2021-09-30 14:23:02I give Nikhil a sheepish smile, mentally kicking myself as he gives me a teasing smile.
I'm breathless when he places a kiss on my knuckles,the gesture making me swoon.
So in Sandy style,I flip my hair behind, shrug,"I know. I'm just reminding you."
Nikhil's face swirls with amusement,"You don't have to. But that's a nice remind- Ouch ",he laughs when I punch his arm.
"So?"I raise an eyebrow.
"So?",Nikhil questions back, entwining our hands,the simple act makes me blush.
I try not to show the nervousness on my face as I narrow my eyes,"You went to meet someone."

"But...but I really can't make it this weekend Ma",I cross my fingers tightly behind my back, hoping she bought my bullshit. "And why not?",I could imagine my mother scowling at the phone. "I...I have a presentation,and...and I also have a night duty." "Good. Leave on Friday evening. Your Dad will pick you when you reach." "Mom!" "Shut it Sandy. Stop lying." "How did you know?",I asked my mother curiously. "You gave me the exact same excuse the last three times",she chuckled. "But,please Ma. I'm not up for it."

I close my eyes as the plane takes off,my heart trying hard to piece together. I stare at the gentle waves crashing against the shore,not bothered that my feet and most of my pants are wet. "Hey" I turn when I hear a voice. "Hey", I'm surprised. How did he know I was here? He seemed to read the question in my mind."Anshu told me you could be here",he explained. "Oh." "Do you mind if I join you?" I shrug,which he takes as a welcome.

I was annoyed when I was continuously shook. Damn it. Let me sleep. I turn to the other side, irritated. "I am going to thrash you if my sleepiness vanishes Sne." I only hear a laugh, she now starts to tickle me. "What the fuck,woman?",I snap,getting up. She winced," Stop swearing." I roll my eyes, yawning,pulling the blanket upto my chin as I close my eyes again,"Why did you wake me up?" "I was bored",she shrugged. "You woke me up at",I glance at the clock,"6:40 i

I only stared at Nikhil,since he didn't answer me. Seeing him was disturbing.There were a lot of unwanted memories threatening to resurface. "Sand-",he started out,"Sandeepthi",he acknowledged, nodding his head. I swallow,flinching at the usage of my full name. No one called me that. I swallow the lump in my throat. How have things gotten so messy? "Should we take a seat?",he gestured to the swing in the balcony. I nod absent mindedly. I had so many questions,so much dis

"Dr. Guptha, there's an emergency. There's a patient with ruptured ectopic pregnancy. You are asked to be the performing surgeon." I swallow my sigh, looking at my junior blankly,getting ready for the OT robotically,"Send me the patient details." I stare at the familiar OT,the place bringing back memories fresh in my mind,after a meeting. There's a life depending on you,Sandy. Snap out of it. I shake my head putting my thoughts to rest,when I hear my phone ping, indicating a message. I quickly go through the patient details that my junior Seema had sent,getting ready for the OT. I was so grateful for the distraction the operation provided me, demanding my entire focus a

I wake up disoriented when I hear a noise.I realize I'm sweaty and that my hands are trembling when I look around for my beeping mobile.I irritatedly switch the alarm off.Whythe fuck do I have so many alarms at such weird times?I swipe a hand on my face, peeling my shirt away from my damp skin,my mind muddled in thoughts.Shower.I need a shower.As I head to the shower, I'm irritated that my body doesn't co-operate as I slide midway into my bean bag,tears sliding my face at an alarming rate.Just once.

Pick up,pick up,I mutter,my head swimming with possibilities as I dial Anshu's number.I am going to have a panic attack.Shit.Deep breaths Sandy."What the hell are you doing,not picking the call!",I snap at my best friend."I'm in the labour room. Wassup?""Wassup?Wassup?You stupid female.""Sandy? You okay?""No",I screech."Okay listen. Someone's calling for me. I think I need to go.""I don't

