She is shocked listening it.

Preetha: Sir ki girfriend? mujhe nahi patha(sad) meri dil aisa kyyun dhadak raha hai?

In her thoughts,she saw the door opening and a lady came with goggles.

Lady(without looking at preetha): Hey....hello sweet heart.

Preetha stands up and lady looks at her.

Preetha(mind): yeh sir ki girlfriend hai?maybe unki poti hogi

Anitha: hey thum kaun ho? yaha kya kar rahi ho?where is my boyfriend?

Preetha is relieved and then smiles to herself.

Anitha: thum kyun has rahi ho?

Preetha: Sorry mam, Karan sir london mein hain.Mein Preetha hu unki replacement.

Anitha(huff): Ohhh no.....mein sirf karan se hi baath karthi hu.mujhe bina kahe chale gayi woh.....(keeps an angry face)

Preetha just smiles weirdly seeing her attitude.

Suddenly,she feels dizzy preetha sees it and runs to hold her.

Preetha: mam....mam....oh no behosh hogayi yeh.Vamsi....vamsi

She calls him for help.Vamsi comes and helps her in laying her on bed.Preetha then treats her.In 15 minutes,she gains consciousness.she sees vamsi there.He helps her to sit.

Anitha: V....vamsi.mujhe kya hogaya? mai yaha kaise aayi?

Vamsi: mam aap behosh hogayi.Dr.preetha ne aapko treat kiya.

Anitha: kyaa? Preetha?

Vamsi: Aap milethe naa thodi der pehle iss room mein

She sees preetha entering the room through mirror.

Anitha(remembers preetha): haaa  vo.....vo ladki mujhe kaise treat karegi? Student lag rahi hai. Unexperienced hai vo.......agar usne meri upar experiments kardi tho? 

Vamsi: mam vo bahut achi doctor hai.ek baar try karlo

Anitha: chup karo thum,thum mujhe kyun nai patayaki karan nahi hai yaha?(angrily showing hand) aur yeh bahot dard ho raha hai,kya kardi ye ladki nee bilkul akal nahi hai!!!(she huffs)

Preetha listens all of this and feels bad but composes herself and enters the room.

Preetha(with smile):  Kaise hai mam aap?

Anitha: aao aao mein thumhari hi wait kar rahi hu.Kya doctor ho thum?(preetha feels bad)mujhe bahut dard ho raha hai yaha

Preetha sees that she is pressing the cannula unknowingly that's why she is feeling pain.She goes to her and corrects the hand position.

Preetha: ab tho dard nahi hoga

Anitha checks it and feels no pain.She smiles silently.

Anitha: acha theekey.agli baar dhyan rakhna.mein chalthi hu

Preetha: nai nai aap thodi der rehna hai.Kuch medicins leni hai aapko.Vamsi jaao ye prescription lao(he goes)

Anitha: arey hello wait kya prescription hai? kya medicines leni hai mujhe? I dont want you treat me okay?

Preetha: ye zaroori hai mam you have to

Anitha(getting down): Stop I know what is important.thumhara kaam rakho okay.

Preetha(sternly): Sorry mam I cant let you go.yeh bahot zaruri hai agar yeh medicines nai liya tho aapko bahot pain hoga.Its better if you cooperate with me. 

Anitha is stunned by her sternness.She became silent and preetha is seeing the reports.Medicines are brought and preetha is checking mdicines.All the while she is just observing her.

Anitha: Kaisi ladki hai yeh?kisi ne mujhe aaj tak bath aisa nahi kiya ye tho hukum chala diya mere upar?(angryly she sees preetha smiling with vamsi) But aise situations mein bhi vo apni muskurahat nahi kho rahi hai.Kitni burayi ki meine par iss par koyi asar hi nahi hai.Baath hai isme dekhna padegaa(she smiles to herself but composes)

Preetha does the injections and she is in her thoughts.

Preetha: hogayi ab aap ja sakthe ho

Anitha: kyaa? injection kardi? mujhe dard hi nahi mila.Kaise kardi?

Preetha (just smiles): Mam ham doctors hain.Patients ki dard kam karne ki koshish karthe hai dene ki nai

Anitha(impressed): hmm ek tho karan hai treatment aur baaath bahut karthe hain.But injection dene nahi aatha bilkul useless hai woh

Preetha: Mam ham bahut mehnath karke yaha tak aathe hein,aasani se nahi miltha .Wo hamara senior hain specialist in cardiaology ,injection dene mein nai.Bahut respect karthi hu ham ....usse mere saamne please burayi math karo.

Anitha fully impressed by her dedication to her profession ,smiles.

Anitha: achaa theekey mein nai karthi hu burayi.Ok?

Preetha shows thumsup.

Anitha: ek baath bathao kya thum karan ko pasand karthe ho?

Preetha is stunned by the question.She thought from his side but never from her side.A new question arises but it takes time to find answer and its definitely not now.

Preetha: k...kya bath kar rahe ho mam? mein kyun pasand karungi?

Anitha: Two things.....1) Call me dadi  2) yeh kaise sawal kyun pasand karungi? kyun nai? You are young,beautiful,talented.So kyun nai?

Preetha: Ai....aisa baath nahi hai mam(anitha glares) daadi.meine kabhi socha nahi hai.

Anitha: fir sochna shuru karo. thum use pasand karthe ho.....mein pakka hu(showing her hair)ye baal haina ye meri tajurba ki wajah se safed hogayi

Preetha: ye tho black hainaa

Anitha: Shhh......dye use kiya hain originally tho white haina.(preetha smiles) haso math ab ok? main point pe focus kar.

Preetha keeps chup.

