*Vani Pov*“Guys, why don’t we have our dinner too?” I heard Pallavi asking and glanced up to see her looking at everyone.“I don’t think it is a good idea.” Kamal said and everyone frowned at him.“Why? Your wife is also here and I am sure she would love this holiday of cooking.” Girish said frowning at him.“Say that you like this idea.” He added, staring at me with a glare.“Are you asking me or ordering me?” I asked, leaning back feeling comfortable with this conversation with him.“Take it as anything but that should make you stay.” He replied shrugging.“Now, how can I reject you?” I asked, smiling and everyone laughed, making me remember the other people around us.I glanced up to see Kamal frowning at me making me frown back. Why is he looking at me like that like I did something wrong?Is he mad that I am making his friends as mine? Does he want me to stay away? What else can be the reason for him irritated look?“It is going to be my treat by the way to celebrate Vani’s job.
*Kamal Pov*“Hello?” I mumbled in a sleepy voice lifting the call but didn’t open my eyes feeling great for some reason.“We have an emergency, Sir. And we need as much help as we can.” I heard the nurse’s voice who works with our team making me sit up.“I will be there in a few minutes.” I said, hanging up and glanced down to see an arm around me.“Vani!” I whispered, shaking her and she woke up startled before moving away from me in confusion.“There is an emergency and I need to leave for the hospital.” I said and she slowly nodded before rubbing her eyes.“I will be here later to freshen up though.” I added when she seemed to be not sleepy anymore.“Ok! I will also leave soon today then.” She mumbled, getting down from the bed and I frowned, thinking she might stay for us to have a word with each other.“Fine!” I mumbled and immediately got ready before leaving the home in a rush.“How is the patient’s condition? I didn’t get the call about the emergency.” Pallavi asked when I wal
*Vani Pov*Pallavi is a great girl like, really great girl! I winced inside remembering his words and then his confidence regarding how I would understand the situation.Does he think I am mad or what? I will not accept him leaving me and I will do anything I can.But how will I get his love through that? I thought, feeling the confidence slip up completely and all of a sudden I heard a loud shrilling sound.I turned around to see a car passing me making me stun in my steps. I glanced at my surroundings to see that I am standing somewhere in the city to which I am not familiar with.When did I reach here and how? I thought, shaking my head before moving away from the road to not get close to some vehicle hit.One second I was walking into the living room, remembering the emergency case he got in the morning and ask him about it.Then in the next second I am standing here, which proves my stupidity reaching another level.I heard a laughter and turned to see a few men walking, but a fe
*Vani Pov*“Vani!” I heard some whispering and I slowly opened my eyes to see Kamal sitting beside me with a tray.I rubbed my eyes, thinking I am dreaming, but seems like he is really there and that too holding my breakfast.“What is it?” I asked, clearing my throat and slowly sat up.“I got hungry so got up and made some breakfast for us. I am sure you are also hungry as we didn’t have any dinner yesterday.” He replied, smiling and I nodded before tugging his shirt properly and then placed the blanket over my legs.“Don’t be shy and you look good in my shirt by the way.” He said and the blush I was stopping until that second came out.“You look good without it.” I said and this time it was his time to stutter a little.“We will see about that arrangement.” He said, shaking his head and I smiled before taking a bite from the breakfast he prepared.“This is good!” I said in a surprised tone.“What did you thought? That I don’t even know how to cook some breakfast.” He asked shaking hi
*Kamal Pov*“I can’t believe that he was in danger of dying today morning. As per your phone call yesterday, he was fine.” I said sipping my coffee.“That’s what we all thought, but seems like he wants all of us on our toes. I mean, there is still danger of him dying.” Pallavi said shaking her head.“At least I hope he comes out alive.” I mumbled and sighed, remembering how hurriedly I left the home with the phone call from Pallavi.I didn’t even give much detail and that too properly. I just hope she doesn’t think badly about all this.“So, how is your life?” Pallavi asked staring at me.“I am very happy!” I replied honestly and she smiled at me.“You don’t know how glad am I to hear that.” She said, grinning at me before standing up.“Where are you going?” I asked her frowning.“I need to talk with David. I waited until now without answering him regarding his proposal.” She explained and rushed towards my room which is near to the place we have to stay for the patient.When the soun
