He could only hear muffled voice She was struggling to get free. He let her go but held her hand. When she turned he burst into laughter she was biting two buns in her mouth.

"Not funny!" she said "I could have choked," she said eating one of them

"You steal now?"he asked in between his bouts of laughter he couldn't wipe away the sight of her stealing Buns

"I have paid for it, look,"she pointed through a window showing the money she had left on the table. "I'm hungry," Saying so Shruthi kept eating them and walking towards the hospital

"Why do all these gymnastics? you can cook and have something at your room?" Rishi suggested

"No such provisions",Shruthi did not stop she kept walking

"Are you in a Hurry?"he asked

"It's already 1am, I have a 3am knee replacement followed by a collis fracture and I'm assisting the neuro. my day is full so this is my fuel",shruthi waved the last piece of Bun

Rishi stood there for sometime watching her go. She stood and turned back and came closer to him looking into his eyes she spoke in a very sweet voice "Promise me Doctor, that you won't do anything stupid regarding the cooking arrangements in our hostel", and laughed

Rishi laughed "Sure nothing stupid", he said with a spark in his eyes. She waved to him and went inside the hospital Rishi continued his walk.

When he was sure that no one was watching, he picked up his phone and dialled Sk's number

"Better be something good", sounded a sleepy voice

"I have an Idea" Rishi's voice was full of positivity

"Doctor Rishi",Mercina joined him during his usual rounds

"So how do you like our hospital? its been a month since you joined".

"Its good I'm actually learning a lot from many of you".

"That's good & you have brought so many changes to the hospital"

"Me? no its must be because Sk is directly involved", Rishi replied humbly

"Come on doctor, a mini kitchen setup in ladies accommodation? I don't think Sk would have done that",Messey slowly started to reveal her true motive

"Didn't want any of the staffs who work late night to be hungry", he replied casually

"You could have ordered the cafeteria to be open 24 hours", Mercina shrugged

Rishi STOPed and looked at her then smiled "What is that between you & Dr.Shruthi? I know where you are going with all these".

Mercina was silent for sometime then answered "We had the same taste in men", she didn't want to be analyzed by him anymore so she moved away.

"Shru can you make some more? I love your aloo bindi masala".

"aaahaan! but no Ri. I don't have time, you have already had your dinner", Shruthi said with a mocking smile

"I... I will eat it later", Ri said rolling the rotis

"Look I'm making for Vimal and for me. he will be discharged tomorrow I promised him dinner and I don't have time to make you extra", Shruthi said with a fake seriousness

Ri was blushing

"I know babes! I can read you,"Shruthi laughed

"Thank you can I...can I... ?"Ri was hesitanting
