"There is no problem with me. I am perfectly fine. The person who needs to visit doctor is you. If you want me to accompany you, I will come. They will give discount to you if I am with you," Niha replied and sat on the bed.

Sanjay smirked at her reply and started unbuttoning his shirt. Niha gulped at the sight.
" What....are you... doing, Sanjay?", Niha said stammering.

" Can't you see, baby. Aren't you enjoying?I saw you staring at me several times," Sanjay winked at her.

Niha was embarrassed when Sanjay told he caught her staring at him. She is not in mood to accept it easily.
" Don't overthink. I have seen much better," Niha contered.

" Oh, I see. Then let me show you how much better I am," Sanjay replied mischievously and stood infront of Niha.

"Stop right there,Sanjay," Niha warned.
" What will you do if I won't stop," Sanjay said.
" I will... shout loudly," Niha replied.

By hearing Niha's words, Sanjay started laughing hard.
" If you shout loud, people will think you're lucky. No one will come near the door," Sanjay replied.

" You're an idiot," Niha took the pillow and threw it in Sanjay's direction.
"  Hey! Slow down, tiger. Do you want me to start already?," Sanjay remarked.

Niha immediately stood up realizing the situation going out of control.
"No, I am leaving," Niha started walking towards the door.

Sanjay caught her arm and pulled her towards himself.
" Where are you going?", Sanjay questioned.

"To my room," Niha replied. Sanjay tightened his grip on her.
" Can't you understand? You are not going anywhere. You will stay in this room," Sanjay turned Niha towards his direction.

" It's enough,Sanjay. Stop it. I have work to do. I want to go to my room," Niha said and trying to wriggle out of his grip.

" Stop struggling, Niha. You're not going anywhere."
" No, I am going. I can't stay with the person who makes deal for one year," Niha said.

Her words triggered Sanjay to the peak.
" If you are my wife for lifelong is it ok for you then," Sanjay questioned Niha.

Niha didn't reply.
"Answer me,Niha."
Niha was in her thoughts. She felt like she was using him for her own reasons.

Though she liked him, the reason she married him was due to use his name and get access to patients files. She felt as she was betraying him.

" Stop talking when you are not right in mind, Sanjay. You and me are impossible."

"Who said I am not in right mind? Mark my words,Niha. You're struck with me forever. Even you want to leave, I won't allow you to go," Sanjay warned her.

" Please Sanjay. Stop saying like that. It will be very difficult for me to leave you," Niha pleaded.

" Why are you keen on leaving me? I won't leave what I want. You are mine. You will be with me forever even you like it or not," Sanjay said looking into Niha's eyes.

Sanjay laid on the bed. Niha was staring at him.
"You can see me as much as you want. For now, just sleep."
" Who told you that I am seeing you?"

" Then what are you doing?"
" Nothing."

He looked at her and said, " Come and sleep,Niha. It's getting late."
"I have some work. I will get my laptop and come."

"Be sure to come back. Or else ...," Sanjay started telling but interrupted by telling, "I know. I will be back."

Niha went to her room and brought her laptop and phone. When she reached back, she found Sanjay sleeping. She worked for sometime and feeling bored she looked around.

Later,She was seeing his face and thought, " I am selfish person,Sanjay. I never thought you will be this much close to me. When you came to me to make a deal with me, I became more selfish. You will atleast be near to me for one year. Don't come close to me, Sanjay. I am not the one for you. You deserve someone better than me. Not a girl, who is broke and can't sleep without nightmares. "

Niha kept her laptop aside and slept beside Sanjay. After some time, she woke up at the midnight with beads of sweat on her forehead. She ran out of the room making sure Sanjay won't get up. Calming herself, she came back and slept.

----------------------------------------

Next day morning,

Sanjay is usually an early riser. He woke up fast and saw Niha still sleeping. He went to gym room and came back after an hour.

He went to take shower. He came out with a towel around his waist and other around his neck. He found Niha still sleeping.

He thought, "Won't she go to hospital ?".He had several questions in his mind. He wanted to ask her but he can't. He was the one who made her not to speak a word about her mother. How can he ask her now? Only option left for him to find answers was asking Varun. He have to find ways to ask him.

He found her cute while sleeping. He wanted to irritate her. He took towel around his neck and threw it onto Niha's face and said, "Get up."

"No, let me sleep,"Niha groaned.
"Hey! You need to go to hospital. You're getting late."
" Don't disturb me. My alarm didn't ring. Why are you disturbing me? Don't disturb and go away."

He pulled her hand. With that impact, she rose from the bed and got hit her head. Niha started to rub her head and said, " Ahh! What did I got hit with? It's so hard."

When she opened her eyes and realization hit her.She got hit to his abs. He was standing half naked infront of her.

" You can drool as much as you want. But not now. Go and get ready to the hospital," he winked at her.

" You're worse than my brother. He also tries woke me up but not like you. He just wakes me one time. I still have time to sleep. But, you're irritating me," Niha murmured in her sleepy voice.

