1 week later
Siddhant is staring blankly on the papers without paying attention to the meeting. He is distracted, by Roli. He couldn't stop thinking about her.
Am I in love again? No, that's not possible. Is it? Siddhant chuckle.
Suddenly all eyes are on him.
"Oh nothing, I was just thinking about something else. Anyways, anything else you wants to say about this project?"
Silent.
"Ok then, I'll wrap up this meeting now. Anything else please refer to Sera, she will deliver the message to me."
He smile and leave the meeting room.
"Sera, what's up with big boss? He seems to be distracted today. And I've never seen he smile like that before."
Karan, one of the staff asks Sera.
"Ah you know, he seems to be in a happy mood lately. Well it's not like he's a moody all the time, but I think he's in love.
I've never seen him smiling that much too, especially when he's having a meeting like just now. But who knows right."
Siddhant decides to go to the hospital today. He wants to see roli again. He doesn't know why. He just wants to see her. He left the office 2 hours early. It was bored anyways. The big project he's working right now going on smoothly and everything went well.
He went straight to see Amar at his office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amar- "Hey siddhant, what are you doing here?"
Siddhant- "What? I can't meet my friend now"?
Amar- "Hahaha, that's not what I meant Siddhant. But seriously, you didn't text nor call me before coming, and you've never come and meet me during office work because apparently, you are too busy working everyday." Amar teased him.
Siddhant- "Ha ha ha, very funny. Well, I came here to ask about the patient who has the heart disease, named Pre.. Dwivedi or something.."
Amar- "You meant, prem?"
Siddhant- "Ah yes, him."
Amar- "Well, what about him?"
Siddhant- "You know, I kinda bumped into his sister that day before I came to see you. She seems really nice. And umm...
I was kinda wondering about the costs for her brother's operation."
Amar- "It costs a lot Siddhant, for a person like her. I really pity her. I heard that she had to drop out of university and
working day and night to earn money."
Siddhant- "How about their parents?"
Amar- "From what I heard, their parents died in a tragic accident and moved from vrindavan to here."
Siddhant is in deep thinking. He wants to help her but he is afraid that she will be mad at him or decline the offer.
Siddhant- "I want to pay for the operation amar, I want to help them. But I want to keep it secret. I mean the donor of the money. I don't want them to know that I'm the one who pay for the operation."
Amar- "Well that is possible. But are you sure you want to do this? Don't get me wrong, and I'm sure they will be really happy to know this, but why do you want to be an anonymous donor?"
Siddhant- "Because I don't want them to feel thankful to me. I don't want them to feel burden or thinking to pay back the money to me. I am sincere to help them and let's just it be that way."
Amar-"I'm very proud of you my friend, and I've always been." Amar smiled.
Siddhant- "Do you think I can meet this prem guy, if it's not disturbing his rest time?"
Amar- "Yes you can, in fact it would be good to have a visitor other than his sister sometimes. His room is 007. He should be in his room by this time."
Amar glance at his watch.
Siddhant- "Thanks buddy. I will meet you later alright."
Knock knock
Prem - "Just come in Roli, I know that is you".
Siddhant- "I'm not Roli, I guess..."
Prem- "Oh hi... Well obviously you are not Roli."
Prem flash his eyesmile to the male stranger in front of him.
Prem- "Who are you? And what you are doing here? Oh, please take a seat."
Siddhant- "I thought that this is my friend's room, but I guess not. My name is siddhant."
Prem- "My name is prem, prem dwivedi. This room has been my second house for the past months, so you must have gotten the wrong information. But it's good to have another visitor for a while. My sister is the only who visited me every day." He gave a weak smile.
Siddhant- "How about your friend?"
Prem- "Well, I don't have any friend. My sister and I moved to Delhi just recently before I was admitted to the hospital."
Siddhant- "I see. Well I can be your friend, if you want." siddhant smile.
Prem- "Of course, I'd love to. How old are you?"
Siddhant- "I'm 24 years old."
Prem- "Well, I'm 25 years old so you will have to call me brother then."
Siddhant- "I don't have any brother or sister, so it's good to have a person that I can call brother now."
Prem- " Hey siddhant, i was just kidding man... You can call me Prem"
Siddhant- "Haha, my pleasure."
Roli heard noises from her brother's room and she was wondering who would be in his room since there's no way that her brother would have a chat with the nurses here since he is quite shy around girls.
"Bhayya?"
Prem- "Oh Roli... Come here lil sis, come meet my new friend."
Roli- "Hey prem bhayya, I'm not so little anymore you know" She eyed her brother playfully.
Prem- "Arrey, you will always be my little baby sister even if you are married? Oh yeah,siddhant, this is Roli..
my precious little sister, and Roli., this is Siddhant, my new friend."
Isn't that the guy! Oh no...
"I'm Siddhant."
"Hi, I'm Roli."
Roli smile and Siddhant felt a sudden butterfly movement in his stomach.
Siddhant- "Well, I have to go now. It's nice meeting both of you, and I will pay another visit soon. Bye Prem"
He just stared at roli for a while... May be their eyes were talking beyond the worlds
Siddhant- " Bye Rooolli ji"
He said with a sigh..
And with that he left the room quickly.
Prem- "Goodbye siddhant, see you again."
Prem semi shouted.
Prem- "What is wrong with that boy, he seems nervous when you are here just now. Does he actually like you?"
Prem teased his little sister. But little did he know that it might be true. He chuckle when he saw both of Roli's cheek blush red like a tomato.
Roli- "Bhayya, what are you talking about. Maybe he's just in a rush who knows."
Roli can't help but to wonder what the guy was doing in her brother's room ...
Siddhant- "I want the procedure for the operation to be prepared as soon as possible. I will transfer the money tomorrow.
The rest, you know what to do right, Amar?"
Amar- "No worry siddhant, I will take care of it."
Siddhant "Ok Then, I'm heading home now. See you later Dr.L."
Siddhant laugh over his friend's childish nickname. Amar loved to be called L. It's not that he doesn't like his name, but since he likes Death Note too much, that's why.
Amar-"Hey, don't laugh! I will write your name on the death note later on if you don't stop now."
Siddhant-" HaHaHa Amar... Amar, I didn't know how you ended up being a doctor, friend. Ha, I'm late already. Gotta go now. Bye."
Amar- "Have a safe journey Siddhant."
