"Jiya was so confused when she saw that Aarohi was hiding beside the table. So she went to her and asked, 'Aarohi, what are you doing beside the table?' Aarohi didn't say anything; she just gestured for Jiya to be quiet. After some time, Aarohi emerged from behind the table. Jiya asked again, 'What were you doing there?' Aarohi responded, Rudra's friend? She knows me and she's here. I don't want to meet her or for her to recognize me.' Jiya said, 'Oh, okay. So what's her name?' Aarohi replied, 'Myra.'"
"When Myra entered the room, she saw that Rudra was asleep. She approached him and felt emotional upon seeing his condition. She said softly, 'I'm here, beside you.' After some time, Rudra woke up and asked, 'You're here?' Myra replied, 'Yes, I am.' She then asked Rudra, 'How are you feeling now?' Rudra responded, 'I've always been fine. You know that, Myra?' Myra said, 'Yeah, I can see how fine you are.' They continued their conversation, and when Rudra's mother entered the room, Myra greeted her."
"When Jiya and Aarohi were talking, the nurse came and told Aarohi that they had to go and visit Rudra for today. Aarohi said, 'Oh no! What am I going to do? She's in his room right now. I can't go there.' But she had to. So she took very slow steps towards Rudra's room. The nurse opened the door, but Aarohi was just standing beside it. The nurse said, 'Doctor, come in. Why are you so... Where are you lost?' Aarohi entered the room. Rudra saw Aarohi and just stared at her. When Myra saw Aarohi, she was shocked. She really didn't know what was happening, why she was there, or anything. She was confused. Rudra's mother just smiled at her and said, 'Doctor, you're here. Please check my son.'"
"Before starting Rudra's check-up, the nurse asked Rudra's mother and Myra to wait outside for a while. So, they both stepped out, and Aarohi began her examination.
She asked the nurse to prepare an injection, which made Rudra fearful. He said, 'Why an injection? I can take the medicines.' Aarohi replied, 'Mr. Sinha, it's necessary. We are doctors, we know what needs to be done. Please.' Rudra remained silent. The nurse prepared the injection and handed it to Aarohi. Aarohi rolled up Rudra's sleeve. Just as she was about to administer the injection, Rudra started twitching, anticipating the prick.
The nurse chuckled and said, 'Mr. Rudra Sinha, you're acting like a child.'
Aarohi remarked, 'He's always like this.' Immediately, she regretted her comment, thinking, 'Why did you have to say that, Aarohi?'
Rudra glanced at her and said, 'People change with time.'
Aarohi proceeded to give the injection, and Rudra appeared to be in considerable pain. After it was done, Aarohi applied a cotton ball and instructed Rudra to hold it for a minute. She then asked the nurse to change the bandages, informing her that she wouldn't be able to attend to Rudra today as she had other patients to see. Aarohi instructed the nurse to assist Rudra with anything he needed. The nurse agreed, and Aarohi left."
As Aarohi was leaving, she noticed Rudra's mother and Myra standing outside the door. She smiled at Rudra's mother and departed. Turning the corner, she heard her name being called. When she turned back, she saw Myra standing there, looking angry. Myra approached her and asked, "What are you doing here?" Aarohi retorted, "Why do you care? It's not your property." Myra responded with indifference, saying, "Whatever.
So, you became a doctor?" Aarohi affirmed, "Yeah, I think so."
Myra remarked, "Then just stay in your lane. Don't interfere in our lives again."
Aarohi asserted, "I don't repeat mistakes."
Myra smiled and said, "You know, now I hate you even more." Aarohi laughed and replied, "Then keep hating me ." With that, she left.
After a minute, Myra heard her name ; it was Divya, Rudra's sister. Divya approached Myra and greeted her, saying, "Hi Myra dii, you came?" Myra hugged her and replied, "Yeah, I just arrived about half an hour ago."
In the afternoon, after classes, Jiya asked Aarohi, "Aren't you going to check on him?" Aarohi replied, "No. Myra is there, and I don't want to argue with her. So, I just sent the nurse to check on him."
As they were talking, someone called Aarohi's nameâit was a colleague. Aarohi turned and noticed Rudra's sister standing near the reception. She glanced at her and quickly looked away, intending to leave.
Then she heard her name again, and this time it was Divya. Divya asked, "You're Aarohi, right?"
Aarohi replied, "Yes, do you need something?"
Divya responded, "No, I don't need anything from you. Yesterday when I saw you, I kept thinking where I had seen you before. Now that I've heard your name, I rememberâyou're Aarohi, right?"
Aarohi felt nervous, wondering how Divya knew her. She asked, "How do you know me?" Divya replied, "What do you think? My brother showed me your pictures, a lot of them. Like five years ago.
And you, because of you, you know what.... She was about to say something, but Myra intervened, saying, "Don't say it, Divya. She doesn't need to know." Divya agreed, saying, "Yeah, you're right. Because she means nothing to my brother now." Then she expressed, "I just want to say that I hate you more than anything else."
Myra then took Divya and left.
Aarohi wondered, "What have I done to make them all hate me? It's one thing with Rudra, but why does her sister hate me?" She felt confused and upset because she and Divya used to share a great bond during calls, but now Divya hated her.
Myra and Divya went to Rudra's room, and Rudra noticed the expression on Divya's face, prompting him to ask Myra what had happened. Myra responded, "She knows, you know, Aarohi."
Rudra simply acknowledged this with an "okay."
Divya then questioned Rudra, "Bhai, why didn't you tell me earlier that she's the one? I knew it, but it just didn't click in my mind that she's that Aarohi."
Rudra replied sharply, "Why do you care now? She's not a part of my life." Forget about her. We're not going to see him for life, just for a few more days. That's it."
