Part 1 - He is not you!"Hello Professor!"
"Hi Soumya! When did you arrive, Did I make you wait for a long time?"
"No Professor, I didn't wait for a long time. I just arrived here. "
"Thats fine Soumya, A bit busy with committee meeting and all."
"Its okay Professor.."
"So you have your joining letter?"
"As if I dare to forget it, here you go.."
"Okay then, so come I will show you around... "
She smiled and left with him. As they moved around the corridor seeing many patients moving by, some interns hurrying towards their places,she smiled. Last year she too was like them, hurrying to do things, shuffling her schedule to prepare for her PG entrance examination, not remembering any other things with her life revolving only around the college... She did do a lot of hard work, only for sake of... She was brought out from her thoughts by " Soumya?"
She looked at Professor Mishra looking at her in concern "Pardon?"
He looked at her in concern 'Are you fine, you are looking off?"
Soumya smiled "Its nothing Professor... Its good to be back in hospital environment, a different environment but still its good to be here"
He smiled "Isn't it? But its only three months for you, unlike others who take years of time to be back here after their completion of MBBS"
She grinned "Thats god's mercy on me"
Mishra laughed "Its okay to brag atleast a little bit when one achieved as much as you have Soumya, getting PG in first attempt is not a little thing, not even mentioned about your research papers which are famous through out the country"
Soumya blushed a bit "I just did what I wanted to do Professor. There are many more people who achieved a lot than me. "
Mishra gave her a gentle look " I always like your this modesty. Anyway we need to proceed, I need to show you around and introduce you to your team which comprises of two other PG's , seniors of course. " After that they completed their tour silently and as they proceeded once more towards the department she can't help but get excited ,
Her team as in sense the people she will be spending with rest of year, how they will be? Can they accept her truly? Amongst her thoughts they reached the department and Professor Mishra went into a room which she too followed. She was surprised however by Mishra's attitude which became stern and serious all of a sudden while he was joking and smiling with her just a few moments ago. Pushing aside her thoughts she tried to hear what he was saying "So guys this is Soumya Verma, new PG student of this department and I am placing her with you guys. I don't want you to rag her at all, help her learn some thing."
Then she heard the voice saying "But Professor, last one left with in one day, will she atleast last one day sir?"
Mishra leveled another glare at the guy who spoke "Ofcourse Mohith I am sure she will. Any way where's Rocket?"
The guy obviously Mrunal chuckled " He went to ethics committee office sir, apparently the trouble is not yet solved and the committee is playing games, not giving approval, stating animal experiments are objectionable"
Soumya snorted at that, and Mishra looked back at her with amusement 'What's making you laugh?"
Soumya laughed out right "You know what I feel about this? The so called people who are supposed to give permission don't even hesitate to kill a cow and eat or slaughter them as an offering for god, but they won't let us use one pig for experiment. What an idiocy and irony and Hippocratic?"
r
Mrunal looked affronted "Professor Kapoor was toughest of all of them. He really drains our life before he accepts our projects"
Soumya shook her head and spoke "That means who ever this rocket is , he isn't good with words"
Mishra spoke " Soumya, Rocket is best, he is almost on par with you in research field. Any way do you want to give a try?"
She nodded excited, and he handled her a file "This is the project we are speaking of, I don't know what you will do, but I want it to be signed by today evening"
Soumya nodded and she went through file for a few minutes and did some corrections by herself and spoke " There's a small problem in the proposal itself, apparently you people are doing everything perfect, but when we aren't able to provide substantial proof of why we are planning to use that drug, its coming out as a doubtful experiment which we are even not sure of our selves of course ethics committee will not accept. Give a substantial reasoning and I don't see any reason why they won't accept"
Frowning Mrunal took the file from her and watching it smacked himself and spoke "She's right professor, I really feel idiotic now."
Mishra shook his head "Anyway, get on guyz, Mrunal call Rocket and ask him to come back immediately, and Soumya I trust you to do the necessary editing in the proposal file"
Soumya nodded to him and as he left, Mrunal looked at her "So Junior,how can you recognize it, I mean Rocket is best among us and he didn't even catch it, and you are a new comer"
Soumya shrugged " Experience I guess, Any way I need to do the corrections, will catch with you later. Can you show me my room?"
