Swara's head was heavy as if a stone was placed on top of her. Wearily she opened her eyes. 

"Swara!" Kunal helped her get up. She was in Kunal's office. awkwardly, looking here and there. 

"Beta! You should take care of yourself!" Mala; Swara's mother insisted. Swara smiled holding her mother's hand. 

"I'm fine Mumma!" Swara replied.

"I want you to eat well and take care of yourself. It happens. You are strong you'll get through this!" Swara stared at her mother startled.

"I'm-I'm fine Mumma! It was just fatigue, I'll get better by tomorrow." 

"To-tomorrow?" Mala looked at Kunal confused. 

Kunal chuckled at Swara's words.

"I can't believe you're a doctor!" Mala got up in rage. walking out of the room. "Take care of your wife, Kunal!" She placed her palm over her forehead, to which Kunal laughed.

"Wh-Why did she get angry?" A confused Swara, questioned Kunal.

Kunal cleared his throat and sat beside Swara. He took her hands into his and made her face him.

"Ok! Umm..." Kunal began...he picked up three pencils from his desk..."This is me, This is you then what is this?..." Kunal questioned.

Swara stared at the pencils, then back at Kunal. After a while of thinking, Swara replied..."Aaru!"

Hearing her response Kunal gave her a blank stare, as to how clueless she was.

"Ok!" Kunal picked up another pencil smaller than the rest and kept it beside the other three pencils. "Ok, now what is this then?"

Swara again stared at the pencils and back at Kunal. After a while of complete silence, her eyes doubled its size in amusement.

"No way!" She had tears in her eyes..."I can't believe this is happening....tell me this is false." Swara questioned.

Kunal smiled broadly seeing how happy the news was making her. She got off her seat and began jumping.

Kunal immediately hopped off stopping her from jumping.

"Don't it'll get hurt!" Kunal restricted her.

"Yes, it'll get hurt." Swara repeated after halting awkwardly. 

"Hold on!" She stated..."How will it get hurt, if I jump?" Swara questioned, confusing Kunal.

"Cause...Cause it's.." Kunal was thinking for a better way to frame it. "It's you!"

Just as Kunal said those words the expression on Swara's face transitioned from a confused look to a dark and angry expression.

"Wh-what's wrong?" Kunal's head went haywire.

"How dare you call me a dog?" Swara crossed her hands over her chest staring right through Kunal's soul.

"What? A dog?" Kunal was muddled.

"Hold on!" He held on to Swara's shoulder and made her sit. "What exactly did you think this small pencil was?" He had to clear the situation.

"We're getting a pet dog aren't we?" Swara questioned with puppy eyes.

Kunal stared at Swara with broad eyes. She was an excellent doctor for sure but clueless when it came to herself.
