The String of Hearts ( Completed )

41) The Report

Vennelas Point of View

*****

"Thank you so much for guiding me Dr. Ayan. I know I was such a pain for you for this whole week"I said, as I was bidding bye to one of my oldest schoolmate.

"Okay first of all, stop calling me Dr. Ayan because I know I was such a jerk to you in school and when you call me that I kind of feel like you're mocking at me just because i was a backbencher"he said. I laughed.

"You might be wondering how I passed MBBS right?"he chuckled.

"No. I knew you were smart"

"Oh come on. You were the nerd. All of our teachers knew you were gonna end up either as a doctor or as an engineer. And see"

"It doesn't matter Ayan. Because now I'm just a patient"I smiled. Ayans smile immediately vanished. He rolled his eyes and fake punched me.

"Don't call yourself that vennela. See you're gonna be fine. I promise you. In 6 months you're gonna be all healthy again"he said. I smiled and nodded.

"So does your mom know about this? About your fight with your husband and your health condition?"he asked.

"No. I try to avoid talking to her about Jay"I said.

"Have you talked to him?"he asked. I pause for few seconds and shook my head.

"I don't want to. At least not for now"I said. I try my best not to think of Jay again.

"Are you considering divorcing him?"he asked and I froze. I just stopped in my fests. There's a sudden pang of pain in my chest. I sucked in breath.

"Divorce?"

"Yeah. My sister kind of went through the same thing. Her husband was a abusive guy and she tried so hard to hold on but-she couldn't take it anymore"

"Jay is not an abusive guy"I said surprising myself. Ayan looks at me in pity. I tried to hold back the tears which are struggling to sneak out my eyes.

"Vennela I'm sorry. I didn't say that to ruin your mood. I don't even know your husband. If you tell me it was a one time thing, I'll believe you"he said.

"It was. He didn't had trust on me. That's what hurted me the most. He could have searched for some explanation but-he didn't"I said.

"I understand. But-now you need to work on yourself. Do what makes you feel good. I've prepared the whole chart of your treatment. Ill be assisting Dr. Giriraj on your case so-you should be tension free and try to be happy"he said.

"Yeah"I nodded and smiled.

"Come I'll drop you home. Its already late"he said.

"No. I can take an auto"I hesitated.

"Oh come on Dr. Vennela. Please let this poor old backbencher to give you a lift"he said dramatically. I chuckled.

"You don't have to keep saying that you were a backbencher. Now see what you've become. The teachers are gonna be more proud of you than me"I said.

"That's true. But it's always fun to pull your legs"he said and lead me outside the house. I shook my head and smiled, following him.

Ayan dropped me back home and he said he'll be meeting me at the clinic in three days. I agreed. As we reached near my house, I saw a familiar car being parked at the front. My heart started pounding instantly knowing that it was Jay's car. I looked at my phone. There five missed calls from Jay and three from Amma. So many worst possible things kept crossing my mind.
