There intezar karna meri fitrat is bangayi
Teri out aane ki dua karna
Meri zaroorat is bangayi
Teri raah takte rehna meri ibaadat is bangayi
Aur tera na aana meri kismat is bangayi.

Na, I am not at all a shayar, as you think. I read this somewhere, but then I don't know it will become my reality. Why? Because today marks the second anniversary where I lost my love, my best friend and companion.

Now, please don't picture ne crying with a tub of ice cream watching a chick flick. Because I am not gonna do that, especially when it wasn't my fault that my relationship comes to an abrupt end.

It all started with a misunderstanding. Well, that sounds like a Wattpad story title. But that's what happened. One misunderstanding lead to another, that to another, and after three months of continuous fights, he ended it throwing some harsh words and accusations on my way.

It kind of funny actually, the person who promised to always trust me and never let me cry is the very same one who trusted someone over me and made me cry myself to sleep. They say na, those you love the most can hurt you the most and it hurt worst when you have to prove your innocence every damn time. It was like there was no trust in our relationship. So that time I promised my self that I will save the little bit dignity remained and never true to prove my innocence to him.

It was just a physical attraction or that is what I made my point heart believe. Those butterflies flattering, those sparks and those racing hearts doesn't mean anything now. That is a closed chapter. It hurts less as each day passes.

"Vedika beta, come fast. Otherwise, you will be late. Don't make me run behind you."

That's my dadi. After that day I didn't want to stay in the same place anymore. It contains a hell lot of memories and I wasn't ready to be locked up in those memories. I needed to move on. So I packed my bag and come here. Haa, it's difficult to stay away from Maa-Papa. But I love staying here.

"Coming dadi."

I called out before adjusting my black jumpsuit.

Yup, I am celebrating black day today. Don't mind me, I dress according to my mood. No compromises.

I came to the dining room after kissing my dadu's cheeks who is by now having his 3rd coffee reading the newspaper and It's just 8 A.M. Even after I have scolded him a billion times for it, he never cares.

After having the delicious breakfast prepared by dadi, I left to the hospital.

Long day ahead Vedika. Brace yourself.

Hospital.

Oh God, it was really tiring seriously. I just finished my rounds just now. My watch shows the time at 1.10 P.M. I have 50 minutes left the break. Time to fill my tummy.

When I reached the canteen I saw Doctor Firoz sitting alone as usual.

He is one of the best cardiologists in this hospital. He is a silent person but he gives you the best advice. We are friends from the time I started working here minus the time I tormented him for being my friend. No, it wasn't any crush. I got more of a brotherly feeling for him. I slumped to a chair opposite to in making him startle. I gave him an apologetic smile before digging into my food.

"How is your day Doctor Vedika?"

Yup, he still speaks formally with me.

"Really exhausting I don't know how will I survive till my shift ends. What about you? Hmm?"

I asked him still not looking at him, but when I didn't get any response I looked up to see he is looking behind me with dreamy eyes. That could mean only one thing. Doctor Mehek is there.

I followed his line of vision and bingo, my conclusion was right. Doctor Mehek is currently buying food for herself. Oh, have I told you this silent man is a silent lover too? I think everything in his life is silent only.

"Hey, Doctor Mehek, come here," I called out as I saw her looking for a seat in this busy cafeteria.

Doctor Mehek is a beautiful, kind-hearted woman. She is a psychologist. We are friends. But not that close.

She gave me her ever so gentle smile and by his her smile is contagious. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Doctor Firoz hyperventilating. I could imagine how the wheels in his head are spinning thinking about perfect greetings. I think I heard his loud heartbeat. Poor guy.

"Hey." Doctor Mehak greeted us then looked at Firoz who has his eyes fixed on his food.

I stomped on his foot startling him and glared pointing at Mehak.

"Hey, Doctor Mehak. How are you? Oh, you are having a sandwich? It's not healthy eating a sandwich regularly. It contains calories, fat....."

And here goes nothing. Is he seriously giving her health tips? Very smooth Firoz, very smooth.

I stared at Mehak who has a bewildered expression on her face. I once again stomped at his feet successfully stopping his rambling and give him a stink eye.

"Actually, I have an appointment now. I will take my leave." He hurriedly leaves the canteen.

"What did actually happened now?" I heard Mehak mumbling before looking at her sandwich contemplating whether to eat it or not before dropping it back into the tray. I am sure she is never gonna touch a sandwich again.

That guy na, I intended to provide him with an opportunity to be friends with Mehak, but no, he has to mess it up.

Oh God, please help this silent lover.

.

.

It is evening now and I am all set to go home and snuggle into my comfy bed after a day of full exhaustion. Why did I dream to be a doctor? Then again I love my work.

It's complicated. Actually, I am complicated. Whatever.

I was walking out of my cabin when someone called me.

"Excuse me, doctor."

I turned to meet with a guy in mid-twenties with a cold expression on his face as if I stole his chocolate or something.

I raised my eyebrow at him not getting any clue of me knowing him.

"Yes?"

"Could you tell me where Dr Firoz's cabin is?"

"Go straight and take the first left, 3rd room."

He nods his head and left without saying a thank you. Rude much? *cue eye roll*
