A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 120

'What?!?'

Sonakshi was stunned.

'Sab naatak tha?'

Oh damn!

Rohit didn't meet her gaze and tried to turn back away from her.

'No! You can't just give a statement like that and expect to get away with it!'

'Please so jao, mujhe bohot neend arahi hai..'

'Meri neend urra ke janab ko sona hai? Not until you explain yourself!'

'Abhi mera mood nahin hai, kal baat karenge..'

'Stop saying that! You are saying jo..jo waqt hum ne wahan saath mein guzara, woh sab acting thi tumhari? Wahan..wahan uss houseboat mein..' her voice broke.

Rohit sat up and looked at her, guilt immediately taking over his features.

'No! Not that..'

'Phir? When we kissed, when we hugged, when we were happy in the snow, happy being with each other..when, dammit?'

Sonakshi was angry now.

'I didn't mean that..'

'But you clearly meant something by it! You know what, you are right! Forget it! I also don't want to do this right now..'
Saying so, she laid back on her side, and pulled the duvet over her.

'But..I didn't mean..'

She turned her back to him, and didn't answer, her throat unknowingly clogging up with tears.

Damn you, Rohit Sippy! Damn you!

Rohit ran a hand through his hair, unable to justify why he had said that.

What did I do? Just because I was upset, it didn't give me the right to hurt her like this. Damn you, Rohit Sippy! Damn you!

                  *******

Sonakshi was having a bad, bad day.

Her mood was off, her patients non compliant, a surgery had been cancelled because the patient backed out at the last moment and Rohit...he had called her several times and texted too, but she had not answered.

Damn that man! Kitna pareshan karta hai mujhe! Soch ke bolta hi nahin..na ghussay mein..na hi apni feelings ka izhaar karne mein..pyaar jataane ke liye kya kuch nahin karta..mere saath..mere qareeb rehne ke liye kya kuch nahin karta..or mein..mein kitni bari paagal hun..

Sonakshi pushed a stapler off her desk and it went flying upto the door, as it opened.
Raj stood there, looking amused.

'Uh..is this a bad time, Dr. Sonakshi?'

Sonakshi composed her features.

'No, no! Please, come in.'

Raj came and sat on a chair opposite her across her desk.

'All okay?' He enquired.

'Han, han. You tell! Koi kaam tha?'

'Ji! Woh ek..uhm..'

Sonakshi looked at him as he flushed.

'Kya hogaya? Bolo na..'

'Woh..ek personal sa favour chahiye tha..'

Sonakshi raised an eyebrow.

'Poocho..'

'Woh..woh..aap ki resident hai na Alisha..woh..mujhe..uhm..'
