Nalla yosichi dhan discuss panningala ma? Are you guys sure?

( Are you guys sure?)

Joseph asks Neha yet again expecting a different and favourable answer. However Neha nods her head, much to his disappointment,

Ama pa, enaku Siddharth mela yenikum apdhi thonadhu illa. I don't think I'm ready to force it as well, so...

( Yeah, I don't see Siddharth that way and I don't think I'm ready to force it as well, so...)

Joseph sighs heavily not knowing what more to tell. No matter what, it's her choice and her life. If she's not consented, then he has no rights to try to force his wishes on her.

Because end of the day, Neha's the one who's gonna be living it and if she says no, there's not much Joseph can do about it.

Joseph nods in understanding as Neha leaves to the dining table to her room.

Were you supposed to be feeling like this when you did not receive your usual good morning sticker from someone?

Neha couldn't tell because she doesn't feel so good since she woke up to an empty notification panel this morning.

She'd worn her watch upside down and realised it only when her father pointed it out. She'd forgotten the usual route she takes to the hospital, leading to be stuck in traffic for an hour to reach. Not even Neha's happy place, her hospital and the faces of her patients were able to cheer her up.

All this confused Neha, why is she behaving like this? This is so cringe.

Yennachu Doctor, oru madhiri irukinga? Yedhavadhu prechana'ya?

( What happened doctor, why do you seem unwell? Is something wrong?)

Regina asks upon seeing Neha zoned out while twirling the pen in her hand instead of going through the reports of her next patient.

Neha looks up and smiles lightly,

Onnum illa, sister.

( No, I'm okay)

Neha lies shrugging her shoulders meanwhile Regina giggles teasingly,

Prasad doctor iniku varlanu dhane?

( It's because Doctor Prasad didn't come today, ain't it?)

Neha simply raises her eyebrows at Regina putting her teasings to a stop.

She mentally sighs and suddenly she receives a notification. Neha usually keeps her notifications on vibrate however today she decided to not. Neha eagerly taps on WhatsApp only to be disappointed that it's none other than her annoying cousin's group chat that always seems to have something to gossip about - these people never concentrate on their jobs.

After ignoring it as usual, Neha mindlessly taps on the Status to see how the people in her contact lists are enjoying their lives until her eyes fall on that particular contact that's been nagging her.