Anitha: good......Preetha thum pasand karthe ho usse.... par pehchana nahi.Itni time mein thum mujhe impress kiya hai which is a very difficult thing  karan tho pakka impress hui hogi.(preetha widens eyes).Socho ek baar aur patha lagao karan ki dil ki baath.

Preetha(unknowingly): Par kaise?

Preetha realised what she said.Inspite of denying the whole thing,she said like she wanted to know whether karan likes her or not.She is embarrassed and dadi is giving teasing smiles to her.

Anitha: dekho ......vo baath thum socho.No help should be taken and given in love and exam.Think for yourself.Mujhe good news bathao.Ok.Bye...

She kisses her forehead and leaves.Preetha is suprised by sudden love of stranger and even more surprised with her words.She is in her thoughts whole day as no appointments are there for her.

ARORA HOUSE

She came to her house. Akash is there in the living room.She greets them and settle herself while sarla brings tea for her.

Sarla: So how is your day?

Preetha: good mama..... no work

Akash: vo tho dikh raha hai lagtha hai hospital ka cleaning staff agaya aaj.

Preetha : Kaise bhai hai thu....arey behan din bar hospital jaake work karke aagayi.... thum aise hi bath karogi?

akash: Arey thumhe tho kaha no work.thumhara dimak ka bhi kaam chahiye naa?

Akash: Idiot ka brother idiot hi hotha hai 

Preetha: Shhhh....mein jaa rahi hu room.

Akash: room tho roj jaathe ho sasural kab jaana hai tho bathao!!

Preetha listening sasural feels different this time but didn't show it.

Preetha: mein room ja rahi hu ....bye.

Sarla and akash observes that she is not irritated by that word.They see her going room silently.At night,she finishes the dinner fastly and waits in her room for his call.

Preetha:  kya hain kab karegi? mein bahut der se wait kar rahi hu.Mumma ,papa ko bhi manage karliya aur akash ...omg!! Wait a minute......mein kyun manage kar rahi hu? manage karne ki kya baath hai?uffooo.......(cools down) cool down preetha.mein usse darathi hu........ise patha chalega ki kya chal raha hai unki dil mein (she feels her heart beat rising) agar waise kuch hua tho mein kya karungi?

Amidst of her confusions,her mobile starts showing 'karan sir'.

Preetha: Cool preetha cool.....you can do it.

Karan(excited): hello

Karan: hello preetha

Silent 

Karan: Preetha...? call cut hogaya kya?

Karan: arey bathao kya hua hai? Kab se batha rahi ho.Mujhe bahot tension ho rahi hai

She can understand he is so tensed and worried for her.She should not drag much.

Preetha: aapka girlfrind aaya hain!!

Karan: Ohhh....(then realises) kya? kaunsa girlfriend?

Preetha: mujhe nahi patha sir ....(on the verge of crying)hospital aaya aur mujhe bahot kuch kaha!!!

Karan(fully confused): kyaa?? Kya baath kar rahe ho? meri girlfriend koun hai? mujhe girlfriend hi nahi hai?

Preetha: I dont know sir.....mujhe bahot hurt kiya

Karan(fully tensed and scared): Preeetha please believe me.....I dont have any girfriend.I dont know who came?

Preetha gives no response.

Karan: helloo ....hello....preetha.Oh shittt.....preetha trust me mujhe nahi jaantha hai kaun aaya hain.mein kisiko pasand nahi kartha.mein tho sirf thum.......(he stops and she widens her eyes)Please dont feel bad mein nahi dekh sakthi thumhe.please

Preetha can sense what he might be feeling right now.She has some fear and to divert him.

Preetha(gloomy voice) : Utna hi nahi yeh bhi kaha ki agar aap 60 saal hain tho vo aapse shaadi kar lethi

Karan: Shaadi?  mujhse kaun hai (he realises what she said) ek min 60 saal thum kya baath kar rahi ho

And she laughs .karan understands whom she is talking about.

Karan(relieved and gets on coach): ohhh godddd......shhhhhhh.kitna ganda prank hai 

Preetha continues laughing.

Karan: Hey wait unhone kuch pataya kya thumhe?

Preetha: haa pataya tha ki aapki girlfriend hai woh

Karan(feared): kuch aur?

Preetha: aur kya hain?

Karan(relaxed): shuuu......safe hu.bahut dar gayi mein.

Preetha: dar kyun?

Karan: aa...aa....(dont know what to say) 

Preetha just listens.

Karan: mein bathaungi pehle mujhe ye bathao ki thum kyun udaas hogayi?

She realized what he meant.He is right.She did not think in this way.

Karan: bathao....thumne mujhe sadly kyun bathaya? normal tarike se bhi patha sakthe.aisa kyun bathaya?

Preetha is silent and she dont know what to say now.

Preetha: umm...vo.....(acts like mumma calling) haa ma aa rahi hu.baad mein baath karthi hu sir.Bye

She puts off the phone before listening his reply.She huffs and hits her head for not thinking in this way.

Preetha: Kya kardi preetha? jaal mein use phasane ki chakkar mein,mein hi fasa hua tha.isi dimaag se mein medical topper kaise bangayi.....waise mein medicine mein topper hu iss maamle mein nahi na.(she remembers his tension)But yeh confirm hai ki kuch tho hai unki dil mei.

Karan on the other side jumps in happiness that she is feeling something for him thats why she does that.

Karan: yippee!! use bura laga meri girlfriend waali baath matlab kuch tho hai uksi dil mein yessss....... but I should not ask her directly like this. Embarrass feel kar rahi hogi

He keeps a message.

Sitting on bed she reads it and smiles.She also replies.

They smile reading messages and both think about the conversation.

Karan: kyun aisa sadly pathaya?

Karan: mujhe patha hai kyun

Preetha: kyun dar gayi?

They both have smile on their faces welcoming a new realization.
