho
Hum Hai Re Chupe Tere Zulf Mein
Kholo Ke Raat Azaad Ho

Unable to bear the lyrics of song and the glare resonating every word of the song...she turns swiftly and gets up to flee...but he manages to hold the corner of her dupatta and breath hiccups when she feels the tug at her dupatta and manages to hold it by placing a hand on thumping chest...his pull makes her to retreat and sit back on the bedside...

Aanchal Ko Seene Se Dhalne Do Zara
Shabnam Ki Boondein Phisalne Do Zara
Lamho Ki Guzarish Hai Yeh Paas Aa Jaaye
Hum... Hum Tum...
Tum... Hum Tum...
Saanson Ko Saanson Mein Dalne Do Zara
Bahon Mein Humko Pighalne Do Zara
Lamho Ki Guzarish Hai Yeh Paas Aa Jaaye
Hum... Hum Tum...
Tum... Hum Tum...

When song ends he simply asks her "you don't trust me?" and Nidhi forgets everything...she leans back settles herself on the bed and waits for him to lie down on her side.

With eyes little popped out with surprise and look gratifying with the trust she reposed on him he leaps himself to her side and lies down next to her...Ashutosh straightens her long hair sprawled on the pillow and burrows his face in her hair taking in her smell...she turns her head a bit...and slowly ruffle his hair...his few sighs told her how much he was trying to contain himself...a thin thread of distance between their bodies told her how much he sanctifies her trust...after sometime she hears his consistent breaths and finds him sound asleep.

She stops soft ruffles on his hair... slowly makes him to turn and pulls out her hair...she watches him sleeping unblinkingly... when hard to resist she places a soft kiss on his forehead and smiles at the way he turns back to the same position as he was sleeping...slowly moving out of the bed she tucks him under the comforter and leaves his room...the floor only had suites, and only senior and distinguished doctors were staying in the floor...so the floor remained mostly deserted...she quickly takes the lift and walks away to her room...her floor still had doctors moving as it wasn't that late when she moves in to her room.

Malika hardly ate anything in the dinner...the few morsels she had was only on Ashutosh's insistence...she was ruefully smiling at her own state in her bed musing over the thought whether she should weep on losing him or enjoy his care and concern after such a long time. She had felt him maintaining a distance always ever since she disclosed her feelings for him...he has felt a friend by her side after a long time...it seemed ages to her...today he waited for her in the dinner and after a long time they dined together...past few years she hardly saw him even initiating a conversation with her...she was always the one who moved around him..but today when every hope dashed to the dust...she suddenly found her friend back...come what may she won't lose his friendship again she resolves...but the pain of losing him takes over and tears start flowing...the thought Nidhi will have first right on him...right above everyone else the thought makes her to sob her heart out...she stole a few glances to look at her while having the dinner to confirm herself whether she loves him too...but she didn't see anything...their looks were impassive...but he said she loves him too...he won't lie... how he would be looking at her...the way he was looking at her intensely at lakeside...how she would be feeling at his intense gaze as empowered as I could have felt to see love in his eyes...how he talks to her...the same way he talks with everyone...or lovingly and adoringly like a man talks to his woman... only she will see that side of him...how she must be feeling at his touch as coveted as I could've felt...no he may not have touched her yet...but ultimately he'll touch her with all the love I saw in his eyes...no matter how gentleman he is...but he is a man...she has funnelled desire in him I saw in his stare...the look I never saw in his eyes for anyone ever...he would want her, touch her like his woman...the thoughts swirl her head...unable to bear even in her thoughts that he belongs to someone else...her slow tears turn to sobs and she cries herself to sleep.