*Pallavi Pov*“Calm down, Pallavi.” David mumbled hugging me, but I just couldn’t calm down.“It is all my fault and I should have cleared everything when I got the chance. Actually, I was about to explain to her, but you drag me away.” I said staring at him.“So, it is my fault?” he asked, raising his eyebrows and I nodded before shaking my head.“I should have known better before playing a childish game and I acted so immature.” I mumbled groaning feeling how it was like doing that at my age.“I love you and they will be fine.” He said, assuring me while I frowned.“Hello?” I said, lifting the call while glancing at the clock to see that it is early in the morning.“Pallavi, will you take care of my cases?” I heard Kamal’s voice.“Of course!” I replied immediately.“Thank you so much.” He mumbled and I immediately felt bad again.“I am really sorry, Kamal.” I mumbled shaking my head.“Just forget about it, Pallavi.” He said in an assuring tone before hanging up.“What does he want?”
*Vani Pov*“I will be fine.” I said for the millionth time, but all he did was giving me a look showing me he doesn’t believe my words.“You will run the first chance you get.” He said glaring at me.“No! I will do my work silently and will even count to ten before taking second step.” I offered but he shook his head in negative.“I should have let you go to your parent’s home at this time.” He said sighing making me glare at him.“You are the one who said that you wish to take care of me by yourself and want to stay near me.” I pointed out folding my arms.“I didn’t know that you would be this stubborn and not listen to my words at all. Ninth month is running and do you even know what that means?” he asked, raising his hands in the air showing his frustration.“I am working in a hospital and if there is an emergency then I can join immediately.” I replied pleading him.“You will run!” he mumbled, shaking his head slowly but I can see he is near to accepting my wish.“It is actually y
*Vani Pov*I woke up feeling continuous pats on my cheek and opened my eyes to find my daughter standing near the bed and is still patting my cheek to wake me up.I immediately sat up and looked around to find it is still dark and so I checked the time to find it is still two in the morning.“What is it?” I asked in a whisper to not disturb sleeping calmly beside me but he still turned over feeling disturbed.She didn’t say anything but lifted her little finger and I nodded getting down from the bed before holding her hand.When we reached the washroom which is outside the house, I stood near the door while she finished her work before we both walked into the house.I made sure to lock the door and then we both walked to Kamal’s room which is now hers room to sleep.As I made her lay down on the bed, she didn’t let go of my hand while pouting at me. I smiled at her expression and laid down beside her.“Feeling scared?” I asked adjusting her quit.She nodded snuggling into my arms whil
*Rakesh Pov*I frowned looking at the caller ID and sighed before picking it up asking, “What is it, Mom?”“Why didn’t you come home for the past one month? I know your Dad is angry at you but he still wants to see you at home.” She asked while I rubbed my forehead.“Kamal’s Mom passed away two days back and right now I am at Kamal’s village.” I replied and she paused hearing that news.“Pass my condolence to him and until when will you stay there?” She asked while I nodded at Vani who walked towards me.“I packed my things and let me know when we are leaving.” Vani said looking at me and I turned to show her my Bluetooth speaker, and her eyes widened seeing that.“I am so sorry!” she whispered and started stepping back and tried to not make any noise.I chuckled at her action saying, “Don’t worry! I will tell Kamal that you are ready to leave with us.”She nodded walking towards her house and I sighed before sitting on the cement bench outside Kamal’s house.“Who is that?” Mom asked
*David Pov*As we continued to tease Kamal, he shouted at us and it just made us laugh more. A voice joined us and I turned to see Pallavi smiling at Kamal while asking him why is he shouting at Girish while my smile slipped.She is the girl I have liked for so many months already but her eyes always search for Kamal and stay on him without any change no matter how he treats her as just a normal friend.“Ask them, Pallavi.” Kamal replied, and trying to calm himself down.“It is just that we ordered this specially today for a special reason.” I said when she suddenly looked at me and realized I didn’t tell her properly at all.“Today, his fiancé had the same breakfast as per his mom.” Rakesh explained bluntly.“So, today was the day of the week when your mom calls you and gives you live feed of that’s girl’s life?” Pallavi asked chuckling.“You too, Pallavi?” Kamal asked her still with a normal expression.“Come on! It is fun to talk about it. It is not like you are going to marry her.
