Third Person View

Wait, what? 

Shreyas's line of thoughts was somewhat along there, Deepika glared pointedly at him before turning to smile at her father. "Wait, when did I-" He started but Deepika gave him yet another withering glance.

She's so god damn confusing, He thought to himself but simply nodded his head going with the Chennai Express Strategy because whatever was going on in her head was much too confusing. Deepika hid a smile, he was adorably flustered and puzzled. Arun watched this, his heart sinking.

"Oh?" Her father mused He could see through his daughter's lies but he decided to entertain her. 'Oh, I've spoiled her too much'

"How did the two of you meet?" He tapped the cane on Arun's left leg and cast him a solemn glance. The Poor Guy had searched for Deepika to only find a new 'boyfriend'. Shreyas regained his wit and spoke at the same time as Deepika."

"Elevator."

"Beach."

The two of them glanced at each other and spoke once more, reversing roles.

"Beach,"

"Elevator."

Shreyas was quick to cover up though, "We met at an elevator at the bottom floor parking lot of a beach."

"My Deepika, aren't you afraid of water?" Uncle chuckled, so many holes in the lie.

"I went there to conquer my fear of it," She responded smoothly, Shreyas gave her an appraising look. Her skills of spinning tales were decent. Shreyas stepped forward ever so slightly and slipped her hand in his. This affectionate gesture was not gone unnoticed, her father frowned ever so slightly. He still viewed her as a toddler, and that no man deserved his only child. Deepika in turn, squeezed his hand. Arun's heart was dropped off from the tallest of buildings, and shattered into pieces that could never be collected again. 

He'd waited, He'd searched, and most of all, He'd loved her. No matter the proposals that came, he declined them. Because His Deepika was waiting for him, yet here he was watching another man say the exact same thing. He swallowed the lump in his throat, and blinked away his tears. He quickly strode out of the room, but his heavy heart still belonging to the girl who destroyed it. 

"You should talk to him," Uncle mumbled in the softest of voices, Deepika shook her head instantly. "He left me hurt, I think it's time he felt some of that too."

"That's cruel, and that most certainly isn't what I taught you," Joseph reminded gently, "Inflicting Pain is not what doctors do."

"Fine," She huffed, striding away from Shreyas and closer towards Arun. She found him standing in a corner, and a girl with him. The clearer the view she got, the more revolted she was. 

"That bitch ain't worth it," The girl crooned, "Besides, isn't your wife more beautiful?"

Wife-?

"You can find another way to inherit this hospital." She continued, but Arun had enough. "Shut up, Shalini."

Then Shalini and him were kissing.