Next day morning Ashutosh wakes up to a pleasant morning...the familiar scent on his bed makes him to burrow himself deep into the pillow...suddenly he remembers last nights happenings and he extends his hand to touch her at the side she was sleeping...feeling an empty space he opens his eyes and turns to look other side of his bed...when emptiness stares him he shakes his head in exasperation...refuting the happenings as a nightmare...I may have been hallucinating last night followed by a beautiful dream all night...he pulls his comforter and delves deep into the pillow on the side he felt her all night...but the smell on his pillow brings him to his senses and he gets up...when he saw he hasn't even changed he was still in last day's clothes...he takes his phone to call her...the ring coming from his bedside table further jolts him out of his trance she has left her phone here...he moves to bedside to take the intercom to call her...when his eyes locate the pearl pendant she was wearing near his pillow...his heart misses a beat...he takes the pendant caresses it looking fondly at it...he quickly dials the number of her room...a sleepy hello on the other side makes him to take a deep breath...she recognises the intake of breath and sleepily utters, "Good morning"...her wish makes him to take a sigh of relief... "How are you jaan?"...sleepily she answers... "I'm fine...why...what happened? Had a nightmare"... "If I behave again like the way I behaved last night...you have my permission...you'll hit me hard wherever you wish...to bring me back to my senses"...his words woke her up fully...she giggles in response and asks, "who are you to give me the permission? And I can never hit you"...closing his eyes in response... "Yeah you don't need my permission but promise me you'll hit me hard and won't relent to any of such demands"... "Oh! Really? Okay! Let me sleep"...he says nothing in response and she didn't hang up the phone... "How and when you returned to your room...I hope no body saw you"... "Relax! I came back last night...you're sound asleep after 15 minutes...I slowly slipped out and came back...nobody saw me it wasn't that late...it was only 11 at that time"... "How can you relent to any such demand of mine...I lost my senses and you followed whatever I said"... "What was wrong in that I trust you and I trust our love"... "And what if anyone would have seen you...I put my honour at risk and you didn't bother to stop me"... "Relax! Thatz why I came back to my room...no body saw me"... "but..."... she cuts him... "Enough! Stop it now"...taking a deep breath...he plops back into his bed... "after ages I slept such a sound sleep thanks my love for the wonderful night and this blissful morning" his mind starts wandering how her presence made his mornings so beautiful...live is worth living when you are around love "You have left your phone here"... "hmn...I know...I came to know last night when I reached here"...and there is also something else I found besides your scent resting on my side...whatz that?...your pendant...she remains silent...both start cherishing last night's moments they spent together...he knew she must be blushing...and in glint of mischief he asks, "Repeat the words you said last night"... "Bye I have to get ready" and she hangs up the phone...he smiles and kisses the pendant and again delves deep into the pillow... "Oh god! When can I have her by my side...when I don't have to hold this stupid yet so lucky pillow immersed in her scent"

She knocks at his door short while after calling him from her room saying that she'll come to take her cell phone and he was waiting for her, almost all the doctors had moved towards the convention centre...when he answers her knock he turned his eyes towards living room whispering "Malika" and hands over her the phone pocketed in his coat...she gives a long drawn blink saying she understands and leaves after receiving an air kiss from him...Malika was lost in her thoughts looking outside through the open window...her trance gets broken when he utters... "Shall we move"...she nods in response and asks "who was on the door"... "hmn..Room service"... she again nods her head and both move towards the conference hall...the day passed like the previous day...in the second session it was Malika's turn to speak to the gathering...though dejected and gloomy...she spoke with sheer professionalism...Nidhi's heart felt her pain...she deliberately avoided her since last evening...feeling that her presence may add to her pain...though they never openly exhibited their feelings for each other...but in Malika's presence she even avoided to look towards him.

Malika's eyes were on them...she was trying to find and see the hidden side of her lost love...the side she wanted to see which only Nidhi can see now...she wanted to see how he looks at her...and how she reacts when he glances at her lovingly...but she finds nothing...actually glances they passed to each other where the ones only they understood...just for a fraction of a minute...that was hard for anyone to understand...their love taught them the knack and more so Ashutosh's expertise in maintaining the professional demeanour helped her to learn the professionalism. She always wandered after seeing his so desperate side when they are alone, how he manages to hold himself so well in presence of others.

