Chapter 3

Author's POV



A middle aged beautiful woman entered in the bedroom .

She went near the bed to wake up her daughter who had wrapped herself with a blanket.

"Beta....get up. You are late for your clinic. Come on get up." she said.

But her daughter is still asleep .

She went near her and removed the blanket from her face.

And....

"Boooooo" the girl shouted, making her mother scream.

Then the girl burst out laughing. She laughed like no tomorrow.

"You...you stupid girl....pagal ladki, aise koi karta hai bhala?(Mad girl,should anyone do something like this?)You will give me a heart attack. " her mother said.

"Come on Mom, it was nothing scary...but ...but ...your expression...." She couldn't complete her sentence as another fit of laughter attacked her.

Her mother also joined it, finding the whole thing funny.

"Now go..take a bath and come for breakfast quickly." Her mother said kissing her cheeks and left.

Her phone rang and she received it.

"Hello ...Good morning Dr. Dhruti. I am Anisha." Said the female voice.

"Yes..Good morning. " Dhruti said smiling.

"Actually I called you to remind you that you have three patients to check today and another two for counseling. " Anisha said.

"Yes, I remembered. Thank you for reminding me. I will be coming at sharp 9 ." Dhruti said.

"Okay...bye." saying this Anisha cut the call.

Dhruti Khanna, the daughter of Digvijay and Tripti Khanna is a psychiatrist by profession. She works in Apollo Hospital. Her father is a CA. Her mother is a housewife. The bubbly, chirpy girl is very much straightforward and has the guts to open her mouth in every situation.

After taking a bath she came out getting ready in red kurti and black leggings paired with a stole. She tied her hair in a braid.



Dhruti's look..

She picked up her bag and laptop and went towards the dining for breakfast.

"Good morning Pa" Dhruti wished her father .

"Good morning . So how is work going?" Digvijay asked her.

" Perfect. " Dhruti replied.

"Okay... now bye...I have a meeting to attend today. So bye...Sham ko milte hai.(let's meet in the evening. ) " Digvijay said and left .

"Mom I am going. I will come back at 2 pm. Then we will have our lunch." Dhruti said and kissed her mother.

She picked up her car keys and left towards the hospital. 

Dhruv's POV

I completed my meeting.

It is 12pm now. The meeting took time... more than expected .

As I promised Maa..I texted Shaurya so that they come and we can have lunch together.

They came at 1:30 pm and I took them to the VIP section for lunch.

We had our lunch with Shaurya's jokes and Maa's plenty of chitchat and all food was Maa's favourite.

After Lunch we went for a Movie at 3pm.There we laughed a lot as Maa wasn't stopping from giving comments whenever something unexpected was happening in the film.

At 6 pm the movie finished.

"So....how's the movie?" I asked Maa.

"That was great ..I really enjoyed it." Maa said with a childlike glee.

"The day was awesome....after so many days I enjoyed a lot." Shaurya said.

"Yes...the day was bliss. We should do it more often" Maa said smiling.

"Ofcourse we will." I said and side hugged her.

I can do anything to see the beautiful smile of my Maa.

We reached near the parking lot . Suddenly my phone started to ring.

I checked the caller id.

"Hello," I said, receiving the phone .

The speaker started to speak. Listening to it ,I got confused and frowned.

Saying 'okay' I cut the call.

"What happened beta?" Maa asked.

"Actually...I have to go....it's urgent. You guys go home. I am coming within an hour. ." I said.

"Okay...go...Shaurya ,come with me...you will have your dinner then you will go to your home." Maa said.

"But Maa..."

"I don't want to hear anything. I know your Papa isn't here. He called me yesterday so I know his whole plan. So ,don't need to say anything ." Maa said sternly.

"Okay....as you wish Maa. " Shaurya said smiling.

They left for home and drove towards my destination. 

Dhruti's POV

Ahh!! Finally I completed my schedule today.

I rang my intercom and asked Anisha if anyone left for checkup.

She said no and I packed up my things and left for home.

I went home .

After freshening up and changing into something comfortable, I had lunch with my Mom.

After lunch I went to my bedroom and slept.

Yes, I can sleep anywhere anytime.

Ringing of my phone disturbed me.

I groaned and picked up the call.

As soon as I picked up someone started to yell ,"Kaha mar gayi tu ? (Where did you die?) I am calling you for an hour but you are not picking up my calls. Beheri hain kya!!!(Are you deaf?) "

I sat up straight and spoke," Listen Juhi ,Don't shout okay!! I was sleeping. "

"Yaar kitna soti hai tu? Itna neend aata Kahan se hai teri?(Yaar,how much can you sleep? From where do you get this much Slumber?)" Juhi asked.

"I have to deal with you, that's why I sleep this much. Now tell me why did you call?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

"Yes yes..I know. Anyways I want to meet you. Come to CCD near your clinic. Paridhi and Devika are also coming. " Juhi said.

"Okay....I will be there . Bye" I said and hung up.

Juhi is my childhood friend. We are besties. We were always in the same school. In Fact we were in the same sections as well. When we were in class 9 then we became friends with Paridhi and Devika . Time passed and We became best friends.

In our group , Devika is the most stylish and straightforward ,I am the prankster, my straightforwardness is a bit less than Devika's .Paridhi is the shy type and Juhi is an ideal good girl and ultimate softie .

Till class 12 we were together. But college separated us as we chose different streams. Juhi chose Arts stream, Paridhi and Devika chose BBA.

But we kept contact via phone.

I broke my thoughts and went to get ready. I put on Jeans and a top and said bye to Mom informing her about my plan.

I drove towards the CCD and reached within half an hour.

I searched and saw they were sitting there laughing .

"Hey what's up? " I said.

We were sitting like this -- me and Devika facing each other, Juhi was on my left and Paridhi on my right and Juhi and Paridhi facing each other.

"Sky is up." Devika replied and others burst out laughing including me.

"Now tell me the reason why did you call us?" Paridhi asked.

"So...the thing is ... Akash proposed to me yesterday." Juhi said blushing like a tomato.

"Congratulations!!!! I am so happy for you." I jumped from my seat and hugged her.

"Wow!! Welcome to the group buddy." Devika said, making Paridhi and Juhi laugh.

Yes, the two are in a steady relationship .

"Please guys...at least think about me ...I am single here only. 

Mujhe bhi dukh hota hai ...(I also feel sad)" saying this I wiped my fake tears.

We burst out laughing.

We were talking about our lives and teasing each other.

Suddenly Devika gasped, catching our attention.

"What happened?" Paridhi asked.

"Yaar... see the boy , kash mera koi boyfriend nahi rehta..toh main definitely ise apna boyfriend bana leti.(if I wouldn't have a boyfriend, I would definitely make this boy my boyfriend )" Devika said.

I frowned and followed Devika's gaze.

The sight made my jaw drop .
