Hello Chocosticks...

I am back with another chapter. Thanks for the love, support and encouragement.

Our story is again ranked as 9 in doctorlove. Thanks for all the love and support.

Before I go into story, I wanna share some opinions of mine. You may like these opinions of mine or may not. But don't take it too personal.

Loving someone, dreaming your future with and want to marry them is not a bad thing. But don't forget your parents love of many years for your present love. And at the same time, I am not saying to ditch the person you loved. All I am saying is try to convince your parents. They are your parents, they love you. So one or the other day they will accept your love for sure. Recently, my friend informed her parents someone and wants to marry him. They didn't say yes at first. She said that she will wait till they say yes. And also she never broke their trust. She used to meet him only once a month and used to keep it as just as a lunch date. After 8 months, her parents agreed because they got it that he is well settled and made his own establishment in business with his hard work. They got the confidence that he can take care of her. In few months she is getting married.

If the parents know that he can take care of you and has a goal in life, they will definitely say yes. This doesn't mean that he should be rich or handsome. It just means that he should be goal oriented.

Don't get me wrong. All I feel is, don't hurt your parents. They have been loving no matter what from the minute they got to know that you will be coming into their lives.

I wanna dedicate this chapter to fshahy6

Ashni POV:

I ran out of the ward crying. This is my first and I really don't know how this UA screwed up. My patient almost died. What is wrong with me? Why was I careless? What am I gonna say to my parents? What will they think about me?

Just when I was in all these thoughts, I got a call from my mom.

"Ma... " I said crying.

"What happened? Why are you crying? " she asked. She was tensed.

I explained her everything.

"Honey calm down. Just listen to me. Go to nurse and talk to her first, who gave you the medicines. " she said.

"And don't worry. Your dad and I will come there and sort this out. " she said.

"No. I will take care of it MA. I got into this and I will solve it by myself. Please don't tell dad. He may get disappointed in me. " I said while sobbing.

"No dear. We will never be disappointed in you dear. We love you no matter what. Remember that. " she said. I spoke to her for a while more and I decided to face this myself.

Anrag was with me all this while.

"Ashni, please don't cry. I hate to see you like this. Let's get back. " he said.

"Anrag, what have I done? " I cried more hugging him.

"You have done nothing wrong. There is something else. First let's go and find out what is it. Okay. " he said trying to sooth me. I nodded.

We both walked in and tried to locate the nurse who got me the medicines. But we are not able to find her at all. Where the hell did she go?

Just then a ward boy walked to me and said that my patient is awake and wants to meet me.

"Okay. " I said and Anrag and I walked into ward.

"Hello. How are you feeling? " I asked her.

"Much better. " she said smiling.

"Listen, I didn't do it on purpose. I don't even know how that happened. I gave the right prescription. And I don't know how the medicines and I don't know when you got serious and I.... " I was going on and on.

"Relax. I am fine. And I know that you didn't do it on purpose. Or maybe it's not your fault at all. Besides you saved my life. " she said holding my hands. That brought a smile on my face.

"See. Now that's my girl. " Anrag said patting me. I smiled at him.

I asked her to take rest and went back in search of that nurse.

**********************************

Roshan POV:

Today is the day that new interns will be joining. I wanted to hurry. So I just had bread and butter and got on to the road in my car.

When I was on my way. I was stopped at a signal. While I was waiting for the red light to go green, something caught my attention. A girl, a beautiful, simple girl in a car next to mine. She seems to be so happy. She looks so pure as a kid. And she seems to be drown in her own thoughts and I, in her thoughts. Looking at her brought a smile on my face.

Soon I came out of my thoughts when she left and I heard many horns from behind. When I started driving, I patted my head to remind that there is no purity left in anyone anymore.

Soon I reached hospital. I went to my cabin first. There I met my best and only friend Priyam. He has been my friend since my school days and he knows my best and the worst.

Putting on our coats we walked into the cabin where all the interns were supposed to assemble.

When I was about to enter, I heard a sweet voice.

"Excuse me, Dr. Lilly. Aren't these a little complicated cases for interns? " she asked.