When that day's session ends he calls her from his room, "what is my love doing?"... "Nothing"... "Get ready we are going to see Arman" ... "And what about sea view" he laughs in response "sometimes I see a glimpse of a kid in you"... "Fine! I don't want to see"... "What happened...missing me?"...she remains silent...he knew... he too missed her with equal enormity...they didn't talk even once during the day... "So how much time you need...ten minutes?"...she answers "hmn"... "See you my love..and hey jaan...malika is also accompanying us"... "That is great otherwise I would feel guilty to keep her bearing her pangs alone"...Ashutosh feels joy in his heart he smiles in response and says a silent thank to god for the lovely woman she has bestowed him with. "Fine! see you in ten minutes"

Ever since Malika came to know about them she was facing Nidhi for the first time...Nidhi decked up in a sky blue chiffon saree having silver lines drawn on borders and wearing silver dangles was looking breath taking, she politely wishes her when she saw her coming waiting for Ashutosh at the reception..."Ashutosh hasn't arrived yet?"... "No Ma'm, Sir is coming in a minute"...Malika frowns hearing Sir from her and seeing her behaving formally...Nidhi was doing that deliberately as she didn't want to add her unease and pain...she saw Ashutosh coming who got stuck at the sight after seeing Nidhi she lowers her eyes seeing the intensity in his glance...she raises her head again and pointed towards him... "He is coming"... "Hello ladies! Ready?"...Malika nods in response..." Ashutosh please you go I'm waiting here for Dr. Banerjee she wants me to go shopping with her... I couldn't say no to her... Ashutosh and Nidhi exchange glances... "But you were coming to see Arman "... "I'm sorry I couldn't say no to her, she has remained our teacher...I promise if I get the time I'll join you there"... "Are you sure?"...She nods and Ashutosh and Nidhi silently move out and get into the cab that was waiting for them.

"I think she was ready she avoided at the last moment"...Ashutosh shrug his shoulders in response... "I don't think so but she did right though I wished her to come because I felt bad leaving her alone in such state but now if she is going out with Dr. Banerjee that is much better...she may have felt more bad"

They travel silently towards Arman's place the calm was broken by Nidhi's soft exclaim when she saw they were moving towards the Sea... "Arabian sea!" he smiles in response and answers, "Arman lives in Juhu...his living room presents panoramic view of the sea"

She gestures looking at him, "I want to go there and points towards the sea"... suppressing his chuckle he nods his head and asks driver to take them to Marine drive. When the driver stops the car...they both get off...he holds her hand and walks the boulevard with her...

"Happy!"...she nods her head...the sun was setting and it was presenting a breath taking look...Nidhi was watching the sunset mesmerizingly but Ashutosh's eyes were watching the sunrise of his life...when Nidhi gets aware of his eyes...she turns and gives a questioning look to him...he shakes his head but continues watching her intensely and unblinkingly...Nidhi looks around... "What are you doing?"

A deep breath... "Do you know you are looking breathtakingly beautiful". He takes out his mobile and take a few pictures of her and sunset in the background...

"Can we take a pic together?"... "But how? Who'll take the picture"...Nidhi gestures him to wait and he frowns in response. She stops a girl and asks politely for her favour...the girl clicks the photo and poses a question, husband wife? Nidhi abashed looks at Ashutosh who seemed enjoying her question ...Nidhi shakes her head in a 'no' in response...the girl gives a look that conveyed she found odd and hard to believe that they are a couple...

Ashutosh smiles at girl's weird stare "does that mean we should marry soon...we are acceptable as married couple...but not the one dating and in love"... "hmn...arranged marriages do happen with such difference in ages...but to be in love is exception"

"I want to paddle along the sea shore"...he gives her a pop eyed look ... "Have a look at your dress?"

"What is wrong with this dress? Don't people visit seaside in a saree?"

