Riya's POV" What? Why were you crying? Why didn't you tell me?" Dr Vidyut came and held my hand." Why should she tell you?? " Dr Parth pulled my hand out of his and came to stand between both of us." Please, stop it. Dr Vidyut, please leave. I am fine, Dr Parth helped me. Please don't worry. " I said." Is anyone bothering you?? Please tell me, Riya... We are friends, you can tell me. " Dr Vidyut said." Thanks, but everything is solved. " Dr Parth said." I am not talking to you, Dr Parth. Stay out of this! " Vidyut said." The break is over, Dr Vidyut. Go and do your work. " Dr Parth glared at him." As if you were doing your work. Two minutes are left for the break to be over. I need to talk to my friend, Riya. If you don't mind, can you please leave us alone? "" Don't forget, you are standing in my department. You need to leave us alone. " Dr Parth said." Dr Vidyut, I am fine. I had a problem, but now everything is sorted out. He is my friend, mentor and neighbour. So p
Riya's POV" Well, it had got nothing to do with you. I don't understand, why are you so bothered? " I said and he was annoyed at what I said." It has everything to do with me if I am the one, who has to come to rescue you from something or someone you can't handle. " He said sarcastically." Please don't bother to come and rescue me. I will handle my issues on my own. " I said as I was hurt by the way he shouted at me and ignored me in hospital." Are you sure? You need me to protect you, Riya." He said raising his eyebrow and was losing patience.What does he think of himself?" No!! I don't need you. " I said." Are you sure you're not going to need me?? Hell... you are not even capable of judging for yourself who you should be friends with and who you should not? " He said." Don't worry... I will learn with time, everybody does that. " I retorted." Fine!! So, next time you are in trouble and call for me, I should leave you to get on with it by yourself, isn't it? " He said
Parth's POVI came back outside and joined the celebration and ceremonies. But kept thinking about her only.I was supposed to stay at Sid's place but I could not. I needed to apologise to her till she could trust me again. But Sid was really upset as Shruti was not coming. So I had to stay with him.I had taken a leave from the hospital as I had to be present in all the ceremonies. It was better to stay away from her for the time being as she was angry and hurt. I had apologized but she didn't even want to see me. So I didn't go home the entire time.The wedding was over and everyone retired to their rooms once Gautam bhai and Maurvi were welcomed into their home.Sid was very upset that Shruti didn't turn up and was not even picking up the call. But we could not do anything about it.We all were very tired, I was getting very restless, so came back to my home. Expecting that her car would be parked in my parking place. But I would not argue with her over that.But I was shocked to s
Parth's POVShe was reading a book, I closed her book and pulled her to come with me." Dr Parth, leave my hand. " She said." You better come with me, or I will pick you up and take you there, we need to talk. " I almost threatened her." There is nothing to talk about." She said. " I would decide that... Now shut up and come. " I said and took her to my room." Sir, please... "" Tell me, what is wrong all of a sudden? Are you still mad at me? " I asked." No, sir! Why would I be mad at you? " She shook her head and looked away." Then why are you not behaving normally? " I asked making her look at me." This is normal, sir. " She said." Riya, please pardon me. I was just trying to prove a point that someone might do that to you. I didn't intend to... do all that to you. I swear, I didn't intend to harm you. I am not like that... I can't even think about it. I am not that kind of a man. " I said apologizing to her." I know that very well, you don't need to explain that to me
Riya's POVIt was almost morning and I was too scared to stay alone there. so I packed a few clothes and important things that I would need and left the home to go to a temple to pray and seek some strength from Almighty God. I stayed there till it was time to go to the hospital.Dr Parth and Dr Siddhart were on leave and once my duty hours were over, I asked my friend Tanvi, if I could stay with her for at least one night or I would have to stay at the hospital only and she said she would convince her roommate. So I stayed with them last night.Tears were flowing from my eyes continuously. I washed my face and patted it dry. I could not avoid Dr Parth forever. I would have to go back to my department.Today he said too many things to me and I was already feeling many things. Why was he so concerned about me??Was I just a friend or assistant or neighbour?? Then why was he behaving like that?I know he was in love with him and was feeling alone since Dr Siddharth is with Shruti now.
Riya's POV" Have your food, then we will talk about it. " He said." Why didn't you order food for yourself? " I asked." I am not hungry... "" But you didn't even have lunch," I said." Doesn't matter! Don't pretend as if you care. You would have told me otherwise. How does it matter, if I was worried to death that a lunatic was stalking you and you were missing? " He said keeping his tone lower but I knew he was very angry." Dr Parth!! Please have food. We will talk about it later." I requested as I was concerned about him." No!! How could you do that? Just a stupid mistake from my side and you broke the special bond we shared? I apologised to you... " He was shaking his head as if he was cursing himself." I am not angry because of that. " I said immediately." You are... You have changed. After that incident. " He retorted." Please, have food! " I said shifting the plate towards him." Fine!! Don't tell me... " He got up from the table and started pacing the cafe, look
Parth's POV" I will let you pay for it if you charge for all the delicious home-cooked meals you cooked for me as well. How can I accept food prepared by you for free? Please give me a bill for next time. " I said with bitterness." Dr Parth!! What are you talking about, these are two different things. That is food and this is an expensive phone. " She said immediately." Riya, I can't get that food anywhere, even if I pay for it. So this is very expensive for me. I love to have it, makes me feel that I have a home after a long time. The choice is yours. " I said and raised an eyebrow at her." You are so stubborn! " She said and took the phone." Yes, then don't mess with me. " I said and she smiled." Yes sir! " " Now please tell me, what happened? How did your phone break?" I asked again." Please, leave all that. " She said and looked tense all of a sudden." Riya!! If you trust me please tell me. " I asked holding her hand." I broke it!! " She said finally.I was sho
Riya's POV" Dad, mom... It's not how you think it is... I... I can explain. " I said but didn't know what to say." We were working on a seminar in which we have to participate together and got very tired while working on it and once we had food, we might have slept as we were tired. Isn't it sir?? " I blurted out whatever came into my mind." Oh, y..yeah. " He said." What do you do?? Oh yes, you are a doctor. You seemed to be older?? " My dad was trying to assess him." Yes, sir I am a Pathologist, her senior. Riya is my assistant and I live next door to her./ " He said." You live here, in these apartments? " my dad asked." Yes, sir!! " He said." What do your parents do?? " My dad asked him. Dr Parth looked at me and I felt bad for him.But he took a deep breath and said, " Sir, my parents are no more, they died in an accident. "" Oh, ok! I am sorry. But that means you are on your own?" My dad asked." Yes, sir!! " He nodded." Now tell me honestly, what was happening here?
