“This…” pulkit placed the watch in front ofrohit. Rohit couldn’t have been more thankful , after waiting for a long spell, and being welcomed by a weird news article this morning he had finally madeit to what he had come for –Seeing his watch. He was a bit feverish , but thatwould do . The rastogi’s have been kind enough to serve him some lime water ,and have offered a quick breakfast too.
before he could check for the serial number , pulkit had something to confess.“Dr. Sippy ….. before you check all this , I just want to say that this thingwas gifted to sonakshi Di – by her costar. He is a moron . This gift was a makeup for the misbehavior , he is prone to committing . The fact is I don’t reallyknow if this is your watch or not , and so does my di , she is not at fault .If this is your watch , then you can take it – I am sure Di will understandtoo.” Pulkit left immediately , making an excuse , as rohit sat completelysmitten with his words. He has been thinking quiet low of this family . It wasrude of him , to directly say that it was his watch . What he is doing now , hecould have done without making a big fuss about it . “ sorry, sonakshi..” hemumbled under his breathe , he did really mean it.
“Dr. Surgeon ….” Came sonakshi’s chirpy voice from the other end of the room.She has herself made the breakfast – specially for rohit . She has been reallyupset – she has made him wait all night, and now he was ill just because of her . As a doctor , he has the responsibilities- to save lives – and in all this banter – she has completely forgotten torespect him . She has been playing “tit for tat” all this while. But enough isenough – when she can let go of big things in life – then there is no point inkeeping this bitterness with Mr. Rohit sippy.
“Dr. Sippy….i am so sorry for last night….i shouldn’t have done all this , Idon’t know what happens to me the moment I meet you , I start behaving likekids ..” sonakshi paused a little , expecting another taunt from the surgeon ,but was surprised on his calmness. Has his fever gone to his head…she thought ,but brushed it away immediately. “And about the article- I have already clarified, that it was my fault too. We are actors , constantly in media eye . they makesome good and some bad , some true and some false stories about us . That’s abit normal , but I can surely understand….” Before sonakshi could completerohit spoke up “ You speak a lot….”Rohit chuckled a bit . “ I think I have been at fault too… I guess, I took yourprofession in a very bad light , I constantly complained about it – I still do-but yeah whatever….” He backed off looking here and there , as sonakshi pressedon his words “whatever , what?” she asked. “ I am sorry tooo….” He said ,immediately going all quiet for the words to sink in .
“Anda Bhurji …?” she diverted the topic , smiling a bit . He nodded as she served him. “Pulkittold me about the watch….” Sonakshi said . Rohit was about to point out that it was his old one ….but before he did it sonakshi announced “ take it… I know its yours …., you might have checked the serial number right ? last night I checked that it didn’t look that new , it had scratches….Sumit , my co star , his is not good at all , you had come to our set , that day , in your track suit ,maybe you lost it then….” She said , and he heard. Rohit was perplexed , he had nothing left to say more. What was he supposed to say …, thank you ? . But he wanted to say much more than this . “ Sonakshi , thank you ….this was my favourite watch…” he said looking down.. “mom’s gift ?” she enquired , on which he answered a no. and then she hooted a bit “OOohhhh, girlfriend’s gift ?” she asked , and rohit didn’t speak much..
