Chapter3 :: 05.03.2019

Dr. Khushi came in to treat the Kid.
"Hai Dear"

Aarush smiled between his sobs.

"What happened to you? Oh, you got hurt?" She said inspecting his wound.

"Hmm, it's a small cut. All this red liquid is just to frighten you. But you are a brave boy. Aren't you?" Khushi said examining his wounds. She wiped his tears with a tissue.

She turned to the sister.

"Sister, clean his wound. And be careful okay."

"Yes, doctor." The sister said smiling at the new doctor.

Khushi was about to move away to give the sister way, but Arush held her hands.
"Will you do it?"

"Hey champ, she is a nice aunty. She has magic in her hands. You will not feel any pain." Khushi said assuring him.

"Please Khushi." He pleads with his innocent eyes.

Giving in to his request Khushi took the cotton and iodine to clean his wounds herself.

Sister looked at the sight before her. From the time Doc. Khushi, the young bubbly girl joined the hospital 6 months back, assist Khushi. None can escape Khushi's charm.  It's not the first time the sister noticed how especially the kids prefer to get the treatment solely from Dr. Khushi.

Arush hissed when Khushi dapped the wound with iodine.

"It's nothing. Shh champ. Just a few more minutes."

Khushi consoled Arush occasionally blowing air to the wound.

"By the way, you didn't tell me your name."

"Arush." He said in a small voice.

"That's a sweet name you have." Khushi smiled in appreciation.

"Tell me about you. You don't mind it. Do you?"

"I am Arush Singh Raizada."

Hearing the name another voice echoed in her ear. It yelled "ARNAV SINGH RAIZADAAAA!!!" It was her own. After that, she heard his laughter. Her hands came to halt. She looked at Arush's face. She shook her head shaking out the memories.

"I am seven years old. I study in std 2, in TVI school." Arush continued.

She distracted Arush pulling him into a small conversation while she worked on his wound.

"There you go." She said bandaging his cut.
Then she stepped back letting the sister clean up the place.
The sister gave him a glass of glucose. He drank it in a go.

"One more glass?"  Khushi asked.

He shook his head in no wiping his mouth.
Khushi took a tissue and gave him.

"Ok then. You will be better in a day or two. Take care till then okay Arush?" She patted his cheeks.

"I have seen you before," Arush spoke out of blue.

"Huh?" Khushi got confused.

"My dad. Arnav Singh Raizada. I have seen your pic among his college stuff."

"You are Arnav's son?" Khushi asked in shock.

"Mm. You are Dad's friend?"

"Yes. I was. His best friend." She said with a lovely smile remembering her college days with Arnav.

"Arush, your dad asked you to wait here. He will be here in 30 minutes." The caretaker who came with Arush from school told Arush.

"Why did you tell him? I asked you to tell ND not Dad. Now how will I handle him?"
Arush said in worry.

"Arush your DN didn't pick up the call. So I had to call Mr.Raizada" replied the caretaker.

"What happened Arush?" Khushi enquired noticing his tensed face.

"Nothing happened. It's about to happen." He replied Khushi. "Dad" he added after a pause.

"Arnav?"

"He gets so worked up even if I sneeze. And here I have this many bandages on me." He pointed out the bandages on his forehead, knees, and arm where he got bruises when he fell in the playground.

"Oh. Okay. Let's do one thing. He will come in 30 minutes right. Till then we can wait in my cabin. What's say?"

He excitedly told Khushi, "Perfect. He will be surprised meeting you. And hopefully will be distracted from my bandages." murmuring the last sentence to himself.

"Okay. Let's go." Khushi held picked him up in his arms.
Then turned to the sister, let Mr.Raizada know Arush is with me in my cabin.

"Ok doctor."

Arush wrapped his little hands around Khushi's neck. They walked to her cabin.

"There." She made Arush sit on the sofa in her cabin.

"How is Arnav?" She asked after a pause.

"He? You are his best friend right?  You might know better."
"Yes, but that was 8 years back. When we were in college. He might have changed."
Khushi reasoned.

"Tell me how he was in college?" Arush asked.

"But I asked you first. So you tell me." Khushi pointed him.

"But Mr.Thor says 'Ladies first.' So you tell me."

"Mr.Thor? The Avengers guy?"

"No. It's my Aman Uncle. You might know him. He was there with Dad in college also."

"You mean Aman Mathur?"

"Yes. He is my Mr.Thor. He is Dad's PA."

"Very expected. They were like stuck to each other with Fevicol even back in college." Khushi told Arush while her mind picked up bits and pieces of her college time.

"Okay. I will tell you about Dad now. And you will tell me about Dad then. Deal?" Arush asked extending his hand in a business-like manner to seal the deal.

"Deal." She shook hands with Arush laughing.

"So Dad is now ASR." Arush began.0

"ASR?"

"Yes, Arnav Singh Raizada. ASR of AR Corps. He is very famous. And runs a huge business."

"What? That's him?"

"What happened? You never heard of him?"

"Yes, I have. But never bothered to know anything about him in detail. But have heard the funds from the hospital. And he is a hothead. Very strict. But Arnav and business tycoon?"  Khushi got confused.

"Ya, that's Dad." Arush shrugged his shoulders. "Was he always angry in college?"

"No, not much. I mean he was always a playful guy. I can never imagine him as a business tycoon. And him being strict is out of the question."

"Tell me more about him, then." Arush insisted on Khushi.

Before she could begin, a series of impatient knocks interrupted them.

"Dad is here," Arush said facepalming.

"Come in," Khushi answered getting up from the chair.

Arnav who hurriedly rushed into the cabin got froze in his very first step when he saw Khushi standing in the cabin with a beautiful smile as always.

"Hai Dad." Arush brought him back to the real world. His eyes wandered from Khushi to Arush and then back to Khushi.