*Girish Pov*“Why are you both walking so slowly?” I asked frowning at the two interns following me and they didn’t even stand properly to answer me.“Shall I start a quiz as you both seem to be bored with the rounds?” my words immediately made them stand straight.“No need to do that, Dr. Girish. We are completely fine but we are just worried that you still didn’t have lunch yet.” One of them said smiling at me and immediately gestured behind me.“Talking about lunch, we are actually close to the canteen. Why don’t you get some energy by having something to eat, Dr. Girish?” she continued while the other intern nodded with a polite smile.“You both dare to act before me. Let me start the quiz then.” Saying that I turned around to continue to walk passing the canteen only to stop suddenly which made the two people behind me nearly hit my back with their bodies but they stopped themselves.“What happened, Dr. Girish? Suddenly starting to feel hungry after seeing the canteen?” I turned
*Girish Pov*After giving me that nod, she got onto the bus and I continued to stand there to wait until the bus leaves the bus stand.However, I didn’t expect her to stare at me without looking away even after the bus started moving.“All the best!” I shouted and she just smiled at me while I bus drove away.“Damn!” I mumbled to myself feeling surprised to get attracted to someone like this.I need to get to know her better and get her to know me better. With that thought, I took an auto to return to the hospital and found that they are deciding to get Aunty discharged.I froze realizing what this means as the doctor allows a critically ill patient only when… I shook my head and reached over Vani who glanced at me with a confused expression.“She got into the bus and I waited until it drove away.” I explained and her confused expression relaxed after hearing that.“Thank you so much!” she whispered and I shook my head before walking towards my friends as they are discussing on going
*Rupa Pov*I sat on the ground feeling panic after the way I wrote the paper. It was so tough and I tried my best to write each and every answer but I still missed a few.What should I do now? How can I achieve anything if I don’t get good marks? What if I had to stay in this village and get married to the person my parents bring because of having no option to leave this village and get an opportunity to change my life.“Why are you grinning so much today while we all are in grief regarding today’s tough paper?” I heard someone saying and I felt relieved thinking maybe if everyone didn’t write it properly then it could be fine.I continued to hear a conversation but my mind is on a run thinking maybe it will be fine and I need not feel low.But those thoughts got cut off when I realized no one in the city will ask me whether the paper is tough or how much everyone else scored. I need to fight more already because of coming from a village and now with these poor marks my chances will g
*Kamal Pov*“You both get out of the house right now.” That’s what we heard when we reached the already opened door of a house belonging to Vani’s cousin.I glanced at Vani with a questioning look and she just chuckled before gesturing me to enter the house as it’s the most common thing to hear that.“Did we come at the wrong time?” I whispered not wishing to enter a house where an internal fight is going on.“Don’t worry! Let’s go inside and save two people.” Saying that she dragged me inside and held Sharu’s hand with her other hand.When we entered the house, I found two people sitting on the couch in silence and we can hear sounds from the kitchen.“Didn’t I ask both of you to leave the house?” I glanced up to find a woman walking out of the kitchen and glaring at the couch.“Satvi! We both really wanted to help you both but he kept on changing the menu to his wife’s taste and I want to add your favorites and in the end, we prepared all those ingredients.” Rohan pointed out and I
