Extremely sorry for the delay in updating & also this part is short because I was busy in work but promise to make the next part lengthy.
Part 4 : The Party.
Ashu is frantically searching for Nidhi in the hospital
but is unable to find her. He curses himself for shouting at her without
allowing her to say anything in her defense.
Ashu - Gosh it was so mean of me to humiliate her in
front of everyone, I wonder what she must be going through now.
Ashu asks a couple of nurses in the corridor if any of
them had seen Nidhi but they say no. He continues to search for her when he
sees her standing by the window in the common room, he slowly approaches her
from behind.
Ashu - Nidhi...
Nidhi is shocked to hear his voice & she suddenly
flips. This was the first time she was hearing him address her as Nidhi &
not as Dr.Verma. She stood by the window her back still to him.
Ashu - Nidhi.. I.. am sorry.
Nidhi doesn't respond & Ashu continues "I should not
have spoken to like that.. but when you didn't come even after half an hour
when we all were waiting for you, I got irritated & without even listening
to you I shouted at you...I should have given you a chance to speak... Pls forgive
me Nidhi... saying so he pulls her by her
shoulder & turns her to face him.
He sees her pretty face wet with tears and his heart
feels torn at this sight. He doesn't know how to react, what to say & in
the spur of the moment he cups her face, Nidhi looks at him in surprise while
Ashu slowly wipes her tears from his fingers. He continues to look into her
eyes which are red due to crying and he curses himself for being the reason for
this. He is still staring at her when he finally realizes what he has been
doing and removes his hand. Nidhi too becomes conscious of the surroundings.
Ashu gives her his handkerchief, after a moment's
hesitation she accepts it and wipes her tears & returns it back to him.
Ashu - Nidhi..
Nidhi - Its ok sir... I am alright now..
Ashu - Have you forgiven me?
Nidhi - Pls sir donot embarrass me by saying so, I can
understand that we had a guest lecture today & just becoz of me you all
were kept waiting & I should have informed you... but I was treating that old
couple & in hurry forgot to inform.
Ashu - No Nidhi... what you did was correct as a doctor
our first responsibility is towards our patient, I should have allowed you to
explain but I shouted at you in front of all.
Nidhi ... Sir you are my senior & you have the
right to scold me when I do a mistake.
Ashu looks at her with admiration. He feels she is entirely
different from all the interns he had met till now, she loves her profession
& has a lot of commitment towards it , respects her seniors & somewhere
he feels proud of her.
Ashu - Come lets go all must be waiting for us.
They both leave together for the lecture.
The day passes without any further incidents and Nidhi
reaches home by 5pm.She meets her nana at the entrance & he says
Nana - Arey Nidhi
anjali aayi hain..
Nidhi - Nanu anjali came??? Woow I will meet her &
come saying so she runs in the direction of her neighbour's house.
Anjali... Anjali... Kaha hain tu???
Anjali - Aagayi toofan mail...
Nidhi sees her & hugs her tightly.
Nidhi - Missed you a lot yaar, how was your trip.
Anjali - Trip was good but tere bina maza nahi aata hain
yaar.Aur bata how is your internship going on..
Nidhi then updates her about her first day in MCG and
what happened earlier in the day.
Anjali - This Dr. Ashutosh sounds Khadoos you better be
away from him.. I am not liking him.
Nidhi - Nahi yaar he is not khadoos & he is a very
good person otherwise why would he apologies to me.
Anjali - That's becoz he was wrong.
Nidhi - Tu tension mat le, ok I will be careful
henceforth khush?
Anjali smiles and says - See we have got an invitation
for a party, maa papa toh tired hain isliye hum dono chalenge.
Nidhi - But what party is this
Anjali - It's a charity ball & party yaar ...
Jaayenge kya
Nidhi - Haan jayenge na main tayaar hoke aati hu tu bhi
tayaar hoja na.Waise kya pehenge?
Anjali - Isme toh
likha hain ki black ya red color dress pehenna hain
Nidhi - Mere paas ek acha sa red saree hain main who
pehenu?
Anjali - Yes that should be fine & I have a black
salwar, I will wear that. I will meet you in half an hour.
Nidhi reaches home & informs her grandparents that
she is going out for a party with Anjali, her grandma is skeptical about late
evening parties but Nanu convinces her & Nidhi thanks him. She starts
getting ready for the party.
Ashu reaches his home & gets a call from Dr. Sanjay
Mehra.
Sanjay - Ashutosh where are you?
Ashu - Sanjay I just reached home.
Sanjay - Oh I was looking for you in the hospital, I
wanted to take you with me for a party.
Ashu - Arey nahi Sanjay, you know I don't attend
parties.
Sanjay - Haan yaar I know after Tanya left you have sort
of withdrawn but pls this one time come for my sake you will like it.
Ashu finally agrees to meet Sanjay at the venue.
Nidhi & Anjali dressed stunningly reach the party &
Ashu too comes wearing a black suit. Sanjay meets Ashu & thanks him for
agreeing to come at such short notice.
Ashu is feeling uncomfortable and thinks of leaving the
party soon when he happens to see a stunningly dressed women in red whose back
is towards him. He is looking at her when Nidhi slowly turns in his direction
(She is not aware of his presence in the party) and Ashu stood transfixed and
hit by her beauty.