"If you are scared then get out of here. Don't question my assistant. " I said going infront of them. I looked at her who asked the question.

OMG. She is the same girl whom I saw this morning. I smiled slightly but regained my rudeness. As soon as she heard my stern voice she bent her head. But again when she heard my name, she looked up in surprise. We both started staring at each other. Priyam cleared his voice, that is when I came out my thoughts.

After all the intros, they announced the duties. And she was under me. I smiled at myself and walked out.

I went to my cabin and went through her file. It is very impressive. Then again I mocked my mind not to think anything stupid. Soon Priyam dashed into my cabin.

"So what's going on? " he asked.

"Nothing. " I said.

"Don't act in front of me. I know you very well. " he said.

"I really don't know what you are talking about. " I said.

"Okay my friend. Tell me why were you smiling at her? " he asked.

"I wasn't smiling. " I said.

"Oh really. When your lips go wide and when you start showing your teeth. That's actually called smile. " he said.

"Look I really don't have time for this. " I said.

"Roshan, I really don't get it. Why you always try to run away from your feelings.? It's okay to smile. " he said.

Now I am irritated.

"Look, I am not meant to be happy. Fine. " I said.

"Who said that you are not meant to be happy.? Ha... Roshan, come out of your past. Why are you holding up to it? Do you even remember, how you used to be? " he said.

He is right. I was not like this. But I was made to be this way now.

"I am holding up to my past because it broke my heart, my happiness, my trust, my everything. So please I am fine being like this. Let me be like this. " I said.

"Wait till someone comes into your life and changes it completely. " he said walking out. That's not gonna happen. I won't let anyone come into my life.

When he left, I heard a knock. I asked them to get in. It was her, Ashni. With another one. I don't even know her name. I smiled but soon composed myself again.

I asked them to tell what they understood from the case. The annoying one started to tell but she didn't say anything new other than what was given in life. I looked at Ashni. Understanding me, she started to explain. Not bad. I thought to myself.

"Good. Keep it up. Noe let's go and meet the patient." I said. I don't know why I did that. I usually don't compliment someone else so easily.

We went to the patient. The other one seemed to be disinterested. But Ashni was interacting with the patient very well. But what I observed is that she is trying to know the medical history of the patient in a ease way. I was again impressed. I left to look on my other patients.

When I was drowned in my files, as usual, Priyam dragged me to canteen to have lunch.

When we were having food, I saw her again walking into canteen. But not alone. There is some guy with her and they seemed to be so close. I don't know what got into me. I couldn't look at them at all.

They were laughing and touching each other. Who the hell is he? But again why do I care? What is wrong with me?

"Jealous? " Priyam said.

"What? " I asked. He pointed to Ashni and that guy. I simply nodded a no and walked out of the canteen. He tried to stop me. But I didn't care. I just went away.

When I was going for rounds, I heard Ashni name being called out in the intercom. I also went to the ward to see what happened. I was looking at her. The patient was in a serious condition. But she didn't lose her calmness. She did everything right and saved the patient. Now I am actually impressed.

But then how did this even happen? I mean the patient was fine a while ago, but now.

I just went in and barked at her.

"What's going on here? " I screamed

"You are so irresponsible. Get out of here. " I told her and without even giving her a chance to explain, I left the place.

I went into my cabin. I was thinking over and over of what just happened. She has been so responsible and she even saved the patient then how can she commit a mistake. ??

"Exactly. There is something wrong. " Priyam said walking into my cabin.

"How do you know what I was thinking? " I asked him. He always does this.

"Because I am your soul brother. " he said. I smiled at that.

"Hey, see you smiled. Since she is making you smile a lot. Let's find out what actually happened and make her stay. " he said.

"First of all, she is not making me smile. Second of all, I want her to stay because he is talented and nothing else. " I said.

"Let's see that. " he said. We both went out to meet the medicine store manager. He said that a nurse got the medicines. But Ashni told me that the other intern went to get medicines. I got the name of the nurse who bought the medicines.

