Next week, Bulbul eagerly waits for Rock star Abhi at the hospital but he doesn't arrive. After waiting for a long time, Alia (Abhishek's sister) comes with Ishwari. Bulbul fees disheartened and leaves.

Pragya takes Abhishek's personal phone number from Ishwari and dials him in the eve.

"Hello Abhishek. This is Dr. Pragya" 

"Hi Dr. what happened is everything fine? Is mom okay? Am out of station, but if there is an emergency then I can return" he replied in panic.

"No need...Mrs. Ishwari is absolutely alright. I've called u for some... personal work."

"Oh😅.. so tell me what help do u need from a rock star??😃"

"I told u some weeks back that Dr. King's bday is coming and I am confused of the gift."

Abhi's face falls but gathers up some courage and replies her. "Yes I remember. I'm returning in 3 days and then we will meet and decide the gift."

"Can't u suggest me something that he likes the most." She asked with some eagerness.

"He loves cars...but u can't gift him, can you😠?" he said in anger

"No...I mean to say that my budget in Rs 1000...so suggest me something"

"U can gift him a watch....he will love it" he said with no interest.

"Alright then. Thanks for the idea. Meet u at the party." She said and cut the call. 

AT KING'S B'DAY PARTY.

Pragya arrives and wishes King. 

He introduces her to his parents, who are the owners of the hospital, where she is working. She feels delighted to meet them. Many guests arrive and king became busy handling them. Pragya feels bored, Abhi arrives there.

He meets her and chats for a while.

"U look dashing in saris👌👌" Abhi said unable to hide.

"Thank u...I think u like pink color a lot. Every time I wear a pink dress or a sari, u always compliment me" she said with a wink.

"No...but this color suits you." He smiled

They had food together with lots of chats. They left from there with a side-hug.

"Let me drop u home" he said as she was trying to fetch an auto.

"No it's alright. I'll go on my own" 

"Shut up and just sit. I am not allowing u to go alone" He said while opening the door of the car and gestured her to sit.

Pragya smiled at his concern and was about to sit. King, who saw everything from far, stopped her and said, "Hey Pragya, if u can wait for half an hour and let all the guests go, then I can drop u home. After all, u came here for my party, so u are my responsibility."

Abhi became sad. But Pragya was more than happy to be with king, so she refused Abhi's offer politely. He accepted.

Few days passed, now Ishwari is almost cured and she is able to lift her legs. Still she is unable to walk. 

Bulbul tries too hard to meet Abhi but always fails due to her packed schedule.

AT MEHRA MANSION

Abhi was sleeping and woke up with the sound of his alarm and shouted, "Robin!!! Where is my coffee...Robin!!! Where are u...?"

Ishwari came there, "beta, robin has gone to his village since a week"

"Oh no!!! Who will give me my coffee?" he said in depressed tone. Ever since he came back from King's party, he wasn't in a good mood. He gets mad easily. His mom witnessed it but she thought that it must be some work issues.

She said "u are bothered only about ur coffee😖😖. Cant u see, I'm standing on my own legs today after 9 months!!!"

He saw his mom standing on her own without any support. Tears brimmed his eyes and he hugged her after so long just like a small boy hugging his mother. Their tears werent stopping and this achievemnt was like a dream come true for them

"I'm so happy to see u like this mom😄😄😄" he said on breaking the hug.

"I know... I'm thankful to God, that he gave us such a nice Dr. who cured me in just 3 months. " she replied.

Immediately, he booked an appointment and went to see her. Pragya was indeed happy to see Ishwari entering the room on her own. Ishwari blesses her.

IN THE EVE

Alia receives this good news about her mom and wishes to have a recovery party at their home. Only near and dear ones will be invited.

"Okay then, Abhi will invite each and every one and don't forget to invite Dr. Pragya, we are obliged to her" Ishwari said to Abhishek.

ABHISHEK'S P.O.V

Shall I message her or call her? Let me message her, what benefit will I get speaking to her *starts messaging, but stops* but no yaar, I think I will call her. After all, this will be last time I am going to meet her. Anyway now, no need to wait for Saturday's to meet her. No calls and no messages. No eagerness to see her smile and no complimenting her for her saris...I have to believe that she loves king and not me.

King didn't even bother about her in the party, for him, she was like a normal girl who likes him. I accompanied her at that time. I left my friends in the party and was there for her. He wasn't. And at the end, while leaving, he offers a lift and she goes.

She didn't think for me so now why should I worry about her. I have a crush on her and I must admit that she can't love me. For her, I am her patient's son. So, for me, now on she is my mom's doctor. Nothing else.

How was the shot guys?

Hope u all like the shot.

So, are you all ready for the next "Party time" shot?  Some new characters to be introduced. No villains in this story.

Let's witness how Abhi can even think of ending the relationship with pragya not knowing that it's a life-long one.

Take care,

SATNAM.
