Part 4
The whole ward (ward of nearly 15 beds) was messed up by the kids, all were sitting very steadily, not talking not eating they are just sitting with a frowned face and all their blankets, toys were thrown around, all the things are lying on the ground. Their parents are trying to talk to them, but none agrees to it. Shaan is a bit confused at that situation, he's standing still.
Their comes Dr. Khanak, running and stops in the middle of the room, and she's not shocked by the scene, she knew this was coming. She turns and sees Dr. Shaan standing with a confused expression, she smiles at him and turns towards the kids. She takes a long breath'
Khanak: Hello kids, good morning (smiling broadly) But none answers her, all are starring at her. She goes near a bed, to a kid.
Khanak: Kya hua?? Aap log breakfast kyun nahi kaa rahe hain?? Achche bachche aisa nahi karte hai!!
Kid 1: aap jo kar rahe ho, who sahi hai?? All kids get up from their bed and move towards her, with the serious expression on their faces. Khanak senses tension, to make it cool, she coolly walks over and picks all the toys.
Khanak: Maine?? Maine kya kiya?? (innocent)
Kid 2: time kya hai abhi ?? Khanak looks at her watch, realizes that she's half an hour late, though her duty starts from 9, everyday she used to come early only for the kids sake.
Khanak: sorry (holds her ears) main kya karthi, who Aayush hai na, he woke late today, uski waja se late ho gayi, sorry!! (smiles)
Kid 3: Sorry se kaam nahi chalega (pouts) Khanak is thinking of a ploy, to make them forgive her
Khanak: Ok aap log jho kahoge na main who maanongi, please, last time maaf kar do!!
Kid 4: jo kahenge who karna hoga aapko (points a finger at her)
Khanak:Sure, karongi na, but please kuch difficult mat dena'
All kids are now grinning and rubbing their hands, they make her sit in on the bed, and they see Dr. Shaan seeing and smiling at the situation, they make him also sit on one of the chairs kept for visitors, which is diadonally opp from Khanak. All kids surround her, their parents are also smiling, as they knew all this coming up for her. One kid kneels in front of her on the bed.
Kid: aapko gaana padega, hamare liye (all kids are smiling)
Khanak: Aap mazak kar rahe ho hai na?? main gaa vaa nahi sakthi (she tries to get up, but the kids never allow
Kid: Aapko gaana padega, nahi to hum, khana nahi khayenge. Everyone pouts'
Khanak: ok fine, but one last time, ok?? All kids start smiling, and are eagerly waiting, she starts
The song is Raabta- Shreya Ghoshal's version-
Kehte hain khuda ne iss jahan mein sabhi ke liye
Kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisi ke liye
Tera milna hai uss rab ka ishaara maanu
Mujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Tu humsafar hai, phir kya fikar hai
Jeene ki wajah hi yahi marna issi ke liye'
While singing, she makes the kids to eat, she cleans around and sings the song only for them, she sang the song like she's use to sing it every day. After she finished the song, all kide very happy, and hugged her, even she was happy for the kids. She noticed Shaan seeing at her, she came back to herself and she ordered the kids to go back to their bed and she went near Dr. Shaan, a bit embarrassed'
Khanak: Sorry Doctor, they are used to do this, aap naye ho na issliye aapko pata nahi hain (smiles)
Shaan: (gets up) so everyday u'll sing a song for them?? (smiling)
Khanak: nahi nahi, agar main har roz gaana gaathi, toh hospital main patients hi nahi aate (smiles)
Shaan: nahi Dr. Khanak, you sang really well (smiles) K's little embarrassed. And after that they took the rounds and Khanak had assisted him in the operation.
The whole week had passed with much spoken, but only about their proffesion, in the meanwhile, Aayush had become closer to Shaan, as Shaan had tried to get close to him, it had worked and both of them had become good friends..
It was Sunday, Khanak had promised Aayush to take him out, they had left their house by noon. They had reached a mall, K is wearing jeans and a black T-shirt, A is wearing 3/4th pant and a red T-shirt. Aayush wants to play games, so she takes him to game station.
Shaan had come out with his parents for shopping, don't know after how many days, in that matter months'They enter a mall, you can say co-incidence or destiny, even they are in the same mall.
Khanak and Aayush had left the game station, now aayush wanted to roam around. He's just twirling around and running, Khanak also running behind. She's happy to see him happy. Aayush runs until he collides with a woman, its Madhvi, Aayush feels sorry, Khanak comes there at that time. Madhvi bends down to check with aayush,
Madhvi: aap teek tho ho na???(smiles) Aayush just hugs khanak legs and slightly nods.
Khanak: im so sorry, he was just excited(smiles) (pats his shoulder)
Madhvi: oh no problem, bachcha hi tho hain(smiles sweetly and pats his head)
Khanak: hmm.. I think we should leave now, nice meeting you aunty(smiles)
Madhvi:yeh, aapka bachcha hain???
Khanak:hmm.. yes(smiles)
Madhvi: aap bahut young dikte ho(shocked)
By this time shaan and sunil had reached where Madhvi was standing and Shaan is shocked to see Khanak and Aayush there and at the same time happy too, to see them .
Shaan: Hey aayush, hello Dr.Khanak (with a smile) Khanak is surprised to see him
Khanak: Hello (smiles) (Aayush sees him and he's happy to see him) Aayush runs towards him'
Aayush: Hello uncle (hugs his legs) (Shaan picks him up)
Shaan: Kaise ho aap???
Aayush: bahut achcha (smiles sweetly)
Madhvi: Shaan tum inhe jaante ho??? (she is surprised, sunil is just watching)
Shaan: Yes, mom dad, Dr.Khanak hamari hospital main kaam karthi hain (smiles)
Madhvi: So, nice (to K), aapke husband bhi aaye hain???
Khanak is silent and a bit shy, she just bites her lower lip, she's about to reply but
Shaan: Mom, she's not married (Mads is totally confused) before she could think some more,
Shaan: Mom, chill, Aayush, Khanak ki bhaiyya ka beta hain (smiles)
Madhvi: ooh, nice, kitna pyaara bachcha hain, hain na Sunil???
Sunil: woh tho hain (smiles) Chalo beta saath main khaana khaate hain (to K)
Khanak: No uncle, u carry on hame chalna chaiyiye, chalo aayush neeche utharo.
Aayush: Mom aaj Shaan uncle ke saath lunch karte hain naa?? (asks sweetly)
Khanak: lekin Aayush
