Rocky goes down to the lobby. There, he is enthusiastically greeted by the manager.
Manager: Siirrr! Here are the keys for your new bike. They also asked me to give you this faaat bill of cash. Can I provide you with anything else?
Rocky counts the given cash and feels like something is off.Rocky: Am I wrong or is there a note or two missing?
Manager: What sir? That's Impossible. I was only given this much sir!
Rocky: *puts his shades on* when you're in my profession for as long as me, you tend to figure out who's lying and who isn't.
Rocky then proceeds to hold the manager's pocket and rip it open to find a Rs.10 note.
Manager: Sir Sir Sir sorry sir. I thought you won't mind losing one note after receiving all this money. Please sir don't tell Daya sir. I have a family sirr.. Please sir!
Rocky: Wishing for money is not the issue. Wishing for my money is. Now tell me.. Where is Chikmagalur and how do I get there?
After the manager apologized a thousand times, he then told Rocky where is the village and how to go there. Before leaving he walks up to the mirror in the lobby and says,
Rocky: Rey manager, how do I look?
Manager: Depends sir, for what purpose are you going there?
Rocky: To meet my loves
Manager: Hero maadiri sir!
Rocky smiles and gives back the Rs.10 note. He exits the hotel and checks out the new bike. He gets on it, kick starts and revs the engine.. loving the sound he starts his journey to Chikmagalur.
Rocky: Rey thambi, I heard there's a medical camp here. Where is it?
Boy: keep going straight and then turn left then a right. Once you reach the statue, take another left and on the third right....
Rocky: Stop. Now repeat but slowly
Boy: Ayoo.. you got confused easily anna. Come I'll take you.
The boy hops onto the bike and guides Rocky to the camp. Upon arrival, Rocky sees a big white tent and a some goons outside the tent.
Boy: You look fine only no? Why do you want to go to that camp? You know that doctor is crazy right?
Rocky: Why ra?
Boy: She's been asking everyone to donate blood after the check up. So no one is going to that camp now.
Rocky: Ooooh.. nice initiative. You go thambi.
Rocky parks his bike and walks up for the camp. The goons stop him and ask him for an identification card. The nurse notices rocky and runs to the rescue. She shouts at the goon and tells them that he's a VIP. She then takes him inside and signs him up. Rocky looks around to find Reena and there she is. Standing there pretty.. talking to an old man..and a few other medical students.. smiling. She could feel someone staring at her. When she turns around guess who she finds..
Reena: Oh god! You came here too? How did you know? And who let you in?
Rocky: Chill Sona.. I came here for a medical check up.. that's all.
Reena: Really? Like I'm supposed to believe that!?
Rocky: *leans in* Why? Are you disappointed? Were you expecting a different answer?
Rocky walks closer and closer to Reena. Like before Reena is again dumbstruck. Maybe it's because she had a sheltered growth all her life. And maybe no one dared to act in such a way with her. Does she like this? Is she secretly enjoying this? Or is she just being nice and not shouting?
Reena: Liss.. Listen... don't come any close okay? I have a needle in my hand and I will use it if I need too.
Rocky: I'm already DEATHED SONAAA.. poke me, pinch me, tease me.. how many times do I tell you.. you've already done a lot of damage.
Reena: Oh god. Fine. You said that you're here only for a check up right?
Rocky nodes
Reena: *walking away* Fine. Sit there and that nurse will do the check up
Rocky: I came all the way from Bangalore because I heard an American doctor is doing the check ups. And now you want me to trust my life with this nurse?
Reena looks up and exhales. She walks back to rocky and pushes him on to the bed. Two of the medical students walk up to Rocky's bed and start taking notes.
Rocky: Wooah slow down Sonaa. You're getting very frisky.
Reena: *rolling her eyes* Do you have any medical complaints?
Rocky: Problem aa? I have sooo many problems. Where do a begin..
Reena: *Grinding her teeth* Begin somewhere.
Rocky: Fine.. There's a problem with my heart. I think the rhythm is missing.... At times it beats fast like a teenmaar song.. and sometimes it beats slow like a melody song..
Med student #1: This condition is called heart arrhythmia
Rocky: Wo mai gaad!.. Is it dangerous?
Med student #2: Of course it is. How long have you been facing it?
Rocky: It stared few days ago... Ever since I laid my eyes on your doctor..
The med students blushed and smiled to
Reena on the other hand didn't know how to react. She covered her forehead and asked the students to leave.To be continued.
