Responsibility and Love

3

Anika was teaching some interns about how to practise medicine. Not so long ago, her senior gave her the responsibility of a certain amount of medical interns and she had to do the training programs as a teacher basically. Even though Anika wasn't fond of teaching training programs, she was glad to share the responsibility with Asha. 

Anika: and that is all today. Now Dr Asha will go through the next bit of your training program. 

She waved bye at the interns and Asha entered the room with a groan. 

Anika: got drunk again?

Asha: no I didn't drink, I was up late watching Netflix. 

Anika: night-time is not for Netflix Asha, you know that. 

Asha: don't give me your lecture. I am really upset.

Anika: about?

Asha: Missy died in Ackley Bridge!

Anika: oh dear....

Missy Booth in the series Ackley Bridge was Asha's favourite character. Asha loved Missy Booth and the last time she cried regarding Ackley Bridge was when Missy and Aaron broke up. 

Asha: how could they do this? She is the backbone of Ackley Bridge! She is Naz's best friend and they killed her! Kyu?

Anika: it's just a show Asha.

Asha: it's not just a show Anika! 

Anika hugged Asha as she fake-cried. 

Anika: are you mentally stable enough to lead the training program?

Asha: to some extent.

Anika: accha well go and train those interns. You can later cry all you want about the on-screen death.

Asha nodded as she went into the training program and Anika left the room, walking when Aman came up to her. Anika smiled at him as he opened his mouth to speak to her: hey Anika.

Anika: hey Aman, how are you?

Aman: I'm fine you?

Anika: I am also fine. I just came back from teaching those interns. 

Aman: oh god...I just had to deal with my fair share of interns. I didn't sign to be a teacher, I signed to be a doctor. 

Anika: same here....remember when we were interns together?

Aman: that was great. I miss those days. We used to mess about a lot.

Anika laughed and then said: now we have to be serious.

Aman: yeah....oh by the way, me and some friends are going out tonight, do you...

He couldn't complete his sentence because they heard a baby crying. Anika turned to her left and her eyes widened. Aman was confused until he looked at her left. 

The baby was her niece....

Anika: Zaira?

She went up to the nurse who was holding a crying Zaira. 

Anika: give her to me, I am her bua.

The nurse gave the crying little girl to Anika. Anika helped her securely and gently, trying to calm her down. 

Anika: shhh baby, don't cry. Where are your parents?

Anika's eyes widened once more and her jaw opened wide seeing the nurses and a couple of doctors running with two stretchers and on those stretchers was her brother and sister-in-law.
