Chapter 6

Vikram's POV After the rounds, I went to another department and when I was coming back, I saw Sandhya talking to that little boy. She served him something. He looked pleased to see that colourful dish. She smiled and said, " You will have to eat all the veggies with idli. You can't just eat idli and leave the vegetables. " He nodded. He ate a spoonful of it and his face lit up. He smiled and said, " Wow this is amazing. " She smiled and said, " Now promise me you will eat whatever is offered to you..... As you are not well and are about to get operated so you need to eat a certain kind of diet. After you are recovered I will get you something nice to eat. I promise. But for now, you will have to follow the diet." He nodded and thanked her for the food. She said bye to him and turned to go when she bumped into me. She looked scared. Good. " Miss Sandhya, please follow me." " Yes sir. " She followed me to my cabin. " So what is the explanation for what you just did? " " Sir, I just gave that young child something he would have loved to eat. He hated that food which was served to him.... and he asked me to taste it. I tasted it, was tasteless and I just give that child something he could eat. I made him eat whatever was given to him too...... and he promised me that he would eat everything which would be served. I just wanted to cheer up that child.... because he was really scared about the surgery he is going to have. What is wrong with that? I just wanted him to be happy and whatever I served him was healthy. I know my job, sir... I don't know what you think about me, but I know my job very well sir. " Hmmmmm so she is daring... " Let me be a judge for that. Serve that thing to me. I want to see if it is really healthy. " She looked somewhat reluctant to let me taste it. " It is healthy sir, It is just plain idli stir-fried with a minimal amount of fats in it with lots of veggies. " She said. " So, why are you scared of me tasting it? " I challenged her. " Oh, I am not scared of you I am very sure the food is very healthy... " She served a spoonful of idli to me. I just loved it. " Well, Ms Sandhya. This was your first mistake, so I am just giving you a warning. Just don't do it again." She just nodded. I finished what was served on the plate. Doctor Chirag was finding the situation very funny and he could not contain his laughter and I glared at him. They all went to have lunch. After some time, I went to that ward as my interns were making their rounds. I saw that the little boy hugged and thanked her for a little change in his food. She hugged him back. The boy was telling some stories to her and she was laughing like a child. Beautiful !! She turned and saw me and all of a sudden her smile vanished and she left the ward. I finished my round. I did the rest of my work. I came out of the hospital to go home and I saw her standing with the same guy who was in the cafeteria yesterday with her. He was holding her hand and saying something. She patted his hand and smiled at him. Then they got into the car and he drove away. I also slipped into my car and started driving, but I didn't want to go to my empty home. so I went to Gautam's place. I wanted someone with whom I could talk to. Gautam reminded that we had to go for Sagar's birthday. That's good as I was getting bored. We both went to his birthday party. It was an enjoyable party. Mehul and Rahul were there with their wives. They seemed to be so happy and possessive over them. It was very funny to see how they were glaring at every man who was looking in their wives' direction. There were so many beautiful girls, but they seemed to have eyes only for their partners. I teased them and they said that I would behave in exactly that way when I would have someone special in my life. I don't think I would ever behave like that. I have never bothered about being alone. I choose this situation. I left my house and my parents to avoid something or someone to be precise. I enjoyed with my four friends. Gautam, Sagar, Rahul and Mehul. We all studied in the same school in Dehradun. Then we went our separate ways to do our higher studies. Rahul is in the clothing and textile business. He manufactures clothes and Indian ethnic wear and Markets them in India as well as overseas. Mehul's father is a diamond merchant. He is helping in his family business. Sagar is a businessman and his family are in Real estate business but Sagar and his brother have started a new construction company. Gautam is a doctor like me. He is my best friend among all. Rahul and Mehul got married. They didn't get married by their own choice. They were forced to marry the girls of their parents' choice, but they are very happy now. They both are crazy about their wives. I saw them getting paranoid about losing them. They have become over-possessive fools. But it seems they are madly in love with them. I can't spend life with some stupid girl. I wanted a perfect bride. Who has to be beautiful, attractive, well educated, independent, witty, intelligent, a bit aggressive yet kind and caring. Well, a long list of qualities... I know, but I wanted a perfect bride if I ever settle down. I want someone in my life too. Someone perfect. Picture Perfect. My mind wandered to Sandhya again. She is very beautiful, kind, smart, intelligent, caring and sweet. Yeah, with everyone... but with me... Why ? What have I done??
