Hope Memorial Hospital...

« - Doctor Malhotra is waited in room number 355... Doctor Malhotra is waited in room 355... »

The young woman in her twenties sitting in the corridor on the waiting seats presses her hands together nervously again, she checks her watch again before looking up to her companion, the young man passes his two hands in his hair nervously. She tries to give him a reassuring smile but she couldn't convince him as she was as irritated as him. When a nurse passes by their way, she exclaims hopefully:

"- sister, how long will the Doctor Kapoor take to come, please... we have been waiting here for more than five hours!"

"- I'm sorry madam, my reply will not change if you'll ask me for the 10th time... I have no any idea!"

The man asks her sternly:

"- this is inacceptable, how is it possible to be a doctor and have no proper working schedules..."

"- ... because I'm not an employee in you society!"

The voice comes from behind the three of them, the nurse looks back to doctor and smiles apologetically but he doesn't smile back. Doctor Sanskar Kapoor never smiles... she tells him:

"- doctor Kappor, those persons are..."

"- waiting for me, I can see that Maria... you go..."

He enters his office letting the door opened behind him, so they come after him as he walks to his desk and opens his laptop ignoring them. The young woman starts after a moment of uncomfortable silence:

"- Doctor Kapoor, my name is Ragini Gadodia and this is Laksh Maheshwari, I've read an article about your work and we're here to ask you to take my sister's case..."

The doctor doesn't even look up to them, he checks some files while Ragini continue tears forming in her eyes, Laksh presses her hand reassuringly:

"- my sister is in coma for a year now, no one was able to say what happened exactly and how to treat her... please doctor..."

She joins her hands her tears drowning her face as her voice chokes emotionally... Laksh's eyes are moist too and the doctor looks finally to them as Ragini starts sobbing:

"- to treat your sister, she has to be hospitalized first..."

Laksh frowns saying:

"- HERE!!! In this public establishment! Have you heard the name, GA-DO-DIA... like in Gadodia's Industries... we..."

The doctor whistles silencing him shockingly! He smiks saying:

"- Ragini ji... tell your husband that I'm still not an employee in his society! And... I work exclusively in this public hospital with patients interned here... take it or leave it!"

Ragini mumbles awkwardly:

"- he's not my husband!"

Sanskar looks to their joined hands and both of them get apart with a jerk, Laksh' explains with an uncertain voice:

"- main Laksh' Maheshwari... Swara's fiancé!"
