Pramod gave out a stressful sigh as he walked up to his cabin. He had just performed a very critical surgery and was very exhausted. He loosened his tie and opened up the top button of his shirt. As he entered his cabin, stressed but relieved that the surgery was yet another successful one, he noticed the time on his phone.

It was around 1:50 pm in the afternoon and he was free for the whole day. No appointments were scheduled for the day so he was relaxed. He sat down on his leather chair and took in a deep calming breath. He laid his head back and relaxed his muscles for a couple of minutes.

As he had absolutely nothing to do for the day, he decided to head home early. He grabbed his car keys, phone and bag and left his cabin. Doctors and nurses greeted him warmly and he too smiled back at them. So far the day was going wonderful for him. He went to the hospital's reception as his secretary was waiting there looking at a file.

"Mansi, can you please notify Dr. Jay Chautala that I'm leaving the hospital early?", Pramod asked his secretary, working intern, politely to which she smiled and nodded.

"Yes sir, have a good day!", Mansi replied and watched the handsome doctor give her a charming smile and walk out of the hospital which he owned.

As soon as Pramod was out of the hospital, Mansi called Dr. Jay Chautala the founder of Chautala hospital from the reception and notified him of his son's plans for the day.

Here, Pramod got out of the hospital and went straight towards his sleek black Mercedes car that he had parked in the 'Only staff parking' zone. As he was driving towards his home, his thoughts and mind drifted towards a certain someone and instantly he had a smile on his face. He thought to meet his lady love Susheela before he heads home. He parked his car near a tree and tried calling her but she didn't pick up his phone.

Rolling his eyes at his very stubborn fake girlfriend, he had no other choice but to call the supreme court - Garima. On the second ring Garima picked up his phone with a cherry voice.

"Hello Pramod ji, kaise call karna hua? Bailbuddhi aapka call nahi utha rahi hai kya?", Garima asked her would be brother in law in a teasing voice.

"Dekhiye na Garima ji kaisi hai aapki behen. Mera phone hi nahi utha rahi hai, mujhe unse milna tha isilye call kar raha hu kab se. Aapko pata hai wo kaha ho sakti hai abhi filhal?", Parmod asked her in an exhausted tone.

"Aree jijaji, woh bailbuddhi mere samne hi bethi hui hai. Abhi humare classes khatam ho gaye hai toh bas canteen main bethe the. Aap yahi aajao na, mil lo apni girlfriend se yahi par.", Garima replied laughing looking at her sister's face which scrunched up in a frown listening to the word 'girlfriend'.

"Oh okay great! Main aapke college ke pass hi hu, abhi five minutes main aata hu. Please Susheela ji ko kahi bhaagne mat dena, unse hi milne aa raha hu.", Parmod said very well knowing his lady love. If she comes to know that he is coming to see her, the first thing that will come to her mind is bolting right out of his sight.

"Aree jijaji, don't worry aapki girlfriend ko pakad ke rakha hai aap aa jaao.", Garima replied and then cut the call. She looked up at her sister who was fuming with anger and frustration. A deep frown etched on her face as the girls around her laughed at her situation. Garima rolled her eyes playfully and started teasing her sister.
