The Broken Doctor

28 - Vijay vs Kid

Vijay's POV :

" Deepu... Did he lost his memory? " I heard Krishna's dad asking her who was confused hearing my questions.

She was looking at me suspiciously raising an eyebrow " Overaction cheyyaku (don't do overaction). Terrible actor you are. You hardly fainted for a minute that to, because of hypoglycemia and you were acting like you came out of coma" she said with' I caught you look' on her face.

"But, how did you find out that I was acting? " I asked her. Yes, I was acting not that fainting part though ,but memory loss part. Once I regained my consciousness, she gave me a glass of water to drink. While drinking that I noticed tear drops on my forearm. But, whose tears were those? Did she cried for me? It's her tears or not. Did she really care for me? I needed to find out somehow. But, dramabaaz me came up with this stupid idea and actor in me started performing, ignoring the fact there is a doctor infront of me. She caught me now. So stupid of me!!

"I had a little doubt hearing your bizzare questions. It got cleared. No, no... you yourself cleared my doubt now " she said gritting her teeth and glaring at me.

I made myself a complete fool. Already she was angry on me for that night and this shit act of me just added fuel for her rage. Wait a minute, did she thinking that fainting is also my act? No...no....Shit!!! Why Vijay? Why you always pull up such stunts which brings you into trouble???

"Why did you do that Vijay? You know how worried were the people around you when you fainted. I knew that you act in real life too, but these people don't know that. So they were worried and here you were making them more tensed. If not for your low blood sugar levels, I would have believed that you were acting that entire time not only the last part. " she said spitting fire in her eyes. I was scared to even look at her. She had this chilling effect on me when she was angry. I don't know what to say and a simple 'sorry' escaped from my mouth.

" Athayya (mother in law), tell someone to bring juice and breakfast for him. By the way what's the breakfast today ? " She asked an middle aged lady may be Krishna's mom because Deepu called her athayya.

" Idli (soft, pillowy steamed savoury cake made up of rice and lentil batter) and Garelu (crispy deep fried savoury doughnut like made up of black lentil batter) for today's breakfast " Aunty replied.

"Then send Idli - sambaar. It's his favourite " Deepu said to her making me surprised. How did she know that it's my favourite? I never mentioned it to her. My heart doing little happy dance inside. Uncle aunty left the room to arrange breakfast for me leaving us alone.

"How did you know that it's my favourite ?" I asked her unable to control my enthusiasm.

"You are the great Vijay Devarakonda. Who doesn't know your favourites!!!" She taunted me.

"We normal people idolize the celebrities as our real life heroes not knowing their original character. We assume that they will be same as that shown in movies and we start following them blindly. Same way I too followed you and in one interview you said idli-sambaar is your favourite and it's registered in my mind " she said through gritted teeth in a taunting tone.

I was happy for a minute knowing that she used to follow me and watch my interviews. But my happiness was crushed realising that her opinion on me completely changed just for a single mistake of mine, that too without any fault of mine. Oh God!!! Now she is seeing me as a culprit. I can't tolerate that look on her face towards me. Arghhh!!!

" I am really sorry Deepu for that night. I should have told you next day about what happened that night. I was scared that, you might stop talking to me. That's why I hid it from you. I am very sorry for that. Please forgive me...please...please" I begged for her apology holding her hands & brought it near to my face. Tears started flowing from my eyes. I closed my eyes as if asking apology I bend my head on to her hands.