Mrunal taken aback by her abruptness vaguely pointed out towards a room "You are going to share it with Rocket, I already have Dhruv who is my partner"
Soumya nodded and left to the room which was supposed to be her work cabin, as she entered into the room she can't help but think room is chaotic, but its upto her tastes. There's a small rose plant at one end of room and there are no drapes on window instead its wide open, and there are various posters of nature on the walls of one side and war soldiers, Naruto and anime on other side. On the wall beside the door and behind the desk there are various work sheets and what not relating to their research work , and on a desk lining the wall there are many trophies and the medals which she deduced to be belonging to that senior guy working with her. Finding it interesting, she looked around on table for his picture or any name ,finding none she sat across the desk and started to edit through the file in her laptop.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She heard some shouting outside, as she is taking a print of the edited work and then heard the door bang open and a loud voice of "What the hell are you doing here?" ,the voice sounded familiar and made her tense a bit , that voice belongs to only one person , its the voice she always loved she turned back and saw that very person standing beside the door with a shocked face looking at her "Soumya?" on his lips. She wanted to buckle down that very minute, she wanted to hug him and tell him that she missed him a lot, but she can't say none of that. Resolving to her self, and trying to slow down her heart beat, fearing her voice may sound broken ,she went to him and handling the papers to him "Professor Mishra asked me to give them to you, You can cross check them and submit them Sir. This is Soumya Verma ,new PG"
He gave a look to her which she wanted to smile to, but still kept her face blank, he spoke finally "Harman Anukar Singh senior PG"
She nodded to him and looked at Mrunal who stood beside him "I am going to Professor Mishra's office. " saying that she left from there and as soon as she went out of the rooms she went into nearest empty room and locked it started to cry
' Why should he re enter my life again, its three years but still he makes me undone why? Why the hell can't I just get over him and done with it. Why can't I forget him? Why does he enter my life again and again?'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At same time Harman is looking through the door she left in shock,
she acted as if she didn't even recognize him, how the hell can she not recognize him? Its only three years but still she forgot him, was all her exclamations of love false? Why the hell did she entered his life? he came out of his thoughts to hear a buzzing sound and looked over his desk to see a mobile which is certainly not his. "It might be that girl's" he took the mobile and when he looked at caller id almost dropped mobile , only thought running through his head was
'She was in contact with Karan? How the hell can she? Her first crush? ' He looked at Mrunal who is looking at him in concern "What are you looking at?"
Mrunal gave him a searching look 'Bro , what happened? Why you are this much angry. I know you don't like sharing your space, but this much?"
Harman glared at him " I don't want her in my office , who assigned her in our team?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soumya slowly reached Professor Mishra's Cabin and knocked the door hesitantly, hearing a come in she went in and he is shuffling around some papers on his desk and not even looking at her spoke "You should know by now that , you need not knock"
Soumya gave him a small smile "I am your student now, I should knock, am supposed to follow my manners uncle."
Mishra looked at her with the familiar word and found her face dull, concerned for her he came near her "What happened ?"
Soumya looked at him " I want to change teams Uncle , Please permit me into other team"
Mishra sighed "Did Rocket said any thing to you"
Soumya shook her head , "Mrunal?" she again shook her head, "Why?" she didn't speak just hung her head down. "Personal issues?" Soumya nodded. He made her sit on a coach and sat beside her , "You know what Soumya, I don't know what's your this so called personal issue is, but let me tell you few words. I know you from childhood, I am a family friend, but I always liked you and admired you because you over came many hurdles many people can't despite having double your age. Yet you are always modest, even after you fail you are confident of your self that you can raise again. I never find you this depressed, and I can't confidently say that its simple. But I can say this thing that , what ever it is it will be definitely simpler than some things you faced in your life. I placed you in that team because they are best, and you are on par with them, I want you to learn some thing new, which you can if you are there. Mrunal is a knowledge bank and Harman his logical thinking is on par with you, but you exceed him in speed. You will be a perfect match in that team. "
Soumya felt ashamed , but she can't go into depression again "Uncle I agree with all that you said me, but I can't be in that team. Please"
Mishra sighed "Is it some thing to do with Harman?"
Soumya spoke "Uncle, you told me you like me because I overcame some hurdles , but I did with help of one person. That person is my biggest strength and is my biggest weakness. I fear I will get destroyed by him. I don't want to become the one who doubts herself again"
Mishra was about to speak when there's a knock at the door and Soumya blanked her expression and Mishra spoke a come in, Harman entered in and gave a look at Soumya, which she didn't even react to, he stretched his hand holding a phone "Is this yours Ms.Verma" Soumya nodded to him calmly and took her phone as he remarked "Some one is calling repeatedly" ,Soumya looked at him inquiring when the phone buzzed again and almost cursed her self seeing the caller id, she gave a discreet look at Harman only to be met with an intense gaze, and dropped her eyes again. Mishra all the while observing the interaction spoke " You came here to handle this phone?"
Harman handed him the file " Ethics committee approved our project. " Mishra looked through file and gave a satisfied sigh , Harman continued again " And I have a small request" Feeling two questioning gazes on him he spoke " I want to spend this afternoon off" Mishra raised his eye brow " Professor , I think you wouldn't blame me if I wish to spend some quality time with my girl friend" ,Soumya can feel his eyes on her as he spoke this and kept her face blank and as Mishra gave his acceptance, Soumya spoke "Professor, I too will take the leave, Karan said he's waiting for me down. I was told its a half day duty only today" Mishra smiled at her and nodded. Soumya smiled and took her leave at same time as Harman. As they moved along the corridor Harman asked her " So you know Prof.Mishra personally?"
Soumya looked at him incredulously "Excuse me sir?"
Harman looked back at her with same expression " Sir? Mr.Singh? What the hell happened to you? and How the hell can you be in contact with that douche bag, and you tell me he is waiting for you downstairs. Did you forget how he made you cry at that time?"
Soumya looked at him seriously " I would really appreciate it, if you stay as the senior you are supposed to be sir, my personal life is to be concerned by my family,my friends and my well wishers, and am sad to say this but you are none of them.Anyway to answer a question, he made me cry , I agree but he never broke my heart, nor did he destroyed me . He is not you Harman" saying that she turned and left briskly leaving him stand there in shock.
