Chapter 18

Sandhya's POV "It seems that you don't want to be friends with me, but I want you as my friend and I will earn your friendship." He lifted my hand and placed a light kiss on it. I felt some kind of spark that flowing in my body. My face started getting warm. Why was I reacting to his touch? I didn't want to feel anything regarding him. Just then the door opened and Ajay came in. " Good morning sir, Good morning Sandhya. " Thank God he came. The situation was a bit awkward, but now it is ok. " Good morning Ajay. " I said to him while Dr Rathore just nodded looking at me. " So Ajay and Sandhya, we are going to our camp in the nearby village tomorrow. By the way, where is Chirag? Ajay, today both you and Chirag will go and set up the camp there in the village and tell people about the camp. You can take nurses, ward boys, medicines and all the necessary things you would want for camp. Sandhya and I will join you in the morning tomorrow and we will have the camp for two days. We all will be there for two days, so tell your families. Every department will go to one village and have a camp there. So collect everything you want. You will be given accommodation for the night. So make preparations and go. " He told us. We were surprised by this sudden program. Chirag came and they both started collecting everything they wanted. I also excused myself and helped them in making lists of the things they will be taking. Medicines, ECG machine etc. They would have to go there from today itself so they need to go and get their clothes too. and they were just leaving when I asked them to eat food or take the paranthas with them, but they said, they were going home first so will eat at home. I said bye to them. I took my rounds and another senior doctor was coming towards me. I greeted him and he smiled at me. " Oh hello, Ms Sandhya, You are a dietician. Right? " He was shaking hands with me. " Yes sir " " I needed your help. Can I ask for it?" he asked me very politely. " Sure sir " I smiled. " Actually my sister has gained a bit of weight, so can you help me by giving a diet chart for shedding weight? You see she has tried almost everything, she is a bit depressed nowadays. " He looked very concerned for her sister. Well, that's how all elder brothers behave, I guess. Just then I heard the familiar strong masculine voice behind my back. " Well, she is here to assist me and not you, Dr Puneet Sharma. Go and ask help from someone else and please maintain the decorum. " I turned to see that Dr Rathore was glaring at him and looked at our hands as he was still holding my hand. Dr Puneet Sharma left my hand immediately and said, "Well Dr Vikram Singh Rathore, I am aware of the fact that she is here to assist you and not me, I just wanted her help for my family member. I hope that is not a big issue, so can you help Ms Sandhya? I mean if you can take out about half an hour? " " Of course sir, I will make one for her. Please write her details like height, weight, age, food preferences, allergies... If any and give it to me. " " Thanks a lot, you are so sweet... " I just smiled at him. He left and I saw that Dr Rathore was still glaring at him. What is wrong with him? " If you are done with your social obligations, can we get back to our work? " He seemed to be very irritated. So rude. " Yes sir " I followed him to the ward and he looked angry. But why? What did I do? I saw Dr Gautam coming towards us. He smiled at us but Dr Devil was still off colour. He looked at me with questions in his eyes. I just shrugged my shoulders. " Hi, Vikram, What's up man? C'mon yaar I am very hungry, Let's go and have lunch. " Dr Gautam said. " I am not hungry. " " But why, it is already lunchtime? " " I said, I am not hungry. " He said as if he was agitated. " Ok, if you are not hungry, I will eat with her. Come Sandhya, let's have some lunch. By the way, what did you get for the lunch today? " He asked me. I smiled and said, " Well I got aaloo paratha and a bean salad. " " Wow !! my mouth is watering, please go and get it I am waiting in the cafeteria. I really want to have it. " I just nodded and went to get my lunch. Vikram's POV Why is she friendly with everyone? I want her to be my friend. That Puneet was just trying to find a way to talk to her. He does not even have a sister. Scoundrel... Why does she have to oblige everyone?? Gautam was coming towards us but I was already upset. He wanted to have lunch, but when I refused as I was as angry, he asked Sandhya. Why does he want to have lunch with her?? I am going to kill this man now. When he has his own girlfriend why does he want to have lunch with mine?? I mean why is he talking to Sandhya? He told Sandhya to bring her lunch box because he wants to have lunch with her, I would not let him have lunch with her alone, I will also go with them. " So, you are having lunch with me and Sandhya or you want to keep on sulking? What is your problem? Why are you behaving like that? " He asked me. " That Puneet was trying to be very friendly with her, I even stopped her from helping him but she has to oblige everyone. She doesn't ever listen to me. She doesn't even know, that the sister for which she is supposed to make the diet chart, does not even exist. I am getting annoyed and why do you want to have lunch with her? Go and have lunch with your girlfriend Maurvi. She is so sweet... " I was saying and he was smiling. " So you want to say, that Sandhya is not sweet? " He said smirking at me. I want to punch him right now. " Ughh... I am just saying that go and have lunch with your girlfriend. " " But I want to have lunch with your girlfriend... " He said and then burst out laughing. He knew that I liked the way he called Sandhya as my girlfriend. I tried to hide my smile but he saw it. " You stupid I was having lunch with both of you, because she won't have lunch with you alone, but she won't be able to say no to me. That's why I invited her for lunch. Now stop sulking and come with me, idiot. " Aww That is why he is my best friend. I smiled at him and he just shook his head. Sandhya came with a big tiffin box. Some times I feel that she is running a tiffin service. She is offering food to everyone. Well except me...