I informed a ward boy to get her to my cabin. And we both were going back. On my way I saw Ashni again. She was crying a lot. I felt a pain in my heart. But again I saw that guy hugging her. I felt another pain at that site. I clenched and walked away not able to look at her any more.

Soon the nurse came in.

"Sir, trust me I bought the right medicines. " she said.

"Then how come, the medicines got exchanged.? " I asked sternly.

"Sir, I don't know. And I have them to Ahaana ma'am. " she said.

"What? Now who is this Ahaana? " I asked.

"She is another intern who is under you. I think you didn't pay much attention other than on Ashni. " he said and whispered the second part. I glared at him. He put his hands up in surrender. Then I asked the nurse to bring both Ashni and Ahaana to my cabin.

**********************************

Ashni POV:

When I was searching for the nurse. One came to me and told me that Dr. Roshan called me to his cabin. I was so tensed listening to that. I looked at Anrag. He took my hand and said.

"Don't worry. You didn't do anything wrong then don't get tensed up. I will be right out side the cabin. " and hugged me.

I went into the cabin after knocking. To my surprise there is Dr. Ahaana and Dr. Priyam too.

"Dr. Ashni, who gave you those medicines? " Dr. Roshan asked.

"A nurse came to me and gave them to me sir. But... " he didn't let me finish, as usual.

"You said Dr. Ahaana went to get the medicines.? " he raised his eye brow.

"Sorry sir that I lied. I was just trying to save her. It's our first day and I know that it can be so hard, so I thought she went to get some fresh air. " I said.

"Remember, never ever dare to lie to me. " he said, devilishly. I was slightly sacred. But I heard a chuckle from Dr. Priyam. Dr. Roshan glared at him.

"So will you explain what happened Dr. Ahaana? " he asked her

"Sir, I didn't do anything. " she said. He banged his table hardly and we both got scared.

"I said never lie to me. The nurse told us that she gave medicines to you. " he said. She went blank.

"And don't forget we have CC TV cams everywhere. If you confess by yourself, it is much better. " he said.

"I am really sorry sir. I checked the medicines. I just felt they are not right. So I changed them and gave them to another nurse, telling her to give them to Ashni. " she said.

What a cunning plan.

"In the first place. You didn't even understand the case. You didn't talk to the patient. You didn't make an observation. Then how the hell did you decide that the prescription given by Dr. Ashni is wrong? " he asked her.

"I am really sorry. I won't repeat this. " she said.

"No you won't. Because now you are out of here. " he said. I was shocked.

"No sir. " it was me who said that. And everyone were shocked looking at me.

"Sir, may be she did a mistake. Mistake happens by everyone. Everyone should be given a chance to correct it, to change themselves. Like how you gave me a chance now. Sir, this may ruin her life. Please sir, give her a chance" I tried to reason with him. He was blankly looking at me. He started to think.

"Okay fine. But one more mistake, she is out here. And from now on you will under Dr. Ashni. Never ever take up a case all by yourself, unless until I tell you to. " he instructed her and she nodded at him.

"And you, from now be more careful and alert. All the time I can't save you. " he said. Again Dr. Priyam chuckled. I really don't know why. I just nodded at him and thanked him smiling.

Everybody left and when I was about to leave.

"Ashni, " he called me out. Wait a second. Just by my name. Not as doctor.

I turned to him.

"I am sorry. I should have tried to listen to you. " he said.

"It's okay sir. May be if I was in your position. I would do the same. " I said smilingly. He smiled at me. I then walked out.

I was shocked. I never knew that he can apologize. Is he guilty??

I ran to Anrag and hugged him. I told him what actually happened.

"See, I told you that everything will be good. " he said.

"Now let's go party to celebrate our first day. " he added.

"And also to my lucky chance. " I said giving him a high five.

Just Ahaana came to us. We both went silent looking her.

"I am sorry. Really sorry. " this is all she said and out away without waiting for my response. She is surely a puzzle that I have to solve. We both finished our left over work and walked out of the hospital.

But all I kept thinking is, is he actually feeling guilty?