And my sad, yes, Divya, your brother right? So just bare for some days.
And then Rudra said, "Don't tell Mom about it." Divya nodded her head in acknowledgment.
Aarohi sat in the canteen, her mind consumed by thoughts of what Divya wanted to say before Myra interrupted. "What did she mean that I don't need to know that?" Aarohi mused to herself. "What could it be?" After a moment of contemplation, she concluded, "Why do I care? It's nothing to do with me now."
And again for the day, the last checkup, Aarohi went to the Rudra's room, but when she, the nurse was not with her today as she was assisting some senior doctors. She was about to enter the room, but she saw that Rudra's father was standing beside her, and she thought, I didn't see him in the last two days, where he left when her son was in this condition.
She was waiting outside the door as she didn't want to interrupt them, and by telling the situation, she can assume that there is some tension between them, and she remember, yeah, there would always be a tension between them, as he used to told her that, and now when they were talking, Rudra was just keep listening, and some way, they start arguing, she didn't hear anything, but she can saw it from the window glass, and she just thought that she should enter and stop whatever going there, she entered the door, and Rudra and his father, both became quiet, and Aarohi told her father to wait outside as she needs to check on Rudra, her father just nodded and left, and by looking at Rudra's face, she was confirmed that there was an argument between him and his father.
"Uh," she said, "Is everything fine between you and Father? Did you argue again?"
Rudra replied coldly, "It's none of your business, doctor."
Then she said "What's with the attitude?"
Rudra retorted, "You know what? You don't need to interfere in my life and my personal matters. You are no one to me. And for now, I just hate you, more than anything else. So, just keep your distance and do whatever you're here to do."
"She knew that she and Rudra were not on good terms, but she was upset about it.
She checked her daily reports, and since the nurse was not there, she prepared the medicine, filled a glass of water, and was about to administer the medication. However, she noticed that his dinner plate remained untouched.
"Mr. Sinha, haven't you had your dinner yet?" she inquired. Rudra just shook his head. She insisted, "Then have it; you have to take the medicine."
Rudra replied, "I'm not in the mood to eat, or I'm not hungry. Just give me the medicine; I'll take them."
Aarohi persisted, "No, you have to eat dinner before taking the medicine." Rudra refused, but Aarohi picked up the plate and placed it in front of him. Then she remembered that Rudra's one hand was fractured, and the other one had a needle attached, rendering him unable to use either hand.
Rudra looked at her expectantly, as he was accustomed to the nurse feeding him and giving him the medicine every day.
"Just call Reena," Rudra suggested. Aarohi replied, "She's busy; she can't come."
Rudra then asked, "Call someone else." Aarohi responded, "There is no one." Rudra insisted, "Then give me the medicines." Knowing it wasn't safe to give the medication before dinner, Aarohi took a spoonful and she held her face with one hand, attempting to feed with other.
Rudra kept resisting, and said, 'Don't do it, stop this. I'm telling you, just stop.' Then he shout, 'Stop it, Aaruhh'
and after that, there was only silence."
After a brief pause, she gently urged, "Open your mouth." Rudra complied, and she proceeded to feed him. In that moment, there was complete silence; no words were exchanged, just a silent understanding.
After she finished feeding him, she gave him a sip of water, followed by the medication, and then another sip of water.
"It's done," she said. As she was about to leave, she reached for the door handle and heard Rudra's voice behind her.
"Why did you left?" he asked.
She turned back, surprised. "What?" s
Rudra persisted, "Why didn't you come to check on me the whole day? Did you forget your duties as a doctor?"
Aarohi responded, "Mr. Sinha, I have many other patients besides you. You are not someone special to me. And it's not like you need me only."
Rudra then replied, "Yeah, of course, anyone can replace you."
With that, she left. Feeling upset after the encounter, she muttered to herself, "Yeah, he has so many to replace me."
After a few days, Rudra was practicing walking in his room when Aarohi and the nurse arrived. The nurse praised Rudra's progress, encouraging him to continue.
Aarohi instructed the nurse to make Rudra sit and give him only the necessary medication since he was improving and didn't require as much now that he could walk on his own. As the nurse administered the medication, she noted that Rudra's wounds were nearly healed, indicating his improved condition. Aarohi agreed.
At that moment, the nurse was called away to attend to another patient, so she handed the bandages to Aarohi and asked her to handle it.
Aarohi stood beside Rudra and asked him to unbutton his shirt so she could change his bandages. Rudra protested, suggesting that Reena could do it later. Aarohi explained the risk of infection if the wounds were left uncovered while they were healing. Reluctantly, Rudra allowed Aarohi to unbutton his shirt, but he stopped her when she reached the top button, insisting that it wasn't necessary. Aarohi changed the bandages on Rudra's stomach and attempted to change the one on the back of his neck, but Rudra hesitated, telling her to finish quickly and expressing his disinterest. Irritated by Rudra's attitude, Aarohi responded, "Okay, fine. Whatever suits you, Mr. Sinha."
After finishing changing Rudra's bandages, Myra and Divya entered the room, ignoring Aarohi. They spoke directly to Rudra, asking about his progress. Divya mentioned that their mother was tired and had gone back to the hotel. Rudra acknowledged this news and mentioned their father's trip to Pune for work.
Aarohi told Rudra she left his medications nearby for him to take after lunch. Rudra questioned if she would return to check on him again, and Aarohi replied that she might just send the nurse instead. Divya agreed and said that wouldbe more better, and Aarohi left quietly.
Then Myra said to Divya, "I've always hated her from the start." Divya replied, "Now I understand why you used to say that. I can relate to you." Rudra interjected, "Will you please stop talking about her? I'm already tired of seeing her again and again." Divya responded, "Okay bhai..