" Is this why your friend Moukti is teasing you by calling your secret 15 minutes? You are such a lazy brat," Sanjay Said.

" Then what are you? Grown up idiot," Niha replied.
Sanjay caged her with his arms. Niha's heart was beating crazily at the nearness that it can explode at any movement.

Niha pushed him and ran outside the room.
" Hey! Why are you running?", Sanjay said and smiled to himself.
" I think I need to take shower again. Thanks to Niha," he muttered.

Niha stood outside the door and breathing heavily. Her sleep was far away. She went to her room and got ready.

When she left the room, she encountered with Sanjay. Her thoughts revolved around seeing Sanjay in the morning. She stood up rooted in her place and blushing hard. She tried to move but her legs are not listening.

" Don't act like an idiot. Just go away from him," Niha's subconscious scolded her. Sanjay got hint that he is having impact on her. He smirked and walked near her.

" Why are you blushing? Is it because of me," he gave her amusing look.
" No. Why would I be?"

"  Then why is your face is showing different expressions ?", Sanjay questioned.
" I am getting late. Bye."

She pushed him and went out with blushing. He was smiling to himself. She took the bus and left for hospital. Sanjay followed her in his car and left when she entered the hospital.

-----------------------------------------

At the hospital

Niha went to the ward where the patients files are kept. She managed to hide from the security. She entered in the room. She was searching for the files of two patients, she was trying to treat.

They were presented with arrythmias( irregular beatings of heart). Origin is unknown.

She got encountered with two cases like that. When she guided them to head of the department, the patient were shifted to private ward. No other doctors were allowed there except the selected ones.

Niha found it somewhat fishy. She asked Vardhan sir about the details. He told her not to get involved and they are not her patients. She was not satisfied with Vardhan's explanation.

She explained the case to Arjun. He said he will try to help her. He also searched for similar cases. But, couldn't find it. So, at present, both of them were working on this case.

She was searching for the case in her laptop whether there was any previous cases like that.
She felt something big was happening behind. Why would they keep this much privacy for a case.

When she wanted to take the files in upper cupboard, she stopped when she heard voice stopping her. It was a guard.

" Mam, you can't get into this room without permission, ", guard said.
Niha hesitated first, later she said, "I want file of patient in ward 2. So, I came to take them."

" Sorry mam. We will send it. Don't enter this room again."
Niha stomped her feet and left the room. She entered  her cabin and called Arjun.

Before Niha could answer, Arjun started asking questions," Niha, Have you got the files?"
" No, Arjun. I tried to grab them but a guard stopped me."

" You can ask Sanjay help. Afterall it is his uncle's hospital," Arjun said.
" I know Arjun but...", Niha started stammering.

" Are you afraid that he will know real intention why you married him?"
" Arjun, how do ....you.."

" Don't worry, Niha. I can understand you. We will try to figure out other ways," Arjun commented.
" Thanks for understanding, Arjun. I will to tell  Sanjay and get help when possible. First tell me,How do you know?,"

" Don't worry,Niha. Your secret is safe with me," Arjun exclaimed.
Niha realised when she left the cafe yesterday, Arjun and Moukti were present. She figured out that Moukti said to him.

" That loose tongue idiot. She always do that? Did Moukti tell you?", Niha questioned.

" Stop cursing her, Niha. Atleast, she told me. My friend didn't even got an idea to tell me," Arjun murmured.

" It's not like that, Arjun," Niha tried to explain him.
" I understand you, Niha. But as my friend I atleast expect you to tell me, right," Arjun commented.

" I am sorry, Arjun. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I promise you I won't hide any secrets," Niha tried to console him.

" It's ok, Niha. Next time, if I find you hiding something then I will forget even you are my friend?" Arjun warned Niha.

" I promise you that," Niha replied.
" Or else I will kill you. No, I am taking my words back. If anything happens to you, I am sure Sanjay won't leave me. Bye," Arjun countered and Niha laughed at his words.

" Ok Arjun. Bye."

Niha returned back home went to her room. She found her things missing in the room.
" Sanjay, I am going to kill you," Niha shouted.

She pushed Sanjay's door and barged in. He was working on his laptop. When she entered, Sanjay lifted his head and said, " My baby is eager to see me," He snapped.

" You...You," Niha replied.
" Yes, me....me..." he said.
" Why did you shift my things?"

" It's my wish."
" You are an idiot. Do you know that?"
She went to cupboard and opened it. Her eyes widened and lit up when she found the white dress, she wanted to buy.

" This is the dress..."
Before she could finish, he pulled the dress from her hands.
" It's not for you," he said.

" Yes, I remember. It doesn't suit me," Niha said with hurtful tone. He saw her face. He wanted to tell her he bought it for her.

But, his mind was stopping him to tell her. She kept the dress on the table and left his room ignoring him. Her phone rang and she lifted when it's Moukti calling.

Niha answered the call and said, " Hello, baby."
Niha usually calls Moukti in sweet names only when she is sad. Moukti understood that and about to answer her.