"No there is nothing wrong...if you can hold your fabric against the strong sea wave...I've no problem"

Understanding dawns on Nidhi and her cheeks turn red when she realises what would be her state if she gets steeped in a sea wave. Ashutosh smiles when he saw her covering herself with loose end of her saree...only he knew how hard he was finding to avert his eyes and not to look at her when the wind was making her every curve quite obvious.

"Shall we move now?...it was getting dark he holds her in a side hug and walk towards their cab...we can see that on our return"... She was still blushing and remains silent.

When they reach Arman's place...a small white bungalow on a seaside... Ashutosh enters first... Nidhi was walking behind as she took sometime looking around...when Arman and Sneha see their friend they almost jump in joy and Arman holds his friend in tight embrace...Ashutosh gives Sneha a side hug and Arman gestures him... "Where is she?"

Smiling at his impatience he turns his eyes towards door and Arman's sight catches her...he yells at her... "Hello sweetheart!"...

Nidhi smiles and mumbles "Arman Bhaya"...she walks quickly towards them. Arman takes her in a side hug and Sneha follows the suit giving her a tight hug ...Ashutosh looks fondly at them... contemplating who can say they are meeting first time.

When they enter Arman calls out her two year old daughter... "Riya...look darling who's here" who seemed little cranky in her maid's lap...when she turns they all wait for her reaction...she quickly gets down and comes yelling... "Nidimashi"... "Nidimashi" hard to comprehend but Nidhi understands and she leans forward and grabs her in a quick embrace... "Howz my sweet heart?"... "my chocooate" Ashutosh's eyes popped out... she forgot her chachu...Nidhi and Arman smile in response.

Sneha: Come let us sit ...they all settle in the couches...Riya was still in Nidhi's lap ...they exchanged few kisses on their cheeks...Ashutosh was watching them astonishingly.

Ashutosh: "Riya, sweetheart...you forgot your chachu"...as if she hasn't seen him she quickly gets down and run towards his chachu. All smile at her expression..Ashutosh cuddles her and makes her to sit in his lap. She leans against his chest...Ashutosh feeling her head hot ...checks her pulse and calls Arman who was busy talking with Nidhi, "Armaan Riya is having fever"

Arman: Yes Ashu...she has been cranky all day...last night when she had fever...I took her to the doctor but she has not responded well to the medicines so far.

Ashu: "Her Nidhi Massi can check her... but Arman how come she know her...mashi"

Nidhi: We talk almost every night on skype...so we have...in a way... met already...Ashutosh nods his head looking towards Arman who was sitting next to him.

Nidhi checks Riya and asks for a torch to check her throat and ear. After checking her she concludes, "She is having infection in her ear" and prescribes an eardrop. Arman calls out his driver and asks him get the medicine...in no time the driver comes back and Nidhi administers eardrops in her ear.

Arman who was watching her keenly as if unable to believe that his friend has finally lost his heart and she is the lucky one who has won his friends heart. Ashutosh observe him watching her and understands his friend's joy...he places a hand on his hand in silent understanding when Arman utters... his stare still at Nidhi... "I can't believe Ashu though I talked to her every night...Is she really the reality...I'm so happy...tears of happiness flow his eyes...I so wished and waited for this day"

After 15 minutes till Ashutosh and Nidhi finish their cold drinks...Riya is back in her normal mood with her temperature little down.

Arman remarks, "Wow! Ashu you just fell in love or you chose her...a good doctor...a perfect match for a perfectionist"

Ashutosh smiles looking at him... "That happens when you wait ages for your love"

Arman: Hmn..you get a perfect person...and a perfect match...that may be true for you...but what about Nidhi...she hasn't got the best. Nidhi! I feel sorry for you dear.

Ashutosh glares at him and Nidhi responds with a smile saying... "I know...thank you for your concern Bhaya"

Ashutosh raise his eyebrow looking at Arman as if saying, 'Not an easy target for teasing'... who in response says, "Perfect for Heartstone" and they all smile...