My throat felt parched,like I hadn't moistened my throat in weeks. I swallow hard,taking in his appearance in flesh.After two whole years.But as we scrutinized each other silently,I could find myself getting arrogant, inspite of my mental state being haywire."It's good to see you Sandy",Dhruv says,the statementsovoid of emotion that I flinched involuntarily."Can't say the same for you",Anshu muttered from next to me, audible enough for him to hear,but not as audible to be counted as a reply.I give an easy smile, surprising myself,"You too."I will myself to hold myself together,at least till

Nikhil's POVI'm restless as Prachi and I have our dessert.Being with another supposed-to-be a romantic female company seemedwrong. Even though it was just a lunch,it somehow felt like I am cheating on Sandy, inspite of her knowing it.I grin, shaking my head as I have the last bite of dessert,my cheese cake, heart full as I recall how displeased Sandy was when she came to know I was meeting someone.It obviously means she feelssomething.I let the feeling wash over me,the girl I like likes me back, however little or lot it maybe."Uh",I hear a clearing of throat.

"You guys didn't even kiss?""No.""Not even a peck?""No.""What about—""Shut up Anshu",I hiss."Who are you texting?", Anshu peeps into my mobile,"Show me."I tilt my mobile away from her deliberately, even though I'm just texting my sister.Anshu gasps,"You guys didn't even kiss yesterday, but you'resextingalready?""Anshu!",my cheeks turn red.The loon only grins, wiggling her eyebrows dramaticall

"Are you going somewhere?""Yes",I go through my cupboard,look down at whatever I'm already wearing."Where? Withwhom?"I give Anshu a you-know-who look."Where are you going?",she repeats."Dinner."She scans my attire,"You look fine,if it's just dinner, unless you haveotherplans,you know."I try hard to keep the blush out,as I roll my eyes, underplaying it even if my heart raced for a second,"Lol.""Are you returning?"I frown,"What?"

I pull away after a few seconds, acutely aware that we're on the road,inpublic.I sniff,my eyes dry."Okay?", Nikhil questions.I nod, unable to look at him.I sigh in relief when his mobile rings.Nikhil clenches his jaw,"Excuse me",he moves a few feet away."No. I don't want to. I've already told you",I hear Nikhil's side of the conversation.I'mtotallynot eavesdropping.He just happens to be inmyhearing range.Lol. Keep

I'm not sure if I have to be amused or horrified when Nikhil looks extremely uncomfortable,having been caught."Uh...Hi",He pockets his hands, looking at me for a second,and turning his head, although a smile plays on his lips.I recall the conversation with my mother,sighing in relief when I hadn't contributed much,it was mostly my mother talking after I had explained the situation to her.I wonder how long he'd been standing there.Did he... listen to my side of the story?"Hi",I nod,forcing a smile.Apparently, Nikhil didn't have anything to say as he merely stared at me.Anxiet

Things wereextremelydifferent from what I had anticipated.The day Nikhil had accompanied me to the hospital, thirty six hours ago,claiming he had somework,but actually turned out he wanted to give me company as he stayed with me for the majority of time I'd 'hosted' Niranjan uncle and Akhil, quietly monitoring as I let radiologists do their work.My heart felt oddly hopeful when he had even dropped me back at the hostel, giving me only an extremely heated look that had me blushing when I asked him why he had accompanied me.I had thought things had magically fallen into place.I expected us to be awkward for another day or two,and then kiss,and make up,literally.

Is the pain after a break (up) and the strength of a relationship proportional?I ponder at the question, painting my toe nails,three days after Nikhil decided we need to take a... break.There's a bitter aftertaste in my mouth.I letWhatever It TakesbyImagineDragonsplay in the background, conveniently ignoring the tap on my door.I hum to the lyrics,getting up to iron my clothes for the day, ignoring the way my best friend is yelling from the other side."I'm fine. I'm alive",I yell back.There's a pause, followed by a 'Fuck You'.Good.

"It's alright",I smile at a child,about five to six years old when she apologises for bumping into me,in the corridor.I hum to myself,taking a seat."Umm.""Where are we going?"The both of them look at each other.I scroll through my mobile, looking for new places to eat at,as I continue to hum."What do you think of— What?"Anshu looks at me worriedly,and then glances at her boyfriend,to which he just nods.I roll my eyes when Anshu pokes my arm, jumping back a good two feet when I don't respond.
